Federal Home Loan Bank of New York

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited

Background

The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY” or “the Bank”) is a federally chartered corporation, and is one of 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 SEC.  The information contained in these financial statements is unaudited.  In the opinion of management, normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period results have been made.  These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the FHLBNY’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, included in Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

The FHLBNY has identified certain accounting policies that it believes are significant because they require management to make subjective judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or by using different assumptions.  These policies include estimating the allowance for credit losses on the advance and mortgage loan portfolios, evaluating the impairment of the FHLBNY’s securities portfolios, and estimating fair values of certain assets and liabilities.  There have been no significant changes to accounting policies from those identified in Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in Notes to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016, which contains a summary of the Bank’s significant accounting policies and estimates.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-05, Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships, as an amendment to Derivatives and Hedging Activities (Topic 815).  The amendments clarify that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under GAAP does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met.   The amendments provided entities with the option to apply the guidance using either a prospective approach or a modified retrospective approach, retrospectively applied to all derivative instruments that meet the specific conditions.   The FHLBNY elected to early adopt the guidance prospectively on January 1, 2016.  The adoption of this guidance had no effect on the Bank’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value (NAV) per Share (or its Equivalent).

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

Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.

In April 2015, the FASB ASU issued No. 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement to add guidance to Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software.  The ASU clarifies a customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement, and provides guidance to customers on determining whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license that should be accounted for as internal-use software.  If the arrangement does not contain a software license, it would be accounted for as a service contract.  The FHLBNY adopted ASU 2015-05 prospectively on January 1, 2016, and the effect of adoption had no material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-imputation of interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.  The ASU requires a reclassification on the statement of condition of debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability from other assets to a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.  The intent is to eliminate the different presentation requirements of debt issuance cost and debt discounts and premiums, which have caused confusion among users of financial statements.  The FHLBNY adopted ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016, and has reclassified unamortized debt issuance costs from Other assets to Consolidated obligations on the Statements of Condition at December 31, 2015.  Adoption had no material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Note   2.Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

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 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.  The CECL model represents a significant departure from existing GAAP, and may result in material changes to the FHLBNY’s accounting for financial instruments.  The FHLBNY is evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.  The ASU will be effective for the FHLBNY as of January 1, 2020.  Early application is permitted for annual periods beginning January 1, 2019.

Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06, Contingent Put and Call options in Debt Instruments, as an amendment to Derivatives and Hedging Activities (Topic 815).  The amendments clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts.  The guidance requires entities to apply only the four-step decision sequence when assessing whether the economic characteristics and risks of call (put) options are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of their debt hosts.  Consequently, when a call (put) option is contingently exercisable, an entity does not have to assess whether the event that triggers the ability to exercise a call (put) option is related to interest rates or credit risks.  This guidance becomes effective for the FHLBNY as of January 1, 2017, and early adoption is permitted.  The guidance should be applied on a modified retrospective basis to existing debt instruments as of the beginning of the period for which the amendments are effective.  The FHLBNY is in the process of evaluating this guidance, and does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

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.  Lessor accounting is largely unchanged.  The guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2019 with an option to early adopt.  The FHLBNY is evaluating whether to early adopt and the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial statements, regulatory capital and related disclosures.

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.  It will also require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) 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.

The guidance becomes effective for the FHLBNY as of January 1, 2018.  The amendments, in general, should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment on the statement of condition as of the beginning of the period of adoption.  The FHLBNY is in the process of evaluating this guidance, and does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40).  The final guidance requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, disclose that fact in the footnotes.  Management will also be required to evaluate and disclose whether it plans to alleviate that doubt.  The new standard defines substantial doubt as when it is probable (i.e. likely) based on management’s assessment of relevant qualitative and quantitative information and judgment that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year of the date the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued, when applicable).  The standard is effective for the FHLBNY as of January 1, 2017.  While early adoption is permitted, the FHLBNY has elected not to early adopt, but does not expect the impact of the required disclosures to have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Revenue Recognition.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  The FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) initiated a joint project to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and IFRS that would remove inconsistencies and improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and industries, and provide more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements.  The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  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.

On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to defer the effective date of the guidance issued by one year.  In 2016, the FASB has issued additional amendments to clarify certain aspects of the new revenue guidance.  However, these amendments do not change the core principle of the new revenue standard.  This guidance is effective for the FHLBNY as of January 1, 2018.  Early application is permitted only as of the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  The FHLBNY is in the process of evaluating this guidance, and does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows

Note   3.Cash and Due from Banks.

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

Compensating Balances

Beginning in August 2015, the FHLBNY 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.  The balance at June 30, 2016 was $162.8 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 $52.2 million and $47.5 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The offsetting liabilities due to members were recorded in Other liabilities in the Statements of Condition.

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

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

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

The FHLBNY had deposited $635.3 million and $370.5 million in cash at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 with derivative counterparties and these amounts earned interest generally at the overnight Federal funds rate.  As provided under master netting agreements or under a legal netting opinion, the cash posted was reclassified and recorded as a deduction to Derivative liabilities.  Cash collateral or margin posted by the FHLBNY in excess of the fair value exposures were classified as a Derivative asset.  See Credit Risk due to non-performance by counterparties in Note 15.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell — As part of the FHLBNY’s banking activities, the FHLBNY may enter into secured financing transactions that mature overnight, and can be extended only at the discretion of the FHLBNY.  These transactions involve the lending of cash, against which marketable securities are taken as collateral.  The amount of cash loaned against the collateral is a function of the liquidity and quality of the collateral.  The collateral is typically in the form of securities that meet the FHLBNY’s credit quality standards, are highly-rated and readily marketable.  The FHLBNY has the ability to call for additional collateral if the value of the securities falls below a pre-defined haircut.  The FHLBNY can terminate the transaction and liquidate the collateral if the counterparty fails to post the additional margin.  Under these agreements, the FHLBNY would not have the right to re-pledge the securities received.  No adjustments for instrument-specific credit risk were deemed necessary as market values of collateral were in excess of principal amounts loaned.

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the outstanding balances of Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell were $5.8 billion and $4.0 billion that matured overnight.  Of these amounts, $5.5 billion and $4.0 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were executed through a tri-party arrangement that involved transfer of overnight funds to a segregated safekeeping account at the Bank of New York (“BONY”); BONY, acting as an independent agent on behalf of the FHLBNY and the counterparty to the transactions, assumes the responsibility of receiving eligible securities as collateral and releasing funds to the counterparty.  At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, U.S. Treasury securities, market values of $5.5 billion and $4.0 billion were received at BONY to collateralize the overnight investments.

The remaining overnight investments of $0.3 billion were executed bilaterally with counterparties at June 30, 2016, and were collateralized by U.S Treasury securities with market values of $0.3 billion that were pledged to the FHLBNY’s custodial safekeeping account.  No overnight investments had been executed bilaterally with counterparties at December 31, 2015.

Securities purchased under agreements to resell averaged $1.7 billion and $2.4 billion in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.  For the same periods in the prior year, transaction balances averaged $1.4 billion.  Transactions recorded as Securities purchased under agreements to resell (reverse repos) were accounted as collateralized financing transactions.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, interest income from securities purchased under agreements to resell were $1.3 million and $3.5 million, compared to interest income of $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the same periods in the prior year.

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited

Certain non-Agency Private label MBS are insured by Ambac Assurance Corp (“Ambac”), MBIA Insurance Corp (“MBIA”) and Assured Guarantee Municipal Corp., (“AGM”).  Assumptions by the FHLBNY on the extent of expected reliance by the FHLBNY on insurance support by Ambac and MBIA to make whole expected cash shortfalls are noted in Monoline insurance in a subsequent paragraph within this Note 5. Held-to-Maturity Securities.

Securities Pledged

The FHLBNY had pledged MBS with an amortized cost basis of $8.0 million and $8.7 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 to the FDIC in connection with deposits maintained by the FDIC at the FHLBNY.  The FDIC does not have rights to sell or repledge the collateral unless the FHLBNY defaults under the terms of its deposit arrangements with the FDIC.

Unrealized Losses

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

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

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the FHLBNY’s investments in housing finance agency bonds had gross unrealized losses of $39.6 million and $42.4 million.  Management has reviewed the portfolio and has observed that the bonds are performing to their contractual terms, and has concluded that, as of June 30, 2016, 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 included 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 fairly to the “AA municipal sector”.  Based on our review, the FHLBNY expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.  If conditions in the housing and mortgage markets and general business and economic conditions remain stressed or deteriorate further, the fair value of the bonds may decline further and the FHLBNY may experience OTTI in future periods.

Redemption Terms

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

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

The FHLBNY evaluates its individual securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and U.S. government agency, (collectively GSE-issued securities), by considering the creditworthiness and performance of the debt securities and the strength of the GSEs’ guarantees of the securities.  Based on analysis, GSE-issued securities are performing in accordance with their contractual agreements.  The FHLBNY believes that it will recover its investments in GSE- issued securities given the current levels of collateral, credit enhancements and guarantees that exist to protect the investments.

Management evaluates its investments in private-label MBS (“PLMBS”) for OTTI on a quarterly basis by performing cash flow tests on its entire portfolio of PLMBS.  For more information about cash flow impairment assessment methodology, see Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

OTTI — Two PLMBS, which had been determined to be OTTI in a prior year, were re-impaired.  Credit-related OTTI of $8 thousand was recorded in the first quarter of 2016 and $138 thousand was recorded in the second quarter of 2016.  The re-impairment was due to further deterioration in the credit performance metrics of the security.

The following table presents the key characteristics of two securities that were determined to be re-impaired and OTTI (in thousands):

	Three months ended				Three months ended					Six months ended
	June 30, 2016				June 30, 2016					June 30, 2016

Total Securities	$	6,242	$	4,503	$	(138	)	$	138	$	(146	)	$	33

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

(b) Represent cumulative OTTI in the reporting periods recorded at the OTTI determination quarter end dates.  If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected (discounted at the security’s initial effective yield) is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, an OTTI is considered to have occurred because the entire amortized cost basis of the security will not be recovered.  The credit-related OTTI is recognized in earnings.  The non-credit portion of OTTI, which represents the fair value loss of an OTTI security, is recognized in AOCI.

Based on cash flow testing, the Bank believes no additional OTTI exists for the remaining investments at June 30, 2016.  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 June 30, 2016, and has concluded that it will not be required to sell such securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis of the securities.

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

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015
Beginning balance	$	31,132		$	34,121		$	31,892		$	34,893
Additional credit losses for which an OTTI charge was previously recognized	138			61			146			61
Increases in cash flows expected to be collected, recognized over the remaining life of the securities	(763		)	(832		)	(1,531		)	(1,604		)
Ending balance	$	30,507		$	33,350		$	30,507		$	33,350

Monoline insurance — Certain PLMBS owned by the FHLBNY are insured by third-party bond insurers (“monoline insurers”).  The bond insurance on these investments guarantees the timely payments of principal and interest if these payments cannot be satisfied from the cash flows of the underlying mortgage pool.  The FHLBNY performs cash flow credit impairment tests on all of its PLMBS, and the analysis of the securities protected by such third-party insurance looks first to the performance of the underlying security, and considers its embedded credit enhancements in the form of excess spread, overcollateralization, and credit subordination, to determine the collectability of all amounts due.  If the embedded credit enhancement protections are deemed insufficient to make timely payment of all amounts due, then the FHLBNY considers the capacity of the third-party bond insurer to cover any shortfalls.  Certain monoline insurers have been subject to adverse ratings, rating downgrades, and weakening financial performance measures.  In estimating the insurers’ capacity to provide credit protection in the future to cover any shortfall in cash flows expected to be collected for securities deemed to be OTTI, the FHLBNY has developed a methodology to analyze and assess the ability of the monoline insurers to meet future insurance obligations.  Based on analysis performed, the FHLBNY has determined that for bond insurer AGM, insurance guarantees can be relied upon to cover projected shortfalls.  For bond insurer MBIA, we anticipate it can be relied upon to cover projected shortfalls through December 31, 2016.  For bond insurer Ambac, the reliance period is through June 30, 2020 and is further limited to cover 45% of shortfalls.

Significant Inputs

For determining the fair values of all MBS, the FHLBNY has obtained pricing from four pricing services; the prices were clustered, averaged, and then assessed qualitatively before adopting the “final price”.  Disaggregation of the Level 3 bonds is by collateral type supporting the credit structure of the PLMBS, and the FHLBNY deems that no further disaggregation is necessary for a qualitative understanding of the sensitivity of fair values.  The table below provides a distribution of the prices, and the final price adopted for determining OTTI for the two securities deemed OTTI at June 30, 2016 (dollars in thousands except for price):

(a)The FHLBNY has a grantor trust, the intent of which is to set aside cash to meet current and future payments for a supplemental unfunded pension plan.  Neither the pension plan nor employees of the FHLBNY own the trust.  Investments in the trust are classified as AFS.  The grantor trust invests in money market, equity and fixed income and bond funds.  Daily net asset values (NAVs) are readily available and investments are redeemable at short notice.  NAVs are the fair values of the funds in the grantor trust.  The mutual funds used to manage the assets of the Grantor trust will be sufficiently liquid to enable the trust to meet all future liabilities.  Liquidity shall be assured by keeping an adequate amount of short-term investments in the portfolio to accommodate the cash needs of the trust.  Dividend income and the net realized gain from sales of funds was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $0.1 million and $0.8 million for the same periods in the prior year; amounts were recorded in Other income in the Statements of Income.

(b)Recorded in AOCI — Net unrealized fair value gains were $4.9 million at June 30, 2016 and $9.3 million at December 31, 2015.

Unrealized Losses — MBS Classified as AFS Securities

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

Redemption Terms

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

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

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

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

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

Concentration of Advances Outstanding.  Advances to the FHLBNY’s top ten borrowing member institutions are reported in Note 19.  Segment Information and Concentration.  The FHLBNY held sufficient collateral to cover the advances to all institutions and it does not expect to incur any credit losses.  Advances borrowed by insurance

companies accounted for 20.1% and 17.0% of total advances at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Lending to insurance companies poses a number of unique risks not present in lending to federally insured depository institutions.  For example, there is no single federal regulator for insurance companies.  They are supervised by state regulators and subject to state insurance codes and regulations.  There is uncertainty about whether a state insurance commissioner would try to void the FHLBNY’s claims on collateral in the event of an insurance company failure.  As with all members, insurance companies are also required to purchase the FHLBNY’s capital stock as a prerequisite to membership.  The FHLBNY’s management takes a number of steps to mitigate the unique risk of lending to insurance companies.  At the time of membership, the FHLBNY requires an insurance company to be highly-rated and to meet the FHLBNY’s credit quality standards.  The FHLBNY performs credit analysis of insurance borrowers quarterly.  The FHLBNY also requires member insurance companies to pledge, as collateral for the FHLBNY’s custody, highly-rated readily marketable securities and mortgages that meet the FHLBNY’s credit quality standards.  Appropriate minimum margins are applied to all collateral, and the margins are reviewed quarterly to adjust for price volatility.  However, for certain high credit quality insurance companies, the FHLBNY may allow mortgage as collateral, provided the collateral and collateral listings are in the custody of a third party safekeeping agent, and the insurance company fulfills all other standard terms and conditions.

Security Terms.  The FHLBNY lends to financial institutions involved in housing finance within its district.  Borrowing members pledge their capital stock of the FHLBNY as additional collateral for advances.  As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the FHLBNY had rights to collateral with an estimated value greater than outstanding advances.  Based upon the financial condition of the member, the FHLBNY:

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

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

Beyond these provisions, Section 10(e) of the FHLBank Act affords any security interest granted by a member to the FHLBNY’s priority over the claims or rights of any other party.  The two exceptions are claims that would be entitled to priority under otherwise applicable law or perfected security interests.  All member obligations with the FHLBNY were fully collateralized throughout their entire term.  The total of collateral pledged to the FHLBNY includes excess collateral pledged above the minimum collateral requirements.  However, a “Maximum Lendable Value” is established to ensure that the FHLBNY has sufficient eligible collateral securing credit extensions.

Note 8.Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio.

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

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

(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 is recorded at the settlement of the loan and represents the difference in trade price paid for acquiring the loan and the price at the settlement date for a similar loan.  The basis is amortized as a yield adjustment to Interest income.

The FHLBNY and its members share the credit risk of MPF loans by structuring potential credit losses into layers.  The first layer is typically 100 basis points, but this varies with the particular MPF product.  The amount of the first layer, or First Loss Account (“FLA”), was estimated at $28.5 million and $27.1 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The FLA is not recorded or reported as a reserve for loan losses, as it serves as a memorandum

20

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited

or information account.  The FHLBNY is responsible for absorbing the first layer.  The second layer is that amount of credit obligations that the PFI has taken on which will equate the loan to a double-A rating.  The FHLBNY pays a credit enhancement fee to the PFI for taking on this obligation.  The FHLBNY assumes all residual risk.  Credit enhancement fees accrued were $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the same periods in the prior year.  These fees were reported as a reduction to mortgage loan interest income.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Allowance Methodology for Loan Losses

Mortgage loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the FHLBNY will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage loan agreements.  The FHLBNY considers the occurrence of a serious delinquency, 90 days or more delinquent, as a primary confirming event of a credit loss.  Bankruptcy and foreclosures are also considered as confirming events.  When a loan is past due 90 days or more, or is in bankruptcy or in foreclosure, the FHLBNY measures estimated credit losses on an individual loan basis.  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 for estimated credit losses on a collective basis.  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.  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.

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 certain 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 loss on loans that are modified, as we consider such loans as TDR.  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.  Prior to the first quarter of 2016, the result of the migration analysis was used as a qualitative measure to supplement and to corroborate credit loss allowance that was performed on a loan level basis.  Beginning with the first quarter of 2016, the FHLBNY records the results of loans collectively evaluated

21

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited

for impairment utilizing the migration analysis, and an additional allowance of $1.0 million was recorded as a charge to earnings, with a corresponding increase in allowance for 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 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 a loss is incurred, the FHLBNY would withhold CE fee payments to the PFI associated with the loan that is in a loss position.  The amount withheld would be commensurate with the credit loss and the loss layer for which the PFI has assumed the credit enhancement responsibility.  The FHLBNY’s loss experience has been insignificant and amounts of CE fees withheld have been insignificant 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):

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

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

(c)Interest received is not recorded as Interest income if an uninsured loan is past due 90 days or more.  Cash received is recorded as a liability on the assumption that cash was remitted by the servicer to the FHLBNY that could potentially be recouped by the borrower in a foreclosure.

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

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

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) and MPF Modification Standards.  Troubled debt restructuring is considered to have occurred when a concession is granted to a borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties and that concession would not have been otherwise considered.  Effective August 1, 2009, the MPF program introduced a temporary loan payment modification plan for participating PFIs, which was initially available until December 31, 2011 and has been extended through December 31, 2017.  This modification plan was made available to homeowners currently in default or imminent danger of default and only a few MPF loans had been modified under the plan and outstanding at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Due to the insignificant numbers of loans modified and considered to be a TDR, forgiveness and other information with respect to the modifications have been omitted. Loans modified under this program are considered impaired.  The allowance for credit losses on those impaired loans were evaluated individually, and the allowance balances were $0.2 million and $0.1 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  A loan involved in the MPF modification program is individually evaluated by the FHLBNY for impairment when determining its related allowance for credit losses.  A modified loan is considered a TDR until the modified loan is performing to its original terms.

The FHLBNY measures all estimated credit losses based on the liquidation value of the real property collateral supporting the impaired loan after deducting costs to liquidate.  That value is compared to the carrying value of the impaired mortgage loan, and a shortfall is recorded as an allowance for credit losses.

Loans discharged from bankruptcy — The FHLBNY includes MPF loans discharged from Chapter 7 bankruptcy as TDRs; $10.6 million and $10.7 million of such loans were outstanding at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The FHLBNY has determined that the discharge of mortgage debt in bankruptcy is a concession as defined under existing accounting literature for TDRs.  A loan discharged from bankruptcy is assessed for credit impairment only if past due 90 days or more, and $1.0 million were deemed impaired due to their past due delinquency status at June 30, 2016.  The allowance for credit losses associated with those loans was immaterial as the loans were well collateralized.

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

	June 30, 2016						December 31, 2015

Note 10.Consolidated Obligations.

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

The Finance Agency, at its discretion, may require any FHLBank to make principal or interest payments due on any consolidated obligations.  Although it has never occurred, to the extent that a FHLBank would make a payment on a consolidated obligation on behalf of another FHLBank, the paying FHLBank would be entitled to reimbursement from the non-complying FHLBank.  However, if the Finance Agency determines that the non-complying FHLBank is unable to satisfy its obligations, then the Finance Agency may allocate the outstanding liability among the remaining FHLBanks on a pro rata basis in proportion to each FHLBank’s participation in all consolidated obligations outstanding, or on any other basis the Finance Agency may determine.  Based on management’s review, the FHLBNY has no reason to record actual or contingent liabilities with respect to the occurrence of events or circumstances that would require the FHLBNY to assume an obligation on behalf of other FHLBanks.  The par amounts of the FHLBanks’ outstanding consolidated obligations, including consolidated obligations held by other FHLBanks, were approximately $1.0 trillion and $0.9 trillion as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Finance Agency regulations require the FHLBanks to maintain, in the aggregate, unpledged qualifying assets equal to the consolidated obligations outstanding.  Qualifying assets are defined as cash; secured advances; obligations, participations, mortgages, or other securities of or issued by the United States or an agency of the United States; and securities in which fiduciary and trust funds may invest under the laws of the state in which the FHLBank is located.

The FHLBNY met the qualifying unpledged asset requirements as follows:

Percentage of unpledged qualifying assets to consolidated obligations	107	%	107	%

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

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

The FHLBNY’s Capital Plan offers two sub-classes of Class B capital stock, membership and activity-based capital stock.

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

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

Membership and Activity-based Class B capital stock have the same voting rights and dividend rates.  Members can redeem Class B stock by giving five years notice.  The FHLBNY’s capital plan does not provide for the issuance of Class A capital stock.

The FHLBNY is subject to risk-based capital rules.  Specifically, the FHLBNY is subject to three capital requirements under its capital plan.  First, the FHLBNY must maintain at all times permanent capital in an amount at least equal to the sum of its credit risk, market risk, and operations risk capital requirements as calculated in accordance with the FHLBNY policy, and rules and regulations of the Finance Agency.  Only permanent capital, defined as Class B stock and retained earnings, satisfies this risk-based capital requirement.  The Finance Agency may require the FHLBNY to maintain an amount of permanent capital greater than what is required by the risk-based capital requirements.  In addition, the FHLBNY is required to maintain at least a 4.0% total capital-to-asset ratio and at least a 5.0% leverage ratio at all times.  The FHFA’s regulatory leverage ratio is defined as the sum of permanent capital weighted 1.5 times and non-permanent capital weighted 1.0 times divided by total assets.

The FHLBNY was in compliance with the aforementioned capital rules and requirements for all periods presented, and met the “adequately capitalized” classification, which is the highest rating, under the capital rule.  However, the Finance Agency has discretion to reclassify a FHLBank and to modify or add to the corrective action requirements for a particular capital classification.  If the FHLBNY became classified into a capital classification other than adequately capitalized, the Bank could be adversely impacted by the corrective action requirements for that capital classification.  For more information about the capital rules under the Finance Agency regulations and a discussion of any corrective actions, see Note 12.  Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings in the audited financial statements included in our most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

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

	June 30, 2016						December 31, 2015
	Required (d)			Actual			Required (d)			Actual
Regulatory capital requirements:
Risk-based capital (a)(e)	$	695,167		$	7,018,858		$	691,580		$	6,874,668
Total capital-to-asset ratio	4.00		%	5.45		%	4.00		%	5.58		%
Total capital (b)	$	5,149,030		$	7,018,858		$	4,929,936		$	6,874,668
Leverage ratio	5.00		%	8.18		%	5.00		%	8.37		%
Leverage capital (c)	$	6,436,288		$	10,528,287		$	6,162,420		$	10,312,002

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

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

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

(d)Required minimum.

(e)Under regulatory guidelines issued by the Finance Agency 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 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.

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 $338.1 million and $303.1 million of Restricted retained earnings in the FHLBNY’s Total Capital at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Note 15.Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

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

Derivative contracts hedging the risks associated with the changes in fair value are referred to as Fair value hedges, while contracts hedging the risks affecting the expected future cash flows are called Cash flow hedges.  For more information, see Derivatives in Note 1. Significant Accounting Polices and Estimates in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

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

We use derivatives in three ways — by designating them as a fair value or cash flow hedge of an underlying financial instrument or a forecasted transaction that qualifies for hedge accounting treatment; by acting as an intermediary; or by designating the derivative as an asset-liability management hedge (i.e. an “economic hedge”).

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 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 flows are not effective, changes in their fair values are immediately included 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.

Principal hedging activities are summarized below:

Consolidated Obligations

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

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

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

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

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

·Cash flow hedges of “Anticipated Consolidated Bond Issuance” — The FHLBNY enters into interest-rate swaps to hedge the anticipated issuance of debt, and to “lock in” the interest to be paid for the cost of funding.

31

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited

The swaps are terminated upon issuance of the debt instrument, and gains or losses upon termination are recorded in AOCI.  Gains and losses are reclassified to earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows of the debt that was issued.

·Cash flow hedges of “Rolling Issuance of Discount Notes” — The FHLBNY executes long-term pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps as hedges of the variable quarterly interest payments on the discount note borrowing program.  In this program, we issue a series of discount notes with 91-day terms over periods typically up to 15 years.  We will continue issuing new 91-day discount notes over the terms of the swaps as each outstanding discount note matures.  The interest rate swaps require a settlement every 91 days, and the variable rate, which is based on the 3-month LIBOR, is reset immediately following each payment.  The swaps are expected to eliminate the risk of variability of cash flows for each forecasted discount note issuance every 91 days.  The fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded in AOCI and ineffectiveness, if any, is recorded in earnings.  Amounts recorded in AOCI are reclassified to earnings in the same periods in which interest expenses are affected by the variability of the cash flows of the discount notes.

