Federal Home Loan Bank of New York

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited

Background

The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY” or “the Bank”) is a federally chartered corporation, and is one of eleven district Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLBanks”).  Prior to June 1, 2015, the effective date of the merger of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle into the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (the surviving FHLBank), there were 12 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 11 FHLBanks must allocate the greater of $100 million or 10% of their regulatory defined net income for the Affordable Housing Program.

Note   1.Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and with the instructions provided by the SEC.  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, 2014 included in Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

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 FHLBNY’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 23, 2015, which contains a summary of the Bank’s significant accounting policies and estimates.

Recently Adopted Significant Accounting Policies

Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.  In June, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) — Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.  The FASB’s objective in issuing the amendments in this ASU was to respond to stakeholders’ concerns about current accounting and disclosures for repurchase agreements and similar transactions.  Stakeholders expressed concern that current accounting guidance distinguishes between repurchase agreements that settle at the same time as the maturity of the transferred financial asset and those that settle any time before maturity.  Under pre-existing U.S. GAAP, a repurchase agreement that would mature at the same time as the transferred financial asset (a repurchase-to-maturity transaction) generally was not considered to maintain the transferor’s effective control.

The ASU required two accounting changes.  First, the amendments changed the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting.  Second, for repurchase financing arrangements, the amendments require separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, resulting in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement.  In addition, this guidance requires additional disclosures, particularly on transfers accounted for as sales that are economically similar to repurchase agreements and on the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings.  This guidance became effective for the FHLBNY on January 1, 2015.  The adoption of the amended standards did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption as the FHLBNY’s outstanding transaction had been accounted for as secured lending and consistent with the ASU.  The disclosure for transactions accounted for as secured borrowings was required for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods after March 15, 2015.  The FHLBNY’s disclosures with respect to the secured borrowing comply with the ASU beginning with the second quarter of 2015.

Framework for Adversely Classifying Loans, Other Real Estate Owned, and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention.  In April 2012, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”), the FHLBank’s regulator, issued Advisory Bulletin 2012-02 (“Advisory Bulletin”) that provided two part guidance.  The first guidance, which addresses the classification of assets, was adopted on January 1, 2014 as required.  Adoption had no impact on the results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

The second guidance prescribes the timing of asset charge-offs if an asset is at 180 days or more past due, subject to certain conditions.  The guidance was effective January 1, 2015.  Under the FHLBNY’s pre-existing estimating methodology for the timing of charge-offs, the FHLBNY recorded a charge-off on MPF loans based upon the occurrence of a confirming event, 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 accelerated the timing of charge-offs to the earlier of 180 days of delinquency or a confirming event.   The FHLBNY records a credit loss allowance on a loan level basis on all MPF loans delinquent 90 days or greater (for loans in bankruptcy status, an allowance is recorded regardless of delinquency status).  The amount of the allowance is based on the shortfall of the value of collateral (less estimated selling costs) to the recorded investment in the impaired loan.  As the FHLBNY begins to establish the allowance of credit losses at 90 days delinquency, the impact of adoption was not significant to its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.  At January 1, 2015, the adoption date, the credit loss allowance on mortgage-loans that were past-due 180 days or more totaled $3.7 million, which amount was charged off, reducing the allowance for credit losses and a corresponding reduction in total loans, with no change in Total Assets and no change to earnings.

Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets.  In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.  The ASU clarifies Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets, and provides guidance when consumer mortgage loans collateralized by real estate should be reclassified to Real Estate Owned (“REO”).  Specifically, such collateralized mortgage loans should be reclassified to REO when either the creditor obtains legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure, or the borrower conveys all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement.

Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.  In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-14, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure, which requires that a mortgage loan be derecognized and a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if the following conditions are met: (1) the loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure; (2) at the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor and make a claim on the guarantee, and the creditor has the ability to recover under that claim; and (3) at the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed. Upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor.

ASU 2014-04 and ASU 2014-14 were effective for the FHLBNY on January 1, 2015.  Adoption did not have an impact on the FHLBNY’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Note   2.Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value (NAV) per Share (or its Equivalent).  In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent), which is intended to address diversity in practice related to how certain investments measured at net asset value (“NAV”) are reported within the financial statement footnotes.  The new guidance removes the requirement to categorize investments measured under the current NAV practical expedient within the fair value hierarchy for all investments.  The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the NAV practical expedient.  Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  A reporting entity should apply the amendments retrospectively to all periods presented.  The FHLBNY owns a grantor trust, which invests in bond and equity funds that are readily marketable at their NAVs, which are considered as fair values, not a practical expedient.  The application of this guidance had no impact on the categorization of investments within the fair value hierarchy in the financial statement footnotes, or the statements of condition or results of operations.  For further information, see Note 16.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.  In April 2015, the FASB ASU No. 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement to add guidance to Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software.  The ASU clarifies a customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement, and provides guidance to customers on determining whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license that should be accounted for as internal-use software.  If the arrangement does not contain a software license, it would be accounted for as a service contract. This guidance becomes effective for the FHLBNY for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted.  The FHLBNY can elect to adopt the amendments either (1) prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or (2) retrospectively.  The FHLBNY is in the process of evaluating this guidance and its effect on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, but does not expect the impact to be material.

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.  In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-imputation of interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.  The ASU requires a reclassification on the statement of condition of debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability from other assets to a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.  The intent is to eliminate the different

presentation requirements of debt issuance cost and debt discounts and premiums, which have caused confusion among users of financial statements.  The ASU becomes effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 (January 1, 2016 for the FHLBNY), and early adoption is permitted for the financial statements that have not been previously issued.  The period-specific effects as a result of applying this guidance are required to be adjusted retrospectively to each individual period presented on the statement of condition.  The FHLBNY is currently evaluating this guidance and its effect on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, but does not expect the impact to be material.

Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.  In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) final guidance that requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, disclose that fact in the footnotes.  Management will also be required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans to alleviate that doubt.  The new standard defines substantial doubt as when it is probable (i.e., likely) based on management’s assessment of relevant qualitative and quantitative information and judgment that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year of the date the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued, when applicable).  The standard is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual and interim periods thereafter.  While early adoption is permitted, the FHLBNY has elected not to early adopt and is currently evaluating ASU No. 2014-15, but does not expect the impact of the required disclosures to be material.

Revenue Recognition.  In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  The FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) initiated a joint project to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and IFRS that would remove inconsistencies and improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and industries, and provide more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements.  The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  For a public entity, the effective date of the amendments under this ASU, as issued, was for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period.  On April 29, 2015, the FASB issued for public comment a proposed Accounting Standards Update (ASU) that would defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year, and would permit entities to early adopt the standard.  The comment period ended on May 29, 2015, and the FASB approved the proposed deferral period to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (January 1, 2018 for the FHLBNY), and reporting entities may choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date.  The FHLBNY is in the process of evaluating this guidance.

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.  The FHLBNY is exempted from maintaining any required clearing balance at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Compensating Balances

Beginning in August 2015, the FHLBNY maintained compensating collected cash balances at a financial institution counterparty in return for certain fee based safekeeping and back office operational services that the counterparty provides to the FHLBNY.  There are no restrictions on the withdrawal of funds.  The balance at September 30, 2015 was $245.3 million.

Pass-through Deposit Reserves

The FHLBNY acts as a pass-through correspondent for member institutions who are required by banking regulations to deposit reserves with the Federal Reserve Banks.  Pass-through reserves deposited with Federal Reserve Banks on behalf of the members by the FHLBNY were $45.0 million and $38.4 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The offsetting liabilities due to members were recorded in Other liabilities in the Statements of Condition.

Note   4.Federal Funds Sold, Interest-bearing Deposits, and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell.

Federal funds sold — Federal funds sold are unsecured advances to third parties.

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

The FHLBNY had deposited $1.1 billion in cash at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 with derivative counterparties and these amounts earned interest generally at the overnight Federal funds rate.  As provided under

master netting agreements or under a legal netting opinion, the cash posted was reclassified and recorded as a deduction to Derivative liabilities.  Cash collateral or margin posted by the FHLBNY in excess of the fair value exposures were classified as a Derivative asset.  See Credit Risk due to non-performance by counterparties in Note 15.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

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 collateral is a function of the liquidity and quality of the collateral.  The collateral is typically in the form of securities that meet the FHLBNY’s credit quality standards, are highly-rated and readily marketable.  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 re-pledge the securities received.  No adjustments for instrument-specific credit risk were deemed necessary as market values of collateral were in excess of principal amounts loaned.

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding balances of Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell were $8.9 billion and $0.8 billion that matured overnight.  Of these amounts, $8.7 billion and $0.6 billion at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were executed through a tri-party arrangement that involved transfer of overnight funds to a segregated safekeeping account at the Bank of New York (“BONY”); BONY, acting as an independent agent on behalf of the FHLBNY and the counterparty to the transactions, assumes the responsibility of receiving eligible securities as collateral and releasing funds to the counterparty.  At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, U.S. Treasury securities, market values of $8.7 billion and $0.6 billion were received at BONY to collateralize the overnight investments.

The remaining overnight investments, $0.2 billion were executed bilaterally with counterparties at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and were collateralized by U.S Treasury securities with market values of $0.2 billion at those dates; securities were pledged to the FHLBNY’s custodial safekeeping account.

Securities purchased under agreements to resell averaged $2.1 billion and $1.7 billion in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, and $0.9 billion in the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.  Transaction balances averaged $1.3 billion and $0.9 billion in the same periods in 2014.  Transactions recorded as Securities purchased under agreements to resell (reverse repos) were accounted as collateralized financing transactions.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, interest income from securities purchased under agreements to resell were $0.5 million and $1.0 million, compared to $0.2 million and $0.3 million in the same periods in the prior year.

(a)Unrecognized gross holding gains and losses represent the difference between fair value and carrying value.

(b)Commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) are Agency issued CMBS, collateralized by income-producing “multifamily properties”.  Eligible property types include standard conventional multifamily apartments, affordable multifamily housing, seniors housing, student housing, military housing, and rural rent housing.

(c)The amounts represent non-agency private-label mortgage- and asset-backed securities.

(d)Amortized cost — For securities that were deemed to be OTTI, amortized cost represents unamortized cost less credit OTTI, net of credit OTTI reversed due to improvements in cash flows.

Certain non-Agency Private label MBS are insured by Ambac Assurance Corp (“Ambac”), MBIA Insurance Corp (“MBIA”) and Assured Guarantee Municipal Corp., (“AGM”).  Assumptions by the FHLBNY on the extent of expected reliance by the FHLBNY on insurance support by Ambac and MBIA to make whole expected cash shortfalls are noted in Monoline insurance in subsequent paragraph within this footnote.

Securities Pledged

The FHLBNY had pledged MBS with an amortized cost basis of $9.1 million and $10.2 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 to the FDIC in connection with deposits maintained by the FDIC at the FHLBNY.  The FDIC does not have rights to sell or repledge the collateral unless the FHLBNY defaults under the terms of its deposit arrangements with the FDIC.

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 these tables will not equal unrecognized losses in the Major Security Types tables.  Unrealized losses are calculated after adjusting for credit OTTI.  In the previous tables, unrecognized losses are adjusted for credit and non-credit OTTI.

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the FHLBNY’s investments in housing finance agency bonds had gross unrealized losses totaling $43.7 million and $49.9 million.  These 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 reviewed the portfolio and has observed that the bonds are performing to their contractual terms, and has concluded that, as of September 30, 2015, all of the gross unrealized losses on its housing finance agency bonds are temporary because the underlying collateral and credit enhancements are sufficient to protect the FHLBNY from losses based on current expectations.  As a result, the FHLBNY 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 FHLBNY 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, (collectively GSE-issued securities), by considering the creditworthiness and performance of the debt securities and the strength of the GSEs’ guarantees of the securities.  Based on 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.

Management evaluates its investments in private-label MBS (“PLMBS”) for OTTI on a quarterly basis by performing cash flow tests on its entire portfolio of PLMBS.  For more information about cash flow impairment assessment methodology, see Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

OTTI — One PLMBS, which had been determined to be OTTI in a prior year, was re-impaired, and credit OTTI of $61 thousand was recorded at June 30, 2015 and $29 thousand was recorded at September 30, 2015.  The re-impairments were due to further deterioration in the credit performance metrics of the security.

(a)Unpaid principal balance and fair value of the security deemed to be OTTI at the OTTI determination as of the end of the period.

(b)Represent cumulative OTTI recorded at the OTTI determination quarter end dates.  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 the fair value loss of an OTTI security, is recognized in AOCI. 

Based on cash flow testing, the Bank believes no additional OTTI exists for the remaining investments at September 30, 2015.  The Bank’s conclusion is also based upon multiple factors, but not limited to the expected performance of the underlying collateral, and the evaluation of the fundamentals of the issuers’ financial condition.  Management has not made a decision to sell such securities at September 30, 2015, and has concluded that it will not be required to sell such securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis of the securities.

The following table provides rollforward information about the cumulative credit component of OTTI recognized as a charge to earnings related to held-to-maturity securities (in thousands):

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

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 PLMBS, and the analysis of the securities 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 FHLBNY has determined that for bond insurer AGM, insurance guarantees can be relied upon to cover projected shortfalls.  For bond insurer MBIA, the reliance period is through June 30, 2016.  For bond insurer Ambac, the reliance period is through June 30, 2019 and is further limited to cover 45% of shortfalls.

(a)The FHLBNY has a grantor trust, the intent of which is to set aside cash to meet current and future payments for a supplemental unfunded pension plan.  Neither the pension plan nor employees of the FHLBNY own the trust.  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 (NAVs) are readily available and investments are redeemable at short notice.  NAVs are the fair values of the funds in the grantor trust.  The mutual funds used to manage the assets of the Grantor trust will be sufficiently liquid to enable the trust to meet all future liabilities.  Liquidity shall be assured by keeping an adequate amount of short-term investments in the portfolio to accommodate the cash needs of the trust.  Dividend income and gains and losses from sales of funds were $120.2 thousand and $936.8 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $37.8 thousand and $194.0 thousand for the same periods of prior year and were recorded in Other income.

Unrealized Losses — MBS Classified as AFS Securities

No MBS security was in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2015 or at December 31, 2014.

Impairment Analysis of AFS Securities — The FHLBNY’s portfolio of MBS classified as AFS is comprised primarily of GSE-issued collateralized mortgage obligations, which are “pass through” securities, and floating rate CMBS.  The FHLBNY evaluates its GSE-issued securities 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 value (a) of investments classified as AFS, by contractual maturity, were as follows (in thousands):

(b)Hedge valuation basis adjustments represent changes in the fair values of fixed-rate advances due to changes in LIBOR, which is the FHLBNY’s benchmark rate in a Fair value hedge.

(c)Valuation adjustments represent changes in the entire fair values of advances elected under the FVO.

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

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; and the 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 FHLBNY 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 FHLBNY has not provided an allowance for credit losses on advances.  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 19.  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.  Advances borrowed by insurance companies accounted for 18.7% and 17.4% of total advances at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  Lending to insurance companies poses a number of unique risks not present in lending to federally insured depository institutions.  For example, there is no single federal regulator for insurance companies.  They are supervised by state regulators and subject to state insurance codes and regulations.  There is uncertainty about whether a state insurance commissioner would try to void the FHLBNY’s claims on collateral in the event of an insurance company failure.

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited

As with all members, insurance companies are also required to purchase the FHLBNY’s capital stock as a prerequisite to membership.  The FHLBNY’s management takes a number of steps to mitigate the unique risk of lending to insurance companies.  At the time of membership, the FHLBNY requires an insurance company to be highly-rated and to meet the FHLBNY’s credit quality standards.  The FHLBNY performs credit analysis of insurance borrowers quarterly.  The FHLBNY also requires member insurance companies to pledge, as collateral for the FHLBNY’s custody, highly-rated readily marketable securities and mortgages that meet the FHLBNY’s credit quality standards.  Appropriate minimum margins are applied to all collateral, and the margins are reviewed quarterly to adjust for price volatility.

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, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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’s 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 FHLBNY were fully collateralized throughout their entire term.  The total of collateral pledged to the FHLBNY includes excess collateral pledged above the minimum collateral requirements.  However, a “Maximum Lendable Value” is established to ensure that the FHLBNY has sufficient eligible collateral securing credit extensions.

Note 8.Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio.

Mortgage Partnership Finance® program loans, or (MPF®), are the mortgage loans held-for-portfolio.  The FHLBNY participates in the MPF program by purchasing and originating conventional mortgage loans from its participating members, hereafter referred to as Participating Financial Institutions (“PFI”).  The FHLBNY manages the liquidity, interest rate and prepayment option risk of the MPF loans, while the PFIs retain servicing activities, and may credit-enhance the portion of the loans participated to the FHLBNY.  No intermediary trust is involved.

The FHLBNY classifies mortgage loans as held for investment and, accordingly, reports them at their principal amount outstanding net of unamortized premiums, discounts, and unrealized gains and losses from loans initially classified as mortgage loan commitments.  Loans that are on non-accrual status and that are considered collateral-dependent are measured for impairment based on the estimated fair value of the underlying property less estimated selling costs.

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

	September 30, 2015					December 31, 2014
	Amount			Percentage of Total		Amount			Percentage of Total
Real Estate(a):
Fixed medium-term single-family mortgages	$	293,403		12.14	%	$	327,112		15.63	%
Fixed long-term single-family mortgages	2,122,982			87.86		1,765,661			84.37
Multi-family mortgages	61			—		63			—
Total par value	2,416,446			100.00	%	2,092,836			100.00	%

Total mortgage loans held-for-portfolio, net of allowance for credit losses	$	2,461,944				$	2,129,239

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

(b)Balances represent unamortized fair value basis of closed delivery commitments.  A basis is recorded at the settlement of the loan and represents the difference in trade price paid for acquiring the loan and the price at the settlement date for a similar loan.  The basis is amortized as a yield adjustment to Interest income.

(c)Prior to January 1, 2015, the FHLBNY recorded a charge-off on a conventional loan generally at the foreclosure of a loan.  Beginning January 1, 2015, the FHLBNY adopted the guidance provided by the FHFA and accelerated the consideration for a charge-off when a loan was on a non-accrual status for 180 days or more.  Amount of the charge-off at 180 days is recognized to the extent the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated selling costs, is less than the recorded investment in the loan.  The adoption of the FHFA guidance resulted in the reclassification of $3.7 million in allowance for credit losses on loans that were on non-accrual status of 180 days or more at January 1, 2015.  The amount represented partial charge-off of such delinquent loans, and had no impact on earnings for the quarter as it was a reclassification within the Statement of Condition between the categories Allowance for credit losses and the Carrying values of the MPF loans.  For more information, see Note 2.  Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

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 First Loss Account (“FLA”), was estimated at $26.1 million and $22.1 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  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 $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $0.4 million and $1.3 million for the same periods in prior year.  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:

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

(2)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.

(3)Losses that exceed the liquidation value of the real property and any PMI will be absorbed by the FHLBNY, limited to the amount of the FLA available under the Master Commitment.  For certain MPF products, the FHLBNY could recover previously absorbed losses by withholding future Credit Enhancement fees (“CE Fees”) otherwise payable to the PFI, and applying the amounts to recover losses previously absorbed.  In effect, the FHLBNY may recover losses allocated to the FLA from CE Fees.  The amount of CE Fees depends on the MPF product and the outstanding balances of loans funded in the Master Commitment. CE Fees payable (and potentially available for loss recovery) will decline as the outstanding loan balances in the Master Commitment declines.

(4)The second layer or portion of credit losses is incurred by the PFI and/or the Supplemental Mortgage Insurance (“SMI”) provider as follows:  The PFI absorbs losses in excess of any FLA up to the amount of the PFI’s credit obligation amount and/or to the SMI provider for MPF 125 Plus products if the PFI has selected SMI coverage.

(5)The third layer of losses is 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 FHLBNY performs periodic reviews of individual impaired mortgage loans within the MPF loan portfolio to identify the potential for credit losses inherent in the impaired loan to determine the likelihood of collection of the principal and interest.  Conventional mortgage loans that are past due 90 days or more, or modified, or loans that are in bankruptcy regardless of their delinquency status, are evaluated 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 (except the “First Loss Account”) to provide credit assurance to the FHLBNY.  Conventional mortgage loans, except Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) and Department of Veterans Affairs (“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.

When a loan is delinquent 90 days or more, our practice is to compare the liquidation value of the delinquent loan to its recorded investment, and to record the shortfall as an allowance for credit losses.  This methodology is applied on a loan level basis.  When a loan is delinquent 180 days or more, the FHLBNY will then charge to the allowance for credit losses (in the statements of condition) any excess carrying value over the net realizable value of the loan; the offset will be recorded to reduce the carrying value of the loan.  When the loan is foreclosed and the FHLBNY takes possession of real estate, the balance of the loan that has not been charged off will be transferred from the loan held for portfolio category to Real Estate owned category at the lower of carrying value or net realizable value of the foreclosed loan.

Only FHA- and VA-insured MPF loans are evaluated collectively.  FHA- and VA-insured mortgage loans have minimal inherent credit risk, and are therefore not considered for impairment at a loan-level.  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 there is no other available and reliable source of repayment.  If a loss is incurred, the FHLBNY would withhold CE fee payments to the PFI associated with the loan that is in a loss position.  The amount withheld would be

commensurate with the credit loss and the loss layer for which the PFI has assumed the credit enhancement responsibility.  The FHLBNY’s loss experience has been insignificant and amounts of CE fees withheld have been insignificant.

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 table provides a roll-forward analysis of the allowance for credit losses (a) (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Allowance for credit losses:
Beginning balance	$	851		$	5,388		$	4,507		$	5,697
Charge-offs	(469		)	(1,056		)	(4,665		)	(1,493		)
Recoveries	—			837			—			938
(Reversal)/Provision for credit losses on mortgage loans	(12		)	(50		)	528			(23		)
Ending balance	$	370		$	5,119		$	370		$	5,119
Ending balance, individually evaluated for impairment	$	370		$	5,119		$	370		$	5,119
							September 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Recorded investment, end of period:
Individually evaluated for impairment
Impaired, with or without a related allowance							$	20,181		$	27,389
Not impaired, no related allowance							2,258,094			1,949,490
Total uninsured mortgage loans							$	2,278,275		$	1,976,879
Collectively evaluated for impairment (b)
Impaired, with or without a related allowance							$	3,651		$	1,275
Not impaired, no related allowance							192,130			165,978
Total insured mortgage loans							$	195,781		$	167,253

(a)Absent the implementation of the charge off policy at 180 day delinquency in the first quarter of 2015, allowances for credit losses on individual impaired loans have generally remained flat or lower, in line with improvements in collateral values, and consistent with the improving housing prices/liquidation values of real property securing impaired loans in the states of New York and New Jersey.  As noted previously, the FHLBNY adopted the FHFA guidance effective January 1, 2015 and accelerated the timing of recording a charge-off to the earlier of foreclosure or when a loan is 180 days delinquent.  As the FHLBNY records the initial allowance for credit losses on loans delinquent 90 days or more and continues to evaluate the allowance at least quarterly, the adoption of the guidance and acceleration of the charge-off did not result in additional credit allowance.  Adoption resulted in a reclassification of $3.7 million, reducing the allowance with a corresponding reduction in the recorded investment in impaired loans.

(b)FHA- and VA loans are collectively evaluated for impairment that acknowledges that the unpaid principal balances are insured.  Loans past due 90 days or more were considered for impairment but credit analysis indicated funds would be collected and no allowance was necessary.

Mortgage Loans — Non-performing Loans

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

	September 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Total Mortgage loans, net of allowance for credit losses (a)	$	2,461,944	$	2,129,239
Non-performing mortgage loans - Conventional (a)(b)	$	17,648	$	24,709
Insured MPF loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest (a)(b)	$	3,481	$	1,217

(a)Includes loans classified as special mention, sub-standard, doubtful or loss under regulatory criteria, net of amounts charged-off if delinquent for 180 days.

(b)Data in this table represents unpaid principal balance, and would not agree to data reported in other tables at “recorded investment,” which includes interest receivable.

Mortgage Loans — Interest on Non-performing Loans

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 (in thousands):

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

Interest actually received	296		354		861		994
Shortfall	$	32	$	27	$	81	$	62

(a)Represents the amount of interest accrual on non-accrual uninsured loans that were not recorded as income.  Interest received is recorded as a liability as the FHLBNY considers such amounts received as an advance from servicers that would be subject to repayment at foreclosure, and cash received remains in Other liabilities until legal determination is made at foreclosure.  For more information about the FHLBNY’s policy on non-accrual loans, see Note 1.  Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates.

(a)Based on analysis of the nature of risks of the FHLBNY’s investments in MPF loans, including its methodologies for identifying and measuring impairment, management 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)Interest received is not recorded as Interest income if an uninsured loan is past due 90 days or more.  Cash received is recorded as a liability on the assumption that cash was remitted by the servicer to the FHLBNY that could potentially be recouped by the borrower in a foreclosure.

(d)Represents average recorded investment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

(a)Serious delinquency rate is defined as recorded investments in loans that are 90 days or more past due or in the process of foreclosure expressed as a percentage of total loan class.

(b)Loans discharged from Chapter 7 bankruptcies are considered as TDR.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) and MPF Modification Standards.  Troubled debt restructuring is considered to have occurred when a concession is granted to a borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties and that concession would not have been otherwise considered.  Effective August 1, 2009, the MPF program introduced a temporary loan payment modification plan for participating PFIs, which was initially available until December 31, 2011 and has been extended through December 31, 2015.  This modification plan was made available to homeowners currently in default or imminent danger of default and only a few MPF loans had been modified under the plan and outstanding at September 30, 2015.  Due to the insignificant numbers of

23

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited

loans modified and considered to be TDR, forgiveness and other information with respect to the modifications have been omitted.

Loans modified under this program are considered impaired.  The allowance for credit losses on those impaired loans were evaluated individually, and the allowance balances were $0.1 million and $0.5 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  A MPF loan involved in the troubled debt restructuring program is individually evaluated by the FHLBNY for impairment when determining its related allowance for credit losses.  When a TDR is executed, the loan status becomes current, but the loan will continue to be classified as a non-performing TDR loan and will continue to be evaluated individually for credit losses until the MPF loan is performing to its original terms.  The credit loss would be based on 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.

Loans discharged from bankruptcy — The FHLBNY includes MPF loans discharged from Chapter 7 bankruptcy as TDRs; $10.8 million and $10.0 million of such loans were outstanding at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  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 for credit impairment only if past due 90 days or more, and $0.8 million were deemed impaired due to their past due delinquency status at September 30, 2015.  The allowance for credit losses associated with those loans was $0.1 million.

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

Note 10.Consolidated Obligations.

Consolidated obligations 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 $0.9 trillion and $0.8 trillion as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

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; 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, 2015		December 31, 2014
Percentage of unpledged qualifying assets to consolidated obligations	107	%	107	%

The following table summarizes consolidated obligations issued by the FHLBNY and outstanding at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Total Consolidated obligation discount notes	$	47,060,454	$	50,044,105

(a)Hedge valuation basis adjustments represent changes in the fair values due to changes in LIBOR on fixed-rate bonds in a Fair value hedge.

(b)Hedge basis adjustments on terminated hedges represent the unamortized balances of valuation basis of fixed-rate bonds that were previously in a qualifying hedge relationship.  The valuation basis at the time of hedge termination is amortized as a yield adjustment through Interest expense.

(c)Valuation adjustments represent changes in the entire fair values of bonds and discount notes elected under the FVO.

(c)Hedge valuation basis adjustments represent changes in the fair values due to changes in LIBOR on fixed-rate bonds in a Fair value hedge.

(d)Hedge basis adjustments on terminated hedges represent the unamortized balances of valuation basis of fixed-rate bonds that were previously in a fair value hedging relationship.  Generally, when a hedging relationship is de-designated, the valuation basis is no longer adjusted for changes in the valuation of the debt for changes in the benchmark rate; instead, the basis is amortized over the debt’s remaining life, so that at its maturity, the unamortized basis is reversed to $0.  The unamortized basis was $147.0 million at September 30, 2015, and $119.5 million at December 31, 2014.  Amortization was recorded as a yield adjustment, which reduced Interest expenses by $1.4 million and $4.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $0.8 million and $2.1 million for the same periods in the prior year.

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, membership and activity-based capital stock.

Membership stock is issued to meet membership stock purchase requirements.  The FHLBNY requires member institutions to maintain membership stock based on a percentage of the member’s mortgage-related assets.

Activity based stock is issued on a percentage of outstanding balances of advances, MPF loans and certain commitments.

Membership and Activity-based Class B capital stock have the same voting rights and dividend rates.  Members can redeem Class B stock by giving five years notice.  The FHLBNY’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 non-permanent 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, and 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.  If the FHLBNY became classified into a capital classification other than adequately capitalized, the Bank could be adversely impacted by the corrective action requirements for that capital classification.  For more information about the capital rules under the Finance Agency regulations and a discussion of any corrective actions, see Note 12.  Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings in the audited financial statements included in our most recent Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

(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 and consistent with guidance provided by the banking regulators to maintain the risk weights at AAA 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.

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.

Anticipated redemptions of mandatorily redeemable capital stock in the following table assumes 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):

Restricted Retained Earnings

Under the FHLBank Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement (“Capital Agreement”), each FHLBank is required to set aside 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.  The Capital Agreement is intended to enhance the capital position of each FHLBank.  These restricted retained earnings will not be available to pay dividends.  Retained earnings included $269.4 million and $220.1 million as restricted retained earnings in the FHLBNY’s Total Capital at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Note 14.Employee Retirement Plans.

The FHLBNY 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 FHLBNY maintains a non-qualified 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.  In the first quarter of 2014, the Board of Directors of the FHLBNY voted to make changes to the Pentegra DB Plan and the BEP plan effective July 1, 2014 for new employees hired on or after the effective date; changes to the plans will reduce obligations and expenses for the new employees when the employees become eligible for the pension benefits; changes to the plans had no significant impact on the financial obligations as of September 30, 2015 or any periods in this report.

Plan amendments were also made to the Retiree Medical Benefits Plan for retired employees and for eligible employees.  Effective January 1, 2015, the Retiree Medical Benefits Plan is available to active employees who have completed 10 years of employment service at the FHLBNY and attained age 55 as of that date.  For those employees who qualified to remain in the plan, the current Defined Dollar Plan subsidy was reduced by 50% for all service earned after December 31, 2014, and the annual “Cost of Living Adjustment” was eliminated.  Retired employees remain eligible to participate in the Retiree Medical Benefits Plan.

Note 15.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

General — The FHLBNY accounts for its hedging activities in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly SFAS 133).  As a general rule, hedge accounting is permitted where the FHLBNY is exposed to a particular risk, such as interest-rate risk that causes changes in the fair value of an asset or liability or variability in the expected future cash flows of an existing asset, liability or a forecasted transaction that may affect earnings.

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.  For more information, see Derivatives in Note 1. Significant Accounting Polices and Estimates in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

The FHLBNY, consistent with the Finance Agency’s regulations, may enter into interest-rate swaps, swaptions, and interest-rate cap and floor agreements to manage its interest rate exposure inherent in otherwise unhedged assets and funding positions.  We are not a derivatives dealer and do not trade derivatives for short-term profit.

We use 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”).

When we 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 hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in fair value of the derivatives is recorded in earnings 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.

Principal hedging activities are summarized below:

Consolidated Obligations

The FHLBNY may manage the risk arising from changing market prices and volatility of a consolidated obligation debt by matching the cash inflows on the derivative with the cash outflow on the consolidated obligation debt.

Fair value hedges — In a typical transaction, fixed-rate consolidated obligations are issued by the FHLBNY and we would concurrently enter into a matching interest rate swap in which the counterparty pays to the FHLBNY fixed cash flows designed to mirror, in timing and amounts, the cash outflows the FHLBNY pays to the holders of the consolidated obligations.

When such a transaction qualifies for hedge accounting, it is treated as a “Fair value hedge” under the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging.  By electing to use fair value hedge accounting, the carrying value of the debt is adjusted for changes in the benchmark interest rate, with any such changes in fair value recorded in current earnings.  The interest-rate swap that hedges the interest rate risk of the debt is also recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, with any changes in fair value reflected in earnings.

Cash flow hedges — The FHLBNY also hedges variable cash flows resulting from rollover (re-issuance) of 3-month consolidated obligation discount notes.  Variable cash flows from those liabilities are converted to fixed-rate cash flows by entering into receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps.  We also hedge the variability of cash flows of anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt to changes in the benchmark rate.

When such a transaction qualifies for hedge accounting, the hedge is accounted for under the provisions of a “Cash flow hedge”.  The interest-rate swaps are recorded at fair values on the balance sheet as a derivative asset or liability, with the offset in AOCI.  Changes in fair values of the hedging derivatives are reflected in AOCI to the extent the hedges are effective.  Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is recorded in current earnings.  Fair values of swaps in the cash flow hedge programs are reclassified from AOCI to earnings as an interest expense at the same time as when the interest expense from the discount note or the anticipated debt impacts interest expense.  Since efforts are made to match the terms of the derivatives to those of the hedged forecasted cash flows as closely as possible, the amount of hedge ineffectiveness is not significant.  The two Cash flow strategies are described below:

·Cash flow hedges of “Anticipated Consolidated Bond Issuance” — The FHLBNY enters into interest-rate swaps to hedge the anticipated issuance of debt, and to “lock in” the interest to be paid for the cost of funding.  The swaps are terminated upon issuance of the debt instrument, and gains or losses upon termination are recorded in AOCI.  Gains and losses 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 executes long-term pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps as hedges of the variable quarterly interest payments on the discount note borrowing program.  In this program, we issue a series of discount notes with 91-day terms over periods typically up to 15 years.  We 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 fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded in AOCI and ineffectiveness, if any, is recorded in earnings.  Amounts recorded in AOCI are reclassified to earnings in the same periods in which interest expenses are affected by the variability of the cash flows of the discount notes.

