Notes to Supplemental Disclosure:

Non-cash transactions not included in the Statements of Cash Flows in the three months ended March 31, 2018:

(a)Ambac corporate notes at fair values of $3.6 million were received as non-cash considerations on mortgage-backed securities insured by the Ambac Corporation.  The notes were designated as Trading Securities.

(b)Equity Investments at fair values of $48.6 million were recorded at January 1, 2018 as a non-cash transfer from the available-for-sale category to Equity Investments upon adoption of ASU 2016-01.  The ASU requires certain equity investments to be measured at fair value through earnings, thus eliminating eligibility for the available-for-sale category.  Upon implementation of the ASU, a $4.9 million cumulative catch-up adjustment, representing net valuation gain at December 31, 2017, was reclassified from AOCI to retained earnings at January 1, 2018.

(c)Non-cash $0.4 million principal pay-down on a held-to-maturity MBS that was also part of the considerations received from Ambac Corporation.

Other Notes

(d)Does not include payments to holders of mandatorily redeemable capital stock.  Such payments are considered as interest expense and reported within operating cash flows.

(e)     Cash and due from banks did not include any restricted cash or cash equivalents.  Includes pass-thru reserves at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.  See Note 3. Cash and Due from Banks for further information.

(f)Interest paid disclosures have been supplemented for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 under the disclosure guidance provided by ASU 2016-15 Statements of Cash flows (Topic 230), “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”, which the FHLBNY adopted on January 1, 2018: the line item is the portion of the cash payments at settlement of zero-coupon Consolidated obligation discount notes.

(g)AHP payments = (beginning accrual - ending accrual) + AHP assessment for the period; payments represent funds released to the Affordable Housing Program.

Background

The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY” or “the Bank”) is a federally chartered corporation, and is one of 11 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 11 FHLBanks must allocate the greater of $100 million or 10% of their regulatory defined net income for the Affordable Housing Program.

Note 1.Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and with the instructions provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

The FHLBNY has identified certain accounting policies that it believes are significant because they require management to make subjective judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or by using different assumptions.  These policies include estimating the allowance for credit losses on the advance and mortgage loan portfolios, evaluating the impairment of the FHLBNY’s securities portfolios, and estimating fair values of certain assets and liabilities.  Other than the recently adopted policies as discussed below, 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 22, 2018, which contains a summary of the Bank’s significant accounting policies and estimates.

Recently Adopted Significant Accounting Policies

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.  In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, as an amendment to Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10).  The amendments provide guidance on certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments.

This ASU requires entities to present separately in OCI the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments.  To evaluate this provision, we have analyzed the FHLBank issued Consolidated obligation debt (“CO debt”), for which the fair value option has been elected, and have estimated the instrument-specific credit risk of CO debt as deminimis, if any, and accordingly no cumulative catch-up reclassification was necessary upon adoption at January 1, 2018.

The ASU also requires certain equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, thus eliminating eligibility for the current available-for-sale category.  Our analysis of this provision in the ASU identified certain mutual fund assets in grantor trusts that were designated as available-for-sale and subject to this provision of the ASU.  The adoption of the guidance on January 1, 2018, resulted in an immaterial cumulative catch-up reclassification of the fair values of the trust assets from AOCI to retained earnings.  Prior period financial statements would not be subject to restatement under the transition provisions of this ASU.

Revenue Recognition.  In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  The FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) initiated a joint project to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) that would remove inconsistencies and improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and industries, and provide more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements.  The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The guidance provides entities with the option of using either of the following adoption methods: a full retrospective method, retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented; or a modified retrospective method, retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this guidance recognized at the date of initial application.  The FHLBNY elected to use the modified retrospective method to adopt the guidance as of January 1, 2018.

Our net income is derived principally from net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of this guidance.  Certain other streams of non-interest revenues, which relate to fee revenues from commitments and financial letters of credit, were evaluated and we have concluded that such fees and associated expenses are out of scope of the standard and therefore will not be impacted by the adoption of this guidance.  We have also analyzed the recognition of gains and losses when mortgage loans are foreclosed and transferred to real estate owned status (“OREO”), and have concluded that while such line items are in-scope of the standard, adoption resulted in an immaterial impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

For information on policies adopted in 2017, see Recently Adopted Significant Accounting Policies in Note 1 in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 22, 2018.

Note 2.                     Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Derivatives and Hedging.  In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (Topic 815).  The FASB has issued this ASU with the objective of improving the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. In addition to that main objective, the amendments in this ASU make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP.  The amendments in this guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (January 1, 2019 for the FHLBNY).  While early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the ASU, the FHLBNY has elected to not early adopt the guidances under the ASU.

While the FHLBNY is in the process of evaluating this ASU, we expect to realize operational benefits upon adoption, and potentially to also benefit from expanded hedging opportunities permitted under the ASU.  Other than changes in disclosures required under the ASU, the FHLBNY does not believe adoption will have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Accounting for Financial Instruments — Credit Losses.  In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326).  The ASU introduces a new accounting model, the Current Expected Credit Losses model (“CECL”), which requires earlier recognition of credit losses, while also providing additional transparency about credit risk.  The FASB’s CECL model utilizes a lifetime “expected credit loss” measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans, held-to-maturity securities and other receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired.  The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in

10

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited

expected lifetime credit losses.  For available-for-sale securities where fair value is less than cost, credit-related impairment, if any, will be recognized in an allowance for credit losses and adjusted each period for changes in expected credit risk.  This model replaces the multiple existing impairment models in current GAAP, which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized.  We are in the process of evaluating this guidance.  The CECL model represents a significant departure from existing GAAP, but we do not expect adoption will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.  This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2020.  Early application is permitted as of the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (January 1, 2019 for the FHLBNY).  The FHLBNY does not intend to early adopt the ASU.

Lease Accounting.  In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is intended to increase transparency and comparability of accounting for lease transactions.  The ASU will require lessees to recognize all leases on the balance sheet as lease assets and lease liabilities and will require both quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding key information about leasing arrangements.  The FHLBNY will adopt the guidance on its effective date of January 1, 2019.  In 2017, we entered into long-term lease contracts for our office premises in New York and New Jersey.  Beginning January 1, 2019, all leases will be recognized on our balance sheet under ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842).  Recognition of the “right-to-use” asset and an offsetting lease liability for our operating leases under the ASU would have a minimal impact on our statements of condition and the statements of income upon adoption.  The leasing standard is required to be applied to leases in existence as of the date of adoption, January 1, 2019, and under recent amendments to the ASU, entities may elect not to restate comparative periods.

Note 3.      Cash and Due from Banks.

Cash on hand, cash items in the process of collection, and amounts due from correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve Banks are included in Cash and due from banks.  The FHLBNY is exempted from maintaining any required clearing balance at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Compensating Balances

The FHLBNY maintains compensating collected cash balances at Citibank in return for certain fee based safekeeping and back office operational services that the counterparty provides to the FHLBNY.  There are no restrictions on the withdrawal of funds.  There was no compensating balance at March 31, 2018; at December 31, 2017, the compensating balance at Citibank included in Cash and due from banks was $41.1 million.

Pass-through Deposit Reserves

The FHLBNY acts as a pass-through correspondent for member institutions who are required by banking regulations to deposit reserves with the Federal Reserve Banks.  Pass-through reserves deposited with Federal Reserve Banks on behalf of the members by the FHLBNY were $76.5 million at March 31, 2018 and $84.2 million at December 31, 2017.  The liabilities offsetting the pass-through reserves were due to member institutions and were recorded in Other liabilities in the Statements of Condition.

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

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

Securities purchased under agreements to resell — As part of the FHLBNY’s banking activities, the FHLBNY may enter into secured financing transactions that mature overnight, and can be extended only at the discretion of the FHLBNY.  These transactions involve the lending of cash, against which marketable securities are taken as collateral.  The amount of cash loaned against the collateral is a function of the liquidity and quality of the collateral.  The collateral is typically in the form of securities that meet the FHLBNY’s credit quality standards, are highly-rated and readily marketable.  The FHLBNY has the ability to call for additional collateral if the value of the securities falls below a pre-defined haircut.  The FHLBNY can terminate the transaction and liquidate the collateral

if the counterparty fails to post the additional margin.  Agreements generally allow the FHLBNY to repledge securities under certain conditions.  No adjustments for instrument-specific credit risk were deemed necessary as market values of collateral were in excess of principal amounts loaned.

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the outstanding balances of Securities purchased under agreements to resell were $4.1 billion and $2.7 billion that matured overnight, and were executed through a tri-party arrangement that involved transfer of overnight funds to a segregated safekeeping account at the Bank of New York (“BONY”); BONY, acting as an independent agent on behalf of the FHLBNY and the counterparty to the transactions, assumes the responsibility of receiving eligible securities as collateral and releasing funds to the counterparty.  U.S. Treasury securities, market values $4.2 billion and $2.8 billion, were received at BONY to collateralize the overnight investments at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.  No overnight investments had been executed bilaterally with counterparties.  Securities purchased under agreements to resell averaged $2.8 billion and $2.3 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.  Interest income from securities purchased under agreements to resell were $10.1 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the same period in 2017.

Transactions recorded as Securities purchased under agreements to resell (reverse repos) were accounted as collateralized financing transactions.

Impairment Analysis of AFS Securities

The FHLBNY’s portfolio of MBS classified as AFS is comprised of GSE-issued collateralized mortgage obligations and floating rate CMBS, and U.S. Agency issued MBS.  The FHLBNY evaluates its GSE-issued securities by considering the creditworthiness and performance of the debt securities and the strength of the government-sponsored enterprises’ guarantees of the securities.  Fair values of mortgage-backed securities in the AFS portfolio were in excess of their amortized costs at March 31, 2018, and no security was in a loss position for 12 months or longer in the first quarter 2018.  Based on the analysis, GSE-issued securities are performing in accordance with their contractual agreements.  The FHLBNY believes that it will recover its investments in GSE-issued securities given the current levels of collateral, credit enhancements and guarantees that exist to protect the investments.

Redemption Terms

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

	March 31, 2018				December 31, 2017
	Amortized Cost (c)		Fair Value		Amortized Cost (c)		Fair Value

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

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

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

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

Certain non-Agency Private label MBS are insured by Ambac Assurance Corp (“Ambac”), MBIA Insurance Corp (“MBIA”) and Assured Guarantee Municipal Corp., (“AGM”).  Assumptions on the extent of expected reliance by the FHLBNY on insurance support by Ambac, AGM and MBIA to make whole expected cash shortfalls are noted under “Monoline insurance” within this Note 8.  Held-to-Maturity Securities.

Securities Pledged

The FHLBNY had pledged MBS, with an amortized cost basis of $5.5 million at March 31, 2018 and $5.7 million at December 31, 2017, to the FDIC in connection with deposits maintained by the FDIC at the FHLBNY.  The FDIC does not have rights to sell or repledge the collateral unless the FHLBNY defaults under the terms of its deposit arrangements with the FDIC.

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

The following tables summarize held-to-maturity securities with estimated fair values below their amortized cost basis (in thousands):

The FHLBNY’s investments in housing finance agency bonds reported gross unrealized losses of $27.1 million at March 31, 2018 and $33.0 million at December 31, 2017.  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, 2018 all of the gross unrealized losses on its housing finance agency bonds are temporary because the underlying collateral and credit enhancements are sufficient to protect the FHLBNY from losses based on current expectations.

The credit enhancements may include additional support from:

·Monoline Insurance

·Reserve and investment funds allocated to the securities that may be used to make principal and interest payments in the event that the underlying loans pledged for these securities are not sufficient to make the necessary payments

·General obligation of the State

Our analyses of the fair values of HFA bonds have concluded that the market is generally pricing the bonds to the “AA municipal sector”.  Based on our review, the FHLBNY expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.

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

The FHLBNY evaluates its individual securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and U.S. government agency, (collectively GSE-issued securities), by considering the creditworthiness and performance of the debt securities and the strength of the GSEs’ guarantees of the securities.  Based on analysis, GSE-issued securities are performing in accordance with their contractual agreements.  The FHLBNY believes that it will recover its investments in GSE- issued securities given the current levels of collateral, credit enhancements and guarantees that exist to protect the investments.  Management evaluates its investments in private-label MBS (“PLMBS”) for OTTI on a quarterly basis by performing cash flow tests on its entire portfolio of PLMBS.

OTTI — No OTTI was recorded in any periods in this report.  Based on cash flow testing, the Bank believes no additional material OTTI exists for the remaining investments at March 31, 2018.  The Bank’s conclusion is also based upon multiple factors, but not limited to the expected performance of the underlying collateral, and the evaluation of the fundamentals of the issuers’ financial condition.  Management has not made a decision to sell such securities at March 31, 2018, and has concluded that it will not be required to sell such securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis of the securities.

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

Ending balance	$	21,092		$	26,822

Monoline insurance — Certain PLMBS owned by the FHLBNY are insured by third-party bond insurers (“monoline insurers”).  The bond insurance on these investments guarantees the timely payments of principal and interest if these payments cannot be satisfied from the cash flows of the underlying mortgage pool.  The FHLBNY performs cash flow credit impairment tests on all of its PLMBS, and the analysis of the securities protected by such third-party insurance looks first to the performance of the underlying security, and considers its embedded credit enhancements in the form of excess spread, overcollateralization, and credit subordination, to determine the collectability of all amounts due.  If the embedded credit enhancement protections are deemed insufficient to make timely payment of all amounts due, then the FHLBNY considers the capacity of the third-party bond insurer to cover any shortfalls.  Certain monoline insurers have been subject to adverse ratings, rating downgrades, and weakening financial performance measures.  In estimating the insurers’ capacity to provide credit protection in the future to cover any shortfall in cash flows expected to be collected for securities deemed OTTI, the FHLBNY has developed a methodology to analyze and assess the ability of the monoline insurers to meet future insurance obligations.  Based on analysis performed, the FHLBNY has determined that for bond insurer AGM, insurance guarantees can be relied upon to cover projected shortfalls.  For bond insurer MBIA, financial guarantee is at risk and no financial guarantees were assumed in 2018.  For bond insurer Ambac, our analysis has determined improvements in the insurer’s financial position, and we have expanded the reliance basis from 45% at December 31, 2017 to 100% at March 31, 2018 for all periods through March 31, 2024.

Note 10.Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio.

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

The FHLBNY classifies mortgage loans as held for investment, and accordingly reports them at their principal amount outstanding net of unamortized premiums, discounts, and unrealized gains and losses from loans initially classified as mortgage loan commitments.

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

(b)Balances represent unamortized fair value basis of closed delivery commitments.  A basis adjustment is recorded at the settlement of the loan and it represents the difference in trade price paid for acquiring the loan and the price at the settlement date for a similar loan.  The basis adjustment 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 bps, but this varies with the particular MPF product.  The amount of the first layer, or First Loss Account (“FLA”), was estimated at $33.7 million and $33.3 million at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.  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 agreed to assume at the “Master Commitment” level.  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 $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.  These fees were reported as a reduction to mortgage loan interest income.

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

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

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

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

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

(5)The third layer of losses is absorbed by the FHLBNY.

Allowance Methodology for Loan Losses

Allowance policy — Mortgage loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the FHLBNY will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage loan agreements.  The FHLBNY considers a loan to be seriously delinquent when it is past due 90 days or more.  The FHLBNY considers the occurrence of serious delinquency as a primary confirming event of a credit loss.  Bankruptcy and foreclosures are also considered as confirming events.  When a loan is seriously delinquent, or in bankruptcy or in foreclosure, the FHLBNY measures estimated credit losses on an individual loan basis by looking to the value of the real property collateral.  For such loans, the FHLBNY believes it is probable that we will be unable to collect all contractual interest and principal in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.  For loans that have not been individually measured for estimated credit losses (i.e. they are not seriously delinquent, or in bankruptcy or in foreclosure), the FHLBNY measures estimated incurred credit losses on a collective basis and records a valuation reserve.

When a loan is delinquent 180 days or more, the FHLBNY will charge-off the excess carrying value over the net realizable value of the loan because the FHLBNY deems that foreclosure is probable at 180 days delinquency.  When the loan is foreclosed and the FHLBNY takes possession of real estate, the balance of the loan that has not been charged off is recorded as real estate owned at the lower of carrying value or net realizable value.

Periodic review — The FHLBNY performs periodic reviews of impaired mortgage loans within the MPF loan portfolio to identify the potential for credit losses inherent in the impaired loan to determine the likelihood of collection of the principal and interest.  We utilize an allowance for credit losses to reserve for estimated losses in our conventional mortgage loan portfolio (uninsured MPF loans).  The measurement of our allowance for credit losses is determined by (i) reviewing certain conventional mortgage loans for impairment on an individual basis, (ii) reviewing remaining conventional mortgage loans (not individually assessed) on a collective basis, and (iii) reviewing government insured loans (FHA- and VA-insured MPF loans) on a collective basis.

We compute the provision for credit losses without considering the private mortgage insurance and other accompanying credit enhancement features that provide credit assurance to the FHLBNY.

·Individually evaluated conventional mortgage loans — We evaluate impaired conventional mortgage loans for impairment individually.  A conventional mortgage loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The primary credit quality indicator that we use in evaluating impairment on mortgage loans includes a serious delinquency rate — MPF loans that are 90 days or more past due, in bankruptcy, or in the process of foreclosure.  We also individually measure credit losses on loans that are restructured in a troubled debt restructuring involving a modification of terms.  Loans discharged under Chapter 7 bankruptcy are considered TDR, and are individually measured for credit losses when seriously delinquent.  We measure estimated credit impairment based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, which is determined using property values, less selling costs.

·Collectively evaluated conventional mortgage loans — We collectively evaluate the majority of our conventional mortgage loan portfolio for impairment (excluding those individually evaluated), and estimate an allowance for credit losses based primarily upon the following factors: (i) loan delinquencies, and (ii) actual historical loss severities.  We utilize a roll-rate methodology when estimating allowance for credit losses.  This methodology projects loans migrating to charge off status (180 days delinquency) based on historical average rates of delinquency.  We then apply a loss severity factor to calculate an estimate of credit losses.