Economic hedges of consolidated obligation debt — When we issue variable-rate consolidated obligation bonds indexed to 1-month LIBOR, the U.S. Prime rate, or Federal funds rate, we will generally simultaneously execute interest-rate swaps (“basis swaps”) to hedge the basis risk of the variable rate debt to 3-month LIBOR, the FHLBNY’s preferred funding base.  The basis swaps are designated as economic hedges of the floating-rate bonds.  The choice of an economic hedge is made because the FHLBNY has determined that the operational cost of designating the hedges under accounting standards for derivatives and hedge accounting would outweigh the accounting benefits.  In this economic hedge, only the interest rate swap is carried at fair value, with changes in fair values recorded though earnings.

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

Advances

We offer a wide array of advances structures to meet members’ funding needs.  These advances may have maturities up to 30 years with fixed or adjustable rates and may include early termination features or options.  We may use derivatives to adjust the repricing and/or options characteristics of advances to more closely match the characteristics of its funding liabilities.

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

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

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

Economic hedges of variable rate capped advances — We offer variable rate advances with an embedded option that caps the interest rate payable by the borrower.  The FHLBNY would typically offset the risk presented by the embedded cap by executing a matching standalone cap.

Mortgage Loans

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

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

Member Intermediation

To meet the hedging needs of its members, the FHLBNY acts as an intermediary between the members and the other counterparties.  This intermediation allows smaller members to access the derivatives market.  The derivatives used in intermediary activities do not qualify for hedge accounting, and fair value changes are recorded in earnings.  Since the FHLBNY mitigates the fair value exposure of these positions by executing identical offsetting transactions, the net impact in earnings is not significant.  The notional principal of interest rate swaps outstanding were $126.0 million and $31.0 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The FHLBNY’s exposure with respect to the transactions with members was fully collateralized.

Other Economic Hedges

The derivatives in economic hedges are considered freestanding and changes in the fair values of the swaps are recorded through income.  In general, economic hedges comprised of (1) interest rate caps to hedge balance sheet risk, specifically interest rate risk from certain capped floating rate investment securities, and (2) interest rate swaps that had previously qualified as hedges under the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging, but had been subsequently de-designated from hedge accounting as they were assessed as being not highly effective hedges.

Credit Risk Due to Non-performance by Counterparties

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

Derivatives are instruments that derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates and other inputs, or a combination of these factors.  The FHLBNY executes derivatives with swap dealers and financial institution swap counterparties as negotiated contracts, which are usually referred to as over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives.  The majority of OTC derivative contracts are primarily bilateral contracts between the FHLBNY and the swap counterparties that are executed and settled bilaterally with counterparties, rather than settling the transaction with a derivative clearing organization (“DCO”).  Certain of the FHLBNY’s OTC derivatives are executed bilaterally with executing swap counterparties, then cleared and settled through one or more DCOs as mandated under the Dodd-Frank Act.  When transacting a derivative for clearing, the FHLBNY utilizes a designated clearing agent, the Futures Clearing Merchant (“FCM”) that acts on behalf of the FHLBNY to clear and settle the interest rate exchange transaction through the DCO.  Once the transaction is accepted for clearing by the FCM, acting in the capacity of an intermediary between the FHLBNY and the DCO, the original transaction between the FHLBNY and the executing swap counterparty is extinguished, and is replaced by an identical transaction between the FHLBNY and the DCO.  The DCO becomes the counterparty to the FHLBNY.  However, the FCM remains as the principal operational contact and interacts with the DCO through the life cycle events of the derivative transaction on behalf of the FHLBNY.

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

33

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited

agreements would not be stayed, or avoided under applicable law upon an event of default including bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving the DCO or the FHLBNY’s clearing agents or both.  Based on the analysis of the rules, and legal analysis obtained, the FHLBNY has made a determination that it has the right of setoff that is enforceable under applicable law that would allow it to net individual derivative contracts executed through a specific clearing agent, the FCM, to a designated DCO, so that a net derivative receivable or payable will be recorded for the DCO; that exposure (less margin held) would be represented by a single amount receivable from the DCO, and that amount be the appropriate measure of credit risk.  This policy election for netting cleared derivatives is consistent with the policy election for netting bilaterally settled derivative transactions under master netting agreements.

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

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities — Net Presentation

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

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

(b)Total net amount represents net unsecured amounts of Derivative assets and liabilities recorded in the Statements of Condition at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The amounts primarily represent (1) the aggregate credit support thresholds that were waived under ISDA Credit Support and Master netting agreements between the FHLBNY and derivative counterparties for uncleared derivative contracts, and (2) Initial margins posted by the FHLBNY to DCO on cleared derivative transactions.  It does not include non-cash collateral received or pledged.

(c)Non-Cash collateral received or pledged not offset — Bilateral derivative: certain counterparties have pledged U.S. treasury securities to collateralize FHLBNY’S exposure.  Delivery commitments - amounts represent exposure arising from derivative positions with member counterparties where we acted as an intermediary, and a small amount of delivery commitments (see footnote a).  Amounts are collateralized by pledged non-cash collateral, primarily 1-4 family housing collateral.

(d)Represents net exposure after applying non-cash collateral pledged to the FHLBNY.

The gross derivative exposure, as represented by derivatives in fair value gain positions for the FHLBNY, before netting and offsetting cash collateral, was $702.9 million at June 30, 2016 and $593.6 million at December 31, 2015.  Fair value amounts that were netted as a result of master netting agreements, or as a result of a determination that netting requirements had been met (including obtaining a legal analysis supporting the enforceability of the netting for cleared OTC derivatives), were $378.7 million and $412.0 million at those dates.  These netting adjustments included $82.2 million and $329.9 million in cash posted by counterparties to mitigate the FHLBNY’s exposures at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and the net exposures after offsetting adjustments were $324.3 million and $181.7 million at those dates.

Derivative counterparties are also exposed to credit losses resulting from potential non-performance risk of the FHLBNY with respect to derivative contracts, and their exposure, due to a potential default or non-performance by

the FHLBNY, is measured by derivatives in a fair value loss position from the FHLBNY’s perspective (and a gain position from the counterparty’s perspective).  At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, net fair values of derivatives in unrealized loss positions were $197.4 million and $210.1 million, after deducting $635.3 million and $370.5 million of cash collateral posted to the exposed counterparties.

With respect to cleared derivatives, cash posted to the DCOs were in excess of required margins, primarily due to the requirement to post Initial margin.  The DCOs were exposed to the extent of the failure of the FHLBNY to deliver cash margin, which is typically paid one day following the execution of a cleared derivative, and that specific exposure was not significant at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

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

Earnings Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities

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

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

(a)Cash flow hedges of anticipated issuance of consolidated obligation bonds.

Changes in period recognized in AOCI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and the same periods in the prior year — Cash flow hedges executed in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 resulted in net unrecognized losses of $0.7 million and $1.7 million from contracts that were closed in the reporting periods.  In the same periods in the prior year, contracts that were closed resulted in net unrecognized gains of $0.4 million and net unrecognized losses of $0.9 million.  Unrecognized gains and losses in AOCI are amortized and reclassified to interest income and expense with an offset to the cumulative balance in AOCI.  Open swap contracts under this hedging strategy were $25.0 million and $35.0 million in notional amounts at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The fair values recorded in AOCI were unrealized losses of $0.7 million and $0.1 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  There were no open contracts at June 30, 2015.  See Statements of Comprehensive Income for more information.

Cumulative unamortized balance in AOCI — The balance in AOCI of cumulative net unrecognized losses from hedges of anticipatory issuance strategy was $6.4 million at June 30, 2016, $5.7 million at June 30, 2015 and $5.8 million at December 31, 2015.

Amount Reclassified to Earnings — Amounts represented amortization of unrecognized losses from previously closed contracts that were a charge to interest expense and an offset to reduce the unamortized balance in AOCI.

Ineffectiveness Recognized in Earnings — Amounts were immaterial, and represented cash flow hedge ineffectiveness that were recorded in earnings in Other income as a fair value loss or gain from hedging activities.

Changes in period recognized in AOCI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 — Amounts represented period-over-period change in the fair values of open swap contracts in the cash flow hedging strategy.  Open swap contracts under this strategy were notional amounts of $1.6 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The fair values changes recorded in AOCI were net unrealized losses of $22.0 million and $77.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to net unrealized gains of $30.6 million and $9.8 million for the same periods in the prior year.  The cash flow hedges mitigated exposure to the variability in future cash flows over a maximum period of 15 years.

Cumulative unamortized balance in AOCI — The balance in AOCI of cumulative net unrecognized losses from hedges of discount notes in rolling issuances was $163.1 million at June 30, 2016, $71.0 million at June 30, 2015 and $85.2 million at December 31, 2015.

(c)Ineffectiveness recognized in earnings — Only 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, $1.9 million of the unrecognized loss in AOCI will be recognized as a yield adjustment (expense) 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 so that the inputs may not be market based and observable.

Fair Value Hierarchy

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

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

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

38

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited

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

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

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

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

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

Summary of Valuation Techniques and Primary Inputs

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

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

Cash and Due from Banks — The estimated fair values approximate the recorded book balances, and are considered to be within the Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

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

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

Mortgage-backed securities — The FHLBNY’s valuation technique incorporates prices from up to four designated third-party pricing services, when available.  The FHLBNY’s base investment pricing methodology establishes a median price for each security using a formula that is based on the number of prices received.  If four prices are received from the four pricing vendors, the average of the two middle prices is used; if three prices are received, the middle price is used; if two prices are received, the average of the two prices is used; and if one price is received, it is used subject to further validation.  Vendor prices that are outside of a defined tolerance threshold of the median price are identified as outliers and subject to additional review, including, but not limited to, comparison to prices provided by an additional third-party valuation service, prices for similar securities, and/or non-binding dealer estimates, or use of internal model prices, which are deemed to be reflective of all relevant facts and circumstances that a market participant would consider.  Such analysis is also applied in those limited instances where no third-party vendor price or only one third-party vendor price is available in order to arrive at an estimated fair value.  In its analysis, the FHLBNY employs the concept of cluster pricing and cluster tolerances.  Once the median prices are computed from the four pricing vendors, the second step is to determine which of the sourced prices fall within the required tolerance level interval to the median price, which forms the “cluster” of prices to be averaged.  This average will determine a “default” price for the security.  The cluster tolerance guidelines shall be reviewed annually and may be revised as necessary.  To be included among the cluster, at June 30, 2016, each price must fall within 7 points (7 points at December 31, 2015) of the median price for residential PLMBS and within 2 points (2 points at December 31, 2015) of the median price for GSE-issued MBS.  The final step is to determine the final price of the

39

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

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

Based on the FHLBNY’s review processes, management has concluded that inputs into the pricing models employed by pricing services for the FHLBNY’s investments in GSE securities are market based and observable and are considered to be within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  The valuation of the private-label securities, all designated as held-to-maturity, may require pricing services to use significant inputs that are subjective and are considered to be within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  This determination was made based on management’s view that the private-label instruments may not have an active market because of the specific vintage of the securities as well as inherent conditions surrounding the trading of private-label MBS, so that the inputs may not be market based and observable.  At June 30, 2016, two held-to-maturity private-label MBS were deemed OTTI but not written down to its fair value as their fair values are greater than carrying values. Thus they were not classified on a nonrecurring basis as Level 3 financial instruments under the valuation hierarchy.  At December 31, 2015, one held-to-maturity private -label MBS was deemed OTTI and was written down to its fair values, so that its carrying values recorded in the balance sheet equaled its fair values, which was classified on a nonrecurring basis as Level 3 financial instruments under the valuation hierarchy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The FHLBNY creates an internal curve, which is interpolated from its advance rates.  Advance rates are calculated by applying a spread to an underlying “base curve” derived from the FHLBNY’s cost of funds, which is based on the CO Curve, inputs to which have been determined to be market observable and classified as Level 2.  The spreads applied to the base advance pricing curve typically represent the FHLBNY’s mark-ups over the FHLBNY’s cost of funds, and are not market observable inputs, but are based on the FHLBNY’s advance pricing strategy.  Such inputs have been classified as a Level 3 input, 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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  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.

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

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

Mortgage Loans (MPF Loans)

A.  Principal and/or Most Advantageous Market and Market Participants — MPF Loans

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

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

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

B.  Fair Value at Initial Recognition — MPF Loans

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

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

C. Valuation Technique, Inputs and Hierarchy

The FHLBNY calculates the fair value of the entire mortgage loan portfolio using a valuation technique referred to as the “market approach”.  Loans are aggregated into synthetic pass-through securities based on product type, loan origination year, gross coupon and loan term.  The fair values are based on TBA rates (or agency commitment rates), as discussed above, adjusted primarily for seasonality.  TBA and agency commitment rates are market observable and therefore classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.  However, many of the credit and default risk related inputs involved with the valuation techniques described above may be considered unobservable due to a variety of reasons (e.g., lack of market activity for a particular loan, inherent judgment involved in property estimates).  If unobservable inputs are considered significant, the loans would be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, fair values were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

41

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York

Notes to Financial Statements — Unaudited

The fair values of impaired MPF are generally based on collateral values less estimated selling costs.  Collateral values are generally based on broker price opinions, and any significant adjustments to apply a haircut value on the underlying collateral value would be considered to be an unobservable Level 3 input.  The FHLBNY’s mortgage loan historical loss experience has been insignificant, and expected credit losses are insignificant.  Level 3 inputs, if any, are generally insignificant to the total measurement, and therefore the measurement of most loans may be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.  At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, fair values of credit impaired loans were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy as significant inputs to value collateral were also considered to be observable.  During the six months ended June 30, 2016, certain loans that were delinquent for 180 days or more had been charged-off and loans were recorded at their fair values of $2.0 million on a non-recurring basis as a Level 2 financial instruments as significant inputs to value collateral were considered to be observable.

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

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

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

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

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

Derivative Assets and Liabilities — The FHLBNY’s derivatives (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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

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.  Previously, the FHLBNY used the 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) curve as the relevant benchmark curve for its derivatives and as the discounting rate for these collateralized interest-rate related derivatives.

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

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

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

As a result of these practices and agreements and the FHLBNY’s assessment of any change in its own credit spread, the FHLBNY has concluded that the impact of the credit differential between the FHLBNY and its derivative counterparties and DCO was sufficiently mitigated to an immaterial level that no credit adjustments were deemed necessary to the recorded fair value of Derivative assets and Derivative liabilities in the Statements of Condition at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

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

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

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

Control processes — The FHLBNY employs control processes to validate the fair value of its financial instruments, including those derived from valuation models.  These control processes are designed to ensure that the values used for financial reporting are based on observable inputs wherever possible.  In the event that observable inputs are not available, the control processes are designed to ensure that the valuation approach utilized is appropriate and consistently applied and that the assumptions are reasonable.  These control processes include reviews of the pricing model’s theoretical soundness and appropriateness by specialists with relevant expertise who are independent from the trading desks or personnel who were involved in the design and selection of model inputs.  Additionally, groups that are independent from the trading desk, or personnel involved in the design and selection of model inputs participate in the review and validation of the fair values generated from the valuation model.  The FHLBNY maintains an ongoing review of its valuation models and has a formal model validation policy in addition to procedures for the approval and control of data inputs.  The FHLBNY has concluded that valuation models are performing to industry standards and its valuation capabilities remain robust and dependable.

Fair Value Measurement

The tables below present the fair value of those assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, by level within the fair value hierarchy.  The FHLBNY also measures certain held-to-maturity securities and mortgage loans at fair value on a non-recurring basis when a credit loss is recognized and the carrying value of the asset is adjusted to fair value.  Other real estate owned (ORE) is measured at fair value when the asset’s fair value less costs to sell is lower than its carrying amount.  Generally, non-recurring items have not been material for the FHLBNY.

Fair values of Held-to-Maturity Securities on a Nonrecurring Basis — Two held-to-maturity PLMBS were determined to be OTTI but were not measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2016 as their fair values were above the carrying values.  In accordance with the guidance on recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairment, held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities that are determined to be credit impaired are required to be recorded at their fair values in the Statements of Condition.  For more information, see Note 5.  Held-to-Maturity Securities.

Mortgage loans and “Real estate owned” — Fair values recorded on a non-recurring basis during the period ended on the reporting dates.  During the six months ended June 30, 2016, certain loans that were delinquent for 180 days or more were partially charged-off and the loans were recorded at their fair values of $2.0 million on a non-recurring basis.  Real estate owned (“Foreclosed”) properties, with fair values of $0.4 million was recorded on a non-recurring basis during the same period.

Fair Value Option Disclosures

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

The FHLBNY has elected the FVO for certain advances and certain consolidated obligations that either do not qualify for hedge accounting or may be at risk for not meeting hedge effectiveness requirements, primarily in an effort to mitigate the potential income statement volatility that can arise from economic hedging relationships in which the carrying value of the hedged item is not adjusted for changes in fair value.  Advances have also been elected under the FVO when analysis indicated that changes in the fair values of the advance would be an offset to fair value volatility of debt elected under the FVO.  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 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and the same periods in the prior year, and at December 31, 2015.

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, and intermediate-term fixed-rate advances.  The elections were made primarily as a natural fair value offset to debt elected under the FVO.

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

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

Note 17.                 Commitments and Contingencies.

The FHLBanks have joint and several liability for all the consolidated obligations issued on their behalf.  Accordingly, should one or more of the FHLBanks be unable to repay their participation in the consolidated obligations, each of the other FHLBanks could be called upon to repay all or part of such obligations, as determined or approved by the Finance Agency.  Neither the FHLBNY nor any other FHLBank has ever had to assume or pay the consolidated obligations of another FHLBank.  The FHLBNY does not believe that it will be called upon to pay the consolidated obligations of another FHLBank in the future.  Under the provisions of accounting standards for guarantees, the FHLBNY would have been required to recognize the fair value of the FHLBNY’s joint and several liability for all the consolidated obligations, as discussed above.  However, the FHLBNY considers the joint and several liabilities as similar to a related party guarantee, which meets the scope exception under the accounting standard for guarantees.  Accordingly, the FHLBNY has not recognized the fair value of a liability for its joint and several obligations related to other FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations, which in aggregate were par amounts of $1.0 trillion and $0.9 trillion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Standby letters of credit are executed for a fee on behalf of members to facilitate residential housing, community lending, and members’ asset/liability management or to provide liquidity.  A standby letter of credit is a financing arrangement between the FHLBNY and its member.  Members assume an unconditional obligation to reimburse the FHLBNY for value given by the FHLBNY to the beneficiary under the terms of the standby letter of credit.  The FHLBNY may, in its discretion, permit the member to finance repayment of their obligation by receiving a collateralized advance.

Outstanding standby letters of credit were approximately $12.0 billion and $12.5 billion as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and had original terms of up to 15 years, with a final expiration in 2019.  Standby letters of credit are fully collateralized.  Unearned fees on standby letters of credit are recorded in Other liabilities, and were $1.1 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

MPF Program — Under the MPF program, the FHLBNY was unconditionally obligated to purchase $24.6 million and $14.8 million of mortgage loans at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Commitments were generally for periods not to exceed 45 business days.  Such commitments were recorded as derivatives at their fair values in compliance with the provisions of the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging.  The FHLBNY also has executed conditional agreements with its members in the MPF program to purchase $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion of mortgage loans at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Derivative contracts — When the FHLBNY executes derivatives with major financial institutions that are not eligible to be cleared under the CFTC rules, the FHLBNY and the swap counterparties enter into bilateral collateral agreements.  When the FHLBNY executes derivatives that are eligible to be cleared, the FHLBNY and the FCMs, acting as agents of Derivative Clearing Organization or DCO, would enter into margin agreements.  When counterparties (including the DCOs) are exposed, the FHLBNY posts cash collateral to mitigate the counterparty’s credit exposure; the FHLBNY had posted $635.3 million and $370.5 million in cash with derivative counterparties as pledged collateral at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and these amounts were reported as a deduction to Derivative liabilities.  Further information is provided in Note 15.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

(a)Contractual obligations related to interest payments on long-term debt were calculated by applying the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding long-term debt at June 30, 2016 to the contractual payment obligations on long-term debt for each forecasted period disclosed in the table.  The FHLBNY’s overall weighted average contractual interest rate for long-term debt was 0.95% at June 30, 2016.  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)In the second quarter of 2016, we signed a new lease for our New York City office that will be effective in September 2017.

(c)Includes accounts payable and accrued expenses, Pass-through reserves at the FRB on behalf of certain members of the FHLBNY recorded in Other liabilities.  Also includes projected payment obligations for pension plans.  For more information about these employee retirement plans, see Note 14.  Employee Retirement Plans.

For all other premises, and lease obligations and remote backup site obligations, see Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

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

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

On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (“LBHI”), the parent company of Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. (“LBSF”), filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York. LBSF filed for protection under Chapter 11 on October 3, 2008.  A Chapter 11 plan became effective on March 6, 2012.

At the time of LBHI’s bankruptcy filing, the FHLBNY had 356 interest rate swap and other derivative transactions outstanding with LBSF, with a total notional amount of $16.5 billion.  LBHI guaranteed LBSF’s contractual

obligations to the FHLBNY.  On September 18, 2008, the FHLBNY terminated these transactions as permitted in the wake of LBHI’s bankruptcy filing.  The FHLBNY provided LBSF with a calculation showing that LBSF owed the FHLBNY approximately $65 million as a result of the termination, after giving effect to collateral posted by the FHLBNY with LBSF.  The FHLBNY filed timely proofs of claim as a creditor of LBSF and LBHI in the bankruptcy proceedings.  Given the dispute described below, the FHLBNY fully reserved the LBSF and LBHI receivables, as the timing and amount of any recovery is uncertain.

On July 23, 2010, the FHLBNY received a notice from LBSF claiming that the FHLBNY improperly calculated the termination payment, and that the FHLBNY owed LBSF a substantial amount.  Pursuant to bankruptcy court procedures, the parties mediated their dispute commencing in late 2010 and again in early 2015.  Both mediations concluded without a settlement.

On May 13, 2015, LBHI, on behalf of itself and LBSF, filed a complaint against the FHLBNY in the bankruptcy court, alleging, among other things, that the FHLBNY’s calculation of the termination payment breached its contract with LBSF and violated section 562 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The complaint seeks damages in excess of $150 million, plus pre-judgment contractual interest.  On August 3, 2015, the FHLBNY filed amended proofs of claim reducing the FHLBNY’s claims against LBSF and LBHI, as LBSF’s guarantor, to approximately $45 million.  On September 24, 2015, the bankruptcy court denied the FHLBNY’s motion to dismiss certain of the claims alleged in LBHI’s complaint.  The parties are now engaged in pre-trial proceedings, including the exchange of documents, and trial is currently scheduled to commence in 2017.

The FHLBNY is pursuing its claims against LBSF and LBHI in the LBHI litigation.  The FHLBNY intends to vigorously defend against LBHI’s complaint, which we believe to be without merit.

Note 18.                 Related Party Transactions.

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

Debt Assumptions and Transfers

Debt assumptions — No debt was assumed in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the same period in the prior year from another FHLBank.

Debt repurchased — No debt was repurchased in the six months ended June 30, 2016.  In the six months ended June 30, 2015, the FHLBNY repurchased $80.0 million of consolidated obligation bonds by transferring the debt obligations to another FHLBank at negotiated market rates that exceeded carrying value by $7.8 million.  Cash paid in excess of book cost is charged to earnings in the period when debt is transferred; the transferring bank notifies the Office of Finance on trade date of the change in primary obligor for the transferred debt.

Debt repurchases were in the ordinary course of the FHLBNY’s business.

Advances Sold or Transferred

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

MPF Program

In the MPF program, the FHLBNY may participate to the FHLBank of Chicago portions of its purchases of mortgage loans from its members.  Transactions are participated at market rates.  Since 2004, the FHLBNY has not shared its purchases with the FHLBank of Chicago.  From the inception of the program through 2004, the cumulative share of participation in the FHLBNY’s MPF loans that has remained outstanding was $18.0 million and $20.8 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Fees paid to the FHLBank of Chicago for providing MPF program services were approximately $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the same periods in the prior year.

Mortgage-backed Securities

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

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

Intermediation

From time to time, the FHLBNY acts as an intermediary to purchase derivatives to accommodate its smaller members.  At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, outstanding notional amounts were $126.0 million and $31.0 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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were not significant.  The intermediated derivative transactions with members were fully collateralized.

Loans to Other Federal Home Loan Banks

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the FHLBNY extended overnight loans for a total of $0.6 billion and $0.9 billion to other FHLBanks.  In the same periods in the prior year, the FHLBNY extended overnight loans for a total of $1.8 billion and $2.7 billion.  Generally, loans made to other FHLBanks are uncollateralized.  Interest income from such loans was immaterial in any period in this report.

Borrowings from Other Federal Home Loan Banks

The FHLBNY borrows from other FHLBanks, generally for a period of one day.  In the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and the same periods in the prior year, there were no borrowings from other FHLBanks.

Cash and Due from Banks

Compensating cash balances were held at Citibank.  For more information, see Note 3.  Cash and Due from Banks.

The following tables summarize outstanding balances with related parties at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and transactions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 (in thousands):

Note 19.Segment Information and Concentration.

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

The FHLBNY’s total assets and capital could significantly decrease if one or more large members were to withdraw from membership or decrease business with the FHLBNY.  Members might withdraw or reduce their business as a result of consolidating with an institution that was a member of another FHLBank, or for other reasons.  The FHLBNY has considered the impact of losing one or more large members.  In general, a withdrawing member would be required to repay all indebtedness prior to the redemption of its capital stock.  Under current conditions, the FHLBNY does not expect the loss of a large member to impair its operations, since the FHLBank Act, 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 June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015, and June 30, 2015 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 21, 2016.

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

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

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

2016 Second Quarter Highlights

Results of Operations

Net Income — 2016 second quarter Net income was $91.6 million, and increased by $16.5 million, or 21.9%, compared to the same period in the prior year.

·Net interest income, the principal source of Net Income was $129.0 million in the current year quarter, an increase of $22.7 million, or 21.4%, from the same period in the prior year.

·Other Income (Loss) — Other Income/(loss) reported a gain of $0.2 million in the current year quarter, compared to a gain of $2.8 million in the prior year period.  Other Income/(Loss) is primarily net gains and losses from Derivatives and hedging activities, and net fair value gains and losses recorded on instruments elected under the Fair Value Option.

·Other Expenses were $26.9 million in the current year quarter, compared to $25.2 million in the prior year period.  Other Expenses are Operating expenses, Compensation and benefits, and our share of the operating expenses of the Office of Finance and the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

·AHP assessments allocated from net income were $10.2 million in the current year quarter, compared to $8.4 million in the prior year period.  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 $1.12 per share of capital stock ($4.50 annualized) was paid in the current year quarter, compared to $1.01 ($4.10 annualized) paid in the prior year period.