Economic hedges of consolidated obligation debt — When we issue variable-rate consolidated obligation bonds indexed to 1-month LIBOR, the U.S. Prime rate, or Federal funds rate, we will generally 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.  The choice of an economic hedge is made because the FHLBNY has determined that the operational cost of designating the hedges under accounting standards for derivatives and hedge accounting would outweigh the accounting benefits.  In this economic hedge, only the interest rate swap is carried at fair value, with changes in fair values recorded though earnings.

Consolidated obligation debt elected under the Fair Value Option — An alternative to hedge accounting, which permits the debt to be carried at the benchmark (LIBOR) fair value, is to elect debt under the FVO.  Once the irrevocable election is made upon issuance of the debt, the entire change in fair value of the debt is reported in earnings.  We have elected to carry certain fixed-rate consolidated bonds and discount notes under the FVO.  For more information, see Fair Value Option Disclosures in Note 16.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments.  Typically, we would also execute interest rate swaps (to convert the fixed-rate cash flows of the FVO debt to variable-rate cash flows), and changes in the fair values of the swaps are also recorded in earnings, creating a natural offset to the debt’s fair value changes through earnings.  The interest rate swap would be designated as an economic hedge of the debt.

Advances

We offer 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.  We may use derivatives to adjust the repricing and/or options characteristics of advances to more closely match the characteristics of its funding liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements – Unaudited

Fair value hedges — 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, we will simultaneously execute a derivative transaction, generally an interest rate swap, with terms that offset the terms of the fixed rate advance, or terms of the advance with embedded put or call options or other options.  When such instruments are conceived, designed and structured, our control procedures require the identification and evaluation of embedded derivatives, as defined under accounting standards for derivatives and hedging activities.

When a fixed-rate advance is hedged, the combination of the fixed rate advance and the derivative transaction effectively creates a variable rate asset, indexed to LIBOR.  With a putable advance borrowed by a member, we would purchase from the member a put option that is embedded in the advance.  We may hedge a putable advance by entering into a cancellable interest rate swap in which we pay to the swap counterparty fixed-rate cash flows, and in return the swap counterparty pays us variable-rate cash flows.  The swap counterparty can cancel the swap on the put date, which would normally occur in a rising rate environment, and we can terminate the advance and extend additional credit to the member on new terms.  We also offer callable advances to members, which is a fixed-rate advance borrowed by a member.  Within the structure of the advance, the FHLBNY sells to the member an embedded call option that enables the member to terminate the advance at pre-determined exercise dates.  The call option is embedded in the advance.  We hedge such advances by executing interest rate swaps with cancellable option features that would allow us to terminate the swaps also at pre-determined option exercise dates.

Advances elected under the Fair Value Option — We have elected to carry certain advances under the FVO.  Once the irrevocable election is made upon issuance of the advance, the entire change in fair value of the advance is reported in earnings, and provides a natural economic offset when a consolidated obligation debt is elected under the FVO.

Economic hedges of variable rate capped advances — We offer variable rate advances with an embedded 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 standalone cap.

Mortgage loans are fixed-rate MPF loans held-for-portfolio, and the FHLBNY manages the interest rate and prepayment risk associated with mortgages through debt issuance, without the use of derivatives.  Firm commitments to purchase or deliver mortgage loans are accounted for as a derivative.  See “Firm Commitment Strategies” described below.

Firm Commitment Strategies — Mortgage delivery commitments are considered derivatives under the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging.  We account for them as freestanding derivatives, and record the fair values of mortgage loan delivery commitments on the balance sheet with an offset to Other income (loss) as a Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.  Fair values were not significant for all periods in this report.

Member 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 to access the derivatives market.  The derivatives used in intermediary activities do not qualify for hedge accounting, and fair value changes are recorded in earnings.  Since the FHLBNY mitigates the fair value exposure of these positions by executing identical offsetting transactions, the net impact in earnings is not significant.  The notional principal of interest rate swaps outstanding were $31.0 million and $110.0 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The FHLBNY’s exposure with respect to the transactions with members was fully collateralized.

Other Economic Hedges

The derivatives in economic hedges are considered freestanding and changes in the fair values of the swaps are recorded through income.  In general, economic hedges comprised of (1) interest rate caps to hedge balance sheet risk, specifically interest rate risk from certain capped floating rate investment securities, and (2) 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.

Credit Risk Due to Non-performance 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 flows.  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.  The majority of OTC derivative contracts are primarily bilateral contracts between the FHLBNY and the swap counterparties that are executed and settled bilaterally with counterparties, rather than settling the

transaction with a derivative clearing house (“DCO”).  Certain of the FHLBNY’s OTC derivatives are executed bilaterally with executing swap counterparties, then cleared and settled through one or more DCOs as mandated under the Dodd-Frank Act.  When transacting a derivative for clearing, the FHLBNY utilizes a designated clearing agent, the Futures Clearing Merchant (“FCM”) that acts on behalf of the FHLBNY to clear and settle the interest rate exchange transaction through the DCO.  Once the transaction is accepted for clearing by the FCM, acting in the capacity of an intermediary between the FHLBNY and the DCO, the original transaction between the FHLBNY and the executing swap counterparty is extinguished, and is replaced by an identical transaction between the FHLBNY and the DCO.  The DCO becomes the counterparty to the FHLBNY.  However, the FCM remains as the principal operational contact and interacts with the DCO through the life cycle events of the derivative transaction on behalf of the FHLBNY.

Credit risk on bilateral OTC derivative contracts — For derivatives that are not eligible for clearing with a DCO under the Dodd-Frank Act, the FHLBNY is subject to credit risk as a result of non-performance by swap counterparties to the derivative agreements.  The FHLBNY enters into master netting arrangements and bilateral security agreements with all active derivative counterparties that 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 makes estimates of the collateral values in analyzing counterparty non-performance 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 the counterparty, and a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists with the counterparty, the net exposure (less collateral held) represents the appropriate measure of credit risk.  The FHLBNY conducts all its derivative transactions under ISDA master netting agreements.

Credit risk on OTC cleared derivative transactions — The FHLBNY’s derivative transactions that are eligible for clearing are subject to mandatory clearing rules under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as provided under the Dodd-Frank Act.  If a derivative transaction is listed as eligible for clearing, the FHLBNY must abide by the CFTC rules to clear the transaction through a DCO.  The FHLBNY’s cleared derivatives are also initially executed bilaterally with a swap dealer (the executing swap counterparty), in the OTC market.  The clearing process requires all parties to the derivative transaction to novate the contracts to a DCO, which then becomes the counterparty to all parties, including the FHLBNY, to the transaction.

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 net individual derivative contracts executed through a specific clearing agent, the FCM, to a designated DCO, so that a net derivative receivable or payable will be recorded for the DCO; that exposure (less margin held) would be represented by a single amount receivable from the DCO, and that amount be 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.

Typically, margin consists of “Initial margin” and “Variation margin”.  Variation margin fluctuates with the fair values of the open contracts.  Initial margin fluctuates with the volatility of the FHLBNY’s portfolio of cleared derivatives, and volatility is measured by the speed and severity of market price changes of the portfolio.  Initial margin and Variation margins are posted in cash by the FHLBNY.

(a)Derivative instruments without legal right of offset were synthetic derivatives representing forward mortgage delivery commitments of 45 business days or less.  Amounts were not material, and it was operationally not practical to separate receivable from payables, and net presentation was adopted.  No cash collateral was involved with the mortgage delivery commitments accounted as derivatives.

(b)Unsecured amounts represent Derivative assets and liabilities recorded in the Statements of Condition at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The amounts primarily represent (1) the aggregate credit support thresholds that were waived under ISDA Credit Support and Master netting agreements between the FHLBNY and derivative counterparties for uncleared derivative contracts, and (2) Initial margins posted by the FHLBNY to DCO on cleared derivative transactions.

(c)Non-Cash collateral received or pledged not offset — Amounts represent exposure arising from derivative positions with member counterparties where we acted as an intermediary, and a small amount of delivery commitments (see footnote a).  Amounts are collateralized by pledged non-cash collateral, primarily 1-4 family housing collateral.

The gross derivative exposures as represented by derivatives in fair value gain positions for the FHLBNY, before netting and offsetting cash collateral, were $582.5 million and $602.0 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  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 $496.2 million and $563.0 million at those dates.  These netting adjustments included $34.7 million and $143.2 million in cash posted by counterparties to mitigate the FHLBNY’s exposures at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the net exposures after offsetting adjustments were $86.5 million and $39.1 million at those dates.

Derivative counterparties are also exposed to credit losses resulting from potential non-performance risk of the FHLBNY with respect to derivative contracts, and their exposure, due to a potential default or non-performance 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).  Net fair values of derivatives in unrealized loss positions were $290.0 million and $345.2 million, after deducting $1.1 billion of cash collateral posted to the exposed counterparties at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  With respect to cleared derivatives, cash posted to the DCO were in excess of required margins, primarily due to the requirement to post Initial margin.  The DCO was exposed to the extent of the failure of the FHLBNY to deliver cash margin, which is typically paid one day following the execution of a cleared derivative, and that specific exposure was not significant at September 30, 2015.

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 the DCO, holding the FHLBNY’s cash as posted collateral, were analyzed from a credit performance perspective, and based on credit analysis and collateral requirements, the management of the FHLBNY does not anticipate any credit losses on its derivative agreements.

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.  If derivatives meet the hedging criteria under hedge accounting rules, including effectiveness measures, changes in fair value of the associated hedged financial instrument attributable to the risk being hedged (benchmark interest-rate risk, which is LIBOR for the FHLBNY) may also be recorded so that 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.  The net ineffectiveness from hedges that qualify under hedge accounting rules is 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.

The FHLBNY has elected to measure certain debt under the accounting designation for FVO, and has executed interest rate swaps as economic hedges of the debt.  While changes in fair values of the interest rate swap and the debt elected under the FVO are recorded in earnings in Other income (loss), the changes in the fair value changes of the swaps are recorded as a Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities.  Fair value changes of debt and advances elected under the FVO are recorded as an Unrealized (losses) or gains from Instruments held at fair value.

(a) Hedges of anticipated issuance of debt — Amounts represented changes recorded in AOCI and earnings during the periods.  The maximum period of time that the FHLBNY typically hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions in this program is between three and six months.  Open swap contracts under this hedging strategy were $44.0 million and $77.6 million in notional amounts at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The fair values recorded in AOCI were unrealized losses of $1.0 million and $0.2 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The amounts in AOCI from closed cash flow hedges under this strategy were net unrecognized losses of $5.7 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  It is expected that over the next 12 months, $2.0 million of the unrecognized loss in AOCI will be recognized as a yield adjustment (expense) to debt interest expense.

(b) Hedges of discount notes in rolling issuances — Amounts represented changes recorded in AOCI and earnings during the periods.  Open swap contracts under this strategy were $1.5 billion and $1.3 billion in notional amounts at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The fair values recorded in AOCI were net unrealized losses of $110.3 million and $80.8 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The cash flow hedges that mitigated exposure to the variability in future cash flows are typically for a maximum period of 15 years.  At September 30, 2015 the maximum exposure was 13 years.

(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.

(a)Level 3 Instruments — The fair values of non-Agency 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, and consolidated obligations and advances elected under the FVO at fair value on a recurring basis.  On a non-recurring basis, held-to-maturity securities determined to be OTTI and written down to their fair values, and mortgage loans held-for-portfolio that are written down to their fair values or are foreclosed as Other real estate owned (“REO”) and written down to their fair values are reported on a non-recurring basis in the period the fair values are recorded in the Statements of Condition.

The accounting standards under Fair Value Measurement defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Among other things, the standard requires the FHLBNY to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The standard specifies a hierarchy of inputs based on whether the inputs are observable or unobservable.  Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the FHLBNY’s market assumptions.

These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy, and 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:

·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 — Inputs that are unobservable and significant to the valuation of the asset or liability.

The inputs are evaluated on an overall level for the fair value measurement to be determined.  This overall level is an indication of market observability of the fair value measurement for the asset or liability.  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 values approximate the recorded book balances, and are considered to be within the Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Interest-Bearing Deposits, Federal Funds Sold and Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell — The FHLBNY determines estimated fair values of short-term investments by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows of 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 are the yields on the instruments, which 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 pricing primarily from pricing services.  The pricing vendors typically use market multiples derived from a set of comparables, including matrix pricing, and other techniques.

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 employs the concept of cluster pricing and 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

38

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited

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.  The cluster tolerance guidelines shall be reviewed annually and may be revised as necessary.  To be included among the cluster, at September 30, 2015, each price must fall within 7 points (7 points at December 31, 2014) of the median price for residential PLMBS and within 2 points of the median price for GSE-issued MBS.  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 FHLBNY’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 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.  At September 30, 2015, one held-to-maturity private -label MBS was deemed OTTI and was written down to its fair values, so that its carrying values recorded in the balance sheet equaled its fair values, which was classified on a nonrecurring basis as Level 3 financial instruments under the valuation hierarchy.  No held-to-maturity securities were recorded at fair values on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2014, as no MBS were determined to be OTTI.

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.

Grantor trust - The FHLBNY has a grantor trust, which invests in money market, equity and fixed income and bond funds.  Investments in the trust are classified as AFS.  Daily net asset values (NAVs) are readily available and investments are redeemable at short notice.  NAVs are the fair values of the funds in the grantor trust.  Because of the highly liquid nature of the investments at their NAVs, they are categorized as Level 1 financial instruments under the valuation hierarchy.

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.  Both these inputs are considered 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

39

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited

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 input.  For the FHLBNY, Level 3 inputs were considered as 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  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%, 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 Condition 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 — MPF Loans

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 (Unimpaired mortgage 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 (Impaired mortgage 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 by the PFI and acquisition by the FHLBNY.

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.  TBA and agency commitment rates are market

40

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited

observable and therefore 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 a 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.  At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, fair values were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

The fair values of impaired MPF are generally based on collateral values less estimated selling costs.  Collateral values are generally based on broker price opinions, and any significant adjustments to apply a haircut value on the underlying collateral value would be considered to be an unobservable Level 3 input.  The FHLBNY may validate the impairment adjustment made to TBA rates by “back-testing” against incurred losses.  However, the FHLBNY’s mortgage loan historical loss experience has been insignificant, and expected credit losses are insignificant.  Level 3 inputs, if any, 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.  At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, fair values of impaired loans were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy as significant inputs to value collateral were considered to be observable.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, loans that were delinquent for 180 days or more were written down to their fair values of $9.1 million on a non-recurring basis as a Level 2 financial instruments as significant inputs to value collateral were considered to be observable.

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 Condition.  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 executed in the over-the-counter market and are valued using internal valuation techniques as no quoted market prices exist for such instruments.  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, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The FHLBNY’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 — The FHLBNY incorporates the 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 rate curve) is an input to 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.

Credit risk and credit valuation adjustments — The FHLBNY is subject to credit risk in derivatives transactions due to the potential non-performance of its derivatives counterparties or a DCO.

To mitigate this risk, the FHLBNY has entered into master netting agreements and credit support agreements with its derivative counterparties for its bilaterally executed derivative contracts that provide for the delivery of collateral at specified levels at least weekly.  The computed fair values of the 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.

For derivative transactions executed as a cleared derivative, the transactions are fully collateralized in cash and exchanged daily with the DCO.  The FHLBNY has also established the enforceability of offsetting rights incorporated in the agreements for the cleared derivative transactions.

As a result of these practices and agreements and the FHLBNY’s assessment of any change in its own credit spread, the FHLBNY has concluded that the impact of the credit differential between the FHLBNY and its derivative counterparties and DCO 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

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.

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.  The FHLBNY has concluded that valuation models are performing to industry standards and its valuation capabilities remain robust and dependable.

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 non-recurring basis at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, by level within the fair value hierarchy.  The FHLBNY also measures certain held-to-maturity securities and mortgage loans at fair value on a non-recurring basis when a credit loss is recognized and the carrying value of the asset is adjusted to fair value.  ORE is measured at fair value when the asset’s fair value less costs to sell is lower than its carrying amount.  Generally, non-recurring items have not been material for the FHLBNY.

Fair values of Held-to-Maturity Securities on a Nonrecurring Basis — One held-to-maturity PLMBS was measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2015; that is, it was not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but was subject to fair value adjustments as there was 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 are determined to be credit impaired are required to be recorded at their fair values in the Statements of Condition.  For more information, see Note 5. Held-to-Maturity Securities.  No investment securities (held-to-maturity) were carried at fair values at December 31, 2014, as no security was deemed OTTI at that date.

Mortgage loans and “Real estate owned” — During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, loans that were delinquent for 180 days or more were written down to their fair values of $9.1 million on a non-recurring basis.  Real estate owned (“Foreclosed properties”), with fair values of $2.2 million was recorded on a non-recurring basis during the same period.

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

43

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited

the entity has chosen to use fair value on the face of the Statements 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.  Advances have also been elected under the FVO when analysis indicated 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, 2015 and the same periods in the prior year, and at December 31, 2014.

Advances elected under the FVO were short-term in nature, with tenors that were generally less than 24 months.  As with all advances, the loans were fully collateralized through their terms to maturity.  Consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes elected under the FVO are high credit quality, highly-rated instruments, and changes in fair values were generally related to changes in interest rates and investor preference, including investor asset allocation strategies.  The FHLBNY believes the credit-quality of Consolidated obligation debt has remained stable, and changes in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk, if any, were not material given that the debt elected under the FVO had been issued within the past 24 months or less, and no adverse changes have been observed in their credit characteristics.

(a)Advances — The FHLBNY has elected the FVO for certain advances, primarily short- and intermediate term floating-rate advances, and intermediate-term fixed-rate advances.  The elections were made primarily as a natural fair value offset to debt elected under the FVO.

(b)The FHLBNY has elected the FVO for certain short-term callable bonds because management was not able to assert with confidence that the debt would qualify for hedge accounting as such short-term debt, specifically with call options, may not remain highly effective hedges through the maturity of the bonds.

(c)Discount notes were elected under the FVO because management was not able to assert with confidence that the debt would qualify for hedge accounting as the short-term discount note debt may not remain highly effective hedges through maturity.

Note 17.                 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 FHLBNY 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 were par amounts of $0.9 trillion and $0.8 trillion at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

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 approximately $11.5 billion and $9.5 billion as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and had 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 are recorded in Other liabilities and were less than $1.0 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

MPF Program — Under the MPF program, the FHLBNY was unconditionally obligated to purchase $24.0 million and $15.5 million of mortgage loans at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  Commitments were generally for periods not to exceed 45 business days.  Such commitments were recorded as derivatives at their fair values in compliance with the provisions of the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging.  The FHLBNY also has executed conditional agreements with its members in the MPF program to purchase $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion of mortgage loans at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Derivative contracts — When the FHLBNY executes derivatives with major financial institutions that are not eligible to be cleared under the CFTC rules, the FHLBNY and the swap counterparties enter into bilateral collateral agreements.  When the FHLBNY executes derivatives that are eligible to be cleared, the FHLBNY and the FCMs, acting as agents of Derivative Clearing Organization or DCO, would enter into margin agreements.  When counterparties (including the DCOs) are exposed, the FHLBNY posts cash collateral to mitigate the counterparty’s credit exposure; the FHLBNY had posted $1.1 billion in cash with derivative counterparties as pledged collateral at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and these amounts were reported as a deduction to Derivative liabilities.  Further information is provided in Note 15.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

(a)Contractual obligations related to interest payments on long-term debt were calculated by applying the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding long-term debt at September 30, 2015 to the contractual payment obligations on long-term debt for each forecasted period disclosed in the table.  The FHLBNY’s overall weighted average contractual interest rate for long-term debt was 0.83% at September 30, 2015.  Callable bonds contain an exercise date or a series of exercise dates that may result in a shorter redemption period.  Redemption dates of mandatorily redeemable capital stock are assumed to correspond to maturity dates of member advances.  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.

(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.  Also includes projected payment obligations for pension plans.  For more information about these employee retirement plans, see Note 14.  Employee Retirement Plans.

For premises lease obligations, remote backup site and pension commitments, see Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

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

Impact of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers

From time to time, the FHLBNY 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 FHLBNY that, if established, are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the FHLBNY’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 (the “Master Agreement”) with a total notional amount of $16.5 billion at the time of termination of the FHLBNY’s derivative transactions with LBSF on September 18, 2008 (the “Early Termination Date”).  The net amount that the FHLBNY claimed was due after giving effect to obligations that were due LBSF and the FHLBNY collateral posted with LBSF was approximately $65 million.  The FHLBNY 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 FHLBNY fully reserved the LBSF and LBHI receivables as the dispute with LBSF described below makes the timing and the amount of any recoveries uncertain.

As previously reported, the FHLBNY received a Derivatives ADR Notice from LBSF dated July 23, 2010 claiming that the FHLBNY 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 FHLBNY 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 claimed that the FHLBNY was 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 FHLBNY 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.

The FHLBNY and LBSF resumed mediation on February 10, 2015.  The mediation concluded in April 2015 without a settlement.  On May 5, 2015, the FHLBNY submitted a proposed amendment to its proof of claim to reduce the FHLBNY’s claim of approximately $65 million to approximately $45 million.  This figure represents the FHLBNY’s claim for the net amount due to the FHLBNY by LBSF, after giving effect to collateral that the FHLBNY posted with LBSF.  A similar adjustment was also proposed in connection with the FHLBNY’s related proof of claim against LBHI.  On June 1, 2015, the FHLBNY filed a motion seeking the Court’s permission to file those amended claims with the Bankruptcy Court.  Upon LBHI’s consent, on July 21, 2015, the Court entered an order authorizing the claim amendments, which were filed on August 3, 2015.

On May 13, 2015, LBHI, in its capacity as Plan Administrator on behalf of itself and LBSF, filed a complaint against the FHLBNY in the Bankruptcy Court, alleging, among other things, breach of contract related to the Master Agreement.  Among other things, the complaint seeks damages in excess of $150 million, plus unspecified pre-judgment contractual interest.  On July 17, 2015, the FHLBNY filed a motion to dismiss certain of the claims alleged in LBHI’s complaint, which was denied by an order dated September 24, 2015.  The parties are now engaged in pre-trial proceedings, including the exchange of documents, and trial is currently scheduled to commence in the spring of 2017.

The FHLBNY intends to vigorously defend against LBHI’s complaint and to pursue its claims against LBSF and LBHI, as guarantor.  While the FHLBNY believes that LBHI’s complaint is without merit, the amount the FHLBNY actually recovers or pays will ultimately be decided in the course of this litigation.

Note 18.                 Related Party Transactions.

The FHLBNY is a cooperative and the members own almost all of the stock of the FHLBNY.  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, and 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 — In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the FHLBNY assumed $35.0 million of debt from another FHLBank.  No debt was assumed in the three and nine month periods in the prior year from another FHLBank.

Advances Sold or Transferred

No advances were transferred or 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 to the FHLBank of Chicago portions of its purchases of mortgage loans from its members.  Transactions are participated at market rates.  Since 2004, the FHLBNY has not shared its purchases with the FHLBank of Chicago.  From the inception of the program through 2004, the cumulative share of participation in the FHLBNY’s MPF loans that has remained outstanding was $22.5 million at September 30, 2015 and $27.9 million at December 31, 2014.

Fees paid to the FHLBank of Chicago for providing MPF program services were approximately $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the same periods in the prior year.

Mortgage-backed Securities

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

We pay an annual fee of $6.0 thousand to the FHLBank of Chicago for the use of MBS cash flow models in connection with OTTI analysis performed by the FHLBNY for certain of our private-label MBS.

Intermediation

From time to time, the FHLBNY acts as an intermediary to purchase derivatives to accommodate its smaller members.  At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, outstanding notional amounts were $31.0 million and $110.0 million and represented derivative contracts in which the FHLBNY acted as an intermediary to execute derivative contracts with members.  Separately, the contracts were offset with contracts purchased from unrelated derivatives dealers.  Net fair value exposures of these transactions at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 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, 2015, the FHLBNY extended overnight loans for a total of $0.2 billion and $2.8 billion.  In the same periods in the prior year, the FHLBNY extended overnight loans for a total of $0.5 billion and $2.6 billion.  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 and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the same periods in prior year, there were no borrowings from other FHLBanks.

Note 19.                 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 FHLBNY.  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.

Merger of FHLBNY member banks — Hudson City Savings Bank and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company — We had noted in previous filings of a pending merger between Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. with M&T Bank Corporation (“M&T”).  The merger agreement received regulatory approval on September 30, 2015.  Effective as of November 1, 2015, Hudson City Savings Bank (“Hudson City”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. merged with and into M&T’s wholly owned subsidiary, Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T Bank”), with M&T Bank continuing as the surviving Bank.

The parties to the merger had previously indicated their intention to pay off FHLBNY advances upon the closing of the merger transaction.  As noted in the table above, Hudson City’s outstanding balance was $6.0 billion at September 30, 2015.  On November 3, 2015, M&T Bank prepaid $4.0 billion of advances previously held by Hudson City.

We do not expect the merger to have a significant adverse impact on our financial position, cash flows or earnings.  To make the FHLBNY financially indifferent due to the prepayment, the FHLBNY charges a prepayment fee when a member prepays advances prior to the contractual maturities of advances.  However, prepayments may cause a decline in our book of business.  A lower volume of advances could result in lower net interest income and impact earnings in future periods.

Subsequent events for the FHLBNY are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued.  The FHLBNY has evaluated subsequent events through the filing date of this report and other than as noted above, no other significant subsequent events were identified.

Executive Overview

This overview of management’s discussion and analysis highlights selected information and may not contain all of the information that is important to readers of this Form 10-Q.  For a more complete understanding of events, trends and uncertainties, as well as the liquidity, capital, credit and market risks, and critical accounting estimates, affecting the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY” or “Bank”), this Form 10-Q should be read in its entirety and in conjunction with the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

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.

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.

2015 Third Quarter Highlights

Results of Operations

Net Income — 2015 third quarter Net income was $83.0 million, and decreased by $2.6 million, or 3.0%, compared to the prior year period.

Net interest income, the principal source of Net Income, was $110.0 million, a decrease of $6.8 million, or 5.8%, from the prior year period.  Net interest income (“NII”) is driven primarily by the volume of earning assets, as measured by average balances earning assets, and the net interest spread earned in the period.  Average earning assets were $121.4 billion in the current year period, a decline of $9.9 billion, or 7.5%, compared to the same period in 2014.  Advance volume was lower as were overnight investments.  Net interest spread, which is the yield from earning assets minus interest paid to fund the assets, was 34 basis points in the current year period, one basis point higher than in the prior year period.  Net interest income for the prior year period benefitted from $5.0 million in prepayment fees.  No prepayments occurred in the current year period.

·Other Income/(loss) reported a gain of $8.3 million in the 2015 third quarter, compared to a gain of $2.8 million in the prior year period.

·Derivative and hedging activities contributed a net gain of $6.7 million in the 2015 period, in contrast to a $0.6 million loss in the prior year period.  The primary source of derivatives and hedging gains and losses were valuation changes associated with interest rate swaps in standalone economic hedges of debt and advances, and valuation changes on interest rate caps in economic hedges of certain floating-rate investments.

·Service fees, which include correspondent banking fees and fee revenues from financial letters of credit, were $2.5 million in the 2015 third quarter, compared to $2.0 million in the prior year period.

55

·Financial instruments carried at fair values reported valuation losses of $1.0 million in the 2015 third quarter, in contrast to a gain of $1.4 million in the prior year period.

·Other Expenses reported $26.0 million in total expenses in the 2015 third quarter, compared to $24.5 million in the prior year third quarter.

·Operating expenses were $7.9 million in the 2015 third quarter, up from $6.3 million in the prior year period.

·Compensation and benefits expenses were $14.7 million in the 2015 third quarter, almost unchanged compared to the prior year period.

·Expenses allocated for our share of the costs to operate the Office of Finance and the Federal Housing Finance Agency was $3.4 million in the 2015 period, almost unchanged from the prior year period.

·AHP assessments allocated from net income totaled $9.2 million in the 2015 third quarter, compared to $9.5 million in the prior year period.  Assessments are calculated as a percentage of Net income, and the changes in allocations were in parallel with changes in Net income.

Dividend payments — A quarterly cash dividend of $1.02 per share of capital stock (annualized $4.10) was paid in the 2015 third quarter, compared to $1.01 per share of capital stock (annualized $4.05) paid in the prior year third quarter.

Financial Condition — September 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014

Total assets declined to $122.9 billion at September 30, 2015 from $132.8 billion at December 31, 2014, a period decrease of $9.9 billion, or 7.4%.  Advances to members declined to $90.7 billion from $98.8 billion at December 31, 2014, a period decrease of $8.1 billion, or 8.2%.  Cash balances, primarily at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”) and at Citibank N.A, a safekeeping custodian for the FHLBNY, in total was $1.0 billion at September 30, 2015, compared to $6.5 billion at December 31, 2014.  Balances at September 30, 2015 included $245.0 million at Citibank that was maintained as a compensating balance in lieu of fees for certain outsourced processes.  Decline in overall cash balances at September 30, 2015, compared to December 31, 2014 is in line with higher opportunity cost, and excess liquidity is being invested in overnight investments rather than as cash at the FRBNY.

Overnight investments, federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell, were $12.9 billion at September 30, 2015, compared to $10.8 billion at December 31, 2014.  Term federal funds sold balance was $800.0 million at September 30, 2015.  In the past several years, opportunities for investing in short-term assets and meeting our risk/reward preferences have been limited, with a tradeoff between maintaining liquidity at the FRBNY or investing at the then prevailing low overnight rates at financial institutions.  Market yields for overnight investments have improved in 2015.  Additionally, with the success of the tri-party repo infrastructure reform efforts, the FHLBNY has utilized the Bank of New York (“BONY”) as the tri-party custodian bank that provides a streamlined process for exchanging cash for collateral by the BONY.  In first quarter of the current year, we became eligible to engage in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s reverse repurchase transactions (“RRP”).  At September 30, 2015, overnight investments of $8.9 billion included $7.8 billion in the RRP program and the remaining balances in bilateral and tri-party repurchase agreements with counterparties.  With these processes in place at the FHLBNY, we are better positioned to manage the FHLBNY’s liquidity practices, from a risk/reward perspective, and earn higher income from investing excess liquidity.

Advances — Decrease in advances was largely concentrated in ARC advances, due to prepayments and maturing advances in the first quarter of 2015.  Since then prepayments have not been significant, and in the aggregate maturing advances were replaced by new borrowings.  The portfolio of Advances has remained largely unchanged in the last two quarters of 2015.

Long-term investment securities — Long-term investment securities are designated as available-for-sale (“AFS”) or held-to-maturity (“HTM”).  The heavy concentration of GSE and Agency issued (“GSE-issued”) securities and a declining balance of private-label MBS is our investment profile.

Long-term investments in the AFS portfolio at September 30, 2015 were floating-rate GSE-issued mortgage-backed securities carried at fair values of $1.0 billion ($1.2 billion at December 31, 2014).  Long-term investments in the HTM portfolio at September 30, 2015 were fixed- and floating-rate mortgage-backed securities, predominantly GSE-issued; carrying values (amortized cost adjusted for credit and non-credit OTTI ) were $12.8 billion at September 30, 2015 and $12.3 billion at December 31, 2014; private-label issued MBS were 2.3% of the portfolio of mortgage-backed securities.  Cash flow testing and evaluation of our investment securities identified one private-label MBS that was re-impaired in the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2015 and $90.0 thousand was charged to earnings as credit-OTTI on the security; non-credit loss recorded in AOCI was $227.0 thousand in the same period.

Investments in housing finance agency bonds, primarily those in New York and New Jersey, classified as HTM, were carried at amortized cost of $833.6 million at September 30, 2015 ($813.1 million at December 31, 2014).

The FHLBNY owns a grantor trust that invests in highly-liquid registered mutual funds, classified as AFS, and funds were carried at fair values of $28.4 million at September 30, 2015 ($17.9 million at December 31, 2014).  We invested $12.6 million in additional funds in the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2015.

56

Mortgage loans held-for-portfolio — Mortgage loans were investments in Mortgage Partnership Finance loans (“MPF” or “MPF Program”).  Par amounts of loans under this program stood at $2.4 billion at September 30, 2015, up from $2.1 billion at December 31, 2014.  Loans are primarily fixed-rate, single-family mortgages acquired through the MPF Program.  Pay downs in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 have increased to $201.6 million compared to $135.1 million in the same period in 2014.  Acquisitions were $541.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $250.2 million in the same period in 2014.  Credit performance has been strong and delinquency low.  Historical loss experience remains very low.  Residential collateral values have remained stable in the New York and New Jersey sectors, the primary geographic concentration for our MPF portfolio.

Stress test results — Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”), regulator of the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks), has adopted supervisory stress tests for the FHLBanks.  The FHFA requires the annual stress testing for the FHLBanks based on the FHFA’s scenarios, summary instructions and guidance.  In accordance with these rules, the FHLBNY executed its second annual stress test, and publicly disclosed the stress test results on July 23, 2015 by posting on its Website (www.fhlbny.com).  The results of the severely adverse scenario stress test demonstrated capital adequacy under the FHFA’s severely adverse economic conditions.