·Collectively evaluated government insured loans — The FHLBNY invests in government-insured mortgage loans that are insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and/or the Rural Housing Service of the Department of Agriculture.  The servicer or PFI obtains and maintains insurance or a guaranty from the applicable government agency.  The servicer or PFI is responsible for compliance with all government agency requirements and for obtaining the benefit of the applicable guarantee or insurance with respect to defaulted government-insured mortgage loans.  Any losses incurred on these loans that are not recovered from the insurer/guarantor are absorbed by the

24

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited

servicers.  The FHLBNY’s credit risk for these loans is if the servicer or PFI fails to pay for losses not covered by the guarantee or insurance.  We evaluate the credit worthiness of our member, the PFI.

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.  For certain MPF products, the CE fees are held back for 12 months and then paid monthly to the PFIs.  Under the MPF agreements with PFIs, the FHLBNY may recover credit losses from future CE fees.  The FHLBNY does not consider CE fees when computing the allowance for credit losses.  It is assumed that repayment is expected to be provided solely by the sale of the underlying property, and there is no other available and reliable source of repayment.  If losses were 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 in all periods in this report.

Allowance for Credit Losses

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

Note 12.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 obligation bonds (“CO bonds” or “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 obligation discount notes (“CO discount notes”, “Discount notes”, or “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 following table summarizes Consolidated obligations issued by the FHLBNY and outstanding at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (in thousands):

	March 31, 2018			December 31, 2017

Total Consolidated obligation discount notes	$	56,509,976		$	49,613,671

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

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

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

(d)Hedge basis adjustments on terminated hedges represent the unamortized balances of valuation basis of fixed-rate bonds that were previously in a fair value hedging relationship.  Generally, when a hedging relationship is de-designated, the valuation basis is no longer adjusted for changes in the valuation of the debt for changes in the benchmark rate; instead, the basis is amortized over the debt’s remaining life, so that at maturity of the debt, the unamortized basis is reversed to zero.

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

Note 14.Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings.

The FHLBanks, including the FHLBNY, have a cooperative structure.  To access the FHLBNY’s products and services, a financial institution must be approved for membership and purchase capital stock in the FHLBNY.  A member’s stock requirement is generally based on its use of FHLBNY products, subject to a minimum membership requirement as prescribed by the FHLBank Act and the FHLBNY’s Capital Plan.  FHLBNY stock can be issued, exchanged, redeemed and repurchased only at its stated par value of $100 per share.  It is not publicly traded.  An option to redeem capital stock that is greater than a member’s minimum requirement is held by both the member and the FHLBNY.  The FHLBNY’s Capital Plan offers two sub-classes of Class B capital stock, membership and activity-based capital stock.  Membership and Activity-based Class B capital stock have the same voting rights and dividend rates.  Members can redeem Class B stock by giving five years notice.  The FHLBNY’s capital plan does not provide for the issuance of Class A capital stock.

The FHLBNY is subject to risk-based capital rules of the Finance Agency, the regulator of the FHLBanks.

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

	March 31, 2018						December 31, 2017

Leverage capital (c)	$	7,594,080		$	11,858,155		$	7,945,919		$	12,474,347

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

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

(c)The required leverage ratio of total capital to total assets should be at least 5.0%.  For the purposes of determining the leverage ratio, total capital shall be computed by multiplying the Bank’s Permanent Capital by 1.5.

(d)Required minimum.

(e)Under regulatory guidelines issued by the Finance Agency in August 2011 that was consistent with guidance provided by other federal banking agencies with respect to capital rules, risk weights are maintained at AAA for U.S. Treasury securities and other securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, government agencies, and government-sponsored entities for purposes of calculating risk-based capital.

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock

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

Estimated redemption periods were as follows (in thousands):

	March 31, 2018		December 31, 2017
Redemption less than one year	$	12,633	$	13,672
Redemption from one year to less than three years	1,142		1,145
Redemption from three years to less than five years	442		445
Redemption from five years or greater	4,547		4,683
Total	$	18,764	$	19,945

Ending balance	$	18,764		$	20,506
Accrued interest payable (b)	$	308		$	325

(a)Redemption includes repayment of excess stock.

(b)The annualized accrual rate was 6.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 5.65% for the three months ended March 31, 2017.  Accrual rates are based on estimated dividend rates.

Restricted Retained Earnings

Under the FHLBank Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement (“Capital Agreement”), each FHLBank is required to set aside 20% of its Net income each quarter to a restricted retained earnings account until the balance of that account equals at least one percent of that FHLBank’s average balance of outstanding Consolidated obligations.  The Capital Agreement is intended to enhance the capital position of each FHLBank.  These restricted retained earnings will not be available to pay dividends.  Retained earnings included $504.4 million and $479.2 million as restricted retained earnings in the FHLBNY’s Total Capital at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Note 16.Employee Retirement Plans.

The FHLBNY participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (“Pentegra DB Plan”), a tax-qualified, defined-benefit multiemployer pension plan that covers all officers and employees of the Bank.  The Bank also participates in the Pentegra Defined Contribution Plan for Financial Institutions, a tax-qualified defined contribution plan.  The FHLBNY also offers two non-qualified pension plans — Benefit Equalization Plans.  The two plans restore defined benefits for those employees who have had their qualified Defined Benefit Plan and their Defined Contribution Plan limited by IRS regulations.  The non-qualified BEP that restores benefits to participant’s Defined Contribution Plan was introduced effective at January 1, 2017.  The two non-qualified Benefit Equalization Plans (“BEP”) are unfunded.

Note 17.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 and Note 16.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 22, 2018.

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

Typically, we execute derivatives under three hedging strategies — 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;

34

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited

by acting as an intermediary; or by designating the derivative as an asset-liability management hedge (i.e. an “economic hedge”).

For fair value hedges, in which derivatives hedge the fair values of assets and liabilities, changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in Other income in the Statements of Income, together with fair values of the hedged item related to the hedged risk.  These amounts are expected to, and generally do, offset each other.

For cash flow hedges, in which derivatives hedge the variability of cash flows related to floating- and fixed-rate assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions, the accounting treatment depends on the effectiveness of the hedge.  To the extent these derivatives are effective in offsetting the variability of hedged cash flows, the effective portion of the changes in the derivatives’ fair values will not be included in current earnings, but is reported in AOCI.  These changes in fair value will be included in earnings of future periods when the hedged cash flows impact earnings.  To the extent these cash flow hedges are not effective, changes in their fair values are immediately recorded in Other income in the Statements of Income.

When designating a derivative in an economic hedge, it 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.

Credit Risk Due to Non-performance by Counterparties

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

Derivatives are instruments that derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates and other inputs, or a combination of these factors.  The FHLBNY executes derivatives with swap dealers and financial institution swap counterparties as negotiated contracts, which are usually referred to as over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives.

The majority of OTC derivative contracts at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were cleared derivatives.  The contracts are transacted bilaterally with executing swap counterparties, then cleared and settled through derivative clearing organizations (“DCOs”) as mandated under the Dodd-Frank Act.  When transacting a derivative for clearing, the FHLBNY utilizes a designated clearing agent, the Futures Clearing Merchant (“FCM”) that acts on behalf of the FHLBNY to clear and settle the interest rate exchange transaction through the DCO.  Once the transaction is accepted for clearing by the FCM, acting in the capacity of an intermediary between the FHLBNY and the DCO, the original transaction between the FHLBNY and the executing swap counterparty is extinguished, and is replaced by an identical transaction between the FHLBNY and the DCO.  The DCO becomes the counterparty to the FHLBNY.  However, the FCM remains as the principal operational contact and interacts with the DCO through the life cycle events of the derivative transaction on behalf of the FHLBNY.

The FHLBNY also transacts derivative contracts that are executed and settled bilaterally with counterparties, rather than settling the transaction with a DCO.  Such bilateral derivative transactions have not yet been mandated for clearing under the Dodd-Frank Act, typically because the transactions are complex and their ongoing pricing and settlement mechanisms have not yet been operationalized by the DCOs.

Credit risk on bilateral OTC — bilateral or uncleared derivative contracts — For derivatives that are not eligible for clearing with a DCO under the Dodd-Frank Act, the FHLBNY is subject to credit risk as a result of

non-performance by swap counterparties to the derivative agreements.  The FHLBNY enters into master netting arrangements and bilateral security agreements with all active derivative counterparties that provide for delivery of collateral at specified levels to limit the net unsecured credit exposure to these counterparties.  The FHLBNY makes judgments on each counterparty’s creditworthiness, and makes estimates of the collateral values in analyzing counterparty non-performance credit risk.  Bilateral agreements consider the credit risks and the agreement specifies thresholds to post or receive collateral with changes in credit ratings.  When the FHLBNY has more than one derivative transaction outstanding with the counterparty, and a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists with the counterparty, the net exposure (less collateral held) represents the appropriate measure of credit risk.  The FHLBNY conducts all its bilaterally executed derivative transactions under ISDA master netting agreements.

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

The enforceability of offsetting rights incorporated in the agreements for the cleared derivative transactions has been analyzed by the FHLBNY to establish the extent to which supportive legal opinion, obtained from counsel of recognized standing, provides the requisite level of certainty regarding the enforceability of these agreements.  Further analysis was performed to reach a view that the exercise of rights by the non-defaulting party under these agreements would not be stayed, or avoided under applicable law upon an event of default including bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving the DCO or the FHLBNY’s clearing agents or both.  Based on the analysis of the rules, and legal analysis obtained, the FHLBNY has made a determination that it has the right of setoff that is enforceable under applicable law that would allow it to net individual derivative contracts executed through a specific clearing agent, the FCM, to a designated DCO, so that a net derivative receivable or payable will be recorded for the DCO; that exposure (less margin held) would be represented by a single amount receivable from the DCO, and that amount be the appropriate measure of credit risk.  This policy election for netting cleared derivatives is consistent with the policy election for netting bilaterally settled derivative transactions under master netting agreements.

For all cleared derivative contracts that have not matured, “Variation margin” is exchanged between the FHLBNY and the FCM, acting as agents on behalf of DCOs.  Variation margin is determined by the DCO and fluctuates with the fair values of the open contracts.  When the aggregate contract value of open derivatives is “in-the-money” for the FHLBNY (gain position), the FHLBNY would receive variation margin from the DCO.  If the value of the open contracts is “out-of-the-money” (liability position), the FHLBNY would post variation margin to the DCO.  At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our analysis concluded that variation margin exchanged with the DCOs - Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) and London Clearing House (“LCH”) were the daily settlement values of the derivative contracts, and not as collateral, and a direct reduction of the fair values of the open contracts.

The FHLBNY is also required to post an initial margin on open derivative contracts to the DCO through an FCM.  Initial margin is determined by the DCO and fluctuates with the volatility of the FHLBNY’s portfolio of cleared derivatives; volatility is measured by the speed and severity of market price changes of the portfolio.  Initial margin is considered as collateral, and if exchanged in cash, it would be netted against the fair values of open derivative contracts after applying variation margin.

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities — Net Presentation

The following table presents the gross and net derivatives receivables by contract type and amount for those derivatives contracts for which netting is permissible under U.S. GAAP (“Derivative instruments — Nettable”) (in thousands).  Derivatives receivables have been netted with respect to those receivables as to which the netting requirements have been met, including obtaining a legal analysis with respect to the enforceability of the netting.  Where such a legal analysis has not been either sought or obtained, the receivables were not netted, and were reported as Derivative instruments — Not Nettable.  The table also presents security collateral, which are not permitted to be offset, but which would be eligible for offsetting to the extent an event of default occurred and a legal opinion supporting enforceability of the netting and collateral rights has been obtained.  See footnote (c) to the table.

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

(b)Amounts represented Derivative assets and liabilities recorded in the Statements of Conditions.  Derivative balances are not netted with non-cash collateral received or pledged, since legal ownership of the non-cash collateral remains with the pledging counterparty (see footnote c below).

(c)Non-cash collateral received or pledged — For bilateral derivatives, certain counterparties have pledged U.S. Treasury securities to the FHLBNY as collateral.  Amounts also included non-cash mortgage collateral on derivative positions with member counterparties where we acted as an intermediary.  For cleared derivatives, we have also pledged marketable securities to collateralize initial margin as required under the CFTC rules.

(d)Securities pledged to Derivative Clearing Organization to fulfill our initial margin obligations on cleared derivatives.  Securities pledged may be sold or repledged if the FHLBNY defaults on our obligations under rules established by the CFTC.

(e)Amounts represented net exposure after applying non-cash collateral pledged to and by the FHLBNY.  Since legal ownership and control over the securities are not transferred, the net exposure represented in the table above is for information only and is not reported as such in the Statements of Condition.

Note 1As discussed previously in this Note 17, variation margin is exchanged daily between the DCOs and the FHLBNY for cleared derivatives, and generally represented daily settlement of mark-to-market gains and losses on the derivative contracts.  At March 31, 2018, variation margin received from DCOs was $624.9 million and was netted as settlements of gross derivative fair values on a line-by-line basis as reported in the table above.  At December 31, 2017, $465.8 million in variation margin received by the FHLBNY was netted and reported in aggregate as a reduction of the gross derivative fair values.

Earnings Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The FHLBNY carries all derivative instruments on the Statements of Condition at fair value as Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities.  If derivatives meet the hedging criteria under hedge accounting rules, including effectiveness measures, changes in fair value of the associated hedged financial instrument attributable to the risk being hedged (benchmark interest-rate risk, which is LIBOR for the FHLBNY) may also be recorded so that some or all of the unrealized fair value gains or losses recognized on the derivatives are offset by corresponding unrealized gains or losses on the associated hedged financial assets and liabilities.  The net differential between fair value changes of the derivatives and the hedged items represents hedge ineffectiveness.  The net ineffectiveness from hedges that qualify under hedge accounting rules is recorded as a Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities in Other income (loss) in the Statements of Income.  If derivatives do not qualify for the hedging criteria under hedge accounting rules, but are executed as economic hedges of financial assets or liabilities under a FHLBNY-approved hedge strategy, only the fair value changes of the derivatives are recorded as a Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities in Other income (loss) in the Statements of Income.  The FHLBNY has elected to measure certain debt under the accounting designation for the fair value option (“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 both recorded in earnings within Other income (loss), they are recorded as separate line items: Changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded as a Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities; changes in the fair value of debt and advances elected under the FVO are recorded as an Unrealized (losses) or gains from Instruments held at fair value.

	$	10,086			$	(309	)	$	177

(a)Cash flow hedges of anticipated issuance of Consolidated obligation bonds

Changes in period recognized in AOCI — Amounts reported typically represent fair value gains and losses recorded in AOCI under the CO bond cash flow hedge strategy during the periods, and including fair values of hedging contracts open at period end dates.  Fair values recorded in AOCI are adjusted for any hedge ineffectiveness on the contracts.  When a cash flow hedge is closed, the fair value gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in AOCI, and is amortized and reclassified to interest expense with an offset to the cumulative balance in AOCI.

Amount Reclassified to Earnings — Amounts represented amortization of unrecognized losses from previously closed CO bond cash flow hedging contracts that were recorded as a yield adjustment to interest expense with an offset to reduce the unamortized balance in AOCI.

Ineffectiveness Recognized in Earnings — Amounts represented ineffectiveness primarily arising from CO bond cash flow hedging strategies.  Ineffectiveness is recorded in earnings as a gain or loss from derivative activities in Other income, while the effective portion is recorded in AOCI.  Amounts recorded in AOCI are subsequently reclassified prospectively as a yield adjustment to debt expense over the term of the debt.

(b)     Hedges of discount notes in rolling issuances

Changes in period recognized in AOCI — Amounts represented period-over-period change in the fair values of open swap contracts in this CO discount note cash flow hedging strategy (Rolling issuances of discount notes).  The cash flow hedges mitigated exposure to the variability in future cash flows over a maximum period of 14 years.

(c)Ineffectiveness recognized in earnings — The effective portion of the fair values of open contracts is recorded in AOCI.  Ineffectiveness is recorded in Other income as a component of derivatives and hedging gains and losses.

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.

It is expected that over the next 12 months, $0.2 million of the unrecognized gain in AOCI will be recognized as a yield adjustment to debt interest expense.

(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; the inputs may not be market based and observable.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The FHLBNY records trading securities, available-for-sale securities, derivative assets, derivative liabilities, and Consolidated obligations and advances elected under the FVO at fair values on a recurring basis.  On a non-recurring basis, when held-to-maturity securities are determined to be OTTI, the securities are written down, they are recorded at their fair values, and when mortgage loans held-for-portfolio are written down or are foreclosed as Other real estate owned (“REO” or “OREO”), they are recorded at the fair values of the real estate collateral supporting the mortgage loans.

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

These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy, and an entity must disclose the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements are classified for all assets and liabilities measured on a recurring or non-recurring basis:

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

·Level 2 Inputs — Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.  Level 2 inputs include the following: (1) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (2) quoted prices for identical

or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; (3) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals, and volatilities).

·Level 3 Inputs — Inputs that are unobservable and significant to the valuation of the asset or liability.

The inputs are evaluated on an overall level for the fair value measurement to be determined.  This overall level is an indication of market observability of the fair value measurement for the asset or liability.  Changes in the observability of the valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of certain assets or liabilities.  These reclassifications are reported as transfers in/out as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occur.  There were no such transfers in any periods in this report.

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

Summary of Valuation Techniques and Primary Inputs

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

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

Investment Debt Securities — The fair value of investment debt securities is estimated by the FHLBNY using pricing primarily from pricing services.  The pricing vendors typically use market multiples derived from a set of comparables, including matrix pricing, and other techniques.

Mortgage-backed securities — The FHLBNY’s valuation technique incorporates prices from up to three designated third-party pricing services at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.  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 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, typically subject to further validation.  Vendor prices that are outside of a defined tolerance threshold of the median price are identified as outliers and subject to additional review, including, but not limited to, comparison to prices provided by an additional third-party valuation service, prices for similar securities, and/or non-binding dealer estimates, or use of internal model prices, which are deemed to be reflective of all relevant facts and circumstances that a market participant would consider.  Such analysis is also applied in those limited instances where no third-party vendor price or only one third-party vendor price is available in order to arrive at an estimated fair value.

