Background | |
The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY” or “the Bank”) is a federally chartered corporation, and is one of twelve district Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLBanks”). The FHLBanks are U.S. government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”), organized under the authority of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (“FHLBank Act”). Each FHLBank is a cooperative owned by member institutions located within a defined geographic district. The FHLBNY’s defined geographic district is New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. | |
Tax Status. The FHLBanks, including the FHLBNY, are exempt from ordinary federal, state, and local taxation except for real property taxes. | |
Assessments. Affordable Housing Program (“AHP”) Assessments — Each FHLBank, including the FHLBNY, provides subsidies in the form of direct grants and below-market interest rate advances to members, who use the funds to assist in the purchase, construction or rehabilitation of housing for very low-, low- and moderate-income households. Annually, the 12 FHLBanks must set aside the greater of $100 million or 10% of their regulatory defined net income for the Affordable Housing Program. |

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates. | |
Basis of Presentation | |
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. and with instructions provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation requires management to make a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities (if applicable), and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reported periods. Although management believes these judgments, estimates and assumptions to be appropriate, actual results may differ. The information contained in these financial statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period results have been made. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the FHLBNY’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in Form 10-K filed on March 24, 2014. | |
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates | |
The FHLBNY has identified certain accounting policies that it believes are significant because they require management to make subjective judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or by using different assumptions. These policies include estimating the allowance for credit losses on the advance and mortgage loan portfolios, evaluating the impairment of the Bank’s securities portfolios, and estimating fair values of certain assets and liabilities. There have been no significant changes to accounting policies from those identified in Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in Notes to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 24, 2014, which contains a summary of the Bank’s significant accounting policies and estimates. | |
Recently Adopted Significant Accounting Policies | |
Framework for Adversely Classifying Loans, Other Real Estate Owned, and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention. On April 9, 2012, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”), the FHLBank’s regulator, issued Advisory Bulletin 2012-02 (“Advisory Bulletin”) that establishes adverse classification, identification of Special Mention assets and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The guidance is expected to be applied prospectively, and was effective at issuance. The FHFA issued additional guidance that extended the effective date of classification aspects of this Advisory Bulletin to January 1, 2014. Adoption in the first quarter of 2014 had no impact on of the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. | |
The Advisory Bulletin also prescribes the timing of asset charge-offs if an asset is at 180 days or more past due, subject to certain conditions. That guidance is not effective until January 1, 2015 and is further discussed in Note 2. Recently issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations. | |
Joint and Several Liability Arrangements. In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date. This guidance requires an entity to measure these obligations as the sum of (1) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and (2) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. In addition, this guidance requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. This guidance became effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2014 and is to be applied retrospectively for obligations with joint and several liabilities existing at January 1, 2014. The guidance had no effect on the FHLBNY’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |

Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets. On January 17, 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. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 31, 2014 and may be adopted under either the modified retrospective transition method or the prospective transition method. The FHLBNY is in the process of determining its effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, but does not expect adoption will have a material effect. | |
Framework for Adversely Classifying Loans, Other Real Estate Owned, and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention. On April 9, 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. 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 is not effective until January 1, 2015. | |
Under existing policies, the FHLBNY records a charge-off on MPF loans based upon the occurrence of a confirming event, which is typically the occurrence of an in-substance foreclosure (which occurs when the PFI takes physical possession of real estate without having to go through formal foreclosure procedures) or actual foreclosure. Adoption of the Advisory Bulletin may accelerate the timing of charge-offs. The FHLBNY is reviewing the operational aspects of implementing the guidance. The FHLBNY’s current practice is to record credit loss allowance on a loan level basis on all MPF loans delinquent 90 days or greater (for loans in bankruptcy status, an allowance is recorded regardless of delinquency status), and to measure the allowance based on the shortfall of the value of collateral (less estimated selling costs) to the recorded investment in the impaired loan. Therefore, the FHLBNY does not expect an acceleration of the charge-offs to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. |

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 Pledged to Derivative Counterparties — The FHLBNY executes derivatives with major swap dealers and financial institutions (“derivative counterparties” or “counterparties”), and enters into bilateral collateral agreements. Beginning June 10, 2013, certain of the FHLBNY’s derivatives are cleared and settled through one or several Derivative Clearing Organizations (“DCO”) as mandated under the Dodd-Frank Act. The FHLBNY considers the DCO as a derivative counterparty. For both bilaterally executed derivatives and derivatives cleared through a DCO, when a derivative counterparty is exposed, the FHLBNY would post cash as pledged collateral to mitigate the counterparty’s credit exposure. | |
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the FHLBNY had deposited $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion 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 nonperformance 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 securities collateral is a function of the liquidity and quality of the collateral. The collateral is typically in the form of highly-rated marketable securities, and the FHLBNY has the ability to call for additional collateral if the value of the securities falls below a pre-defined haircut. The FHLBNY can terminate the transaction and liquidate the collateral if the counterparty fails to post the additional margin. Under these agreements, the FHLBNY would not have the right to re-pledge the securities received. Securities purchased under agreements to resell (reverse repos) generally do not constitute a sale for accounting purposes of the underlying securities and so are treated as collateralized financing transactions. Outstanding balances were $500.0 million at March 31, 2014, and no balance was outstanding at December 31, 2013. Transaction balances averaged $687.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $72.9 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. There was no transaction for the three months ended March 31, 2013. | |
Interest income from securities purchased under agreements to resell was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. |

Unrealized Losses | ||||||||||||||||||||
The fair values and gross unrealized holding losses are aggregated by major security type and by the length of time individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position. Unrealized losses represent the difference between fair value and amortized cost. The baseline measure of unrealized loss is amortized cost, which is not adjusted for non-credit OTTI. Total unrealized losses in this table will not equal unrecognized losses by Major security type disclosed in the previous table. Unrealized losses are calculated after adjusting for credit OTTI.

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Bank’s investments in housing finance agency bonds had gross unrealized losses totaling $52.6 million and $54.0 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 March 31, 2014, 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 Bank from losses based on current expectations. As a result, the Bank expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. If conditions in the housing and mortgage markets and general business and economic conditions remain stressed or deteriorate further, the fair value of the bonds may decline further and the Bank may experience OTTI in future periods. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Impairment Analysis (OTTI) of GSE-issued and Private Label Mortgage-backed Securities | ||||||||||||||||||||
The FHLBNY evaluates its individual securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and a U.S. government agency by considering the creditworthiness and performance of the debt securities and the strength of the GSE’s guarantees of the securities. Based on analysis, GSE- and agency-issued securities are performing in accordance with their contractual agreements. The FHLBNY believes that it will recover its investments in GSE- and agency-issued securities given the current levels of collateral, credit enhancements and guarantees that exist to protect the investments. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Management evaluates its investments in private-label MBS (“PLMBS”) for OTTI on a quarterly basis by performing cash flow tests on 100% of non-agency PLMBS securities. 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 24, 2014. No credit related OTTI was identified in the first quarter of 2014 or in any periods in 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||