Capital ratios — Our capital position remains strong.  At September 30, 2015, actual risk-based capital was $6.5 billion, compared to required risk-based capital of $0.6 billion.  To support $122.9 billion of total assets at September 30, 2015, the required minimum regulatory risk-based capital was $4.9 billion or 4.0% of assets.  Our actual regulatory risk-based capital was $6.5 billion, exceeding required capital by $1.6 billion.

Leverage — At September 30, 2015, balance sheet leverage (based on GAAP) was 19.6 times shareholders’ equity, compared to 20.4 times at December 31, 2014.  Balance sheet leverage has generally remained steady over the last several years, although from time to time we have maintained excess liquidity in highly liquid investments, or cash balances at the FRBNY to meet unexpected member demand for funds.

Liquidity and Debt — At September 30, 2015, liquid assets included $768.6 million as demand cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, $245.0 million compensating cash balances at Citibank that could be withdrawn at short notice, $12.9 billion in overnight loans in the federal funds and the repo markets, and $1.0 billion of high credit quality GSE-issued available-for-sale securities that are investment quality, and readily marketable.  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, the Finance Agency requires FHLBanks 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 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 or called advances.  We remain in compliance with regulations under both scenarios.

We also hold Contingency Liquidity in an amount sufficient to meet our liquidity needs if we are unable to access the consolidated obligation debt market for at least 5 days.  The actual Contingency Liquidity under the 5-day scenario in the quarter was $27.3 billion, well in excess of the required $2.4 billion.

We also have other liquidity measures in place, Deposit Liquidity and Operational Liquidity, and those liquidity buffers remain 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 in this MD&A.

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 — We project base net income for 2015 to be about the same as in 2014.  A number of assumptions have been made for the remainder of the year.  We expect significant member initiated advance prepayments in the fourth quarter of 2015 that will earn us significant prepayment fees in the quarter.  In the normal course of business, we would generally re-purchase high costing debt within the calendar year to re-align our balance sheet liabilities subsequent to the advance prepayments.  Repurchases of high costing debt typically results in a charge to net income.  The ability to execute and the timing of any debt repurchases are determined by market conditions and pricing of our FHLBank consolidated obligation bonds, and we cannot assert with certainty if the repurchases would be made within the year.

Advances — The pace of balance sheet growth experienced in the previous two years was driven by the borrowing activities of a few large members, and we cannot predict if advances borrowed by our larger members will be rolled over at maturity or prepaid prior to maturity in 2015.  We also believe any significant growth in borrowings from our wider membership base is unlikely in the remainder of the year, and we expect limited demand for large intermediate-term advances because many members have adequate liquidity.

We have a high concentration of advances with member institutions and a loss or change of business activities may adversely impact future business operations and earnings.  A pending merger between two members, Hudson City and M&T Bank was approved by the regulators on

57

September 30, 2015, and the merger became effective on the close of business on November 1, 2015.  We had been previously advised by Hudson City that the merged entity would likely prepay all or part of the advances outstanding.  At September 30, 2015, advance balances outstanding totaled $6.0 billion, and subsequent to that date and through November 12, 2015, the date this Form 10Q was filed, M&T Bank, the surviving entity had prepaid $4.0 billion of advances previously held by Hudson City.

At September 30, 2015, three members’ advance borrowings exceeded 10% of total advances outstanding at that date — Citibank, N.A. 16.0%, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company 14.1%, the combined holding of New York Community Bank and New York Commercial Bank 11.5%.  Hudson City’s outstanding balance represented 6.8% of the total advance outstanding at September 30, 2015.  For more information, see Note 19. Segment Information and Concentration.

Member banks are also likely to develop liquidity strategies to address proposed regulatory liquidity frameworks, and those strategies may lead certain member banks to prepay advances ahead of their maturities.  Because of the complex interactions among a number of factors driving large banking institutions to address these expected regulatory liquidity guidance, we are unable to predict future trends particularly with respect to borrowings by our larger members.  When advances are prepaid, we receive prepayment penalty fees to make us economically whole, and as a result the FHLBNY’s earnings may not be adversely impacted in the periods when prepayments occur, but may impact revenue streams in future periods.

Credit impairment of investment securities — One private-label mortgage-backed security was determined to be re-impaired in the 2015 second quarter and again in the 2015 third quarter.  The resulting OTTI was only $90.0 thousand.  The carrying values of our private-label mortgage-backed securities were $296.5 million at September 30, 2015.  Their aggregate fair values were $361.4 million, and securities were substantially all in gain positions.  Aside from the one bond deemed OTTI, our cash flow projections indicate no additional OTTI.  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.  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 our 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 to the 3-month LIBOR, borrowing choices may also be less economical for our members, potentially affecting their demand for advances.

Rating — The U.S. Government’s credit is rated by Moody’s as Aaa with the outlook as stable, and AA+ and stable by Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”).  Consolidated obligations of FHLBanks are rated Aaa/P-1 by Moody’s, and AA+/A-1+ by S& P.

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 7.10 for more details about ratings and recent rating actions by Moody’s and S&P.

Other Developments

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico — Our district is comprised of the states of New Jersey and New York, as well as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  With respect to recent news reports regarding the Puerto Rico government debt crisis, we do not own any debt issued by the government of Puerto Rico or its agencies.  In addition, lending to all Bank customers, including our Puerto Rico customers, is made on a secured basis.  In this regard, we note that lending to Puerto Rico-based members accounted for 1.2% of all of our outstanding advances as of September 30, 2015.  Based on the foregoing, we do not expect the financial condition of the government of Puerto Rico to have a material impact on the Bank’s credit or business activities.

FHLBanks of Des Moines and Seattle Merger — Effective May 31, 2015, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle completed the previously announced merger pursuant to the definitive merger agreement, dated September 25, 2014. At closing, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle merged with and into the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, with the Des Moines Bank surviving the merger as the continuing bank.  The first date of operations for the combined Bank was June 1, 2015.  The Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines now provides funding solutions and liquidity to nearly 1,500 member financial institutions in 13 states and three U.S. Pacific territories.  The headquarters remain in Des Moines with a western regional office in Seattle.

The merger had no impact on the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.

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, 2015 and 2014.  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 to the financial statements, in the most recent Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

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 overnight investments.  The primary expense is interest paid on consolidated obligation 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 repurchased, 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 — For the FHLBNY, Net income is Net interest income,  Provisions for credit losses, Other income/(loss), Other Expenses, and Assessments for the FHLBNY’s Affordable Housing Program.

Other Income/(Loss) is primarily net gains and losses from Derivatives and hedging activities, net fair value gains and losses recorded on instruments elected under the Fair Value Option, losses from credit OTTI, and charges due to early extinguishment of the FHLBank debt.  Other Expenses are Operating expenses, Compensation and benefits, and our share of operating expenses of the Office of Finance and the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

2015 third quarter Net income was $83.0 million, and decreased by $2.6 million, or 3.0%, compared to the prior year period.

·Net interest income (before provisions for credit losses), the principal source of Net Income, was $110.0 million, a decrease of $6.8 million, or 5.8%, from the prior year period.  Provision for credit losses were not material in the current year or prior year periods, a reflection of low delinquencies and a stable housing market in the New York, New Jersey states, the primary base of the FHLBNY’s mortgage loan portfolio.  Net interest income (“NII”) is driven primarily by the volume of earning assets, as measured by average balances earning assets, and the net interest spread earned in the period.  Average earning assets were $121.4 billion in the current year period, a decline of $9.9 billion, or 7.5%, compared to the same period in 2014.  Advance volume was lower as were overnight investments.  Net interest spread, which is the yield from earning assets minus interest paid to fund the assets, was 34 basis points in the current year period, one basis point higher than in the prior year period.  Net interest income for the prior year period benefitted from $5.0 million in prepayment fees.  No advances were prepaid in the current year third quarter.

·Other Income/(loss) reported a gain of $8.3 million in the 2015 third quarter, compared to a gain of $2.8 million in the prior year period.

·Derivative and hedging activities contributed a net gain of $6.7 million in the 2015 period, in contrast to a $0.6 million loss in the prior year period.  The primary source of derivatives and hedging gains and losses were valuation changes associated with interest rate swaps in standalone economic hedges of debt and advances, and valuation changes on interest rate caps in economic hedges of certain floating-rate investments.  For more information, see Note 15. Derivatives and Hedging Activities.  Also see, Table 1.13 Earnings Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities, in this MD&A.

·Service fees, which include correspondent banking fees and fee revenues from financial letters of credit, were $2.5 million in the 2015 third quarter, compared to $2.0 million in the prior year period.

·Financial instruments carried at fair values reported valuation losses of $1.0 million in the 2015 third quarter, in contrast to a gain of $1.4 million in the prior year period.  We have elected to account for certain consolidated obligation debt and advances under the Fair Value Option (“FVO”), and for these instruments, changes in the entire fair values of the instruments are recorded through earnings.  Valuation changes have

61

not been significant as the debt instruments elected under the FVO were medium- and short-term in duration, and inter-period fluctuations were caused largely by gains and losses in one period followed by reversals as the instruments approached maturity.  Advances elected under the FVO were primarily variable rate, medium- and short-term instruments and valuation changes were not significant.  For more information, see Fair Value Option disclosures in Note 16.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

·Cash flow evaluation of expected credit OTTI identified one previously OTTI private-label mortgage backed security that was deemed re-impaired and an additional OTTI loss of $29.0 thousand was recorded in the 2015 third quarter.

·Other Expenses reported $26.0 million in total expenses in the 2015 third quarter, compared to $24.5 million in the prior year third quarter.

·Operating expenses were $7.9 million in the 2015 third quarter, up from $6.3 million in the prior year period.

·Compensation and benefits expenses were $14.7 million in the 2015 third quarter, almost unchanged compared to the prior year period.

·Expenses allocated for our share of the costs to operate the Office of Finance and the Federal Housing Finance Agency was $3.4 million in the 2015 period, almost unchanged from the prior year period.

·AHP assessments allocated from net income totaled $9.2 million in the 2015 third quarter, compared to $9.5 million in the prior year period.  Assessments are calculated as a percentage of Net income, and the changes in allocations were in parallel with changes in Net income.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $246.4 million, and increased by $8.5 million, or 3.6%, compared to the prior year year-to-date period.

·Net interest income (“NII”) was $335.4 million in the 2015 nine month period, an increase of $4.3 million or 1.3%, compared to the prior year period.  While, average earning assets in the aggregate were a little lower compared to the same period in 2014, advances, long-term investments and mortgage loans were a little higher, benefitting interest income.  The overall decline in average earning assets was driven by lower overnight investments in federal funds and repurchase agreement and the impact on net interest margin was not significant.  Net interest spread was 34 basis points in the current year period, unchanged from the prior year period.  Significant prepayments in the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2015, primarily in the first quarter of 2015, contributed $8.4 million in prepayments fees, compared to $7.0 million in prepayment fees in the prior year period.

·Other Income (Loss) reported net gains of $17.0 million in the 2015 nine month period, compared to net gains of $5.7 million in the prior year year-to-date period.

·High costing debt bought back in the earlier periods in 2015 resulted in a $7.8 million charge to earnings in the 2015 year-to-date period, compared to $0.4 million in the prior year period.

·Derivatives and hedging activities contributed cumulative gains of $24.1 million in the 2015 period, driven primarily by fair value changes on standalone derivatives.  In contrast, in the prior year period, a net loss of $4.4 million was recorded, also largely associated with standalone derivatives.

·Service fees were $7.8 million in the 2015 period versus $6.6 million in the prior year period.

·Financial instruments carried at fair values reported valuation losses of $6.9 million in the 2015 period, in contrast to valuation gains of $3.9 million in the prior year period.

·Cash flow evaluation of expected credit OTTI identified additional OTTI loss of $90.0 thousand on previously OTTI private-label mortgage backed security in the current year period.  No OTTI was recorded in the prior year period.

·Other Expenses reported $78.0 million in total expenses in the 2015 nine month period, compared to $72.4 million in the prior year year-to-date period.

·Operating expenses were $21.6 million in the 2015 period, slightly up from $20.4 million in the prior year period.

·Compensation and benefits expenses were $46.0 million in the 2015 period, up from $41.7 million in the prior year period.  The increase was driven primarily by higher pension expenses, increases in compensation costs due to inflationary increases and staff additions.

·Expenses allocated for our share of the costs to operate the Office of Finance and the Federal Housing Finance Agency was $10.4 million in the 2015 period, almost unchanged from the prior year period.

AHP assessments allocated from net income totaled $27.5 million in the 2015 nine month period, compared to $26.5 million in the prior year 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 yields 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):

(a)Total Interest Income and Total Interest Expense — See Table 1.7 and 1.9 together with accompany discussions.

Net interest income declined in the 2015 third quarter over the same quarter in the prior year.  Net interest spread in the 2015 period was 34 basis points, up by one basis point from the prior year period.  Net interest spread is the difference between yields earned on interest-earning assets and yields paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  Advance yields grew by 4 basis points to 56 basis points in the current year quarter.  Improved market yields in the overnight federal funds and repo markets also earned higher interest income from investing excess liquidity in the 2015 period.  Aggregate yield was 12 basis points in the current year period, up from 7 basis points in the prior year period.  Offsetting the favorable changes, consolidated obligation bond cost of funds debt was 48 basis points in the current year period, up from 41 basis points in the prior year period.  The cost of discount notes was 23 basis points in the current year period, up from 18 basis points in the prior year period.  The decline in the book of business, as represented by average earning assets, adversely impacted interest revenues.  Average earning assets were $121.4 billion in the 2015 period, a decline of $9.9 billion compared to the 2014 period, primarily driven by lower average advance balances, which averaged $90.1 billion in the current year third quarter, compared to $97.0 billion in the prior year period.  Investments in federal funds sold and overnight repo balances were also lower in the current year period, and averaged $13.2 billion in the current year period, compared to $17.0 billion in the prior year period.

Net interest margin, a measure of margin efficiency is Net interest income divided by average earning assets, was 36 basis points in the 2015 period, and improved one basis point from the prior year period.  These key performance parameters have been stable period-over-period, indicative of a robust asset-liability management strategy that has withstood the uncertainties in the capital markets.

Net interest income for the year-to-date period ended September 30, was $335.4 million, compared to $331.1 million in the same period in 2014.  The small increase was primarily due to significant prepayments in the 2015 first quarter that contributed $8.4 million in prepayments fees, compared to $7.0 million in prepayment fees in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  While average earning assets in the current year-to-date period was a little lower compared to the same period in 2014, the decline was due to lower overnight investments and the impact was marginal. Net interest spread was 34 basis points in the current year period, unchanged from the prior year period.

Interest income from investing member capital — In the very low interest rate environment for overnight and short-term investments, 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.  Retained earnings balance is another component of deployed capital.  Average capital was $6.4 billion in the 2015 third quarter, compared to $6.5 billion in the prior year period; the average capital for the year-to-date period ended September 30, was $6.4 billion in 2015 and 2014.  In the past several years, opportunities for investing in short-term assets and meeting our risk/reward preferences have been limited, with a tradeoff between maintaining liquidity at the FRBNY or investing at the low prevailing overnight rates at financial institutions.

In the 2015 periods, market yields for overnight investments have improved, and with the introduction of the tri-party repo lending at the FHLBNY, we are better poised to manage our risk/reward liquidity policies and earn higher interest income from investing excess liquidity.  For more information about factors that impact Interest income and Interest expense, see Table 1.3 and discussions thereto.  Also, see Table 1.5 Spread and Yield Analysis, and Table 1.6 Rate and Volume Analysis.

GAAP compared to Economic — 2015 third quarter compared to the 2014 third quarter, and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Although we believe these non-GAAP financial measures used by management may enhance investor and members’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.

The following tables contrast Net interest income, Net income (a)spread and Return on earning assets between GAAP and economic basis (dollar amounts in thousands):

Economic net interest income	$	354,216	0.39	%	0.36	%	$	341,822	0.36	%	0.35	%

(a)The net interest income reported as an adjustment to GAAP interest income was for the most part generated by interest rate swaps in economic hedges 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).  Net interest accruals were favorable on such interest rate swaps, which reduced the effective cost of debt by $7.3 million and $18.8 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared with $4.0 million and $10.7 million in the same periods in the prior year.  In each period, such swap interest accrual income was reported as a derivative gain in Other income.  From an economic perspective, interest payments and receipts are an integral part of the FHLBNY’s business model that converts fixed-rate exposures to LIBOR exposures and should be considered as a relevant measure of our interest margin performance, rather than as a derivative and hedging gain.  Yields and spreads are annualized.  Table 1.4 above provides useful information to track the impact on our economic net interest margin.

(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. When we issue fixed-rate debt that is hedged with an interest rate swap, the hedge effectively converts the debt into a simple floating-rate bond. Similarly, we make fixed-rate advances to members and hedge the advances with a pay-fixed and receive-variable interest rate swap that effectively converts the fixed-rate asset to one that floats with prevailing LIBOR rates. 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 spreads are annualized.

Interest Income — 2015 third quarter compared to 2014 third quarter, and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014.

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):

(a)Interest income from advances — Interest income from advances in qualifying hedging relationships is recorded net of the fixed-rate payments to derivative counterparties in exchange for floating-rate cash flows received.  As a result, reported interest income would not necessarily be the same for advances if not hedged.  Table 1.8 summarizes the impact of interest rate swaps on advance interest income that effectively reduced fixed-rate advance interest income to a sub-LIBOR level for hedged advances.

In the 2015 third quarter, interest income from advances grew by $0.8 million, or 0.6% compared to the same period last year; the small increase was rate (or yield) driven.  Business volume was lower (business volume is defined as average outstanding balances), was due to lower average outstanding advance balances in the 2015 third quarter, compared to the prior year period.  Significant member initiated prepayments of $7.2 billion in the 2015 first quarter had driven down outstanding balances, and the book of advance business has since remained relatively unchanged.  Average advance balance in the 2015 third quarter was $90.1 billion, a decline from $97.0 billion in the same period in 2014.  Weighted average yield, on a swapped basis, was 56 basis points in the 2015 third quarter, up 4 basis points from the same period last year.  On an unswapped basis, the aggregate weighted average yield was 163 basis points in the current year third quarter, compared to 155 basis points in the prior year period.  The rising short LIBOR index benefitted net yields on swapped advances.  The receive-leg of interest rate swaps, which is indexed to LIBOR, reported an increase in cash flows received and the increase was in line with rising 3-month LIBOR index period-over-period.  ARC advances, and overnight and short-term advances, which re-price at short intervals also benefitted from the increase, albeit small, in short-term rates, specifically LIBOR.  The favorable rate related improvements were offset by decline in the book of advance business in the 2015 third quarter.

On a year-to-date basis at September 30, interest income from advances grew by $24.7 million, or 7.0% in the 2015 period.  Volume growth contributed only $1.3 million, and that was due to a small increase in average advance balances during the early months in 2015.   Rate related increases contributed $23.4 million in incremental interest income in the 2015 third quarter; prepayment activity, specifically in the 2015 first quarter, contributed $8.4 million in prepayment fees, compared to $7.0 million in the year-to-date period in 2014.  Prepayment fees are included in interest income from advances as they are considered to be an adjustment of yield.  In the early 2015 (2015 first quarter), par amounts of $6.8 billion of ARC advances were prepaid and $415.0 million of fixed-rate advances were also prepaid when the FDIC put a borrowing member into receivership.  Weighted average yield, on a swapped basis, was 55 basis points in the 2015 year-to-date period, compared to 52 basis points in the same period last year.  Weighted average yield, on an unswapped basis, was 159 basis points in the 2015 year-to-date period, compared to 163 basis points in the same period last year.

(b)Interest bearing deposits — Represents interest income from cash collateral and margins posted to derivative counterparties and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, a Derivative Clearing Organization (“DCO”).

Interest income from deposits posted as collateral has increased in the 2015 third quarter compared to the prior year period, consistent with higher overnight federal funds effective rate, which is the earning index for cash collateral and margins.  Average yield was 15 basis points in the 2015 third quarter, compared to 8 basis points in the prior year period.  On a year-to-date basis at September 30, interest income also increased due to the impact of higher prevailing rates in the 2015 period.  The increase in interest income was partly offset by the decline in the average amounts of collateral posted as a growing volume of derivative trades are cleared through a central DCO, enabling us to net positive and negative derivative contracts, effectively compressing posted cash margins.

(c)Interest income from investments in federal funds and other overnight funds — Interest income from overnight investments increased in the 2015 third quarter, consistent with higher prevailing overnight federal funds effective rate.  The favorable impact of higher market yield was partly offset by lower volume of investments (average outstanding balances).  Average balances declined to $13.2 billion in the 2015 period from $17.0 billion in the 2014 period.  On a year-to-date basis at September 30, interest income was also higher in the 2015 period due to the higher prevailing rates, and offset the impact of lower volume, $12.1 billion in the 2015 period, compared to $15.6 billion in the prior year period.

(d) Interest income from investment securities — Available-for-sale and Held-to-maturity securities — Long-term investment securities, primarily GSE issued mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) were designated as available-for-sale (“AFS”) or held-to-maturity (“HTM”).

·MBS in the AFS portfolio were carried at fair values totaling $1.0 billion at September 30, 2015 ($1.2 billion at December 31, 2014); unpaid principal balances were $1.0 billion at September 30, 2015 and $1.2 billion at December 31, 2014.  MBS securities were substantially all in unrealized gain positions at those dates.  MBS in the AFS portfolio are floating-rate GSE issued securities. For more information, see Note 6. Available-for-sale securities.

·MBS in the HTM portfolio were carried at amortized cost adjusted for credit and non-credit OTTI (for more information, see Note 5. Held-to-maturity securities) totaling $12.8 billion at September 30, 2015 ($12.3 billion at December 31, 2014), and 97.7% were GSE-issued.  Unpaid principal balances were $12.9 billion at September 30, 2015 and $12.4 billion at December 31, 2014.  MBS in the HTM portfolio were fixed-rate and floating-rate securities.

·Investments in housing finance agency bonds (“HFA bonds”), primarily those in New York and New Jersey, were carried at amortized cost of $833.6 million at September 30, 2015 ($813.1 million at December 31, 2014) and were classified as HTM.  HFA bonds were primarily floating rate.

67

·We own a Grantor trust, primarily comprising of bond and equity funds with quoted net asset values (“NAVs”), the purpose is to finance future obligations under the non-qualified pension obligations. The Grantor trust is classified as AFS and carried at fair values of $28.4 million at September 30, 2015 and $17.9 million at December 31, 2014.  We invested $12.6 million during the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2015.

Changes in interest income from investments in the 2015 periods have been driven primarily by three factors - the prevailing LIBOR index (for floating rate MBS), the trading margin or the spread above LIBOR for new acquisition, and the volume of acquisitions to replace pay-downs (principal amortization).   For MBS, both floating-rate and fixed-rate, yields have continued to be low due to continued margin compression relative to the LIBOR index, which impacts our funding costs.  Tight supply of securities has been the primary cause, and these conditions have limited acquisition only when they meet our risk/return criteria.

Yield metrics on MBS are discussed on an economic basis and the metrics exclude the impact on average balances for adjustments to the carrying values for credit and non-credit OTTI, and recoveries of OTTI (accretable yields).  The yields discussed may not be the same as those presented in Table 1.5 Spread and Yield Analysis, which would include the impact of credit OTTI and accretable yield.  Economic yields used as a basis for discussions may enhance investor and shareholders’ understanding of market conditions.

·Floating-rate MBS are indexed to short-term LIBOR, typically 1-month LIBOR, which has been at record lows in the recent and past periods; the 1-month LIBOR index has steadily moved higher in 2015, albeit small, about 3 basis points on average.  The average 1-month LIBOR was 18.4 basis points in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, up from 15.4 basis points in the prior year period.  Rate increases will have a lagging impact, and we expect to see a positive impact as the securities re-price in future periods.  Spread compression remains the significant driver that has caused yields to decline in the 2015 periods for new acquisitions that have replaced contractual paydowns.  Aggregate yield on floating-rate MBS was about 68 basis points in the 2015 third quarter, compared to about 71 basis points in the 2014 period.  Volume, as measured by average outstanding balances at historical amortized cost, was $6.7 billion in the 2015 third quarter, compared to $6.0 billion in the prior year period.  On a year-to-date basis at September 30, average balance was $6.5 billion in the 2015 period, compared to $6.0 billion in the same period in 2014.  Yield was 69 basis points in the 2015 year-to-date period, compared to 74 basis points in the prior year period.

·Fixed-rate MBS coupons have been declining as vintage fixed-rate MBS with higher coupons have paid down and replaced by lower yielding MBS.  Aggregate yield on fixed-rate MBS was on average about 293 basis points in the 2015 third quarter, compared to 308 basis points in the 2014 third quarter.  Volume, as measured by average outstanding balances at historical amortized cost, was $7.3 billion in the 2015 third quarter, a little higher compared to the prior year period.  On a year-to-date basis at September 30, average balance was $7.2 billion in the 2015 period, slightly lower than during the same period in 2014.  Yield was 302 basis points in the 2015 period, compared to 308 basis points in the prior year period.  The impact of a substantially unchanged volume of investment securities combined with the fact that high-yielding vintage fixed-rate securities were replaced by lower yielding securities, had an adverse impact on interest income from fixed-rate MBS.

(e)Interest income from mortgage loans — Interest income from MPF loans has increased in the 2015 third quarter driven by higher loan volume, as measured by average outstanding balances, which grew to $2.4 billion in the 2015 period, up from $2.0 billion in the prior year period.  Yield was 337 basis points in the 2015 period, compared to 359 basis points in the 2014 period.  The unfavorable impact of lower yields in the 2015 third quarter was offset by the volume benefits of increased acquisitions in the current year period.  On a year-to-date basis at September 30, higher volume contributed to an increase in interest income and was partly offset by lower yields.

NM — Not meaningful.

Impact of hedging on Interest income from advances — 2015 third quarter compared to 2014 third quarter, and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014.

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.

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

(a) On interest rate swaps that have hedged fixed-rate advances, we have paid to swap counterparties on a net basis $235.5 million and $708.0 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared with $250.2 million and $752.8 million in the same periods of the prior year.  A fair value hedge of an advance is accomplished by the execution of an interest rate swap with a pay fixed-rate leg and a receive LIBOR-indexed variable rate leg.  In that hedge strategy, the combination of the swap and the advance results in a synthetic conversion of the fixed-rate funding advance to LIBOR indexed variable interest income.  As a result of the fair value hedging strategy, the net cash flows for the FHLBNY have been cash outflows to swap dealers in the periods in this report, reducing the higher fixed-rate advance yield to a LIBOR basis.  However, the hedging activities have achieved our interest rate risk mitigation strategies.  In the 2015 third quarter and year-to-date periods, lower amounts of net interest cash outflows to swap dealers was primarily due to the prepayments and modifications of vintage high-coupon fixed-rate interest rate swaps, when the associated hedged advances have been prepaid or modified.  Additionally, as more medium and shorter-term advances have been issued and hedged, the interest rate swaps were also medium or shorter-term and the spread between the fixed-rate coupon and the 3-month LIBOR was narrower, driving down the net cash flows paid to swap counterparties.

Interest expense — 2015 third quarter compared to 2014 third quarter, and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014.

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 is the Fair Value hedge that creates LIBOR-indexed funding.  We also use the Cash Flow hedge strategy that creates long-term fixed-rate funding to lock in future net interest margin.  In a Fair value hedge strategy of a bond or discount note, we generally pay variable-rate LIBOR-indexed cash flows to swap counterparties.  In exchange, we receive fixed-rate cash flows, which typically mirror the fixed-rate coupon payments to investors holding the FHLBank debt.  This exchange effectively converts fixed coupons to floating rate coupons indexed to the 3-month LIBOR.

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

(a)Interest expense on consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes — Interest expense is recorded net of the floating-rate payments to derivative counterparties in return for fixed-rate cash inflows for debt in qualifying hedging relationships.  As a result, reported expenses would not necessarily be the same for the debt if not hedged.  Table 1.10 summarizes the impact of interest rate swaps debt expenses that benefitted from favorable swap cash flows in the existing interest rate environment in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, reducing fixed-rate debt expense to a sub-LIBOR level for hedged debt.  If in future periods, LIBOR rises to levels above the fixed-rate contracts, the net cash flows between the swap counterparty and the FHLBNY would become unfavorable.

A number of factors impact the cost of funding in the 2015 period compared to the same periods in 2014.  One factor is the mix between the use of discount notes (which have a maximum maturity of one year) and consolidated fixed-rate bonds.  Another factor is the mix between the use of fixed-rate bonds and floating-rate bonds, which re-price at 3-month or less and are typically indexed to LIBOR.  The mix is partly determined by the interest rate profile of assets that are being funded, and partly by the asset-liability funding strategies that are in line with the Bank’s interest rate risk profile.  A third factor is the level of LIBOR and the debt issuance spread to LIBOR.  In general, the continued low 3-month LIBOR has had a negative impact on debt that is swapped to sub-LIBOR levels.  When the 3-month LIBOR declines to very low levels, there is very little room for the spread to remain at a level that is consistent with the higher credit rating ascribed to the FHLBank debt.  As a result, pricing of bonds have remained at tight spreads to LIBOR, a continuation of the trend observed over the recent past.  That spread is a key driver in the cost of funding as it is the FHLBNY’s practice to attempt to hedge its fixed-rate debt to LIBOR.  The small increase in LIBOR in 2015 has tended to increase the synthetic cost of debt that is swapped, as when the short-term LIBOR rises, we tend to pay higher amounts of cash payments to swap counterparties in the swap of a debt instrument in which we pay LIBOR indexed cash flows and receive fixed-rate cash flows.  Rising LIBOR also results in increased cost of funding of variable-rate debt indexed to LIBOR.

The discussions, below, will address some of the key funding metrics:

Consolidated obligation debt, bonds and discount notes, has funded over 90% of earning assets in each of the periods in this report.  The funding mix between the use of fixed-rate and floating-rate consolidated bonds, and discount notes changed a little in 2015,  with discount notes funding 36% of earning assets in the 2015 third quarter, and 37% in the  year-to-date period ended September 30, 2015, compared to 33% and 31% in the same periods in the prior year.  Discount notes are carried at lower yields (relative to bonds), as discount notes are short-term funding vehicles, and that mix between discount notes and bonds is an asset/liability management decision based on the funding environment.

Consolidated obligation bonds (“CO bonds”) — Aggregate interest expense on fixed-rate and floating-rate CO bonds in the 2015 third quarter was $85.1 million, an increase of 4.6% over the same period last year.  The expense is net of the impact of hedging certain medium and longer-term CO bonds, and almost all callable CO bonds.  The aggregate yield paid on bonds, swapped and un-swapped, was 48 basis points in the 2015 third quarter, compared to 41 basis points in the prior year period.  On an unswapped basis, the weighted average yield on fixed-rate CO bonds was 91 basis points in the 2015 third quarter, compared to 84 basis points in the prior year period.  Fixed-rate bonds funded 48.1% of earning assets in the 2015 third quarter, compared to 50.8% in the prior year period.  Aggregate yield paid on floating-rate CO bonds has increased in line with the rising LIBOR, 18 basis points in the 2015 third quarter, compared to 12 basis points in the prior year period.  Floating-rate bonds funded 9.0% of earning assets in the 2015 third quarter, compared to 8.8% in the prior year period.

On a year-to-date basis at September 30, interest expense was $245.6 million in the 2015 period, an increase of 3.7% over the same period last year.  The aggregate yield paid on bonds, swapped and unswapped, was 48 basis points in the 2015 period, compared to 42 basis points in the prior year period.  On an unswapped basis, the weighted average yield on fixed-rate CO bonds was 90 basis points in the 2015 year-to-date period, compared to 87 basis points in the prior year period.  Fixed-rate bonds funded 49.1% of earning assets in the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2015, compared to 50.7% in the prior year period.  Weighted average yield paid on floating-rate CO bonds was 17 basis points in the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2015, compared to 12 basis points in the prior year period. Floating-rate bonds funded 6.8% of earning assets in the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2015 compared to 10.1% in the prior year period.

Consolidated obligation discount notes — As discount notes are short term funding, one year or less, the yields paid are lower than fixed-rate CO bonds, and are typically issued at a small premium over equivalent maturity Treasury bills.  Discount notes do not make interest payments; instead the note is matured at a par value below the issuance price, and the difference between issuance price and par is used to “accrete” to par and to calculate the yield.

69

In the 2015 third quarter, interest expense was $25.3 million, 31.1% higher than in `the same period last year.  The yield paid on consolidated obligation discount notes was about 15 basis points on an un-swapped basis in the 2015 third quarter, compared to 10 basis points in the prior year period.  The yield on discount notes on a swapped basis was about 23 basis points in the 2015 third quarter, compared to 18 basis points in the prior year period.

On a year-to-date basis at September 30, interest expense was $71.3 million, an increase of 33.8 % over the same period last year.  The yield paid on consolidated obligation discount notes was about 21 basis points on a swapped basis in the 2015 year-to-date period ended September 30, compared to 18 basis points in the prior year period.  On an unswapped basis the cost of discount note funding was 13 basis points in the current year-to-date period, compared to 9 basis points from in the prior year period.  The increased cost on a swapped basis was due to cash flow hedge strategies associated with $1.3 billion (on average) of discount notes that have synthetically converted the variability of cash flows of the 91-day discount notes to long-term fixed rate cash flows.  The long-term fixed-rates are significantly higher than the 3-month LIBOR rates.  The synthetic fixed-rate cash flows are utilized to fund long-term fixed-rate investments in MBS.  In this cash flow hedge relationship, the accruals are typically unfavorable to the overall cost of the discount notes, relative to an unswapped basis, increasing the discount note expense to a long-term fixed-rate; however, the strategy assures us of achieving a predictable long-term cost of funds.  For the current year third quarter, the synthetic conversion to fixed-rate cash flows resulted in increased cost of $9.2 million, compared to $8.9 million in the prior year third quarter.  On a year-to-date basis at September 30, the comparable impact on interest expense was $26.5 million in the 2015 period and $26.3 million in the prior year period.