Financial Condition — June 30, 2016 Compared to December 31, 2015

Total assets increased to $128.7 billion at June 30, 2016 from $123.2 billion at December 31, 2015, an increase of $5.5 billion, or 4.5%.  Advances to members increased to $95.3 billion at June 30, 2016 from $93.9 billion at December 31, 2015, an increase of $1.4 billion, or 1.5%.

Advances — Par balances at June 30, 2016 was $94.4 billion, compared to $93.5 billion at December 31, 2015.  Shorter maturity borrowings by members in the fourth quarter of 2015 were not renewed at their maturities in the first quarter of 2016.

Long-term investment securities — In the AFS portfolio, long-term investments at June 30, 2016 were floating-rate GSE-issued mortgage-backed securities carried on the balance sheet at fair values of $0.7 billion, compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2015.

We also own a grantor trust that invests in highly-liquid mutual funds.  The intent of the grantor trust is to set aside cash to meet current and future payments for a supplemental unfunded pension plan.  Funds are designated as AFS and were carried at fair values of $38.4 million and $32.9 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

54

In the HTM portfolio, long-term investments were predominantly GSE-issued fixed- and floating-rate mortgage-backed securities.  Mortgage-backed securities designated as HTM were carried at $13.7 billion and $13.1 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Private-label issued MBS were only about 2% of the HTM portfolio of mortgage-backed securities.  The HTM portfolio also included housing finance agency bonds, primarily New York and New Jersey, and the investments were carried at amortized cost basis of $818.2 million at June 30, 2016 and $825.1 million at December 31, 2015.

Mortgage loans held-for-portfolio — Mortgage loans were investments in Mortgage Partnership Finance loans (“MPF” or “MPF Program”).  Unpaid principal balances of loans under this program stood at $2.6 billion at June 30, 2016, up a little from the balance at December 31, 2015.

Capital ratios — Our capital position remains strong.  At June 30, 2016, actual risk-based capital was $7.0 billion, compared to required risk-based capital of $695.2 million.  To support $128.7 billion of total assets at June 30, 2016, the required minimum regulatory risk-based capital was $5.1 billion or 4.0% of assets.  Our actual regulatory risk-based capital was $7.0 billion, exceeding required capital by $1.9 billion.  These ratios have remained consistently above the required regulatory ratios through all periods in this report.

Liquidity and Debt — At June 30, 2016, liquid assets included $177.0 million as demand cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, $162.8 million as compensating cash balances at Citibank that could be withdrawn at short notice, $14.7 billion in overnight loans in the federal funds and the repo markets, and $0.7 billion of high credit quality GSE-issued available-for-sale securities that are readily marketable.  Our liquidity position remains strong, and in compliance with all regulatory requirements, and we do not foresee any changes to that position.

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 2016 second quarter was $26.5 billion, well in excess of the required $2.2 billion.

Business Outlook

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

Earnings — We project base net income for 2016 to be lower than 2015.  Thus far in 2016, we have not experienced significant member initiated advance prepayments.  We do expect that certain announced pending mergers may result in balance sheet re-alignments of the merged institutions and drive additional prepayments in 2016.  However, we do not expect the same level of prepayment activity and prepayment fee revenues, experienced in 2015, to occur in the remaining quarters in 2016.  In the remaining two quarters of 2016, we may decide to repurchase additional debt associated with advances that were prepaid in 2015 to re-align our balance sheet liabilities.  The timing and amounts re-purchased would be contingent on conditions in the debt markets and any repurchases would typically result in a charge to net income.  Aside from revenues from advances, interest income from long-term investments in mortgage-backed securities provides significant revenues.  Pricing of MBS remains tight and yields low, and earnings may be adversely impacted if we are unable to acquire investments that would outpace contractual pay downs, and at yields that would not be dilutive to earnings.

Advances — The pace of balance sheet growth experienced in the previous years was driven by the borrowing activities of a few large members.  We cannot predict if advances borrowed by our larger members will be rolled over at maturity or prepaid prior to maturity in 2016.  At June 30, 2016, three members’ advance borrowings exceeded 10.0% of total advances outstanding at that date — Citibank, N.A. 16.5%, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company 14.7%, New York Community Bank/New York Commercial Bank 12.3%.

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

Credit impairment of investment securities — OTTI has been insignificant in 2015 and in the six months ended June 30, 2016.  The aggregate carrying value of our private-label mortgage-backed securities was $258.1 million at June 30, 2016; fair values were $316.9 million, and securities were predominantly in gain positions.  Without continued recovery in the near term such that liquidity continues to expand in the private-label mortgage-backed securities market, or if the credit losses of the underlying collateral within the private-label mortgage-backed securities perform worse than expected, we could face additional credit losses.

Demand for FHLBank debt — Our primary source of funds is the sale of consolidated obligations in the capital markets.  Our ability to obtain funds through the 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

55

are still higher than historical levels, relative to LIBOR.  To the extent we receive sub-optimal funding, our member institutions in turn may experience higher costs for advance borrowings.  To the extent the FHLBanks may not be able to issue long-term debt at economical spreads to the 3-month LIBOR, borrowing choices may also be less economical for our members, potentially affecting their demand for advances.

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 have been in demand by investors, and pricing and yields have been attractive.  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.  See FHLBNY Ratings Table 7.10 for more details about ratings and recent rating actions by Moody’s and S&P.

Results of Operations

The following section provides a comparative discussion of the FHLBNY’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and the same periods in the prior year.  For a discussion of the significant accounting estimates used by the FHLBNY that affect the results of operations, see financial statements, Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in the most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

Net Income

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

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

2016 Second Quarter Compared to 2015 Second Quarter

Net Income — For the FHLBNY, Net income is Net interest income, minus Provisions for credit losses, Other income/(loss), Other Expenses, and Assessments for the FHLBNY’s Affordable Housing Program.

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

2016 second quarter Net income was $91.6 million, and increased by $16.5 million, or 21.9%, compared to the same period in the prior year.

·Net interest income, the principal source of Net Income, was $129.0 million in the current year quarter, an increase of $22.7 million, or 21.4%, from the same period in the prior year.

·Other Income (Loss) — Other Income/(loss) reported a gain of $0.2 million in the current year quarter, compared to a gain of $2.8 million in the prior year period.

·Service fees and Others were primarily correspondent banking fees and fee revenues from financial letters of credit.  Revenues were $3.5 million in the current year period, compared to $2.3 million in the prior year period.

·Financial instruments carried at fair values reported a net valuation loss of $2.9 million in the current year period and in the prior year period.  We have elected to account for certain consolidated obligation debt and advances under the Fair Value Option (“FVO”), and for these instruments, changes in the entire fair values of the instruments are recorded through earnings.

·Derivative and hedging activities reported a net gain of $1.4 million in the current year period, compared to a net gain of $11.3 million in the prior year period.  Primary drivers of gains and losses in the reporting periods are discussed below:

Hedges that qualified for hedge accounting under ASC 815 reported valuation gains of $0.9 million in the current year period, compared to valuation gains of $4.7 million in the prior year period.

Derivatives (interest rate swaps and interest rate caps and floors) that did not qualify for hedge accounting reported a net gain of $0.5 million in the current year quarter, compared to a net gain of $6.6 million in the prior year period.

·Fair value changes on standalone swaps reported a net gain of $5.8 million in the current year period, compared to a net gain of $0.5 million in the prior year period.

59

·Net interest settlements and accruals on standalone swaps are recorded within the derivative activity line item; a net loss of $3.4 million was recorded in the current year period, compared to a net gain of $6.5 million in the prior year period.

·Fair value changes on interest rate caps in economic hedges of certain floating-rate investments reported a net loss of $1.9 million in the current year period, compared to a net loss of $0.4 million in the prior year period.

For more information, see financial statements, Note 15. Derivatives and Hedging Activities.  Also see, Table 1.13 Earnings Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities — By Financial Instrument Type and discussions, in this MD&A.

·Debt repurchases and transfers in the current year period resulted in a $2.0 million charge to earnings, compared to a charge of $7.8 million in the prior year period.

·Other Expenses were $26.9 million in the current year quarter, compared to $25.2 million in the prior year period:

·Operating expenses were $7.7 million in the current year period, up from $6.7 million in the prior year period, primarily due to increase in legal expenses and contractual service agreements.

·Compensation and benefits expenses were $16.4 million in the current year period, up from $15.1 million in the prior year period, primarily due to higher headcount and increases in compensation.

·The expense allocated for our share of the costs to operate the Office of Finance and the Federal Housing Finance Agency was $2.9 million in the current year period, compared to $3.4 million in the prior year period.

·AHP assessments allocated from net income were $10.2 million in the current year quarter, compared to $8.4 million in the prior year period.  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

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.  Net interest income is impacted by a variety of factors: (1) transaction volumes, as measured by average balances of interest earning assets, and by (2) the prevailing balance sheet yields, as measured by yields on earning assets minus yields paid on interest-costing liabilities, net of the impact of the interest income and expense accruals on interest rate derivatives that qualified under hedge accounting rules.  Shareholders’ capital stock and retained earnings are also factors that impact net interest income as they provide interest free capital.  When members prepay advances, prepayment fees are received and reported in interest income, a component of net interest income.

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

Net interest income for the current year quarter was $129.0 million, compared to $106.3 million in the prior year period.  Net interest income 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.  Earning assets averaged $123.4 billion in the current year quarter, an increase of $5.4 billion from the prior year period.  Net interest spread, which is the yield from earning assets minus interest paid to fund earning assets, was 37 basis points in the current year quarter, 3 basis points higher than in the prior year period.  Net interest margin, a measure of margin efficiency is Net interest income divided by average earning assets, was 42 basis points in the current year quarter, compared to 36 basis points in the prior year period.

Net interest income for the year-to-date period ended June 30, was $256.2 million, compared to $225.4 million in the same period in 2015.  Earning assets averaged $123.9 billion in the current year period, an increase of $1.1 billion from the prior year period.  Net interest spread was 38 basis points in the current year period, 3 basis points higher than in the prior year period.

Asset Yields

Interest income in the current year quarter grew to $318.4 million, yielding 103 basis points, compared to $211.3 million at a yield of 72 basis points in the prior year period.  Recorded interest income and yields were net of the impact of interest rate swaps that “synthetically” converted certain fixed-rate advances to LIBOR-indexed, variable-rate advances.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, interest income grew to $617.6 million, yielding 100 basis points in the current year period, compared to $432.7 million at a yield of 71 basis points in the prior year period.

The primary factors driving changes period-over-period are summarized below:

·Interest income from advances, which is the principal source of our revenues, was $210.1 million, and yielded 92 basis points in the current year quarter, compared to $120.0 million in the prior year period, at a yield of 54 basis points.  Interest income from advances in the year-to-date period grew to $401.4 million, yielding 88 basis points in the current year period, compared to $251.2 million at a yield of 54 basis points in the prior year period.  Interest income growth was largely driven by rate related increases in the current year quarter and year-to-date period.  Variable-rate advances (ARCs), which are indexed to LIBOR and re-price at short intervals, benefited from the rising LIBOR in the current year periods.  Short-term advances, which are fixed-rate but re-price at frequent intervals, also benefited in the rising rate environment for our cost of funds.  The rising 3-month LIBOR also benefited fixed-rate swapped advances, which totaled $40.7 billion, or 43.1% of the par amounts of advances outstanding at June 30, 2016.  The fixed-rate coupons on swapped fixed-rate advances are synthetically converted by the execution of interest rate swaps to LIBOR indexed variable-rate yields.  In the current year periods the 3-month LIBOR was up significantly, contributing to improved yields.

61

·Interest income from federal funds and repurchase agreements in the current year quarter grew to $12.2 million, yielding 37 basis points, benefitting from higher overnight rates for interbank lending and higher invested balances.  The comparable interest income in the prior year period was $2.9 million at a yield of 11 basis points.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, interest income from federal funds and repurchase agreements was $24.7 million, yielding 36 basis points in current year period, compared to $6.0 million, yielding 10 basis points in the prior year period.

·Interest income from investment securities, fixed- and floating-rate securities, was $73.9 million at a blended yield of 194 basis points in the current year quarter, compared to $68.1 million at a blended yield of 187 basis points in the prior year period.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, interest income from investment securities was $146.8 million at a blended yield of 195 basis points in the current year-to-date period, compared to $135.6 at a blended yield of 189 basis points in the prior year period.  Increases in interest income were driven by higher invested balances in the floating-rate HTM portfolio of GSE-issued mortgage-backed securities, and increased yields from the higher prevailing LIBOR, which is the primary index on the floating-rate securities in our HTM and AFS investment portfolios.

·Interest income from mortgage loans was $21.6 million at a yield of 333 basis points in the current year quarter, compared to $20.0 million at a yield of 339 basis points in the prior year period.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, interest income from mortgage loans was $43.6 million at a yield of 340 basis points in the current year period, compared to $39.3 million at a yield of 348 basis points prior year period.

Consolidated Obligation debt funding costs:

·Consolidated obligation bonds (“CO bonds” or bonds) — Interest expense on CO bonds, fixed- and floating-rate, was $139.1 million at a blended funding cost of 76 basis points in the current year quarter, compared to $81.8 million at a funding cost of 50 basis points in the prior year period.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, interest expense was $261.4 million at a funding cost of 73 basis points in the year-to-date period in the current year, up from 47 basis points in the prior year period.  Reported funding costs were net of the fair value hedge impact of interest rate swaps that “synthetically” converted a significant percentage of fixed-rate bonds to sub-LIBOR yields.  Interest costs have increased in the current year periods due to the higher rate environment for CO bonds.  In a rising rate environment, maturing CO bonds were replaced by higher costing bonds.  Floating-rate CO bonds, which constituted a significant percentage of all bonds, averaged $29.0 billion in the current year quarter, up from $6.5 billion the prior year period.  The cost of floating-rate CO bonds rose to 54 basis points in the current year quarter in line with the rising cost of funds, compared to 17 basis points in prior year period.  The rising 3-month LIBOR was also a factor on increased funding costs on fixed-rate swapped CO bonds, which totaled $25.0 billion, or 35.7% of the par amounts of CO bonds outstanding at June 30, 2016.  The fixed-rate coupons on swapped fixed-rate CO bonds are synthetically converted (by the execution of interest rate swaps) to LIBOR indexed funding cost.  In the current year periods the 3-month LIBOR was significantly higher, driving funding costs higher.

·Consolidated obligation discount notes (“CO discount notes” or discount notes) — Interest expense on discount notes was $48.9 million at a funding cost of 48 basis points in the current year quarter, compared to $22.9 million at a cost of 21 basis points in the prior year period.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, interest expense was $97.4 million at a funding cost of 45 basis points, up from $46.0 million at a funding cost of 20 basis points in the prior year period.  While interest expense has risen in a rising rate environment in the current year periods, funding costs on CO discount notes have been relatively favorable, and spreads to LIBOR have widened.  Investor demand has favorably impacted yields and pricing of CO discount notes, as money market funds are attempting to bolster liquidity.  Reported yields on discount note funding were net of the cash flow hedge impact of interest rate swaps that “synthetically” converted the 90-day variability of $1.6 billion of discount notes to fixed-rate cash flows.

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 (“deployed capital”) to fund short-term investment assets that yield money market rates.  The most significant element of deployed capital is Capital stock, which increases or decreases in parallel with the volume of advances borrowed by members.  Retained earnings balance is another component of deployed capital.  Average capital was $6.8 billion in the current year quarter compared to $6.3 billion in the prior year period; the average capital in the year-to-date period ended June 30, was $6.8 billion in 2016 and $6.4 billion in 2015.  In the past several years, opportunities for investing in short-term assets that met our risk/reward preferences had been limited, with a tradeoff between maintaining liquidity at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or investing at the low prevailing overnight rates at financial institutions.  In the current year periods, market yields for overnight investments have improved.  For more information about factors that impact Interest income and Interest expense, see Table 1.3 and discussions thereto.  Also, see Table 1.5 Spread and Yield Analysis, and Table 1.6 Rate and Volume Analysis.

GAAP Compared to Economic — 2016 Second Quarter Compared to 2015 Second Quarter, and Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

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

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

Economic net interest income	$	248,332		0.41	%	0.37	%	$	236,859	0.39	%	0.37	%

(a)Viewed on an economic basis, interest income or expense generated on standalone interest rate swaps would be considered as a measure of net interest income.  Under GAAP, such interest income or expense is a measure of derivative and hedging gains and losses.  Standalone interest rate swaps in economic hedges were associated with — (1) Basis swaps that hedged floating-rate consolidated obligation debt indexed to the 1-month LIBOR in a strategy that converted floating-rate debt indexed to the 1-month LIBOR to the 3-month LIBOR cash flows (in a pay 3-month LIBOR, receive 1-month LIBOR interest rate exchange swap transaction), and (2) Swaps that hedged instruments elected under the FVO.  If viewed on an economic basis, such interest rate swaps would have reduced net interest income by $3.4 million and $7.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with an increase in interest income by $6.5 million and $11.5 million in the same periods in the prior year.

From an economic perspective, interest payments and receipts are an integral part of the FHLBNY’s business model that executes interest rate swap hedges, converting fixed-rate exposures to LIBOR exposures, or creating fixed-rate cash flows; the execution of the business model and the strategy should be considered as a relevant measure of our interest margin performance, rather than as a derivative and hedging gain.  Yields and spreads are annualized.  Table 1.4 above provides useful information to track the impact on our economic net interest margin.

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

Interest Income — 2016 Second Quarter Compared to 2015 Second Quarter, and Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

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

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

(a)Interest income from Advances — Interest income from advances in qualifying hedging relationships is recorded net of interest accruals on the interest swaps hedging the advances.  As a result, reported interest income would not necessarily be the same for Advances if not hedged.  Table 1.8 summarizes the impact of interest rate swaps on advance interest income.  For hedged fixed-rate advances, interest income is synthetically converted to a LIBOR indexed yield.  Interest income from Advances also includes prepayment fees received from members who prepay Advances ahead of their contractual maturities.

Interest income from advances increased quarter-over-quarter in the current year by $90.2 million, or 75.2%.  Increase in business volume was not a significant factor.  Average balances increased by $2.3 billion in the current year quarter, contributing $3.2 million in interest income.  Yields have increased for new issuances and for advances that have re-priced in the current year quarter due to the higher interest rate environment, and contributed $87.0 million in the current year quarter.  Weighted average yield on the advance portfolio, net of the impact of interest rate swap, was 92 basis points in the current year period, compared to 54 basis points in the prior year period.  Fixed-rate swapped advances have benefited from the rising 3-month LIBOR.  Fixed-rate advances are swapped to the 3-month LIBOR and the fixed coupons are synthetically converted to a variable-rate LIBOR indexed coupon.  In a rising LIBOR environment, swapped advances re-priced to higher yields.  Variable-rate advances indexed to LIBOR also yielded higher interest income in a rising LIBOR environment.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, interest income from advances increased by $150.3 million, or 59.8% in the current year period.  Higher yields contributed $154.8 million in interest income primarily driven by the higher rate environment in the current year-to-date period.  Weighted average yield on a swapped basis was 88 basis points in the current year period, compared to 54 basis points in the prior year period.  The impact of a lower volume of business in the year-to-date period in the current year was not significant.  Average advance balances decreased by $1.6 billion in the current year period resulting in a decline of $4.5 million in interest income.

·Longer term fixed-rate advances (term is based on original maturity) remained a significant component of the advance portfolio, $46.0 billion in average outstanding balances in the current year quarter, yielding 182 basis points on an un-swapped basis, compared to $47.8 billion, yielding 248 basis points in the prior year period.  Typically the longer-term fixed-rate advances are swapped to variable rate, indexed to the 3-month LIBOR.  On a swapped basis, the long-term fixed-rate portfolio yielded about 96 basis points in the current year quarter, compared to about 55 basis points in the prior year period.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, long- term fixed-rate advances were $45.9 billion in average outstanding balances in 2016, yielding 190 basis points on an un-swapped basis, compared to $47.6 billion in average balances in 2015 and yielded 250 basis points.  On a swapped basis, the yield was 91 basis points in the year-to-date period in the current year, compared to 54 basis points in the prior year period.

Yield decline, on an unswapped basis, period-over-period in 2016 was primarily due to significant amounts of long-term advances that had been modified or prepaid and replaced by lower yielding advances in the fourth quarter of 2015.  The changes did not impact the first and second quarters of 2015, but impacted yields in the two quarters in 2016.

·Adjustable-rate advances or ARC advances represented 30.5% of our advance portfolio (par amount outstanding was $28.8 billion) at June 30, 2016.  ARCs yielded 90 basis points in the current year quarter, up from 50 basis points in the prior year period.  ARCs, which are indexed to LIBOR, benefited from the higher LIBOR in the current year quarter.  The average 3-month LIBOR was 64 basis points in the current year period, up from 28 basis points in the prior year period.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, ARCs yielded 85 basis points in 2016, up from 48 basis points in the prior year period.  The average 3-month LIBOR in the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 63 basis points in 2016, up from 27 basis points in the prior year period.

·Short-term fixed-rate Advances, which can have maturities from 2-days up to one year, represented 10.7% ($10.1 billion par) of the advance portfolio at June 30, 2016; short-term fixed-rate advances also benefited from the general increase in overnight and short-term rates in the current year period, as maturing advances were replaced by higher yielding advances.

(b)Interest bearing deposits — Represents interest income earned on cash posted as collateral and margins to derivative counterparties.  Interest income was $0.5 million in the current year quarter, compared to $0.4 million in the prior year period.  The increase was consistent with higher overnight federal funds effective rates, which is the earning index for cash collateral and margins.  Average yield was 42 basis points in the current year quarter, compared to 14 basis points in the prior year period.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, interest income was $1.0 million in the current year period, compared to $0.7 million in the prior year period.  Average yield was 41 basis points in the current year-to-date period, compared to 13 basis points in the prior year period.  Average cash balances were lower in the current year periods, compared to prior year periods as we continue to execute derivatives as “clearable trades” through central clearing, enabling us to net positive and negative derivative contracts through a Derivative Clearing Organization and post lower cash balances.

(c)Interest income from investments in federal funds and other overnight funds — Interest income from investments in federal funds sold and other overnight investments was $12.2 million in the current year quarter, compared to $2.9 million in the prior year period.  The increase was driven by the higher level of federal funds effective rates in the current year quarter.  Weighted average yield from overnight investments was 37 basis points in the current year quarter, up from 11 basis points in the prior year period.  Interest income grew also due to increase in daily overnight investments.  Average invested balance was $13.3 billion in the current year quarter, compared to $10.7 billion in the prior year period.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, interest income from investments in federal funds

66

sold and other overnight investments was $24.7 million in the current year period, compared to $6.0 million in the prior year period.  Weighted average yield from overnight investments was 36 basis points in the current year period, compared to 10 basis points in the prior year period.  The increase was consistent with higher overnight market rates.  Average invested balance grew to $13.9 billion in the current year period, compared to $11.6 billion in the prior year period.

(d)Interest income from investment securities — Available-for-sale and Held-to-maturity securities — Long-term investments were primarily GSE- issued mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), a small portfolio of private label MBS, a portfolio of housing finance agency bonds, and bond and equity funds in a Grantor trust owned by the FHLBNY.

Pricing and yields have improved somewhat in the current year period after a sustained period in prior years during which MBS yields were low and spreads to LIBOR narrow.  Tight supply of securities has been the primary cause, and market conditions limited acquisitions of MBS to only when pricing and yields met our risk/return criteria.  Although spread compression has widened in the current year period for floating rate GSE-issued CMBS, pricing remains at a premium that may not meet our risk/reward framework.

Long-term investment securities were designated as available-for-sale (“AFS”) or held-to-maturity (“HTM”).

AFS portfolio — Mortgage-backed securities

MBS in the AFS portfolio were floating-rate GSE issued securities, which earned $2.4 million in the current year quarter, compared to $2.3 million in the prior year period.  The small increase period-over-period has been driven largely by higher LIBOR, the base index for the floating-rate securities.  Floating-rate MBS are indexed to short-term LIBOR, typically 1-month LIBOR, which had been at record lows in the earlier quarters of 2015.  The 1-month LIBOR averaged 44 basis points in the current year quarter.  In contrast, the average 1-month LIBOR was 18 basis points in the prior year period.  The all-in-yield (LIBOR plus the margin) earned from floating-rate MBS was 113 basis points in the current year quarter, compared to 83 basis points in the prior year period.  The favorable impact of the higher LIBOR levels in the current year period was partly offset by the continued decline of the portfolio.  The favorable impact of higher LIBOR was partly offset by a decline in volume in the current year quarter.  Average principal balance was $863.6 million in the current year quarter, compared to $1.1 billion in the prior year period.

On a year-to-date basis at June 30, AFS portfolio earned $4.7 million in the current year, compared to $4.3 million in the prior year period.  The all-in-yield earned from floating-rate MBS was 106 basis points in the current year period, compared to 76 basis points in the prior year period.  Average principal balance declined to $895.7 million in the current year period from $1.1 billion in the prior year period.

HTM portfolios - Mortgage-backed securities (fixed and floating-rate securities), and Housing finance agency bonds

Fixed-rate MBS in the HTM portfolio earned $53.1 million in the current year quarter, compared to $54.3 million in the prior year period.  Yields discussed do not include the impact of credit and non-credit OTTI and accretable yield under GAAP.  We believe economic yield may enhance readers’ understanding of market conditions.  Yields have been declining as vintage higher coupon fixed-rate MBS have paid down.  Market pricing for new issuances of highly-rated GSE securities generally remains tight and yields low.  When new securities were acquired to replace paydowns, tight pricing adversely impacted yields and revenues.

The yield on fixed-rate MBS was 299 basis points in the current year quarter, compared to 305 basis points in the prior year period.  Volume, as measured by average outstanding principal balance, was $7.1 billion in the current year quarter, compared to $7.2 billion in the prior year period, with acquisitions just keeping pace with paydowns.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, fixed-rate MBS in the HTM portfolio earned $107.8 million in the current year period, almost unchanged compared to $108.8 million in the prior year period.  The overall yield on fixed-rate MBS was 303 basis points in the current year period, compared to 308 basis points in the prior year period.  Average outstanding principal balance was $7.2 billion in the current year period, slightly higher compared to the prior year period.  The impact of a substantially unchanged volume of investment securities and a declining portfolio of high-yielding vintage securities explain the gradual decline in interest income.