In its analysis, the FHLBNY employs the concept of cluster pricing and cluster tolerances.  Once the median prices are computed from the three pricing vendors, the second step is to determine which of the sourced prices fall within the required tolerance level interval to the median price, which forms the “cluster” of prices to be averaged.  This average will determine a “default” price for the security.  The cluster tolerance guidelines shall be reviewed annually and may be revised as necessary.  To be included among the cluster, each price must fall within 7 points of the

45

median price for residential PLMBS and within 3 points of the median price for GSE-issued MBS.  The final step is to determine the final price of the security based on the cluster average and an evaluation of any outlier prices.  If the analysis confirms that an outlier is not representative of fair value and that the average of the vendor prices within the tolerance threshold of the median price is the best estimate, then the average of the vendor prices within the tolerance threshold of the median price is used as the final price.  If, on the other hand, an outlier (or some other price identified in the analysis) is determined to be a better estimate of fair value, then the outlier (or the other price as appropriate) is used as the final price.  In all cases, the final price is used to determine the fair value of the security.

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

Based on the FHLBNY’s review processes, management has concluded that inputs into the pricing models employed by pricing services for the FHLBNY’s investments in GSE securities are market based and observable and are considered to be within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  The valuation of the private-label securities, all designated as held-to-maturity, may require pricing services to use significant inputs that are subjective and are considered to be within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  This determination was made based on management’s view that the private-label instruments may not have an active market because of the specific vintage of the securities as well as inherent conditions surrounding the trading of private-label MBS, so that the inputs may not be market based and observable.  At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, no held-to-maturity private-label MBS was deemed OTTI that would have also required the OTTI security to be written down to its fair value.

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.

Trading Securities — The FHLBNY classifies trading securities as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy when we use quoted market prices in active markets to determine the fair value of trading securities, such as U.S. government securities.  We classify trading securities as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when we use quoted market prices in less active markets to determine the fair value of trading securities.

Equity Investments — The FHLBNY has grantor trusts, which invest in money market, equity and fixed income and bond funds.  Investments in the trusts were classified as AFS before January 1, 2018.  Daily net asset values (“NAVs”) are readily available and investments are redeemable at short notice.  NAVs are the fair values of the funds in the grantor trusts.  Because of the highly liquid nature of the investments at their NAVs, they are categorized as Level 1 financial instruments under the valuation hierarchy.

Advances — The FHLBNY has elected the FVO designation for certain advances and recorded their fair values in the Statements of Condition for such advances.  The fair values are computed using standard option valuation models.  The most significant inputs to the valuation model are (1) Consolidated obligation debt curve (“CO Curve”), published by the Office of Finance and available to the public, and (2) LIBOR swap curves and volatilities.  Both these inputs are considered to be market based and observable as they can be directly corroborated by market participants.

The CO Curve is 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.

The FHLBNY determines the fair values of advances elected under the FVO 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 elected under the FVO 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, and were considered as not significant.

To determine the appropriate classification of the overall measurement in the fair value hierarchy of an advance, an analysis of the inputs to the entire fair value measurement was performed at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.  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 the significance factor has been established at 10%, with additional qualitative factors to be considered if the ratio exceeded the threshold.

Consolidated Obligations — The FHLBNY estimates the fair values of Consolidated obligations elected under the FVO 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 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 CO Curve and volatility assumptions (for debt with call options) were primary inputs, which are market based and observable.  Fair values were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities — The FHLBNY’s derivatives (cleared derivatives and bilaterally executed derivatives) are executed in the over-the-counter market and are valued using internal valuation techniques as no quoted market prices exist for such instruments.  Discounted cash flow analysis is the primary methodology employed by the FHLBNY’s valuation models to measure the fair values of interest rate swaps.  The valuation technique is considered as an “Income approach”.  Interest rate caps and floors are valued under the “Market approach”.  Interest rate swaps and interest rate caps and floors, collectively “derivatives”, were valued in industry-standard option adjusted valuation models, which generated fair values.  The valuation models employed multiple market inputs including interest rates, prices and indices to create continuous yield or pricing curves and volatility factors.  These multiple market inputs were corroborated by management to independent market data, and to relevant benchmark indices.  In addition, derivative valuations were compared by management to counterparty valuations received as part of the collateral exchange process.  These derivative positions were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

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

Interest-rate related:

·LIBOR Swap Curve.

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

·Prepayment assumption (if applicable).

·Federal funds curve (OIS curve).

Mortgage delivery commitments (considered a derivative):

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

OIS — The FHLBNY incorporates the overnight indexed swap (“OIS”) curves as fair value measurement inputs for the valuation of its derivatives, as the OIS curves reflect the interest rates paid on cash collateral provided against the fair value of these derivatives.  The FHLBNY believes using relevant OIS curves as inputs to determine fair value measurements provides a more representative reflection of the fair values of these collateralized interest-rate related derivatives.  The OIS curve (federal funds rate curve) is an input to the valuation model.  The input for the federal funds curve is obtained from industry standard pricing vendors and the input is available and observable over its entire term structure.

Management considers the federal funds curve to be a Level 2 input.  The FHLBNY’s valuation model utilizes industry standard OIS methodology.  The model generates forecasted cash flows using the OIS calibrated 3-month LIBOR curve.  The model then discounts the cash flows by the OIS curve to generate fair values.

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

To mitigate this risk, the FHLBNY has entered into master netting agreements and credit support agreements with its derivative counterparties for its bilaterally executed derivative contracts that provide for the delivery of collateral at specified levels at least weekly.  The computed fair values of the derivatives took into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements that allow the FHLBNY to settle positive and negative positions and offset cash collateral with the same counterparty on a net basis.

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

48

As a result of these practices and agreements and the FHLBNY’s assessment of any change in its own credit spread, the FHLBNY has concluded that the impact of the credit differential between the FHLBNY and its derivative counterparties and DCO was sufficiently mitigated to an immaterial level that no credit adjustments were deemed necessary to the recorded fair value of Derivative assets and Derivative liabilities in the Statements of Condition at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Fair Value Measurement

The tables below present the fair value of those assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, by level within the fair value hierarchy.  The FHLBNY also measures certain held-to-maturity securities at fair value on a non-recurring basis when a credit loss is recognized and the carrying value of the asset is adjusted to fair value.  Certain mortgage loans that were partially charged-off were recorded at their collateral values on a non-recurring basis.  Other real estate owned (“OREO”) 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 Statements of Condition.  Fair value is used for both the initial and subsequent measurement of the designated assets, liabilities and commitments, with the changes in fair value recognized in net income.  Interest income and interest expense on advances and Consolidated obligations at fair value are recognized solely on the contractual amount of interest due or unpaid.  Any transaction fees or costs are immediately recognized into non-interest income or non-interest expense.

The FHLBNY has elected the FVO for certain advances and certain Consolidated obligations that either do not qualify for hedge accounting or may be at risk for not meeting hedge effectiveness requirements, primarily in an effort to mitigate the potential income statement volatility that can arise from economic hedging relationships in which the carrying value of the hedged item is not adjusted for changes in fair value.  Advances have also been elected under the FVO when analysis indicated that changes in the fair values of the advance would be an offset to fair value volatility of debt elected under the FVO.  The FVO election is made at inception of the contracts for advances and debt obligations.

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 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

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

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

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

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

Note 19.Commitments and Contingencies.

Consolidated obligations — The FHLBanks have joint and several liability for all the Consolidated obligations issued on their behalf.  Accordingly, should one or more of the FHLBanks be unable to repay their participation in the Consolidated obligations, each of the other FHLBanks could be called upon to repay all or part of such obligations, as determined or approved by the Finance Agency.  Neither the FHLBNY nor any other FHLBank has ever had to assume or pay the Consolidated obligations of another FHLBank.  The FHLBNY does not believe that it will be called upon to pay the Consolidated obligations of another FHLBank in the future.  Under the provisions of accounting standards for guarantees, the FHLBNY would have been required to recognize the fair value of the FHLBNY’s joint and several liability for all the Consolidated obligations, as discussed above.  However, the FHLBNY considers the joint and several liabilities as similar to a related party guarantee, which meets the scope exception under the accounting standard for guarantees.  Accordingly, the FHLBNY has not recognized the fair value of a liability for its joint and several obligations related to other FHLBanks’ Consolidated obligations, which in aggregate were par amounts of $1.0 trillion as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

(a)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)We renewed the lease for the New York City office in June 2017.  In addition, our existing office lease in New Jersey expires in 2018, and we executed a new lease agreement in December 2017.  The Bank plans to adopt ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) in 2019.  Upon adoption the lease obligations will be recorded in the Statements of Condition.  Until then, lease obligations will continue to be reported as commitments under existing GAAP.  Immaterial amounts of equipment leases and shared offsite data backup site have been excluded.

(c)Includes accounts payable and accrued expenses, Pass-through reserves due to member institutions held at the FRB, and projected payment obligations for pension plans.  Where it was not possible to estimate the exact timing of payment obligations, they were assumed to be due within one year; amounts were not material.  For more information about employee retirement plans in general, see Note 16. Employee Retirement Plans.

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

Note 20.Related Party Transactions.

The FHLBNY is a cooperative and the members own almost all of the stock of the FHLBNY.  Stock issued and outstanding that is not owned by members is held by former members.  The majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the FHLBNY are elected by and from the membership.  The FHLBNY conducts its advances business almost exclusively with members, and considers its transactions with its members and non-member stockholders as related party transactions in addition to transactions with other FHLBanks, the Office of Finance, and the Finance Agency.  The FHLBNY conducts all transactions with members and non-members in the ordinary course of business.  All transactions with all members, including those whose officers may serve as directors of the FHLBNY, are at terms that are no more favorable than comparable transactions with other members.  The FHLBNY may from time to time borrow or sell overnight and term federal funds at market rates to members.

Debt Assumptions and Transfers.   When debt is transferred or assumed, the transactions would be executed in the ordinary course of the FHLBNY’s business and at negotiated market pricing.

Debt assumptions — No debt was assumed from another FHLBank in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and in the same period in the prior year.

Debt transfers — No debt was transferred to another FHLBank in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and in the same period in the prior year.

Advances Sold or Transferred

No advances were transferred or sold to the FHLBNY or from the FHLBNY to another FHLBank in any periods in this report. When an advance is transferred or assumed, the transactions would be executed in the ordinary course of the FHLBNY’s business and at negotiated market pricing.

MPF Program

In the MPF program, the FHLBNY may participate to the FHLBank of Chicago portions of its purchases of mortgage loans from its members.  Transactions are participated at market rates.  Since 2004, the FHLBNY has not shared its purchases with the FHLBank of Chicago.  From the inception of the program through 2004, the cumulative share of MPF Chicago’s participation in the FHLBNY’s MPF loans that has remained outstanding was $10.5 million and $11.5 million at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Fees paid to the FHLBank of Chicago for providing MPF program services were approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $0.6 million for the same period in the prior year.

Mortgage-backed Securities

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

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

Intermediation

From time to time, the FHLBNY acts as an intermediary to purchase derivatives to accommodate its smaller members.  At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, outstanding notional amounts were $205.0 million and $193.0 million and represented derivative contracts in which the FHLBNY acted as an intermediary to execute derivative contracts with members.  Separately, the contracts were offset with contracts purchased from unrelated derivatives dealers.  Net fair value exposures of these transactions at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 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, 2018 and 2017, overnight loans extended to other FHLBanks averaged $2.2 million and $5.7 million.  Generally, loans made to other FHLBanks are uncollateralized.  Interest income from such loans was immaterial in the periods in this report.

Borrowings from Other Federal Home Loan Banks

The FHLBNY borrows from other FHLBanks, generally for a period of one day.  There were no borrowings from other FHLBanks in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

Cash and Due from Banks

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and at December 31, 2017, compensating cash balances were held at Citibank, a member and stockholder of the FHLBNY.  For more information, see Note 3. Cash and Due from Banks.

Note 21.Segment Information and Concentration.

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

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

The top ten advance holders at March 31, 2018, December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017 and associated interest income for the periods then ended are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

Executive Overview

This overview of management’s discussion and analysis highlights selected information and may not contain all of the information that is important to readers of this Form 10-Q.  For a more complete understanding of events, trends and uncertainties, as well as the liquidity, capital, credit and market risks, and critical accounting estimates, affecting the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY” or “Bank”), this Form 10-Q should be read in its entirety and in conjunction with the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 22, 2018.

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

Business segment.  We manage our operations as a single business segment.  Advances to members are our primary focus and the principal factor that impacts our operating results.

2018 Highlights — 2018 First Quarter Compared to 2017 First Quarter

Net Income — For the FHLBNY, Net income is Net interest income, minus allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans, plus Other income/(loss), less Other Expenses and Assessments set aside for the FHLBNY’s Affordable Housing Program.

In the first quarter of 2018, Net income was $126.2 million, an increase of $56.6 million, or 81.4%, compared to the same period in the prior year.  Summarized below are the primary components of our Net income:

Net interest income — Net interest income (“NII”) is typically driven by the volume of earning assets, as measured by average balances of earning assets, net interest spread earned in the period, and by prepayment fees earned when advances are early terminated by our member/borrowers.  In the first quarter of 2018, Net interest income was $193.0 million, an increase of $19.6 million, or 11.3%, from the same period in the prior year.

Several factors contributed to the favorable increase in our Net interest income.  Although period-end balance sheet was lower at March 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017, average balance sheet in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the same quarter in 2017 increased by $18.3 billion, $162.9 billion in average earning assets in the 2018 period, compared to $144.6 billion in the 2017 period.  Advance volume of business was also up quarter-over-quarter, averaging $117.8 billion in the 2018 period, compared to $106.5 billion in the 2017 period.  Market yields improved quarter-over-quarter for investments in federal funds and overnight repos, providing positive net margin while allowing us to maintain higher liquidity for our members.  Rising U.S. Treasury yields and a larger liquidity trading portfolio also contributed to the increase in net interest income.  LIBOR-indexed advances and investments are significant earning assets, and earnings have grown in line with the rising LIBOR.   Relative to LIBOR, the price/yield environment for the issuance of shorter-term floating-rate CO bonds continued to be favorable in the first quarter of 2018, a direct benefit to net interest margin when the debt was utilized as a funding vehicle for LIBOR-indexed assets, primarily variable-rate ARC advances and floating-rate mortgage-backed securities.  The rising LIBOR also contributed to favorable quarter-over-quarter change in swap interest cash flows exchanged with swap dealers on swaps that qualified under ASC 815 hedging rules.  The FHLBNY typically converts a significant percentage of its fixed-rate advances and fixed-rate CO bonds to LIBOR in an ASC 815 hedge.

Net interest spread was 41 basis points in the first quarter of 2018, compared to 44 basis points in the same period in the prior year.  Net interest margin, a measure of margin efficiency, calculated as Net interest income divided by average earning assets, was 48 basis points in 2018 first quarter, compared to 49 basis points in the 2017 period. The three basis points decline in interest spread was due to higher balances of overnight investments and liquidity portfolio assets in the first quarter of 2018 that earned lower interest spreads.

61

In the 2018 period, net interest accruals in aggregate on interest rate swaps designated under ASC 815 and the amortization effects of basis adjustments, taken together were a net benefit to Net interest income (interest margin) of $3.3 million, in contrast to a charge of $53.7 million in the 2017 period.

Other Income (Loss) — In the first quarter of 2018, Other Income/(loss) reported a loss of $18.6 million, compared to a loss of $65.8 million in the same period in the prior year.  In the prior year same quarter, the Lehman settlement charge of $70.0 million was recorded in Other Income/(Loss). For more information about the Lehman settlement, see Table 1.10 Other income (Loss).

·Service fees and other are primarily correspondent banking fees and fee revenues from financial letters of credit.  Such revenues were $3.7 million in the first quarter of the current year, compared to $3.3 million in the same period in the prior year.

·Financial instruments carried at fair values reported a net valuation loss of $53 thousand in the first quarter of the current year, compared to a net gain of $1.7 million in the same period in the prior year.  The FVO portfolios were in a run-off mode and the income impact was immaterial.  For more information, see financial statements, Fair Value Option Disclosures in Note 18.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments.  Also see, Table 1.10 Other Income (Loss) and accompanying discussions in this MD&A.

·Derivative and hedging activities reported a net loss of $18.8 million in the first quarter of the current year, compared to a net loss of $0.7 million in the same period in the prior year.  The current period loss was primarily unrealized, and was associated with “basis swaps” in standalone economic hedges of floating-rate CO bonds that converted 1-month Libor rates to 3-month Libor rates, a strategy that provides economic benefit in managing our balance sheet.  As standalone swaps, they are accounted for as economic hedges and are marked-to-market, while the economically hedged bonds are not marked-to-market.  For more information, see financial statements, Earnings Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities disclosures in Note 17.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.  Also see Table 1.12 Earnings Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Other Expenses were $34.5 million in the first quarter of the current year, compared to $30.6 million in the same period in the prior year.  Other Expenses are primarily Operating expenses, Compensation and benefits, and our share of operating expenses of the Office of Finance and the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

·Operating expenses were $10.0 million in the first quarter of the current year, up from $8.5 million in the same period in the prior year.  Expense increases were primarily due to the incremental cost of new long-term lease agreements, which were executed in the second half of 2017.

·Compensation and benefits expenses were $18.8 million in the first quarter of the current year, a little higher than $17.4 million in the same period in the prior year.

·The expenses allocated for our share of the costs to operate the Office of Finance and the Federal Housing Finance Agency were $4.3 million in the first quarter of the current year, compared to $3.8 million in the same period in the prior year.

AHP assessments allocated from net income were $14.1 million in the first quarter of the current year, compared to $7.8 million in the same period in the prior year.  Assessments are calculated as a percentage of Net income, and changes in allocations were in parallel with changes in Net income.

Dividend payments — A quarterly cash dividend of $1.64 per share of capital (6.50% annualized) was paid in the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $1.42 per share of capital stock (5.65% annualized) paid in the same period in 2017.

62

Financial Condition — March 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017

Total assets decreased to $151.9 billion at March 31, 2018 from $158.9 billion at December 31, 2017, a decrease of $7.0 billion, or 4.4%.