(b)Interest expense on deposits — The FHLBNY takes deposits from members as a service to its members, and such deposits are not a significant source of funds.  Average balances declined in the 2015 third quarter to $1.0 billion, compared to $1.7 billion in the prior year period.  On a year-to-date basis at September 30, average deposit balances were $1.2 billion, compared to $1.6 billion in the prior year period.  The decline in balances explains the decline in interest expense on deposits.  Other deposits included cash collateral received from swap counterparties to mitigate the FHLBNY’s fair value exposures on open derivative positions, and balances and interest expense were not significant.

(c)   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 to conform to accounting rules with respect to the classification of such dividends.  Reported interest expense has declined due to lower average balances of capital stock held by non-members to support their outstanding advances.

NM — Not meaningful.

Impact of hedging on Interest expense on debt — 2015 third quarter compared to 2014 third quarter, and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014.

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.  The cash flow objectives are accomplished by utilizing Fair value hedging strategy, benefitting 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 issued in conjunction with the execution of interest rate swaps 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, and designate the hedge as an economic hedge.

We have also created synthetic long-term fixed rate funding to fund long-term investments, utilizing a Cash Flow hedging strategy that converted forecasted long-term discount note 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.  Cash Flow hedging strategies are also discussed under the heading Impact of Cash flow hedging on earnings and AOCI in this MD&A.

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

(a)Interest rate swaps hedging consolidated obligation debt resulted in net favorable cash flow accruals of $44.8 million and $145.4 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared with $55.1 million and $160.8 million in the same periods in the prior year.  A fair value hedge of debt is accomplished by the execution of an interest rate swap with a receive fixed-rate leg and a pay LIBOR-indexed variable rate leg.  In that hedge strategy, the combination of the swap and the debt results in a synthetic conversion of the fixed-rate funding cost to LIBOR indexed variable expense.  As a result of the fair value hedging strategy, the net cash flows for the FHLBNY have been generally positive in the periods in this report, reducing the cost of funding to a LIBOR basis.  If in future periods, LIBOR rises to levels above the fixed-rate contracts, the net cash flows between the swap counterparty and the FHLBNY would become unfavorable.

The level of the prevailing LIBOR index has a direct impact on cash flows exchanged in a swap of our consolidated obligation bonds and notes - The increase in the 3-month LIBOR index in 2015, relative to the prior year resulted in higher amounts of cash payments made to swap counterparties, and was a primary factor in the declining cash in-flows from swaps hedging debt.  The average 3-month LIBOR was 23.4 basis points in the 2014 periods; in the 2015 third quarter, the average was 31.4 basis points, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the average was 28.5 basis points.

Allowance for Credit Losses — 2015 third quarter compared to 2014 third quarter, and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014.

·Mortgage loans held-for-portfolio — Provision for credit allowances have been insignificant in all periods in this report.  For more information, see Note 8. Mortgage Loans held for portfolio. With the adoption of guidelines from the FHFA on January 1, 2015, we charged off $3.7 million of previously recorded credit allowance on loans that were delinquent for 180-days or greater.  The charge-off reduced the credit loss allowance in the Statements of condition with an offset to the carrying amounts of impaired loans also in the Statements of condition.  The charge off did not impact the provision for credit losses.

We evaluate impaired conventional mortgage loans on an individual (loan-by-loan) basis, and compare the fair values of collateral (net of liquidation costs) to recorded investment values in order to calculate/measure credit losses on impaired loans.  Loans are considered impaired when they are delinquent for 90 days or more, and loan loss allowances are computed at that point.  We perform a “loss emergence analysis” to track the movement of loans through the various stages of delinquency in order to estimate the percentage of losses likely to be incurred in the current portfolio.  The low amounts of provisions for credit allowances are consistent with the handful of loans that have experienced foreclosures or losses.  Additionally, collateral values of impaired loans have continued to remain steady and have improved in the New York and New Jersey sectors, and the low loan loss reserves were 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 — Based on the collateral held as security and prior repayment history, no allowance for losses was currently deemed necessary.  Our credit risk from advances 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 for advances.

Analysis of Non-Interest Income (Loss) — 2015 third quarter compared to 2014 third quarter, and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The principal components of non-interest income (loss) are summarized below (in thousands):

Total other income	$	8,259		$	2,813		$	17,046		$	5,655

(a)Service fees and other — Service fees are derived primarily from providing correspondent banking services to members and fees earned on standby financial letters of credit.  Revenues are up slightly period-over-period primarily due to increase in revenues from Safekeeping.  Fees earned from commitments and financial letters of credit were flat period-over-period.  Earnings from the grantor trust were higher in the 2015 periods.  Issuance expenses of debt elected under the FVO were a little lower.

(b)Instruments held at fair value under the Fair Value Option — Changes in fair values of consolidated obligation debt (bonds and discount notes) and Advances elected under the FVO reported net fair value losses of $1.0 million and $6.9 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to net gains of $1.4 million and $3.9 million in the same periods in the prior year.  Fluctuations in fair values are impacted by changes in the notional amounts of debt and advances elected under the FVO, the remaining duration to maturity, changes in the term structure of the pricing curve, and the unpaid accrued interest payable/receivable on the instruments at the measurement dates.

FVO advances — In the 2015 third quarter, unfavorable changes in fair values in the quarter resulted in a net loss of $4.0 million.  Vintage FVO advances were nearing their maturities and previously recorded unrealized fair value gains were losing time value.  In the 2014 third quarter, a gain of $4.8 million was recorded.  On a year-to-date basis at September 30, 2015, unfavorable changes in fair values in the nine months resulted in fair value losses of $0.7 million, primarily due to member initiated prepayment of advances that had been in unrealized gain positions and had been elected under the FVO.  In the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2014, net fair value gains were $7.4 million.

Notional amounts of Advances elected under the FVO were $6.9 billion at September 30, 2015, $20.2 billion at September 30, 2014 and $15.7 billion at December 31, 2014.  FVO advances were primarily ARC advances, which are adjustable rate indexed to LIBOR.

Fluctuations in recorded fair value gains and losses were also consistent with the short maturities of advances elected under the FVO. Absent fluctuations in volume of FVO advances, changes in the fair values of FVO Advances have not been significant as the adjustable rate advances re-price quarterly to the prevailing LIBOR, and fair values remain close to par.  Changes to the pricing curve have not been a significant factor as the advance pricing curve has remained well correlated to LIBOR, the index for the ARC coupon.

FVO Bonds — In the 2015 third quarter, favorable changes in fair values resulted in a net gain of $1.2 million, compared to a net loss

71

of $2.0 million in the same period in 2014.  On a year-to-date basis at September 30, unfavorable changes in fair values resulted in a net loss of $3.2 million in the 2015 period, compared to a net loss of $2.7 million in the prior year period.  Notional amounts of bonds elected under the FVO were $13.5 billion at September 30, 2015, $21.1 billion at September 30, 2014 and $19.5 billion at December 31, 2014.  Fluctuations in fair values have generally reflected the reversal of previously recognized unrealized gains and losses as the bonds approached maturity (time value changes).  Shifts in the CO pricing curve have generally not been significant in the short-end of the curve at the balance sheet dates, as the FVO bonds were fixed-rate with original maturities that were generally two years or less.  As bonds matured in a period, previously recorded unrealized gains and losses reversed to zero in a subsequent period.

FVO Discount notes — Favorable changes in fair values of FVO discount notes in the 2015 third quarter resulted in a net gain of $1.8 million.  In contrast, changes in pricing were unfavorable in the 2014 third quarter, resulting in fair value losses of $1.4 million.  On a year-to-date basis at September 30, pricing changes were unfavorable in the nine months in 2015 and 2014 that resulted in a net loss of $3.0 million in the 2015 period and a net loss of $0.9 in the 2014 period.  Notional amounts of discount notes elected under the FVO were $9.9 billion at September 30, 2015, $6.9 billion at September 30, 2014 and $7.9 billion at December 31, 2014.  Shifts in the CO pricing curve have generally not been significant in the short-end of the curve at the balance sheet dates.  Typically, changes in the fair values of FVO discount notes have not been significant as the notes mature within a year of issuance, or shorter.  Inter-period fluctuations in fair value are likely to occur when discount notes mature in a period and previously recorded unrealized gains and losses reverse to zero in a subsequent period.

For more information, see financial statements, FVO disclosures in Note 16. Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

(c)Net impairment losses recognized in earnings on held-to-maturity securities — Our cash flow analyses in the 2015 third quarter identified very modest deterioration in the performance parameters of one previously impaired private-label MBS.  Credit OTTI charged to earnings was $29.0 thousand.  In the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2015, credit OTTI was $90.0 thousand.  No OTTI was recorded in the prior year periods.

(d)Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities — See Table 1.13 and accompanying discussions for more information.

(e)Earnings Impact of Debt extinguishment — No debt was extinguished in the third quarter of 2015 and 2014.  Par amount $80.0 million of CO bonds were transferred in the 2015 year-to-date period at a realized loss of $7.8 million.  Expense charged to earnings in the year-to-date period in the prior year was $0.4 million.  See Table 1.12 below for discussions and analysis.

The following tables summarize debt retirement and transfer activities (in thousands):

(a)We retire or buy back 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.  There were no debt transfers or extinguishments in the three months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014.

Earnings Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities — 2015 third quarter compared to 2014 third quarter, and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014.

We may designate a derivative as either a hedge of (1) the fair value changes of a recognized fixed-rate asset (Advance) or liability (Consolidated obligation debt), or an unrecognized firm commitment; (2) a forecasted transaction; or (3) the variability of future cash flows of a floating-rate asset or liability (Cash flow hedge).  We may also designate a derivative as an economic hedge, which does not qualify for hedge accounting under the accounting standards.

Derivative fair values are driven largely by the rise and fall of the forward swap curve, which determines forward cash flows, and by changes in the OIS curve, which is the discounting basis.  Hedged advances and debt fair values are also driven largely by the rise and fall of the LIBOR curve, which is the discounting basis of hedged advances and bonds in a fair value hedge.  Other market factors include interest rate spreads and interest rate volatility.  The volume of derivatives and their duration to maturity are factors that are also key drivers of changes in fair values.

For derivatives that are not designated in a hedging relationship (i.e. in an economic hedge), the derivatives are considered as a “standalone” instrument and fair value changes are recorded as net unrealized gains or losses, without the offset of a hedged item.  Net interest accruals on such “standalone” derivative instruments in economic hedges may also have a significant impact on reported impact of derivatives gains and losses.

Generally for the FHLBNY, derivative and 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).  Typically, the largest source of gains or losses from derivative and hedging activities arise from derivatives designated as standalone derivatives.  For the FHLBNY, standalone derivatives have typically 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 other than the 3-month LIBOR.  For both categories, derivatives that are standalone, and derivatives and hedged items that qualify under hedge accounting rules, fair value gains and losses are unrealized and sum to zero if held to maturity.  Interest accruals on standalone derivatives, and are considered as hedging gains or losses on standalone hedges, are realized at the periodic accrual settlement dates. For more information about qualifying Fair Value and Cash Flow hedges of advances and debt, see Derivative Hedging Strategies in Tables 9.1 — 9.3.

(a)Yield adjustments — The impact of amortization/accretion and interest accruals on hedging activities — Amortization/accretion and interest accruals are recorded in Interest income or Interest expense and have a significant impact on net yield and on Net interest income as a result of hedging activities.

Previously recorded hedge valuation basis on advances and debt that are no longer in a hedging relationship are amortized/accreted and recorded in the Statements of income in the same interest income or expense line as the hedged items as a yield adjustment.  Interest

73

accrual on swaps in a qualifying hedge relationship is also recorded in the Statements of income as an Interest income or Interest expense as a yield adjustment.

In the 2015 third quarter and year-to-date period ended September 30, $189.9 million and $560.9 million of swap interest expense accruals, net of swap interest income accruals, were recorded in Net interest income in the Statements of income.  The accruals represented interest accruals paid or received from swap counterparties in the swap interest rate exchanges hedging Advances and Consolidated obligation debt.  In the same periods in 2014, $195.1 million and $592.4 million of swap interest expense, net, were recorded as in Net Interest income.  While the impact on periodic earnings was unfavorable, the execution of the hedges achieved our interest rate risk management strategy, which was to mitigate the risk arising from fixed-rate cash flows resulting from fixed-rate advances borrowed by our members and the issuances of fixed-rate debt to finance our lending activities.  We have executed interest rate swaps to modify the effective interest rate terms of many of our fixed-rate advance products and almost all fixed-rate putable advances, and certain fixed-rate consolidated obligation bonds to variable-rate LIBOR exposure.  In certain instances we have converted the variability of forecasted cash flows to fixed-rate cash flows by the execution of cash flow hedges of future issuances of discount notes, converting floating-rate interest expense to long-term fixed-rate expense.

Additional information is provided in this MD&A in Table 1.3 Net Interest Adjustments from Hedge Qualifying Interest-Rate Swaps.

(b)Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities recorded in Other income— The primary components were (a) fair value changes of derivatives in qualifying fair value hedges offset by fair value changes of hedged items, and the ineffective portion of fair value changes of derivative in cash flow hedging relationships, and (b) fair value changes of standalone derivatives that were in economic hedges, and the net interest accruals on the standalone swaps; standalone swaps were primarily those designated in economic hedges of advances and debt elected under the FVO.  Standalone derivatives are marked to their fair values and changes in fair values are recorded as an impact due to derivative and hedging activities.  For a qualifying hedge, the impact is the fair value hedge ineffectiveness, the difference between the fair values of derivatives and hedged items.

In the 2015 third quarter and year-to-date period, Derivatives and hedging activities reported net gains of $6.7 million and $24.1 million, compared to net losses of $0.6 million and $4.4 million in the same periods in 2014.

Primary drivers are discussed below:

Qualifying hedging

·Fair value gains and losses on Fair value hedges — In the 2015 third quarter hedge ineffectiveness was a net fair value loss of $2.7 million.  Ineffectiveness from hedging Advances reported a net loss of $3.7 million; ineffectiveness from hedging CO bonds reported a gain of $1.0 million.  Hedge ineffectiveness was a net fair value gain of $2.2 million in the prior year third quarter, hedges of Advances reported a gain of $0.5 million, and CO bonds, a net gain of $1.7 million.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, hedge ineffectiveness was a net gain of $1.4 million; hedges of Advances reported a net loss of $1.2 million, and hedges of CO bonds reported a net gain of $2.6 million.  In the 2014 year-to-date period, hedging ineffectiveness was a net gain of $5.2 million.  Hedges of Advances reported a net gain of $1.4 million and hedges of CO bonds reported a net gain of $3.8 million.  We do not consider reported hedge ineffectiveness to be significant relative to the notional amounts of derivative transactions outstanding that were in excess of $100.0 billion at each period in this report.

·Fair value gains and losses on Cash flow hedges — We have two primary cash flow hedging strategies; a rollover cash flow hedging the variability of long-term issuances of discount notes, and second, the hedging of anticipated issuances of debt.  No ineffectiveness have been observed or recorded in the rollover strategy.   In the 2015 third quarter and year-to-date periods, ineffectiveness from hedging anticipated issuances of debt resulted in insignificant amounts of ineffectiveness of $0 and $0.3 million (loss), and fair value gains of $0 and $0.1 million in the same periods in 2014.

Standalone derivative:

Standalone derivatives are marked to their fair values without the offsetting benefit of the fair value changes of the advances and debt that are economically hedged.  The FHLBNY does not engage in derivatives for purposes other than for a hedge strategy. Derivatives in economic hedges were primarily interest rate swaps hedging advances and debt elected under the FVO, and interest rate caps hedging capped variable rate available-for-sale securities.  Fair values from standalone derivatives are recorded in Other income as gains or losses from derivatives and hedging activities.  By policy election, interest accruals on standalone swaps are also recorded as gains or losses from derivatives and hedging activities, while interest accruals on qualifying hedges are recorded in interest income or expense together with the hedged financial instrument.

Fair value changes and interest accruals together reported a net gain of $9.4 million in the 2015 third quarter, compared to a net loss of $2.8 million in the prior year period.  In the year-to-date period ended September 30, a net gain of $23.0 million was reported in the current year period, compared to a net loss of $9.6 million in the prior year period.

·Interest accruals on standalone derivatives — In the 2015 third quarter and year-to-date period, interest accruals recorded in Other income from standalone derivatives contributed gains of $7.4 million and $18.9 million, compared to gains of $4.0 million and $10.8 million in the same periods in 2014.  Interest accruals on the swaps were a net gain as the receive fixed-rate cash flows exceeded the pay variable-rate cash flows in the prevailing interest rate environment.

·Fair value gains and losses on standalone derivatives — The primary source of gains and losses have been fair value changes of interest rate caps, which have been designated as standalone derivatives in economic hedges of floating-rate MBS that were pre-structured such that their coupons would be capped at a pre-determined strike, typically between 6%-7%.  Interest rate caps reported fair value gains of $0.4 million and losses of $1.7 million in the 2015 third quarter and year-to-date period, compared to fair value losses of $4.3 million and $18.2 million in the same periods in 2014.  In the prior year periods in a declining interest rate environment, purchased caps were losing value.  In the current year periods, the forward yield curve has steepened and cap values have stabilized.

Another source of gains and losses has been valuation changes on interest rate swaps designated in economic hedges of debt elected under the FVO.  These standalone swaps reported net gains of $1.7 million and $5.8 million in the 2015 third quarter and year-to-date period, compared to net losses of $2.0 million and $1.8 million in the same periods in 2014.  Fluctuations in the fair values of swaps in economic hedges of FVO instruments have been relatively insignificant due to the relative short duration of the swaps, which were intermediate term, generally with maturities of less than two years.  As the swaps approached their maturity, gains and losses reversed so that at maturity, their values were zero.  Inter-period valuation fluctuations are generally due to fair value gains and losses in one period that are followed by reversals in subsequent periods as swaps approached maturity.

Impact of Cash flow hedging on earnings and AOCI — 2015 third quarter compared to 2014 third quarter, and nine months ended September30, 2015 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Derivative gains and losses reclassified from AOCI to current period income — The following table summarizes changes in derivative gains and (losses), including reclassifications into earnings from AOCI in the Statements of Condition (in thousands):

(a)Net hedging transactions primarily represented changes in fair values of swaps in the discount note cash flow hedging program.

(b)End of period balances were primarily the effective portion of cumulative fair value losses in the discount note cash flow hedging programs.

The two primary Cash Flow hedging strategies 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 in order to lock in a spread between the earning asset and the cost of funding.  The swaps are a pay fixed-rate, receive LIBOR indexed structure.  Open swap contracts are valued at the end of each reporting period and recorded in the balance sheet as a derivative asset or a liability, with an offset to AOCI.  The effective portion of changes in the fair values of the swaps is recorded in AOCI, and ineffectiveness, if any, is recorded through earnings.  In this program, the swap is typically terminated upon issuance of the debt instrument.  The termination fair value is recorded in AOCI and reclassified to earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows of the debt that was issued.  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.

Swap contracts notional amounts of $44.0 million were open under this program at September 30, 2015, recorded in the balance sheet at an unrealized fair value loss of $1.0 million.  At December 31, 2014, open swap contracts were $77.6 million in notional amounts at an unrealized fair value loss of $0.2 million.

The unamortized balances from previously closed contracts in AOCI were (unrecognized) fair value losses of $6.8 million at September 30, 2015 and $5.9 million at December 31, 2014.  Those amounts represented the unamortized fair value basis of closed Cash flow hedges that had hedged anticipatory issuances of debt.  The amount reclassified as an interest expense was $0.5 million in the 2015 third quarter and $1.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $0.7 million and $2.2 million in the same periods in 2014.  Over the next 12 months, it is expected that $2.0 million of net losses recorded in AOCI will be recognized as an interest expense.

Hedges of discount note issuances — Net unrealized fair values from the rollover Cash flow hedge strategies recorded as a derivative asset or a liability in the balance sheet with an offset to AOCI was a cumulative losses of $110.3 million at September 30, 2015, and $80.8 million at December 31, 2014.  The cumulative losses represented fair values of interest rate swaps designated in Cash flow strategies to hedge long-term issuances of consolidated obligation discount notes in the discount note rollover program.  Long-term swaps, $1.5 billion in notional amounts at September 30, 2015, and $1.3 billion at December 31, 2014, were in pay fixed-rate; receive floating-rate interest rate swap exchange contracts.  Fair values will move inversely with the rise and fall of long-term swap rates, and fluctuation in long-term swap rates will determine future changes in such balances in AOCI.  We expect the long-term hedge programs to remain in place to the contractual maturities of the interest rate swaps.  Cumulative fair value losses will sum to zero over contractual terms to maturity.

The “Net hedging transactions” reported in Table 1.14 above primarily represent changes in fair values of swap contracts in the discount note hedging program.  At September 30, 2015, long-term swap rates were higher relative to those at the beginning of the third quarter and also at the beginning of year-to-date period ending September 30, 2015.  Unfavorable changes in fair values of the swap contracts in the 2015 third quarter reported additional net losses of $39.3 million in the quarter.  Changes in fair values in the year-to-date period reported a cumulative net loss of $29.5 million.  At September 30, 2014, long-term swap rates were a little higher relative to those at the beginning of the 2014 third and a net gain of $9.0 million was recorded in the 2014 third quarter.  For the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, changes in fair values over the period resulted in a net loss of $31.8 million.

The program is designed to eliminate the variability of cash flows attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate (3-month LIBOR) and to create long term fixed-rate funding.  In the prevailing interest rate environment, the higher fixed-rate (compared to 3-month LIBOR) resulted in additional interest expenses of $9.2 million in the 2015 third quarter and $8.9 million in the prior year period.  On a year-to-date period at September 30, additional interest expense was $26.5 million in the 2015 period, compared to $26.3 million in the prior year period.

(a)Operating expenses included the administrative and overhead costs of operating the Bank, as well as the operating costs of providing advances and managing collateral associated with the advances, managing the investment portfolios, and providing correspondent banking services to members.  Occupancy expenses have remained flat period-over-period.  Depreciation and amortization charges have increased due to depreciation charge-offs at asset retirements.

(b)All others — included temporary workers, computer service agreements, contractual services, professional and legal fees, audit fees, director fees and expenses, insurance and telecommunications.

(c)Employee compensation increased somewhat due to normal inflation and additions.

(d)Employee benefits were a little lower in the 2015 third quarter compared to the prior year period due to lower employee medical expenses that offset higher pension expenses.  On a year-to-date basis at September 30, expenses were higher in the 2015 period primarily due to higher pension expenses:

The expense for the Defined Benefit Plan was higher due to higher accruals, with the intent to maintain plan funding at a reasonable economic level so as to prevent a funding shortfall at the sunset of the pension relief amendments under MAP-21 and its successor provisions under HATFA.  In the first six months of the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2014, pension expenses were based on the relief measures.

Actuarially determined pension expense for the unfunded supplemental Benefit Equalization Plan (“BEP”) was higher in the 2015 periods primarily due to the decline in the assumed discount rate, which is a key parameter to measure pension liabilities, and due to the adoption of new mortality tables.  The BEP is not eligible for relief under MAP-21 and HATFA as the plan is non-qualified plan.

The net periodic Postretirement Health Benefit Plan cost was $38.5 thousand in the 2015 third quarter, compared to a credit of $6.3 thousand in the same period last year.  The plan was amended late in the 2014 first quarter, restricting new participants.  In the year-to-date period ended September 30, plan expenses were $115.6 thousand in the 2015 period, compared to $0.5 million in the prior year period.

Employee medical insurance charges were a little lower in the 2015 third quarter primarily due to amendments to the employee medical plan effective January 1, 2015.

For more information about pension expenses, see financial statements, Note 14. Employee Retirement Plans in the most recent Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

(e)We are also assessed for our share of the operating expenses for the Finance Agency and the Office of Finance.  The FHLBanks and two other GSEs share the entire cost of the Finance Agency.  Expenses are allocated by the Finance Agency and the Office of Finance. Expenses.

Balance Sheet overview September 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014

Total assets declined to $122.9 billion at September 30, 2015 from $132.8 billion at December 31, 2014, a period decrease of $9.9 billion, or 7.4%.  Advances to members declined to $90.7 billion from $98.8 billion at December 31, 2014, a period decrease of $8.1 billion, or 8.2%.  Cash balances, primarily at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”) and at Citibank N.A, a safekeeping custodian for the FHLBNY, in total was $1.0 billion at September 30, 2015, compared to $6.5 billion at December 31, 2014.  Balances at September 30, 2015 included $245.0 million at Citibank that was maintained as a compensating balance in lieu of fees for certain outsourced processes.  Decline in overall cash balances at September 30, 2015, compared to December 31, 2014 is in line with higher opportunity cost, and excess liquidity is being invested in overnight investments rather than as cash at the FRBNY.

Overnight investments, federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell, were $12.9 billion at September 30, 2015, compared to $10.8 billion at December 31, 2014.  Term federal funds sold balance was $800.0 million at September 30, 2015.  In the past several years, opportunities for investing in short-term assets and meeting our risk/reward preferences have been limited, with a tradeoff between maintaining liquidity at the FRBNY or

77

investing at the then prevailing low overnight rates at financial institutions.  Market yields for overnight investments have improved in 2015.  Additionally, with the success of the tri-party repo infrastructure reform efforts, the FHLBNY has utilized the Bank of New York (“BONY”) as the tri-party custodian bank that provides a streamlined process for exchanging cash for collateral by the BONY.  In the first quarter of the current year, we became eligible to engage in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s reverse repurchase transactions (“RRP”).  At September 30, 2015, overnight investments in the securities purchased under agreements to resell included $7.8 billion in the RRP program and the remaining balances in bilateral and tri-party repurchase agreements with counterparties.  With these processes in place at the FHLBNY, we are better positioned to manage the FHLBNY’s liquidity practices, from a risk/reward perspective, and earn higher income from investing excess liquidity.

Advances — Decrease in advances was largely concentrated in ARC advances, due to prepayments and maturing advances in the first quarter of 2015.  Since then prepayments have not been significant, and in the aggregate maturing advances were replaced by new borrowings.  The portfolio of Advances has remained largely unchanged in the last two quarters of 2015.

Long-term investment securities — Long-term investment securities are designated as available-for-sale (“AFS”) or held-to-maturity (“HTM”).  The heavy concentration of GSE and Agency issued (“GSE-issued”) securities and a declining balance of private-label MBS is our investment profile.

Long-term investments in the AFS portfolio at September 30, 2015 were floating-rate GSE-issued mortgage-backed securities carried at fair values of $1.0 billion ($1.2 billion at December 31, 2014).  Long-term investments in the HTM portfolio at September 30, 2015 were fixed- and floating-rate mortgage-backed securities, predominantly GSE-issued; carrying values (amortized cost adjusted for credit and non-credit OTTI ) were $12.8 billion at September 30, 2015, and $12.3 billion at December 31, 2014; private-label issued MBS were 2.3% of the portfolio of mortgage-backed securities.  Cash flow testing and evaluation of our investment securities identified one private-label MBS that was re-impaired in the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2015 and $90.0 thousand was charged to earnings as credit-OTTI on the security; non-credit loss recorded in AOCI was $227.0 thousand in the same period.

Investments in housing finance agency bonds, primarily those in New York and New Jersey, classified as HTM, were carried at amortized cost basis of $833.6 million at September 30, 2015 ($813.1 million at December 31, 2014).

The FHLBNY owns a grantor trust that invests in highly-liquid registered mutual funds, classified as AFS, and funds were carried at fair values of $28.4 million at September 30, 2015 ($17.9 million at December 31, 2014).  We invested $12.6 million in the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2015.

Mortgage loans held-for-portfolio — Mortgage loans were investments in Mortgage Partnership Finance loans (“MPF” or “MPF Program”).  Par amounts of loans under this program stood at $2.4 billion at September 30, 2015, up from $2.1 billion at December 31, 2014.  Loans are primarily fixed-rate, single-family mortgages acquired through the MPF Program.  Pay downs in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 have increased to $201.6 million compared to $135.1 million in the same period in 2014.  Acquisitions were $541.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $250.2 million in the same period in 2014.  Credit performance has been strong and delinquency low.  Historical loss experience remains very low.  Residential collateral values have remained stable in the New York and New Jersey sectors, the primary geographic concentration for our MPF portfolio.

Stress test results — Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the FHFA, regulator of the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks), has adopted supervisory stress tests for the FHLBanks.  The FHFA requires the annual stress testing for the FHLBanks based on the FHFA’s scenarios, summary instructions and guidance.  The tests are designed to determine whether the FHLBanks have the capital to absorb losses as a result of adverse economic conditions.  The FHFA rules require that the FHLBanks take the results of the annual stress test into account in making any changes, as appropriate, to its capital structure (including the level and composition of capital); its exposure, concentration, and risk positions; any plans for recovery and resolution; and to improve overall risk management.  Consultation with FHFA supervisory staff is expected in making such improvements.  In accordance with these rules, the FHLBNY executed its second annual stress test, and publicly disclosed the stress test results on July 23, 2015 by posting on its Website (www.fhlbny.com).

The results of the severely adverse scenario stress test demonstrated capital adequacy under the FHFA’s severely adverse economic conditions.

Capital ratios — Our capital position remains strong.  At September 30, 2015, actual risk-based capital was $6.5 billion, compared to required risk-based capital of $0.6 billion.  To support $122.9 billion of total assets at September 30, 2015, the required minimum regulatory risk-based capital was $4.9 billion or 4.0% of assets.  Our actual regulatory risk-based capital was $6.5 billion, exceeding required capital by $1.6 billion.  These ratios have remained consistently above the required regulatory ratios through all periods in this report.  For more information, see financial statements, Note 12.  Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings.

Leverage — At September 30, 2015, balance sheet leverage (based on GAAP) was 19.6 times shareholders’ equity, compared to 20.4 times at December 31, 2014.  Balance sheet leverage has generally remained steady over the last several years, although from time to time we have maintained excess liquidity in highly liquid investments, or cash balances at the FRBNY 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.  Members are required to purchase activity-based

78

capital stock to support their borrowings from us, and when activity-based 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.

Liquidity and Debt — At September 30, 2015, liquid assets included $768.6 million as demand cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, $245.0 million compensating cash balances at Citibank that could be withdrawn at short notice, $12.9 billion in overnight loans in the federal funds and the repo markets, and $1.0 billion of high credit quality GSE-issued available-for-sale securities that are investment quality, and readily marketable.  Our liquidity position remains strong, and in compliance with all regulatory requirements, and we do not foresee any changes to that position.

The primary source of our funds is the issuance of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes to the public.  Our GSE status enables the FHLBanks to raise funds at rates that are typically at a small to moderate spread above U.S. Treasury security yields.  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 in the recent past and the 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.

Among other liquidity measures, the Finance Agency requires FHLBanks 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 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 advances.  We remain in compliance with regulations under both scenarios.

We also hold Contingency Liquidity in an amount sufficient to meet our liquidity needs if we are unable to access the consolidated obligation debt market for at least 5 days.  The actual Contingency Liquidity under the 5-day scenario in the 2015 third quarter was $27.3 billion, well in excess of the required $2.4 billion.

We also have other liquidity measures in place, Deposit Liquidity and Operational Liquidity, and those liquidity buffers remain 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 in this MD&A.

Advances — Decrease in amounts outstanding at September 30, 2015 has been largely due to prepayments.  Demand has also been weak for new advances.

Table 3.2:Advance Trends

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.

79

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.  If maturing advances are not replaced, it will have an impact on business volume.

Carrying values of Advances outstanding at September 30, 2015 declined to $90.7 billion, down from $98.8 billion at December 31, 2014.  Those balances included unrealized net fair value hedging basis adjustments.  For advances hedged under a qualifying hedging rule, fair value gains of $1.6 billion were recorded at the two balance sheet dates, and were computed based on changes in the benchmark rate, which is LIBOR for the FHLBNY.  For advances elected under the fair value option (“FVO”), valuations were the entire fair values of advances; net gains of $0.7 million and $5.4 million were recorded at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  Par amounts of advances outstanding were $89.1 billion at September 30, 2015 and $97.2 billion at December 31, 2014.

Adjustable Rate Advances (“ARC Advances”) — Outstanding balances are concentrated with some of our largest members.  Decrease in ARC Advances was largely due to prepayments by one member totaling $6.8 billion in the first quarter of the current year.  Additionally, $8.3 billion was allowed to mature by the member and was not replaced during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  The member has $14.3 billion outstanding at September 30, 2014, down from $28.0 billion at December 31, 2014.  Advances to the member have remaining maturities all beyond 2015, and primarily within the next two years.  New ARC advances borrowed by other members totaled $6.1 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

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.  The ARC interest rate is set and reset (depending upon the maturity of the advance and the type of index) at a spread to LIBOR.  Principal is due at maturity and interest payments are due at each reset date, including the final payment date.  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 LIBOR index) at a spread to LIBOR.  Principal is due at maturity and interest payments are due at each reset date, including the final payment date.  Additionally, some members elect to use ARC advances as part of a cash flow hedge strategy, where they will synthetically convert the floating-rate borrowing to fixed-rate with the use of interest rate swaps.

Fixed-rate Advances — Medium and long-term fixed-rate advances, comprising putable and non-putable advances, remain the largest category of advances.  Fixed-rate advances are offered in maturities of one year or longer.  Member demand for fixed-rate advances has remained steady through the three quarters of 2015.  Outstanding balances have also remained steady through the quarters in the current year, with maturing advances being replaced by new borrowings.  We believe that members still 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.