Floating-rate MBS in the HTM portfolio earned $15.4 million in the current year quarter, compared to $9.1 million in the prior year period.  Floating-rate MBS are indexed typically to the 1-month LIBOR.  Growth in revenue was driven by an increase in the portfolio, and due to the higher LIBOR level in the current year quarter, as the portfolio re-priced to higher yields.  Average principal balance was $6.5 billion, yielding 95 basis points in the current year quarter, compared to average principal balance of $5.5 billion that yielded 67 basis points in the prior year period.  Market yields for newly issued floating-rate CMBS have improved period-over-period, and acquisitions in the current quarter were at significantly better margins than those acquired in the prior year period.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, floating-rate MBS in the HTM portfolio earned $28.6 million in the current year period, compared to $17.8 million in the prior year period.  Average principal balance was $6.2 billion, yielding 92 basis points in the current year period, compared to average principal balance of $5.3 billion that yielded 67 basis points in the prior year period.

Housing finance agency bonds

Interest income from housing finance agency bonds (“HFA bonds”) was $2.2 million in the current year quarter, compared to $1.6 million in the prior year period.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, interest income from HFA bonds was $4.2 million in the current year period, compared to $3.1 million in the prior year period.  HFA bonds are primarily floating-rate securities indexed to LIBOR, and yields benefited from the higher LIBOR as the bonds re-priced to higher yields.  Invested balance was $818.2 million at June 30, 2016, compared to $833.9 million at June 30, 2015 and $825.1 million at December 31, 2015.

(e)Interest income from mortgage loans — Interest income from MPF loans was $21.6 million in the current year quarter, up from $20.0 million in the prior year period.  Average outstanding balances grew to $2.6 billion in the current year period, up from $2.4 billion in the prior year period.  Yield on the portfolio declined in the current year quarter, primarily due to competitive pricing.  Yield was 335 basis points in the current year period, compared to 342 basis points in the prior year period.

On a year-to-date basis at June 30, interest income from MPF loans was $43.6 million in the current year period, up from $39.3 million in the prior year period.  Average outstanding balances grew to $2.6 billion in the current year period, up from $2.3 billion in the prior year period.  Yield on the portfolio was 341 basis points in the current year period, compared to 350 basis points in the prior year period.

Impact of Hedging on Interest Income from Advances — 2016 Second Quarter Compared to 2015 Second Quarter, and Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

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):

Advance Interest Income

Total Advance interest income reported	$	210,149		$	119,953		$	401,423		$	251,151

(a)Certain fixed-rate advances are hedged by the execution of interest rate swaps that created synthetic floaters (Fair value hedge).  The cash flows exchanged resulted in net unfavorable interest charges to advance income of $105.7 million and $238.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared with $235.3 million and $472.5 million in the same periods in the prior year.  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, which declines, as it did in the current year period, when the pay and receive cash flows converge.  The higher LIBOR level that we received in the current year period was one factor that narrowed the adjustment.  Certain long-term high fixed coupon swaps had been modified to lower fixed-rate coupons in the second half of 2015 in parallel with advance modifications.  Certain long-term high coupon swaps were terminated in the fourth quarter of 2015 in parallel with advance prepayments.  The spread narrowed between the fixed-rate coupon payments and the 3-month LIBOR received on the modified swaps or the swaps executed to hedge new advances.

Interest Expense — 2016 Second Quarter Compared to 2015 Second Quarter, and Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

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

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

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

(a)Interest expense on consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes

The mix between the use of discount notes and the use of consolidated fixed-rate bonds to fund assets is an asset/liability management consideration that will impact period-over-period changes in recorded interest expense.  Discount note yields are lower relative to bonds, as discount notes are short-term funding instruments; other factors considered would include the prevailing funding environment, the liquidity needs of members, and the maturity and duration profiles of earning assets.  That mix, the utilization ratio of discount notes and bonds, was stable period-over-period.

Consolidated bonds funded 59.6% of average earning assets in the current year quarter, compared to 55.7% in the prior year period.  Consolidated discount notes funded 33.5% of average earning assets in the current year quarter, compared to 36.9% in the prior year period.  The mix between the use of consolidated obligation fixed-rate bonds and floating-rate bonds is another asset/liability consideration that will impact the period-over-period changes in recorded interest expense.  The level of pricing of consolidated obligation debt will determine changes in funding costs and interest expense, and for swapped debt, period-over-period changes in LIBOR as well as the spread between debt yields and prevailing LIBOR, will have an impact on funding costs.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, consolidated bonds funded 58.3% of average earning assets in the current year period, compared to 55.7% in the prior year period.  Consolidated discount notes funded 34.8% of average earning assets in the current year period, compared to 36.9% in the prior year period.

Consolidated obligation bonds (“CO bonds” or “bonds”) — Aggregate interest expense of fixed- and floating-rate CO bonds in the current year quarter was $139.1 million at a funding yield of 76 basis points, compared to $81.8 million in the prior year period at a funding yield of 50 basis points.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, aggregate interest expense of CO bonds in the current year period was $261.4 million at a funding yield of 73 basis points, compared to $160.5 million at a funding yield of 47 basis points in the prior year period.  The

68

reported expenses and funding yields are net of the impact of hedging fixed-rate CO bonds to create synthetic LIBOR indexed interest expense.

Fixed-rate bonds — Interest expense was $100.2 million at a funding yield of 92 basis points in the current year quarter, compared to $79.0 million at a funding yield of 55 basis points in the prior year period.  Interest expense and funding yields were the blended cost of swapped and unswapped fixed-rate bonds.  By way of comparison, the weighted average funding yield of swapped fixed-rate bonds was about 58 basis points in the current year quarter, compared to 16 basis points in the prior year period.  Higher LIBOR has tended to drive up the cost of bonds on a swapped basis as we pay LIBOR indexed cash flows and in exchange we receive fixed-rate cash flows. The sub-LIBOR spread compression on a swapped basis for short and medium-term bonds in the current year period was another factor that drove up funding yields.  Additionally, the spread to LIBOR on longer maturity bonds have remained unfavorable, driving up funding yields when long term funding is needed. On a swapped basis, the cost of funding will tend to be in line with fluctuations in the LIBOR yield curve, as the fixed-rate bonds are synthetically converted to a LIBOR indexed yield.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, interest expense (swapped and unswapped) was $195.5 million at a funding yield of 86 basis points in the current year period, compared to $155.0 million at a funding yield of 52 basis points in the prior year period.

Floating-rate bonds — Interest expense was $38.9 million in the current year quarter, compared to $2.8 million in the prior year period.  Increase in interest expense was primarily driven by increased utilization of floating-rate bonds in the current year period.  Floating-rate bonds funded 23.5% of average earning assets in the current year quarter, compared to 5.5% in the prior year period.  The mix between the use of fixed-rate bonds and floating-rate bonds is an asset/liability management consideration, partly determined by the interest rate profile of assets that are being funded, and partly by the pricing of variable-rate debt, relative to alternative funding vehicles, such as discount notes or callable bonds with short lock-out periods to first call.  Higher LIBOR in the current year quarter was also a factor driving up the cost of floating-rate funding, which was indexed to LIBOR.  Weighted average funding cost of floating-rate CO bonds was 54 basis points in the current year quarter, compared to 17 basis points in the prior year period.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, interest expense was $65.9 million in the current year period, compared to $5.5 million in the prior year period.  Floating rate bonds funded 21.2% of average earning assets in the current year period, compared to 5.7% in the prior year period. Weighted average funding cost was 50 basis points in the current year period, compared to 16 basis points in the prior year period, reflective of the rising LIBOR in the current year period.

Consolidated obligation discount notes — As discount notes are short term funding, one year or less.  Discount notes are typically issued at a small premium over equivalent maturity U.S. Treasury bills.  Discount notes do not make interest payments; instead the note is matured at a par value below the issuance price, and the difference between issuance price and par is used to “accrete” to par and to calculate the yield.  Discount note yields have been favorable in the current year quarter with money market investor demand driving yields down.  Sub-LIBOR spreads widened that potentially reduced funding cost when the debt was swapped to a LIBOR basis, or funded a LIBOR indexed asset.  These favorable factors partly offset the unfavorable impact of the general increase in rates in the current year periods.

Interest expense was $48.9 million in the current year quarter, compared to $22.9 million in the prior year period.  Interest expense included the impact of interest rate swaps in a cash flow hedge program in which $1.6 billion of discount notes are hedged that synthetically converts the variability of cash flows of discount notes to fixed-rate cash flows.  Long-term fixed-rate payments are significantly higher than the 3-month LIBOR that we receive. As a result, the strategy increases the overall cost of the discount notes, but assures us of achieving a predictable long-term cost of funds, and locking in future margins.  The synthetic conversion to fixed-rate cash flows resulted in increased interest expense of $8.8 million in the current year quarter and $8.7 million in the prior year period.  On a swapped basis, the weighted average cost was 48 basis points in the current year quarter, compared to 21 basis points in the prior year period.  On an un-swapped basis, the yield paid on consolidated obligation discount notes was 39 basis points in the current year quarter, up from 13 basis points in the prior year period.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, interest expense was $97.4 million in the current year period, compared to $46.0 million in the prior year.  The synthetic conversion to fixed-rate cash flows resulted in increased cost of $18.0 million in the current year period and $17.3 million in the prior year period.  On a swapped basis, the weighted average cost was 45 basis points in the current year period, compared to 20 basis points in the prior year period.  On an un-swapped basis, the yield paid on consolidated obligation discount notes was 37 basis points in the current year period, up from 13 basis points in the prior year period.

(b)Interest expense on deposits — The FHLBNY takes deposits from members as a service to its members, and such deposits are not a significant source of funds.  Interest expense on deposits was $0.8 million in the current year quarter, compared to $0.1 million in the prior year period.  Interest expense increased in the current year quarter, primarily due to increases in the overnight deposit rates paid to members on their deposits.  Average deposit balances increased in the current year quarter to $1.5 billion, compared to $1.1 billion in the prior year period.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, interest expense was $1.3 million in the current year period, compared to $0.2 million in the prior year period, driven primarily by higher rates on deposits.  Average deposit balance was $1.4 billion in the current year period, compared to $1.3 billion in the prior year period.

(c)Mandatorily redeemable capital stock — Holders of mandatorily redeemable capital stock are paid dividends at the same rate as all member stockholders.  The dividend payments are classified as interest payments to conform to accounting rules with respect to the classification of such dividends.  Reported interest expense has increased period-over-period, in line with increases in the dividend rate paid on capital stock held by non-members, and increases in the average balances of capital stock held by non-members.  For more information about non-member stock, see Note 12.

(d)Cash collateral and other borrowings — Represents interest paid on cash collateral received from swap counterparties.  Period-over-period increases in the current year periods were due to increases in the overnight federal funds effective rates, the primary index associated with the deposit rates.

Impact of Hedging on Interest Expense on Debt — 2016 Second Quarter Compared to 2015 Second Quarter, and Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

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

69

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

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

(a)Certain fixed-rate bonds are hedged by interest rate swaps that created synthetic floating-rate bonds (Fair value hedge).  Future issuances of certain discount note issuances are hedged by long-term interest rate swaps that created synthetic fixed-rate future cash flows (Cash flow hedge).  The cash flows exchanged resulted in net favorable interest accruals of $15.9 million and $36.5 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with $47.3 million and $100.6 million in the same periods in the prior year.  A fair value hedge of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes is accomplished by the execution of interest rate swaps in which we receive fixed-rate cash flows, and pay LIBOR-indexed variable cash flows.  A cash flow hedge of 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 difference between the receive and pay cash exchanges determines the net interest adjustments, which declines, as it did in the current year period, when the pay and receive cash flows converge The higher LIBOR level that we have paid in the current year periods was a primary factor that narrowed the adjustment. The net cash flows for the FHLBNY have been generally favorable in the periods in this report, reducing the cost of funding to a LIBOR basis.  If in future periods, LIBOR rises to levels above the fixed-rate contracts, the net cash flows (exchanged between the swap counterparty and the FHLBNY) would become unfavorable.

Allowance for Credit Losses — 2016 Second Quarter Compared to 2015 Second Quarter, and Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

·Mortgage loans held-for-portfolio — Provision for credit allowances was $0.4 million in the second quarters of 2016 and 2015.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, 2016, the provision was $1.5 million, higher than the prior year period by $0.9 million.  The increase in the provision in the year-to-date period in the current year period resulted from a refinement and adoption of the loan loss migration methodology in the first quarter of 2016.

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.  We perform a loss migration analysis to perform collective impairment analysis of loans that are not individually evaluated for impairment.  FHA/VA (Insured mortgage loans) guaranteed loans were evaluated collectively for impairment based on the credit worthiness of the PFI, and no allowance was deemed necessary.

The low amounts of provisions for credit allowances 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 stability in home prices in our residential loan markets.  For more information, see financial statements Note 8 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.

(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.  Fees earned from commitments and financial letters of credit, a primary component of Service fees, were $2.7 million and $5.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $2.3 million and $4.4 million in the same periods in the prior year.

(b)Instruments held at fair value under the Fair Value Option — Changes in fair values of consolidated obligation debt (bonds and discount notes) and Advances elected under the FVO reported net fair value losses of $2.9 million and $12.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to net losses of $2.9 million and $6.0 million in the same periods in the prior year.  Fluctuations in fair values are impacted by changes in the notional amounts of debt and advances elected under the FVO, the remaining duration to maturity, and changes in the term structure of the pricing curve.  Advances elected under the FVO reported gains, offset by losses reported on debt elected under the FVO, as discussed below. For more information, also see financial statements, FVO disclosures in Note 16. Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

FVO Advances — Changes in fair values of advances elected under the FVO resulted in a net loss of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to a net loss of $1.1 million in the same period in the prior year.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, 2016, fair value gains of $8.3 million were recorded in the 2016 period, compared to fair value gains of $3.3 million in the same period in the prior year.  As FVO Advances are generally medium-term with maturities of two years or less, inter-period volatility is typical.  Advances that are issued in a prior year period, mature (or approach maturity) in the current year period and previously recorded unrealized fair value gains and losses tend to reverse to zero.

Changes in fair values have not been significant as the adjustable rate Advances (ARC advances elected under the FVO) re-priced quarterly to the then prevailing LIBOR and fair values remain close to par.  Also, fair values of medium and short-term fixed-rate advances (elected under the FVO) also remained close to par.  Generally, the volume of advances, as measured by notional amounts designated under the FVO, can have an impact on fair values.  Notional amounts of Advances elected under the FVO were $7.9 billion at June 30, 2016 and $7.3 billion at June 30, 2015.  Changes to the pricing curve have not been a significant factor, as the Advance pricing curve has remained well correlated to the LIBOR curve, which is the index for the ARC coupon; the changes are also well correlated to the CO curve, which is the principal basis for pricing the fixed-rate advances.

FVO Bonds — Changes in fair values of bonds elected under the FVO resulted in a net loss of $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to a net loss of $0.1 million in the same period in the prior year.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, 2016, fair value changes reported a net loss of $11.9 million in the current year period, primarily due to the reversal of previously recorded unrealized fair value gains during the period in line with maturing bonds that were not replaced.  Notional amounts of FVO bonds were $3.6 billion at June 30, 2016, compared to $13.3 billion at December 31, 2015.  In the year-to-date period in the prior year, changes in fair values resulted in a net loss of $4.5 million.  FVO bonds were fixed-rate with original maturities that were generally two years or less.  As bonds matured in a period, unrealized fair value gains and losses recorded in a previous period reversed to zero.  The decline in the CO pricing curve at June 30, 2016 also contributed to fair value losses.  In the prior year periods, shifts in the CO pricing curve were generally not significant.

FVO Discount notes — Changes in fair values of discount notes elected under the FVO reported a net loss of $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million in the same period in the prior year.  On a year-to-date basis at June 30, 2016, fair value changes reported a net loss of $8.4 million, primarily due to the reversal of previously recorded unrealized fair value gains during the period.  In the prior year period, changes in fair values reported a net loss of $4.7 million.   Inter-period fluctuations in fair value are typical as discount notes mature within a year of issuance.  Discount notes issued in a quarter are likely to mature in subsequent quarters, causing previously recorded unrealized gains and losses to reverse to zero.  Notional amounts of discount notes elected under the FVO were $10.7 billion at June 30, 2016, $12.5 billion at December 31, 2015 and $14.7 billion at June 30, 2015.  The decline in the discount note yield curve at June 30, 2016 also contributed to fair value losses.  In the prior year period, shifts in the discount note pricing curve have generally not been significant.

(c)Net impairment losses recognized in earnings on held-to-maturity securities — Cash flow analyses in the periods in this report identified immaterial deterioration in the performance parameters of a previously impaired private-label MBS.

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

(e)Earnings Impact of Debt repurchased or transferred — Par amounts of $102.0 million of CO bonds were repurchased or transferred at a loss of $2.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016.  In the six months ended June 30, 2016, $109.9 million of CO bonds were repurchased or transferred at a loss of $2.1 million.  Par amounts of $80.0 million of CO bonds were repurchased or transferred in the three months ended June 30, 2015 at a loss of $7.8 million.  Debt repurchased or transferred is executed at negotiated market rates.  See Table 1.12 for more information.

Earnings Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities — 2016 Second Quarter Compared to 2015 Second Quarter, and Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2015

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.  For more information about qualifying Fair Value and Cash Flow hedges of advances and debt, see Derivative Hedging Strategies in Tables 9.1 – 9.3.

(a)Yield adjustments — The impact of amortization/accretion and interest accruals on hedging activities — Previously recorded hedge valuation basis on advances and debt that are no longer in a hedging relationship are amortized and recorded as a yield adjustment in the Statements of income in the same interest income or expense line as the hedged items.  Interest accrual on a swap in a qualifying hedge relationship is also recorded as a yield adjustment in the Statements of income as an Interest income or Interest expense.  Together, their impact due to hedging activities, specifically the impact of swap interest accruals on net interest margin and on Net interest income was significant.  In the current year quarter, net swap accruals and amortization resulted in an aggregate expense against Net interest income of $89.2 million, compared to $187.7 million in the prior year period.  In the year-to-date period ended June 30, the impact was an expense of $200.5 million in the current year period, compared to an expense of $371.0 million in the prior year period.  Interest is accrued on interest rate swaps that generally hedged and synthetically converted fixed-rate cash flows of Advances and Consolidated obligation debt to floating-rate.  In certain instances, we have converted the variability of forecasted discount note cash flows to fixed-rate cash flows by the execution of cash flow hedges.

While the impact of the interest rate exchanges on periodic earnings was unfavorable (an expense), the execution of the interest rate swap contracts achieved our interest rate risk management strategies, primarily to mitigate the risk arising from fixed-rate cash flows from fixed-rate advances borrowed by our members and the issuances of fixed-rate debt to finance our lending activities, or in the cash flow hedge to create a predictable fixed-rate cash flow and lock-in margin.  Additional information is provided in this MD&A in Table 1.3 Net Interest Adjustments from Hedge Qualifying Interest-Rate Swaps, Table 1.8 Impact of Interest Rate Swaps on Interest Income Earned from Advances, and Table 1.10 Impact of Interest Rate Swaps on Consolidated Obligations Interest Expense.

(b)Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities recorded in Other income — The primary components were (a) fair value changes of derivatives in qualifying fair value hedges offset by fair value changes of hedged items, (b) the ineffective portion of fair value changes of derivative in cash flow hedging relationships, and (c) fair value changes of standalone derivatives that were in economic hedges, and (d) net interest accruals on the standalone derivatives.

·Standalone derivatives were primarily interest rate swaps designated in economic hedges of advances and debt elected under the FVO and interest rate caps in economic hedges of capped investments.  Standalone derivatives are marked to their fair values without the offset of fair value changes of advances and debt under the FVO or in another economic hedge.  Fair value changes of instruments elected under the FVO are marked to their fair values and recorded separately in Other income in the line item Instruments held at fair value.  Assets and liabilities that were economically hedged, other than those elected under the FVO, were not eligible, under accounting rules, to be marked to their fair values.

·Derivatives are marked to their fair values.  If the hedge qualifies under ASC 815, an offsetting change in the fair values of the hedged advance and debt is also recorded in Other income as a component of derivatives and hedging activities.  The difference between fair value changes between the derivative and the hedged instruments is referred to as “the hedge ineffectiveness”.

Derivatives and hedging activities reported net fair value gains of $1.4 million and $2.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to net fair value gains of $11.3 million and $17.4 million in the same periods in the prior year.

Primary drivers are discussed below:

Qualifying hedging

·Fair value gains and losses on Fair value hedges — Hedge ineffectiveness reported net gains of $0.9 million in the 2016 second quarter, compared to net gains of $4.7 million in the same period in the prior year. For the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2016, hedge ineffectiveness was a net gain of $1.3 million, compared to net gains of $4.0 million in the same period in the prior year.  We do not consider recorded hedge ineffectiveness to be significant relative to more than $65.0 billion in notional amounts of derivative transactions outstanding in fair value hedging relationships in each period in this report.  The small ineffectiveness was consistent with our hedging strategy of closely matching our derivatives with hedged advances and debt.

·Fair value gains and losses on Cash flow hedges — We have two primary cash flow hedging strategies — a rollover cash flow strategy hedging the variability of long-term issuances of discount notes, and another strategy to hedge anticipated issuances of debt.  No ineffectiveness has been observed or recorded in the rollover strategy.  Ineffectiveness from hedging anticipated issuances of debt resulted in insignificant amounts of ineffectiveness in all periods in this report.

Standalone derivative:

The impact on earnings from standalone derivatives are recorded in Other income as gains or losses from derivatives and hedging activities.  By policy election, interest accruals on standalone swaps are also recorded as gains or losses from derivatives and hedging activities.  The primary standalone derivative instruments were interest rate swaps and interest rate caps and floors that were in economic hedges of assets, liabilities or balance sheet risks.

Standalone derivatives reported net gains of $0.5 million and $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2016 and in the prior year period.  In the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2016, a net gain of $1.1 million was recorded, compared to net gains of $13.6 million in the prior year period.

The primary factors driving gains and losses in the reporting periods were:

·Fair value gains and losses on standalone derivatives.

Standalone derivatives were interest rate swaps, in economic hedges of advances and bonds elected under the FVO, and interest rate caps that mitigated the cash flow risk of capped floating-rate mortgage-backed securities.

Fair values of swaps in economic hedges are one-sided marks without the benefit of offsetting changes in the values of the FVO instruments.  Inter-period valuation fluctuations were generally due to fair value gains and losses in a prior year period that were followed by reversals in subsequent periods in the current year as swaps approached maturity.  The standalone swaps were of relatively short duration, generally with maturities of less than two years; as the swaps approached their maturity, gains and losses reversed, so that at maturity their values were zero.  Valuation changes on interest rate swaps designated in economic hedges of debt elected under the FVO reported net gains of $6.0 million and $15.0 million in the current year quarter and year-to-date period ended June 30, 2016, compared to net gains of $1.3 million and $4.4 million in the same quarter and year-to-date period in the prior year.  Valuation changes of interest rate swaps designated in economic hedges of advances elected under the FVO reported fair value losses of $0.7 million and $3.1 million in the current year quarter and year-to-date period ended June 30, 2016, compared to $0.2 million and $0.3 million in the same quarter and year-to-date period in the prior year.

Valuation changes of interest rate caps, designated as standalone derivatives in economic hedges of floating-rate MBS reported fair value losses of $1.9 million and $3.7 million in the current year quarter and year-to-date period ended June 30, 2016, compared to fair value losses of $0.4 million and $2.0 million in the same quarter and year-to-date period in the prior year.  The fair values of interest rate caps will decline if long-term rates decline or volatility of rates decline; fair values will increase when long-term rates rise or volatility of rates increase.  The interest rate caps are expected to mitigate the cash flow risk exposure of capped floating-rate MBS in a rising interest rate environment.

·Interest accruals on standalone derivatives — Interest accruals were included in the reported earnings impact due to the designation of derivatives as standalone (in economic hedges of assets, liabilities or the balance sheet).  Interest accrual expenses were $3.4 million and $7.8 million in the current year quarter and year-to-date period ended June 30, 2016, compared to net accrual income

74

(gains) of $6.5 million and $11.5 million in the same quarter and year-to-date period in the prior year.  Accrual expenses on standalone interest rate swaps represented payments to swap counterparties that exceeded the payments received by the FHLBNY.  Interest rate swaps in economic hedges of debt elected under the FVO were structured to pay LIBOR indexed cash flows and to receive fixed-rate cash flows.  Interest rate swaps in economic hedges of advances elected under the FVO were structured to pay fixed-rate cash flows, and in return receive variable-rate cash flows.

The policy election — reporting accruals on standalone derivatives as a component of derivatives and hedging activities in Other income, only impacts the reporting classification of accruals and has no impact on Net income. The interest rate swap accruals would have been otherwise reported in Net interest income if the swap was in an ASC 815 hedging relationship.

(a)Net hedging transactions represented changes in valuations that resulted in losses of $22.7 million and $79.6 million in the 2016 second quarter and the year-to-date period, compared to valuation gains of $31.0 million and $8.9 million in the same periods in the prior year. Valuation losses were associated with the two cash flow programs discussed below, but primarily represented changes in fair values of swaps in the discount note cash flow hedging program.

(b)End of period balances represent fair value losses (effective portion) of contracts open at period end.  There was no ineffectiveness on the open contracts.  For more information, see table: Cash Flow hedges — Fair Value changes in AOCI. Rollforward Analysis in financial statements Note 15.  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 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, 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.

Balance Sheet Overview — June 30, 2016 Compared to December 31, 2015

Total assets increased to $128.7 billion at June 30, 2016 from $123.2 billion at December 31, 2015, an increase of $5.5 billion, or 4.5%.  Advances to members increased to $95.3 billion at June 30, 2016 from $93.9 billion at December 31, 2015, an increase of $1.4 billion, or 1.5%.  Cash at banks was $344.8 million at June 30, 2016, compared to $327.5 million at December 31, 2015.  Cash balance at June 30, 2016, included $162.8 million at Citibank that was maintained as a compensating balance in lieu of fees for certain outsourced processes, and the remaining liquidity was at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”).