Advances — Par balances decreased at March 31, 2018 to $112.7 billion, compared to $122.7 billion at December 31, 2017.  Short-term fixed-rate advances decreased by 14.2% to $20.4 billion at March 31, 2018, down from $23.8 billion at December 31, 2017.  ARC advances, which are adjustable-rate borrowings, decreased by 17.4% to $30.6 billion at March 31, 2018, compared to $37.1 billion at December 31, 2017.

Long-term investment debt securities — Long-term investment debt securities are designated as available-for-sale (“AFS”) or held-to-maturity (“HTM”).  The heavy concentration of GSE-issued securities, and a declining balance of private-label MBS, less than 2%, is our investment profile.

The AFS portfolio at March 31, 2018 of long-term floating-rate GSE-issued mortgage-backed securities were carried on the balance sheet at fair values of $504.4 million, compared to $528.6 million at December 31, 2017.  The HTM portfolio of GSE-issued long-term fixed- and floating-rate mortgage-backed securities was $17.0 billion at March 31, 2018 and $16.7 billion at December 31, 2017, and were carried at amortized cost.  We acquired $293.8 million of fixed-rate GSE-issued MBS and $784.9 million of floating-rate GSE-issued MBS in the first quarter of 2018.  Less than 2% of the HTM portfolio of MBS were investments in private-label issued MBS and the portfolio continues to decline in line with contractual pay downs. The PLMBS portfolio is carried at amortized cost adjusted for OTTI.

Housing finance agency bonds, primarily floating-rate bonds issued by agencies in New York and New Jersey, are designated as HTM and were carried at an amortized cost basis of $1.1 billion at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.  No acquisitions were made in the first quarter of 2018.

Trading securities (Securities liquidity portfolio) — The trading portfolio’s objective is to meet our short-term contingency liquidity needs.  We invest in highly liquid U.S. Treasury bills, U.S. Treasury notes and GSE issued securities.  Trading investments are carried at fair value, with changes recorded through earnings.  At March 31, 2018, trading investments were $239.9 million in U.S. Treasury bills, $1.4 billion in U.S. Treasury notes, $585.6 million in GSE securities and $3.6 million in Ambac corporate notes.  We acquired $370.0 million of U.S. Treasury notes and $231.7 million of GSE-securities in the first quarter of 2018.  The Ambac corporate notes were received from the Ambac Corporation as consideration for insurance claims on certain Ambac-insured mortgage-backed securities.  At December 31, 2017, trading investments were $239.1 million in U.S. Treasury bills, $1.0 billion in U.S. Treasury notes and $356.9 million in GSE securities.  We will periodically evaluate our liquidity needs and may dispose these liquidity investments as deemed prudent based on liquidity and market conditions.  The Finance Agency prohibits speculative trading practices but allows permitted securities to be deemed held for liquidity if invested in a trading portfolio.

Equity Investments — We own grantor trusts that invest in highly-liquid registered mutual funds, which were reclassified as of January 1, 2018 to Equity Investments upon adoption of ASU 2016-01.  These investments were carried on the balance sheet at fair values of $48.9 million at March 31, 2018.  At December 31, 2017, the funds were classified as AFS and carried at fair values of $48.6 million.

Mortgage loans held-for-portfolio — Mortgage loans were investments in Mortgage Partnership Finance loans (“MPF” or “MPF Program”).  Unpaid principal balance of MPF loans stood at $2.8 billion at March 31, 2018, relatively unchanged from $2.9 billion from the balance at December 31, 2017.  Loans are primarily fixed-rate, single-family mortgages acquired through the MPF Program.  Pay downs in the three months of 2018 were $65.2 million, compared to $68.4 million in the prior year same period.  Acquisitions in the three months of 2018 were $49.2 million, compared to $110.0 million in the prior year same period.  Credit performance has been strong and delinquency low.  Loan origination by members and acceptable pricing are key factors that drive acquisitions.  Residential collateral values have remained stable in the New York and New Jersey sectors, the primary geographic concentration for our MPF portfolio, and historical loss experience remains very low.

63

Capital ratios — Our capital position remains strong.  At March 31, 2018, actual risk-based capital was $7.9 billion, compared to required risk-based capital of $862.2 million.  To support $151.9 billion of total assets at March 31, 2018, the minimum required total capital was $6.1 billion or 4.0% of assets.  Our actual regulatory risk-based capital was $7.9 billion, exceeding required total capital by $1.8 billion.  These ratios have remained consistently above the required regulatory ratios through all periods in this report.  For more information, see financial statements, Note 14.  Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings.

Liquidity and Debt

Our liquidity position remains strong, and in compliance with all regulatory requirements, and we do not foresee any changes to that position.

Cash at banks was $86.6 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $127.4 million at December 31, 2017.

Money market investments at March 31, 2018 were $11.3 billion in federal funds sold and $4.1 billion in overnight resale agreements.  At December 31, 2017, money market investments were $10.3 billion in federal funds sold and $2.7 billion in overnight resale agreements.  Market yields for overnight and term money market investments have improved, creating opportunities for earning a positive margin, and at the same time fulfilling our liquidity targets.

We held $2.2 billion of highly-liquid U.S. Treasury and GSE-issued securities at March 31, 2018 in our trading portfolio, the objective of which is to enhance our liquidity needs.  In addition, we held $504.4 million of high credit quality GSE-issued available-for-sale securities that are investment quality, and readily marketable.

During the periods in this report, we maintained continual and reliable access to Consolidated obligation funding and adapted our debt issuance to meet the liquidity needs of our members and our asset/liability risk management objectives.

Our liquidity measures, Deposit liquidity and Operational liquidity, and other liquidity buffers remain in excess of required reserves.  For more information about our liquidity measures, please see section Liquidity, Cash Flows, Short-Term Borrowings and Short-Term Debt in this MD&A.

Business Outlook

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

Earnings — Our earnings performance is the result of many factors, among them: the state of the economy; conditions in the capital markets; level and shape of the yield curve; ability of members to source deposits and make loans; and impact of regulations on members’ business.  Changes to these and other factors could have significant effects, positive or negative, on the Bank’s financial results.  Based on our assumptions for these and other factors, we currently project 2018 Net income to be higher than earned in 2017, benefitting primarily from better than expected funding environment and higher investments.

Advances — We expect a stable book of advance business through 2018, although at levels a little lower than at December 31, 2017.  The pace of balance sheet growth in 2017 was concentrated along short-term borrowing.  Borrowing activities of a few large members have been the predominant driver of our book of advance business.  We cannot predict if short-term advances will be rolled over, or if advances borrowed by our larger members will be rolled over at maturity or prepaid prior to maturity.  At March 31, 2018, three members’ advance borrowings exceeded 10.0% of total advances outstanding — Citibank, N.A. 27.5%  (35.1% at December 31, 2017), Metropolitan Life Insurance Company 12.8%  (11.8% at December 31, 2017), and New York Community Bank/New York Commercial Bank 11.1% (9.9% at December 31, 2017).

64

We expect continued demand for variable-rate advances and short-term fixed-rate advances.  We expect limited demand for large, intermediate and long-term advances because many members have adequate liquidity.  Member banks are also likely to develop liquidity strategies to address regulatory liquidity frameworks, and those strategies may lead certain member banks to prepay advances ahead of their maturities.  Because of the complex interactions among a number of factors driving large banking institutions to address regulatory liquidity guidance, we are unable to predict future trends particularly with respect to borrowings by our larger members.  When advances are prepaid, we receive prepayment penalty fees to make us economically whole, and the FHLBNY’s earnings may not be adversely impacted in the periods when prepayments occur, but may impact revenue streams in future periods.

Demand for FHLBank debt — Relative to LIBOR, favorable funding conditions have continued through the first quarter of 2018. The LIBOR index is a widely applied benchmark by the FHLBNY. We expect similar favorable funding condition to exist through 2018, specifically for short and intermediate-term Consolidated obligation floating-rate bonds and discount notes, although we may experience some volatility in funding conditions during the year, especially leading up to and around Federal Open Market Committee meeting dates.  Our primary source of funds is the sale of Consolidated obligations in the capital markets.  Our ability to obtain funds through the issuance of Consolidated obligations depends in part on prevailing conditions in the capital markets, which are beyond our control.  If we cannot access funding when needed on acceptable terms, our ability to support and continue operations could be adversely affected, which could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.  The pricing of our longer-term debt remains at levels that are still unfavorable.  To the extent we receive sub-optimal funding, our member institutions in turn may experience higher costs for advance borrowings.  To the extent the FHLBanks may not be able to issue long-term debt at economical spreads to the 3-month LIBOR, borrowing choices may also be less economical for our members, potentially affecting their demand for advances.

The cost of FHLBank debt is a key driver of profitability, and we expect to be able to issue CO bonds and discount notes at reasonable spreads to yields earned from advances and investments.  Consolidated obligation discount notes and floating-rate notes have been in demand by investors, and pricing and yields have been attractive, specifically relative to LIBOR.  Our business plans and funding strategies are predicated on the expectation that investor demand will continue.

Rating — The U.S. Government’s credit is rated by Moody’s as Aaa with the outlook as stable, and AA+ and stable by Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”).  Consolidated obligations of FHLBanks are rated Aaa/P-1 by Moody’s, and AA+/A-1+ by S& P.  Any rating actions on the US Government would likely result in all individual FHLBanks’ long-term deposit ratings and the FHLBank System long-term bond rating moving in lock step with any US sovereign rating action.

Net Income

Interest income from advances is the principal source of revenue.  Other sources of revenue are interest income from investment debt securities, mortgage loans in the MPF portfolio, securities purchased under agreements to resell and federal funds sold.  The primary expense is interest paid on Consolidated obligation debt.  Other expenses are Compensation and benefits, Operating expenses, our share of operating expenses of the Office of Finance and the FHFA, and affordable housing program assessments on Net income.  Other significant factors affecting our Net income include the volume and timing of investments in mortgage-backed securities, prepayments of advances, charges due to debt repurchased, gains and losses from derivatives and hedging activities, and earnings from investing our shareholders’ capital.

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

2018 First Quarter Compared to 2017 First Quarter

Net Income — For the FHLBNY, Net income is Net interest income, minus credit losses on mortgage loans, plus Other income/(loss), less Other Expenses and Assessments set aside for the FHLBNY’s Affordable Housing Program.

In the first quarter of 2018, Net income was $126.2 million, an increase of $56.6 million, or 81.4%, compared to the same period in the prior year.  Summarized below are the primary components of our Net income:

Net interest income — Net interest income (“NII”) is typically driven by the volume of earning assets, as measured by average balances of earning assets, and the net interest spread earned in the period, and prepayment fees earned when advances are early terminated by our member/borrowers could also be a significant factor.

In the first quarter of 2018, Net interest income was $193.0 million, an increase of $19.6 million, or 11.3%, from the same period in the prior year. 

68

Net interest income benefited from higher average earning assets, which grew to $162.9 billion in the first quarter of 2018, up from $144.6 billion in the same period in the prior year.  Average advance balances were $117.8 billion in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $106.5 billion in the same period in the prior year.  In the first quarter of 2018, LIBOR-indexed assets, primarily ARC advances and floating-rate investments in mortgage-backed securities, benefited from the rising LIBOR.  Overnight and short-term investments in the federal funds and the overnight repurchase agreements benefited from rising yields for money market investments.  While funding costs were also higher in line with the rising rate environment, cost of funding, relative to LIBOR, continued to benefit from favorable investor demand for Consolidated obligation shorter-term and floating-rate bonds.

Net interest spread was 41 basis points in the first quarter of 2018, compared to 44 basis points in the same period in the prior year. The three basis points decline in interest spread was due to higher balances of overnight investments and liquidity portfolio assets in the first quarter of 2018 that earned lower interest spreads.

Other Income (Loss) — In the first quarter of 2018, Other Income/(loss) reported a loss of $18.6 million, compared to a loss of $65.8 million in the same period in the prior year.  The Lehman settlement charge of $70.0 million was recorded in Other Income/(Loss) in the first quarter of the prior year period. For more information about the Lehman settlement, see Table 1.10 Other income (Loss).

·Service fees and other are primarily correspondent banking fees and fee revenues from financial letters of credit.  Such revenues were $3.7 million in the first quarter of the current year, compared to $3.3 million in the same period in the prior year.

·Financial instruments carried at fair values reported a net valuation loss of $53 thousand in the first quarter of the current year, compared to a net gain of $1.7 million in the same period in the prior year.  For more information, see financial statements, Fair Value Option Disclosures in Note 18.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments.  Also see, Table 1.10 Other Income (Loss) and accompanying discussions in this MD&A.

·Derivative and hedging activities reported a net loss of $18.8 million in the first quarter of the current year, compared to a net loss of $0.7 million in the same period in the prior year.  For more information, see financial statements, Earnings Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities disclosures in Note 17.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.  Also see Table 1.12 Earnings Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities and accompanying discussions in this MD&A.

Other Expenses were $34.5 million in the first quarter of the current year, compared to $30.6 million in the same period in the prior year.  Other Expenses are primarily Operating expenses, Compensation and benefits, and our share of operating expenses of the Office of Finance and the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

·Operating expenses were $10.0 million in the first quarter of the current year, up from $8.5 million in the same period in the prior year.  Expense increases were primarily due to new long-term lease agreements, which were executed in the second half of 2017.

·Compensation and benefits expenses were $18.8 million in the first quarter of the current year, up from $17.4 million in the same period in the prior year.

·The expenses allocated for our share of the costs to operate the Office of Finance and the Federal Housing Finance Agency were $4.3 million in the first quarter of the current year, compared to $3.8 million in the same period in the prior year.

AHP assessments allocated from net income were $14.1 million in the first quarter of the current year, compared to $7.8 million in the same period in the prior year.  Assessments are calculated as a percentage of Net income, and changes in allocations were in parallel with changes in Net income.

Net Interest Income, Margin and Interest Rate Spreads — 2018 First Quarter Compared to 2017 First Quarter

Net interest income is our principal source of Net income.  It represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities.

Period-over-period changes in Net interest income are typically driven by changes in the volume of earning assets, as measured by average balances of earning assets, and the impact of market interest rates on earnings assets and funding costs.  Interest income and expense accruals on interest rate swaps that qualified under ASC 815, the hedge

69

accounting rules may impact period-over-period changes.  Shareholders’ capital stock and retained earnings are also factors that impact net interest income as they provide interest free funding.   In a period when members prepay advances, the prepayment fees, which we receive may cause period-over-period fluctuations in income.  For more information about factors that impact Interest income and Interest expense, see Table 1.3 and discussions thereto.  Also, see Table 1.4 Spread and Yield Analysis, and Table 1.5 Rate and Volume Analysis.

2018 First Quarter vs 2017 First Quarter.

(a)2018 First quarter Net interest income was $193.0 million, compared to $173.4 million in the 2017 period.

Several factors contributed to the favorable increase in our Net interest income.  Although period-end balance sheet and advance balances were lower at March 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017, average business volume in the first quarter of 2018 increased quarter-over-quarter by $18.3 billion, $162.9 billion in average earning assets in the 2018 period, compared to $144.6 billion in the 2017 period.  Advance volume of business was up quarter-over-quarter, averaging $117.8 billion in the 2018 period, compared to $106.5 billion in the 2017 period.  Market yields improved quarter-over-quarter for investments in federal funds and overnight repos, providing positive net margin while allowing us to maintain higher liquidity for our members.  Rising U.S. Treasury yields and a larger liquidity trading portfolio also contributed to the increase in net interest income.  LIBOR-indexed advances and investments are significant earning assets, and earnings have grown in line with the rising LIBOR.   The price/yield environment for the issuance of shorter-term floating-rate CO bonds continued to be favorable in the first quarter of 2018, a direct benefit to net interest margin when the debt was utilized as a funding vehicle for LIBOR-indexed assets, primarily variable-rate ARC advances and floating-rate mortgage-backed securities.  The rising LIBOR also contributed to favorable quarter-over-quarter change in swap interest cash flows exchanged with swap dealers on swaps that qualified under ASC 815 hedging rules.  The FHLBNY typically converts a significant percentage of its fixed-rate advances and fixed-rate CO bonds to LIBOR in an ASC 815 hedge.  The impact of a rising LIBOR environment has primarily been to narrow the differential between our fixed payments to derivative counterparties and the LIBOR-indexed cash received in exchange in the ASC 815 hedging of fixed-rate advances.  In the 2018 period, net interest accruals in aggregate on interest rate swaps designated under ASC 815 and the amortization effects of basis adjustments, taken together were a net benefit to Net interest income (interest margin) of $3.3 million, in contrast to a charge of $53.7 million in the 2017 period.

Net interest spread, which is the yield from earning assets minus interest paid to fund earning assets, was 41 basis points in the 2018 first quarter, compared to 44 basis points in the 2017 period. Net interest margin, a measure of margin efficiency, calculated as Net interest income divided by average earning assets, was 48 basis points in 2018 first quarter, compared to 49 basis points in the 2017 period.  The three basis points decline in interest spread was due to higher balances of overnight investments and liquidity portfolio assets in the first quarter of 2018 that earned lower interest spreads.

(b)Net interest income from investing member capital.

We earn interest income from investing our members’ capital to fund interest-earning assets.  Such earnings are sensitive to the changes in short-term interest rates (Rate effects), and changes in the average outstanding capital and non-interest-bearing liabilities (Volume effects).  Typically, we invest capital and net non-interest costing liabilities to fund short-term investment assets that yield money market rates.  Members’ capital is capital stock, which increases or decreases in parallel with the volume of advances borrowed by members, and retained earnings.  Although period-end capital stock balance was lower, in parallel with decline in advances at period-end, average capital stock was higher in the first quarter of 2018, $8.1 billion in the 2018 period, compared to $7.6 billion in the 2017 period; the increase in average capital was generally in line with the increase in average advances borrowed by members.  In the periods in this report, market yields for investments in the federal funds and repo markets have improved and the contribution to interest margin from member capital has also improved.