A significant composition of Fixed-rate advances consists of advances with a “put” option feature (“putable advance”).  Balances stood at $13.5 billion at September 30, 2015, compared to $14.0 billion at December 31, 2014.  Historically, Fixed-rate putable advances have been more competitively priced relative to fixed-rate “bullet” advances (without put option) because the “put” feature (that we have purchased from the member) reduces the coupon on the advance.  The price advantage of a putable advance increases with the number 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

80

the put feature) or modified to a fixed-rate non-putable advance.  As a result, outstanding balances of putable advances have declined steadily over the years.

Short-term Advances — Member demand for short-term fixed-rate advances had weakened in the first quarter of 2015, and outstanding balances have remained steady, ending at $8.5 billion at September 30, 2015, compared to $10.0 billion at December 31, 2014.  Short term advances are fixed-rate advances with original maturities of one year or less.

Overnight Advances — Overnight Advance balances were $3.1 billion at September 30, 2015 and $3.7 billion at December 31, 2014.  Balances have fluctuated during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and fluctuations in demand reflect 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.  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.

Collateral Security

Our member borrowers are required to maintain an amount of eligible collateral that adequately secures their outstanding obligations with the FHLBNY.  Eligible collateral includes: (1) one-to-four-family and multi-family mortgages; (2) Treasury and U.S. government agency securities; (3) mortgage-backed securities; and (4) certain other collateral that is real estate-related, provided that such collateral has a readily ascertainable value and the Bank can perfect a security interest in that collateral.  We also have a statutory lien priority with respect to certain member assets under the FHLBank Act as well as a claim on FHLBNY capital stock held by our members.

We have loan and collateral agreements that give us a security interest in assets held by borrowers that is sufficient to cover member obligations to the FHLBNY.  In order to ensure that we have sufficient collateral to cover credit extensions, we have established a Collateral Lendable Value methodology.  This methodology determines the lendable value or amount of borrowing capacity assigned to each specific type of collateral.  For more information about our practices with respect to collateral, see the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

Advances — Interest Rate Terms

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

Total	$	90,745,439			$	98,797,497

(a)Fixed-rate borrowings remained the largest category of advances borrowed by members.  Demand for new long-term fixed rate advances improved after a weak start in the first quarter of 2015, and since then outstanding balances have remained relatively unchanged.  Still, longer-term advances remain a small segment of the portfolio at September 30, 2015, with only 10.0% of advances in the remaining maturity bucket of greater than 5 years (9.6% at December 31, 2014).

(b)In the prior year, adjustable-rate LIBOR-based advances had increased primarily due to one member’s borrowings.  ARC Advance prepayments in the first quarter of 2015 had driven down balances.  Maturing advances were also not rolled over at maturity, although new borrowings by another large member partly replaced the ARC advance outflow.  The FHLBNY’s larger members are generally borrowers of variable-rate advances.  The smaller members have typically remained on the side-lines in a weak economy and have not increased their borrowings despite the low short-term rates; it would appear that they have sufficient liquidity in the form of customer deposits.

(c)Capped ARCs were not in demand in a declining interest rate environment, as members were unwilling to 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.

Fair value basis and valuation adjustments — The carrying values of advances include valuation basis adjustments.  Key determinants are factors such as volume, the forward swap curve, the volatility of the swap rates, the remaining duration to maturity, and for advances elected under the FVO, the changes in the spread between the swap rate and the consolidated obligation debt yields, and changes in interest receivable, which is a component of the entire fair value of FVO advances.

(a)Hedging valuation adjustments — The reported carrying value of hedged advances is adjusted for changes in their fair value (fair value basis adjustments or fair value) that are attributable to the risk being hedged, which is LIBOR for the FHLBNY, and is the discounting basis for computing changes in fair values for hedges of advances.  The application of this accounting methodology resulted in the recognition of unrealized hedge valuation gains at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (See Table 4.3 above, and Table 4.4 below).  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 will decline or rise.  The hedged advances had been issued in prior years at the then-prevailing higher interest rate environment, and recorded fair value gains were consistent with the lower yield curves at the balance sheet dates.  Unrealized gains from fair value basis adjustments on hedged advances were almost entirely offset by net fair value unrealized losses on the derivatives hedging the advances, thereby achieving our hedging objectives of mitigating fair value basis risk.  For more information, see Table 1.13:  Earnings Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Hedging valuation basis adjustments at September 30, 2015 were gains of $1.6 billion, an increase of $25.8 million compared to December 31, 2014; notional amounts of hedged advances were $47.4 billion at September 30, 2015, up from $44.0 billion at December 31, 2014.  Valuations of intermediate term advances have exhibited fair value gains, while longer-term advances have exhibited fair value losses.  Gains and losses have offset largely, resulting in a relatively small increase in fair values between the balance sheet dates. The swap curve flattened at September 30, 2015, relative to December 31, 2014.  Short term rates were higher and medium and long term rates were lower at September 30, 2015, compared to December 31, 2014, with the inflection point around the 2-year point.  The duration of the book of hedged advances is distributed with about 45% of advances maturing within 2017, so that on balance the valuation changes remained relatively flat period-over-period.

(b)FVO fair values — Carrying values of advances elected under the FVO include valuation adjustments to recognize their entire fair values.  The discounting basis for computing fair values of FVO advances is the Advance pricing curve, which is primarily derived from the FHLBNY’s cost of funds (yields paid on consolidated obligation debt).  Fair value basis of a FVO advance reflect changes in the term structure and shape of the Advance pricing curve at the measurement dates, and includes accrued interest receivable.

Valuation adjustments have not been significant relative to the par amounts of the FVO advance, as advances elected under the FVO were variable rate, LIBOR indexed advances, which re-priced frequently to market indices and valuation basis remained near to par.  Fair values have declined period-over-period in parallel with the decline in par amounts of FVO advances, which declined to $6.9 billion at September 30, 2015, compared to $15.7 billion at December 31, 2014, primarily due to borrower initiated prepayments.  We have elected the FVO on an instrument-by-instrument basis for certain adjustable rate and fixed-rate advances.  With respect to credit risk, we have concluded that it was not necessary to estimate changes attributable to instrument-specific credit risk as we consider our advances to remain fully collateralized through to maturity.  For more information, see financial statements, Fair Value Disclosures in Note 16.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

Hedge volume — We primarily hedge putable advances and certain “bullet” fixed-rate advances under the hedge 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)	$	1,599,825	$	1,574,044

(a)  Generally, non-callable fixed-rate medium and longer term advances are hedged to mitigate the risk in fixed-rate lending.

(b)  Putable advances are hedged by cancellable swaps, and the paired long put and short call options mitigate the put/call option risks; additionally, fixed-rate is synthetically converted to LIBOR, mitigating the risk in fixed-rate lending for the FHLBNY.  In a rising rate environment, swap dealers would likely exercise their call option, and the FHLBNY will exercise its put option with the member and both instruments terminate at par.  Members may borrow new advances at the then prevailing rate.  Outstanding balances have been declining over the recent years as member demand has remained weak.

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

Advances elected under the FVO — In the prior year, significant amounts of LIBOR-indexed advances had been borrowed, and election was made to account for them under the FVO.  By electing the FVO for an asset instrument (the advance), the objective is 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. At September 30, 2015, the advance portfolio includes $13.5 billion of fixed-rate putable advances that contain one or more call option exercisable by the FHLBNY to terminate advances at par on 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 on 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 asset/liability hedge strategy.

(b)

Callable advances were $5.0 million at September 30, 2015, compared to $15.0 million at December 31, 2014. With a callable advance, borrowers have purchased the option to terminate advances at par at predetermined dates.

83

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

Putable/callable	$	13,465,912	$	13,973,412
No-longer putable/callable	$	1,471,500	$	1,732,000

Member demand has been weak for putable advances, which are typically medium- and long-term.

Investments

We maintain long-term investment portfolios, which are principally mortgage-backed securities issued by GSEs and U.S. Agency (hereinafter referred to as “GSE-issued”), a smaller portfolio of MBS issued by private enterprises, and a portfolio of securities issued by state or local housing finance agencies.  We also maintain short-term investments for our liquidity purpose, funding daily stock repurchases and redemptions, ensuring the availability of funds to meet the credit needs of our members, and also to provide additional earnings.

We are subject to credit risk on our investments, generally transacted with GSEs and large financial institutions that are considered to be of investment quality.  The Finance Agency defines investment quality as a security with adequate financial backings so that full and timely payment of principal and interest on such security is expected and there is minimal risk that the timely payment of principal and interest would not occur because of adverse changes in economic and financial conditions during the projected life of the security.  For more information about investment policies, restrictions and practices, see the most recent Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

(a)State and local housing finance agency bonds — Bonds are classified as HTM securities and are carried at amortized cost.  We acquired $33.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

(b)Mortgage-backed securities classified as AFS — No acquisitions were made in the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  AFS securities outstanding are GSE issued floating-rate Mortgage-backed securities, and are carried at fair value.

Mortgage-backed securities classified as HTM — $1.5 billion of GSE-issued MBS were acquired in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and designated as HTM.  Approximately 97.7% of HTM mortgage-backed securities were GSE issued securities.

(c)The grantor trust is classified as AFS.  We invested $12.6 million in the grantor trust in the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  Trust funds represent investments in registered mutual funds and other fixed-income and equity funds.  Funds are highly liquid and readily redeemable at their NAVs, which are the fair values of the investments.  The fund is owned by the FHLBNY.  The intent is to utilize investments to fund current and potential future payments to retirees under a non-qualified Benefits Equalization Pension plan.  For more information about the pension plan, see financial statements, Note 14.  Employee Retirement Plans.

NM — Not meaningful.

Long-Term Investment Securities

Investments with original long-term contractual maturities were comprised of mortgage-backed securities in the AFS and HTM portfolios, and a smaller portfolio of bonds issued by state and local housing agencies classified as HTM.

Pricing of GSE-issued MBS has remained tight, and acquisitions were made only when pricing justified our risk/reward criteria.  Unpaid principal balances of investments in MBS was $13.9 billion at September 30, 2015, an increase of $296.5 million (net of paydowns), compared to December 31, 2014.  By policy, we acquire only GSE-issued MBS and CMBS.

The long-term investment securities at September 30, 2015 that comprised of GSE-issued MBS, a small portfolio of vintage Private label MBS, and a small portfolio of housing finance agency bonds are summarized below:

84

·The AFS portfolio of GSE-issued floating-rate MBS were carried at their fair values of $1.0 billion at September 30, 2015, compared to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2014.  Unpaid principal balances decreased by $202.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  No acquisitions were designated to the AFS portfolio and no MBS securities were sold in the first three quarters of 2015.  Fair values of the AFS securities were substantially all in unrealized fair value gain positions at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The AFS securities are indexed to LIBOR, and certain securities are capped, typically between 6.5% and 7.5% (See Note 15.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.  In aggregate, $2.7 billion of interest rate caps have been acquired over time as a risk mitigation strategy to economically hedge the risk arising from the capped floating-rate AFS and HTM securities; also see Table 9.3 Derivative Hedging Strategies in this MD&A for more information about the purchased caps).  No AFS securities were determined to be OTTI in any periods in this report.  For more information about AFS securities, see financial statements, Note 6.  Available-for-Sale Securities.

·The HTM portfolio of MBS comprised of GSE issued fixed and floating-rate MBS and a small portfolio of Private label MBS (97.7%, GSE-issued; 2.3%, PLMBS).  Securities classified as HTM are carried at amortized cost less adjustments for credit and non-credit OTTI losses and OTTI recoveries.  Unpaid principal balances of fixed-rate MBS were $7.3 billion and $7.2 billion at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014; unpaid principal balances of floating-rate MBS were $5.6 billion and $5.2 billion at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we acquired $0.4 billion of fixed-rate MBS (primarily CMBS), compared to $0.3 billion in paydowns.  In the same period, we acquired $1.1 billion of floating-rate securities, compared to $0.7 billion in paydowns.  HTM floating-rate securities are typically indexed to the 1-month LIBOR, and certain securities are capped, typically between 6.5% and 7.5%.  (See Note 15.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.  In aggregate, $2.7 billion of interest rate caps have been acquired over time as a risk mitigation strategy to economically hedge the risk arising from the capped floating-rate securities in the HTM and AFS portfolios; also see Table 9.3 Derivative Hedging Strategies in this MD&A for more information about the purchased caps).  Additional OTTI was recognized on previously OTTI private-label MBS - unpaid principal balance of $4.8 million was written down to its fair value of $3.9 million.  OTTI charges were $90.0 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  For more information about HTM securities, see financial statements, Note 5. Held-to-Maturity Securities.

·Housing finance agency bonds (“HFA bonds”), all designated as HTM, were carried at amortized cost basis of $833.6 million and $813.1 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  We acquired $33.0 million for the HTM portfolio in the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  Bonds are primarily floating rate instruments indexed to LIBOR.  No bonds were determined to be OTTI in any periods in this report.

Footnotes to Table 5.3 and Table 5.4

(a)Certain PLMBS and housing finance bonds have been assigned AAA, based on the ratings by S&P and Moody’s.

(b)We have assigned GSE-issued MBS a rating of AA+ based on the credit rating assigned to long-term senior debt issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and U.S. Agency.  The debt ratings are based on S&P’s rating of AA+ for the GSE Senior long-term debt and AA+ for the debt issued by the U.S. government; Moody’s debt rating is Aaa for the GSE Senior long-term debt and the U.S. government.

(c)Highly liquid equity and bond mutual funds, carried at net asset values (NAVs) as fair values.  We invested $12.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

External credit rating information has been provided in Table 5.3 and Table 5.4 as the information is used as another data point to supplement our credit quality indicators, and they serve as a useful indicator when analyzing the degree of credit risk to which we are exposed.  Significant changes in credit ratings classifications of our investment securities portfolio could indicate increased credit risk for us that could be accompanied by a reduction in the fair values of our investment securities portfolio.

Fair Value Levels of Investment Securities, and Unrecognized and Unrealized Holding Losses

To compute fair values at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, four vendor prices were received for substantially all of our MBS holdings, and substantially all of those prices fell within specified thresholds.  The relative proximity of the prices received from the four vendors supported our conclusion that the final computed prices were reasonable estimates of fair values.  GSE securities priced under such a valuation technique using the market approach are typically classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

For a comparison of carrying values and fair values of investment securities, see financial statements, Note 5. Held-to-Maturity Securities and Note 6. Available-for-Sale Securities.  For more information about the corroboration and other analytical procedures performed, see Note 16. Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

OTTI — Base Case and Adverse Case Scenario

We evaluated our PLMBS under a base case (or best estimate) scenario by performing a cash flow analysis for each security under assumptions that forecasted 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.

Cash flow analysis in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 identified very modest deterioration in the performance parameters of one previously impaired private-label MBS.  Credit OTTI charged to earnings was $29.0 thousand in the 2015 third quarter and $61.0 thousand in the 2015 second quarter.  The results of the adverse case scenario are presented below alongside our expected outcome for the credit impaired securities (the base case) at the OTTI measurement dates (in thousands):

FHLBank OTTI Governance Committee Common Platform — Consistent with the guidelines provided by the OTTI Committee, the FHLBNY has contracted with the FHLBanks of San Francisco and Chicago to perform cash flow analysis for about 50% of our non-Agency PLMBS portfolio that were possible to be cash flow tested within the Common platform.  The results were reviewed and found reasonable by the FHLBNY.  For more information about the OTTI Committee and the Common platform, see Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (“OTTI”) — Accounting and governance policies, and impairment analysis in the financial statements, Note 1.

Short-term investments

We typically maintain substantial investments in high quality short- and intermediate-term financial instruments such as secured overnight transactions collateralized by securities, and unsecured overnight and term federal funds sold to highly-rated financial institutions who also satisfy other credit quality factors.  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.

Monitoring — 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, and actively limit or suspend existing exposures, as appropriate.  In addition, we are required to manage our unsecured portfolio subject to regulatory limits, prescribed by the Finance agency, our regulator.  The Finance agency 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 Finance agency regulations.

The Finance agency regulations also permit us to extend additional unsecured credit, which could be comprised of overnight extensions and sales of federal funds subject to continuing contract.  Our total unsecured overnight exposure to a single counterparty may not exceed twice the regulatory limit for term exposures.  We are prohibited by Finance agency 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.  The FHLBNY did not own any financial instruments issued by foreign sovereign governments, including those countries that are members of the European Union.

For more information about our policies and practices, see the most recent Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

Securities purchased with agreement to resell — As part of the FHLBNY’s banking activities with counterparties, the FHLBNY has entered 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 securities, which are accepted as collateral.  The balance outstanding under such agreements was $8.9 billion at September 30, 2015 and $800.0 million at December 31, 2014.  The balance at September 30, 2015 included $7.8 billion in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Reverse Repurchase program.

For more information, see financial statements, Note 4.  Federal Funds Sold, Interest-bearing Deposits, and Securities Purchased Under Agreement to Resell.

Federal funds sold and Cash at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York — Federal funds sold at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 represented overnight 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 as assessed by the FHLBNY, including credit ratings of counterparty’s debt securities or deposits as reported by NRSROs.  Overnight and short-term federal funds allow us to warehouse funds and provide balance sheet liquidity to meet unexpected member borrowing demands.

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 5.10:Cash Balances at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”)

In addition, we maintained liquidity at the FRBNY.  The following table summarizes outstanding balances at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and the average balances for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. (in millions):

(a)Lower amounts of cash balances were maintained by the FRBNY at September 30, 2015 compared with December 31, 2014, were determined based on projected estimated member liquidity requirements.

Cash collateral pledged to derivative counterparties — At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had deposited $1.1 billion in interest-earning cash as pledged collateral or as margins 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.  Typically, cash posted as collateral or as margin earn interest at the overnight federal funds rate.

We generally execute derivatives with major financial institutions and enter into bilateral collateral netting agreements for derivatives that have not yet been approved for clearing by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“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 analyses that provide support for the right of offset of posted margins as a netting adjustment to the fair value exposures of the associated derivatives.  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.  For cleared and uncleared derivatives, 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.  For more information, see Credit Risk Due to Non-performance by Counterparties in financial statements Note 15. Derivatives and Hedging Activities.  Also see Tables 9.5 and 9.6 and accompanying discussions in this MD&A.

Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio

Mortgage loans are carried in the Statements of Condition at amortized cost less allowance for credit losses.  Outstanding unpaid principal balances were $2.4 billion at September 30, 2015, an increase of $323.6 million (net of acquisitions and paydowns) from the balance at December 31, 2014.  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, and do not expect the MPF loans to increase substantially.  Loan origination by members and acceptable pricing are key factors that drive growth.  MPF loans are fixed rate mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties with maturities ranging from five to 30 years.

Mortgage Partnership Finance Program

We invest in mortgage loans through the MPF Program, which is a secondary mortgage market structure under which eligible mortgage loans are purchased or funded from or through members who are Participating Financial Institutions (“PFI”).  We may also acquire MPF loans through participations with other FHLBanks.  MPF loans are conforming conventional and Government i.e., insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) or the Rural Housing Service of the Department of Agriculture (“RHS”), fixed rate mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties with maturities ranging from five to 30 years or participations in such mortgage loans.  The FHLBank of Chicago (“MPF Provider”) developed the MPF Program in order to help fulfill the housing mission and to provide an additional source of liquidity to FHLBank members that choose to sell mortgage loans into the secondary market rather than holding them in their own portfolios.  Finance Agency regulations define the acquisition of Acquired Member Assets (“AMA”) as a core mission activity of the FHLBanks.  In order for MPF loans to meet the AMA requirements, the purchase and funding are structured so that the credit risk associated with MPF loans is shared with PFIs.

For more information about the MPF program, see Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio in the MD&A in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

MPF Loan Types — There are five MPF loan products under the MPF program that we participate in: Original MPF, MPF 100, MPF 125, MPF 125 Plus, and MPF Government.  While still held in our mortgage portfolio, we currently do not offer the MPF 100 or MPF 125 Plus loan products.  Original MPF, MPF 125, MPF 125 Plus, and MPF Government are “closed loan” products in which we purchase loans acquired or closed by the PFI.

The following table summarizes MPF loan by product types (par value, in thousands):

(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.

(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 (if the pool should 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.

(e)Other includes FHA and VA insured loans.

Mortgage loans — Conventional and Insured Loans

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

Mortgage Loans — Loss sharing and the credit enhancement waterfall

In the credit enhancement waterfall, we are responsible for the first loss layer.  The second loss layer is the amount of credit obligation that the PFI has taken on that will equate the loan to a double-A rating.  We assume all residual risk.  Also, see financial statements, Note 8.  Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio.

First loss layer — The amount of the first layer or the First Loss Account (“FLA”) serves as an information or memorandum account, and as an indicator of the amount of losses that the FHLBNY is responsible for in the first layer.  The table below provides changes in the FLA for the periods in this report.  Losses that exceed the liquidation value of the real property, and the value of any primary mortgage insurance (“PMI”) for loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80% at origination, will be absorbed by the FHLBNY up to the FLA for each Master Commitment.

(a) For the Original MPF, MPF 100, MPF 125 and MPF 125 Plus products, the Credit Enhancement is periodically recalculated.  If the recalculated Credit Enhancement would result in a PFI Credit Enhancement obligation lower than the remaining obligation, the PFI’s Credit Enhancement obligation will be reset to the new, lower level.

91

Second loss layer — The PFI is required to cover the next layer of losses up to an agreed-upon credit enhancement obligation amount, which may consist of a direct liability of the PFI to pay credit losses up to a specified amount, or through a contractual obligation of a PFI to provide supplemental mortgage insurance, or a combination of both.

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, and for other MPF products, the credit enhancement fee is accrued and paid monthly after being deferred for 12 months.  CE Fees are paid on a pool level, and if the pool runs down, the amount of future CE fees would shrink in line.

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 that participates in the MPF program must meet our established financial performance criteria.  In addition, we perform financial reviews of each approved PFI annually.

PMI is required for loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80% at origination.  In addition, for MPF 125 Plus products, Supplemental Mortgage Insurance (“SMI”) may be required from the PFI.  Typically, the FHLBNY will pay the PFI a higher credit enhancement fee in return for the PFI taking on the additional obligation.

Accrued interest receivable

Other assets

Accrued interest receivable was $177.7 million and $172.0 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and represented interest receivable primarily from advances and investments.  Changes in balances would represent the timing of coupons receivable from advances and investments at the balance sheet dates.

Other assets included prepayments and miscellaneous receivables, and were $13.9 million and $17.3 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Debt Financing Activity and Consolidated Obligations

Our primary source of funds continues to be the issuance of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes.

The carrying value of consolidated obligation bonds outstanding was $67.8 billion at September 30, 2015 (par, $67.2 billion) compared to $73.5 billion (par, $73.0 billion) at December 31, 2014, and amounts included unrealized fair value basis adjustments.  For bonds hedged under a qualifying hedging rule, fair value losses of $461.8 million and $387.4 million were recorded at the two balance sheet dates that were computed based on changes in the benchmark rate, which is LIBOR for the FHLBNY.  In addition, basis adjustments due to de-designated hedges were unamortized losses of $147.0 million and $119.5 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  For $13.5 billion par amounts of bonds elected under the FVO at September 30, 2015 ($19.5 billion at December 31, 2014), valuations were the entire fair values of the bonds plus interest accrued payable; net unrealized valuation losses of $11.0 million and $8.1 million were recorded at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  If held to maturity, fair value losses, associated with hedged CO bonds, CO bonds elected under the FVO, and the unamortized basis losses on CO bonds that were de-designated from hedges will reverse to zero.

The carrying value of consolidated obligation discount notes outstanding was $47.1 billion and $50.0 billion at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  Discount notes funded 37% of average earning assets in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 31% in the same period in 2014.  No discount notes had been hedged under a fair value accounting hedge.  Discount notes elected under the FVO were par amounts of $9.9 billion and $7.9 billion at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  Carrying values included unrealized valuation losses of $15.7 million and $3.1 million at the balance sheet dates.  Valuation losses are the entire fair values of the notes plus unaccreted discounts.  If held to maturity, fair value losses will reverse to zero.  Certain discount notes were hedged under a cash flow accounting hedge, and are discussed in financial statements, Note 15. Derivatives and Hedging Activities (See Cash Flow Hedges).

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, which is presented in Table 7.10.

The issuance and servicing of consolidated obligation 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.  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 our most recent Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

Joint and Several Liability

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.  For more information, see Note 17.  Commitments and Contingencies.

Fair value basis and valuation adjustments — The carrying values of consolidated obligation bonds include hedging basis adjustments (LIBOR benchmark hedging adjustments) for those bonds recorded under hedge accounting provisions, or at their entire fair values for those bonds elected under the FVO.  Fair value hedging basis adjustments are impacted by hedge volume, the interest rate environment, and the volatility of the interest rates; for bonds elected under the FVO, changes in the CO pricing curve and interest payable are also the primary drivers.

(a)Hedge valuation basis — The reported carrying values of hedged consolidated bonds are adjusted for changes to their fair values (fair value basis adjustments or fair value) that are attributable to the risk being hedged, which is LIBOR for the FHLBNY, and is the discounting basis for computing changes in fair values basis for hedged debt.

The application of the accounting methodology resulted in the recognition of $461.8 million in hedge valuation basis losses at September 30, 2015, compared to losses of $387.4 million at December 31, 2014.  Most of our existing hedged bonds are fixed-rate liabilities, which had been issued at higher coupons in prior years at the then prevailing higher interest rate environment.  Generally, hedge valuation basis are unrealized and will reverse to zero if held to their maturity or their call dates.  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.

Two factors drove the increase in valuation losses at September 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014.  First, the swap curve at points 2 years and under was higher (7-10 basis points) at September 30, 2015, compared to December 31, 2014, and impacted valuations of bonds with effective durations within the sector.  Over 75% of hedged bonds fall into that sector.  Second, the volume of consolidated obligation bonds that were in a qualifying hedging relationship declined in parallel with the decline in utilization of bonds and an increase in utilization of discount notes.  Furthermore, certain bonds were de-designated from qualifying hedge relationships in the 2015 first quarter as part of asset/liability management strategies that resulted in the reclassification of valuation basis from the hedged category to the terminated hedge category (see discussions below).  Additionally, as longer dated hedged bonds matured, previously recorded hedge valuations reversed at their maturities; bonds replaced by new issuances were at market rates, the hedging valuation basis of which were relatively close to par.  More information is provided in Table 7.2 Bonds Hedged under Qualifying Fair Value Hedges.

(b)Valuation basis of terminated hedges — When hedges are terminated before their stated maturities, the hedge valuation basis of the debt at the hedge termination date is no longer adjusted for changes in the benchmark rate; the remaining valuation basis is amortized on a level yield method as a reduction of Interest expense.  The basis at the de-designation date was a cumulative loss and the amortization to reverse the loss to zero over the future remaining term to maturity of the bonds resulted in reduction of bond expenses to a market yield for that portion of the bond.  Unamortized basis adjustments on terminated hedges were losses of $147.0 million and $119.5 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  Increase in the valuation basis of terminated hedges was due to additional hedges that were de-designated in the 2015 first quarter, and upon hedge de-designation, the basis was reclassified from hedge valuation basis to this category.

(c)FVO fair values — Carrying values of bonds elected under the FVO include valuation adjustments to recognize changes in their entire fair value, which includes accrued interest payable.  The discounting basis for computing changes in fair values of bonds elected under the FVO is the observable FHLBank CO bond yield curve.  Valuation adjustments of $11.0 million and $8.1 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 represented the premium over market values.  Volume of bonds elected under the FVO was $13.5 billion at September 30, 2015, compared to $19.5 billion at December 31, 2014.  All FVO bonds are short- and medium-term, and fluctuations in their valuation, excluding interest payable, were not significant as the bonds re-price relatively frequently to market indices, remaining near to par, although there could be inter-period volatility over the life cycle of the bonds.

We have elected the FVO on an instrument-by-instrument basis.  For bonds elected under the FVO, it was not necessary to estimate changes attributable to instrument-specific credit risk as we consider the credit worthiness of the FHLBanks to be secure and credit related adjustments unnecessary.  More information about debt elected under the FVO is provided in financial statements, Note 16.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments (See Fair Value Option Disclosures).

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):

Fixed-rate callable bonds	4,977,000		9,436,000
	$	27,457,005	$	34,699,825

Bonds elected under the FVO — If at inception of a hedge we do not believe that a 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 fair value changes of the debt through earnings, and to the extent the debt is economically hedged, record changes of 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.

Par Amount	September 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Bonds designated under FVO	$	13,455,065	$	19,515,080

Bonds elected under the FVO were generally economically hedged by interest rate swaps.  Election of short-term bonds under the FVO has largely been in parallel with the election of advances under the FVO.  By electing the FVO of both the liability (Consolidated bond) and the asset (Advances), we have reduced the potential earnings volatility if the advance asset was marked to fair value and the debt liability was not marked to fair value.  We elected to account for the bonds under the FVO as we were unable to assert with confidence that the short- and intermediate-term bonds, or with short lock-out periods to the exercise of call options, would remain effective hedges as required under hedge accounting rules.  We opted instead to elect to hedge such FVO bonds on an economic basis with an interest rate swap.  Table 7.4 below provides more information.  Also, see financial statements, Fair Value Option disclosures in Note 16.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

Economically hedged bonds — We also issue variable rate debt with coupons that are not indexed to the 3-month LIBOR, our preferred funding base.  To mitigate the economic risk of a change in the basis between the 1-month LIBOR and the 3-month LIBOR, we have executed basis rate swaps that have synthetically created 3-month LIBOR debt.  The operational cost of electing the FVO or designating the instruments in a fair value hedge outweighed the accounting benefits of offsetting fair value gains and losses.  We opted instead to designate the basis swap as a standalone derivative, and recorded changes in their fair values through earnings.  The carrying value of the debt would not include fair value basis since the debt is recorded at amortized cost.

Fixed-rate bonds (b)	45,000		195,000

(a)Floating-rate debt — Floating rate debt was economically hedged and outstanding at September 30, 2015 and increase significantly compared to December 31, 2014.  Floating-rate bonds are indexed to 1-month LIBOR and swapped in economic hedges to 3-month LIBOR with the execution of basis swaps.  The Increase in the utilization of variable-rate bonds was driven by an increase in funding needs in line with the increase in variable-rate and the FHLBNY’s asset/liability and risk management strategies.

(b)Fixed-rate debt — Bonds that were previously hedged and have fallen out of effectiveness.  The unamortized basis was not significant.

(a)Contrasting consolidated obligation bonds by contractual maturity dates with potential put 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.

(a)Carrying values of discount notes elected under the FVO include valuation adjustments to recognize changes in fair values.  The discounting basis for computing changes in fair values of discount notes elected under the FVO is the observable FHLBank discount note 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, and the growth or decline in volume.  Valuation adjustments included significant cumulative unaccreted discounts as the remaining terms on notes outstanding at September 30, 2015 were significant relative to their original contractual terms.  Unaccreted discounts or accrued unpaid interest expenses are included in the entire fair value on debt instruments elected under the FVO.  If held to maturity, unaccreted discounts will be fully accreted to par, and unrealized fair value gains and losses will sum to zero over the term to maturity.

The following table summarizes discount notes under the FVO (par amounts, in thousands):

(a)We elected the FVO for the discount notes to partly offset the volatility of floating-rate advances elected under the FVO.  For discount notes elected under the FVO, it was not necessary to estimate changes attributable to instrument-specific credit risk as we consider the credit worthiness of the FHLBanks to be secured and credit related adjustments unnecessary.

Discount notes hedged under qualifying hedge (a)	$	1,465,000	$	1,256,000

(a)Par amounts represent discounts notes issued in cash flow “rollover” hedge strategies that hedged the variability of 91-day discount notes issued in sequence typically for periods up to 15 years.  In this strategy, the 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 financial statements, Cash Flow Hedges in Note 15. Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Accrued interest payable

Other liabilities

Accrued interest payable — Amounts outstanding were $113.2 million and $120.5 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  Accrued interest payable was comprised primarily of interest due and unpaid on consolidated obligation bonds, which are generally payable on a semi-annual basis.  Fluctuations in unpaid interest balances on bonds are due to the timing of semi-annual coupon accruals and payments at the balance sheet dates.

Other liabilities — Amounts outstanding were $132.8 million and $122.4 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  Other liabilities comprised of unfunded pension liabilities, pass through reserves held on behalf of members at the FRBNY, commitments and miscellaneous payables.  Other liabilities increased at September 30, 2015, primarily due to increases in pass-through reserves and miscellaneous liabilities.  For more information about pass-through reserves, see financial statements, Note 3. Cash and Due from Banks.

Stockholders’ Capital

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

Table 8.1:             Stockholders’ Capital

	September 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Capital Stock (a)	$	5,285,781		$	5,580,073
Unrestricted retained earnings (b)	886,681			862,672
Restricted retained earnings (c)	269,384			220,099
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss	(163,630		)	(136,986		)
Total Capital	$	6,278,216		$	6,525,858

(a)Stockholders’ Capital — Capital stock declined by $294.3 million primarily due to decrease in advances outstanding and a corresponding decrease in the required “activity” stock to collateralize advances.  When an advance matures or is prepaid, the excess capital stock is re-purchased by the FHLBNY.  For more information about activity and membership stock, see Note 12.  Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings in the FHLBNY’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

(b)Unrestricted retained earnings — Net Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $246.4 million; $49.3 million was set aside towards Restricted retained earnings.  From the remaining amounts, we paid $173.1 million to members as dividends in the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  As a result, Unrestricted retained earnings increased by $24.0 million to $886.7 million at September 30, 2015.