Overnight investments at June 30, 2016 were $9.0 billion in federal funds sold and $5.8 billion in overnight resale agreements.  Overnight investments at December 31, 2015 were $7.2 billion in federal funds and $4.0 billion in overnight resale agreements.  In years prior to those reported, opportunities for investing in short-term assets and meeting our risk/reward preferences were limited, with a tradeoff between maintaining liquidity at the FRBNY or investing at the prevailing low overnight rates at financial institutions.  Market yields for overnight investments have improved.  Additionally, with the success of the tri-party repo infrastructure reform efforts in the repo markets, the FHLBNY has leveraged the infrastructure, and specifically has utilized the Bank of New York (“BONY”) as its tri-party custodian bank to transact in a streamlined process for exchanging “repo cash” for securities collateral.  We are also eligible to engage in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s reverse repurchase transactions (“RRP”).  At June 30, 2016, overnight investments in the securities purchased under agreements to resell included $4.0 billion in the RRP program with BONY as the custodian.  With these processes in place at the FHLBNY, we are better positioned to manage the FHLBNY’s liquidity practices, from a risk/reward perspective, and earn higher income from investing excess liquidity.

Advances — Par balances increased at June 30, 2016 to $94.4 billion, compared to $93.5 billion at December 31, 2015.

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

In the AFS portfolio, long-term investments at June 30, 2016 were floating-rate GSE-issued mortgage-backed securities carried on the balance sheet at fair values of $0.7 billion, compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2015.

The FHLBNY owns a grantor trust that invests in highly-liquid registered mutual funds, which were classified as AFS; funds were carried on the balance sheet at fair values of $38.4 million and $32.9 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

In the HTM portfolio, long-term investments at June 30, 2016 were predominantly GSE-issued fixed- and floating-rate mortgage-backed securities, and housing finance agency bonds.  Carrying values of HTM securities are reported at amortized cost adjusted for credit and non-credit OTTI.  MBS were carried at $13.7 billion and $13.1 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Private-label issued MBS were only about 2% of the HTM portfolio of

77

mortgage-backed securities at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Housing finance agency bonds, primarily New York and New Jersey, were carried at an amortized cost basis of $818.2 million and $825.1 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Mortgage loans held-for-portfolio — Mortgage loans were investments in Mortgage Partnership Finance loans (“MPF” or “MPF Program”).  Unpaid principal balances of loans under this program stood at $2.6 billion at June 30, 2016, up a little from the balance at December 31, 2015.  Loans are primarily fixed-rate, single-family mortgages acquired through the MPF Program.  Pay downs in the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $131.3 million, compared to $127.8 million in the same period in the prior year.  Acquisitions in the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $242.5 million, compared to $385.0 million in same period in the prior year.  Credit performance has been strong and delinquency low.  Historical loss experience remains very low.  Residential collateral values have remained stable in the New York and New Jersey sectors, the primary geographic concentration for our MPF portfolio.

Capital ratios — Our capital position remains strong.  At June 30, 2016, actual risk-based capital was $7.0 billion, compared to required risk-based capital of $695.2 million.  To support $128.7 billion of total assets at June 30, 2016, the required minimum regulatory risk-based capital was $5.1 billion or 4.0% of assets.  Our actual regulatory risk-based capital was $7.0 billion, exceeding required capital by $1.9 billion.  These ratios have remained consistently above the required regulatory ratios through all periods in this report.  For more information, see financial statements, Note 12.  Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings.

Leverage — At June 30, 2016, balance sheet leverage (based on GAAP) was 19.0 times shareholders’ equity, compared to 18.3 times at December 31, 2015.  Balance sheet leverage has generally remained steady over the last several years, although from time to time we have maintained excess liquidity in highly liquid investments, or cash balances at the FRBNY to meet unexpected member demand for funds.  Increases or decreases in investments have a direct impact on leverage, but generally growth in or shrinkage of advances does not significantly impact balance sheet leverage under existing capital stock management practices.  Members are required to purchase activity-based 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 — At June 30, 2016, liquid assets included $177.0 million as demand cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, $162.8 million as compensating cash balances at Citibank that could be withdrawn at short notice, $14.7 billion in overnight loans in the federal funds and the repo markets, and $0.7 billion of high credit quality GSE-issued available-for-sale securities that are investment quality, and readily marketable.  Our liquidity position remains strong, and in compliance with all regulatory requirements, and we do not foresee any changes to that position.

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

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

We also hold Contingency Liquidity in an amount sufficient to meet our liquidity needs if we are unable to access the consolidated obligation debt market for at least 5 days.  The actual Contingency Liquidity under the 5-day scenario in the 2016 second quarter was $26.5 billion, well in excess of the required $2.2 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

78

additional advances to the former members.  If maturing advances are not replaced, it will have an impact on business volume.

The increase in amounts outstanding at June 30, 2016, relative to December 31, 2015 has been largely driven by demand for adjustable-rate advances (“ARCs”).

Table 4.1:Advance Trends

Member demand for advance products

Par amounts of advances outstanding were $94.4 billion at June 30, 2016, compared to $93.5 billion at December 31, 2015.  Carrying values of advances outstanding at June 30, 2016 increased to $95.3 billion, up from $93.9 billion at December 31, 2015.  Carrying values included unrealized net fair value hedging basis adjustments.  For advances hedged under a qualifying hedging rule, net fair value gains of $863.3 million and $336.5 million were recorded at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and were computed based on changes in the LIBOR benchmark rate.  For advances elected under the fair value option (“FVO”), valuations were the entire fair values of advances, and net valuation basis gains of $9.5 million and $0.3 million were recorded at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Adjustable Rate Advances (“ARC Advances”) - ARC Advances are medium- and long-term loans that can be linked to a variety of indices, such as 1-month LIBOR, 3-month LIBOR, the federal funds rate, or Prime.  The ARC interest rate is set and reset (depending upon the maturity of the advance and the type of index) at a spread to LIBOR.  Principal is due at maturity and interest payments are due at each reset date, including the final payment date.  Members use ARC Advances to manage interest rate and basis risks by efficiently matching the interest rate index and repricing characteristics of floating-rate assets.  Some members may elect to use ARC Advances as part of a cash flow hedge strategy, where they will synthetically convert the floating-rate borrowing to fixed-rate with the use of interest rate swaps.

79

Fixed-rate Advances — Medium and long-term fixed-rate advances, comprising putable and non-putable advances, remain the largest category of advances.  Fixed-rate advances are offered in maturities of one year or longer.  Member demand for fixed-rate advances has remained steady through the two quarters of 2016, with maturing advances replaced by new borrowings.  We believe that members still remain uncertain about locking into long-term advances, perhaps because of unfavorable pricing of longer-term advances, an uncertain outlook on the direction and timing of interest rate changes, or lukewarm demand from members’ customer base for longer-term fixed-rate loans.

Fixed-rate advances include advances with a “put” option feature (“putable advance”).  Putable advances were $2.9 billion at June 30, 2016, compared to $3.6 billion at December 31, 2015.  Historically, in years prior to periods in this report, fixed-rate putable advances had been more competitively priced relative to fixed-rate “bullet” advances (without put option) because the “put” feature (that we have purchased from the member) reduces the coupon on the advance.  The price advantage of a putable advance increases with the number of puts sold and the length of the term of a putable advance.  With a putable advance, we have the right to exercise the put option and terminate the advance at predetermined exercise date(s).  We would normally exercise this option when interest rates rise, and the borrower may then apply for a new advance at the then-prevailing coupon and terms.  In the present interest rate environment, the price advantage has not been significant and member demand was weak.

Short-term Advances — Member demand for short-term fixed-rate advances was uneven in the two quarters in 2016.  Outstanding balances at June 30, 2016 grew to $10.1 billion after a decline to $7.8 billion at March 31, 2016, compared to $11.6 billion at December 31, 2015.  Short term advances are fixed-rate advances with original maturities of one year or less.

Overnight Advances — Overnight advance balances were $3.5 billion at June 30, 2016, compared to $3.7 billion at December 31, 2015.  Fluctuations in demand reflect the seasonal needs of certain member banks for their short-term liquidity requirements.  Some large members also use overnight advances to adjust their balance sheet in line with their own leverage targets.  The overnight advances program gives members a short-term, flexible, readily accessible revolving line of credit for immediate liquidity needs.  Overnight advances mature on the next business day, at which time the advance is repaid.

Collateral Security

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

The FHLBNY’s loan and collateral agreements give us a security interest in assets held by borrowers that is sufficient to cover their obligations to the FHLBNY.  We may supplement this security interest by imposing additional reporting, segregation or delivery requirements on the borrower.  We assign specific collateral requirements to a borrower, based on a number of factors.  These include, but are not limited to: (1) the borrower’s overall financial condition; (2) the degree of complexity involved in the pledging, verifying, and reporting of collateral between the borrower and the FHLBNY, especially when third-party pledges, custodians, outside service providers and pledges to other entities are involved; and (3) the type of collateral pledged.

In order to ensure that the FHLBNY has sufficient collateral to cover credit extensions, the Bank has established a Collateral Lendable Value methodology. This methodology determines the lendable value or amount of borrowing capacity assigned to each specific type of collateral.  Key components of the Lendable Value include measures of Market, Credit, Price Volatility and Operational Risk associated with the unique collateral types pledged to the FHLBNY.  Lendable Values are periodically adjusted to reflect current market and business conditions.  For more information about our practices with respect to collateral, see the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

(a)Fixed-rate borrowings remained the largest category of advances borrowed by members.  The category includes long-term and short-term fixed-rate advances.  Long-term advances remain a small segment of the portfolio at June 30, 2016, with only 4.7% of advances in the remaining maturity bucket of greater than 5 years (4.4% at December 31, 2015).

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

(a)Hedging valuation basis adjustments — The reported carrying value of hedged advances is 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 hedges of advances.  The application of this accounting methodology resulted in the recognition of unrealized hedge valuation gains at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (See Table 4.3 above).  When medium- and long-term interest rates rise or fall, the fair values of fixed-rate advances move in the opposite direction and valuation basis adjustments will decline or rise.  Hedging valuation basis adjustments resulted in a net gain of $863.3 million at June 30, 2016, compared to a net gain of $336.5 million at December 31, 2015.  The benchmark swap curve declined at term points beyond the very short-end of the curve at June 30, 2016, relative to December 31, 2015, causing fair value basis gains to increase at June 30, 2016.  The hedged advance portfolio is fixed-rate and fair values will increase when forward rates decline.

Unrealized gains from fair value basis adjustments on hedged advances were almost entirely offset by net fair value unrealized losses on the derivatives hedging the advances, thereby achieving our hedging objectives of mitigating fair value basis risk.  For more information, see Table 1.13: Earnings Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities — By Financial Instrument Type.

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

Valuation adjustments have not been significant relative to the par amounts of the FVO advance, as advances elected under the FVO were either variable rate LIBOR indexed advances, which re-priced frequently to market indices, or fixed-rate medium- term, and valuation basis remained near to par.  Increase in fair value basis was due to declining market interest rates; fair value basis moves inversely to market rates.  The FVO advance portfolio was $7.8 billion at June 30, 2016, compared to $9.5 billion at December 31, 2015, and 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 16.  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 features (in thousands):

Table 4.5:Hedged Advances by Type

Par Amount	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Qualifying Hedges
Fixed-rate bullets (a)	$	37,601,278	$	39,671,761

Fair value basis (Qualifying hedging adjustments)	$	863,335	$	336,489

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

Advances elected under the FVO — Advances elected under the FVO were adjustable-rate and fixed-rate advances.  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):

Table 4.6:Advances under the Fair Value Option (FVO)

	Advances
Par Amount	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Advances designated under FVO (a)	$	7,843,425	$	9,532,240

(a)Advances elected under the FVO declined primarily due to maturing ARC advances that were not rolled over.  FVO advances at June 30, 2016 were Adjustable rate (ARCs) $4.8 billion; Fixed-rate $3.0 billion.  FVO advances at December 31, 2015 were Adjustable rate (ARCs) $5.8 billion; Fixed-rate $3.7 billion.

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

Table 4.7:Putable and Callable Advances

Putable/callable	$	2,904,350	$	3,583,600
No-longer putable/callable	$	1,710,500	$	1,574,500

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

Investments

We maintain long-term investment portfolios, which are principally mortgage-backed securities issued by GSEs and U.S. Agency (hereinafter referred to as “GSE-issued”).  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 purpose, 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.

We are subject to credit risk on our investments, generally transacted with GSEs and large financial institutions that are considered to be of investment quality.  The Finance Agency defines investment quality as a security with adequate financial backings so that full and timely payment of principal and interest on such security is expected and there is minimal risk that the timely payment of principal and interest would not occur because of adverse changes in economic and financial conditions during the projected life of the security.  For more information about investment policies, restrictions and practices, see the most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

(a)State and local housing finance agency bonds — Bonds are classified as HTM and are carried at amortized cost.  No acquisitions were made in the six months ended June 30, 2016.

(b)Mortgage-backed securities classified as AFS — No acquisitions were made in the six months ended June 30, 2016.  AFS securities outstanding are GSE issued floating-rate MBS carried at fair value.

Mortgage-backed securities classified as HTM — $1.3 billion of GSE-issued MBS were acquired in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and designated as HTM.  Approximately 98.0% of HTM mortgage-backed securities are GSE issued securities.

(c)The grantor trust is classified as AFS.  We invested $5.5 million in the grantor trust in the six months ended June 30, 2016.  Trust funds represent investments in registered mutual funds and other fixed-income and equity funds.  Funds are highly liquid and readily redeemable at their NAVs, which are the fair values of the investments.  The fund is owned by the FHLBNY, and the intent is to utilize investments to fund current and potential future payment obligations of the non-qualified Benefits Equalization Pension plan.  For more information about the pension plan, see financial statements, Note 14.  Employee Retirement Plans in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

Long-Term Investment Securities

Pricing of GSE-issued MBS has remained tight, and acquisitions were made only when pricing justified our risk/reward criteria.  Unpaid principal balances of investments in MBS was $14.4 billion at June 30, 2016, an increase of $326.8 million (net of paydowns), compared to December 31, 2015.  By policy, we acquire only GSE-issued RMBS and CMBS.

The long-term investment securities at June 30, 2016 comprised of a portfolio of GSE-issued MBS, a small portfolio of vintage private label MBS, and a small portfolio of housing finance agency bonds, as summarized below:

·The AFS portfolio of GSE-issued floating-rate MBS were carried at their fair values of $0.7 billion at June 30, 2016, compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2015.  Unpaid principal balances decreased by $216.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016.  No acquisitions were designated to the AFS portfolio; we sold $116.4 million at a small gain in the six months ended June 30, 2016.  Fair values of the AFS securities were substantially all in unrealized fair value gain positions at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The AFS securities are indexed to LIBOR, and certain securities are capped, typically between 6.5% and 7.5%.  The risk arising from the capped floating-rate MBS in our portfolios of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities is economically hedged by $2.7 billion notional amounts of interest rate caps.  For more information about the interest rate caps, see financial statements, Note 15.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities, and Table 9.3 Derivative Hedging Strategies — Balance Sheet and Intermediation in this MD&A.  No AFS securities were determined to be OTTI in any periods in this report.  For more information about AFS securities, see financial statements, Note 6.  Available-for-Sale Securities.

·The HTM portfolio of MBS comprised of portfolios of GSE issued fixed and floating-rate MBS, and a small portfolio of Private label MBS (98.0%, GSE-issued; 2.0%, PLMBS).  Securities classified as HTM are carried at amortized cost less adjustments for credit and non-credit OTTI losses and OTTI recoveries.  Unpaid principal balance of fixed-rate MBS was $7.1 billion and $7.3 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  No acquisitions were designated to the fixed-rate portfolio in the six months ended June 30, 2016; paydowns were $225.2 million.  Unpaid principal balance of floating-rate MBS was $6.6 billion at June 30, 2016 and $5.9 billion at December 31, 2015.  In the six months ended June 30, 2016, we acquired $1.3 billion of floating-rate securities, ahead of $519.3 million in paydowns.  HTM floating-rate securities are typically indexed to the 1-month LIBOR, and certain securities are capped, typically between 6.5% and 7.5%.  As discussed in the previous bullet, the risk arising from capped AFS and HTM floating-rate securities is economically hedged by the purchased interest rate caps.  For more information about HTM securities, see financial statements, Note 5.  Held-to-Maturity Securities.

·Housing finance agency bonds (“HFA bonds”), all designated as HTM, were carried at amortized cost basis of $818.2 million and $825.1 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  We did not acquire HFA bonds in the six months ended June 30, 2016.  HFA bonds are primarily floating rate instruments indexed to LIBOR.  No HFA bonds were determined to be OTTI in any periods in this report.

Footnotes to Table 5.3 and Table 5.4

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

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

(c)Highly liquid equity and bond mutual funds, carried at net asset values (NAVs) as fair values.  We invested $5.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016.

External credit rating information has been provided in Table 5.3 and Table 5.4 as the information is used as another data point to supplement our credit quality indicators, and they serve as a useful indicator when analyzing the degree of credit risk to which we are exposed.  Significant changes in credit ratings classifications of our investment

securities portfolio could indicate increased credit risk for us that could be accompanied by a reduction in the fair values of our investment securities portfolio.

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

To compute fair values at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, four vendor prices were received for substantially all of our MBS holdings, and substantially all of those prices fell within specified thresholds.  The relative proximity of the prices received from the four vendors supported our conclusion that the final computed prices were reasonable estimates of fair values.  GSE securities priced under such a valuation technique using the market approach are typically classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

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

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.

Cash flow analysis in the six months ended June 30, 2016 identified de minimus deterioration in the performance parameters of previously impaired private-label MBS.  Credit OTTI charged to earnings was immaterial.

Short-term investments

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

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

The Finance Agency regulations also permit us to extend additional unsecured credit, which could be comprised of overnight extensions and sales of federal funds subject to continuing contract.  Our total unsecured overnight exposure to a single counterparty may not exceed twice the regulatory limit for term exposures.  We are prohibited by Finance Agency regulation from investing in financial instruments issued by non-U.S. entities other than those issued by U.S. branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks.  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 21, 2016.

87

Securities purchased under agreement 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 $5.8 billion at June 30, 2016 and $4.0 billion at December 31, 2015.  For more information, see financial statements, Note 4.  Federal Funds Sold, Interest-bearing Deposits, and Securities Purchased under Agreement to Resell.

Federal funds sold — Federal funds sold at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 represented overnight unsecured lending to major banks and financial institutions.  The amount of unsecured credit risk that may be extended to individual counterparties is commensurate with the counterparty’s credit quality as assessed by 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 table below presents federal funds sold, the counterparty credit ratings, and the domicile of the counterparty or the domicile of the counterparty’s parent for U.S. branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks in the U.S. (dollars in thousands):

Interest earning cash deposits (pledged collateral) with derivative counterparties — At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had deposited $635.3 million and $370.5 million in interest-earning cash as pledged collateral or as margins to derivative counterparties.  All cash posted as pledged collateral to derivative counterparties is reported as a deduction to Derivative liabilities in the Statements of Condition.  Cash posted in excess of required collateral is reported as a component of Derivative assets.  Typically, cash posted as collateral or as margin earns interest at the overnight federal funds rate.

We execute derivatives with major financial institutions.  We enter into bilateral collateral netting agreements for derivatives that have not yet been approved for clearing by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”).  Such derivatives are also referred to as uncleared derivatives.  For derivative contracts that are mandated for clearing under the Dodd-Frank Act, we have obtained legal netting analyses that provide support for the right of offset of posted margins as a netting adjustment to the fair value exposures of the associated derivatives.  When our derivatives are in a liability position, counterparties are in a fair value gain position and counterparties are exposed to the non-performance risk of the FHLBNY.  For cleared and uncleared derivatives, we are required to post cash collateral or margin to mitigate the counterparties’ credit exposure under agreed upon procedures.  For uncleared derivatives, bilateral collateral agreements include certain thresholds and pledge requirements under ISDA agreements that are generally triggered if exposures exceed the agreed-upon thresholds.  For cleared derivatives executed in compliance with CFTC rules, margins are posted daily to cover the exposure presented by our open positions.  Certain triggering events such as a default by the FHLBNY could result in additional margins to be posted by the FHLBNY to our derivative clearing agents.  For more information, see Credit Risk Due to Non-performance by Counterparties in financial statements, Note 15. Derivatives and Hedging Activities.  Also see Tables 9.5 and 9.6 and accompanying discussions in this MD&A.

Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio

Mortgage loans are carried in the Statements of Condition at amortized cost, less allowance for credit losses.  The outstanding unpaid principal balance was $2.6 billion at June 30, 2016, an increase of $106.4 million (net of acquisitions and paydowns) from the balance at December 31, 2015.  Mortgage loans were investments in Mortgage Partnership Finance loans (“MPF” or “MPF Program”).  We provide this product to members as another alternative for them to sell their mortgage production.  Loan origination by members and acceptable pricing are key factors that drive growth.  MPF loans are fixed rate mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties with maturities ranging from five to 30 years.

88

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 by one-to-four family residential properties with maturities ranging from five to 30 years or participations in such mortgage loans.  The FHLBank of Chicago (“MPF Provider”) developed the MPF Program in order to help fulfill the housing mission and to provide an additional source of liquidity to FHLBank members that choose to sell mortgage loans into the secondary market rather than holding them in their own portfolios.  Finance Agency regulations define the acquisition of Acquired Member Assets (“AMA”) as a core mission activity of the FHLBanks.  In order for MPF loans to meet the AMA requirements, the purchase and funding are structured so that the credit risk associated with MPF loans is shared with PFIs.

For more information about the MPF program, see Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio in the MD&A in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

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

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

Table 6.1:MPF by Product Types

Total par MPF loans	$	2,584,584	$	2,478,189

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

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

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

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

(e)Other includes FHA and VA insured loans.

Mortgage loans — Conventional and Insured Loans

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

Total par MPF loans	$	2,584,584	$	2,478,189

Mortgage Loans — Loss sharing and the credit enhancement waterfall

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

89

First loss layer — The amount of the first layer or the First Loss Account (“FLA”) serves as an information or memorandum account, and as an indicator of the amount of losses that the FHLBNY is responsible for in the first layer.  The table below provides changes in the FLA for the periods in this report.  Losses that exceed the liquidation value of the real property, and the value of any primary mortgage insurance (“PMI”) for loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80% at origination, will be absorbed by the FHLBNY up to the FLA for each Master Commitment. For the Original MPF, MPF 100, MPF 125 and MPF 125 Plus products, the Credit Enhancement is periodically recalculated.  If the recalculated Credit Enhancement would result in a PFI Credit Enhancement obligation lower than the remaining obligation, the PFI’s Credit Enhancement obligation will be reset to the new, lower level.

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

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

The amount of the credit enhancement is computed with the use of S&P’s model for determining the amount of credit enhancement necessary to bring a pool of uninsured loans to “AA” credit risk.  The credit enhancement becomes an obligation of the PFI.  For taking on the credit enhancement obligation, we pay to the PFI a credit enhancement fee.  For certain MPF products, the credit enhancement fee is accrued and paid each month to the PFI, and for other MPF products, the credit enhancement fee is accrued and paid monthly after being deferred for 12 months.  CE Fees are paid on a pool level, and if the pool runs down, the amount of future CE fees would shrink in line.

The portion of the credit enhancement that is an obligation of the PFI must be fully secured with pledged collateral.  A portion of the credit enhancement may also be covered by insurance, subject to limitations specified in the Acquired Member Assets regulation.  Each PFI that participates in the MPF program must meet our established financial performance criteria.  In addition, we perform financial reviews of each approved PFI annually.

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

Accrued interest receivable was $148.5 million at June 30, 2016 and $145.9 million at December 31, 2015, and represented interest receivable primarily from advances and investments.  Changes in balances would represent the timing of coupons receivable from advances and investments at the balance sheet dates.

Other assets, including prepayments and miscellaneous receivables, were $5.9 million and $8.1 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

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 outstanding at June 30, 2016 was $70.9 billion (par, $70.2 billion), compared to $67.7 billion (par, $67.2 billion) at December 31, 2015.  Carrying values included valuation basis losses of $712.7 million at June 30, 2016 and $490.2 million at December 31, 2015.  For more information about valuation basis adjustments, see Table 7.1 Consolidated Obligation Bonds by Type.

Consolidated obligation discount notes — The carrying value of consolidated obligation discount notes outstanding was $49.1 billion at June 30, 2016 and $46.8 billion at December 31, 2015.  Discount notes funded 34.8% of average earning assets in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to 36.9% in the same period in the prior year.  No discount notes had been hedged under a fair value accounting hedge at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, although from time to time we have designated the instruments in economic hedges during the periods in this report.  Discount notes elected under the FVO were par amounts of $10.6 billion and $12.5 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Valuation adjustments on the FVO discount notes were fair value losses of $17.6 million and $12.2 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  For more information about valuation basis adjustments, see Table 7.7 Discount Notes Outstanding.  Certain discount notes were hedged under a cash flow accounting hedge, and are discussed in financial statements, Note 15. Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

A FHLBank’s ability to access the capital markets to issue debt, as well as our cost of funds, is dependent on our credit ratings from major ratings organizations, which is presented in Table 7.10.

The issuance and servicing of consolidated obligation debt are performed by the Office of Finance, a joint office of the FHLBanks established by the Finance Agency.  Each FHLBank independently determines its participation in each issuance of consolidated obligations based on, among other factors, its own funding and operating requirements, maturities, interest rates and other terms available for consolidated obligations in the market place.  The two major debt programs offered by the Office of Finance are the Global Debt Program and the TAP issue programs.  We participate in both programs.  For more information about these programs, see our most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

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 17.  Commitments and Contingencies.

Fair value basis and valuation adjustments — The carrying values of consolidated obligation bonds include valuation basis adjustments.  Key determinants are factors such as volume, the forward swap curve, the volatility of the swap rates, the remaining duration to maturity, and for 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.

At June 30, 2016, the application of the accounting methodology resulted in the recognition of $563.8 million in hedge valuation basis losses, compared to losses of $346.4 million at December 31, 2015.  Most of existing hedged bonds are fixed-rate liabilities, which had been issued at higher coupons in prior years at the then prevailing higher interest rate environment, and fair values will move inversely to market rates.  Generally, hedge valuation basis are unrealized and will reverse to zero if held to their maturity or their call dates.  Valuation basis were not significant, relative to their par values, because the terms to maturity of the hedged bonds were on average short- and medium-term.