(a)Reported yields with respect to advances and Consolidated obligations may not necessarily equal the coupons on the instruments as derivatives are extensively used to change the yield and optionality characteristics of the underlying hedged items.  When we issue fixed-rate debt that is hedged with an interest rate swap, the hedge effectively converts the debt into a simple floating-rate bond.  Similarly, we make fixed-rate advances to members and hedge the advances with a pay-fixed and receive-variable interest rate swap that effectively converts the fixed-rate asset to one that floats with prevailing LIBOR rates.  Average balance sheet information is presented, as it is more representative of activity throughout the periods presented.  For most components of the average balances, a daily weighted average balance is calculated for the period.  When daily weighted average balance information is not available, a simple monthly average balance is calculated.  Average yields are derived by dividing income by the average balances of the related assets, and average costs are derived by dividing expenses by the average balances of the related liabilities.  Yields and spreads are annualized.

Interest Income — 2018 First Quarter Compared to 2017 First Quarter

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

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

Impact of hedging on Interest income from advances — 2018 First Quarter Compared to 2017 First Quarter

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

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

Net interest adjustment from interest rate swaps (a)	11,011		(56,150		)
Total Advance interest income reported	$	546,460	$	316,771

(a)In a Fair value hedge under ASC 815, certain fixed-rate advances are hedged by the execution of interest rate swaps that have created synthetic floaters.  A fair value hedge of an advance is accomplished by the execution of an interest rate swap in which we pay fixed-rate cash flows and receive LIBOR-indexed variable rate cash flows.  The difference between the two cash exchanges determines the net interest adjustments under ASC 815.  Historically, the fixed-rate paid to swap dealers on swaps hedging longer-term advances have been greater than the LIBOR indexed cash flows we receive from swap dealers, resulting in a net interest expense, a charge that reduces interest income from hedged advances, nonetheless assuring the hedging objectives.  That differential, between fixed-rate payments and variable-rate income, has narrowed. The higher LIBOR cash flows we have received in the periods in this report have narrowed the unfavorable expense adjustments.  The cash flows exchanged resulted in $11.0 million as a benefit to advance income in the 2018 period, compared to a net charge of $56.2 million in the 2017 period.

Interest Expense — 2018 First Quarter Compared to 2017 First Quarter

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

Changes in rate and intermediation volume (average interest-costing liabilities), the mix of debt issuances between CO bonds and CO discount notes, and the impact of hedging strategies explain the changes in interest expense.  Reported Interest expense is net of the impact of hedge strategies.  The primary hedging strategy is the Fair value hedge that creates LIBOR-indexed funding.  We also use the Cash Flow hedge strategy that creates long-term fixed-rate funding to lock in future net interest margin.  In a Fair value hedge strategy of a bond or discount note, we generally pay variable-rate LIBOR-indexed cash flows to swap counterparties.  In exchange, we receive fixed-rate cash flows, which typically mirror the fixed-rate coupon payments to investors holding the FHLBank debt.  This exchange effectively converts fixed-rate coupons to floating-rate coupons indexed to the 3-month LIBOR.  The primary cash flow hedge strategy is designed to eliminate the variability of cash flows attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate (3-month LIBOR), hedging long-term issuances of consolidated obligation discount notes and create long-term fixed-rate funding.

Certain floating-rate CO bonds were designated in economic hedges, primarily basis hedges that converted a contractual variable index to a preferred funding variable index, typically the 3-month LIBOR. Interest rate swaps designated in an economic hedge are not recorded under a qualifying ASC 815 hedge.  Interest accrual is not recorded as an adjustment to debt interest expense, but reported together with the change in fair value of the swap in Other income as part of the impact of derivative and hedging activities in the Statements of income.

NM — Not meaningful.

(a)Interest expense in the first quarter of 2018 was $577.6 million, at a costing yield of 151 basis points, compared to $285.9 million at a costing yield of 85 basis points in the same period in the prior year.

(b)Consolidated Obligation debt funding costs: While interest expense on debt (CO bonds and CO discount Notes) has increased in a rising rate environment, investor demand for FHLBank debt has favorably impacted yields and pricing of CO discount notes and shorter maturity floating-rate CO bonds.  As a result, aggregate funding costs have been lower than otherwise achievable.  We have shifted our funding mix to a greater utilization of floating-rate bonds to fund our growing book of variable-rate, LIBOR-indexed assets.  The tactical funding shift to the use of floating-rate bonds, which continued to be at relatively attractive pricing, has been a significant contributor to the favorable cost of funding in the 2018 period.

Generally, the longer-term fixed-rate CO bonds and bonds with call options are hedged under ASC 815, i.e. cash flows are swapped from fixed-rate to LIBOR-indexed variable-rate cash flows.  Historically, swapping fixed-rate short- and medium-term CO bonds to a floating-rate LIBOR indexed cash flows has benefited interest expense by synthetically converting the fixed-rate expense to a sub-LIBOR level.

Impact of Hedging on Interest Expense on Debt — 2018 First Quarter Compared to 2017 First Quarter

Derivative strategies are primarily used to manage the interest rate risk inherent in fixed-rate debt by converting the fixed-rate funding to floating-rate debt that is indexed to 3-month LIBOR, our preferred funding base.  The strategies are designed to protect future interest margins.  A significant percentage of non-callable fixed-rate debt is swapped to plain vanilla 3-month LIBOR indexed cash flows.  We also issue fixed-rate callable debt that is typically issued with the simultaneous execution of cancellable interest rate swaps to modify the effective interest rate terms and the effective durations of our fixed-rate callable debt.  The cash flow objectives are accomplished by utilizing a Fair value hedging strategy, benefiting us in two principal ways.  First, the issuances of fixed-rate debt and the simultaneous execution of interest rate swaps convert the debt to an adjustable-rate instrument tied to the 3-month LIBOR.  Second, fixed-rate callable bonds issued in conjunction with the execution of interest rate swaps containing a call feature (that mirrors the option embedded in the callable bond), enables us to meet our funding needs at yields not otherwise directly attainable through the issuance of callable debt.  We may also issue floating rate debt indexed to other than the 3-month LIBOR (Prime, federal funds rate and 1-month LIBOR).  Typically, we would then execute interest rate swaps that would convert the cash flows to the 3-month LIBOR, and designate the hedge as an economic hedge.

We have also created synthetic long-term fixed rate funding to fund long-term investments, utilizing a Cash Flow hedging strategy that converted forecasted long-term discount note variable-rate funding to fixed-rate funding by the use of long-term swaps.  For such discount notes, the recorded interest expense is equivalent to long-term fixed rate coupons.  Cash Flow hedging strategies are also discussed under the heading Impact of Cash flow hedging on earnings and AOCI in this MD&A.

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

Table 1.9:Impact of Interest Rate Swaps on Consolidated Obligations Interest Expense

Bonds and discount notes-Interest expense
Bonds-Interest expense before adjustment for swaps	$	363,911		$	217,066

Net interest adjustment for interest rate swaps (a)	9,104			(1,373		)
Total bonds and discount notes-Interest expense	$	573,554		$	283,657

(a)Fair value hedges under ASC 815 were executed to hedge certain fixed-rate CO bonds.  The hedges employed interest rate swaps, which created synthetic floating-rate cash flows.  Cash flow hedges under ASC 815 were executed to hedge future issuances of designated CO discount notes.  The cash flow hedges employed long-term interest rate swaps, which created synthetic fixed-rate cash flows.  The cash flows exchanged in the two hedging strategies resulted in net unfavorable interest expense accruals of $7.8 million in the 2018 period, in contrast to a net favorable accrual (reduction of interest expense) of $2.4 million in the 2017 period.

A fair value hedge of Consolidated obligation bonds is accomplished by the execution of interest rate swaps in which we receive fixed-rate cash flows, and pay LIBOR-indexed variable cash flows.  The cash flows exchanged between the receive-leg and pay-leg of the cash determines the net interest adjustments.  Historically, in a fair value hedge, the fixed-rate cash flows received from swap dealers on swaps hedging CO bonds have been greater than the LIBOR indexed cash flows we pay to swap dealers, resulting in a net sub-LIBOR favorable hedging benefit on interest expense on hedged debt.  However, in a rising rate environment for LIBOR, that favorable differential associated with swap cash flows has been narrowing.

A cash flow hedge of CO discount notes is accomplished by the execution of interest rate swaps in which we pay fixed-rate cash flows and receive LIBOR-indexed variable rate cash flows.  The pay fixed-rate cash flows are typically based on long-term swap rates, which have remained significantly higher than the 3-month LIBOR that we receive in exchange.  Although the cash flow exchanged in the hedge results in a net expense, it achieves our hedging objective of a stable and predictable long-term funding expense.

Allowance for Credit Losses — 2018 First Quarter Compared to 2017 First Quarter

·Mortgage loans held-for-portfolio — Credit quality continues to be strong, delinquencies low, and allowance for credit losses have remained insignificant.

We recorded a net reversal of $0.4 million in the 2018 period, compared to a net reversal of $0.3 million in the 2017 period.

We evaluate impaired conventional mortgage loans on an individual (loan-by-loan) basis, and compare the fair values of collateral (net of liquidation costs) to recorded investment values in order to calculate/measure credit losses on impaired loans.  Loans are considered impaired when they are seriously delinquent (typically 90 days or more) or in bankruptcy or foreclosure, and loan loss allowances are computed at that point.  When a loan is seriously delinquent, we believe it is probable that we will be unable to collect all contractual interest and principal in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.  We also perform a loss migration analysis to collectively measure impairment of loans that have not already been individually evaluated for impairment.  FHA/VA (Insured mortgage loans) guaranteed loans are also evaluated collectively for impairment based on the credit worthiness of the PFI.

The low amounts of reserves for credit losses are consistent with our historical experience with foreclosures or losses.  Additionally, collateral values of impaired loans have continued to remain steady and have improved in the New York and New Jersey sectors, and the low loan loss reserves were reflective of the

77

stability in home prices in our residential loan markets.  For more information, see financial statements Note 10. Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio.

·Advances — Based on the collateral held as security and prior repayment history, no allowance for losses was currently deemed necessary.  Our credit risk from advances was concentrated in commercial banks, savings institutions and insurance companies.  All advances were fully collateralized during their entire term.  In addition, borrowing members pledged their stock in the FHLBNY as additional collateral for advances.

Analysis of Non-Interest Income (Loss) — 2018 First Quarter Compared to 2017 First Quarter

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

Table 1.10:Other Income (Loss)

	Three months ended March 31,
	2018			2017
Other income (loss):
Service fees and other (a)	$	3,721		$	3,252
Instruments held at fair value - Unrealized gains (losses) (b)	(53		)	1,719
Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities (c)	(18,800		)	(702		)

Provision for litigation settlement on derivative contracts (d)	—			(70,000		)
Total other income (loss)	$	(18,593	)	$	(65,783	)

(a)Service fees and other — Service fees are derived primarily from providing correspondent banking services to members and fees earned on standby financial letters of credit issued by the FHLBNY on behalf of members.  Fee income earned on financial letters of credit are typically the largest component of Service fees, and were $3.5 million and $3.0 million in the first quarter of the current year and the same period in the prior year. Letters of credit are primarily issued on behalf of members to units of state and local governments to collateralize their deposits at member banks.

(b)The impact of changes in fair values on advances and debt elected under the FVO has declined in line with the decline in new elections to replace run offs.

(c)Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities — Hedging activities reported a net loss of $18.8 million in the first quarter of the current year, compared to a net loss of $0.7 million in the same period in the prior year.  The current period loss was primarily an unrealized fair value loss associated with “basis swaps” in standalone economic hedges of floating-rate CO bonds that converted 1-month Libor rates to 3-month Libor rates, a strategy that provides economic benefit in managing our balance sheet.   As standalone swaps, they are accounted for as economic hedges and are marked-to-market, while the economically hedged bonds are not marked-to-market.  In the current year quarter, spread between the 1-month LIBOR, and the 3-month LIBOR widened unfavorably and adversely impacted fair values and cash flows.  See Table 1.12 for more information.

(d)Litigation settlement — In the first quarter of 2017, we took a charge of $70.0 million and settled the long-standing dispute with Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. (“Lehman”) in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding.

Earnings Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities — 2018 First Quarter Compared to 2017 First Quarter

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

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

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

Generally for the FHLBNY, derivative and hedging gains and losses are primarily from two sources.  Hedge ineffectiveness from hedges that qualify under hedge accounting rules (fair value effects of derivatives, net of the fair value effects of hedged items), and fair value changes of standalone derivatives in an economic hedge (fair value changes of derivatives without the offsetting fair value changes of the hedged items).  Typically, the largest source of gains or losses from derivative and hedging activities arise from derivatives designated as standalone derivatives.  For the FHLBNY, standalone derivatives have typically comprised of swaps in economic hedges of debt elected under the FVO, interest rate caps in economic hedges of capped floating-rate MBS, and basis swaps hedging floating-rate debt indexed to other than the 3-month LIBOR.  For both categories, derivatives that are standalone, and derivatives and hedged items that qualify under hedge accounting rules, fair value gains and losses are unrealized and sum to zero if held to maturity.  Interest accruals on standalone derivatives are considered as hedging gains or losses on standalone hedges, and realized at the periodic accrual settlement dates.

Impact of Cash flow hedging on earnings and AOCI and Derivative gains and losses reclassified from AOCI to income.

The following table summarizes changes in derivative gains and (losses), including reclassifications into earnings from AOCI in the Statements of Condition (in thousands):

Table 1.13:Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) to Current Period Income from Cash Flow Hedges

	Three months ended March 31,
	2018			2017
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) from cash flow hedges
Beginning of period	$	(19,877	)	$	(47,018	)
Net hedging transactions (a)	54,738			10,086
Reclassified into earnings	35			309
End of period (b)	$	34,896		$	(36,623	)

(a)Net hedging transactions represented changes in valuations recorded through AOCI.  Valuation changes were a net gain of $54.7 million in the 2018 period, compared to a net gain of $10.1 million in the 2017 period.

Valuation changes recorded in AOCI were associated with the two cash flow programs described below, but primarily represented changes in fair values of swaps in the discount note cash flow hedging program.  In this program, valuation changes are typically determined by changes in long-term swap rates, and generally, valuation gains will be recorded in line with the steepening of long-term swap rates, and valuations will decline in line with decline in long-term swap rates.

(b)End of period balances represent fair value gains (effective portion) of contracts that were open at period end.  Ineffectiveness, if any associated with the open contracts was deminimis and were recorded through earnings.  For more information, see table: Cash Flow hedges — Fair Value changes in AOCI Rollforward Analysis in financial statements Note 17.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

The two Cash Flow hedging strategies were:

Hedges of anticipated issuances of Consolidated obligation bonds — From time to time, we execute interest rate swaps on the anticipated issuance of debt to “lock-in” a spread between the earning asset that is expected to settle in a future period and the cost of funding.  The swaps are structured to pay fixed-rate, receive LIBOR indexed cash flows.  Open swap contracts are valued at the end of each reporting period and fair values are recorded in the balance sheet as a derivative asset or a liability, with an offset to AOCI.  The effective portion of changes in the fair values of the swaps is recorded in AOCI.  Ineffectiveness, if any, is recorded through earnings.  In this program, the swap is typically terminated upon issuance of the debt instrument.  The termination fair value is recorded in AOCI and reclassified to earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows of the debt that was issued.  The maximum period of time that we typically hedge our exposure to the variability in future cash flows (for forecasted transactions to issue Consolidated obligation bonds) is between three and six months.

Hedges of discount note issuances — In the “rollover” cash flow hedge strategy, fair values of derivatives are recorded as a derivative asset or a liability in the balance sheet, and the effective portion is recorded as an offset to AOCI.  The ineffective portion is recorded in earnings.  The objective of this cash flow strategy is to hedge the long-term issuances of Consolidated obligation discount notes, to eliminate the variability of cash flows attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate (3-month LIBOR), and to create predictable long-term fixed-rate funding.

For more information about cash flow strategies, see financial statements, Note 17.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

(a)Operating expenses included the administrative and overhead costs of operating the FHLBNY, as well as the operating costs of providing advances and managing collateral associated with the advances, managing the investment portfolios, and providing correspondent banking services to members.  Occupancy expense has increased in line with new long-term lease agreements executed in 2017 for our two locations.

(b)The category “All others” included temporary workers, computer service agreements, contractual services, professional and legal fees, audit fees, director fees and expenses, insurance and telecommunications.  Expense increases were associated with computer service agreements and the cost of implementing technology improvements.

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

(d)The category Other expenses included the non-service elements of Net periodic benefit costs of non-qualified pension plans.

Balance Sheet overview March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017

Total assets decreased to $151.9 billion at March 31, 2018 from $158.9 billion at December 31, 2017, a decrease of $7.0 billion, or 4.4%.

Cash at banks was $86.6 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $127.4 million at December 31, 2017.

Money market investments at March 31, 2018 were $11.3 billion in federal funds sold and $4.1 billion in overnight resale agreements.  At December 31, 2017, money market investments were $10.3 billion in federal funds sold and

83

$2.7 billion in overnight resale agreements.  Market yields for overnight and term money market investments have improved, creating opportunities for earning a positive margin, and at the same time fulfilling our liquidity targets.

Advances — Par balances decreased at March 31, 2018 to $112.7 billion, compared to $122.7 billion at December 31, 2017.  Short-term fixed-rate advances decreased by 14.2% to $20.4 billion at March 31, 2018, down from $23.8 billion at December 31, 2017.  ARC advances, which are adjustable-rate borrowings, decreased by 17.4% to $30.6 billion at March 31, 2018, compared to $37.1 billion at December 31, 2017.

Long-term investment debt securities — Long-term investment debt securities are designated as available-for-sale (“AFS”) or held-to-maturity (“HTM”).  The heavy concentration of GSE and Agency issued (“GSE-issued”) securities, and a declining balance of private-label MBS, less than 2%, is our investment profile.

In the AFS portfolio, long-term investments at March 31, 2018 were floating-rate GSE-issued mortgage-backed securities carried on the balance sheet at fair values of $504.4 million, compared to $528.6 million at December 31, 2017.