(c)Restricted retained earnings — Restricted retained earnings at September 30, 2015 have grown to $269.4 million from the third quarter of 2011 when the FHLBanks, including the FHLBNY agreed to set up a restricted retained earnings account.  The FHLBNY will allocate at least 20% of its net income to the restricted retained earnings account (at the FHLBNY) until the balance of the account equals at least 1% of FHLBNY’s average balance of outstanding Consolidated Obligations for the previous quarter.  By way of reference, if the Restricted retained earnings target was to be calculated at September 30, 2015, the target amount would be $1.1 billion based on the FHLBNY’s average consolidated obligations outstanding in the quarter.  For more information about Restricted retained earnings, 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 23, 2015.

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

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

	September 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Accumulated other comprehensive loss
Non-credit portion of OTTI on held-to-maturity securities, net of accretion (a)	$	(38,630	)	$	(44,283	)
Net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities (b)	12,320			15,374
Net unrealized losses on hedging activities (c)	(117,028		)	(86,667		)
Employee supplemental retirement plans (d)	(20,292		)	(21,410		)
Total Accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	(163,630	)	$	(136,986	)

(a)OTTI — Non-credit OTTI losses recorded in AOCI declined at September 30, 2015, primarily due to accretion recorded as a reduction in AOCI and a corresponding increase in the balance sheet carrying values of the OTTI securities.  Additional OTTI credit loss of $90.0 thousand was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as a re-impairment on previously impaired security.  The non-credit OTTI loss was $227.0 thousand.

(b)Fair values of available-for-sale securities — Balances represent net unrealized fair value gains of MBS securities and the grantor trust fund classified as available-for-sale.  The pricing of the securities in the MBS securities in the AFS portfolio were substantially all in unrealized gain positions at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

(c)Cash flow hedge losses — Balances represent unrealized valuation losses on interest rate swaps in cash flow “rollover” strategies that hedged the variability of 91-day discount notes, which will be issued in sequence typically for periods up to 15 years.  Fair values of the swaps were in net unrealized loss positions since the payments to swap dealers are fixed-rates that were higher than the LIBOR indexed payments due from the swap dealers.  Valuation losses have increased due to decline in the forecasted swap rates along the longer end of the swap yield curve at September 30, 2015 relative to December 31, 2014, and fair values of interest rate swaps in this hedging strategy will move favorably when long-term swap rates rise, and unfavorably when long-term swap rates fall.  Fair value changes will be recorded through AOCI over the life of the hedges for the effective portion of the cash flow hedge strategy.

Hedges of anticipatory issuance of debt — From time to time, the FHLBNY executes interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate exposure of a future issuance of debt.  When the debt is issued, the swap is terminated and realized gains or losses are recorded in AOCI and amortized to debt interest expenses as a yield adjustment.  If the swap is outstanding, the effective portion of its fair value is also recorded in AOCI.  Open contracts at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were carried at unrealized fair value losses of $1.0 million and $0.2 million.  For closed contracts, unamortized realized net losses were $5.7 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  It is expected that over the next 12 months, $2.0 million of the unrecognized loss in AOCI will be recognized as a yield adjustment (expense) to debt interest expense.

(d)Employee supplemental plans — Balances represent actuarially determined supplemental pension and postretirement health benefit liabilities that were not recognized through earnings.  Amounts are amortized as an expense through Compensation and benefits over an actuarially determined period.  For more information, see financial statements, Note 14.  Employee Retirement Plans in the FHLBNY’s most recent Form10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

Dividends — By Finance Agency regulation, dividends may be paid out of current earnings or if certain conditions are met, may be paid out of 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.

The following table summarizes dividends paid and payout ratios:

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. Finance Agency regulations prohibit the speculative use of derivatives.  For additional information about the methodologies adopted for the fair value measurement of derivatives, see financial statements, Note 16.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

(b)Derivatives that did not qualify under hedge accounting rules, but were utilized as an economic hedge (“standalone”).

(c)Derivatives that were utilized as economic hedges of financial instruments elected under the FVO.

(d)Net derivative asset balance included $78.3 million and $28.9 million of excess cash collateral/margins posted by the FHLBNY to derivative counterparties at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  Excess margins are typically the initial margins posted to Derivative Clearing Organizations in compliance with rules for cleared swaps.

The categories of “Fair value,” “Commitment,” and “Cash flow” hedges represented derivative transactions accounted for as hedges.  The category of “Economic” hedges represented derivative transactions under hedge strategies that did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment but were an approved risk management strategy.

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 that may exceed its recorded fair values.  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.  Summarized below are our risk measurement and mitigation 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 and a Derivative Clearing Organization (“DCO”) that met our credit quality standards.  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 financial statements, Credit Risk due to non-performance by counterparties, in Note 15. Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

100

Risk mitigation — We attempt to mitigate derivative counterparty credit risk by contracting only with experienced counterparties with investment-quality credit ratings that met our credit quality standards.  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 (“NRSRO”).  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 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.

Derivatives Counterparty Credit Ratings

The following tables provide NRSRO ratings, notional amounts and fair values for the FHLBNY’s derivative exposures as represented by derivatives in fair value gain positions.  For derivatives where the counterparties were in gain positions, the fair values and notional amounts are grouped together (in thousands):

(a)Includes excess margins posted to counterparties and to a Derivative Clearing Organization on derivatives that were classified as derivative assets, which are an exposure for the FHLBNY.

(b)Members pledge non-cash collateral to fully collateralize their exposures.  Non-cash collateral is not deducted from net derivative assets on the balance sheet.

Uncleared derivatives — Notional amounts of uncleared (bilaterally executed) derivatives were $39.4 billion and $51.1 billion at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  For bilateral executed 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.  We do not expect to post additional collateral.  The FHLBNY is rated AA+/stable by S&P’s and Aaa/stable by Moody’s.

Cleared derivatives — Notional amounts of cleared derivatives at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $67.8 billion and $59.8 billion.  For cleared OTC derivatives, margin requirements are determined by the DCO, 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.  We were not subject to additional margin calls by our clearing agents at September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Collateral and margin posted — Cash collateral, $1.1 billion, were posted to swap dealers and the DCO at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  After posting cash collateral, the fair values of our derivative instruments that were in a net liability position at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were approximately

101

$289.9 million and $345.2 million, and represented the swap counterparties exposures in the event of non-performance by the FHLBNY to the swap contracts.

On the assumption that 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 $46.0 million at September 30, 2015 and $56.0 million at December 31, 2014.  Additional collateral postings upon an assumed downgrade were estimated based on the individual collateral posting provisions of the CSA of the counterparty and the actual bilateral exposure of the counterparty and the FHLBNY at those dates.

(a)Notional concentration — Concentration is measured by fair value exposure and not by notional amounts.  Fair values for derivative contracts in a gain position are our credit exposure due to potential non-performance of the derivative counterparties.  For derivative contracts that were in a liability position, the swap counterparties were exposed to a default or non-performance by the FHLBNY.  For such transactions, the FHLBNY’s potential exposure would be the FHLBNY’s inability to replace the contracts at a value that would be 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)Includes cleared swaps at a Derivative clearing organization - notional amounts of $67.8 billion and $59.8 billion at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

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 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 the 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 during all periods in this report.  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.  We met these requirements at all times.  Quarterly average reserves and actual reserves are summarized below (in millions):

Table 10.1:Deposit Liquidity

	Average Deposit		Average Actual
For the Quarters Ended	Reserve Required		Deposit Liquidity		Excess
September 30, 2015	$	1,047	$	80,560	$	79,513
June 30, 2015	1,131		79,681		78,550
March 31, 2015	1,502		87,096		85,594
December 31, 2014	1,876		85,552		83,676

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.

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

Table 10.2:Operational Liquidity

	Average Balance Sheet		Average Actual
For the Quarters Ended	Liquidity Requirement		Operational Liquidity		Excess
September 30, 2015	$	5,332	$	27,632	$	22,300

December 31, 2014	7,108		22,966		15,858

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

103

the repurchase market; and (4) irrevocable lines of credit from financial institutions receiving not less than the second-highest credit rating from a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization.  We consistently exceeded the regulatory minimum requirements for contingency liquidity.  Contingency liquidity is measured 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, 2015	$	2,358	$	27,300	$	24,942
June 30, 2015	2,130		24,961		22,831
March 31, 2015	4,019		26,596		22,577
December 31, 2014	2,975		22,881		19,906

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.

Other Liquidity Contingencies.  As discussed more fully under the section Debt Financing Activity and Consolidated Obligations, we are primarily liable for consolidated obligations 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.  If the principal or interest on any consolidated obligation issued on our behalf is not paid in full when due, we may not pay dividends, redeem or repurchase shares of stock of any member or non-member stockholder until the Finance Agency approves our consolidated obligation payment plan or other remedy and until we pay all the interest or principal currently due on all our consolidated obligations.  The Finance Agency, at its discretion, may require any FHLBank to make principal or interest payments due on any consolidated obligations.

Finance Agency regulations also state that the FHLBanks must maintain, free from any lien or pledge, the following types of assets in an amount at least equal to the amount of consolidated obligations outstanding: Cash; Obligations of, or fully guaranteed by, the United States; Secured advances; Mortgages that have any guaranty, insurance, or commitment from the United States or any agency of the United States; and investments described in section 16(a) of the FHLBank Act, including securities that a fiduciary or trust fund may purchase under the laws of the state in which the FHLBank is located.

Cash flows

Cash and due from banks was $1.0 billion at September 30, 2015 and $6.5 billion at December 31, 2014.  Excess liquidity at September 30, 2015 had been invested in overnight secured lending and unsecured investment in the federal funds market, and explains the decline in cash balances.  See Table 5.10 for a fuller understanding of cash held at the FRBNY.  Also see Statements of Cash Flows in the financial statements.  The following discussion highlights the major activities and transactions that affected our cash flows.

Cash flows from operating activities — Operating assets and liabilities support our lending activities to members, and 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, our 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 $463.4 million in the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2015, compared to $444.6 million in the same period last year.  By way of comparison, Net income was $246.4 million in the current year period and $237.9 million in the prior year period.

Net cash flows were higher than Net income largely as a result of adjustments for non-cash fair value adjustments on derivatives and hedging activities and derivative financing elements, which contributed $174.8 million and $178.3 million in the current year period and prior year period.  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

104

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, which represented interest payments to swap counterparties for the off-market swaps, were classified as Financing activities rather than Operating activities.

Cash flows used in investing activities — Investing activities resulted in $4.6 billion in favorable net cash inflows in the current year-to-date period primarily due to prepayments of advances.  In the same period last year, investing activities were a net user of $8.8 billion of funds primarily due to increase in advances.

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 another FHLBank, generally for a period of one day.  Such borrowings have been insignificant historically.

The following table summarizes short-term debt and their key characteristics (dollars in thousands):

(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.

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 sections 11(a) and 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 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.  For more information about contractual obligations and commitments, see financial statements, Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies.

LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

Joint Final Rule on Margin and Capital Requirements for Covered Swap Entities.  In October 2015, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the FDIC, the Farm Credit Administration, and the FHFA (each an Agency and, collectively, the Agencies) jointly adopted final rules to establish minimum margin and capital requirements for registered swap dealers, major swap participants, security-based swap dealers, and major security-based swap participants (Swap Entities) that are subject to the jurisdiction of one of the Agencies (such entities, Covered Swap Entities, and the joint final rules, the Final Margin Rules).

When they take effect, the Final Margin Rules will subject non-cleared swaps and non-cleared security-based swaps between Covered Swap Entities and financial end-users that have material swaps exposure (i.e., an average daily aggregate notional of $8 billion or more in non-cleared swaps calculated in accordance with the Final Margin Rules), to a mandatory two-way minimum initial margin requirement.  The minimum amount of the initial margin required to be posted or collected would be either the amount calculated by the Covered Swap Entity using a standardized schedule set forth as an appendix to the Final Margin Rules, which provides the gross initial margin (as a percentage of total notional exposure) for certain asset classes, or an internal margin model of the Covered Swap Entity conforming to the requirements of the Final Margin Rules that is approved by the Agency having jurisdiction over the particular Covered Swap Entity.

The Final Margin Rules specify the types of collateral that may be posted or collected as initial margin for non-cleared swaps and non-cleared security-based swaps with financial end-users (generally cash, certain government and GSE securities, certain liquid debt, certain equity securities, certain eligible publicly traded debt, and gold); and sets forth haircuts for certain collateral asset classes. Initial margin must be segregated with an independent, third-party custodian and, generally, may not be rehypothecated, except that, cash funds may be placed with a custodian bank in return for a general deposit obligation under certain specified circumstances.

The Final Margin Rules will require minimum variation margin to be exchanged daily for non-cleared swaps and non-cleared security-based swaps between Covered Swap Entities and all financial end-users (without regard to the swaps exposure of the particular financial end-user). The minimum variation margin amount is the daily mark-to-market change in the value of the swap to the Covered Swap Entity, taking into account variation margin previously posted or collected. For non-cleared swaps and security-based swaps between Covered Swap Entities and financial end-users, variation margin may be posted or collected in cash or non-cash collateral that is considered eligible for initial margin purposes. Variation margin is not subject to segregation with an independent, third-party custodian, and may, if permitted by contract, be rehypothecated.

The variation margin requirement under the Final Margin Rules will become effective for the FHLBanks on March 1, 2017, and the initial margin requirement under the Final Margin Rules is expected to become effective for the FHLBanks on September 1, 2020.

No FHLBank is a Covered Swap Entity under the Final Margin Rules. But, the FHLBanks are financial end-users under the Final Margin Rules, and would likely have material swaps exposure when the initial margin requirements under the Final Margin Rules become effective.

Because each FHLBank is currently posting and collecting variation margin on non-cleared swaps, it is not anticipated that the variation margin requirement under the Final Margin Rules will have a material impact on FHLBank costs. However, when the initial margin requirements under the Final Margin Rules become effective, each FHLBank anticipates that its cost of engaging in non-cleared swaps may increase.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the SEC are expected to adopt their own versions of the Final Margin Rules that will be comparable to the Final Margin Rules. The CFTC’s and SEC’s rules will only apply to a limited number of registered swap dealers, security-based swap dealers, major swap participants, and major security-based swap participants that are not subject to the jurisdiction of one of the Agencies.

FHFA Core Mission Achievement Advisory Bulletin 2015-05. On July 14, 2015, the FHFA issued an advisory bulletin that provides guidance relating to a core mission asset ratio by which the FHFA will assess each FHLBank’s core mission achievement.  The FHFA plans to assess core mission achievement by using a ratio of primary mission assets, which includes advances and mortgage loans acquired from members (also referred to as acquired member assets), to consolidated obligations. The core mission asset ratio will be calculated at year-end 2015, and annually thereafter as part of the FHFA’s examination process, using annual average par values.

The advisory bulletin provides the FHFA’s expectations for each FHLBank’s strategic plan based on its ratio, which are:

·when the ratio is at least 70% or higher, the strategic plan should include an assessment of the FHLBank’s prospects for maintaining this level;

·when the ratio is at least 55% but less than 70%, the strategic plan should explain the FHLBank’s plan to increase its mission focus; and

·when the ratio is below 55%, the strategic plan should include an explanation of the circumstances that caused the ratio to be at that level and detailed plans to increase the ratio. The advisory bulletin provides that if an FHLBank maintains a ratio below 55% over the course of several consecutive reviews, then the FHLBank’s board of directors should consider possible strategic alternatives.

Our core mission activities primarily include the issuance of advances.  In addition, we acquire member assets through the MPF program.  Our core mission achievement ratio has historically been well in excess of 70%.

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% 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 interest rate exchange agreements (“Swaps”).  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 monitor 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, rates at September 2014, December 2014, March 2015, June 2015 and September 2015 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 in the unchanged case.

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

·KRD exposure at any of nine term points (3-month, 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, 5-year, 7-year, 10-year, 15-year, and 30-year) 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.  KRD exposures have largely remained unchanged year-over-year.

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 2014 and the third quarter of 2015):

	Base Case DOE	-200bps DOE	+200bps DOE
September 30, 2015	-1.02	N/A	0.88
June 30, 2015	-0.35	N/A	1.02
March 31, 2015	-0.74	N/A	0.87
December 31, 2014	-0.73	N/A	1.03
September 30, 2014	-0.36	N/A	1.14

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.

107

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 10 percent of assets limit 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, 2015	$	5.646 Billion
June 30, 2015	$	5.323 Billion
March 31, 2015	$	5.596 Billion
December 31, 2014	$	5.704 Billion
September 30, 2014	$	5.675 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 2014 and the third quarter of 2015):

	Sensitivity in the -200bps Shock	Sensitivity in the +200bps Shock
September 30, 2015	N/A	8.80	%
June 30, 2015	N/A	7.33	%
March 31, 2015	N/A	9.42	%
December 31, 2014	N/A	6.94	%
September 30, 2014	N/A	5.47	%

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 the 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 2014 and the third quarter of 2015):

	Down-shockChange in MVE	+200bps Change in MVE
September 30, 2015	N/A	0.01	%
June 30, 2015	N/A	-0.66	%
March 31, 2015	N/A	0.09	%
December 31, 2014	N/A	-0.42	%
September 30, 2014	N/A	-0.70	%

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, José R. González, and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Kevin M. Neylan, as of September 30, 2015.  Based on this evaluation, they concluded that as of September 30, 2015, 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.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) is involved in disputes or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business.  An ongoing dispute over the termination value of multiple derivative transactions involving the FHLBNY was previously disclosed in Part I, Item 3 of the FHLBNY’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and in Part II, Item 1 of the FHLBNY’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended, respectively, March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015.

As previously reported in Part II, Item 1 of the FHLBNY’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, on July 17, 2015, the FHLBNY filed a motion to dismiss certain of the claims in the complaint filed by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. against the FHLBNY.  The motion was denied by an order dated September 24, 2015.  The parties are now engaged in pre-trial proceedings, including the exchange of documents, and trial is currently scheduled to commence in the spring of 2017.

The FHLBNY intends to vigorously defend against LBHI’s complaint and pursue its claims against LBSF and LBHI, as guarantor.  The amount the FHLBNY actually recovers or pays cannot be determined at this time and will ultimately be decided in the course of this litigation.

Additional information about the foregoing matter can be found in Note 17 of the financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which information primarily restates that which is set forth at Part I, Item 3 of the FHLBNY’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and in Part II, Item 1 of the FHLBNY’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended, respectively, March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the “Part I — Item 1A - Risk Factors” section of the FHLBNY’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

Exhibit 10.01

2016 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION POLICY

Effective as of January 1, 2016

PURPOSE: The Director Compensation Policy (“Policy”) establishes meeting fees that the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) will pay to the Board of Directors (collectively, the “Board”; each member individually or severally, the “Directors”) of the FHLBNY and also sets forth the types of Director expenses that may be reimbursed.  The activities referred to in this Policy are those as to which the Board believes Director attendance is necessary and appropriate and which may be compensated.  The Policy has been prepared in accordance with Section 7 of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act (“Bank Act”) and the regulations of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) regarding Director compensation and expenses.

I.2016 DIRECTOR FEES

A.Board Chairman

The maximum fee opportunity for 2016 for the Chair of the Board shall be $120,000.

B.Board Vice Chairman

The maximum fee opportunity for 2016 for the Vice Chair of the Board shall be $105,000.

C.Committee Chairs

The maximum fee opportunity for 2016 for a Director serving as a Committee Chair shall be $105,000; however, such Director shall not receive any additional fee opportunity if he or she serves as Chair of more than one Committee.  The Board Chair and Board Vice Chair shall not receive any additional fee opportunity for serving as a Chair of one or more Board Committees.

D.Other Directors

The maximum fee opportunity for 2016 for Directors other than the Chair, the Vice Chair, and the Committee Chairs shall be $95,000.

E.Payments and Attendance

Each Director shall be paid an amount equal to approximately one-eighth of such Director’s maximum fee opportunity as described above for each Board meeting that is attended by said Director in 2016.  This formulation is based on nine scheduled Board meetings in 2016.  In addition, although attendance is expected at all Board meetings as per the FHLBNY’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, this formulation allows for one absence.  Such fees are to be paid on a quarterly basis in arrears.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF NEW YORK · 101 PARK AVENUE · NEW YORK, NY 10178 · T: 212.681.6000 · WWW.FHLBNY.COM

Attendance at meetings by telephonic means shall be deemed acceptable for purposes of receiving compensation.

Directors may, in their sole discretion, elect to not receive meeting fees by notifying the Corporate Secretary.

F.Payments and Performance

Payments to Directors may be reduced in the sole judgment of the Board Chair if the Chair determines such director’s Board performance to be significantly deficient.  The Board’s Corporate Governance and External Affairs Committee is authorized to, by a majority vote, make similar decisions pertaining to the performance of the Board Chair.

G.Fees Pertaining to Leadership Roles Relating to the Council of Home Loan Banks

In addition to the above compensation, a Director who serves as Chair of the Council of Federal Home Loan Banks or who serves as Chair of the Chair/Vice Chair Committee of the Council of Federal Home Loan Banks will receive a $10,000 stipend per year of service.  The stipend will be paid through quarterly payments of $2,500.

II.2016 DIRECTOR EXPENSES

A.General Reimbursement Principles

1.Directors may be reimbursed for reasonable travel, subsistence and other related expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their official duties as are payable to senior officers of the FHLBNY as specified in the FHLBNY’s current policy covering the reimbursement of travel and other business-related items incurred by Directors.  However, under no circumstances shall Directors be reimbursed for gift or entertainment expenses.  (The principles in this Section II pertaining to permitted reimbursements shall also apply to those expenses paid for directly by the Bank to vendors and allocated to individuals in accordance with FHFA directives or guidance which may be issued from time to time.)

B.Board and Board Committee Meetings

1.Reimbursement of reasonable expenses may be provided to Directors in connection with attendance at Board and Committee meetings as established herein.

C.Stockholders’ Meetings

1.Reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred by Directors attending FHLBNY stockholders’ meetings is permitted.

2

D.Industry Meetings

1.Reimbursement of Independent Directors’ expenses incurred while attending industry meetings or annual conventions of trade associations on a national level is permitted provided that a specific objective has been identified and that attendance has been specifically pre-approved by the Board of Directors.  Independent Directors attending industry events on behalf of the FHLBNY should register and identify themselves as Directors of the FHLBNY.

2.Reimbursement of Member Directors’ expenses incurred while in attendance at industry meetings or annual conventions of trade associations on a national level is not permissible, unless such attendance is incidental to a FHLBNY Board or Committee meeting.

E.Meetings Called by the Federal Housing Finance Agency

1.Reimbursement of reasonable expenses may be provided to all Directors participating in any meetings called by the FHFA.

F.Other Bank System Meetings

1.Reimbursement of reasonable expenses may be provided to all Directors who are invited to attend meetings of Federal Home Loan Bank System committees; Federal Home Loan Bank System director orientation meetings; and meetings of the Council of Federal Home Loan Banks and Council committees (e.g., the Chair/Vice Chair Committee).

G.Expenses of Spouses/Guests

1.Expenses incurred by a Director’s spouse/guest while accompanying the Director to a meeting will not be reimbursed.

III.PROCEDURES AND ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS

A.Directors’ requests for reimbursement should be submitted to the Office of the Corporate Secretary within 60 days of incurring the reimbursable item(s).

B.Payment for and reimbursement of allowable business expenses of the Directors will require the approval of the Corporate Secretary or such officers designated by the Corporate Secretary.

C.Meetings of the Board and Committees thereof should usually be held within the district served by the FHLBNY.  Under no circumstances shall such meetings be held in any location that is not within the district without prior approval of the Board.  FHFA regulations prohibit any meetings of the Board of Directors (including committee, planning, or other business meetings) to be held outside the United States or its possessions and territories.

IV.METHODOLOGY

In determining the appropriate and reasonable fee opportunities available to FHLBNY Directors for 2016 as described herein, the Board has taken into consideration the following factors:

·the desire to attract and retain highly qualified and skilled individuals in order to help guide a complex and highly-regulated financial institution that is subject to a variety of financial, reputational and other risks;

·the highly competitive environment for talent in the New York City metropolitan area — a center of world finance in which stock exchanges, securities companies and other sophisticated financial institutions are located;

·the demands of the Director position, including the time and effort that Directors must devote to FHLBNY and Board business — demands that have grown over the past several years;

·the overall performance of the FHLBNY, an institution that is a Federal Home Loan Bank System leader, a strong financial performer, a reliable source of liquidity for its customers, and a provider of a consistent dividend — and an institution which wishes to maintain this performance;

·information pertaining to compensation opportunities available to directors of other Federal Home Loan Banks; and

·director compensation surveys performed over time by outside compensation consulting firm McLagan, most recently in 2015 — surveys which have provided the Directors with the ability to compare Director compensation opportunities with compensation opportunities available at other institutions.

The Board will review the issue of appropriate and reasonable Director fee opportunities on an annual basis.

(a) Level 3 Instruments — The fair values of non-Agency 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, and consolidated obligations and advances elected under the FVO at fair value on a recurring basis.  On a non-recurring basis, held-to-maturity securities determined to be OTTI and written down to their fair values, and mortgage loans held-for-portfolio that are written down to their fair values or are foreclosed as Other real estate owned (“REO”) and written down to their fair values are reported on a non-recurring basis in the period the fair values are recorded in the Statements of Condition.

The accounting standards under Fair Value Measurement defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Among other things, the standard requires the FHLBNY to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The standard specifies a hierarchy of inputs based on whether the inputs are observable or unobservable.  Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the FHLBNY’s market assumptions.

These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy, and 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:

· 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 — Inputs that are unobservable and significant to the valuation of the asset or liability.

The inputs are evaluated on an overall level for the fair value measurement to be determined.  This overall level is an indication of market observability of the fair value measurement for the asset or liability.  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 values approximate the recorded book balances, and are considered to be within the Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Interest-Bearing Deposits, Federal Funds Sold and Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell — The FHLBNY determines estimated fair values of short-term investments by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows of 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 are the yields on the instruments, which 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 pricing primarily from pricing services.  The pricing vendors typically use market multiples derived from a set of comparables, including matrix pricing, and other techniques.

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 employs the concept of cluster pricing and 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.  The cluster tolerance guidelines shall be reviewed annually and may be revised as necessary.  To be included among the cluster, at September 30, 2015, each price must fall within 7 points (7 points at December 31, 2014) of the median price for residential PLMBS and within 2 points of the median price for GSE-issued MBS.  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 FHLBNY’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 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.  At September 30, 2015, one held-to-maturity private -label MBS was deemed OTTI and was written down to its fair values, so that its carrying values recorded in the balance sheet equaled its fair values, which was classified on a nonrecurring basis as Level 3 financial instruments under the valuation hierarchy.  No held-to-maturity securities were recorded at fair values on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2014, as no MBS were determined to be OTTI.

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.

Grantor trust - The FHLBNY has a grantor trust, which invests in money market, equity and fixed income and bond funds.  Investments in the trust are classified as AFS.  Daily net asset values (NAVs) are readily available and investments are redeemable at short notice.  NAVs are the fair values of the funds in the grantor trust.  Because of the highly liquid nature of the investments at their NAVs, they are categorized as Level 1 financial instruments under the valuation hierarchy.

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.  Both these inputs are considered 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 input.  For the FHLBNY, Level 3 inputs were considered as 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  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%, 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 Condition 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 — MPF Loans

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 (Unimpaired mortgage 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 (Impaired mortgage 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 by the PFI and acquisition by the FHLBNY.

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.  TBA and agency commitment rates are market observable and therefore 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 a 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.  At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, fair values were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

The fair values of impaired MPF are generally based on collateral values less estimated selling costs.  Collateral values are generally based on broker price opinions, and any significant adjustments to apply a haircut value on the underlying collateral value would be considered to be an unobservable Level 3 input.  The FHLBNY may validate the impairment adjustment made to TBA rates by “back-testing” against incurred losses.  However, the FHLBNY’s mortgage loan historical loss experience has been insignificant, and expected credit losses are insignificant.  Level 3 inputs, if any, 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.  At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, fair values of impaired loans were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy as significant inputs to value collateral were considered to be observable.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, loans that were delinquent for 180 days or more were written down to their fair values of $9.1 million on a non-recurring basis as a Level 2 financial instruments as significant inputs to value collateral were considered to be observable.

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 Condition.  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 executed in the over-the-counter market and are valued using internal valuation techniques as no quoted market prices exist for such instruments.  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, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The FHLBNY’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 — The FHLBNY incorporates the 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 rate curve) is an input to 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.

Credit risk and credit valuation adjustments — The FHLBNY is subject to credit risk in derivatives transactions due to the potential non-performance of its derivatives counterparties or a DCO.

To mitigate this risk, the FHLBNY has entered into master netting agreements and credit support agreements with its derivative counterparties for its bilaterally executed derivative contracts that provide for the delivery of collateral at specified levels at least weekly.  The computed fair values of the 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.

For derivative transactions executed as a cleared derivative, the transactions are fully collateralized in cash and exchanged daily with the DCO.  The FHLBNY has also established the enforceability of offsetting rights incorporated in the agreements for the cleared derivative transactions.

As a result of these practices and agreements and the FHLBNY’s assessment of any change in its own credit spread, the FHLBNY has concluded that the impact of the credit differential between the FHLBNY and its derivative counterparties and DCO 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

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.

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.  The FHLBNY has concluded that valuation models are performing to industry standards and its valuation capabilities remain robust and dependable.

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 non-recurring basis at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, by level within the fair value hierarchy.  The FHLBNY also measures certain held-to-maturity securities and mortgage loans at fair value on a non-recurring basis when a credit loss is recognized and the carrying value of the asset is adjusted to fair value.  ORE is measured at fair value when the asset’s fair value less costs to sell is lower than its carrying amount.  Generally, non-recurring items have not been material for the FHLBNY.

Fair values of Held-to-Maturity Securities on a Nonrecurring Basis — One held-to-maturity PLMBS was measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2015; that is, it was not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but was subject to fair value adjustments as there was 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 are determined to be credit impaired are required to be recorded at their fair values in the Statements of Condition.  For more information, see Note 5. Held-to-Maturity Securities.  No investment securities (held-to-maturity) were carried at fair values at December 31, 2014, as no security was deemed OTTI at that date.

Mortgage loans and “Real estate owned” — During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, loans that were delinquent for 180 days or more were written down to their fair values of $9.1 million on a non-recurring basis.  Real estate owned (“Foreclosed properties”), with fair values of $2.2 million was recorded on a non-recurring basis during the same period.

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 Statements 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.  Advances have also been elected under the FVO when analysis indicated 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, 2015 and the same periods in the prior year, and at December 31, 2014.

Advances elected under the FVO were short-term in nature, with tenors that were generally less than 24 months.  As with all advances, the loans were fully collateralized through their terms to maturity.  Consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes elected under the FVO are high credit quality, highly-rated instruments, and changes in fair values were generally related to changes in interest rates and investor preference, including investor asset allocation strategies.  The FHLBNY believes the credit-quality of Consolidated obligation debt has remained stable, and changes in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk, if any, were not material given that the debt elected under the FVO had been issued within the past 24 months or less, and no adverse changes have been observed in their credit characteristics.

(a) Advances — The FHLBNY has elected the FVO for certain advances, primarily short- and intermediate term floating-rate advances, and intermediate-term fixed-rate advances.  The elections were made primarily as a natural fair value offset to debt elected under the FVO.

(b) The FHLBNY has elected the FVO for certain short-term callable bonds because management was not able to assert with confidence that the debt would qualify for hedge accounting as such short-term debt, specifically with call options, may not remain highly effective hedges through the maturity of the bonds.

(c) Discount notes were elected under the FVO because management was not able to assert with confidence that the debt would qualify for hedge accounting as the short-term discount note debt may not remain highly effective hedges through maturity.

(a) Contractual obligations related to interest payments on long-term debt were calculated by applying the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding long-term debt at September 30, 2015 to the contractual payment obligations on long-term debt for each forecasted period disclosed in the table.  The FHLBNY’s overall weighted average contractual interest rate for long-term debt was 0.83% at September 30, 2015.  Callable bonds contain an exercise date or a series of exercise dates that may result in a shorter redemption period.  Redemption dates of mandatorily redeemable capital stock are assumed to correspond to maturity dates of member advances.  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.

(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.  Also includes projected payment obligations for pension plans.  For more information about these employee retirement plans, see Note 14.  Employee Retirement Plans.

Segment Information and Concentration.

Segment Information and Concentration.

Note 19.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 FHLBNY.  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, 2015, December 31, 2014, and September 30, 2014 and associated interest income for the periods then ended are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

Merger of FHLBNY member banks — Hudson City Savings Bank and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company — We had noted in previous filings of a pending merger between Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. with M&T Bank Corporation (“M&T”).  The merger agreement received regulatory approval on September 30, 2015.  Effective as of November 1, 2015, Hudson City Savings Bank (“Hudson City”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. merged with and into M&T’s wholly owned subsidiary, Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T Bank”), with M&T Bank continuing as the surviving Bank.

The parties to the merger had previously indicated their intention to pay off FHLBNY advances upon the closing of the merger transaction.  As noted in the table above, Hudson City’s outstanding balance was $6.0 billion at September 30, 2015.  On November 3, 2015, M&T Bank prepaid $4.0 billion of advances previously held by Hudson City.

We do not expect the merger to have a significant adverse impact on our financial position, cash flows or earnings.  To make the FHLBNY financially indifferent due to the prepayment, the FHLBNY charges a prepayment fee when a member prepays advances prior to the contractual maturities of advances.  However, prepayments may cause a decline in our book of business.  A lower volume of advances could result in lower net interest income and impact earnings in future periods.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and with the instructions provided by the SEC.  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, 2014 included in Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

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 FHLBNY’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 23, 2015, which contains a summary of the Bank’s significant accounting policies and estimates.