Valuation losses have increased at June 30, 2016, in line with the declining forward LIBOR (the swap curve) at June 30, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015; the swap curve is the discounting basis of bonds hedged under ASC 815.  More information is provided in 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.  The net unrealized cumulative losses at the hedge termination dates for such bonds are no longer adjusted for changes in the benchmark rate.  Instead, the valuation basis are amortized on a level yield method, and the net amortization is recorded as a reduction of Interest expense.  Unamortized basis adjustments on terminated hedges were losses of $143.0 million and $145.5 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  If the CO bonds are held to maturity, the basis losses will be amortized to zero.

(c)FVO valuation adjustments — Carrying values of bonds elected under the FVO include valuation basis losses of $5.9 million at June 30, 2016 and valuation basis gains of $1.8 million at December 31, 2015.  Valuation basis adjustments are recorded to recognize changes in the entire fair values of bonds elected under the FVO, including accrued interest payable.  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 are short- and medium-term, and fluctuations in their valuation, excluding interest payable, were not significant as the bonds re-price relatively frequently to market indices, remaining near to par, although there could be inter-period volatility over their life cycle.  FVO bonds outstanding at June 30, 2016 reported valuation losses in line with the declining market observable CO curve at June 30, 2016.  When the market observed CO rate (the cost of funds pricing curve for the FHLBNY) declines, fair value losses will move inversely and will increase.

Par amounts of bonds elected under the FVO were $3.6 billion at June 30, 2016, compared to $13.3 billion at December 31, 2015. We have elected the FVO on an instrument-by-instrument basis.  For bonds elected under the FVO, it was not necessary to estimate changes attributable to instrument-specific credit risk, as we consider the credit worthiness of the FHLBanks to be secure and credit related adjustments unnecessary.  More information about debt elected under the FVO is provided in financial statements, Note 16.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments (See Fair Value Option Disclosures).

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

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 hedge that would qualify under ASC 815.

	Consolidated Obligation Bonds
Par Amount	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Qualifying Hedges
Fixed-rate bullet bonds	$	24,432,715	$	23,259,610
Fixed-rate callable bonds	605,000		2,380,000
	$	25,037,715	$	25,639,610

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.

	Consolidated Obligation Bonds
Par Amount	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Bonds designated under FVO	$	3,571,135	$	13,322,660

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

Table 7.4:Economically Hedged Bonds

(Excludes consolidated obligation bonds elected under the FVO and hedged economically)

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

	Consolidated Obligation Bonds
Par Amount	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Bonds designated as economically hedged
Floating-rate bonds (a)	$	7,500,000	$	3,735,000
Fixed-rate bonds (b)	55,000		45,000
	$	7,555,000	$	3,780,000

(a)Floating-rate debt — Floating-rate bonds were indexed to 1-month LIBOR and swapped in economic hedges to 3-month LIBOR with the execution of basis swaps.  Issuances of floating-rate bonds increased partly due to favorable pricing of the 1-month LIBOR indexed bonds, and partly due to increase in the funding needs for variable debt.

(b)Fixed-rate debt — Represent bonds that were previously hedged and that have fallen out of effectiveness.

(a)Contrasting consolidated obligation bonds by contractual maturity dates (see financial statements, Note 10.  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.

Weighted average interest rate	0.37		%	0.26		%

(a)Carrying values of discount notes elected under the FVO include valuation adjustments to recognize changes in fair values.  The discounting basis for computing changes in fair values of discount notes elected under the FVO is the observable FHLBank discount note yield curve.  Changes in fair value basis reflect changes in the term structure of interest rates, the shape of the yield curve at the measurement dates, and the growth or decline in volume.  Valuation adjustments included significant cumulative unaccreted discounts.  Unaccreted discounts or accrued unpaid interest expenses are included in the entire fair value on debt instruments elected under the FVO.  If held to maturity, unaccreted discounts will be fully accreted to par, and unrealized fair value gains and losses will sum to zero over the term to maturity.

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

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

(a)Par amounts represent discounts notes issued in cash flow “rollover” hedge strategies that hedged the variability of 91-day discount notes issued in sequence typically for periods up to 15 years.  In this strategy, the discount note expense, which resets every 91 days, is synthetically changed to fixed cash flows over the hedge periods, thereby achieving hedge objectives.  For more information, see financial statements, Cash Flow Hedges in Note 15.

Accrued interest payable

Other liabilities

Accrued interest payable — Amounts outstanding were $118.8 million and $108.6 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Accrued interest payable was comprised primarily of interest due and unpaid on consolidated obligation bonds, which are generally payable on a semi-annual basis.  Fluctuations in unpaid interest balances on bonds are due to the timing of semi-annual coupon accruals and payments at the balance sheet dates.

Other liabilities — Amounts outstanding were $152.8 million and $151.4 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Other liabilities comprised of unfunded pension liabilities, pass-through reserves held on behalf of members at the FRBNY, commitments and miscellaneous payables.

Stockholders’ Capital

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

Table 8.1:Stockholders’ Capital

Total Capital	$	6,774,221		$	6,719,482

(a)Stockholders’ Capital — Capital stock increased in line with the increase in advances borrowed.  When an advance matures or is prepaid, the excess capital stock is re-purchased 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 12.  Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings in the FHLBNY’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

(b)Unrestricted retained earnings — Net Income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $175.0 million; $35.0 million was set aside towards Restricted retained earnings.  From the remaining amount, we paid $122.6 million to members as dividends in the six months ended June 30, 2016.  As a result, Unrestricted retained earnings increased by $17.4 million to $984.5 million at June 30, 2016.

(c)Restricted retained earnings — Restricted retained earning balance at June 30, 2016 has grown to $338.1 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.  For more information about Restricted retained earnings, see Note 12.

Total Accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	(214,760	)	$	(135,687	)

(a)OTTI — Non-credit OTTI losses recorded in AOCI declined at June 30, 2016, primarily due to accretion recorded as a reduction in AOCI and a corresponding increase in the balance sheet carrying values of the OTTI securities.

(b)Fair values of available-for-sale securities — Balances represent net unrealized fair value gains of MBS securities and the grantor trust fund classified as available-for-sale.  The pricing of MBS in the AFS portfolio was substantially in unrealized gain positions at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

(c)Cash flow hedge valuation losses — Cumulative losses from the two cash flow hedging strategies were $169.5 million at June 30, 2016 and $91.0 million at December 31, 2015.  Financial statements, Note 15.  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 14.  Employee Retirement Plans in the FHLBNY’s most recent Form10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

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:

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Interest rate swaps, swaptions, cap and floor agreements (collectively, derivatives) enable us to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates by adjusting the effective maturity, repricing frequency, or option characteristics of financial instruments.  To a limited extent, we also use interest rate swaps to hedge changes in interest rates prior to debt issuance and essentially lock in funding costs. Finance Agency regulations prohibit the speculative use of derivatives.  For additional information about the methodologies adopted for the fair value measurement of derivatives, see financial statements, Note 16.  Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

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

Derivative Credit Risk Exposure and Concentration

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

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

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

98

Our credit exposures (derivatives in a net gain position) were to highly-rated counterparties and a Derivative Clearing Organization (“DCO”) that met our credit quality standards.  Our exposures also included open derivative contracts executed on behalf of member institutions, and the exposures were collateralized under standard advance collateral agreements with our members.  For such transactions, acting as an intermediary, we offset the transaction by purchasing equivalent notional amounts of derivatives from unrelated derivative counterparties.  For more information, see financial statements, Credit Risk due to non-performance by counterparties, in Note 15. Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Risk mitigation — We attempt to mitigate derivative counterparty credit risk by contracting only with experienced counterparties with investment-quality credit ratings that met our credit quality standards.  Annually, our management and Board of Directors review and approve all non-member derivative counterparties.  We monitor counterparties on an ongoing basis for significant business events, including ratings actions taken by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (“NRSRO”).  All approved derivatives counterparties must enter into a master ISDA agreement with our bank before we execute a trade through that counterparty.  In addition, for all bilateral OTC derivatives, we have executed the Credit Support Annex to the ISDA agreement that provides for collateral support at predetermined thresholds.  For Cleared-OTC derivatives, margin requirements are mandated under the Dodd-Frank Act.  We believe that these arrangements have sufficiently mitigated our exposures, and we do not anticipate any credit losses on derivative contracts.

Derivatives Counterparty Credit Ratings

The following table summarizes notional amounts and fair values for the FHLBNY’s derivative exposures as represented by derivatives in fair value gain positions.  With certain counterparties, specifically the derivative central clearing organizations, we post initial margin in addition to collateral (variation margin).  Together, it typically results in excess cash collateral posted by the FHLBNY.  We consider the excess collateral as our derivative exposure.  In such instances, the “Net Derivatives Fair Values before Collateral” may be negative (DCOs are exposed).  However, after including excess cash margins, the FHLBNY is exposed.

For derivatives where the counterparties were in gain positions, the fair values and notional amounts are grouped together (in thousands):

Uncleared derivatives — Notional amounts of uncleared (bilaterally executed) derivatives were $16.2 billion and $22.9 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  For bilaterally executed OTC derivatives (uncleared derivatives), many of the Credit Support Amount (“CSA”) agreements with swap dealers stipulate that so long as we retain our GSE status, ratings downgrades would not result in the posting of additional collateral.  Other CSA agreements with derivative counterparties would require us to post additional collateral based solely on an adverse change in our credit rating by S&P and Moody’s.  In the event of a split rating, the lower rating will apply.  We do not expect to post additional collateral.  The FHLBNY is rated AA+/stable by S&P’s and Aaa/stable by Moody’s.

Cleared derivatives — Notional amounts of cleared derivatives were $79.2 billion and $83.9 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  For cleared OTC derivatives, margin requirements are determined by the DCO based on the volatility of the exposure, and generally credit ratings are not factored into the margin amounts.  Clearing agents may require additional margin amounts to be posted based on credit considerations.  We were not subject to additional margin calls by our clearing agents at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Collateral and margin posted — Cash collateral of $635.3 million and $370.5 million were posted to swap counterparties (including DCOs) at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  After posting cash collateral, the fair values of our derivative instruments in net liability positions were approximately $197.4 million and $210.1 million, at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Amounts represented the exposures facing the swap counterparties in the event of non-performance by the FHLBNY to the swap contracts.

On the assumption that we will retain our status as a GSE, we estimate that a one notch downgrade of our credit rating by S&P would have permitted swap dealers and counterparties to make additional collateral calls of up to $28.1 million at June 30, 2016 and $27.3 million at December 31, 2015.  Additional collateral postings upon an assumed downgrade were estimated based on the individual collateral posting provisions of the CSA of the counterparty and the actual bilateral exposure of the counterparty and the FHLBNY at those dates.

(a)Notional concentration — Concentration is measured by fair value exposure and not by notional amounts.  Fair values for derivative contracts in a gain position represent the credit exposure we face due to potential non-performance of the derivative counterparty.  For such transactions, the FHLBNY’s potential exposure would be the FHLBNY’s inability to replace the contracts at a value that would be equal to or greater than the cash posted to the defaulting counterparty.  For derivative contracts that were in a liability position, the swap counterparties were exposed to a default or non-performance by the FHLBNY.

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

(c)Includes cleared swaps at Derivative clearing organizations — notional amounts were $79.2 billion and $83.9 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

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

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

Finance Agency Regulations — Liquidity

Regulatory requirements are specified in Parts 932, 1239 and 1270 of the Finance Agency regulations and are summarized below.  Each FHLBank shall at all times have at least an amount of liquidity equal to the current deposits received from its members that may be invested in: (1) Obligations of the United States; (2) Deposits in banks or trust companies; or (3) Advances with a 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
June 30, 2016	$	1,475	$	86,688	$	85,213
March 31, 2016	1,318		87,098		85,780
December 31, 2015	1,246		81,228		79,982

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

101

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, 2016	6,375		28,902		22,527
December 31, 2015	7,255		27,722		20,467

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 Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization.  We consistently exceeded the regulatory minimum requirements for contingency liquidity.  Contingency liquidity is measured daily.  We met these requirements at all times.

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

Table 10.3:Contingency Liquidity

	Average Five Day		Average Actual
For the Quarters Ended	Requirement		Contingency Liquidity		Excess
June 30, 2016	$	2,234	$	26,511	$	24,277
March 31, 2016	2,574		28,515		25,941
December 31, 2015	2,204		27,521		25,317

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 our maturing advances would be rolled over, and in that scenario we would maintain positive cash flows for a minimum of 5 days on a daily basis.  We calculate the amount of cash flows under each scenario on a daily basis and have been in compliance with these guidelines.

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

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

Cash flows

Cash and due from banks was $344.8 million at June 30, 2016 and $327.5 million at December 31, 2015.  The following discussion highlights the major activities and transactions that affected our cash flows.

Cash flows from operating activities — Operating assets and liabilities support our lending activities to members, and can vary significantly in the normal course of business due to the amount and timing of cash flows, which are affected by member-driven borrowing, our investment strategies, and market conditions.  Management believes cash

102

flows from operations, available cash balances and our ability to generate cash through the issuance of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes are sufficient to fund our operating liquidity needs.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $200.3 million and $312.7 million in the same period in the prior year.  By way of comparison, Net income was $175.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and $163.4 million in the same period in the prior year.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities were higher than Net income in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and was largely as a result of adjustments for non-cash fair value adjustments on derivatives and hedging activities of $106.1 million and $100.6 million that were almost entirely driven by derivative financing elements.  For more information, see Statements of Cash Flows in the financial statements.  For cash flow reporting, cash outflows (expenses) associated with swaps with off-market terms are considered to be principal repayments of certain off-market swap transactions, although they are reported as an expense to Net income in the Statements of Income.  Certain interest rate swaps at inception of the contracts included off-market terms, and required up-front cash exchanges, and were largely outstanding in the periods in this report.  We view these swaps to contain “financing elements”, as defined under hedge accounting rules.  The amounts, which represented interest payments to swap counterparties for the off-market swaps, were classified as Financing activities rather than Operating activities.

Cash flows (used in) provided by investing activities — Investing activities consumed $5.1 billion in net cash in the six months ended June 30, 2016.  Increases in overnight investments, held-to-maturity securities and advances were the primary drivers.  In the same period in the prior year, investing activities resulted in net cash inflows of $6.8 billion of funds provided primarily by maturing advances that exceeded new advances.

Short-term Borrowings and Short-term Debt

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

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

Table 10.4:Short-term Debt

	Consolidated Obligations-Discount Notes						Consolidated Obligations-Bonds With Original Maturities of One Year or Less

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

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

In addition, in the ordinary course of business, the FHLBNY engages in financial transactions that, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not recorded on the FHLBNY’s balance sheet or may be recorded on the FHLBNY’s balance sheet in amounts that are different from the full contract or notional amount of the transactions.  For example, the Bank routinely enters into commitments to purchase MPF loans from PFIs, and issues standby letters of credit.  These commitments may represent future cash requirements of the Bank, although the standby letters of credit usually expire without being drawn upon.  For more information about contractual obligations and commitments, see financial statements, Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments

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

Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act.  On June 30, 2016, President Barack Obama signed into law the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”), Public Law No. 114-187.  PROMESA establishes a Financial Oversight and Management Board (“board”) to oversee the development of budgets and fiscal plans for Puerto Rico’s instrumentalities and government. The board may issue subpoenas, certify voluntary agreements between creditors and debtors, seek judicial enforcement of its authority, and impose penalties. The board’s responsibilities include approving the governor’s fiscal plan; approving annual budgets; enforcing budgets and ordering any necessary spending reductions; and reviewing laws, contracts, rules, regulations, or executive orders for compliance with the fiscal plan. PROMESA also establishes procedures and requirements for Puerto Rico to restructure its debt and designates the board as the representative of the debtor. The board may initiate a procedure for debt restructuring and submit or modify a plan of adjustment.  Additionally, the establishment of the board operates as an automatic stay of creditor actions to enforce claims against the government of Puerto Rico. PROMESA is not expected to materially impact the Bank’s financial condition or results of operation.

Joint Proposed Rule Regarding Net Stable Funding Ratio.  On May 3, 2016, the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), the Department of Treasury and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, jointly issued a proposed rule that would implement a stable funding requirement, the net stable funding ratio (NSFR), for large and internationally active banking organizations. The NSFR will require institutions to maintain liquidity to match their assets over a one-year time horizon. The FRB is proposing a modified NSFR requirement for bank holding companies and certain savings and loan holding companies that, in each case, have more than $50 billion, but less than $250 billion, in total consolidated assets and less than $10 billion in total on-balance sheet foreign exposure. If adopted in its current form, the proposed rule would provide that secured funding with maturities between six months and one year, including FHLBank advances, would be assigned 50% liquidity credit for purposes of calculating compliance with the NSFR, which could affect demand for the Bank’s advances.  The Council of FHLBanks provided comments to the proposed rule on August 2, 2016.

Joint Proposed Rule on Incentive-Based Compensation Arrangements. On April 26, 2016, the Finance Agency, jointly with five other federal regulators, issued the rule contemplated by Section 956 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), which requires implementation of regulations or guidelines to (1) prohibit incentive-based payment arrangements that these regulators determine encourage inappropriate risks by certain financial institutions by providing excessive compensation or that could lead to material financial loss; and (2) require those financial institutions to disclose information concerning incentive-based compensation arrangements to the appropriate federal regulator.

The proposed rule identifies three categories of institutions that would be covered by these regulations based on average total consolidated assets, applying less prescriptive incentive-based compensation program requirements to the smallest covered institutions (Level 3) and progressively more rigorous requirements to the larger covered institutions (Level 1).  The proposed rule specifies that the Bank would fall into the middle category, Level 2. The proposed rule would supplement existing Finance Agency executive compensation rules.

The proposed rule would prohibit the Bank from establishing or maintaining incentive-based compensation arrangements that encourage inappropriate risks by “senior executive officers” and “significant risk-takers” (each as defined in the proposed rule, together, “covered persons”) that could lead to a material financial loss at the Bank.

If adopted in its current form, the proposed rule would, among other things, impose requirements related to the Bank’s incentive-based compensation arrangements for covered persons, related to:

·mandatory deferrals of 50 percent and 40 percent of annual and “long-term” incentive-based compensation payments for senior executive officers and significant risk takers, respectively, over no less than 3 years for annual incentive-based compensation and 1 year for compensation awarded under a long-term incentive plan;

·risk of downward adjustment and forfeiture of awards;

·clawbacks of vested compensation; and

·limits on the maximum incentive-based compensation opportunity

The FHLBanks provided comments on the proposed rule on July 22, 2016.  The proposed rule would impact the design and operation of FHLBank compensation policies and practices, including Bank incentive compensation policies and practices, if adopted as proposed.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

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

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

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

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

·The option-adjusted DOE is limited to a range of +2.0 years to -3.5 years in the rates unchanged case, and to a range of +/-6.0 years in the +/-200bps shock cases.  Due to the low interest rate environment beginning in early 2008, rates at June 2015, September 2015, December 2015, March 2016 and June 2016 were too low for a meaningful parallel down-shock measurement.

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

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

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

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

Our portfolio, including derivatives, is tracked and the overall mismatch between assets and liabilities is summarized by using a DOE measure.  Our last five quarterly DOE results are shown in years in the table below (due to the on-going low interest rate environment, there was no down-shock measurement performed between the second quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2016):

	Base Case DOE	-200bps DOE	+200bps DOE
June 30, 2016	-1.08	N/A	0.60
March 31, 2016	-0.80	N/A	0.36
December 31, 2015	-0.61	N/A	0.84
September 30, 2015	-1.02	N/A	0.88
June 30, 2015	-0.35	N/A	1.02

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

105

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

	One Year Re-pricing Gap
June 30, 2016	$	5.994 Billion
March 31, 2016	$	5.659 Billion
December 31, 2015	$	5.640 Billion
September 30, 2015	$	5.646 Billion
June 30, 2015	$	5.323 Billion

Our review of potential interest rate risk issues also includes the effect of changes in interest rates on expected net income.  We project asset and liability volumes and spreads over a one-year horizon and then simulate expected income and expenses from those volumes and other inputs.  The effects of changes in interest rates are measured to test whether the portfolio has too much exposure in its net interest income over the coming 12-month period.  To measure the effect, the change to the spread in the shocks is calculated and compared against the base case and subjected to a -15 percent limit.  The quarterly sensitivity of our expected net interest income under both +/-200bps shocks over the next 12 months is provided in the table below (due to the ongoing low interest rate environment, the down-shock measurement was not performed between the second quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2016):

	Sensitivity in the -200bps Shock	Sensitivity in the +200bps Shock
June 30, 2016	N/A	7.99	%
March 31, 2016	N/A	9.55	%
December 31, 2015	N/A	5.01	%
September 30, 2015	N/A	8.80	%
June 30, 2015	N/A	7.33	%

Aside from net interest income, the other significant impact on changes in the interest rate environment is the potential impact on the value of the portfolio.  These calculated and quoted market values are estimated based upon their financial attributes (including optionality) and then re-estimated under the assumption that interest rates suddenly rise or fall by 200bps.  The worst effect, whether it is the up or the down shock, is compared to the internal limit of 10 percent.  The quarterly potential maximum decline in the market value of equity under these 200bps shocks is provided below (due to the ongoing low interest rate environment, the down-shock measurement was not performed between the second quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2016):

	Down-shock Change in MVE	+200bps Change in MVE
June 30, 2016	N/A	0.07	%
March 31, 2016	N/A	0.35	%
December 31, 2015	N/A	-0.49	%
September 30, 2015	N/A	0.01	%
June 30, 2015	N/A	-0.66	%

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

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: An evaluation of the Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Bank’s President and Chief Executive Officer, José R. González, and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Kevin M. Neylan, as of June 30, 2016.  Based on this evaluation, they concluded that as of June 30, 2016, the Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at a reasonable level of assurance, in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Bank in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Bank’s management (including the President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

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

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York is involved in disputes or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business.  An ongoing dispute over the termination value of multiple derivative transactions involving the FHLBNY was previously disclosed in Part I, Item 3 of the FHLBNY’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

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

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I - Item 1A - Risk Factors section of the FHLBNY’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Not applicable.

ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None.

ITEM 4.  MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) serves as the independent registered public accounting firm for us and the other FHLBs. Rule 2-01(c)(1)(ii)(A) of SEC Regulation S-X (the “Loan Rule”) prohibits an accounting firm, such as PwC, from having certain financial relationships with their audit clients and affiliated entities. Specifically, the Loan Rule provides, in the relevant part, that an accounting firm generally would not be independent if it receives a loan from a lender that is a “record or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of the audit client’s equity securities.”

PwC has advised the Bank that as of June 30, 2016 it has borrowing relationships with two Bank members (referred to below as the “Lenders”) who each own more than ten percent of the Bank’s capital stock, which is not in compliance with the Loan Rule and could call into question PwC’s independence with respect to the Bank. The Bank is providing this disclosure to explain the facts and circumstances as well as PwC’s and the Audit Committee’s conclusions concerning PwC’s objectivity and impartiality with respect to the audit of the Bank.

PwC advised the Audit Committee of the Bank that it believes that, in light of the facts of each borrowing relationship, its ability to exercise objective and impartial judgment on all matters encompassed within PwC’s audit engagement have not been impaired and that a reasonable investor with knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances would reach the same conclusion. PwC has advised the Audit Committee that this conclusion is based in part on the following considerations:

·the borrowings are in good standing and neither Lender has the right to take action against PwC, as borrower, in connection with the financings;

·the debt balances outstanding are immaterial to PwC and to each Lender;

·PwC has borrowing relationships with a diverse group of lenders, therefore PwC is not dependent on any single lender or group of lenders; and

·the PwC audit engagement team has no involvement in PwC’s treasury function and PwC’s treasury function has no oversight or ability to influence the PwC audit engagement team.

Additionally, the Audit Committee of the Bank assessed PwC’s ability to perform an objective and impartial audit, including consideration of the ownership structure of the Bank, the limited voting rights of the Bank’s members and the composition of the board of directors.  In addition to the above listed considerations, the Audit Committee considered the following:

·although each of the Lenders owned more than ten percent of the Bank’s capital stock, the voting power of each of the Lenders’ capital stock is less than ten percent; and

·as of June 30, 2016, no officer or director of either Lender serves on the Board of Directors of the Bank.

Based on the Audit Committee’s evaluation, the Audit Committee has concluded that PwC’s ability to exercise objective and impartial judgment on all issues encompassed within PwC’s audit engagement has not been impaired.

If in the future, however, PwC is ultimately determined under the Loan Rule not to be independent with respect to the Bank, or permanent relief regarding this matter is not granted by the SEC, the Bank may need to take other actions and incur other costs in order for the Bank’s previously filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q to be deemed compliant with applicable securities laws. Such actions may include, among other things, obtaining a new audit of our historical financial statements by an independent registered public accounting firm. Any of the foregoing could have an adverse impact on the Bank.

Background, Tax Status. Assessments.

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.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates.

Note   1.Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and with the instructions provided by the SEC.  The information contained in these financial statements is unaudited.  In the opinion of management, normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period results have been made.  These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the FHLBNY’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, included in Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

The FHLBNY has identified certain accounting policies that it believes are significant because they require management to make subjective judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or by using different assumptions.  These policies include estimating the allowance for credit losses on the advance and mortgage loan portfolios, evaluating the impairment of the FHLBNY’s securities portfolios, and estimating fair values of certain assets and liabilities.  There have been no significant changes to accounting policies from those identified in Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in Notes to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016, which contains a summary of the Bank’s significant accounting policies and estimates.

Recently Adopted Significant Accounting Policies

Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-05, Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships, as an amendment to Derivatives and Hedging Activities (Topic 815).  The amendments clarify that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under GAAP does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met.   The amendments provided entities with the option to apply the guidance using either a prospective approach or a modified retrospective approach, retrospectively applied to all derivative instruments that meet the specific conditions.   The FHLBNY elected to early adopt the guidance prospectively on January 1, 2016.  The adoption of this guidance had no effect on the Bank’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value (NAV) per Share (or its Equivalent).

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

Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.

In April 2015, the FASB ASU issued No. 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement to add guidance to Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software. The ASU clarifies a customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement, and provides guidance to customers on determining whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license that should be accounted for as internal-use software.  If the arrangement does not contain a software license, it would be accounted for as a service contract.  The FHLBNY adopted ASU 2015-05 prospectively on January 1, 2016, and the effect of adoption had no material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-imputation of interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.  The ASU requires a reclassification on the statement of condition of debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability from other assets to a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.  The intent is to eliminate the different presentation requirements of debt issuance cost and debt discounts and premiums, which have caused confusion among users of financial statements.  The FHLBNY adopted ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016, and has reclassified unamortized debt issuance costs from Other assets to Consolidated obligations on the Statements of Condition at December 31, 2015.  Adoption had no material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Note   2.Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

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 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.  The CECL model represents a significant departure from existing GAAP, and may result in material changes to the FHLBNY’s accounting for financial instruments.  The FHLBNY is evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.  The ASU will be effective for the FHLBNY as of January 1, 2020.  Early application is permitted for annual periods beginning January 1, 2019.

Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments.

In March 2016,  the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06, Contingent Put and Call options in Debt Instruments, as an amendment to Derivatives and Hedging Activities (Topic 815). The amendments clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts.  The guidance requires entities to apply only the four-step decision sequence when assessing whether the economic characteristics and risks of call (put) options are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of their debt hosts.  Consequently, when a call (put) option is contingently exercisable, an entity does not have to assess whether the event that triggers the ability to exercise a call (put) option is related to interest rates or credit risks.  This guidance becomes effective for the FHLBNY as of January 1, 2017, and early adoption is permitted.  The guidance should be applied on a modified retrospective basis to existing debt instruments as of the beginning of the period for which the amendments are effective.  The FHLBNY is in the process of evaluating this guidance, and does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

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.  Lessor accounting is largely unchanged.  The guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2019 with an option to early adopt.  The FHLBNY is evaluating whether to early adopt and the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial statements, regulatory capital and related disclosures.

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.  It will also require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) 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.

The guidance becomes effective for the FHLBNY as of January 1, 2018.  The amendments, in general, should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment on the statement of condition as of the beginning of the period of adoption.  The FHLBNY is in the process of evaluating this guidance, and does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40).  The final guidance requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, disclose that fact in the footnotes.  Management will also be required to evaluate and disclose whether it plans to alleviate that doubt.  The new standard defines substantial doubt as when it is probable (i.e. likely) based on management’s assessment of relevant qualitative and quantitative information and judgment that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year of the date the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued, when applicable).  The standard is effective for the FHLBNY as of January 1, 2017.  While early adoption is permitted, the FHLBNY has elected not to early adopt, but does not expect the impact of the required disclosures to have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Revenue Recognition.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  The FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) initiated a joint project to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and IFRS that would remove inconsistencies and improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and industries, and provide more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements.  The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  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.

On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to defer the effective date of the guidance issued by one year.  In 2016, the FASB has issued additional amendments to clarify certain aspects of the new revenue guidance.  However, these amendments do not change the core principle of the new revenue standard.  This guidance is effective for the FHLBNY as of January 1, 2018.  Early application is permitted only as of the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  The FHLBNY is in the process of evaluating this guidance, and does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows

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

Compensating Balances

Beginning in August 2015, the FHLBNY 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.  The balance at June 30, 2016 was $162.8 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 $52.2 million and $47.5 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The offsetting liabilities due to members were recorded in Other liabilities in the Statements of Condition.

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

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

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

Note   4.Federal Funds Sold, Interest-bearing Deposits, and SecuritiesPurchased under Agreements to Resell.

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

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

The FHLBNY had deposited $635.3 million and $370.5 million in cash at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 with derivative counterparties and these amounts earned interest generally at the overnight Federal funds rate.  As provided under master netting agreements or under a legal netting opinion, the cash posted was reclassified and recorded as a deduction to Derivative liabilities.  Cash collateral or margin posted by the FHLBNY in excess of the fair value exposures were classified as a Derivative asset.  See Credit Risk due to non-performance by counterparties in Note 15.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell — As part of the FHLBNY’s banking activities, the FHLBNY may enter into secured financing transactions that mature overnight, and can be extended only at the discretion of the FHLBNY.  These transactions involve the lending of cash, against which marketable securities are taken as collateral.  The amount of cash loaned against the collateral is a function of the liquidity and quality of the collateral.  The collateral is typically in the form of securities that meet the FHLBNY’s credit quality standards, are highly-rated and readily marketable.  The FHLBNY has the ability to call for additional collateral if the value of the securities falls below a pre-defined haircut.  The FHLBNY can terminate the transaction and liquidate the collateral if the counterparty fails to post the additional margin.  Under these agreements, the FHLBNY would not have the right to re-pledge the securities received.  No adjustments for instrument-specific credit risk were deemed necessary as market values of collateral were in excess of principal amounts loaned.

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the outstanding balances of Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell were $5.8 billion and $4.0 billion that matured overnight.  Of these amounts, $5.5 billion and $4.0 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were executed through a tri-party arrangement that involved transfer of overnight funds to a segregated safekeeping account at the Bank of New York (“BONY”); BONY, acting as an independent agent on behalf of the FHLBNY and the counterparty to the transactions, assumes the responsibility of receiving eligible securities as collateral and releasing funds to the counterparty.  At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, U.S. Treasury securities, market values of $5.5 billion and $4.0 billion were received at BONY to collateralize the overnight investments.

The remaining overnight investments of $0.3 billion were executed bilaterally with counterparties at June 30, 2016, and were collateralized by U.S Treasury securities with market values of $0.3 billion that were pledged to the FHLBNY’s custodial safekeeping account.  No overnight investments had been executed bilaterally with counterparties at December 31, 2015.

Securities purchased under agreements to resell averaged $1.7 billion and $2.4 billion in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.  For the same periods in the prior year, transaction balances averaged $1.4 billion.  Transactions recorded as Securities purchased under agreements to resell (reverse repos) were accounted as collateralized financing transactions.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, interest income from securities purchased under agreements to resell were $1.3 million and $3.5 million, compared to interest income of $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the same periods in the prior year.

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

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

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

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

Certain non-Agency Private label MBS are insured by Ambac Assurance Corp (“Ambac”), MBIA Insurance Corp (“MBIA”) and Assured Guarantee Municipal Corp., (“AGM”).  Assumptions by the FHLBNY on the extent of expected reliance by the FHLBNY on insurance support by Ambac and MBIA to make whole expected cash shortfalls are noted in Monoline insurance in a subsequent paragraph within this Note 5. Held-to-Maturity Securities.

Securities Pledged

The FHLBNY had pledged MBS with an amortized cost basis of $8.0 million and $8.7 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 to the FDIC in connection with deposits maintained by the FDIC at the FHLBNY.  The FDIC does not have rights to sell or repledge the collateral unless the FHLBNY defaults under the terms of its deposit arrangements with the FDIC.

Unrealized Losses

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

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the FHLBNY’s investments in housing finance agency bonds had gross unrealized losses of $39.6 million and $42.4 million.  Management has reviewed the portfolio and has observed that the bonds are performing to their contractual terms, and has concluded that, as of June 30, 2016, 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 included 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 fairly to the “AA municipal sector”.  Based on our review, the FHLBNY expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.  If conditions in the housing and mortgage markets and general business and economic conditions remain stressed or deteriorate further, the fair value of the bonds may decline further and the FHLBNY may experience OTTI in future periods.

Redemption Terms

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

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

The FHLBNY evaluates its individual securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and U.S. government agency, (collectively GSE-issued securities), by considering the creditworthiness and performance of the debt securities and the strength of the GSEs’ guarantees of the securities.  Based on analysis, GSE-issued securities are performing in accordance with their contractual agreements.  The FHLBNY believes that it will recover its investments in GSE- issued securities given the current levels of collateral, credit enhancements and guarantees that exist to protect the investments.

Management evaluates its investments in private-label MBS (“PLMBS”) for OTTI on a quarterly basis by performing cash flow tests on its entire portfolio of PLMBS.  For more information about cash flow impairment assessment methodology, see Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

OTTI — Two PLMBS, which had been determined to be OTTI in a prior year, were re-impaired.  Credit-related OTTI of $8 thousand was recorded in the first quarter of 2016 and $138 thousand was recorded in the second quarter of 2016.  The re-impairment was due to further deterioration in the credit performance metrics of the security.

The following table presents the key characteristics of two securities that were determined to be re-impaired and OTTI (in thousands):

	Three months ended				Three months ended					Six months ended
	June 30, 2016				June 30, 2016					June 30, 2016
	OTTI				OTTI					OTTI

RMBS-Prime	$	6,242	$	4,503	$	(138	)	$	138	$	(146	)	$	33
Total Securities	$	6,242	$	4,503	$	(138	)	$	138	$	(146	)	$	33

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

(b) Represent cumulative OTTI in the reporting periods recorded at the OTTI determination quarter end dates.  If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected (discounted at the security’s initial effective yield) is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, an OTTI is considered to have occurred because the entire amortized cost basis of the security will not be recovered.  The credit-related OTTI is recognized in earnings.  The non-credit portion of OTTI, which represents the fair value loss of an OTTI security, is recognized in AOCI.

Based on cash flow testing, the Bank believes no additional OTTI exists for the remaining investments at June 30, 2016.  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 June 30, 2016, and has concluded that it will not be required to sell such securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis of the securities.

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

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015
Beginning balance	$	31,132		$	34,121		$	31,892		$	34,893
Additional credit losses for which an OTTI charge was previously recognized	138			61			146			61
Increases in cash flows expected to be collected, recognized over the remaining life of the securities	(763		)	(832		)	(1,531		)	(1,604		)
Ending balance	$	30,507		$	33,350		$	30,507		$	33,350

Monoline insurance — Certain PLMBS owned by the FHLBNY are insured by third-party bond insurers (“monoline insurers”).  The bond insurance on these investments guarantees the timely payments of principal and interest if these payments cannot be satisfied from the cash flows of the underlying mortgage pool.  The FHLBNY performs cash flow credit impairment tests on all of its PLMBS, and the analysis of the securities protected by such third-party insurance looks first to the performance of the underlying security, and considers its embedded credit enhancements in the form of excess spread, overcollateralization, and credit subordination, to determine the collectability of all amounts due.  If the embedded credit enhancement protections are deemed insufficient to make timely payment of all amounts due, then the FHLBNY considers the capacity of the third-party bond insurer to cover any shortfalls.  Certain monoline insurers have been subject to adverse ratings, rating downgrades, and weakening financial performance measures.  In estimating the insurers’ capacity to provide credit protection in the future to cover any shortfall in cash flows expected to be collected for securities deemed to be OTTI, the FHLBNY has developed a methodology to analyze and assess the ability of the monoline insurers to meet future insurance obligations.  Based on analysis performed, the FHLBNY has determined that for bond insurer AGM, insurance guarantees can be relied upon to cover projected shortfalls.  For bond insurer MBIA, we anticipate it can be relied upon to cover projected shortfalls through December 31, 2016.  For bond insurer Ambac, the reliance period is through June 30, 2020 and is further limited to cover 45% of shortfalls.

Significant Inputs

For determining the fair values of all MBS, the FHLBNY has obtained pricing from four pricing services; the prices were clustered, averaged, and then assessed qualitatively before adopting the “final price”.  Disaggregation of the Level 3 bonds is by collateral type supporting the credit structure of the PLMBS, and the FHLBNY deems that no further disaggregation is necessary for a qualitative understanding of the sensitivity of fair values.  The table below provides a distribution of the prices, and the final price adopted for determining OTTI for the two securities deemed OTTI at June 30, 2016 (dollars in thousands except for price):

(a) The FHLBNY has a grantor trust, the intent of which is to set aside cash to meet current and future payments for a supplemental unfunded pension plan.  Neither the pension plan nor employees of the FHLBNY own the trust.  Investments in the trust are classified as AFS.  The grantor trust invests in money market, equity and fixed income and bond funds.  Daily net asset values (NAVs) are readily available and investments are redeemable at short notice.  NAVs are the fair values of the funds in the grantor trust.  The mutual funds used to manage the assets of the Grantor trust will be sufficiently liquid to enable the trust to meet all future liabilities.  Liquidity shall be assured by keeping an adequate amount of short-term investments in the portfolio to accommodate the cash needs of the trust.  Dividend income and the net realized gain from sales of funds was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $0.1 million and $0.8 million for the same periods in the prior year; amounts were recorded in Other income in the Statements of Income.

(b) Recorded in AOCI — Net unrealized fair value gains were $4.9 million at June 30, 2016 and $9.3 million at December 31, 2015.

Unrealized Losses — MBS Classified as AFS Securities

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

Redemption Terms

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

(a) The weighted average yield is the weighted average coupon rates for advances, unadjusted for swaps.  For floating-rate advances, the weighted average rate is the rate outstanding at the reporting dates.

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

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

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

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

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

Concentration of Advances Outstanding.  Advances to the FHLBNY’s top ten borrowing member institutions are reported in Note 19.  Segment Information and Concentration.  The FHLBNY held sufficient collateral to cover the advances to all institutions and it does not expect to incur any credit losses.  Advances borrowed by insurance companies accounted for 20.1% and 17.0% of total advances at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Lending to insurance companies poses a number of unique risks not present in lending to federally insured depository institutions.  For example, there is no single federal regulator for insurance companies.  They are supervised by state regulators and subject to state insurance codes and regulations.  There is uncertainty about whether a state insurance commissioner would try to void the FHLBNY’s claims on collateral in the event of an insurance company failure.  As with all members, insurance companies are also required to purchase the FHLBNY’s capital stock as a prerequisite to membership.  The FHLBNY’s management takes a number of steps to mitigate the unique risk of lending to insurance companies.  At the time of membership, the FHLBNY requires an insurance company to be highly-rated and to meet the FHLBNY’s credit quality standards.  The FHLBNY performs credit analysis of insurance borrowers quarterly.  The FHLBNY also requires member insurance companies to pledge, as collateral for the FHLBNY’s custody, highly-rated readily marketable securities and mortgages that meet the FHLBNY’s credit quality standards.  Appropriate minimum margins are applied to all collateral, and the margins are reviewed quarterly to adjust for price volatility.  However, for certain high credit quality insurance companies, the FHLBNY may allow mortgage as collateral, provided the collateral and collateral listings are in the custody of a third party safekeeping agent, and the insurance company fulfills all other standard terms and conditions.

Security Terms.  The FHLBNY lends to financial institutions involved in housing finance within its district.  Borrowing members pledge their capital stock of the FHLBNY as additional collateral for advances.  As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the FHLBNY had rights to collateral with an estimated value greater than outstanding advances.  Based upon the financial condition of the member, the FHLBNY:

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

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

Beyond these provisions, Section 10(e) of the FHLBank Act affords any security interest granted by a member to the FHLBNY’s priority over the claims or rights of any other party.  The two exceptions are claims that would be entitled to priority under otherwise applicable law or perfected security interests.  All member obligations with the FHLBNY were fully collateralized throughout their entire term.  The total of collateral pledged to the FHLBNY includes excess collateral pledged above the minimum collateral requirements.  However, a “Maximum Lendable Value” is established to ensure that the FHLBNY has sufficient eligible collateral securing credit extensions.

Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio.

Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio.

Note 8.Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio.

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

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

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

	June 30, 2016					December 31, 2015

Total mortgage loans held-for-portfolio	2,632,672					2,524,611
Allowance for credit losses	(1,466		)			(326		)
Total mortgage loans held-for-portfolio, net of allowance for credit losses	$	2,631,206				$	2,524,285

(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 is recorded at the settlement of the loan and represents the difference in trade price paid for acquiring the loan and the price at the settlement date for a similar loan.  The basis is amortized as a yield adjustment to Interest income.

The FHLBNY and its members share the credit risk of MPF loans by structuring potential credit losses into layers.  The first layer is typically 100 basis points, but this varies with the particular MPF product.  The amount of the first layer, or First Loss Account (“FLA”), was estimated at $28.5 million and $27.1 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The FLA is not recorded or reported as a reserve for loan losses, as it serves as a memorandum or information account.  The FHLBNY is responsible for absorbing the first layer.  The second layer is that amount of credit obligations that the PFI has taken on which will equate the loan to a double-A rating.  The FHLBNY pays a credit enhancement fee to the PFI for taking on this obligation.  The FHLBNY assumes all residual risk.  Credit enhancement fees accrued were $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the same periods in the prior year.  These fees were reported as a reduction to mortgage loan interest income.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Allowance Methodology for Loan Losses

Mortgage loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the FHLBNY will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage loan agreements.  The FHLBNY considers the occurrence of a serious delinquency, 90 days or more delinquent, as a primary confirming event of a credit loss.  Bankruptcy and foreclosures are also considered as confirming events.  When a loan is past due 90 days or more, or is in bankruptcy or in foreclosure, the FHLBNY measures estimated credit losses on an individual loan basis.  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 for estimated credit losses on a collective basis.  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.  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.

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 certain 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 loss on loans that are modified, as we consider such loans as TDR.  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.  Prior to the first quarter of 2016, the result of the migration analysis was used as a qualitative measure to supplement and to corroborate credit loss allowance that was performed on a loan level basis.  Beginning with the first quarter of 2016, the FHLBNY records the results of loans collectively evaluated for impairment utilizing the migration analysis, and an additional allowance of $1.0 million was recorded as a charge to earnings, with a corresponding increase in allowance for 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 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 a loss is incurred, the FHLBNY would withhold CE fee payments to the PFI associated with the loan that is in a loss position.  The amount withheld would be commensurate with the credit loss and the loss layer for which the PFI has assumed the credit enhancement responsibility.  The FHLBNY’s loss experience has been insignificant and amounts of CE fees withheld have been insignificant 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):

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,

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

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

Mortgage Loans — Interest on Non-performing Loans

The table summarizes interest income that was not recognized in earnings.  It also summarizes the actual cash that was received against interest due, but not recognized (in thousands):

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015

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

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

(c) Interest received is not recorded as Interest income if an uninsured loan is past due 90 days or more.  Cash received is recorded as a liability on the assumption that cash was remitted by the servicer to the FHLBNY that could potentially be recouped by the borrower in a foreclosure.

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

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

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) and MPF Modification Standards.  Troubled debt restructuring is considered to have occurred when a concession is granted to a borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties and that concession would not have been otherwise considered.  Effective August 1, 2009, the MPF program introduced a temporary loan payment modification plan for participating PFIs, which was initially available until December 31, 2011 and has been extended through December 31, 2017.  This modification plan was made available to homeowners currently in default or imminent danger of default and only a few MPF loans had been modified under the plan and outstanding at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Due to the insignificant numbers of loans modified and considered to be a TDR, forgiveness and other information with respect to the modifications have been omitted. Loans modified under this program are considered impaired.  The allowance for credit losses on those impaired loans were evaluated individually, and the allowance balances were $0.2 million and $0.1 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  A loan involved in the MPF modification program is individually evaluated by the FHLBNY for impairment when determining its related allowance for credit losses.  A modified loan is considered a TDR until the modified loan is performing to its original terms.

The FHLBNY measures all estimated credit losses based on the liquidation value of the real property collateral supporting the impaired loan after deducting costs to liquidate.  That value is compared to the carrying value of the impaired mortgage loan, and a shortfall is recorded as an allowance for credit losses.

Loans discharged from bankruptcy — The FHLBNY includes MPF loans discharged from Chapter 7 bankruptcy as TDRs; $10.6 million and $10.7 million of such loans were outstanding at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The FHLBNY has determined that the discharge of mortgage debt in bankruptcy is a concession as defined under existing accounting literature for TDRs.  A loan discharged from bankruptcy is assessed for credit impairment only if past due 90 days or more, and $1.0 million were deemed impaired due to their past due delinquency status at June 30, 2016.  The allowance for credit losses associated with those loans was immaterial as the loans were well collateralized.

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

Consolidated Obligations.

Consolidated Obligations.

Note 10.Consolidated Obligations.

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

The Finance Agency, at its discretion, may require any FHLBank to make principal or interest payments due on any consolidated obligations.  Although it has never occurred, to the extent that a FHLBank would make a payment on a consolidated obligation on behalf of another FHLBank, the paying FHLBank would be entitled to reimbursement from the non-complying FHLBank.  However, if the Finance Agency determines that the non-complying FHLBank is unable to satisfy its obligations, then the Finance Agency may allocate the outstanding liability among the remaining FHLBanks on a pro rata basis in proportion to each FHLBank’s participation in all consolidated obligations outstanding, or on any other basis the Finance Agency may determine.  Based on management’s review, the FHLBNY has no reason to record actual or contingent liabilities with respect to the occurrence of events or circumstances that would require the FHLBNY to assume an obligation on behalf of other FHLBanks.  The par amounts of the FHLBanks’ outstanding consolidated obligations, including consolidated obligations held by other FHLBanks, were approximately $1.0 trillion and $0.9 trillion as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Finance Agency regulations require the FHLBanks to maintain, in the aggregate, unpledged qualifying assets equal to the consolidated obligations outstanding.  Qualifying assets are defined as cash; secured advances; obligations, participations, mortgages, or other securities of or issued by the United States or an agency of the United States; and securities in which fiduciary and trust funds may invest under the laws of the state in which the FHLBank is located.

The FHLBNY met the qualifying unpledged asset requirements as follows:

Percentage of unpledged qualifying assets to consolidated obligations	107	%	107	%

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

(b) Amortization of bond premiums and discounts resulted in net reduction of Interest expense by $3.5 million and $7.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $5.3 million and $10.6 million for the same periods in the prior year.

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

(d) Hedge basis adjustments on terminated hedges represent the unamortized balances of valuation basis of fixed-rate bonds that were previously in a fair value hedging relationship.  Generally, when a hedging relationship is de-designated, the valuation basis is no longer adjusted for changes in the valuation of the debt for changes in the benchmark rate; instead, the basis is amortized over the debt’s remaining life, so that at its maturity, the unamortized basis is reversed to $0.  The unamortized basis was $143.0 million and $145.5 million at June 30, 2016 and at December 31, 2015.  Amortization was recorded as a yield adjustment, which reduced Interest expenses by $1.5 million and $2.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $1.4 million and $2.8 million for the same periods in the prior year.

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

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

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

Note 12.Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and RestrictedRetained Earnings.

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

The FHLBNY’s Capital Plan offers two sub-classes of Class B capital stock, membership and activity-based capital stock.

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

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

Membership and Activity-based Class B capital stock have the same voting rights and dividend rates.  Members can redeem Class B stock by giving five years notice.  The FHLBNY’s capital plan does not provide for the issuance of Class A capital stock.

The FHLBNY is subject to risk-based capital rules.  Specifically, the FHLBNY is subject to three capital requirements under its capital plan.  First, the FHLBNY must maintain at all times permanent capital in an amount at least equal to the sum of its credit risk, market risk, and operations risk capital requirements as calculated in accordance with the FHLBNY policy, and rules and regulations of the Finance Agency.  Only permanent capital, defined as Class B stock and retained earnings, satisfies this risk-based capital requirement.  The Finance Agency may require the FHLBNY to maintain an amount of permanent capital greater than what is required by the risk-based capital requirements.  In addition, the FHLBNY is required to maintain at least a 4.0% total capital-to-asset ratio and at least a 5.0% leverage ratio at all times.  The FHFA’s regulatory leverage ratio is defined as the sum of permanent capital weighted 1.5 times and non-permanent capital weighted 1.0 times divided by total assets.

The FHLBNY was in compliance with the aforementioned capital rules and requirements for all periods presented, and met the “adequately capitalized” classification, which is the highest rating, under the capital rule.  However, the Finance Agency has discretion to reclassify a FHLBank and to modify or add to the corrective action requirements for a particular capital classification.  If the FHLBNY became classified into a capital classification other than adequately capitalized, the Bank could be adversely impacted by the corrective action requirements for that capital classification.  For more information about the capital rules under the Finance Agency regulations and a discussion of any corrective actions, see Note 12.  Capital Stock, Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock and Restricted Retained Earnings in the audited financial statements included in our most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

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

	Required (d)			Actual			Required (d)			Actual
Regulatory capital requirements:
Risk-based capital (a)(e)	$	695,167		$	7,018,858		$	691,580		$	6,874,668

Leverage capital (c)	$	6,436,288		$	10,528,287		$	6,162,420		$	10,312,002

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

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

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

(d) Required minimum.

(e) Under regulatory guidelines issued by the Finance Agency 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 Treasury securities and other securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, government agencies, and government-sponsored entities for purposes of calculating risk-based capital.

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock

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

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

(b) The annualized accrual rate was 4.50% for three months ended June 30, 2016 and 4.10% for three months ended June 30, 2015.

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 $338.1 million and $303.1 million of Restricted retained earnings in the FHLBNY’s Total Capital at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Note 15.Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

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

Derivative contracts hedging the risks associated with the changes in fair value are referred to as Fair value hedges, while contracts hedging the risks affecting the expected future cash flows are called Cash flow hedges.  For more information, see Derivatives in Note 1. Significant Accounting Polices and Estimates in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

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

We use derivatives in three ways — by designating them as a fair value or cash flow hedge of an underlying financial instrument or a forecasted transaction that qualifies for hedge accounting treatment; by acting as an intermediary; or by designating the derivative as an asset-liability management hedge (i.e. an “economic hedge”).

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 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 flows are not effective, changes in their fair values are immediately included 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.

Principal hedging activities are summarized below:

Consolidated Obligations

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

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

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

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

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

· Cash flow hedges of “Anticipated Consolidated Bond Issuance” — The FHLBNY enters into interest-rate swaps to hedge the anticipated issuance of debt, and to “lock in” the interest to be paid for the cost of funding.

The swaps are terminated upon issuance of the debt instrument, and gains or losses upon termination are recorded in AOCI.  Gains and losses are reclassified to earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows of the debt that was issued.

· Cash flow hedges of “Rolling Issuance of Discount Notes” — The FHLBNY executes long-term pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps as hedges of the variable quarterly interest payments on the discount note borrowing program.  In this program, we issue a series of discount notes with 91-day terms over periods typically up to 15 years.  We will continue issuing new 91-day discount notes over the terms of the swaps as each outstanding discount note matures.  The interest rate swaps require a settlement every 91 days, and the variable rate, which is based on the 3-month LIBOR, is reset immediately following each payment.  The swaps are expected to eliminate the risk of variability of cash flows for each forecasted discount note issuance every 91 days.  The fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded in AOCI and ineffectiveness, if any, is recorded in earnings.  Amounts recorded in AOCI are reclassified to earnings in the same periods in which interest expenses are affected by the variability of the cash flows of the discount notes.

Economic hedges of consolidated obligation debt — When we issue variable-rate consolidated obligation bonds indexed to 1-month LIBOR, the U.S. Prime rate, or Federal funds rate, we will generally simultaneously execute interest-rate swaps (“basis swaps”) to hedge the basis risk of the variable rate debt to 3-month LIBOR, the FHLBNY’s preferred funding base.  The basis swaps are designated as economic hedges of the floating-rate bonds.  The choice of an economic hedge is made because the FHLBNY has determined that the operational cost of designating the hedges under accounting standards for derivatives and hedge accounting would outweigh the accounting benefits.  In this economic hedge, only the interest rate swap is carried at fair value, with changes in fair values recorded though earnings.