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. |

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

Monitoring and Evaluating Credit Losses on Advances — Summarized below are the FHLBNY’s assessment methodologies for evaluating credit losses on advances. | ||||||||||||||||
The FHLBNY closely monitors the creditworthiness of the institutions to which it lends. The FHLBNY also closely monitors the quality and value of the assets that are pledged as collateral by its members. The FHLBNY’s members are required to pledge collateral to secure advances. Eligible collateral includes: (1) one-to-four-family and multi-family mortgages; (2) U.S. Treasury and government-agency securities; (3) mortgage-backed securities; and (4) certain other collateral which is real estate related and has a readily ascertainable value, and in which the FHLBNY can perfect a security interest. The FHLBNY has the right to take such steps, as it deems necessary to protect its secured position on outstanding advances, including requiring additional collateral (whether or not such additional collateral would otherwise be eligible to secure a loan. This provision would benefit the FHLBNY in a scenario when a member defaults). The FHLBNY also has a statutory lien under the FHLBank Act on members’ capital stock, which serves as further collateral for members’ indebtedness to the FHLBNY. | ||||||||||||||||
Credit Risk. The Bank has policies and procedures in place to manage credit risk. There were no past due advances and all advances were current for all periods in this report. Management does not anticipate any credit losses, and accordingly, the Bank has not provided an allowance for credit losses on advances. The Bank’s potential credit risk from advances is concentrated in commercial banks, savings institutions, and insurance companies. | ||||||||||||||||
Concentration of Advances Outstanding. Advances to the FHLBNY’s top ten borrowing member institutions are reported in Note 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 18.5% of total advances at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 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 our capital stock as a prerequisite to membership. We take a number of steps to mitigate the unique risk of lending to insurance companies. At the time of membership, we require an insurance company to be highly-rated, and we perform credit analysis of insurance borrowers quarterly. To date we have accepted only life insurance companies to our membership. We also require our member insurance companies to pledge in our custody, highly-rated marketable securities to collateralize their borrowings. Appropriate haircut values are applied to the securities, and the haircuts 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the FHLBNY had rights to collateral with an estimated value greater than outstanding advances. Based upon the financial condition of the member, the FHLBNY: | ||||||||||||||||
(1) Allows a member to retain possession of the mortgage collateral pledged to the FHLBNY if the member executes a written security agreement, provides periodic listings and agrees to hold such collateral for the benefit of the FHLBNY; however, securities and cash collateral are always in physical possession; or | ||||||||||||||||
(2) Requires the member specifically to assign or place physical possession of such mortgage collateral with the FHLBNY or its custodial agent. | ||||||||||||||||
Beyond these provisions, Section 10(e) of the FHLBank Act affords any security interest granted by a member to the FHLBNY priority over the claims or rights of any other party. The two exceptions are claims that would be entitled to priority under otherwise applicable law or perfected security interests. All member obligations with the Bank were fully collateralized throughout their entire term. The total of collateral pledged to the Bank includes excess collateral pledged above the Bank’s minimum collateral requirements. However, a “Maximum Lendable Value” is established to ensure that the Bank has sufficient eligible collateral securing credit extensions. |

(a) Conventional mortgages represent the majority of mortgage loans held-for-portfolio, with the remainder invested in FHA and VA insured loans. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(b) Balances represents unamortized fair value basis of closed delivery commitments. A basis is recorded at the settlement of 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||
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 $20.0 million and $19.7 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 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 $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. These fees were reported as a reduction to mortgage loan interest income. | ||||||||||||||||||||
In terms of the credit enhancement waterfall, the MPF program structures potential credit losses on conventional MPF loans into layers on each loan pool as follows: | ||||||||||||||||||||
· The first layer of protection against loss is the liquidation value of the real property securing the loan. | ||||||||||||||||||||
· The next layer of protection comes from the primary mortgage insurance (“PMI”) that is required for loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80% at origination. | ||||||||||||||||||||
· Losses that exceed the liquidation value of the real property and any PMI, up to an agreed upon amount, the FLA for each Master Commitment, will be absorbed by the FHLBNY. | ||||||||||||||||||||
· Losses in excess of the FLA, up to an agreed-upon amount, the credit enhancement amount, will be covered by the PFI’s credit enhancement obligation. | ||||||||||||||||||||
· Losses in excess of the FLA and the PFI’s remaining credit enhancement for the Master Commitment, if any, will be absorbed by the FHLBNY. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Allowance Methodology for Loan Losses | ||||||||||||||||||||
Mortgage loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the FHLBNY will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage loan agreements. The Bank performs periodic reviews of individual impaired mortgage loans within the MPF loan portfolio to identify the potential for losses inherent in the portfolio and to determine the likelihood of collection of the principal and interest. Conventional mortgage loans that are past due 90 days or more, or classified under regulatory criteria (Sub-standard, Doubtful or Loss), and beginning in the third quarter of 2012, loans that are in bankruptcy regardless of their delinquency status, are evaluated separately on a loan level basis for impairment. The FHLBNY bases its provision for credit losses on its estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the impaired MPF loan. The FHLBNY computes the provision for credit losses without considering the private mortgage insurance and other accompanying credit enhancement features (except the “First Loss Account”) to provide credit assurance to the FHLBNY. Conventional mortgage loans, except FHA- and VA-insured loans, are analyzed under liquidation scenarios on a loan level basis, and identified losses are fully reserved. Management determines the liquidation value of the real-property collateral supporting the impaired loan after deducting costs to liquidate. That value is compared to the carrying value of the impaired mortgage loan, and a shortfall is recorded as an allowance for credit losses. This methodology is applied on a loan level basis. When a loan is foreclosed and the Bank takes possession of real estate, the Bank will charge any excess carrying value over the net realizable value of the foreclosed loan to the allowance for credit losses. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Only FHA- and VA-insured MPF loans are evaluated collectively. FHA- and VA-insured mortgage loans have minimal inherent credit risk, and are therefore not considered for impairment on 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 that 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||

(a) Based on analysis of the nature of risks of the Bank’s investments in MPF loans, including its methodologies for identifying and measuring impairment, the management of the FHLBNY has determined that presenting such loans as a single class is appropriate. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(b) Collateral values, net of estimated costs to sell, exceeded the recorded investments in impaired loans and no allowances were deemed necessary. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(c) The Bank does not record interest received as Interest income if an uninsured loan is past due 90 days or more. 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||

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

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, 2013. This modification plan was made available to homeowners currently in default or imminent danger of default. As of March 31, 2014, four MPF loans had been modified under the plan. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The MPF loan troubled debt restructurings primarily involved modifying the borrower’s monthly payment for a period of up to 36 months to no more than a housing expense ratio of 38% of their monthly income. The outstanding principal balance is re-amortized to reflect a principal and interest payment for a term not to exceed 40 years and a housing expense ratio not to exceed 38%. This would result in a balloon payment at the original maturity date of the loan as the maturity date and number of remaining monthly payments is unchanged. If the 38% ratio is still not met, the MPF program reduces for up to 36 months the interest rate in 0.125% increments below the original note rate, to a floor rate of 3.00%, resulting in reduced principal and interest payments, until the target 38% housing expense ratio is met. 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. The credit loss on a TDR would be based on the restructured loan’s expected cash flows over the life of the loan, taking into account the effect of any concessions granted to the borrower, and the net cash flows discounted by its original yield. 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Loans modified under this program are considered impaired. The allowance for credit losses on those impaired loans were evaluated individually, and the allowance balance was $0.4 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Forgiveness information — The MPF modification program limits loan terms that can be modified for up to 36 months, after which period the borrower is required to adhere to the original terms of the loan. Forgiveness information that would be required under the disclosure standards for loans deemed TDR has been omitted as the MPF modification program limits loan terms that can be modified for up to 36 months, after which period the borrower is required to adhere to the original terms of the loan. Concessions were not significant. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Loans discharged from bankruptcy — The FHLBNY includes MPF loans discharged from Chapter 7 bankruptcy as TDRs; $9.6 million and $9.5 million of such loans were outstanding at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 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. Included in loans outstanding at March 31, 2014, $9.6 million of loans had been discharged from bankruptcy, and $0.7 million were impaired due to their past due delinquency status. The allowance for credit losses associated with those loans was $0.2 million. | ||||||||||||||||||||

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, was approximately $0.8 trillion as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. | ||||||||||||||||
Finance Agency regulations require the FHLBanks to maintain, in the aggregate, unpledged qualifying assets equal to the consolidated obligations outstanding. Qualifying assets are defined as cash; secured advances; assets with an assessment or rating at least equivalent to the current assessment or rating of the consolidated obligations; obligations, participations, mortgages, or other securities of or issued by the United States or an agency of the United States; and securities in which fiduciary and trust funds may invest under the laws of the state in which the FHLBank is located. | ||||||||||||||||