In the HTM portfolio, long-term investments at March 31, 2018 were predominantly GSE-issued fixed- and floating-rate mortgage-backed securities and housing finance agency bonds.  Securities in the HTM portfolio are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for any OTTI.  Fixed- and floating-rate mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), including PLMBS, in the HTM portfolio, were $17.0 billion at March 31, 2018 and $16.7 billion at December 31, 2017.  Investments in PLMBS were less than 2% of the HTM portfolio. We acquired $293.8 million of fixed-rate GSE-issued MBS and $784.9 million of floating-rate GSE-issued MBS in the first quarter of 2018.

In the HTM portfolio, housing finance agency bonds, primarily New York and New Jersey, were carried at an amortized cost basis of $1.1 billion at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.  No acquisitions were made in the first quarter of 2018.  In the same period in 2017, we acquired $61.5 million in housing finance bonds.

Trading securities (liquidity portfolio) — The objective of the trading portfolio is to meet short-term contingency liquidity needs.  We invested in highly liquid U.S. Treasury bills, U.S. Treasury notes and GSE-issued securities.  Trading investments are carried at fair value, with changes recorded through earnings.  At March 31, 2018, trading investments were $239.9 million in U.S. Treasury bills, $1.4 billion in U.S. Treasury notes, $585.6 million in GSE securities, and $3.6 million in Ambac corporate notes.  We acquired $370.0 million of U.S. Treasury notes, and $231.7 million in GSE securities in the first quarter of 2018.  Ambac corporate notes par $3.4 million were received from the Ambac Corporation as consideration for insurance claims on certain PLMBS.  At December 31, 2017, trading investments were $239.1 million in U.S. Treasury bills, $1.0 billion in U.S. Treasury notes and $356.9 million in GSE securities.

We will periodically evaluate our liquidity needs and may dispose these liquidity investments as deemed prudent based on liquidity and market conditions.  The Finance Agency prohibits speculative trading practices but allows permitted securities to be deemed held for liquidity if invested in a trading portfolio.

Equity Investments — We own grantor trusts that invest in highly-liquid registered mutual funds, which were reclassified as of January 1, 2018 from AFS to Equity Investments.  These investments were carried on the balance sheet at fair values of $48.9 million at March 31, 2018.  At December 31, 2017, the funds were classified as AFS and carried at fair values of $48.6 million.

Mortgage loans held-for-portfolio — Mortgage loans were investments in Mortgage Partnership Finance loans (“MPF” or “MPF Program”).  Unpaid principal balance of MPF loans stood at $2.8 billion at March 31, 2018, a little lower than $2.9 billion at December 31, 2017.  Loans are primarily fixed-rate, single-family mortgages acquired through the MPF Program.  Pay downs in the three months of 2018 were $65.2 million, compared to $68.4 million in the prior year same period.  Acquisitions in the three months of 2018 were $49.2 million, compared to $110.0 million in the prior year same period.  Credit performance has been strong and delinquency low.  Loan origination by members and acceptable pricing are key factors that drive acquisitions.  Residential collateral values have remained stable in the New York and New Jersey sectors, the primary geographic concentration for our MPF portfolio, and historical loss experience remains very low.

Stress test results — Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the FHFA, regulator of the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks), has adopted supervisory stress tests for the FHLBanks.  The FHFA requires the annual stress testing for the FHLBanks based on the FHFA’s scenarios, summary instructions and guidance.  The tests are designed to determine whether the FHLBanks have the capital to absorb losses as a result of adverse economic conditions.  The FHFA rules require that the FHLBanks consider the results of the annual stress test into account in making any changes, as appropriate, to its capital structure (including the level and composition of capital); its exposure, concentration, and risk positions; any plans for recovery and resolution; and to improve overall risk management.  Consultation with FHFA supervisory staff is expected in making such improvements.  In accordance with these rules, the FHLBNY executed its third annual stress test, and publicly disclosed the stress test results on November 16, 2017 on our website (www.fhlbny.com).

The stress test results in all scenarios, including the scenario run under the FHFA’s severely adverse economic scenario, demonstrated capital adequacy.

Capital ratios — Our capital position remains strong.  At March 31, 2018, actual risk-based capital was $7.9 billion, compared to required risk-based capital of $862.2 million.  To support $151.9 billion of total assets at March 31, 2018, the minimum required total capital was $6.1 billion or 4.0% of assets.  Our actual regulatory risk-based capital was $7.9 billion, exceeding required total capital by $1.8 billion.  These ratios have remained consistently above the required regulatory ratios through all periods in this report.  For more information, see financial statements, Note 14.  Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings.

Leverage — At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 balance sheet leverage (based on U.S. GAAP) was 19.3 times shareholders’ equity.  Balance sheet leverage has generally remained steady over the last several years, although from time to time we have maintained excess liquidity in highly liquid investments, or cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”) to meet unexpected member demand for funds.  Increases or decreases in investments have a direct impact on leverage, but generally growth in or shrinkage of advances does not significantly impact balance sheet leverage under existing capital stock management practices.  Members are required to purchase activity-based capital stock to support their borrowings from us, and when activity-based capital stock is in excess of the amount that is required to support advance borrowings, we redeem the excess capital stock immediately.  Therefore, stockholders’ capital increases and decreases with members’ advance borrowings, and the capital to asset ratio remains relatively unchanged.

Liquidity and Debt — In addition to the trading portfolio maintained for liquidity, liquid assets at March 31, 2018 included $85.0 million as demand cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”), $15.4 billion in short-term and overnight loans in the federal funds and the repo markets, and $504.4 million of high credit quality GSE-issued available-for-sale securities that are investment quality, and readily marketable.  In December 2016, we established a trading portfolio with the primary objective of increasing our liquidity.  The trading portfolio is invested in highly-liquid U.S. Treasury bonds and GSE-issued securities.  Our liquidity position remains strong, and in compliance with all regulatory requirements, and we do not foresee any changes to that position.

The primary source of our funds is the issuance of Consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes to the public.  Our GSE status enables the FHLBanks to raise funds at rates that are typically at a small to moderate spread above U.S. Treasury security yields.  Our ability to access the capital markets, which has a direct impact on our cost of funds, is dependent to a degree on our credit ratings from the major ratings organizations.  The FHLBank debt performance has withstood the impact of the controversy surrounding the debt ceiling in the recent past.  However, we cannot say with certainty the long-term impact of such actions on our liquidity position, which could be adversely affected by many causes both internal and external to our business.

During the periods in this report, we maintained continual access to funding and adapted our debt issuance to meet the liquidity needs of our members and our asset/liability risk management objectives.  Our short-term funding was largely driven by member demand for short-term advances and was achieved through the issuance of Consolidated discount notes and short-term Consolidated bonds.  Access to short-term debt markets has been reliable.  Investor demand has been strong, partly due to the money market fund reform and partly due to investors’ preference for liquidity.  Investors have sought the FHLBank’s short-term debt as an asset of choice, and that has led to advantageous funding opportunities and increased utilization of shorter-term debt.

85

There are inherent risks in utilizing short-term funding and we may be exposed to refinancing and investor concentration risks or market access risk.  Market access risk includes the risk that we would be unable to issue Consolidated obligations in the event of disruptions in the capital markets.  Refinancing risk includes the risk that we could have difficulty rolling over short-term obligations when market conditions become unfavorable for debt issuance.

We measure and monitor interest rate-risk with commonly used methods, which include the calculations of market value of equity, duration of equity, and duration gap.

Among other liquidity measures, the Finance Agency requires FHLBanks to maintain sufficient liquidity through short-term investments in an amount at least equal to our anticipated cash outflows under two different scenarios.  The first scenario assumes that we cannot access capital markets for 15 days, and during that period members do not renew their maturing, or prepay or exercise their option to call advances that are callable.  The second scenario assumes that we cannot access the capital markets for five days, and during that period, members renew maturing advances.  We remain in compliance with regulations under both scenarios.

We also hold contingency liquidity in an amount sufficient to meet our liquidity needs if we are unable to access the Consolidated obligation debt market for at least 5 days.  The actual contingency liquidity under the 5-day scenario in the current year quarter was $33.5 billion, well in excess of the required $4.0 billion.

We also have other liquidity measures in place, deposit liquidity and operational liquidity, and those liquidity buffers remain in excess of required reserves.  For more information about our liquidity measures, please see section Liquidity, Cash Flows, Short-Term Borrowings and Short-Term Debt in this MD&A.

Advances

Our primary business is making collateralized loans to members, referred to as advances.  Generally, the growth or decline in advances is reflective of demand by members for both short-term liquidity and term funding.  This demand is driven by economic factors such as availability of alternative funding sources that are more attractive, or by the interest rate environment and the outlook for the economy.  Members may choose to prepay advances (which may generate prepayment penalty fees) based on their expectations of interest rate changes and demand for liquidity.

Advance volume is also influenced by merger activity, where members are either acquired by non-members or acquired by members of another FHLBank.  When our members are acquired by members of another FHLBank or by non-members, these former members no longer qualify for membership and we may not offer renewals or additional advances to the former members.  If maturing advances are not replaced, it will have an impact on business volume.  Period-end advance balances were lower at March 31, 2018, compared to December 31, 2017, primarily due to run-offs of adjustable-rate advances (“ARC”) near the quarter-end.  On a quarter-over-quarter basis, volume of advance business, as measured by average balances, was higher in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the 2017 period.

Member demand for advance products

Par amount of advances outstanding was $112.7 billion at March 31, 2018, compared to $122.7 billion at December 31, 2017.

Carrying value of advances outstanding at March 31, 2018 was $112.2 billion, compared to $122.4 billion at December 31, 2017.  Carrying values included unrealized net fair value hedging basis adjustments recorded on hedges eligible under ASC 815, and basis adjustments recorded on advances elected under the fair value option (“FVO”).  For advances hedged under the ASC 815 qualifying hedging rules, the basis adjustment was a fair value loss of $538.2 million at March 31, 2018 and a fair value loss of $265.3 million at December 31, 2017.  For advances elected under the fair value option (“FVO”), the basis adjustments were valuation gains of $1.6 million at March 31, 2018 and $5.6 million at December 31, 2017.  For more information about basis adjustments, see Table 4.4 Advances by Maturity and Yield Type in this MD&A.

(a)Fixed-rate borrowings remained the largest category of advances borrowed by members.  The presentation above includes long-term and short-term fixed-rate advances.  Long-term advances remain a small segment of the portfolio at March 31, 2018, with only 4.3% of advances in the remaining maturity bucket of greater than 5 years (2.5% at December 31, 2017).  For more information, see financial statements Note 9. Advances.

(b)ARC advances are typically indexed to LIBOR.  The FHLBNY’s larger members are generally borrowers of variable-rate advances.

(c)Category represents ARCs with options that “cap” increase or “floor” decrease in the LIBOR index at predetermined strikes (We have also purchased cap/floor options that mirror the terms of the options embedded in the advances sold to members, offsetting our exposure on the advance).

Fair value basis and valuation adjustments — Key determinants of valuation adjustments are factors such as advance run offs and new transactions designated in hedging relationships or elected under the FVO, the forward swap curve, the volatility of the swap rates, the remaining duration to maturity, and for advances elected under the FVO, the changes in the spread between the swap rate and the Consolidated

88

obligation debt yields.  For FVO advances change in interest receivable is also a factor as it is a component of the entire fair value of FVO advances.

(a)Hedging valuation basis adjustments — The reported carrying values of hedged advances are adjusted for changes in their fair values (fair value basis adjustments or fair value) that are attributable to the risk being hedged, which is LIBOR for the FHLBNY, and is the discounting basis for computing changes in fair values for hedged advances.  The notional amount of advances hedged under ASC 815 was $49.7 billion at March 31, 2018 and $53.6 billion at December 31, 2017. The application of this accounting methodology resulted in the recognition of a net unrealized hedge valuation basis losses at the two dates.  The LIBOR curve, which is the valuation basis for hedged advances under ASC 815, has continued to rise for short maturities and for the longer-term sectors (through 8 years) that make up the majority of our outstanding hedged advances.  Valuations of fixed-rate LIBOR benchmark hedge advances move inversely with the LIBOR curve, and the net cumulative basis losses were consistent with the upward-sloping LIBOR yield curve at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Generally, hedge valuation basis gains and losses are unrealized and will reverse to zero if the advance is held to maturity or is put or called on the early option exercise dates.

For more information, see Table 1.12: Earnings Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities — By Financial Instrument Type.

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

Valuation adjustments and interest accrued receivable taken together reported net basis gains at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.  Advances elected under the FVO are typically variable rate LIBOR indexed advances, which re-priced frequently to market indices or fixed-rate with short remaining durations.  As a result, valuation basis remained near to par.  The notional amount of the FVO advance portfolio declined to $0.8 billion at March 31, 2018, compared to $2.2 billion at December 31, 2017.  Run-offs of advances elected under the FVO were not replaced by new transactions.

We have elected the FVO on an instrument-by-instrument basis.  With respect to credit risk, we have concluded that it was not necessary to estimate changes attributable to instrument-specific credit risk, as we consider our advances to remain fully collateralized through to maturity.  For more information, see financial statements, Fair Value Option Disclosures in Note 18 Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

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

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

Table 4.5:Hedged Advances by Type

Par Amount	March 31, 2018			December 31, 2017
Qualifying Hedges
Fixed-rate bullets (a)	$	47,469,218		$	52,983,896
Fixed-rate putable (b)	2,189,000			567,000

Fair value basis (Qualifying hedging adjustments)	$	(538,163	)	$	(265,260	)

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

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

(c)Represents par values of advances in ASC 815 qualifying hedge relationships.  Typically, the longer term fixed-rate advances and advances with optionality are hedged.

Advances elected under the FVO — Advances elected under the FVO at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were shorter-term adjustable-rate (“ARCs”).  By electing the FVO for an asset instrument (the advance), the objective is to offset some of the volatility in earnings due to the designation of debt (liability) under the FVO.  Changes in the fair values of the advance were recorded through earnings, and the offset was recorded as a fair value basis adjustment to the carrying values of the advances.

The following table summarizes par amounts of advances elected under the FVO (in thousands):

Investments

We maintain long-term investment portfolios, which are principally mortgage-backed securities issued by GSEs and U.S. Agency (“GSE-issued”).  Investments include a small portfolio of MBS issued by private enterprises, and bonds issued by state or local housing finance agencies.  We also maintain short-term investments for our liquidity resources, for funding daily stock repurchases and redemptions, for ensuring the availability of funds to meet the credit needs of our members, and to provide additional earnings.  In December 2016, management approved a trading portfolio, the purpose of which is to augment our liquidity needs.  Investments in the trading portfolio were U.S Treasury securities and GSE-issued securities, all carried at their fair values.  The Finance Agency prohibits speculative investments, but allows the designation of a trading portfolio for liquidity purposes.  We may dispose such investments if liquidity needs are met and market conditions deem the sale as advantageous.

We are subject to credit risk on our investments, generally transacted with GSEs and large financial institutions that are considered to be of investment quality.  The Finance Agency defines investment quality as a security with adequate financial backing so that full and timely payment of principal and interest on such security is expected and there is minimal risk that the timely payment of principal and interest would not occur because of adverse changes in economic and financial conditions during the projected life of the security.  For more information about investment policies, restrictions and practices, see the most recent Form 10-K filed on March 22, 2018.

(a)State and local housing finance agency bonds were designated as HTM and were carried at amortized cost.  There were no acquisitions for the three months of 2018.

(b)U.S. Treasury securities, GSE securities and corporate notes.  Trading portfolio is for liquidity and not for speculative purposes.  We acquired par amounts of $370.0 million of U.S. Treasury notes and $231.7 million of GSE securities in the first quarter of 2018.  We received par amounts of $3.4 million of Ambac corporate notes from the insurer Ambac Corporation as consideration for insurance claims on certain insured private-label MBS.

(c)Mortgage-backed securities classified as AFS.  No acquisitions were designated as AFS in the three months of 2018.  AFS securities outstanding are all GSE and U.S. Agency issued floating-rate MBS carried at fair value.  Mortgage-backed securities classified as HTM — $1.1 billion of GSE-issued MBS were acquired in 2018 and designated as HTM.  MBS in the HTM portfolio are predominantly GSE-issued, and less than 2% are PLMBS.

(d)Funds in the grantor trusts were designated as Equity Investments at January 1, 2018.  Prior to January 1, 2018, the funds were classified as AFS.  In the first quarter of 2018, we invested $0.8 million in cash, and payouts to retirees were $0.5 million.  Trust fund balances represent investments in registered mutual funds and other fixed-income and equity funds.  Funds are highly liquid and readily redeemable at their NAVs, which are the fair values of the investments.  The funds are owned by the FHLBNY, and the intent is to utilize investments to fund current and potential future payment obligations of the non-qualified Benefits Equalization Pension plans.  For more information about the pension plan, see financial statements, Note 15.

Footnotes to Table 5.3 and Table 5.4.

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

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

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

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

To compute fair values at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, multiple vendor prices were received for substantially all of our MBS holdings, and substantially all of those prices fell within specified thresholds.  The relative proximity of the prices received from the multiple vendors supported our conclusion that the final computed prices were reasonable estimates of fair values.  GSE securities priced under such a valuation technique using the market approach are typically classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

For a comparison of carrying values and fair values of investment debt securities, see financial statements, Note 5. Trading securities, Note 7. Available-for-Sale Securities and Note 8. Held-to-Maturity Securities.  For more information about the corroboration and other analytical procedures performed, see Note 18. Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

Weighted average rates — Mortgage-backed securities (HTM and AFS)

The following table summarizes weighted average rates and amortized cost by contractual maturities.  A significant portion of the MBS portfolio consisted of floating-rate securities and the weighted average rates will change in parallel with changes in the LIBOR rate (dollars in thousands):

OTTI — Base Case and Adverse Case Scenario

We evaluated our PLMBS under a base case (or best estimate) scenario by performing a cash flow analysis for each security under assumptions that forecasted increased credit default rates or loss severities, or both.  The stress test scenario and associated results do not represent our current expectations and therefore should not be construed as a prediction of future results, market conditions or the actual performance of these securities.  No OTTI was recorded in the first quarter 2018 and 2017.