Recently Adopted Significant Accounting Policies

Recently Adopted Significant Accounting Policies

Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.  In June, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) — Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.  The FASB’s objective in issuing the amendments in this ASU was to respond to stakeholders’ concerns about current accounting and disclosures for repurchase agreements and similar transactions.  Stakeholders expressed concern that current accounting guidance distinguishes between repurchase agreements that settle at the same time as the maturity of the transferred financial asset and those that settle any time before maturity.  Under pre-existing U.S. GAAP, a repurchase agreement that would mature at the same time as the transferred financial asset (a repurchase-to-maturity transaction) generally was not considered to maintain the transferor’s effective control.

The ASU required two accounting changes.  First, the amendments changed the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting.  Second, for repurchase financing arrangements, the amendments require separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, resulting in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement.  In addition, this guidance requires additional disclosures, particularly on transfers accounted for as sales that are economically similar to repurchase agreements and on the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings.  This guidance became effective for the FHLBNY on January 1, 2015.  The adoption of the amended standards did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption as the FHLBNY’s outstanding transaction had been accounted for as secured lending and consistent with the ASU.  The disclosure for transactions accounted for as secured borrowings was required for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods after March 15, 2015.  The FHLBNY’s disclosures with respect to the secured borrowing comply with the ASU beginning with the second quarter of 2015.

Framework for Adversely Classifying Loans, Other Real Estate Owned, and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention.  In April 2012, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”), the FHLBank’s regulator, issued Advisory Bulletin 2012-02 (“Advisory Bulletin”) that provided two part guidance.  The first guidance, which addresses the classification of assets, was adopted on January 1, 2014 as required.  Adoption had no impact on the results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

The second guidance prescribes the timing of asset charge-offs if an asset is at 180 days or more past due, subject to certain conditions.  The guidance was effective January 1, 2015.  Under the FHLBNY’s pre-existing estimating methodology for the timing of charge-offs, the FHLBNY recorded a charge-off on MPF loans based upon the occurrence of a confirming event, 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 accelerated the timing of charge-offs to the earlier of 180 days of delinquency or a confirming event.   The FHLBNY records a credit loss allowance on a loan level basis on all MPF loans delinquent 90 days or greater (for loans in bankruptcy status, an allowance is recorded regardless of delinquency status).  The amount of the allowance is based on the shortfall of the value of collateral (less estimated selling costs) to the recorded investment in the impaired loan.  As the FHLBNY begins to establish the allowance of credit losses at 90 days delinquency, the impact of adoption was not significant to its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.  At January 1, 2015, the adoption date, the credit loss allowance on mortgage-loans that were past-due 180 days or more totaled $3.7 million, which amount was charged off, reducing the allowance for credit losses and a corresponding reduction in total loans, with no change in Total Assets and no change to earnings.

Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets.  In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.  The ASU clarifies Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets, and provides guidance when consumer mortgage loans collateralized by real estate should be reclassified to Real Estate Owned (“REO”).  Specifically, such collateralized mortgage loans should be reclassified to REO when either the creditor obtains legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure, or the borrower conveys all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement.

Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.  In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-14, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure, which requires that a mortgage loan be derecognized and a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if the following conditions are met: (1) the loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure; (2) at the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor and make a claim on the guarantee, and the creditor has the ability to recover under that claim; and (3) at the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed. Upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor.

ASU 2014-04 and ASU 2014-14 were effective for the FHLBNY on January 1, 2015.  Adoption did not have an impact on the FHLBNY’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

(a) The FHLBNY has a grantor trust, the intent of which is to set aside cash to meet current and future payments for a supplemental unfunded pension plan.  Neither the pension plan nor employees of the FHLBNY own the trust.  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 (NAVs) are readily available and investments are redeemable at short notice.  NAVs are the fair values of the funds in the grantor trust.  The mutual funds used to manage the assets of the Grantor trust will be sufficiently liquid to enable the trust to meet all future liabilities.  Liquidity shall be assured by keeping an adequate amount of short-term investments in the portfolio to accommodate the cash needs of the trust.  Dividend income and gains and losses from sales of funds were $120.2 thousand and $936.8 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $37.8 thousand and $194.0 thousand for the same periods of prior year and were recorded in Other income.

(a) The net periodic benefit cost has declined in most periods subsequent to the first quarter of 2014 as a result of negative plan amendments (as defined in Accounting Standards Codification ASC 715-60-55) that reduced plan obligations by $8.8 million at March 31, 2014; the resulting gain is being amortized over an actuarially determined period, reducing net periodic benefit costs.

FVO (e) - valuation adjustments and accrued interest	10,963							8,122
Total Consolidated obligation-bonds	$	67,838,602						$	73,535,543

(a) Weighted average rate represents the weighted average contractual coupons of bonds, unadjusted for swaps.

(b) Amortization of bond premiums and discounts resulted in net reduction of Interest expense by $4.7 million and $15.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $4.2 million and $22.1 million for the same periods in the prior year.

(c) Hedge valuation basis adjustments represent changes in the fair values due to changes in LIBOR on fixed-rate bonds in a Fair value hedge.

(d) Hedge basis adjustments on terminated hedges represent the unamortized balances of valuation basis of fixed-rate bonds that were previously in a fair value hedging relationship.  Generally, when a hedging relationship is de-designated, the valuation basis is no longer adjusted for changes in the valuation of the debt for changes in the benchmark rate; instead, the basis is amortized over the debt’s remaining life, so that at its maturity, the unamortized basis is reversed to $0.  The unamortized basis was $147.0 million at September 30, 2015, and $119.5 million at December 31, 2014.  Amortization was recorded as a yield adjustment, which reduced Interest expenses by $1.4 million and $4.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $0.8 million and $2.1 million for the same periods in the prior year.

(e) Valuation adjustments represent changes in the entire fair values of bonds elected under the FVO.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Note 15.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

General — The FHLBNY accounts for its hedging activities in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly SFAS 133).  As a general rule, hedge accounting is permitted where the FHLBNY is exposed to a particular risk, such as interest-rate risk that causes changes in the fair value of an asset or liability or variability in the expected future cash flows of an existing asset, liability or a forecasted transaction that may affect earnings.

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.  For more information, see Derivatives in Note 1. Significant Accounting Polices and Estimates in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

The FHLBNY, consistent with the Finance Agency’s regulations, may enter into interest-rate swaps, swaptions, and interest-rate cap and floor agreements to manage its interest rate exposure inherent in otherwise unhedged assets and funding positions.  We are not a derivatives dealer and do not trade derivatives for short-term profit.

We use 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”).

When we 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 hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in fair value of the derivatives is recorded in earnings 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.

Principal hedging activities are summarized below:

Consolidated Obligations

The FHLBNY may manage the risk arising from changing market prices and volatility of a consolidated obligation debt by matching the cash inflows on the derivative with the cash outflow on the consolidated obligation debt.

Fair value hedges — In a typical transaction, fixed-rate consolidated obligations are issued by the FHLBNY and we would concurrently enter into a matching interest rate swap in which the counterparty pays to the FHLBNY fixed cash flows designed to mirror, in timing and amounts, the cash outflows the FHLBNY pays to the holders of the consolidated obligations.

When such a transaction qualifies for hedge accounting, it is treated as a “Fair value hedge” under the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging.  By electing to use fair value hedge accounting, the carrying value of the debt is adjusted for changes in the benchmark interest rate, with any such changes in fair value recorded in current earnings.  The interest-rate swap that hedges the interest rate risk of the debt is also recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, with any changes in fair value reflected in earnings.

Cash flow hedges — The FHLBNY also hedges variable cash flows resulting from rollover (re-issuance) of 3-month consolidated obligation discount notes.  Variable cash flows from those liabilities are converted to fixed-rate cash flows by entering into receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps.  We also hedge the variability of cash flows of anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt to changes in the benchmark rate.

When such a transaction qualifies for hedge accounting, the hedge is accounted for under the provisions of a “Cash flow hedge”.  The interest-rate swaps are recorded at fair values on the balance sheet as a derivative asset or liability, with the offset in AOCI.  Changes in fair values of the hedging derivatives are reflected in AOCI to the extent the hedges are effective.  Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is recorded in current earnings.  Fair values of swaps in the cash flow hedge programs are reclassified from AOCI to earnings as an interest expense at the same time as when the interest expense from the discount note or the anticipated debt impacts interest expense.  Since efforts are made to match the terms of the derivatives to those of the hedged forecasted cash flows as closely as possible, the amount of hedge ineffectiveness is not significant.  The two Cash flow strategies are described below:

· Cash flow hedges of “Anticipated Consolidated Bond Issuance” — The FHLBNY enters into interest-rate swaps to hedge the anticipated issuance of debt, and to “lock in” the interest to be paid for the cost of funding.  The swaps are terminated upon issuance of the debt instrument, and gains or losses upon termination are recorded in AOCI.  Gains and losses 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 executes long-term pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps as hedges of the variable quarterly interest payments on the discount note borrowing program.  In this program, we issue a series of discount notes with 91-day terms over periods typically up to 15 years.  We 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 fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded in AOCI and ineffectiveness, if any, is recorded in earnings.  Amounts recorded in AOCI are reclassified to earnings in the same periods in which interest expenses are affected by the variability of the cash flows of the discount notes.

Economic hedges of consolidated obligation debt — When we issue variable-rate consolidated obligation bonds indexed to 1-month LIBOR, the U.S. Prime rate, or Federal funds rate, we will generally 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.  The choice of an economic hedge is made because the FHLBNY has determined that the operational cost of designating the hedges under accounting standards for derivatives and hedge accounting would outweigh the accounting benefits.  In this economic hedge, only the interest rate swap is carried at fair value, with changes in fair values recorded though earnings.

Consolidated obligation debt elected under the Fair Value Option — An alternative to hedge accounting, which permits the debt to be carried at the benchmark (LIBOR) fair value, is to elect debt under the FVO.  Once the irrevocable election is made upon issuance of the debt, the entire change in fair value of the debt is reported in earnings.  We have elected to carry certain fixed-rate consolidated bonds and discount notes under the FVO.  For more information, see Fair Value Option Disclosures in Note 16.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments.  Typically, we would also execute interest rate swaps (to convert the fixed-rate cash flows of the FVO debt to variable-rate cash flows), and changes in the fair values of the swaps are also recorded in earnings, creating a natural offset to the debt’s fair value changes through earnings.  The interest rate swap would be designated as an economic hedge of the debt.

Advances

We offer 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.  We may use derivatives to adjust the repricing and/or options characteristics of advances to more closely match the characteristics of its funding liabilities.

Fair value hedges — 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, we will simultaneously execute a derivative transaction, generally an interest rate swap, with terms that offset the terms of the fixed rate advance, or terms of the advance with embedded put or call options or other options.  When such instruments are conceived, designed and structured, our control procedures require the identification and evaluation of embedded derivatives, as defined under accounting standards for derivatives and hedging activities.

When a fixed-rate advance is hedged, the combination of the fixed rate advance and the derivative transaction effectively creates a variable rate asset, indexed to LIBOR.  With a putable advance borrowed by a member, we would purchase from the member a put option that is embedded in the advance.  We may hedge a putable advance by entering into a cancellable interest rate swap in which we pay to the swap counterparty fixed-rate cash flows, and in return the swap counterparty pays us variable-rate cash flows.  The swap counterparty can cancel the swap on the put date, which would normally occur in a rising rate environment, and we can terminate the advance and extend additional credit to the member on new terms.  We also offer callable advances to members, which is a fixed-rate advance borrowed by a member.  Within the structure of the advance, the FHLBNY sells to the member an embedded call option that enables the member to terminate the advance at pre-determined exercise dates.  The call option is embedded in the advance.  We hedge such advances by executing interest rate swaps with cancellable option features that would allow us to terminate the swaps also at pre-determined option exercise dates.

Advances elected under the Fair Value Option — We have elected to carry certain advances under the FVO.  Once the irrevocable election is made upon issuance of the advance, the entire change in fair value of the advance is reported in earnings, and provides a natural economic offset when a consolidated obligation debt is elected under the FVO.

Economic hedges of variable rate capped advances — We offer variable rate advances with an embedded 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 standalone cap.

Mortgage Loans

Mortgage loans are fixed-rate MPF loans held-for-portfolio, and the FHLBNY manages the interest rate and prepayment risk associated with mortgages through debt issuance, without the use of derivatives.  Firm commitments to purchase or deliver mortgage loans are accounted for as a derivative.  See “Firm Commitment Strategies” described below.

Firm Commitment Strategies — Mortgage delivery commitments are considered derivatives under the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging.  We account for them as freestanding derivatives, and record the fair values of mortgage loan delivery commitments on the balance sheet with an offset to Other income (loss) as a Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.  Fair values were not significant for all periods in this report.

Member 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 to access the derivatives market.  The derivatives used in intermediary activities do not qualify for hedge accounting, and fair value changes are recorded in earnings.  Since the FHLBNY mitigates the fair value exposure of these positions by executing identical offsetting transactions, the net impact in earnings is not significant.  The notional principal of interest rate swaps outstanding were $31.0 million and $110.0 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The FHLBNY’s exposure with respect to the transactions with members was fully collateralized.

Other Economic Hedges

The derivatives in economic hedges are considered freestanding and changes in the fair values of the swaps are recorded through income.  In general, economic hedges comprised of (1) interest rate caps to hedge balance sheet risk, specifically interest rate risk from certain capped floating rate investment securities, and (2) 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.

Credit Risk Due to Non-performance 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 flows.  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.  The majority of OTC derivative contracts are primarily bilateral contracts between the FHLBNY and the swap counterparties that are executed and settled bilaterally with counterparties, rather than settling the transaction with a derivative clearing house (“DCO”).  Certain of the FHLBNY’s OTC derivatives are executedbilaterally with executing swap counterparties, then cleared and settled through one or more DCOs as mandated under the Dodd-Frank Act.  When transacting a derivative for clearing, the FHLBNY utilizes a designated clearing agent, the Futures Clearing Merchant (“FCM”) that acts on behalf of the FHLBNY to clear and settle the interest rate exchange transaction through the DCO.  Once the transaction is accepted for clearing by the FCM, acting in the capacity of an intermediary between the FHLBNY and the DCO, the original transaction between the FHLBNY and the executing swap counterparty is extinguished, and is replaced by an identical transaction between the FHLBNY and the DCO.  The DCO becomes the counterparty to the FHLBNY.  However, the FCM remains as the principal operational contact and interacts with the DCO through the life cycle events of the derivative transaction on behalf of the FHLBNY.

Credit risk on bilateral OTC derivative contracts — For derivatives that are not eligible for clearing with a DCO under the Dodd-Frank Act, the FHLBNY is subject to credit risk as a result of non-performance by swap counterparties to the derivative agreements.  The FHLBNY enters into master netting arrangements and bilateral security agreements with all active derivative counterparties that 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 makes estimates of the collateral values in analyzing counterparty non-performance 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 the counterparty, and a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists with the counterparty, the net exposure (less collateral held) represents the appropriate measure of credit risk.  The FHLBNY conducts all its derivative transactions under ISDA master netting agreements.

Credit risk on OTC cleared derivative transactions — The FHLBNY’s derivative transactions that are eligible for clearing are subject to mandatory clearing rules under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as provided under the Dodd-Frank Act.  If a derivative transaction is listed as eligible for clearing, the FHLBNY must abide by the CFTC rules to clear the transaction through a DCO.  The FHLBNY’s cleared derivatives are also initially executed bilaterally with a swap dealer (the executing swap counterparty), in the OTC market.  The clearing process requires all parties to the derivative transaction to novate the contracts to a DCO, which then becomes the counterparty to all parties, including the FHLBNY, to the transaction.

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 net individual derivative contracts executed through a specific clearing agent, the FCM, to a designated DCO, so that a net derivative receivable or payable will be recorded for the DCO; that exposure (less margin held) would be represented by a single amount receivable from the DCO, and that amount be 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.

Typically, margin consists of “Initial margin” and “Variation margin”.  Variation margin fluctuates with the fair values of the open contracts.  Initial margin fluctuates with the volatility of the FHLBNY’s portfolio of cleared derivatives, and volatility is measured by the speed and severity of market price changes of the portfolio.  Initial margin and Variation margins are posted in cash by the FHLBNY.

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 business days or less.  Amounts were not material, and it was operationally not practical to separate receivable from payables, and net presentation was adopted.  No cash collateral was involved with the mortgage delivery commitments accounted as derivatives.

(b) Unsecured amounts represent Derivative assets and liabilities recorded in the Statements of Condition at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The amounts primarily represent (1) the aggregate credit support thresholds that were waived under ISDA Credit Support and Master netting agreements between the FHLBNY and derivative counterparties for uncleared derivative contracts, and (2) Initial margins posted by the FHLBNY to DCO on cleared derivative transactions.

(c) Non-Cash collateral received or pledged not offset — Amounts represent exposure arising from derivative positions with member counterparties where we acted as an intermediary, and a small amount of delivery commitments (see footnote a).  Amounts are collateralized by pledged non-cash collateral, primarily 1-4 family housing collateral.

The gross derivative exposures as represented by derivatives in fair value gain positions for the FHLBNY, before netting and offsetting cash collateral, were $582.5 million and $602.0 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  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 $496.2 million and $563.0 million at those dates.  These netting adjustments included $34.7 million and $143.2 million in cash posted by counterparties to mitigate the FHLBNY’s exposures at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the net exposures after offsetting adjustments were $86.5 million and $39.1 million at those dates.

Derivative counterparties are also exposed to credit losses resulting from potential non-performance risk of the FHLBNY with respect to derivative contracts, and their exposure, due to a potential default or non-performance 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).  Net fair values of derivatives in unrealized loss positions were $290.0 million and $345.2 million, after deducting $1.1 billion of cash collateral posted to the exposed counterparties at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  With respect to cleared derivatives, cash posted to the DCO were in excess of required margins, primarily due to the requirement to post Initial margin.  The DCO was exposed to the extent of the failure of the FHLBNY to deliver cash margin, which is typically paid one day following the execution of a cleared derivative, and that specific exposure was not significant at September 30, 2015.

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 the DCO, holding the FHLBNY’s cash as posted collateral, were analyzed from a credit performance perspective, and based on credit analysis and collateral requirements, the management of the FHLBNY does not anticipate any credit losses on its derivative agreements.

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.  If derivatives meet the hedging criteria under hedge accounting rules, including effectiveness measures, changes in fair value of the associated hedged financial instrument attributable to the risk being hedged (benchmark interest-rate risk, which is LIBOR for the FHLBNY) may also be recorded so that 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.  The net ineffectiveness from hedges that qualify under hedge accounting rules is 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.

The FHLBNY has elected to measure certain debt under the accounting designation for FVO, and has executed interest rate swaps as economic hedges of the debt.  While changes in fair values of the interest rate swap and the debt elected under the FVO are recorded in earnings in Other income (loss), the changes in the fair value changes of the swaps are recorded as a Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities.  Fair value changes of debt and advances elected under the FVO are recorded as an Unrealized (losses) or gains from Instruments held at fair value.

(a) Hedges of anticipated issuance of debt — Amounts represented changes recorded in AOCI and earnings during the periods.  The maximum period of time that the FHLBNY typically hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions in this program is between three and six months.  Open swap contracts under this hedging strategy were $44.0 million and $77.6 million in notional amounts at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The fair values recorded in AOCI were unrealized losses of $1.0 million and $0.2 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The amounts in AOCI from closed cash flow hedges under this strategy were net unrecognized losses of $5.7 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  It is expected that over the next 12 months, $2.0 million of the unrecognized loss in AOCI will be recognized as a yield adjustment (expense) to debt interest expense.

(b) Hedges of discount notes in rolling issuances — Amounts represented changes recorded in AOCI and earnings during the periods.  Open swap contracts under this strategy were $1.5 billion and $1.3 billion in notional amounts at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The fair values recorded in AOCI were net unrealized losses of $110.3 million and $80.8 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The cash flow hedges that mitigated exposure to the variability in future cash flows are typically for a maximum period of 15 years.  At September 30, 2015 the maximum exposure was 13 years.

(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.

Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio.

Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio.

Note 8.Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio.

Mortgage Partnership Finance® program loans, or (MPF®), are the mortgage loans held-for-portfolio.  The FHLBNY participates in the MPF program by purchasing and originating conventional mortgage loans from its participating members, hereafter referred to as Participating Financial Institutions (“PFI”).  The FHLBNY manages the liquidity, interest rate and prepayment option risk of the MPF loans, while the PFIs retain servicing activities, and may credit-enhance the portion of the loans participated to the FHLBNY.  No intermediary trust is involved.

The FHLBNY classifies mortgage loans as held for investment and, accordingly, reports them at their principal amount outstanding net of unamortized premiums, discounts, and unrealized gains and losses from loans initially classified as mortgage loan commitments.  Loans that are on non-accrual status and that are considered collateral-dependent are measured for impairment based on the estimated fair value of the underlying property less estimated selling costs.

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

	September 30, 2015					December 31, 2014
	Amount			Percentage of Total		Amount			Percentage of Total

Total mortgage loans held-for-portfolio, net of allowance for credit losses	$	2,461,944				$	2,129,239

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

(b) Balances represent unamortized fair value basis of closed delivery commitments.  A basis is recorded at the settlement of the loan and represents the difference in trade price paid for acquiring the loan and the price at the settlement date for a similar loan.  The basis is amortized as a yield adjustment to Interest income.

(c) Prior to January 1, 2015, the FHLBNY recorded a charge-off on a conventional loan generally at the foreclosure of a loan.  Beginning January 1, 2015, the FHLBNY adopted the guidance provided by the FHFA and accelerated the consideration for a charge-off when a loan was on a non-accrual status for 180 days or more.  Amount of the charge-off at 180 days is recognized to the extent the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated selling costs, is less than the recorded investment in the loan.  The adoption of the FHFA guidance resulted in the reclassification of $3.7 million in allowance for credit losses on loans that were on non-accrual status of 180 days or more at January 1, 2015.  The amount represented partial charge-off of such delinquent loans, and had no impact on earnings for the quarter as it was a reclassification within the Statement of Condition between the categories Allowance for credit losses and the Carrying values of the MPF loans.  For more information, see Note 2.  Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

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 First Loss Account (“FLA”), was estimated at $26.1 million and $22.1 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  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 $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $0.4 million and $1.3 million for the same periods in prior year.  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:

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

(2) 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.

(3) Losses that exceed the liquidation value of the real property and any PMI will be absorbed by the FHLBNY, limited to the amount of the FLA available under the Master Commitment.  For certain MPF products, the FHLBNY could recover previously absorbed losses by withholding future Credit Enhancement fees (“CE Fees”) otherwise payable to the PFI, and applying the amounts to recover losses previously absorbed.  In effect, the FHLBNY may recover losses allocated to the FLA from CE Fees.  The amount of CE Fees depends on the MPF product and the outstanding balances of loans funded in the Master Commitment. CE Fees payable (and potentially available for loss recovery) will decline as the outstanding loan balances in the Master Commitment declines.

(4) The second layer or portion of credit losses is incurred by the PFI and/or the Supplemental Mortgage Insurance (“SMI”) provider as follows:  The PFI absorbs losses in excess of any FLA up to the amount of the PFI’s credit obligation amount and/or to the SMI provider for MPF 125 Plus products if the PFI has selected SMI coverage.

(5) The third layer of losses is 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 FHLBNY performs periodic reviews of individual impaired mortgage loans within the MPF loan portfolio to identify the potential for credit losses inherent in the impaired loan to determine the likelihood of collection of the principal and interest.  Conventional mortgage loans that are past due 90 days or more, or modified, or loans that are in bankruptcy regardless of their delinquency status, are evaluated 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 (except the “First Loss Account”) to provide credit assurance to the FHLBNY.  Conventional mortgage loans, except Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) and Department of Veterans Affairs (“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.

When a loan is delinquent 90 days or more, our practice is to compare the liquidation value of the delinquent loan to its recorded investment, and to record the shortfall as an allowance for credit losses.  This methodology is applied on a loan level basis.  When a loan is delinquent 180 days or more, the FHLBNY will then charge to the allowance for credit losses (in the statements of condition) any excess carrying value over the net realizable value of the loan; the offset will be recorded to reduce the carrying value of the loan.  When the loan is foreclosed and the FHLBNY takes possession of real estate, the balance of the loan that has not been charged off will be transferred from the loan held for portfolio category to Real Estate owned category at the lower of carrying value or net realizable value of the foreclosed loan.

Only FHA- and VA-insured MPF loans are evaluated collectively.  FHA- and VA-insured mortgage loans have minimal inherent credit risk, and are therefore not considered for impairment at a loan-level.  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 there is no other available and reliable source of repayment.  If a loss is incurred, the FHLBNY would withhold CE fee payments to the PFI associated with the loan that is in a loss position.  The amount withheld would be commensurate with the credit loss and the loss layer for which the PFI has assumed the credit enhancement responsibility.  The FHLBNY’s loss experience has been insignificant and amounts of CE fees withheld have been insignificant.

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 table provides a roll-forward analysis of the allowance for credit losses (a) (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Allowance for credit losses:
Beginning balance	$	851		$	5,388		$	4,507		$	5,697
Charge-offs	(469		)	(1,056		)	(4,665		)	(1,493		)

Ending balance, individually evaluated for impairment	$	370		$	5,119		$	370		$	5,119
							September 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Recorded investment, end of period:
Individually evaluated for impairment
Impaired, with or without a related allowance							$	20,181		$	27,389
Not impaired, no related allowance							2,258,094			1,949,490
Total uninsured mortgage loans							$	2,278,275		$	1,976,879
Collectively evaluated for impairment (b)
Impaired, with or without a related allowance							$	3,651		$	1,275
Not impaired, no related allowance							192,130			165,978
Total insured mortgage loans							$	195,781		$	167,253

(a) Absent the implementation of the charge off policy at 180 day delinquency in the first quarter of 2015, allowances for credit losses on individual impaired loans have generally remained flat or lower, in line with improvements in collateral values, and consistent with the improving housing prices/liquidation values of real property securing impaired loans in the states of New York and New Jersey.  As noted previously, the FHLBNY adopted the FHFA guidance effective January 1, 2015 and accelerated the timing of recording a charge-off to the earlier of foreclosure or when a loan is 180 days delinquent.  As the FHLBNY records the initial allowance for credit losses on loans delinquent 90 days or more and continues to evaluate the allowance at least quarterly, the adoption of the guidance and acceleration of the charge-off did not result in additional credit allowance.  Adoption resulted in a reclassification of $3.7 million, reducing the allowance with a corresponding reduction in the recorded investment in impaired loans.

(b) FHA- and VA loans are collectively evaluated for impairment that acknowledges that the unpaid principal balances are insured.  Loans past due 90 days or more were considered for impairment but credit analysis indicated funds would be collected and no allowance was necessary.

Mortgage Loans — Non-performing Loans

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

	September 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Total Mortgage loans, net of allowance for credit losses (a)	$	2,461,944	$	2,129,239
Non-performing mortgage loans - Conventional (a)(b)	$	17,648	$	24,709
Insured MPF loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest (a)(b)	$	3,481	$	1,217

(a) Includes loans classified as special mention, sub-standard, doubtful or loss under regulatory criteria, net of amounts charged-off if delinquent for 180 days.

(b) Data in this table represents unpaid principal balance, and would not agree to data reported in other tables at “recorded investment,” which includes interest receivable.

Mortgage Loans — Interest on Non-performing Loans

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 (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
Interest contractually due (a)	$	328	$	381	$	942	$	1,056
Interest actually received	296		354		861		994
Shortfall	$	32	$	27	$	81	$	62

(a) Represents the amount of interest accrual on non-accrual uninsured loans that were not recorded as income.  Interest received is recorded as a liability as the FHLBNY considers such amounts received as an advance from servicers that would be subject to repayment at foreclosure, and cash received remains in Other liabilities until legal determination is made at foreclosure.  For more information about the FHLBNY’s policy on non-accrual loans, see Note 1.  Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates.

The following tables summarize the recorded investment in impaired loans (excluding insured FHA/VA 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)	$	27,389	$	27,365	$	4,507	$	28,271

(a) Based on analysis of the nature of risks of the FHLBNY’s investments in MPF loans, including its methodologies for identifying and measuring impairment, management 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) Interest received is not recorded as Interest income if an uninsured loan is past due 90 days or more.  Cash received is recorded as a liability on the assumption that cash was remitted by the servicer to the FHLBNY that could potentially be recouped by the borrower in a foreclosure.

(d) Represents average recorded investment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

(a) Serious delinquency rate is defined as recorded investments in loans that are 90 days or more past due or in the process of foreclosure expressed as a percentage of total loan class.

(b) Loans discharged from Chapter 7 bankruptcies are considered as TDR.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) and MPF Modification Standards.  Troubled debt restructuring is considered to have occurred when a concession is granted to a borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties and that concession would not have been otherwise considered.  Effective August 1, 2009, the MPF program introduced a temporary loan payment modification plan for participating PFIs, which was initially available until December 31, 2011 and has been extended through December 31, 2015.  This modification plan was made available to homeowners currently in default or imminent danger of default and only a few MPF loans had been modified under the plan and outstanding at September 30, 2015.  Due to the insignificant numbers of loans modified and considered to be TDR, forgiveness and other information with respect to the modifications have been omitted.

Loans modified under this program are considered impaired.  The allowance for credit losses on those impaired loans were evaluated individually, and the allowance balances were $0.1 million and $0.5 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  A MPF loan involved in the troubled debt restructuring program is individually evaluated by the FHLBNY for impairment when determining its related allowance for credit losses.  When a TDR is executed, the loan status becomes current, but the loan will continue to be classified as a non-performing TDR loan and will continue to be evaluated individually for credit losses until the MPF loan is performing to its original terms.  The credit loss would be based on 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.

Loans discharged from bankruptcy — The FHLBNY includes MPF loans discharged from Chapter 7 bankruptcy as TDRs; $10.8 million and $10.0 million of such loans were outstanding at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  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 for credit impairment only if past due 90 days or more, and $0.8 million were deemed impaired due to their past due delinquency status at September 30, 2015.  The allowance for credit losses associated with those loans was $0.1 million.

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

	September 30, 2015						December 31, 2014
Recorded Investment Outstanding	Performing		Non- performing		Total TDR		Performing		Non- performing		Total TDR

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.  The FHLBNY is exempted from maintaining any required clearing balance at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Compensating Balances

Beginning in August 2015, the FHLBNY maintained compensating collected cash balances at a financial institution counterparty in return for certain fee based safekeeping and back office operational services that the counterparty provides to the FHLBNY.  There are no restrictions on the withdrawal of funds.  The balance at September 30, 2015 was $245.3 million.

Pass-through Deposit Reserves

The FHLBNY acts as a pass-through correspondent for member institutions who are required by banking regulations to deposit reserves with the Federal Reserve Banks.  Pass-through reserves deposited with Federal Reserve Banks on behalf of the members by the FHLBNY were $45.0 million and $38.4 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The offsetting liabilities due to members were recorded in Other liabilities in the Statements of Condition.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Note   2.Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value (NAV) per Share (or its Equivalent).  In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent), which is intended to address diversity in practice related to how certain investments measured at net asset value (“NAV”) are reported within the financial statement footnotes.  The new guidance removes the requirement to categorize investments measured under the current NAV practical expedient within the fair value hierarchy for all investments.  The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the NAV practical expedient.  Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  A reporting entity should apply the amendments retrospectively to all periods presented.  The FHLBNY owns a grantor trust, which invests in bond and equity funds that are readily marketable at their NAVs, which are considered as fair values, not a practical expedient.  The application of this guidance had no impact on the categorization of investments within the fair value hierarchy in the financial statement footnotes, or the statements of condition or results of operations.  For further information, see Note 16.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.  In April 2015, the FASB ASU No. 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement to add guidance to Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software. The ASU clarifies a customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement, and provides guidance to customers on determining whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license that should be accounted for as internal-use software.  If the arrangement does not contain a software license, it would be accounted for as a service contract. This guidance becomes effective for the FHLBNY for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted.  The FHLBNY can elect to adopt the amendments either (1) prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or (2) retrospectively.  The FHLBNY is in the process of evaluating this guidance and its effect on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, but does not expect the impact to be material.

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-imputation of interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.  The ASU requires a reclassification on the statement of condition of debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability from other assets to a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.  The intent is to eliminate the different presentation requirements of debt issuance cost and debt discounts and premiums, which have caused confusion among users of financial statements.  The ASU becomes effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 (January 1, 2016 for the FHLBNY), and early adoption is permitted for the financial statements that have not been previously issued.  The period-specific effects as a result of applying this guidance are required to be adjusted retrospectively to each individual period presented on the statement of condition.  The FHLBNY is currently evaluating this guidance and its effect on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, but does not expect the impact to be material.

Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.  In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) final guidance that requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, disclose that fact in the footnotes.  Management will also be required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans to alleviate that doubt.  The new standard defines substantial doubt as when it is probable (i.e., likely) based on management’s assessment of relevant qualitative and quantitative information and judgment that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year of the date the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued, when applicable).  The standard is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual and interim periods thereafter.  While early adoption is permitted, the FHLBNY has elected not to early adopt and is currently evaluating ASU No. 2014-15, but does not expect the impact of the required disclosures to be material.