Note 12. Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings. | ||||||||||||||
The FHLBanks, including the FHLBNY, have a cooperative structure. To access the FHLBNY’s products and services, a financial institution must be approved for membership and purchase capital stock in the FHLBNY. A member’s stock requirement is generally based on its use of FHLBNY products, subject to a minimum membership requirement as prescribed by the FHLBank Act and the FHLBNY’s Capital Plan. FHLBNY stock can be issued, exchanged, redeemed and repurchased only at its stated par value of $100 per share. It is not publicly traded. An option to redeem capital stock that is greater than a member’s minimum requirement is held by both the member and the FHLBNY. | ||||||||||||||
The FHLBNY’s Capital Plan offers two sub-classes of Class B capital stock, Class B1 and Class B2. Class B1 stock is issued to meet membership stock purchase requirements. Class B2 stock is issued to meet activity-based stock requirements. The FHLBNY requires member institutions to maintain Class B1 stock based on a percentage of the member’s mortgage-related assets and Class B2 stock based on a percentage of advances and acquired member assets, mainly MPF loans, outstanding with the FHLBank and certain commitments outstanding with the FHLBank. | ||||||||||||||
Class B1 and Class B2 stockholders have the same voting rights and dividend rates. Members can redeem Class B stock by giving five years notice. The Bank’s capital plan does not provide for the issuance of Class A capital stock. | ||||||||||||||
The FHLBNY is subject to risk-based capital rules. Specifically, the FHLBNY is subject to three capital requirements under its capital plan. First, the FHLBNY must maintain at all times permanent capital in an amount at least equal to the sum of its credit risk, market risk, and operations risk capital requirements as calculated in accordance with the FHLBNY policy, and rules and regulations of the Finance Agency. Only permanent capital, defined as Class B stock and retained earnings, satisfies this risk-based capital requirement. The Finance Agency may require the FHLBNY to maintain an amount of permanent capital greater than what is required by the risk-based capital requirements. In addition, the FHLBNY is required to maintain at least a 4.0% total capital-to-asset ratio and at least a 5.0% leverage ratio at all times. The leverage ratio is defined as the sum of permanent capital weighted 1.5 times and nonpermanent capital weighted 1.0 times divided by total assets. | ||||||||||||||
The FHLBNY was in compliance with the aforementioned capital rules and requirements for all periods presented. The FHLBNY met the “adequately capitalized” classification, which is the highest rating, under the capital rule. However, the Finance Agency has discretion to reclassify a FHLBank and to modify or add to the corrective action requirements for a particular capital classification. 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.

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

Restricted Retained Earnings | ||||||||||||||
Under the 12 FHLBank Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement (“Capital Agreement”), beginning with the third quarter of 2011, 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 for the previous quarter. The Capital Agreement is intended to enhance the capital position of each FHLBank. These restricted retained earnings will not be available to pay dividends. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $172.2 million and $157.1 million were recorded in Capital in the FHLBNY’s Statements of Condition as restricted retained earnings. |

The Bank participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (Pentegra DB Plan), a tax-qualified, defined-benefit multiemployer pension plan that covers all officers and employees of the Bank. The Bank also participates in the Pentegra Defined Contribution Plan for Financial Institutions, a tax-qualified defined contribution plan. In addition, the Bank maintains a Benefit Equalization Plan (“BEP”) that restores defined benefits for those employees who have had their qualified defined benefits limited by IRS regulations. The BEP is an unfunded plan. | |||||||||||||||||
The Bank also offers a Retiree Medical Benefit Plan, which is a postretirement health benefit plan. There are no funded plan assets that have been designated to provide postretirement health benefits. On March 26, 2014, the Bank notified its employees of Board-approved amendments to its postretirement health benefit plan effective January 1, 2015. There were no changes in the first quarter of 2014 to the Pentegra DB Plan or the BEP. | |||||||||||||||||

Postretirement Health Benefit Plan — Negative Plan Amendments | |||||||||||||||||
The Bank’s postretirement health benefit plan was amended in the first quarter of 2014. For active employees, Retiree Medical Benefits Plan will be eliminated for employees who are not age 55 and have 10 years of employment service at the Bank as of January 1, 2015. For those employees who qualify to remain in the plan, the current Defined Dollar Plan subsidy will be reduced by 50% for all service earned after December 31, 2014, and the annual “Cost of Living Adjustment” will be eliminated. The negative plan amendments (as defined in Accounting Standards Codification ASC 715-60-55) resulted in a reduction of $8.8 million in plan obligations. Prior to the plan amendments, the net periodic benefit cost was estimated to be $2.0 million for 2014; after the amendments, the net periodic benefit cost is estimated to be $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2014. No expenses are projected for the remainder of 2014, as amortization of gains due to plan amendments exceed service, interest and other costs. | |||||||||||||||||