Short-term investments

We typically maintain substantial investments in high quality short- and intermediate-term financial instruments such as secured overnight transactions collateralized by securities, and unsecured overnight and term federal funds sold to highly-rated financial institutions who also satisfy other credit quality factors.  These investments provide the liquidity necessary to meet members’ credit needs.  Short-term investments also provide a flexible means of implementing the asset/liability management decisions to adjust liquidity.  In December 2016, a trading portfolio was established with the objective of expanding our choice of investing for liquidity.

Monitoring — We actively monitor our credit exposures and the credit quality of our counterparties, including an assessment of each counterparty’s financial performance, capital adequacy, and sovereign support as well as related market signals, and actively limit or suspend existing exposures, as appropriate.  In addition, we are required to manage our unsecured portfolio subject to regulatory limits, prescribed by the Finance Agency, our regulator.  The Finance Agency regulations include limits on the amount of unsecured credit that may be extended to a counterparty or a group of affiliated counterparties, based upon a percentage of eligible regulatory capital and the counterparty’s overall credit rating.  Under these regulations, the level of eligible regulatory capital is determined as the lesser of our regulatory capital or the eligible amount of regulatory capital of the counterparty determined in accordance with Finance Agency regulations.

The Finance Agency regulations also permit us to extend additional unsecured credit, which could be comprised of overnight extensions and sales of federal funds subject to continuing contract.  Our total unsecured overnight exposure to a single counterparty may not exceed twice the regulatory limit for term exposures.  We are prohibited by Finance Agency regulation from investing in financial instruments issued by non-U.S. entities other than those issued by U.S. branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks, and we did not own any financial instruments issued by foreign sovereign governments, including those countries that are members of the European Union in any periods in this report.  For more information about our policies and practices, see the most recent Form 10-K filed on March 22, 2018.

94

Securities purchased under agreements to resell — As part of our banking activities with counterparties, we have entered into secured financing transactions that mature overnight, and can be extended only at our discretion.  These transactions involve the lending of cash against securities, which are accepted as collateral.  The balance outstanding under such agreements was $4.1 billion at March 31, 2018 and $2.7 billion at December 31, 2017.  For more information, see financial statements, Note 4.  Federal Funds Sold, and Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell.

Federal funds sold — Federal funds sold was $11.3 billion at March 31, 2018 and $10.3 billion at December 31, 2017, representing unsecured lending to major banks and financial institutions.  We are a major lender in this market, particularly in the overnight market.  The amount of unsecured credit risk that may be extended to individual counterparties is commensurate with the counterparty’s credit quality as assessed by our management, and the assessment would include reviews of credit ratings of counterparty’s debt securities or deposits as reported by NRSROs.  Overnight and short-term federal funds allow us to warehouse funds and provide balance sheet liquidity to meet unexpected member borrowing demands.

The following table summarizes par value, amortized cost and the carrying value (fair value) of the trading portfolio (in thousands):

The Finance Agency prohibits speculative investments but allows permitted securities to be deemed held for liquidity if invested in a trading portfolio.  We may dispose such investments if liquidity needs are met and market conditions deem the sale as advantageous.  For more information about fair values of securities in the trading portfolio, see Note 5. Trading Securities in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio

Mortgage loans are carried in the Statements of Condition at amortized cost, less allowance for credit losses.  The outstanding unpaid principal balance was $2.8 billion at March 31, 2018, a decrease of $16.3 million (net of acquisitions and paydowns) from the balance at December 31, 2017.  Mortgage loans were investments in Mortgage Partnership Finance loans (“MPF” or “MPF Program”). 

Mortgage Partnership Finance Program

We invest in mortgage loans through the MPF Program, which is a secondary mortgage market structure under which eligible mortgage loans are purchased or funded from or through members who are Participating Financial Institutions (“PFI”).  We may also acquire MPF loans through participations with other FHLBanks, although our current acquisition strategy is to limit acquisitions through our PFIs.  MPF loans are conforming conventional and Government i.e., insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) or the Rural Housing Service of the Department of Agriculture (“RHS”), fixed-rate mortgage loans secured primarily by single-family residential properties with maturities ranging from five to 30 years or participations in such mortgage loans.  The FHLBank of Chicago (“MPF Provider”) developed the MPF Program in order to help fulfill the housing mission and to provide an additional source of liquidity to FHLBank

95

members that choose to sell mortgage loans into the secondary market rather than holding them in their own portfolios.  Finance Agency regulations define the acquisition of Acquired Member Assets (“AMA”) as a core mission activity of the FHLBanks.  In order for MPF loans to meet the AMA requirements, the purchase and funding are structured so that the credit risk associated with MPF loans is shared with PFIs.  For more information about the MPF program, see Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio in the MD&A in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 22, 2018.

We provide this product to members as another alternative for them to sell their mortgage production.  Loan origination by members and acceptable pricing are key factors that drive growth.  MPF loans are fixed-rate mortgage loans secured primarily by single-family residential properties with maturities ranging from five to 30 years.

Mortgage loans — Conventional and Insured Loans

Total par MPF loans	$	2,834,038	$	2,850,372

Mortgage Loans — Loss Sharing and the Credit Enhancement Waterfall

For all loans acquired prior to June 1, 2017, the credit enhancement was computed as the amount that would bring an uninsured loan to “Double A” credit risk.  For loans acquired after June 1, 2017, the credit enhancement is computed to a “Single A” credit risk.  In the credit enhancement waterfall, we are responsible for the first loss layer.  The second loss layer is the credit obligation of the PFI.  We assume all residual risk.  Also, see financial statements, Note 10.  Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio.

Loan and PFI Concentration — Loan concentration was in New York State, which is to be expected since the largest PFIs are located in New York.  The tables below summarize concentrations — Geographic and PFI:

Debt Financing Activity and Consolidated Obligations

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

Consolidated obligation bonds — The carrying value of Consolidated obligation bonds (“CO bonds” or “Consolidated obligation bonds”) was $85.7 billion (par, $85.3 billion) at March 31, 2018, compared to $99.3 billion (par, $98.9 billion) at December 31, 2017.  On average, CO bonds funded 58.8% and 59.7% of earning assets in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and in the same period in the prior year.

A significant percentage of CO bonds was designated under an ASC 815 fair value accounting hedge.  Also, certain CO bonds were hedged by interest rate swaps in economic hedges.  We may also hedge the anticipatory issuance of fixed-rate CO bonds in a cash  flow hedge under ASC 815.  Certain CO bonds were elected under the FVO. Carrying values of CO bonds included valuation basis adjustments on bonds hedged under ASC 815, and on CO bonds elected under the FVO.  For more information about valuation basis adjustments, see Table 7.1.

Consolidated obligation discount notes — The carrying value of Consolidated obligation discount notes outstanding was $56.5 billion at March 31, 2018 and $49.6 billion at December 31, 2017.  On average, discount

97

notes funded 35.5% of earning assets in the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 33.9% in the same period in the prior year.  No discount notes had been hedged under an ASC 815 fair value accounting hedge at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, although from time to time we have designated the instruments in economic hedges during the periods in this report.  Certain discount notes were hedged under an ASC 815 cash flow accounting hedge, and are discussed in financial statements, Note 17. Derivatives and Hedging Activities.  Certain discount notes were elected under the FVO.  Carrying values included valuation basis adjustments on discount notes elected under the FVO.  For more information about valuation basis adjustments, see Table 7.7 Discount Notes Outstanding.

A FHLBank’s ability to access the capital markets to issue debt, as well as our cost of funds, is dependent on credit ratings from Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations.  Consolidated obligations of FHLBanks are rated Aaa/P-1 by Moody’s, and AA+/A-1+ by S& P.  Any rating actions on the US Government would likely result in all individual FHLBanks’ long-term deposit ratings and the FHLBank System long-term bond rating moving in lock step with any US sovereign rating action.

The issuance and servicing of Consolidated obligation debt is performed by the Office of Finance, a joint office of the FHLBanks established by the Finance Agency.  Each FHLBank independently determines its participation in each issuance of Consolidated obligations based on, among other factors, its own funding and operating requirements, maturities, interest rates and other terms available for Consolidated obligations in the market place.  The two major debt programs offered by the Office of Finance are the Global Debt Program and the TAP issue programs.  We participate in both programs.  For more information about these programs, see our most recent Form 10-K filed on March 22, 2018.

Joint and Several Liability

Although we are primarily liable for our portion of Consolidated obligations (i.e. those issued on our behalf), we are also jointly and severally liable with the other FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on the Consolidated obligations of all the FHLBanks.  For more information, see financial statements, Note 19.  Commitments and Contingencies.

Fair value basis and valuation adjustments — Key determinants are factors such as run offs and new transactions designated under an ASC 815 hedge or elected under the FVO, the forward swap curve, the volatility of the swap rates, the remaining duration to maturity, and for bonds elected under the FVO, the changes in the spread between the swap rate and the Consolidated obligation debt yields, and changes in interest payable, which is a component of the entire fair value of FVO bonds.

(a)Hedge valuation basis — The reported carrying values of hedged Consolidated bonds are adjusted for changes to their fair values (fair value basis adjustments or fair value) that are attributable to the risk being hedged, which is LIBOR for the FHLBNY, and is the discounting basis for computing changes in fair values basis for hedged debt.  The notional amount of CO bonds hedged under the fair value hedging standards under ASC 815 was $14.8 billion at March 31, 2018 and $15.8 billion at December 31, 2017.

The application of the accounting methodology resulted in the recognition of the net unrealized hedge valuation basis losses at the two balance sheet dates.  The basis losses were primarily driven by valuations of long-term vintage CO bonds, which had been issued at the then prevailing higher rate environment.  The quarter-over-quarter change in the valuation basis losses were in line with changes in the term structure of the swap curve.  All CO bonds hedged under ASC 815 are fixed-rate liabilities, and fixed-rate cash flows are discounted by the LIBOR benchmark curve.  Generally, hedge valuation basis are unrealized and will reverse to zero if hedged debt are held to their maturity or to their call dates.  Also, see Table 7.2 Bonds Hedged under Qualifying Fair Value Hedges.

(b)Valuation basis of terminated hedges — Represents unamortized cumulative valuation basis of certain CO bonds that were no longer in fair value hedge relationships.  When hedging relationships for the debt were de-designated, the net unrealized cumulative losses at the hedge termination dates were no longer adjusted for changes in the benchmark rate.  Instead, the valuation basis are being amortized on a level yield method, and the net amortization is recorded as a reduction of Interest expense.  If the CO bonds are held to maturity, the basis losses will be fully amortized as an interest expense.

(c)FVO valuation adjustments — Valuation basis adjustments and accrued interest payable are recorded to recognize changes in the entire fair value (the full fair value) of CO bonds elected under the FVO.  The notional amounts of CO bonds elected under the FVO were $0.1 billion at March 31, 2018 and $1.1 billion at December 31, 2017.  Run-offs of bonds elected under the FVO were not replaced by new transactions, explaining the decline in the valuation basis.

The discounting basis for computing the change in fair value basis of bonds elected under the FVO is the observable (FHLBank) CO bond yield curve.  All FVO bonds were short- and medium-term, and fluctuations in their valuations were not significant as the bonds re-priced relatively frequently to market indices, remaining near to par, although inter-period volatility is likely.

We have elected the FVO on an instrument-by-instrument basis.  For bonds elected under the FVO, it was not necessary to estimate changes attributable to instrument-specific credit risk, as we consider the credit worthiness of the FHLBanks to be secure and credit related adjustments unnecessary.  More information about debt elected under the FVO is provided in financial statements, Note 18.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments (See Fair Value Option Disclosures).

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

Table 7.2:Bonds Hedged under Qualifying Fair Value Hedges

Qualifying hedges — Generally, fixed-rate (bullet and callable) medium and long-term Consolidated obligation bonds are hedged in a Fair value ASC 815 qualifying hedge.  Decline in ASC 815 fair value hedges of fixed-rate debt reflect an asset-liability management decision to replace maturing fixed-rate CO bonds with floating-rate CO bonds, which are typically hedged on an economic basis.

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

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

Par Amount	March 31, 2018		December 31, 2017
Bonds designated under FVO	$	130,000	$	1,130,000

CO bonds elected under the FVO were generally in economic hedges by the execution of interest rate swaps that converted the fixed-rate bonds to a variable-rate instrument.  We elected to account for the bonds under the FVO when we were generally unable to assert with confidence that the short- and intermediate-term bonds, or callable bonds, with short lock-out periods to the exercise of call options, would remain effective hedges as required under hedge accounting rules.  Issuances of fixed-rate CO bonds have generally declined and run offs of CO bonds elected under the FVO were not replaced in an asset-liability management decision.  See financial statements, Fair Value Option Disclosures in Note 18.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

Table 7.4:Economic Hedged Bonds (Excludes CO bonds elected under the FVO and designated in an economic hedge)

Economically hedged bonds — We also issue variable rate debt with coupons that are not indexed to the 3-month LIBOR, our preferred funding base.  During the periods in this report, we issued variable-rate bonds indexed to the 1-month LIBOR.  To mitigate the economic risk of a change in the variable-rate basis between the 3-month LIBOR and the 1-month LIBOR, we have executed basis rate swaps that have synthetically created 3-month LIBOR debt.  The operational cost of designating the debt instruments in an ASC 815 qualifying hedge outweighed the accounting benefits of marking the debt and the swap to fair values.  We opted instead to designate the hedging basis swaps as standalone derivatives, and recorded changes in their fair values through earnings.  The carrying value of the debt would not include fair value basis since the debt is recorded at amortized cost.

	Consolidated Obligation Bonds
Par Amount	March 31, 2018		December 31, 2017
Bonds designated as economically hedged
Floating-rate bonds (a)	$	41,675,000	$	35,390,000
Fixed-rate bonds (b)	15,000		15,000
	$	41,690,000	$	35,405,000

(a)Floating-rate debt — Floating-rate bonds were typically indexed to 1-month LIBOR.  With the execution of basis hedges, the bonds are swapped in economic hedges to 3-month LIBOR, mitigating the basis risk of a 1-month LIBOR indexed CO bond.  We have made greater use of the 1-month LIBOR indexed floating rate CO bonds as pricing was relatively favorable, driving down the synthetic cost of funding utilizing interest rate swaps.

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

(a)Contrasting Consolidated obligation bonds by contractual maturity dates (see financial statements, Note 12. Consolidated Obligations  — Redemption Terms of Consolidated Obligation Bonds) with potential call dates (as reported in table above) illustrates the impact of hedging on the effective duration of the bond.  With a callable bond, we have purchased the option to terminate debt at agreed upon dates from investors.  Call options are exercisable either as a one-time option or as quarterly.  Our current practice is to exercise our option to call a bond when the swap counterparty exercises its option to call the cancellable swap hedging the callable bond.  Thus, issuance of a callable bond with an associated callable swap significantly alters the contractual maturity characteristics of the original bond and introduces the possibility of an exercise call date that is significantly shorter than the contractual maturity.

The following table summarizes callable bonds versus non-callable CO bonds outstanding (par amounts, in thousands):

Discount Notes

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

Table 7.7:Discount Notes Outstanding

	March 31, 2018			December 31, 2017
Par value	$	56,605,870		$	49,685,334

FVO (a) - valuation adjustments and remaining accretion	1,653			3,003
Total discount notes	$	56,509,976		$	49,613,671
Weighted average interest rate	1.59		%	1.23		%

(a)Valuation basis adjustment losses, including unaccreted discounts, were recorded to recognize changes in the entire or full fair values of CO discount notes elected under the FVO.  The full fair values included unaccreted discounts.  Notional amounts of instruments elected under the FVO were $1.6 billion at March 31, 2018 and $2.3 billion at December 31, 2017.  The discounting basis for computing changes in fair values of discount notes elected under the FVO is the observable FHLBank discount note yield curve.  Changes in fair value basis reflect changes in the term structure of interest rates, the shape of the yield curve at the measurement dates, and the growth or decline in volume.  If held to maturity, unaccreted discounts will be fully accreted to par, and unrealized fair value gains and losses will sum to zero over the term to maturity.

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

Table 7.8:Discount Notes under the Fair Value Option (FVO)

	Consolidated Obligation Discount Notes
Par Amount	March 31, 2018		December 31, 2017
Discount notes designated under FVO (a)	$	1,564,375	$	2,309,618

CO Discount notes elected under the FVO were generally in economic hedges by the execution of interest rate swaps that converted the fixed-rate notes to a variable-rate instrument.  We elected to account for the discount notes under the FVO when we were generally unable to assert with confidence that the discount notes would remain effective hedges as required under hedge accounting rules.  See financial statements, Fair Value Option Disclosures in Note 18.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

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

The following table summarizes Cash flow hedges of discount notes (in thousands):

Table 7.9:Cash Flow Hedges of Discount Notes

Discount notes hedged under qualifying hedge (a)	$	2,414,000	$	2,349,000

(a)Par amounts represent discounts notes issued in cash flow “rollover” hedge strategies that hedged the variability of 91-day discount notes issued in sequence typically for periods up to 14 years.  In this strategy, the discount note expense, which resets every 91 days, is synthetically converted to fixed cash flows over the hedge periods, thereby achieving hedge objectives.  For more information, see financial statements, Cash Flow Hedges in Note 17. Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Stockholders’ Capital

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

Table 8.1:Stockholders’ Capital

	March 31, 2018			December 31, 2017
Capital Stock (a)	$	6,311,396		$	6,750,005
Unrestricted retained earnings (b)	1,070,847			1,067,097
Restricted retained earnings (c)	504,430			479,185
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)	(3,971		)	(55,249		)
Total Capital	$	7,882,702		$	8,241,038

(a)Stockholders’ Capital — Capital stock decreased in line with the decrease in advances borrowed.  When an advance matures or is prepaid, the excess capital stock is repurchased by the FHLBNY.  When an advance is borrowed or a member joins the FHLBNY’s membership, the member is required to purchase capital stock.  For more information about activity and membership stock, see Note 13. Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings in the FHLBNY’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 22, 2018.

(b)Unrestricted retained earnings — Net Income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $126.2 million; $4.9 million of a cumulative adjustment from adoption of ASU 2016-01 at January 1, 2018 was added to Unrestricted retained earnings; $25.2 million was set aside towards Restricted retained earnings.  From the remaining amount, we paid $102.2 million to members as dividends in the three months ended March 31, 2018.  As a result, Unrestricted retained earnings increased by $3.7 million to $1.1 billion at March 31, 2018.