Revenue Recognition.   In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  The FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) initiated a joint project to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and IFRS that would remove inconsistencies and improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and industries, and provide more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements.  The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  For a public entity, the effective date of the amendments under this ASU, as issued, was for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period.  On April 29, 2015, the FASB issued for public comment a proposed Accounting Standards Update (ASU) that would defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year, and would permit entities to early adopt the standard.  The comment period ended on May 29, 2015, and the FASB approved the proposed deferral period to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (January 1, 2018 for the FHLBNY), and reporting entities may choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date.  The FHLBNY is in the process of evaluating this guidance.

Employee Retirement Plans.

Note 14.Employee Retirement Plans.

The FHLBNY 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 FHLBNY maintains a non-qualified 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.  In the first quarter of 2014, the Board of Directors of the FHLBNY voted to make changes to the Pentegra DB Plan and the BEP plan effective July 1, 2014 for new employees hired on or after the effective date; changes to the plans will reduce obligations and expenses for the new employees when the employees become eligible for the pension benefits; changes to the plans had no significant impact on the financial obligations as of September 30, 2015 or any periods in this report.

Plan amendments were also made to the Retiree Medical Benefits Plan for retired employees and for eligible employees.  Effective January 1, 2015, the Retiree Medical Benefits Plan is available to active employees who have completed 10 years of employment service at the FHLBNY and attained age 55 as of that date.  For those employees who qualified to remain in the plan, the current Defined Dollar Plan subsidy was reduced by 50% for all service earned after December 31, 2014, and the annual “Cost of Living Adjustment” was eliminated.  Retired employees remain eligible to participate in the Retiree Medical Benefits Plan.

For more information about employee retirement plans and plan changes and amendments, see Note 14. Employee Retirement Plans in the financial statements included in the most recent Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

Net periodic postretirement health benefit cost (a)	$	39		$	(7	)	$	116		$	506

(a) The net periodic benefit cost has declined in most periods subsequent to the first quarter of 2014 as a result of negative plan amendments (as defined in Accounting Standards Codification ASC 715-60-55) that reduced plan obligations by $8.8 million at March 31, 2014; the resulting gain is being amortized over an actuarially determined period, reducing net periodic benefit costs.

Key assumptions (a) and other information to determine current year’s obligation for the postretirement health benefit plan were as follows:

Consolidated Obligations.

Consolidated Obligations.

Note 10.Consolidated Obligations.

Consolidated obligations 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 $0.9 trillion and $0.8 trillion as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

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; 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:

(a) Hedge valuation basis adjustments represent changes in the fair values due to changes in LIBOR on fixed-rate bonds in a Fair value hedge.

(b) Hedge basis adjustments on terminated hedges represent the unamortized balances of valuation basis of fixed-rate bonds that were previously in a qualifying hedge relationship.  The valuation basis at the time of hedge termination is amortized as a yield adjustment through Interest expense.

(c) Valuation adjustments represent changes in the entire fair values of bonds and discount notes elected under the FVO.

(a) Weighted average rate represents the weighted average contractual coupons of bonds, unadjusted for swaps.

(b) Amortization of bond premiums and discounts resulted in net reduction of Interest expense by $4.7 million and $15.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $4.2 million and $22.1 million for the same periods in the prior year.

(c) Hedge valuation basis adjustments represent changes in the fair values due to changes in LIBOR on fixed-rate bonds in a Fair value hedge.

(d) Hedge basis adjustments on terminated hedges represent the unamortized balances of valuation basis of fixed-rate bonds that were previously in a fair value hedging relationship.  Generally, when a hedging relationship is de-designated, the valuation basis is no longer adjusted for changes in the valuation of the debt for changes in the benchmark rate; instead, the basis is amortized over the debt’s remaining life, so that at its maturity, the unamortized basis is reversed to $0.  The unamortized basis was $147.0 million at September 30, 2015, and $119.5 million at December 31, 2014.  Amortization was recorded as a yield adjustment, which reduced Interest expenses by $1.4 million and $4.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $0.8 million and $2.1 million for the same periods in the prior year.

(e) Valuation adjustments represent changes in the entire fair values of bonds elected under the FVO.

(a) The FHLBNY has a grantor trust, the intent of which is to set aside cash to meet current and future payments for a supplemental unfunded pension plan.  Neither the pension plan nor employees of the FHLBNY own the trust.  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 (NAVs) are readily available and investments are redeemable at short notice.  NAVs are the fair values of the funds in the grantor trust.  The mutual funds used to manage the assets of the Grantor trust will be sufficiently liquid to enable the trust to meet all future liabilities.  Liquidity shall be assured by keeping an adequate amount of short-term investments in the portfolio to accommodate the cash needs of the trust.  Dividend income and gains and losses from sales of funds were $120.2 thousand and $936.8 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $37.8 thousand and $194.0 thousand for the same periods of prior year and were recorded in Other income.

Unrealized Losses — MBS Classified as AFS Securities

No MBS security was in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2015 or at December 31, 2014.

Impairment Analysis of AFS Securities — The FHLBNY’s portfolio of MBS classified as AFS is comprised primarily of GSE-issued collateralized mortgage obligations, which are “pass through” securities, and floating rate CMBS.  The FHLBNY evaluates its GSE-issued securities 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 value (a) of investments classified as AFS, by contractual maturity, were as follows (in thousands):

Federal Funds Sold, Interest-bearing Deposits, and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell.

Federal Funds Sold, Interest-bearing Deposits, and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell.

Federal Funds Sold, Interest-bearing Deposits, and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell.

Note   4.Federal Funds Sold, Interest-bearing Deposits, and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell.

Federal funds sold — Federal funds sold are unsecured advances to third parties.

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

The FHLBNY had deposited $1.1 billion in cash at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 with derivative counterparties and these amounts earned interest generally at the overnight Federal funds rate.  As provided undermaster netting agreements or under a legal netting opinion, the cash posted was reclassified and recorded as a deduction to Derivative liabilities.  Cash collateral or margin posted by the FHLBNY in excess of the fair value exposures were classified as a Derivative asset.  See Credit Risk due to non-performance by counterparties in Note 15.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

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 collateral is a function of the liquidity and quality of the collateral.  The collateral is typically in the form of securities that meet the FHLBNY’s credit quality standards, are highly-rated and readily marketable.  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 re-pledge the securities received.  No adjustments for instrument-specific credit risk were deemed necessary as market values of collateral were in excess of principal amounts loaned.

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding balances of Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell were $8.9 billion and $0.8 billion that matured overnight.  Of these amounts, $8.7 billion and $0.6 billion at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were executed through a tri-party arrangement that involved transfer of overnight funds to a segregated safekeeping account at the Bank of New York (“BONY”); BONY, acting as an independent agent on behalf of the FHLBNY and the counterparty to the transactions, assumes the responsibility of receiving eligible securities as collateral and releasing funds to the counterparty.  At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, U.S. Treasury securities, market values of $8.7 billion and $0.6 billion were received at BONY to collateralize the overnight investments.

The remaining overnight investments, $0.2 billion were executed bilaterally with counterparties at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and were collateralized by U.S Treasury securities with market values of $0.2 billion at those dates; securities were pledged to the FHLBNY’s custodial safekeeping account.

Securities purchased under agreements to resell averaged $2.1 billion and $1.7 billion in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, and $0.9 billion in the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.  Transaction balances averaged $1.3 billion and $0.9 billion in the same periods in 2014.  Transactions recorded as Securities purchased under agreements to resell (reverse repos) were accounted as collateralized financing transactions.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, interest income from securities purchased under agreements to resell were $0.5 million and $1.0 million, compared to $0.2 million and $0.3 million in the same periods in the prior year.

(a) Unrecognized gross holding gains and losses represent the difference between fair value and carrying value.

(b) Commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) are Agency issued CMBS, collateralized by income-producing “multifamily properties”.  Eligible property types include standard conventional multifamily apartments, affordable multifamily housing, seniors housing, student housing, military housing, and rural rent housing.

(c) The amounts represent non-agency private-label mortgage- and asset-backed securities.

(d) Amortized cost — For securities that were deemed to be OTTI, amortized cost represents unamortized cost less credit OTTI, net of credit OTTI reversed due to improvements in cash flows.

Certain non-Agency Private label MBS are insured by Ambac Assurance Corp (“Ambac”), MBIA Insurance Corp (“MBIA”) and Assured Guarantee Municipal Corp., (“AGM”).  Assumptions by the FHLBNY on the extent of expected reliance by the FHLBNY on insurance support by Ambac and MBIA to make whole expected cash shortfalls are noted in Monoline insurance in subsequent paragraph within this footnote.

Securities Pledged

The FHLBNY had pledged MBS with an amortized cost basis of $9.1 million and $10.2 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 to the FDIC in connection with deposits maintained by the FDIC at the FHLBNY.  The FDIC does not have rights to sell or repledge the collateral unless the FHLBNY defaults under the terms of its deposit arrangements with the FDIC.

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 these tables will not equal unrecognized losses in the Major Security Types tables.  Unrealized losses are calculated after adjusting for credit OTTI.  In the previous tables, unrecognized losses are adjusted for credit and non-credit OTTI.

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the FHLBNY’s investments in housing finance agency bonds had gross unrealized losses totaling $43.7 million and $49.9 million.  These 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 reviewed the portfolio and has observed that the bonds are performing to their contractual terms, and has concluded that, as of September 30, 2015, all of the gross unrealized losses on its housing finance agency bonds are temporary because the underlying collateral and credit enhancements are sufficient to protect the FHLBNY from losses based on current expectations.  As a result, the FHLBNY 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 FHLBNY 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, (collectively GSE-issued securities), by considering the creditworthiness and performance of the debt securities and the strength of the GSEs’ guarantees of the securities.  Based on 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.

Management evaluates its investments in private-label MBS (“PLMBS”) for OTTI on a quarterly basis by performing cash flow tests on its entire portfolio of PLMBS.  For more information about cash flow impairment assessment methodology, see Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

OTTI  — One PLMBS, which had been determined to be OTTI in a prior year, was re-impaired, and credit OTTI of $61 thousand was recorded at June 30, 2015 and $29 thousand was recorded at September 30, 2015.  The re-impairments were due to further deterioration in the credit performance metrics of the security.

The following table presents the key characteristics of one security that was determined to be re-impaired or OTTI (in thousands):

	Three months ended				Three months ended						Nine months ended
	September 30, 2015				September 30, 2015						September 30, 2015
	OTTI (a)				OTTI (b)						OTTI (b)
			Fair		Credit			Non-credit			Credit			Non-credit
Security Classification	UPB		Value		Loss			Loss			Loss			Loss
RMBS-Prime	$	4,821	$	3,862	$	(29	)	$	(39	)	$	(90	)	$	(227	)
Total Securities	$	4,821	$	3,862	$	(29	)	$	(39	)	$	(90	)	$	(227	)

(a) Unpaid principal balance and fair value of the security deemed to be OTTI at the OTTI determination as of the end of the period.

(b) Represent cumulative OTTI recorded at the OTTI determination quarter end dates.  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 the fair value loss of an OTTI security, is recognized in AOCI. 

Based on cash flow testing, the Bank believes no additional OTTI exists for the remaining investments at September 30, 2015.  The Bank’s conclusion is also based upon multiple factors, but not limited to the expected performance of the underlying collateral, and the evaluation of the fundamentals of the issuers’ financial condition.  Management has not made a decision to sell such securities at September 30, 2015, and has concluded that it will not be required to sell such securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis of the securities.

The following table provides rollforward information about the cumulative credit component of OTTI recognized as a charge to earnings related to held-to-maturity securities (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Beginning balance	$	33,350		$	36,250		$	34,893		$	36,543

Ending balance	$	32,564		$	35,668		$	32,564		$	35,668

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 PLMBS, and the analysis of the securities 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 FHLBNY has determined that for bond insurer AGM, insurance guarantees can be relied upon to cover projected shortfalls.  For bond insurer MBIA, the reliance period is through June 30, 2016.  For bond insurer Ambac, the reliance period is through June 30, 2019 and is further limited to cover 45% of shortfalls.

Significant Inputs

For determining the fair values of all MBS, the FHLBNY has obtained pricing from four pricing services; the prices were clustered, averaged, and then assessed qualitatively before adopting the “final price”.  Disaggregation of the Level 3 bonds is by collateral type supporting the credit structure of the PLMBS, and the FHLBNY deems that no further disaggregation is necessary for a qualitative understanding of the sensitivity of fair values.  The table below provides a distribution of the prices, and the final price adopted for determining OTTI for the one security in the third quarter of 2015 (dollars in thousands except for price):

(c) Valuation adjustments represent changes in the entire fair values of advances elected under the FVO.

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

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; and the 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 FHLBNY 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 FHLBNY has not provided an allowance for credit losses on advances.  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 19.  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.  Advances borrowed by insurance companies accounted for 18.7% and 17.4% of total advances at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  Lending to insurance companies poses a number of unique risks not present in lending to federally insured depository institutions.  For example, there is no single federal regulator for insurance companies.  They are supervised by state regulators and subject to state insurance codes and regulations.  There is uncertainty about whether a state insurance commissioner would try to void the FHLBNY’s claims on collateral in the event of an insurance company failure.

As with all members, insurance companies are also required to purchase the FHLBNY’s capital stock as a prerequisite to membership.  The FHLBNY’s management takes a number of steps to mitigate the unique risk of lending to insurance companies.  At the time of membership, the FHLBNY requires an insurance company to be highly-rated and to meet the FHLBNY’s credit quality standards.  The FHLBNY performs credit analysis of insurance borrowers quarterly.  The FHLBNY also requires member insurance companies to pledge, as collateral for the FHLBNY’s custody, highly-rated readily marketable securities and mortgages that meet the FHLBNY’s credit quality standards.  Appropriate minimum margins are applied to all collateral, and the margins are reviewed quarterly to adjust for price volatility.

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, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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’s 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 FHLBNY were fully collateralized throughout their entire term.  The total of collateral pledged to the FHLBNY includes excess collateral pledged above the minimum collateral requirements.  However, a “Maximum Lendable Value” is established to ensure that the FHLBNY has sufficient eligible collateral securing credit extensions.

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

	September 30, 2015					December 31, 2014
	Amount			Percentage of Total		Amount			Percentage of Total
Real Estate(a):
Fixed medium-term single-family mortgages	$	293,403		12.14	%	$	327,112		15.63	%
Fixed long-term single-family mortgages	2,122,982			87.86		1,765,661			84.37
Multi-family mortgages	61			—		63			—
Total par value	2,416,446			100.00	%	2,092,836			100.00	%
Unamortized premiums	46,191					41,046
Unamortized discounts	(2,228		)			(2,544		)
Basis adjustment (b)	1,905					2,408
Total mortgage loans held-for-portfolio	2,462,314					2,133,746
Allowance for credit losses (c)	(370		)			(4,507		)
Total mortgage loans held-for-portfolio, net of allowance for credit losses	$	2,461,944				$	2,129,239

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

(b) Balances represent unamortized fair value basis of closed delivery commitments.  A basis is recorded at the settlement of the loan and represents the difference in trade price paid for acquiring the loan and the price at the settlement date for a similar loan.  The basis is amortized as a yield adjustment to Interest income.

(c) Prior to January 1, 2015, the FHLBNY recorded a charge-off on a conventional loan generally at the foreclosure of a loan.  Beginning January 1, 2015, the FHLBNY adopted the guidance provided by the FHFA and accelerated the consideration for a charge-off when a loan was on a non-accrual status for 180 days or more.  Amount of the charge-off at 180 days is recognized to the extent the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated selling costs, is less than the recorded investment in the loan.  The adoption of the FHFA guidance resulted in the reclassification of $3.7 million in allowance for credit losses on loans that were on non-accrual status of 180 days or more at January 1, 2015.  The amount represented partial charge-off of such delinquent loans, and had no impact on earnings for the quarter as it was a reclassification within the Statement of Condition between the categories Allowance for credit losses and the Carrying values of the MPF loans.  For more information, see Note 2.  Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Roll-forward analysis of allowance for credit losses

The following table provides a roll-forward analysis of the allowance for credit losses (a) (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Allowance for credit losses:
Beginning balance	$	851		$	5,388		$	4,507		$	5,697
Charge-offs	(469		)	(1,056		)	(4,665		)	(1,493		)
Recoveries	—			837			—			938
(Reversal)/Provision for credit losses on mortgage loans	(12		)	(50		)	528			(23		)
Ending balance	$	370		$	5,119		$	370		$	5,119
Ending balance, individually evaluated for impairment	$	370		$	5,119		$	370		$	5,119
							September 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Recorded investment, end of period:
Individually evaluated for impairment
Impaired, with or without a related allowance							$	20,181		$	27,389
Not impaired, no related allowance							2,258,094			1,949,490
Total uninsured mortgage loans							$	2,278,275		$	1,976,879
Collectively evaluated for impairment (b)
Impaired, with or without a related allowance							$	3,651		$	1,275
Not impaired, no related allowance							192,130			165,978
Total insured mortgage loans							$	195,781		$	167,253

(a) Absent the implementation of the charge off policy at 180 day delinquency in the first quarter of 2015, allowances for credit losses on individual impaired loans have generally remained flat or lower, in line with improvements in collateral values, and consistent with the improving housing prices/liquidation values of real property securing impaired loans in the states of New York and New Jersey.  As noted previously, the FHLBNY adopted the FHFA guidance effective January 1, 2015 and accelerated the timing of recording a charge-off to the earlier of foreclosure or when a loan is 180 days delinquent.  As the FHLBNY records the initial allowance for credit losses on loans delinquent 90 days or more and continues to evaluate the allowance at least quarterly, the adoption of the guidance and acceleration of the charge-off did not result in additional credit allowance.  Adoption resulted in a reclassification of $3.7 million, reducing the allowance with a corresponding reduction in the recorded investment in impaired loans.

(b) FHA- and VA loans are collectively evaluated for impairment that acknowledges that the unpaid principal balances are insured.  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 impaired mortgage loans

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

	September 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Total Mortgage loans, net of allowance for credit losses (a)	$	2,461,944	$	2,129,239
Non-performing mortgage loans - Conventional (a)(b)	$	17,648	$	24,709
Insured MPF loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest (a)(b)	$	3,481	$	1,217

(a) Includes loans classified as special mention, sub-standard, doubtful or loss under regulatory criteria, net of amounts charged-off if delinquent for 180 days.

(b) Data in this table represents unpaid principal balance, and would not agree to data reported in other tables at “recorded investment,” which includes interest receivable.

Summary of interest income not recognized in earnings and actual cash received against interest due, but not recognized

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 (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
Interest contractually due (a)	$	328	$	381	$	942	$	1,056
Interest actually received	296		354		861		994
Shortfall	$	32	$	27	$	81	$	62

(a) Represents the amount of interest accrual on non-accrual uninsured loans that were not recorded as income.  Interest received is recorded as a liability as the FHLBNY considers such amounts received as an advance from servicers that would be subject to repayment at foreclosure, and cash received remains in Other liabilities until legal determination is made at foreclosure.  For more information about the FHLBNY’s policy on non-accrual loans, see Note 1.  Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates.

Summary of recorded investment in impaired loans, unpaid principal balance and related allowance, and average recorded investment of impaired loans

The following tables summarize the recorded investment in impaired loans (excluding insured FHA/VA 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)	$	27,389	$	27,365	$	4,507	$	28,271

(a) Based on analysis of the nature of risks of the FHLBNY’s investments in MPF loans, including its methodologies for identifying and measuring impairment, management 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) Interest received is not recorded as Interest income if an uninsured loan is past due 90 days or more.  Cash received is recorded as a liability on the assumption that cash was remitted by the servicer to the FHLBNY that could potentially be recouped by the borrower in a foreclosure.

(d) Represents average recorded investment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

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

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2015

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, membership and activity-based capital stock.

Membership stock is issued to meet membership stock purchase requirements.  The FHLBNY requires member institutions to maintain membership stock based on a percentage of the member’s mortgage-related assets.

Activity based stock is issued on a percentage of outstanding balances of advances, MPF loans and certain commitments.

Membership and Activity-based Class B capital stock have the same voting rights and dividend rates.  Members can redeem Class B stock by giving five years notice.  The FHLBNY’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 non-permanent 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, and 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.  If the FHLBNY became classified into a capital classification other than adequately capitalized, the Bank could be adversely impacted by the corrective action requirements for that capital classification.  For more information about the capital rules under the Finance Agency regulations and a discussion of any corrective actions, see Note 12.  Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings in the audited financial statements included in our most recent Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

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

	September 30, 2015						December 31, 2014
	Required (d)			Actual			Required (d)			Actual
Regulatory capital requirements:
Risk-based capital (a)(e)	$	611,270		$	6,460,739		$	631,508		$	6,682,045
Total capital-to-asset ratio	4.00		%	5.25		%	4.00		%	5.03		%
Total capital (b)	$	4,917,863		$	6,460,739		$	5,313,015		$	6,682,045
Leverage ratio	5.00		%	7.88		%	5.00		%	7.55		%
Leverage capital (c )	$	6,147,328		$	9,691,108		$	6,641,268		$	10,023,068

(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 and consistent with guidance provided by the banking regulators to maintain the risk weights at AAA 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.

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.

Anticipated redemptions of mandatorily redeemable capital stock in the following table assumes 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):

Restricted Retained Earnings

Under the FHLBank Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement (“Capital Agreement”), each FHLBank is required to set aside 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.  The Capital Agreement is intended to enhance the capital position of each FHLBank.  These restricted retained earnings will not be available to pay dividends.  Retained earnings included $269.4 million and $220.1 million as restricted retained earnings in the FHLBNY’s Total Capital at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Commitments and Contingencies.

Note 17.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 FHLBNY 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 were par amounts of $0.9 trillion and $0.8 trillion at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

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 financingarrangement 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 approximately $11.5 billion and $9.5 billion as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and had 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 are recorded in Other liabilities and were less than $1.0 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

MPF Program — Under the MPF program, the FHLBNY was unconditionally obligated to purchase $24.0 million and $15.5 million of mortgage loans at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  Commitments were generally for periods not to exceed 45 business days.  Such commitments were recorded as derivatives at their fair values in compliance with the provisions of the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging.  The FHLBNY also has executed conditional agreements with its members in the MPF program to purchase $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion of mortgage loans at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Derivative contracts — When the FHLBNY executes derivatives with major financial institutions that are not eligible to be cleared under the CFTC rules, the FHLBNY and the swap counterparties enter into bilateral collateral agreements.  When the FHLBNY executes derivatives that are eligible to be cleared, the FHLBNY and the FCMs, acting as agents of Derivative Clearing Organization or DCO, would enter into margin agreements.  When counterparties (including the DCOs) are exposed, the FHLBNY posts cash collateral to mitigate the counterparty’s credit exposure; the FHLBNY had posted $1.1 billion in cash with derivative counterparties as pledged collateral at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and these amounts were reported as a deduction to Derivative liabilities.  Further information is provided in Note 15.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

(a) Contractual obligations related to interest payments on long-term debt were calculated by applying the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding long-term debt at September 30, 2015 to the contractual payment obligations on long-term debt for each forecasted period disclosed in the table.  The FHLBNY’s overall weighted average contractual interest rate for long-term debt was 0.83% at September 30, 2015.  Callable bonds contain an exercise date or a series of exercise dates that may result in a shorter redemption period.  Redemption dates of mandatorily redeemable capital stock are assumed to correspond to maturity dates of member advances.  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.

(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.  Also includes projected payment obligations for pension plans.  For more information about these employee retirement plans, see Note 14.  Employee Retirement Plans.

For premises lease obligations, remote backup site and pension commitments, see Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

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

Impact of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers

From time to time, the FHLBNY 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 FHLBNY that, if established, are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the FHLBNY’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 (the “Master Agreement”) with a total notional amount of $16.5 billion at the time of termination of the FHLBNY’s derivative transactions with LBSF on September 18, 2008 (the “Early Termination Date”).  The net amount that the FHLBNY claimed was due after giving effect to obligations that were due LBSF and the FHLBNY collateral posted with LBSF was approximately $65 million.  The FHLBNY 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 FHLBNY fully reserved the LBSF and LBHI receivables as the dispute with LBSF described below makes the timing and the amount of any recoveries uncertain.

As previously reported, the FHLBNY received a Derivatives ADR Notice from LBSF dated July 23, 2010 claiming that the FHLBNY 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 FHLBNY 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 claimed that the FHLBNY was 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 FHLBNY 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.

The FHLBNY and LBSF resumed mediation on February 10, 2015.  The mediation concluded in April 2015 without a settlement.  On May 5, 2015, the FHLBNY submitted a proposed amendment to its proof of claim to reduce the FHLBNY’s claim of approximately $65 million to approximately $45 million.  This figure represents the FHLBNY’s claim for the net amount due to the FHLBNY by LBSF, after giving effect to collateral that the FHLBNY posted with LBSF.  A similar adjustment was also proposed in connection with the FHLBNY’s related proof of claim against LBHI.  On June 1, 2015, the FHLBNY filed a motion seeking the Court’s permission to file those amended claims with the Bankruptcy Court.  Upon LBHI’s consent, on July 21, 2015, the Court entered an order authorizing the claim amendments, which were filed on August 3, 2015.

On May 13, 2015, LBHI, in its capacity as Plan Administrator on behalf of itself and LBSF, filed a complaint against the FHLBNY in the Bankruptcy Court, alleging, among other things, breach of contract related to the Master Agreement.  Among other things, the complaint seeks damages in excess of $150 million, plus unspecified pre-judgment contractual interest.  On July 17, 2015, the FHLBNY filed a motion to dismiss certain of the claims alleged in LBHI’s complaint, which was denied by an order dated September 24, 2015.  The parties are now engaged in pre-trial proceedings, including the exchange of documents, and trial is currently scheduled to commence in the spring of 2017.

The FHLBNY intends to vigorously defend against LBHI’s complaint and to pursue its claims against LBSF and LBHI, as guarantor.  While the FHLBNY believes that LBHI’s complaint is without merit, the amount the FHLBNY actually recovers or pays will ultimately be decided in the course of this litigation.

(a) Derivative instruments without legal right of offset were synthetic derivatives representing forward mortgage delivery commitments of 45 business days or less.  Amounts were not material, and it was operationally not practical to separate receivable from payables, and net presentation was adopted.  No cash collateral was involved with the mortgage delivery commitments accounted as derivatives.

(b) Unsecured amounts represent Derivative assets and liabilities recorded in the Statements of Condition at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The amounts primarily represent (1) the aggregate credit support thresholds that were waived under ISDA Credit Support and Master netting agreements between the FHLBNY and derivative counterparties for uncleared derivative contracts, and (2) Initial margins posted by the FHLBNY to DCO on cleared derivative transactions.

(c) Non-Cash collateral received or pledged not offset — Amounts represent exposure arising from derivative positions with member counterparties where we acted as an intermediary, and a small amount of delivery commitments (see footnote a).  Amounts are collateralized by pledged non-cash collateral, primarily 1-4 family housing collateral.

(a) Hedges of anticipated issuance of debt — Amounts represented changes recorded in AOCI and earnings during the periods.  The maximum period of time that the FHLBNY typically hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions in this program is between three and six months.  Open swap contracts under this hedging strategy were $44.0 million and $77.6 million in notional amounts at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The fair values recorded in AOCI were unrealized losses of $1.0 million and $0.2 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The amounts in AOCI from closed cash flow hedges under this strategy were net unrecognized losses of $5.7 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  It is expected that over the next 12 months, $2.0 million of the unrecognized loss in AOCI will be recognized as a yield adjustment (expense) to debt interest expense.

(b) Hedges of discount notes in rolling issuances — Amounts represented changes recorded in AOCI and earnings during the periods.  Open swap contracts under this strategy were $1.5 billion and $1.3 billion in notional amounts at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The fair values recorded in AOCI were net unrealized losses of $110.3 million and $80.8 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The cash flow hedges that mitigated exposure to the variability in future cash flows are typically for a maximum period of 15 years.  At September 30, 2015 the maximum exposure was 13 years.

(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.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates.

Note   1.Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and with the instructions provided by the SEC.  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, 2014 included in Form 10-K filed on March 23, 2015.

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 FHLBNY’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 23, 2015, which contains a summary of the Bank’s significant accounting policies and estimates.

Recently Adopted Significant Accounting Policies

Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.  In June, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) — Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.  The FASB’s objective in issuing the amendments in this ASU was to respond to stakeholders’ concerns about current accounting and disclosures for repurchase agreements and similar transactions.  Stakeholders expressed concern that current accounting guidance distinguishes between repurchase agreements that settle at the same time as the maturity of the transferred financial asset and those that settle any time before maturity.  Under pre-existing U.S. GAAP, a repurchase agreement that would mature at the same time as the transferred financial asset (a repurchase-to-maturity transaction) generally was not considered to maintain the transferor’s effective control.

The ASU required two accounting changes.  First, the amendments changed the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting.  Second, for repurchase financing arrangements, the amendments require separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, resulting in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement.  In addition, this guidance requires additional disclosures, particularly on transfers accounted for as sales that are economically similar to repurchase agreements and on the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings.  This guidance became effective for the FHLBNY on January 1, 2015.  The adoption of the amended standards did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption as the FHLBNY’s outstanding transaction had been accounted for as secured lending and consistent with the ASU.  The disclosure for transactions accounted for as secured borrowings was required for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods after March 15, 2015.  The FHLBNY’s disclosures with respect to the secured borrowing comply with the ASU beginning with the second quarter of 2015.

Framework for Adversely Classifying Loans, Other Real Estate Owned, and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention.  In April 2012, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”), the FHLBank’s regulator, issued Advisory Bulletin 2012-02 (“Advisory Bulletin”) that provided two part guidance.  The first guidance, which addresses the classification of assets, was adopted on January 1, 2014 as required.  Adoption had no impact on the results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

The second guidance prescribes the timing of asset charge-offs if an asset is at 180 days or more past due, subject to certain conditions.  The guidance was effective January 1, 2015.  Under the FHLBNY’s pre-existing estimating methodology for the timing of charge-offs, the FHLBNY recorded a charge-off on MPF loans based upon the occurrence of a confirming event, 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 accelerated the timing of charge-offs to the earlier of 180 days of delinquency or a confirming event.   The FHLBNY records a credit loss allowance on a loan level basis on all MPF loans delinquent 90 days or greater (for loans in bankruptcy status, an allowance is recorded regardless of delinquency status).  The amount of the allowance is based on the shortfall of the value of collateral (less estimated selling costs) to the recorded investment in the impaired loan.  As the FHLBNY begins to establish the allowance of credit losses at 90 days delinquency, the impact of adoption was not significant to its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.  At January 1, 2015, the adoption date, the credit loss allowance on mortgage-loans that were past-due 180 days or more totaled $3.7 million, which amount was charged off, reducing the allowance for credit losses and a corresponding reduction in total loans, with no change in Total Assets and no change to earnings.

Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets.  In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.  The ASU clarifies Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets, and provides guidance when consumer mortgage loans collateralized by real estate should be reclassified to Real Estate Owned (“REO”).  Specifically, such collateralized mortgage loans should be reclassified to REO when either the creditor obtains legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure, or the borrower conveys all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement.

Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.  In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-14, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure, which requires that a mortgage loan be derecognized and a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if the following conditions are met: (1) the loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure; (2) at the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor and make a claim on the guarantee, and the creditor has the ability to recover under that claim; and (3) at the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed. Upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor.

ASU 2014-04 and ASU 2014-14 were effective for the FHLBNY on January 1, 2015.  Adoption did not have an impact on the FHLBNY’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Related Party Transactions.

Note 18.Related Party Transactions.

The FHLBNY is a cooperative and the members own almost all of the stock of the FHLBNY.  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, and 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 — In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the FHLBNY assumed $35.0 million of debt from another FHLBank.  No debt was assumed in the three and nine month periods in the prior year from another FHLBank.

Debt transfers — In the three months ended September 30, 2015, the FHLBNY did not transfer any debt to another FHLBank.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the FHLBNY transferred $80.0 million of consolidated obligation bonds to another FHLBank at negotiated market rates that exceeded carrying value by $7.8 million.  No debt was transferred in the three and nine month periods in the prior year to another FHLBank.  Cash paid in excess of book cost is charged to earnings in the period 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 or 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 to the FHLBank of Chicago portions of its purchases of mortgage loans from its members.  Transactions are participated at market rates.  Since 2004, the FHLBNY has not shared its purchases with the FHLBank of Chicago.  From the inception of the program through 2004, the cumulative share of participation in the FHLBNY’s MPF loans that has remained outstanding was $22.5 million at September 30, 2015 and $27.9 million at December 31, 2014.

Fees paid to the FHLBank of Chicago for providing MPF program services were approximately $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the same periods in the prior year.

Mortgage-backed Securities

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

We pay an annual fee of $6.0 thousand to the FHLBank of Chicago for the use of MBS cash flow models in connection with OTTI analysis performed by the FHLBNY for certain of our private-label MBS.

Intermediation

From time to time, the FHLBNY acts as an intermediary to purchase derivatives to accommodate its smaller members.  At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, outstanding notional amounts were $31.0 million and $110.0 million and represented derivative contracts in which the FHLBNY acted as an intermediary to execute derivative contracts with members.  Separately, the contracts were offset with contracts purchased from unrelated derivatives dealers.  Net fair value exposures of these transactions at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 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, 2015, the FHLBNY extended overnight loans for a total of $0.2 billion and $2.8 billion.  In the same periods in the prior year, the FHLBNY extended overnight loans for a total of $0.5 billion and $2.6 billion.  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 and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the same periods in prior year, there were no borrowings from other FHLBanks.

The following tables summarize outstanding balances with related parties at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and transactions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 (in thousands):