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. | ||||||||||||||||||
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. The FHLBNY is not a derivatives dealer and does not trade derivatives for short-term profit. | ||||||||||||||||||
The FHLBNY uses derivatives in three ways - by designating them as a fair value or cash flow hedge of an underlying financial instrument or a forecasted transaction that qualifies for hedge accounting treatment; by acting as an intermediary; or by designating the derivative as an asset-liability management hedge (i.e., an “economic hedge”). | ||||||||||||||||||
When the FHLBNY designates a derivative as an economic hedge, the choice represents the most cost effective manner of hedging a risk, and is after considering the operational costs and benefits of executing a hedge that would qualify for hedge accounting. When entering into such 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 by matching the cash inflows on the derivative with the cash outflow on the consolidated obligation. | ||||||||||||||||||
Fair value hedges — In a typical transaction, fixed-rate consolidated obligations are issued for one or more FHLBanks, and each of those FHLBanks could simultaneously enter into a matching derivative in which the counterparty pays to the FHLBank fixed cash flows designed to mirror in timing and amount the cash outflows the FHLBank pays on the consolidated obligations. | ||||||||||||||||||
When such transactions qualify for hedge accounting, they are treated as Fair value hedges under the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging. 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 value recorded in current earnings. The related interest-rate swap 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. The FHLBNY also hedges the variability of cash flows of anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt to changes in the benchmark rate. When such transactions qualify for hedge accounting, they are treated as a Cash flow hedge. The related interest-rate swap is also recorded on the balance sheet in AOCI at fair value, with any changes in fair value reflected in earnings. For Cash flow hedges, the changes in value of the hedging derivative are reflected in AOCI to the extent the hedge is effective. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is reflected in current earnings. Fair values in AOCI are reclassified into interest expense at the same time as when the interest expense from the discount note or the anticipated debt impacts interest income. 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 on the anticipated issuance of debt to “lock in” the interest to be paid for the cost of funding. The swap is terminated upon issuance of the debt instrument, and amounts recorded in AOCI are reclassified to earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows of the debt that was issued. | ||||||||||||||||||
Cash Flow Hedges of Rolling Issuance of Discount Notes — The Bank 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, the Bank issues a series of discount notes with 91-day terms over periods, up to 15 years. The FHLBNY will continue issuing new 91-day discount notes over the terms of the swaps as each outstanding discount note matures. The interest rate swaps require a settlement every 91 days, and the variable rate, which is based on the 3-month LIBOR, is reset immediately following each payment. The swaps are expected to eliminate the risk of variability of cash flows for each forecasted discount note issuance every 91 days. The 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 debt — When the FHLBNY issues variable-rate consolidated obligations bonds indexed to 1-month LIBOR, the U.S. Prime rate, or Federal funds rate, it will simultaneously execute interest-rate swaps (“basis swaps”) to hedge the basis risk of the variable rate debt to 3-month LIBOR, the FHLBNY’s preferred funding base. The basis swaps are designated as economic hedges of the floating-rate bonds because the FHLBNY deems that the operational cost of designating the hedges under accounting standards for derivatives and hedge accounting would outweigh the accounting benefits. In this hedge, only the interest rate swap is carried at fair value. | ||||||||||||||||||
Consolidated obligation debt elected under the Fair Value Option — An alternative to hedge accounting that would permit the debt to be carried at fair value is to elect debt under the FVO. Once the irrevocable election is made upon issuance of the debt, the full change in fair value of the debt is reported in earnings. The FHLBNY has 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, the FHLBNY would also execute interest rate swaps to convert the fixed cash flows of the FVO debt to variable cash flows, so that changes in fair value of the swap is also reflected in earnings, creating a natural offset to the debt’s fair value change. The interest rate swap would be designated as an economic hedge of the debt. | ||||||||||||||||||
Advances | ||||||||||||||||||
The Bank offers a wide array of advances structures to meet members’ funding needs. These advances may have maturities up to 30 years with fixed or adjustable rates and may include early termination features or options. The Bank may use derivatives to adjust the repricing and/or options characteristics of advances to more closely match the characteristics of the Bank’s funding liabilities. | ||||||||||||||||||
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, the Bank will simultaneously execute a derivative transaction with terms that offset the terms of the fixed rate advance, or terms of the advance with embedded options. The combination of the fixed rate advance and the derivative transaction effectively creates a variable rate asset. With a putable advance borrowed by a member, the FHLBNY would purchase from the member a put option. | ||||||||||||||||||
The FHLBNY may hedge a putable advance by entering into a cancelable interest rate swap in which the FHLBNY pays to the swap counterparty fixed-rate cash flows and receives variable-rate cash flows. The swap counterparty can cancel the swap on the put date, which would normally occur in a rising rate environment, and the FHLBNY can terminate the advance and extend additional credit to the member on new terms. The FHLBNY also offers callable advances to members, which is a fixed-rate advance borrowed by a member. With the advance, the FHLBNY sells to the member a call option that enables the member to terminate the advance at pre-determined exercise dates. The FHLBNY hedges such advances by executing interest rate swaps with cancellable option features that would allow the FHLBNY to terminate the swaps also at pre-determined option exercise dates. | ||||||||||||||||||
Advances elected under the Fair Value Option — The FHLBNY has elected to carry certain variable-rate advances under the FVO. Once the irrevocable election is made upon issuance of the debt, the full change in fair value of the advance is reported in earnings. The FHLBNY believes that changes in fair values of FVO designated advances provides a natural offset to the debt elected under the FVO. | ||||||||||||||||||
Economic hedges of variable rate capped advances — The FHLBNY offers variable rate advances with an option that caps the interest rate payable by the borrower. The FHLBNY would typically offset the risk presented by the embedded cap by executing a matching cap. | ||||||||||||||||||
Mortgage Loans | ||||||||||||||||||
The Bank’s investment portfolio includes fixed rate mortgage loans. The FHLBNY manages the interest rate and prepayment risk associated with mortgages through debt issuance, 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. The FHLBNY accounts for them as freestanding derivatives, and records the fair values of mortgage loan delivery commitments on the balance sheet with an offset to Other income as a Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities. Fair values were not significant for all periods in this report. | ||||||||||||||||||
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 was $130.0 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The FHLBNY’s exposure with respect to the transactions with members was fully collateralized. | ||||||||||||||||||
Other Economic Hedges | ||||||||||||||||||
The derivatives in economic hedges were considered freestanding and changes in the fair values of the swaps were recorded through income. In general, economic hedges comprised primarily of: | ||||||||||||||||||
Interest rate caps to hedge balance sheet risk, specifically interest rate risk from certain capped floating rate investment securities. | ||||||||||||||||||
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 Nonperformance by Counterparties | ||||||||||||||||||
The contractual or notional amount of derivatives reflects the involvement of the FHLBNY in the various classes of financial instruments, and serves as a basis for calculating periodic interest payments or cash flow. Notional amount of a derivative does not measure the credit risk exposure, and the maximum credit exposure is substantially less than the notional amount. The maximum credit risk is the estimated cost of replacing interest-rate swaps, forward agreements, mandatory delivery contracts for mortgage loans and purchased caps and floors (“derivatives”) in a gain position if the counterparty defaults and the related collateral, if any, is of insufficient value to the FHLBNY. | ||||||||||||||||||
Derivatives are instruments that derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates and other inputs, or a combination of these factors. The FHLBNY executes derivatives with swap dealers and financial institution swap counterparties as negotiated contracts, which are usually referred to as over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives. The majority of OTC derivative contracts were primarily bilateral contracts between the FHLBNY and the swap counterparties that were executed and settled bilaterally with counterparties without the use of a derivative clearing house (“DCO”). Beginning on June 10, 2013, certain of the FHLBNY’s OTC derivatives are executed bilaterally with executing swap counterparties, then cleared and settled through one or more DCO as mandated under the Dodd-Frank Act. When transacting a derivative for clearing, the FHLBNY utilizes a designated clearing agent, the Futures Clearing Merchant, or “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, the FHLBNY is subject to credit risk as a result of nonperformance by swap counterparties to the derivative agreements. The FHLBNY enters into master netting arrangements and bilateral security agreements with all active derivative counterparties, which provide for delivery of collateral at specified levels to limit the net unsecured credit exposure to these counterparties. The FHLBNY makes judgments on each counterparty’s creditworthiness, and estimates of the collateral values in analyzing counterparty nonperformance credit risk. Bilateral agreements consider the credit risks and the agreement specifies thresholds to post or receive collateral with changes in credit ratings. When the FHLBNY has more than one derivative transaction outstanding with 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’s (“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 is posted in cash by the FHLBNY in addition to Variation margin. | ||||||||||||||||||

(a) Derivative instruments without legal right of offset were synthetic derivatives representing forward mortgage delivery commitments of 45 days or less. It was operationally not practical to separate receivable from payables, and net presentation was adopted. No cash collateral was involved with the mortgage delivery commitments, which are accounted as derivatives. | ||||||||||||||||||
(b) Unsecured amounts represent Derivative assets and liabilities recorded in the Statements of Condition at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 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. | ||||||||||||||||||
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 values in gain positions before netting and offsetting cash collateral were $627.3 million and $634.4 million due at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 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 $577.5 million and $591.1 million at those dates. These adjustments included $9.0 million and $4.0 million in cash posted by counterparties to mitigate the FHLBNY’s exposures at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The net exposures after offsetting adjustments were $49.9 million and $43.3 million at those dates. | ||||||||||||||||||
Derivative counterparties are also exposed to credit losses resulting from potential nonperformance risk of the FHLBNY with respect to derivative contracts, and their exposure due to a default by the FHLBNY is measured by derivatives in a fair value loss position from the FHLBNY’s perspective (and a gain position from the counterparty’s perspective). At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, derivatives in a net unrealized loss positions, which represented the counterparties’ exposure, including the exposure of DCOs in cleared trades, to the potential non-performance risk of the FHLBNY, were $345.7 million and $349.2 after deducting $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion of cash collateral posted by the FHLBNY at those dates to the exposed counterparties. With respect to cleared derivatives, the DCO is also exposed to the failure of the FHLBNY to deliver cash margin, which is typically paid one day following the execution of a cleared derivative, and those amounts were not significant. | ||||||||||||||||||
The FHLBNY is also exposed to the risk of derivative counterparties failing to return cash collateral deposited with counterparties due to counterparty bankruptcy or other similar scenarios. If such an event were to occur, the FHLBNY would be forced to replace derivatives by executing similar derivative contracts with other counterparties. To the extent that the FHLBNY receives cash from the replacement trades that is less than the amount of cash deposited with the defaulting counterparty, the FHLBNY’s cash pledged as a deposit is exposed to credit risk of the defaulting counterparty. Derivative counterparties, including DCOs, holding the FHLBNY’s cash as posted collateral, were analyzed from credit performance perspective, and based on credit analyses and collateral requirements, the management of the FHLBNY does not anticipate any credit losses on its derivative agreements. | ||||||||||||||||||