(c)Restricted retained earnings — Restricted retained earnings balance at March 31, 2018 has grown to $504.4 million from the third quarter of 2011 when the FHLBanks, including the FHLBNY agreed to set up a restricted retained earnings account.  The FHLBNY will allocate at least 20% of its net income to the FHLBNY’s Restricted retained earnings account until the balance of the account equals at least 1% of FHLBNY’s average balance of outstanding Consolidated Obligations for the previous quarter.

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

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

	March 31, 2018			December 31, 2017
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
Non-credit portion of OTTI on held-to-maturity securities, net of accretion (a)	$	(13,928	)	$	(14,803	)
Net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities (b)	5,129			10,178
Net unrealized losses on hedging activities (c)	34,896			(19,877		)
Employee supplemental retirement plans (d)	(30,068		)	(30,747		)
Total Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)	$	(3,971	)	$	(55,249	)

(a)OTTI — Non-credit OTTI losses in AOCI have declined at December 31, 2017, primarily due to accretion recorded as a reduction in AOCI (and a corresponding increase in the balance sheet carrying values of the OTTI securities), and no additional OTTI was recorded in the period.

(b)Fair values of available-for-sale securities — Balance represents net unrealized fair value basis of MBS securities; at December 31, 2017, the balance also included grantor trust funds, which had been designated as available-for-sale.

(c)Cash flow hedge valuation losses — Balances represented cumulative fair value basis on the two cash flow hedging strategies at the balance sheet dates.  Financial statements, Note 17.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities, includes a rollforward analysis, which provides more information with respect to changes in AOCI.

(d)Employee supplemental plans — Balances represent actuarially determined supplemental pension and postretirement health benefit liabilities that were not recognized through earnings.  Amounts are amortized as an expense through Compensation and benefits over an actuarially determined period.  For more information, see financial statements, Note 15.  Employee Retirement Plans in the FHLBNY’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 22, 2018.

103

Dividends — By Finance Agency regulation, dividends may be paid out of current earnings or if certain conditions are met, may be paid out of previously retained earnings.  We may be restricted from paying dividends if we do not comply with any of the Finance Agency’s minimum capital requirements or if payment would cause us to fail to meet any of the minimum capital requirements, including our Retained earnings target as established by the Board of Directors of the FHLBNY.  In addition, we may not pay dividends if any principal or interest due on any Consolidated obligations has not been paid in full, or if we fail to satisfy certain liquidity requirements under applicable Finance Agency regulations.  None of these restrictions applied for any period presented.

The following table summarizes dividends paid and payout ratios:

(a)In thousands.

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

(c)Does not include dividend paid to non-member; for accounting purposes, such dividends are recorded as interest expense.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Interest rate swaps, swaptions, cap and floor agreements (collectively, derivatives) enable us to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates by adjusting the effective maturity, repricing frequency, or option characteristics of financial instruments.  To a limited extent, we also use interest rate swaps to hedge changes in interest rates prior to debt issuance and essentially lock in funding costs. Finance Agency regulations prohibit the speculative use of derivatives.  For additional information about the methodologies adopted for the fair value measurement of derivatives, see financial statements, Note 18.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

Derivative Credit Risk Exposure and Concentration

In addition to market risk, we are subject to credit risk in derivative transactions because of the potential for non-performance by the counterparties, which could result in the FHLBNY having to acquire a replacement derivative from a different counterparty at a cost that may exceed its recorded fair values.  We are also subject to operational risks in the execution and servicing of derivative transactions.  The degree of counterparty credit risk may depend on, among other factors, the extent to which netting procedures and/or the provision of collateral are used to mitigate the risk.   For more information about our risk measurement and risk mitigation processes, see Note 16.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities in the most recent Form 10-K filed on March 22, 2018.

Liquidity, Short-Term Borrowings and Short-Term Debt

Our primary source of liquidity is the issuance of Consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes.  To refinance maturing Consolidated obligations, we rely on the willingness of our investors to purchase new issuances.  We have access to the discount note market, and the efficiency of issuing discount notes is an important source of liquidity, since discount notes can be issued any time and in a variety of amounts and maturities.  Member deposits and capital stock purchased by members are another source of funds.  Short-term unsecured borrowings from other FHLBanks and in the federal funds market provide additional sources of liquidity.  In addition, the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to purchase up to $4.0 billion of Consolidated obligations from the FHLBanks.  Our liquidity position remains in compliance with all regulatory requirements and management does not foresee any changes to that position.

Finance Agency Regulations — Liquidity

Regulatory requirements are specified in Parts 932, 1239 and 1270 of the Finance Agency regulations.  Each FHLBank shall at all times have at least an amount of liquidity equal to the current deposits received from its members that may be invested in: (1) Obligations of the United States; (2) Deposits in banks or trust companies; or (3) Advances with a remaining maturity not to exceed five years that are made to members in conformity with part 1266.

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

Liquidity Management

We actively manage our liquidity position to maintain stable, reliable, and cost-effective sources of funds while taking into account market conditions, member demand and the maturity profile of our assets and liabilities. We recognize that managing liquidity is critical to achieving our statutory mission of providing low-cost funding to our members.  In managing liquidity risk, we are required to maintain certain liquidity measures in accordance with the FHLBank Act and policies developed by management and approved by our Board of Directors.  The applicable liquidity requirements are described in the next four sections.

Deposit Liquidity. We are required to invest an aggregate amount at least equal to the amount of current deposits received from members in: (1) Obligations of the United States; (2) Deposits in banks or trust companies; or (3) Advances with a remaining maturity not to exceed five years that are made to members in conformity with part 1266.  In addition to accepting deposits from our members, we may accept deposits from other FHLBanks or from any other governmental instrumentality.  We met these requirements at all times.  Quarterly average reserves and actual reserves are summarized below (in millions):

Table 10.1:Deposit Liquidity

	Average Deposit		Average Actual
For the Quarters Ended	Reserve Required		Deposit Liquidity		Excess
March 31, 2018	$	1,115	$	114,922	$	113,807
December 31, 2017	1,654		108,241		106,587

106

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

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

Table 10.2:Operational Liquidity

	Average Balance Sheet		Average Actual
For the Quarters Ended	Liquidity Requirement		Operational Liquidity		Excess
March 31, 2018	$	7,941	$	38,370	$	30,429
December 31, 2017	9,705		33,398		23,693

Contingency Liquidity.  We are required by Finance Agency regulations to hold “contingency liquidity” in an amount sufficient to meet our liquidity needs if we are unable to access the Consolidated obligation debt markets for at least five business days.  Contingency liquidity includes (1) marketable assets with a maturity of one year or less; (2) self-liquidating assets with a maturity of one year or less; (3) assets that are generally acceptable as collateral in the repurchase market; and (4) irrevocable lines of credit from financial institutions receiving not less than the second-highest credit rating from a NRSRO.  We consistently exceeded the regulatory minimum requirements for contingency liquidity.  Contingency liquidity is measured daily.  We met these requirements at all times.

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

Table 10.3:Contingency Liquidity

	Average Five Day		Average Actual
For the Quarters Ended	Requirement		Contingency Liquidity		Excess
March 31, 2018	$	4,040	$	33,494	$	29,454
December 31, 2017	2,276		29,131		26,855

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

Advance “Roll-Off” and “Roll-Over” Liquidity Guidelines.  The Finance Agency’s Minimum Liquidity Requirement Guidelines expanded the existing liquidity requirements to include additional cash flow requirements under two scenarios:  Advance “Roll-Over” and “Roll-Off” scenarios.  Each FHLBank, including the FHLBNY, must have positive cash balances to be able to maintain positive cash flows for 15 days under the Roll-Off scenario, and for 5 days under the Roll-Over scenario.  The Roll-Off scenario assumes that advances maturing under their contractual terms would mature, and in that scenario we would maintain positive cash flows for a minimum of 15 days on a daily basis.  The Roll-Over scenario assumes that maturing advances borrowed by members with assets below $100 billion would be rolled over, and in that scenario we would maintain positive cash flows for a minimum of 5 days on a daily basis.  We calculate the amount of cash flows under each scenario on a daily basis and have been in compliance with these guidelines.

107

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

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

Short-term Borrowings and Short-term Debt

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

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

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

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

In addition, in the ordinary course of business, the FHLBNY engages in financial transactions that, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not recorded on the FHLBNY’s balance sheet or may be recorded on the FHLBNY’s balance sheet in amounts that are different from the full contract or notional amount of the transactions.  For example, the Bank routinely enters into commitments to purchase MPF loans from PFIs, and issues standby letters of credit.  These commitments may represent future cash requirements of the Bank, although the standby letters of credit usually expire without being drawn upon.  For more information about contractual obligations and commitments, see financial statements, Note 19. Commitments and Contingencies.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments

Significant regulatory actions and developments for the period covered by this report are summarized below.

Finance Agency Proposed Amendments to Affordable Housing Program (“AHP”) Regulations.  On March 14, 2018, the Finance Agency published a proposed rule to amend the operating requirements of the FHLBanks’ AHP.  The proposal is open for public comment through June 12, 2018.  If adopted as proposed, among other updates, the AHP rule would:

·require an FHLBank to create its own scoring criteria that are designed to satisfy new regulatory outcome requirements, replacing the existing regulatory scoring guidelines;

·permit an FHLBank to voluntarily increase its AHP homeownership set-aside funding program to 40% of annual available funds (up from the current rule’s 35% annual limit);

·increase the per-household set-aside grant amount to $22,000 with an annual housing price inflation adjustment (up from the current fixed limit of $15,000);

·remove the retention agreement requirement for owner-occupied units;

·further align AHP monitoring with certain federal government funding programs;

·increase threshold requirements for certain project types, such as projects dedicated to homeless or special needs populations; and

·authorize an FHLBank using market research empirical data to create special targeted grant programs that would be a sub-set of the regular AHP competitive funding program.

The rule, as proposed, would represent a substantial overhaul of the existing regulation on the FHLBanks’ AHP and fundamentally change the structure and methodology for awarding grants to affordable housing projects.  The proposed rule would also increase AHP’s complexity and administrative burden.

The rule, as proposed, would require changes in the areas of operations, communications, and information systems of the FHLBanks.  It would also require increased Board and Affordable Housing Advisory Council action and increased communications and education with members and sponsors.  The Bank does not believe that the rule, if adopted substantially as proposed, would be material to its financial condition or results of operation, since, among other things, it would not increase the annual AHP funding requirement.  However, the Bank expects there to be increased costs related to implementing the rule requirements and making related adjustments to its systems.  In addition, if the rule is adopted as proposed, the Bank expects a possible change to the types of projects that may be funded on a go-forward basis in the Bank’s district, with a commensurate impact on AHP sponsors and their respective communities.

Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), Farm Credit Administration and Finance Agency Proposed Rule on Margin and Capital Requirements for Covered Swap Entities. On February 21, 2018, the OCC, FRB, FDIC, Farm Credit Administration, and the Finance Agency published a proposed amendment to each agency’s final rule on Margin and Capital Requirements for Covered Swap Entities (“Swap Margin Rules”) to conform the definition of “eligible master netting agreement” in such rules to the FRB’s, OCC’s and FDIC’s final qualified financial contract (“QFC”) rules.  It also clarifies that a legacy swap would not be deemed to be a covered swap under the Swap Margin Rules if it is amended to conform to the QFC rules.  The QFC rules previously published by the OCC, FRB and FDIC require their respective regulated entities to amend covered QFCs to limit a counterparty’s immediate termination or exercise of default rights in the event of bankruptcy or receivership of the regulated entity or its affiliate(s).

Comments on the proposed rule were due by April 23, 2018. The Bank continues to evaluate the proposed rule, but does not expect this rule, if adopted substantially as proposed, to materially affect its financial condition or results of operations.

Finance Agency Advisory Bulletin on Scenario Determination for Market Risk Models Used for Risk-Based Capital.  On February 7, 2018, the Finance Agency issued Advisory Bulletin 2018-01, which supersedes previous guidance on value-at-risk modeling and the calculation of market risk capital requirements, effective as of November 1, 2018.  The Advisory Bulletin provides guidance to FHLBanks regarding the determination of market risk scenarios that are incorporated into the FHLBank’s internal market risk models.  The guidance states that the continued use of proportional or haircut shocks to an FHLBank’s internal risk models will no longer be deemed satisfactory to the Finance Agency.  Instead, the Finance Agency will consider interest rate and market price scenarios that an FHLBank incorporates into its internal market risk model to be satisfactory if they meet the following criteria: (1) the scenarios are based on historical absolute interest rate changes, as applied to current interest rates; (2) the historical shocks represent changes in interest rates and market conditions observed over 120 business-day periods, and the methodology to apply those shocks to current interest rates incorporates the constraints described in the Advisory Bulletin; (3) the scenarios encompass shocks to interest rate volatility that reflect the historical relationship between interest rates and volatility; and (4) for assets backed by residential mortgage loans, the scenarios include shocks to option-adjusted spreads.

The Bank does not expect this Advisory Bulletin to materially affect its financial condition or results of operations.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Market Risk Management.  Market risk or interest rate risk (“IRR”) is the risk of change to market value or future earnings due to a change in the interest rate environment.  IRR arises from the Banks operation due to maturity mismatches between interest rate sensitive cash-flows of assets and liabilities.  As the maturity mismatch increases so does the level of IRR.  The Bank has opted to retain a modest level of IRR which allows for the preservation of capital value while generating steady and predictable income.  Accordingly, 90% of the balance sheet consists of predominantly short-term and LIBOR-based assets and liabilities.  A conservative and limited maturity gap profile of asset and liability positions protect our capital from changes in value arising from interest and rate volatility environment.

The desired risk profile is primarily affected by the use of interest rate exchange agreements (“Swaps”).  All the LIBOR-based advances and long-term advances are swapped to 1- or 3-month LIBOR.  Advances with adjustable rates are tailored to reset to a LIBOR index while long-term consolidated obligations are swapped to 1- or 3-month LIBOR.  These features create a relatively steady income that changes in concert with prevailing interest rate changes to maintain a spread to short-term rates.

Although the Bank maintains a conservative IRR profile, income variability does arise from structural aspects in our portfolio.  These include: embedded prepayment rights, basis risk on asset and liability positions, yield curve risk, and liquidity and funding needs.  These varied risks are controlled by monitoring IRR measures including re-pricing gaps, duration of equity (“DOE”), value at risk (“VaR”), net interest income (“NII”) at risk, key rate durations (“KRD”) and forecasted dividend rates.

Risk Measurements.  Our Risk Management Policy assigns comprehensive risk limits which we calculate on a regular basis.  The risk limits are as follows:

·The option-adjusted DOE is limited to a range of +2.0 years to -3.5 years in the rates unchanged case, and to a range of +/-5.0 years in the +/-200bps shock cases.

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

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

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

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

Our portfolio, including derivatives, is tracked and the overall mismatch between assets and liabilities is summarized by using a DOE measure.  Our last five quarterly DOE results are shown in years in the table below (due to the on-going low interest rate environment, there was no down 200bps measurement performed between the first quarter of 2017 and the fourth quarter of 2017. However, the Bank has performed a down 100bps measurement beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017 and a down 200bps in the first quarter of 2018):

	Base Case DOE	-200bps DOE	-100bps DOE	+200bps DOE
March 31, 2018	-0.15	-1.75	-0.75	0.40
December 31, 2017	-0.37	N/A	-0.95	0.36
September 30, 2017	-0.38	N/A	N/A	0.54
June 30, 2017	-0.24	N/A	N/A	0.53
March 31, 2017	0.06	N/A	N/A	0.75

111

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

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

	One Year Re-pricing Gap
March 31, 2018	$	6.738 Billion
December 31, 2017	$	7.592 Billion
September 30, 2017	$	6.496 Billion
June 30, 2017	$	6.372 Billion
March 31, 2017	$	5.507 Billion

Our review of potential interest rate risk issues also includes the effect of changes in interest rates on expected net income.  We project asset and liability volumes and spreads over a one-year horizon and then simulate expected income and expenses from those volumes and other inputs.  The effects of changes in interest rates are measured to test whether the portfolio has too much exposure in its net interest income over the coming 12-month period.  To measure the effect, the change to the spread in the shocks is calculated and compared against the base case and subjected to a -15 percent limit.  The quarterly sensitivity of our expected net interest income under both +/-200bps shocks over the next 12 months is provided in the table below (due to the ongoing low interest rate environment, the down 200bps measurement was not performed between the first quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2018 however, the Bank has performed a down 100bps measurement beginning the fourth quarter of 2017):

	Sensitivity in the -200bps Shock	Sensitivity inthe -100bpsShock		Sensitivity in the +200bps Shock
March 31, 2018	N/A	-2.69	%	3.98	%
December 31, 2017	N/A	-3.14	%	7.02	%
September 30, 2017	N/A	N/A		3.19	%
June 30, 2017	N/A	N/A		5.28	%
March 31, 2017	N/A	N/A		3.92	%

Aside from net interest income, the other significant impact on changes in the interest rate environment is the potential impact on the value of the portfolio.  These calculated and quoted market values are estimated based upon their financial attributes (including optionality) and then re-estimated under the assumption that interest rates suddenly rise or fall by 200bps.  The worst effect, whether it is the up or the down shock, is compared to the internal limit of 10 percent.  The quarterly potential maximum decline in the market value of equity under these 200bps shocks is provided below (due to the ongoing low interest rate environment, the down 200bps measurement was not performed between the first quarter of 2017 to the fourth quarter of 2017 however, the Bank has performed a down 100bps measurement beginning the fourth quarter of 2017 and a down 200bps for the first quarter of 2018):

	-200bps Change in MVE		-100bps Changein MVE		+200bps Changein MVE
March 31, 2018	-1.69	%	-0.52	%	-0.40	%
December 31, 2017	N/A		-0.81	%	-0.20	%
September 30, 2017	N/A		N/A		-0.39	%
June 30, 2017	N/A		N/A		-0.48	%
March 31, 2017	N/A		N/A		-0.98	%

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