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. Hedge ineffectiveness represents the amounts by which the changes in the fair value of the derivatives differ from the changes in the fair values of the hedged items or the variability in the cash flows of forecasted transactions. The net ineffectiveness from hedges that qualify under hedge accounting rules are recorded as a Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities in Other income (loss) in the Statements of Income. If derivatives do not qualify for the hedging criteria under hedge accounting rules, but are executed as economic hedges of financial assets or liabilities under a FHLBNY-approved hedge strategy, only the fair value changes of the derivatives are recorded as a Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities in Other income (loss) in the Statements of Income. | ||||||||||||||||||
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 (loss) or gain from Instruments held at fair value. | ||||||||||||||||||

(a) Hedges of anticipated issuance of debt - The maximum period of time that the Bank typically hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions in this program is between three and nine months. There were no open contracts at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The amount in AOCI from closed cash flow hedges was a net unrecognized loss of $8.0 million and $8.7 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014, it is expected that over the next 12 months, $2.6 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 — At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $1.3 billion of notional amounts of the interest rate swaps were outstanding under this program. Net unrealized fair values losses of $42.6 million and $22.3 million were recorded in AOCI at those dates. The cash flow hedges mitigated exposure to the variability in future cash flows for a maximum period of 15 years. Long-term swap rates at March 31, 2014 had steepened significantly, and previously recorded cumulative fair value losses were partially recovered. The FHLBNY’s cash payments are fixed, and in return it receives LIBOR-indexed floating rate cash flows; in a rising rate environment, the amount of forecasted cash flows that it would potentially receive grows larger effectively reducing unrealized losses. | ||||||||||||||||||
(c) Effective portion was recorded in AOCI. Ineffectiveness was immaterial and was recorded within Net income. | ||||||||||||||||||
(d) Represents unrecognized loss from cash flow hedges recorded in AOCI. | ||||||||||||||||||
There were no material amounts that were reclassified into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges because it became probable that the original forecasted transactions would not occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within a two-month period thereafter. |

(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 are also measured and recorded at their fair values in the period OTTI is recognized. | ||||||||||||||||||||
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 — Unobservable inputs for 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||

The fair value of a financial instrument that is an asset is defined as the price the FHLBNY would receive to sell the asset in an orderly transaction with market participants. A financial liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Where available, fair values are based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices are not available, valuation models and inputs are utilized. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or markets and the instruments’ complexity. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Because an active secondary market does not exist for a portion of the FHLBNY’s financial instruments, in certain cases, fair values are not subject to precise quantification or verification and may change as economic and market factors and evaluation of those factors change. The fair values of financial assets and liabilities reported in the tables above are discussed below. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Cash and Due from Banks — The estimated fair value approximates the recorded book balance. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Interest-bearing Deposits and Federal Funds Sold — The FHLBNY determines estimated fair values of short-term investments by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows 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 employed by the Bank 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 information primarily from pricing services. This methodology is also referred to as the Market approach under the Fair value measurement standards. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Mortgage-backed securities — The FHLBNY’s valuation technique incorporates prices from up to four designated third-party pricing services, when available. The FHLBNY’s base investment pricing methodology establishes a median price for each security using a formula that is based on the number of prices received. If four prices are received from the four pricing vendors, the average of the two middle prices is used; if three prices are received, the middle price is used; if two prices are received, the average of the two prices is used; and if one price is received, it is used subject to further validation. Vendor prices that are outside of a defined tolerance threshold of the median price are identified as outliers and subject to additional review, including, but not limited to, comparison to prices provided by an additional third-party valuation service, prices for similar securities, and/or non-binding dealer estimates, or use of internal model prices, which are deemed to be reflective of all relevant facts and circumstances that a market participant would consider. Such analysis is also applied in those limited instances where no third-party vendor price or only one third-party vendor price is available in order to arrive at an estimated fair value. In its analysis, the FHLBNY has also introduced the concept of clustering pricing, and to predefine cluster tolerances. Once the median prices are computed from the four pricing vendors, the second step is to determine which of the sourced prices fall within the required tolerance level interval to the median price, which forms the “cluster” of prices to be averaged. This average will determine a “default” price for the security. To be included among the cluster, each price must fall within 10 points of the median price for residential PLMBS and within 3 points of the median price for GSE issued MBS. The cluster tolerance guidelines shall be reviewed annually and may be revised as necessary. The final step is to determine the final price of the security based on the cluster average and an evaluation of any outlier prices. If the analysis confirms that an outlier is not representative of fair value and that the average of the vendor prices within the tolerance threshold of the median price is the best estimate, then the average of the vendor prices within the tolerance threshold of the median price is used as the final price. If, on the other hand, an outlier (or some other price identified in the analysis) is determined to be a better estimate of fair value, then the outlier (or the other price as appropriate) is used as the final price. In all cases, the final price is used to determine the fair value of the security. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The FHLBNY has also established that the pricing vendors use methods that generally employ, but are not limited to, benchmark yields, recent trades, dealer estimates, valuation models, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and/or matrix pricing. To validate vendor prices of PLMBS, the FHLBNY has also adopted a formal process to examine yields as an additional validation method. The FHLBNY calculates an implied yield for each of its PLMBS using estimated fair values derived from cash flows on a bond-by-bond basis. This yield is then compared to the implied yield for comparable securities according to price information from third-party MBS “market surveillance reports”. Significant variances or inconsistencies are evaluated in conjunction with all of the other available pricing information. The objective is to determine whether an adjustment to the fair value estimate is appropriate. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Based on the FHLBNY’s review processes, management has concluded that inputs into the pricing models employed by pricing services for the Bank’s investments in GSE securities are market based and observable and are considered to be within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of the FHLBNY’s private-label securities, all designated as held-to-maturity, may require pricing services to use significant inputs that are subjective and are considered to be within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. This determination was made based on management’s view that the private-label instruments may not have an active market because of the specific vintage of the securities as well as inherent conditions surrounding the trading of private-label MBS, so that the inputs may not be market based and observable. No held-to-maturity securities were recorded at fair values on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2014 or at December 31, 2013 or any time in 2013, 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Advances — The fair values of advances are computed using standard option valuation models. The most significant inputs to the valuation model are (1) consolidated obligation debt curve (“CO Curve”), published by the Office of Finance and available to the public, and (2) LIBOR swap curves and volatilities. The Bank considers both these inputs to be market based and observable as they can be directly corroborated by market participants. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The FHLBNY determines the fair values of its advances by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows from the advances, a methodology also referred to as the Income approach under the Fair value measurement standards. The discount rates used in these calculations are equivalent to the replacement advance rates for advances with similar terms. In accordance with the Finance Agency’s advances regulations, an advance with a maturity or repricing period greater than six months requires a prepayment fee sufficient to make a FHLBank financially indifferent to the borrower’s decision to prepay the advance. Therefore, the fair value of an advance does not assume prepayment risk. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The inputs used to determine fair value of advances are as follows: | ||||||||||||||||||||
· CO Curve. The FHLBNY uses the CO Curve, which represents its cost of funds, as an input to estimate the fair value of advances, and to determine current advance rates. This input is considered market observable and therefore a Level 2 input. | ||||||||||||||||||||
· Volatility assumption. To estimate the fair value of advances with optionality, the FHLBNY uses market-based expectations of future interest rate volatility implied from current market prices for similar options. This input is considered a Level 2 input as it is market based and market observable. | ||||||||||||||||||||
· Spread adjustment. Adjustments represent the FHLBNY’s mark-up based on its pricing strategy. The input is considered as unobservable, and is classified as a Level 3 input. The spread adjustment is not a significant input to the overall fair value of an advance. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The FHLBNY creates an internal curve, which is interpolated from its advance rates. Advance rates are calculated by applying a spread to an underlying “base curve” derived from the FHLBNY’s cost of funds, which is based on the CO Curve, inputs to which have been determined to be market observable and classified as Level 2. The spreads applied to the base advance pricing curve typically represent the FHLBNY’s mark-ups over the FHLBNY’s cost of funds, and are not market observable inputs, but are based on the FHLBNY’s advance pricing strategy. Such inputs have been classified as a Level 3 input. For the FHLBNY, Level 3 inputs were considered not significant. | ||||||||||||||||||||
To determine the appropriate classification of the overall measurement in the fair value hierarchy of an advance, an analysis of the inputs to the entire fair value measurement was performed at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 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 — The FHLBNY believes that a market participant is an entity that would buy qualifying mortgage loans for the purpose of securitization and subsequent resale as a security. Other government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”), specifically Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), conduct the majority of such activity in the United States, but there are other commercial banks and financial institutions that periodically conduct business in this market. Therefore, the FHLBNY has identified market participants for qualifying loans to include (1) all GSEs, and (2) other commercial banks and financial institutions that are independent of the FHLBank System. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Non-qualifying Loans — For the FHLBNY, non-qualifying loans are primarily impaired loans. The FHLBNY believes that it is unlikely the GSE market participants would willingly buy loans that did not meet their normal criteria or underwriting standards. However, a market exists with commercial banks and financial institutions other than GSEs where such market participants buy non-qualifying loans in order to securitize them as they become current, resell them in the secondary market, or hold them in their portfolios. Therefore, the FHLBNY has identified the market participants for non-qualifying loans to include other commercial banks and financial institutions that are independent of the FHLBank System. | ||||||||||||||||||||
B. Fair Value at Initial Recognition — MPF Loans | ||||||||||||||||||||
The FHLBNY believes that the transaction price (entry price) may differ from the fair value (exit price) at initial recognition because it is determined using a different method than subsequent fair value measurements. However, because mortgage loans are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet, day one gains and losses would not be applicable. Additionally, all mortgage loans were performing at the time of origination. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The FHLBNY receives an entry price from the FHLBank of Chicago, the MPF Provider, at the time of acquisition. This entry price is based on the TBA rates, as well as exit prices received from market participants, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The price is adjusted for specific MPF program characteristics and may be further adjusted by the FHLBNY to accommodate changing market conditions. Because of the adjustments, in many cases, the entry price would not equal the exit price at the time of acquisition. | ||||||||||||||||||||
C. Valuation Technique, Inputs and Hierarchy | ||||||||||||||||||||
The FHLBNY calculates the fair value of the entire mortgage loan portfolio using a valuation technique referred to as the “market approach”. Loans are aggregated into synthetic pass-through securities based on product type, loan origination year, gross coupon and loan term. The fair values are based on TBA rates (or agency commitment rates), as discussed above, adjusted primarily for seasonality. 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 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 unobservable Level 3 input. The FHLBNY validates the impairment adjustment made to TBA rates by “back-testing” against incurred losses. The FHLBNY 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, fair values of impaired laons were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. | ||||||||||||||||||||
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 majority of the FHLBNY’s derivatives is 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Bank’s valuation model utilizes a modified Black-Karasinski model that assumes that rates are distributed log normally. The log-normal model precludes interest rates turning negative in the model computations. Significant market based and observable inputs into the valuation model include volatilities and interest rates. The Bank’s valuation model employs industry standard market-observable inputs (inputs that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources). Inputs by class of derivative were as follows: | ||||||||||||||||||||
Interest-rate related: | ||||||||||||||||||||
· LIBOR Swap Curve. | ||||||||||||||||||||
· Volatility assumption. Market-based expectations of future interest rate volatility implied from current market prices for similar options. | ||||||||||||||||||||
· Prepayment assumption (if applicable). | ||||||||||||||||||||
· Federal funds curve (OIS curve). | ||||||||||||||||||||
Mortgage delivery commitments (considered a derivative): | ||||||||||||||||||||
· TBA security prices are adjusted for differences in coupon, average loan rate and seasoning. | ||||||||||||||||||||
OIS adoption — Beginning December 31, 2012, the FHLBNY has incorporated overnight indexed swap (“OIS”) curves as fair value measurement inputs for the valuation of its derivatives, as the OIS curves reflect the interest rates paid on cash collateral provided against the fair value of these derivatives. The FHLBNY believes using relevant OIS curves as inputs to determine fair value measurements provides a more representative reflection of the fair values of these collateralized interest-rate related derivatives. The OIS curve (Federal funds curve) was an additional input incorporated into the valuation model. The input for the federal funds curve is obtained from industry standard pricing vendors and the input is available and observable over its entire term structure. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Management considers the federal funds curve to be a Level 2 input. The FHLBNY’s valuation model utilizes industry standard OIS methodology. The model generates forecasted cash flows using the OIS calibrated 3-month LIBOR curve. The model then discounts the cash flows by the OIS curve to generate fair values. Previously, the FHLBNY used the 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) curve as the relevant benchmark curve for its derivatives and as the discounting rate for these collateralized interest-rate related derivatives. The impact of the adoption of OIS on the FHLBNY’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows was not material. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Credit risk and credit valuation adjustments — The FHLBNY is subject to credit risk in derivatives transactions due to the potential nonperformance of its derivatives counterparties 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 Bank has concluded that the impact of the credit differential between the Bank 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||
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. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Deposits — The FHLBNY determines estimated fair values of deposits by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows from the deposits. The discount rates used in these calculations are the current cost of deposits with similar terms. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock — The fair value of capital stock subject to mandatory redemption is generally equal to its par value as indicated by contemporaneous member purchases and sales at par value. Fair value also includes an estimated dividend earned at the time of reclassification from equity to liabilities, until such amount is paid, and any subsequently declared dividend. FHLBank stock can only be acquired and redeemed at par value. FHLBank stock is not traded and no market mechanism exists for the exchange of stock outside the FHLBank System’s cooperative structure. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Accrued Interest Payable and Other Liabilities — The estimated fair values approximate the recorded book value because of the relatively short period of time between their origination and expected realization. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Fair Value Measurement | ||||||||||||||||||||
The tables below present the fair value of those assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, by level within the fair value hierarchy. The FHLBNY measures certain held-to-maturity securities and mortgage loans at fair value on a non-recurring basis due to the recognition of a credit loss. Real estate owned is measured at fair value when the asset’s fair value less costs to sell is lower than its carrying amount. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Fair Value Option Disclosures | ||||||||||||||||||||
The fair value option (“FVO”) provides an irrevocable option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets, financial liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments, and written loan commitments not previously carried at fair value. It requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the entity has chosen to use fair value on the face of the statement of condition. Fair value is used for both the initial and subsequent measurement of the designated assets, liabilities and commitments, with the changes in fair value recognized in net income. Interest income and interest expense on advances and consolidated obligations at fair value are recognized solely on the contractual amount of interest due or unpaid. Any transaction fees or costs are immediately recognized into non-interest income or non-interest expense. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The FHLBNY has elected the FVO for certain advances and certain consolidated obligations that either do not qualify for hedge accounting or may be at risk for not meeting hedge effectiveness requirements, primarily in an effort to mitigate the potential income statement volatility that can arise from economic hedging relationships in which the carrying value of the hedged item is not adjusted for changes in fair value. Additionally, beginning in 2012, advances have been considered by the FHLBNY for FVO if analysis indicates that changes in the fair values of the advance would be an offset to fair value volatility of debt elected under the FVO. | ||||||||||||||||||||
For instruments for which the fair value option has been elected, the related contractual interest income, contractual interest expense and the discount amortization on fair value option discount notes are recorded as part of net interest income in the Statements of Income. The remaining changes in fair value for instruments for which the fair value option has been elected are recorded as net gains (losses) on financial instruments held under fair value option in the Statements of Income. The change in fair value does not include changes in instrument-specific credit risk. The FHLBNY has determined that no adjustments to the fair values of its instruments recorded under the fair value option for instrument-specific credit risk were necessary during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. 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 debt elected under the FVO are highly-rated instruments and changes in fair values were generally related to changes in interest rates, and changes in 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||

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 Bank would have been required to recognize the fair value of the FHLBNY’s joint and several liability for all the consolidated obligations, as discussed above. However, the FHLBNY considers the joint and several liabilities as similar to a related party guarantee, which meets the scope exception under the accounting standard for guarantees. Accordingly, the FHLBNY has not recognized the fair value of a liability for its joint and several obligations related to other FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations, which in aggregate was $0.8 trillion at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
Standby letters of credit are executed for a fee on behalf of members to facilitate residential housing, community lending, and members’ asset/liability management or to provide liquidity. A standby letter of credit is a financing arrangement between the FHLBNY and its member. Members assume an unconditional obligation to reimburse the FHLBNY for value given by the FHLBNY to the beneficiary under the terms of the standby letter of credit. The FHLBNY may, in its discretion, permit the member to finance repayment of their obligation by receiving a collateralized advance. Outstanding standby letters of credit were approximately $9.1 billion and $8.5 billion as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 not significant as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
MPF Program — Under the MPF program, the Bank was unconditionally obligated to purchase $9.1 million and $7.6 million of mortgage loans at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Commitments were generally for periods not to exceed 45 business days. Such commitments were recorded as derivatives at their fair value under the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging. In addition, the FHLBNY had entered into conditional agreements with its members in the MPF program to purchase mortgage loans in aggregate of $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
Future benefit payments — Pension stabilization in a bill passed in 2012, known as Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (“MAP-21”) allows companies to set their pension plan contributions using a rate based on high-quality bond yields averaged over 25 years. Before MAP-21, the rule was two years using current rates. Allowing plan sponsors to use the higher of the two averages under MAP-21 resulted in a lower pension liability, and lower minimum required contributions for plan years 2013 and 2012. MAP-21 is not a permanent relief as lower contributions are likely to mean higher contributions in the future. Over time, the pension funding stabilization will result in higher contributions starting in 2014 as projected rates under the MAP-21 relief continue to decrease. | |||||||||||||||||
Pentegra Retirement Services, which operates the Defined Benefit Plan, a multiemployer pension plan has advised the FHLBNY that it projects the minimum required contribution for the FHLBNY will be $7.8 million for the plan year beginning July 1, 2014 and ending June 30, 2015. The projection is based on a number of assumptions, principally that the FHLBNY’s plan provisions will remain substantially unchanged, there will be no significant increase in underlying real interest rates and MAP-21 interest rates will decline next year by approximately 60 basis points. As with all projections, actual minimum required contributions in future periods might differ from those projected at this time. | |||||||||||||||||
Discount note issuance program — The Bank has cash flow hedge strategies that require the sequential issuances of 3-month term discount notes every 91 days. The discount note issuance program at March 31, 2014 totaled $1.3 billion, with earliest issuance program ending in 2020 and the furthest ending in 2028. For more information, see Cash Flow Hedges in Note 15. Derivatives and Hedging Activities. | |||||||||||||||||
Derivative contracts — The FHLBNY executes derivatives with major financial institutions and enters into bilateral collateral agreements. When counterparties are exposed, the Bank would typically pledge cash collateral to mitigate the counterparty’s credit exposure. To mitigate the counterparties’ exposures, the FHLBNY deposited $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion in cash with derivative counterparties as pledged collateral at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and these amounts were reported as a deduction to Derivative liabilities. Further information is provided in Note 15. Derivatives and Hedging Activities. | |||||||||||||||||
Lease contracts — The FHLBNY charged to operating expenses net rental costs of approximately $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Lease agreements for FHLBNY premises generally provide for inflationary increases in the basic rentals resulting from increases in property taxes and maintenance expenses. Additionally, the FHLBNY has a lease agreement for a shared offsite data backup site at an annual cost of less than $1.0 million. Components of the agreement are generally renewable between 1-3 years. | |||||||||||||||||

(a) Contractual obligations related to interest payments on long-term debt are calculated by applying the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding long-term debt at March 31, 2014 to the contractual payment obligations on long-term debt for each forecasted period disclosed in the table. At March 31, 2014, the FHLBNY’s overall weighted average contractual interest rate for long-term debt was 0.80%. 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) Immaterial amount of commitments for equipment leases are not included. | |||||||||||||||||
(c) Includes accounts payable and accrued expenses, Pass-through reserves at the FRB on behalf of certain members of the FHLBNY recorded in Other liabilities.

Impact of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers | |||||||||||||||||
From time to time, the Bank is involved in disputes or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business. At the present time, except as noted below, there are no pending claims against the Bank that, if established, are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Bank’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. | |||||||||||||||||
On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (“LBHI”), the parent company of Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. (“LBSF”) and a guarantor of LBSF’s obligations, filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York. LBSF filed for protection under Chapter 11 in the same court on October 3, 2008. A Chapter 11 plan was confirmed in their bankruptcy cases by order of the Bankruptcy Court dated December 6, 2011 (the “Plan”). The Plan became effective on March 6, 2012. | |||||||||||||||||
LBSF was a counterparty to FHLBNY on multiple derivative transactions under an International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. master agreement with a total notional amount of $16.5 billion at the time of termination of the Bank’s derivative transactions with LBSF on September 18, 2008 (the “Early Termination Date”). The net amount that was due to the Bank after giving effect to obligations that were due LBSF and Bank collateral posted with and netted by LBSF was approximately $65 million. The Bank filed timely proofs of claim in the amount of approximately $65 million as creditors of LBSF and LBHI in connection with the bankruptcy proceedings. The Bank fully reserved the LBSF and LBHI receivables as the dispute with LBSF described below make the timing and the amount of any recoveries uncertain. | |||||||||||||||||
As previously reported, the Bank received a Derivatives ADR Notice from LBSF dated July 23, 2010 claiming that the Bank was liable to LBSF under the master agreement. Subsequently, in accordance with the Alternative Dispute Resolution Procedure Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court dated September 17, 2009 (“Order”), the Bank responded to LBSF on August 23, 2010, denying LBSF’s Demand. LBSF served a reply on September 7, 2010, effectively reiterating its position. A mediation conducted pursuant to the Order commenced on December 8, 2010 and concluded without settlement on March 17, 2011. LBSF claims that the Bank is liable to it in the principal amount of approximately $198 million plus interest on such principal amount from the Early Termination Date to December 1, 2008 at an interest rate equal to the average of the cost of funds of the Bank and LBSF on the Early Termination Date, and after December 1, 2008 at a default interest rate of LIBOR plus 13.5%. LBSF’s asserted claim as of December 6, 2010, including principal and interest, was approximately $268 million. Pursuant to the Order, positions taken by the parties in the ADR process are confidential. | |||||||||||||||||
While the Bank believes that LBSF’s position is without merit, the amount the Bank actually recovers or pays will ultimately be decided in the course of the bankruptcy proceedings. |

Note 18. Related Party Transactions. | ||||||||||||||
The FHLBNY is a cooperative and the members own almost all of the stock of the Bank. Stock issued and outstanding that is not owned by members is held by former members. The majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the FHLBNY are elected by and from the membership. The FHLBNY conducts its advances business almost exclusively with members. The Bank considers its transactions with its members and non-member stockholders as related party transactions in addition to transactions with other FHLBanks, the Office of Finance, and the Finance Agency. The FHLBNY conducts all transactions with members and non-members in the ordinary course of business. All transactions with all members, including those whose officers may serve as directors of the FHLBNY, are at terms that are no more favorable than comparable transactions with other members. The FHLBNY may from time to time borrow or sell overnight and term Federal funds at market rates to members. | ||||||||||||||
Debt Assumptions and Transfers | ||||||||||||||
Debt assumptions — The Bank did not assume debt from another FHLBank in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. | ||||||||||||||
Debt transfers — In the three months ended March 31, 2014, the bank did not transfer any debt to another FHLBank. In the same period in 2013, the bank transferred $25.0 million to another FHLBank at negotiated market rates that exceeded book cost by $3.9 million, which was a charge to earnings in that 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/sold to the FHLBNY or from the FHLBNY to another FHLBank in any periods in this report. | ||||||||||||||
MPF Program | ||||||||||||||
In the MPF program, the FHLBNY may participate out certain portions of its purchases of mortgage loans from its members. Since 2004, the FHLBNY has not shared its purchases with the FHLBank of Chicago. Transactions were at market rates. The FHLBank of Chicago, the MPF provider’s cumulative share of interest in the FHLBNY’s MPF loans from inception of the program through mid-2004 was $33.2 million.

No mortgage-backed securities were acquired from other FHLBanks during the periods in this report. | ||||||||||||||
Intermediation | ||||||||||||||
Notional amounts of $130.0 million of interest rate swaps outstanding at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 represented derivative contracts in which the FHLBNY acted as an intermediary to sell derivatives to members. Separately, the contracts were offset with contracts purchased from unrelated derivatives dealers. Net fair value exposures of these transactions at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were not significant. The intermediated derivative transactions with members were fully collateralized. | ||||||||||||||
Loans to Other Federal Home Loan Banks | ||||||||||||||
In the three months ended March 31, 2014, the FHLBNY extended overnight loans for a total of $1.3 billion. In the three months ended March 31, 2013, the FHLBNY extended overnight loans for a total of $2.4 billion. Generally, loans made to other FHLBanks are uncollateralized.

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

Pending merger of FHLBNY member banks — Hudson City Savings Bank and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company — On August 27, 2012, Hudson City Bancorp, Inc (“Hudson City”) announced that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with M&T Bank Corporation and Wilmington Trust Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of M&T Bank Corporation. The Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T Bank”) would continue as the surviving bank. The Merger Agreement was subject to, among other items, shareholder and regulatory approvals. At the time the deal was announced, the parties also indicated their intention to pay off FHLBNY advances upon the closing of the merger transaction. | ||||||||||||||
In April 2013, the parties to the merger anticipated needing additional time and extended the projected merger completion date from August 27, 2013 to January 31, 2014. In December 2013, the parties to the merger announced a new deadline date of December 31, 2014 for completing the merger. Hudson City and M&T Bank are members of the FHLBNY. | ||||||||||||||
We do not expect the merger to have a significant adverse impact on our financial position, cash flows or earnings. Assuming the advances are early terminated by Hudson City upon completion of the merger, an action they indicated in a public statement made in 2012, we expect to receive prepayment fees that will make us economically whole. However, prepayments may cause a decline in our book of business if the terminated advances are not replaced by new borrowings by other members. A lower volume of advances could result in lower net interest income and impact earnings in future periods. | ||||||||||||||

Assessments. Affordable Housing Program (“AHP”) Assessments — Each FHLBank, including the FHLBNY, provides subsidies in the form of direct grants and below-market interest rate advances to members, who use the funds to assist in the purchase, construction or rehabilitation of housing for very low-, low- and moderate-income households. Annually, the 12 FHLBanks must set aside the greater of $100 million or 10% of their regulatory defined net income for the Affordable Housing Program. | |
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates | ' |
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates | |
The FHLBNY has identified certain accounting policies that it believes are significant because they require management to make subjective judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or by using different assumptions. These policies include estimating the allowance for credit losses on the advance and mortgage loan portfolios, evaluating the impairment of the Bank’s securities portfolios, and estimating fair values of certain assets and liabilities. There have been no significant changes to accounting policies from those identified in Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in Notes to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 24, 2014, which contains a summary of the Bank’s significant accounting policies and estimates. | |

Framework for Adversely Classifying Loans, Other Real Estate Owned, and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention. On April 9, 2012, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”), the FHLBank’s regulator, issued Advisory Bulletin 2012-02 (“Advisory Bulletin”) that establishes adverse classification, identification of Special Mention assets and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The guidance is expected to be applied prospectively, and was effective at issuance. The FHFA issued additional guidance that extended the effective date of classification aspects of this Advisory Bulletin to January 1, 2014. Adoption in the first quarter of 2014 had no impact on of the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. | |
The Advisory Bulletin also prescribes the timing of asset charge-offs if an asset is at 180 days or more past due, subject to certain conditions. That guidance is not effective until January 1, 2015 and is further discussed in Note 2. Recently issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations. | |
Joint and Several Liability Arrangements. In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date. This guidance requires an entity to measure these obligations as the sum of (1) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and (2) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. In addition, this guidance requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. This guidance became effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2014 and is to be applied retrospectively for obligations with joint and several liabilities existing at January 1, 2014. The guidance had no effect on the FHLBNY’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |

(a) Derivative instruments without legal right of offset were synthetic derivatives representing forward mortgage delivery commitments of 45 days or less. It was operationally not practical to separate receivable from payables, and net presentation was adopted. No cash collateral was involved with the mortgage delivery commitments, which are accounted as derivatives. | ||||||||||||||||||
(b) Unsecured amounts represent Derivative assets and liabilities recorded in the Statements of Condition at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 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. | ||||||||||||||||||
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 - The maximum period of time that the Bank typically hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions in this program is between three and nine months. There were no open contracts at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The amount in AOCI from closed cash flow hedges was a net unrecognized loss of $8.0 million and $8.7 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014, it is expected that over the next 12 months, $2.6 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 — At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $1.3 billion of notional amounts of the interest rate swaps were outstanding under this program. Net unrealized fair values losses of $42.6 million and $22.3 million were recorded in AOCI at those dates. The cash flow hedges mitigated exposure to the variability in future cash flows for a maximum period of 15 years. Long-term swap rates at March 31, 2014 had steepened significantly, and previously recorded cumulative fair value losses were partially recovered. The FHLBNY’s cash payments are fixed, and in return it receives LIBOR-indexed floating rate cash flows; in a rising rate environment, the amount of forecasted cash flows that it would potentially receive grows larger effectively reducing unrealized losses. | ||||||||||||||||||
(c) Effective portion was recorded in AOCI. Ineffectiveness was immaterial and was recorded within Net income. | ||||||||||||||||||
(d) Represents unrecognized loss from cash flow hedges recorded in AOCI. |

(a) Advance — The FHLBNY has elected the FVO for certain short- and intermediate term floating-rate advances. The elections were made primarily as a natural fair value offset to debt elected under the FVO. | ||||||||||||||||||||
(b) The Bank has elected the FVO for 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 remain highly effective hedges through their terms to maturities. |

(a) Contractual obligations related to interest payments on long-term debt are calculated by applying the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding long-term debt at March 31, 2014 to the contractual payment obligations on long-term debt for each forecasted period disclosed in the table. At March 31, 2014, the FHLBNY’s overall weighted average contractual interest rate for long-term debt was 0.80%. 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) Immaterial amount of commitments for equipment leases are not included. | |||||||||||||||||
(c) 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 the Postretirement Health Benefit Plan and Benefit Equalization Plan. For more information about these employee retirement plans, see Note 14. Employee Retirement Plans. | |||||||||||||||||
(d) Qualified Pension Liability — The DB Plan is on a fiscal year ending June 30, and the liability represents expected cash payments to fund the DB Plan for the 3-fiscal years beginning July 1, 2014. |