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

Advances

We offer a wide array of advances structures to meet members’ funding needs.  These advances may have maturities up to 30 years with fixed or adjustable rates and may include early termination features or options.  We may use derivatives to adjust the repricing and/or options characteristics of advances to more closely match the characteristics of its funding liabilities.

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

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

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

Economic hedges of variable rate capped advances — We offer variable rate advances with an embedded option that caps the interest rate payable by the borrower.  The FHLBNY would typically offset the risk presented by the embedded cap by executing a matching standalone cap.

Mortgage Loans

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

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

Member Intermediation

To meet the hedging needs of its members, the FHLBNY acts as an intermediary between the members and the other counterparties.  This intermediation allows smaller members to access the derivatives market.  The derivatives used in intermediary activities do not qualify for hedge accounting, and fair value changes are recorded in earnings.  Since the FHLBNY mitigates the fair value exposure of these positions by executing identical offsetting transactions, the net impact in earnings is not significant.  The notional principal of interest rate swaps outstanding were $126.0 million and $31.0 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The FHLBNY’s exposure with respect to the transactions with members was fully collateralized.

Other Economic Hedges

The derivatives in economic hedges are considered freestanding and changes in the fair values of the swaps are recorded through income.  In general, economic hedges comprised of (1) interest rate caps to hedge balance sheet risk, specifically interest rate risk from certain capped floating rate investment securities, and (2) interest rate swaps that had previously qualified as hedges under the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging, but had been subsequently de-designated from hedge accounting as they were assessed as being not highly effective hedges.

Credit Risk Due to Non-performance by Counterparties

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

Derivatives are instruments that derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates and other inputs, or a combination of these factors.  The FHLBNY executes derivatives with swap dealers and financial institution swap counterparties as negotiated contracts, which are usually referred to as over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives.  The majority of OTC derivative contracts are primarily bilateral contracts between the FHLBNY and the swap counterparties that are executed and settled bilaterally with counterparties, rather than settling the transaction with a derivative clearing organization (“DCO”).  Certain of the FHLBNY’s OTC derivatives are executed bilaterally with executing swap counterparties, then cleared and settled through one or more DCOs as mandated under the Dodd-Frank Act.  When transacting a derivative for clearing, the FHLBNY utilizes a designated clearing agent, the Futures Clearing Merchant (“FCM”) that acts on behalf of the FHLBNY to clear and settle the interest rate exchange transaction through the DCO.  Once the transaction is accepted for clearing by the FCM, acting in the capacity of an intermediary between the FHLBNY and the DCO, the original transaction between the FHLBNY and the executing swap counterparty is extinguished, and is replaced by an identical transaction between the FHLBNY and the DCO.  The DCO becomes the counterparty to the FHLBNY.  However, the FCM remains as the principal operational contact and interacts with the DCO through the life cycle events of the derivative transaction on behalf of the FHLBNY.

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

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

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities — Net Presentation

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

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

(b) Total net amount represents net unsecured amounts of Derivative assets and liabilities recorded in the Statements of Condition at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The amounts primarily represent (1) the aggregate credit support thresholds that were waived under ISDA Credit Support and Master netting agreements between the FHLBNY and derivative counterparties for uncleared derivative contracts, and (2) Initial margins posted by the FHLBNY to DCO on cleared derivative transactions.  It does not include non-cash collateral received or pledged.

(c) Non-Cash collateral received or pledged not offset — Bilateral derivative: certain counterparties have pledged U.S. treasury securities to collateralize FHLBNY’S exposure.  Delivery commitments - amounts represent exposure arising from derivative positions with member counterparties where we acted as an intermediary, and a small amount of delivery commitments (see footnote a).  Amounts are collateralized by pledged non-cash collateral, primarily 1-4 family housing collateral.

(d) Represents net exposure after applying non-cash collateral pledged to the FHLBNY.

The gross derivative exposure, as represented by derivatives in fair value gain positions for the FHLBNY, before netting and offsetting cash collateral, was $702.9 million at June 30, 2016 and $593.6 million at December 31, 2015.  Fair value amounts that were netted as a result of master netting agreements, or as a result of a determination that netting requirements had been met (including obtaining a legal analysis supporting the enforceability of the netting for cleared OTC derivatives), were $378.7 million and $412.0 million at those dates.  These netting adjustments included $82.2 million and $329.9 million in cash posted by counterparties to mitigate the FHLBNY’s exposures at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and the net exposures after offsetting adjustments were $324.3 million and $181.7 million at those dates.

Derivative counterparties are also exposed to credit losses resulting from potential non-performance risk of the FHLBNY with respect to derivative contracts, and their exposure, due to a potential default or non-performance by the FHLBNY, is measured by derivatives in a fair value loss position from the FHLBNY’s perspective (and a gain position from the counterparty’s perspective).  At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, net fair values of derivatives in unrealized loss positions were $197.4 million and $210.1 million, after deducting $635.3 million and $370.5 million of cash collateral posted to the exposed counterparties.

With respect to cleared derivatives, cash posted to the DCOs were in excess of required margins, primarily due to the requirement to post Initial margin.  The DCOs were exposed to the extent of the failure of the FHLBNY to deliver cash margin, which is typically paid one day following the execution of a cleared derivative, and that specific exposure was not significant at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

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

(d) At June 30, 2016, counterparties had pledged U.S. government treasury security as collateral; no securities had been pledged to the FHLBNY at December 31, 2015.

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 recorded in earnings in Other income (loss), the changes in the fair value changes of the swaps are recorded as a Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities.  Fair value changes of debt and advances elected under the FVO are recorded as an Unrealized (losses) or gains from Instruments held at fair value.

(a) Cash flow hedges of anticipated issuance of consolidated obligation bonds.

Changes in period recognized in AOCI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and the same periods in the prior year — Cash flow hedges executed in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 resulted in net unrecognized losses of $0.7 million and $1.7 million from contracts that were closed in the reporting periods.  In the same periods in the prior year, contracts that were closed resulted in net unrecognized gains of $0.4 million and net unrecognized losses of $0.9 million.  Unrecognized gains and losses in AOCI are amortized and reclassified to interest income and expense with an offset to the cumulative balance in AOCI.  Open swap contracts under this hedging strategy were $25.0 million and $35.0 million in notional amounts at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The fair values recorded in AOCI were unrealized losses of $0.7 million and $0.1 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  There were no open contracts at June 30, 2015.  See Statements of Comprehensive Income for more information.

Cumulative unamortized balance in AOCI — The balance in AOCI of cumulative net unrecognized losses from hedges of anticipatory issuance strategy was $6.4 million at June 30, 2016, $5.7 million at June 30, 2015 and $5.8 million at December 31, 2015.

Amount Reclassified to Earnings — Amounts represented amortization of unrecognized losses from previously closed contracts that were a charge to interest expense and an offset to reduce the unamortized balance in AOCI.

Ineffectiveness Recognized in Earnings — Amounts were immaterial, and represented cash flow hedge ineffectiveness that were recorded in earnings in Other income as a fair value loss or gain from hedging activities.

(b) Hedges of discount notes in rolling issuances

Changes in period recognized in AOCI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 — Amounts represented period-over-period change in the fair values of open swap contracts in the cash flow hedging strategy.  Open swap contracts under this strategy were notional amounts of $1.6 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The fair values changes recorded in AOCI were net unrealized losses of $22.0 million and $77.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to net unrealized gains of $30.6 million and $9.8 million for the same periods in the prior year.  The cash flow hedges mitigated exposure to the variability in future cash flows over a maximum period of 15 years.

Cumulative unamortized balance in AOCI — The balance in AOCI of cumulative net unrecognized losses from hedges of discount notes in rolling issuances was $163.1 million at June 30, 2016, $71.0 million at June 30, 2015 and $85.2 million at December 31, 2015.

(c) Ineffectiveness recognized in earnings — Only 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, $1.9 million of the unrecognized loss in AOCI will be recognized as a yield adjustment (expense) 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 so that the inputs may not be market based and observable.

Fair Value Hierarchy

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Summary of Valuation Techniques and Primary Inputs

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

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

Cash and Due from Banks — The estimated fair values approximate the recorded book balances, and are considered to be within the Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

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

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

Mortgage-backed securities — The FHLBNY’s valuation technique incorporates prices from up to four designated third-party pricing services, when available.  The FHLBNY’s base investment pricing methodology establishes a median price for each security using a formula that is based on the number of prices received.  If four prices are received from the four pricing vendors, the average of the two middle prices is used; if three prices are received, the middle price is used; if two prices are received, the average of the two prices is used; and if one price is received, it is used subject to further validation.  Vendor prices that are outside of a defined tolerance threshold of the median price are identified as outliers and subject to additional review, including, but not limited to, comparison to prices provided by an additional third-party valuation service, prices for similar securities, and/or non-binding dealer estimates, or use of internal model prices, which are deemed to be reflective of all relevant facts and circumstances that a market participant would consider.  Such analysis is also applied in those limited instances where no third-party vendor price or only one third-party vendor price is available in order to arrive at an estimated fair value.  In its analysis, the FHLBNY employs the concept of cluster pricing and cluster tolerances.  Once the median prices are computed from the four pricing vendors, the second step is to determine which of the sourced prices fall within the required tolerance level interval to the median price, which forms the “cluster” of prices to be averaged.  This average will determine a “default” price for the security.  The cluster tolerance guidelines shall be reviewed annually and may be revised as necessary.  To be included among the cluster, at June 30, 2016, each price must fall within 7 points (7 points at December 31, 2015) of the median price for residential PLMBS and within 2 points (2 points at December 31, 2015) of the median price for GSE-issued MBS.  The final step is to determine the final price of the security based on the cluster average and an evaluation of any outlier prices.  If the analysis confirms that an outlier is not representative of fair value and that the average of the vendor prices within the tolerance threshold of the median price is the best estimate, then the average of the vendor prices within the tolerance threshold of the median price is used as the final price.  If, on the other hand, an outlier (or some other price identified in the analysis) is determined to be a better estimate of fair value, then the outlier (or the other price as appropriate) is used as the final price.  In all cases, the final price is used to determine the fair value of the security.

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

Based on the FHLBNY’s review processes, management has concluded that inputs into the pricing models employed by pricing services for the FHLBNY’s investments in GSE securities are market based and observable and are considered to be within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  The valuation of the private-label securities, all designated as held-to-maturity, may require pricing services to use significant inputs that are subjective and are considered to be within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  This determination was made based on management’s view that the private-label instruments may not have an active market because of the specific vintage of the securities as well as inherent conditions surrounding the trading of private-label MBS, so that the inputs may not be market based and observable.  At June 30, 2016, two held-to-maturity private-label MBS were deemed OTTI but not written down to its fair value as their fair values are greater than carrying values. Thus they were not classified on a nonrecurring basis as Level 3 financial instruments under the valuation hierarchy.  At December 31, 2015, one held-to-maturity private -label MBS was deemed OTTI and was written down to its fair values, so that its carrying values recorded in the balance sheet equaled its fair values, which was classified on a nonrecurring basis as Level 3 financial instruments under the valuation hierarchy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The FHLBNY creates an internal curve, which is interpolated from its advance rates.  Advance rates are calculated by applying a spread to an underlying “base curve” derived from the FHLBNY’s cost of funds, which is based on the CO Curve, inputs to which have been determined to be market observable and classified as Level 2.  The spreads applied to the base advance pricing curve typically represent the FHLBNY’s mark-ups over the FHLBNY’s cost of funds, and are not market observable inputs, but are based on the FHLBNY’s advance pricing strategy.  Such inputs have been classified as a Level 3 input, 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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  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.

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

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

Mortgage Loans (MPF Loans)

A. Principal and/or Most Advantageous Market and Market Participants — MPF Loans

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

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

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

B.  Fair Value at Initial Recognition — MPF Loans

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

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

C. Valuation Technique, Inputs and Hierarchy

The FHLBNY calculates the fair value of the entire mortgage loan portfolio using a valuation technique referred to as the “market approach”.  Loans are aggregated into synthetic pass-through securities based on product type, loan origination year, gross coupon and loan term.  The fair values are based on TBA rates (or agency commitment rates), as discussed above, adjusted primarily for seasonality.  TBA and agency commitment rates are market observable and therefore classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.  However, many of the credit and default risk related inputs involved with the valuation techniques described above may be considered unobservable due to a variety of reasons (e.g., lack of market activity for a particular loan, inherent judgment involved in property estimates).  If unobservable inputs are considered significant, the loans would be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, fair values were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

The fair values of impaired MPF are generally based on collateral values less estimated selling costs.  Collateral values are generally based on broker price opinions, and any significant adjustments to apply a haircut value on the underlying collateral value would be considered to be an unobservable Level 3 input.  The FHLBNY’s mortgage loan historical loss experience has been insignificant, and expected credit losses are insignificant.  Level 3 inputs, if any, are generally insignificant to the total measurement, and therefore the measurement of most loans may be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.  At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, fair values of credit impaired loans were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy as significant inputs to value collateral were also considered to be observable.  During the six months ended June 30, 2016, certain loans that were delinquent for 180 days or more had been charged-off and loans were recorded at their fair values of $2.0 million on a non-recurring basis as a Level 2 financial instruments as significant inputs to value collateral were considered to be observable.

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

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

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

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

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

Derivative Assets and Liabilities — The FHLBNY’s derivatives (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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

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.  Previously, the FHLBNY used the 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) curve as the relevant benchmark curve for its derivatives and as the discounting rate for these collateralized interest-rate related derivatives.

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

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

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

As a result of these practices and agreements and the FHLBNY’s assessment of any change in its own credit spread, the FHLBNY has concluded that the impact of the credit differential between the FHLBNY and its derivative counterparties and DCO was sufficiently mitigated to an immaterial level that no credit adjustments were deemed necessary to the recorded fair value of Derivative assets and Derivative liabilities in the Statements of Condition at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

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

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

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

Control processes — The FHLBNY employs control processes to validate the fair value of its financial instruments, including those derived from valuation models.  These control processes are designed to ensure that the values used for financial reporting are based on observable inputs wherever possible.  In the event that observable inputs are not available, the control processes are designed to ensure that the valuation approach utilized is appropriate and consistently applied and that the assumptions are reasonable.  These control processes include reviews of the pricing model’s theoretical soundness and appropriateness by specialists with relevant expertise who are independent from the trading desks or personnel who were involved in the design and selection of model inputs.  Additionally, groups that are independent from the trading desk, or personnel involved in the design and selection of model inputs participate in the review and validation of the fair values generated from the valuation model.  The FHLBNY maintains an ongoing review of its valuation models and has a formal model validation policy in addition toprocedures for the approval and control of data inputs.  The FHLBNY has concluded that valuation models are performing to industry standards and its valuation capabilities remain robust and dependable.

Fair Value Measurement

The tables below present the fair value of those assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, by level within the fair value hierarchy.  The FHLBNY also measures certain held-to-maturity securities and mortgage loans at fair value on a non-recurring basis when a credit loss is recognized and the carrying value of the asset is adjusted to fair value.  Other real estate owned (ORE) is measured at fair value when the asset’s fair value less costs to sell is lower than its carrying amount.  Generally, non-recurring items have not been material for the FHLBNY.

Fair values of Held-to-Maturity Securities on a Nonrecurring Basis — Two held-to-maturity PLMBS were determined to be OTTI but were not measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2016 as their fair values were above the carrying values.  In accordance with the guidance on recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairment, held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities that are determined to be credit impaired are required to be recorded at their fair values in the Statements of Condition.  For more information, see Note 5.  Held-to-Maturity Securities.

Mortgage loans and “Real estate owned” — Fair values recorded on a non-recurring basis during the period ended on the reporting dates.  During the six months ended June 30, 2016, certain loans that were delinquent for 180 days or more were partially charged-off and the loans were recorded at their fair values of $2.0 million on a non-recurring basis.  Real estate owned (“Foreclosed”) properties, with fair values of $0.4 million was recorded on a non-recurring basis during the same period.

Fair Value Option Disclosures

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

The FHLBNY has elected the FVO for certain advances and certain consolidated obligations that either do not qualify for hedge accounting or may be at risk for not meeting hedge effectiveness requirements, primarily in an effort to mitigate the potential income statement volatility that can arise from economic hedging relationships in which the carrying value of the hedged item is not adjusted for changes in fair value.  Advances have also been elected under the FVO when analysis indicated that changes in the fair values of the advance would be an offset to fair value volatility of debt elected under the FVO.  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 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and the same periods in the prior year, and at December 31, 2015.

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, and intermediate-term fixed-rate advances.  The elections were made primarily as a natural fair value offset to debt elected under the FVO.

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

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

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 and $0.9 trillion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Standby letters of credit are executed for a fee on behalf of members to facilitate residential housing, community lending, and members’ asset/liability management or to provide liquidity.  A standby letter of credit is a financing arrangement between the FHLBNY and its member.  Members assume an unconditional obligation to reimburse the FHLBNY for value given by the FHLBNY to the beneficiary under the terms of the standby letter of credit.  The FHLBNY may, in its discretion, permit the member to finance repayment of their obligation by receiving a collateralized advance.

Outstanding standby letters of credit were approximately $12.0 billion and $12.5 billion as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and had original terms of up to 15 years, with a final expiration in 2019.  Standby letters of credit are fully collateralized.  Unearned fees on standby letters of credit are recorded in Other liabilities, and were $1.1 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

MPF Program — Under the MPF program, the FHLBNY was unconditionally obligated to purchase $24.6 million and $14.8 million of mortgage loans at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Commitments were generally for periods not to exceed 45 business days.  Such commitments were recorded as derivatives at their fair values in compliance with the provisions of the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging.  The FHLBNY also has executed conditional agreements with its members in the MPF program to purchase $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion of mortgage loans at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Derivative contracts — When the FHLBNY executes derivatives with major financial institutions that are not eligible to be cleared under the CFTC rules, the FHLBNY and the swap counterparties enter into bilateral collateral agreements.  When the FHLBNY executes derivatives that are eligible to be cleared, the FHLBNY and the FCMs, acting as agents of Derivative Clearing Organization or DCO, would enter into margin agreements.  When counterparties (including the DCOs) are exposed, the FHLBNY posts cash collateral to mitigate the counterparty’s credit exposure; the FHLBNY had posted $635.3 million and $370.5 million in cash with derivative counterparties as pledged collateral at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and these amounts were reported as a deduction to Derivative liabilities.  Further information is provided in Note 15.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

(a) Contractual obligations related to interest payments on long-term debt were calculated by applying the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding long-term debt at June 30, 2016 to the contractual payment obligations on long-term debt for each forecasted period disclosed in the table.  The FHLBNY’s overall weighted average contractual interest rate for long-term debt was 0.95% at June 30, 2016.  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) In the second quarter of 2016, we signed a new lease for our New York City office that will be effective in September 2017.

(c) Includes accounts payable and accrued expenses, Pass-through reserves at the FRB on behalf of certain members of the FHLBNY recorded in Other liabilities.  Also includes projected payment obligations for pension plans.  For more information about these employee retirement plans, see Note 14.  Employee Retirement Plans.

For all other premises, and lease obligations and remote backup site obligations, see Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

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

Impact of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers

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

On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (“LBHI”), the parent company of Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. (“LBSF”), filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York. LBSF filed for protection under Chapter 11 on October 3, 2008.  A Chapter 11 plan became effective on March 6, 2012.

At the time of LBHI’s bankruptcy filing, the FHLBNY had 356 interest rate swap and other derivative transactions outstanding with LBSF, with a total notional amount of $16.5 billion.  LBHI guaranteed LBSF’s contractual obligations to the FHLBNY.  On September 18, 2008, the FHLBNY terminated these transactions as permitted in the wake of LBHI’s bankruptcy filing.  The FHLBNY provided LBSF with a calculation showing that LBSF owed the FHLBNY approximately $65 million as a result of the termination, after giving effect to collateral posted by the FHLBNY with LBSF.  The FHLBNY filed timely proofs of claim as a creditor of LBSF and LBHI in the bankruptcy proceedings.  Given the dispute described below, the FHLBNY fully reserved the LBSF and LBHI receivables, as the timing and amount of any recovery is uncertain.

On July 23, 2010, the FHLBNY received a notice from LBSF claiming that the FHLBNY improperly calculated the termination payment, and that the FHLBNY owed LBSF a substantial amount.  Pursuant to bankruptcy court procedures, the parties mediated their dispute commencing in late 2010 and again in early 2015.  Both mediations concluded without a settlement.

On May 13, 2015, LBHI, on behalf of itself and LBSF, filed a complaint against the FHLBNY in the bankruptcy court, alleging, among other things, that the FHLBNY’s calculation of the termination payment breached its contract with LBSF and violated section 562 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The complaint seeks damages in excess of $150 million, plus pre-judgment contractual interest.  On August 3, 2015, the FHLBNY filed amended proofs of claim reducing the FHLBNY’s claims against LBSF and LBHI, as LBSF’s guarantor, to approximately $45 million.  On September 24, 2015, the bankruptcy court denied the FHLBNY’s motion to dismiss certain of the claims alleged in LBHI’s complaint.  The parties are now engaged in pre-trial proceedings, including the exchange of documents, and trial is currently scheduled to commence in 2017.

The FHLBNY is pursuing its claims against LBSF and LBHI in the LBHI litigation.  The FHLBNY intends to vigorously defend against LBHI’s complaint, which we believe to be without merit.

Related Party Transactions.

Note 18.Related Party Transactions.

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

Debt Assumptions and Transfers

Debt assumptions — No debt was assumed in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the same period in the prior year from another FHLBank.

Debt repurchased — No debt was repurchased in the six months ended June 30, 2016.  In the six months ended June 30, 2015, the FHLBNY repurchased $80.0 million of consolidated obligation bonds by transferring the debt obligations to another FHLBank at negotiated market rates that exceeded carrying value by $7.8 million.  Cash paid in excess of book cost is charged to earnings in the period when debt is transferred; the transferring bank notifies the Office of Finance on trade date of the change in primary obligor for the transferred debt.

Debt repurchases were in the ordinary course of the FHLBNY’s business.

Advances Sold or Transferred

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

MPF Program

In the MPF program, the FHLBNY may participate to the FHLBank of Chicago portions of its purchases of mortgage loans from its members.  Transactions are participated at market rates.  Since 2004, the FHLBNY has not shared its purchases with the FHLBank of Chicago.  From the inception of the program through 2004, the cumulative share of participation in the FHLBNY’s MPF loans that has remained outstanding was $18.0 million and $20.8 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Fees paid to the FHLBank of Chicago for providing MPF program services were approximately $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the same periods in the prior year.

Mortgage-backed Securities

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

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

Intermediation

From time to time, the FHLBNY acts as an intermediary to purchase derivatives to accommodate its smaller members.  At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, outstanding notional amounts were $126.0 million and $31.0 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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were not significant.  The intermediated derivative transactions with members were fully collateralized.

Loans to Other Federal Home Loan Banks

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the FHLBNY extended overnight loans for a total of $0.6 billion and $0.9 billion to other FHLBanks.  In the same periods in the prior year, the FHLBNY extended overnight loans for a total of $1.8 billion and $2.7 billion.  Generally, loans made to other FHLBanks are uncollateralized.  Interest income from such loans was immaterial in any period in this report.

Borrowings from Other Federal Home Loan Banks

The FHLBNY borrows from other FHLBanks, generally for a period of one day.  In the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and the same periods in the prior year, there were no borrowings from other FHLBanks.

Cash and Due from Banks

Compensating cash balances were held at Citibank.  For more information, see Note 3.  Cash and Due from Banks.

The following tables summarize outstanding balances with related parties at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and transactions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 (in thousands):

Segment Information and Concentration.

Note 19.Segment Information and Concentration.

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

The FHLBNY’s total assets and capital could significantly decrease if one or more large members were to withdraw from membership or decrease business with the FHLBNY.  Members might withdraw or reduce their business as a result of consolidating with an institution that was a member of another FHLBank, or for other reasons.  The FHLBNY has considered the impact of losing one or more large members.  In general, a withdrawing member would be required to repay all indebtedness prior to the redemption of its capital stock.  Under current conditions, the FHLBNY does not expect the loss of a large member to impair its operations, since the FHLBank Act, 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 June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015, and June 30, 2015 and associated interest income for the periods then ended are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and with the instructions provided by the SEC.  The information contained in these financial statements is unaudited.  In the opinion of management, normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period results have been made.  These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the FHLBNY’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, included in Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

The FHLBNY has identified certain accounting policies that it believes are significant because they require management to make subjective judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or by using different assumptions.  These policies include estimating the allowance for credit losses on the advance and mortgage loan portfolios, evaluating the impairment of the FHLBNY’s securities portfolios, and estimating fair values of certain assets and liabilities.  There have been no significant changes to accounting policies from those identified in Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in Notes to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s most recent Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2016, which contains a summary of the Bank’s significant accounting policies and estimates.

Recently Adopted Significant Accounting Policies

Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-05, Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships, as an amendment to Derivatives and Hedging Activities (Topic 815).  The amendments clarify that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under GAAP does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met.   The amendments provided entities with the option to apply the guidance using either a prospective approach or a modified retrospective approach, retrospectively applied to all derivative instruments that meet the specific conditions.   The FHLBNY elected to early adopt the guidance prospectively on January 1, 2016.  The adoption of this guidance had no effect on the Bank’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value (NAV) per Share (or its Equivalent).

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

Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.

In April 2015, the FASB ASU issued No. 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement to add guidance to Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software. The ASU clarifies a customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement, and provides guidance to customers on determining whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license that should be accounted for as internal-use software.  If the arrangement does not contain a software license, it would be accounted for as a service contract.  The FHLBNY adopted ASU 2015-05 prospectively on January 1, 2016, and the effect of adoption had no material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-imputation of interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.  The ASU requires a reclassification on the statement of condition of debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability from other assets to a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.  The intent is to eliminate the different presentation requirements of debt issuance cost and debt discounts and premiums, which have caused confusion among users of financial statements.  The FHLBNY adopted ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016, and has reclassified unamortized debt issuance costs from Other assets to Consolidated obligations on the Statements of Condition at December 31, 2015.  Adoption had no material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

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

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

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

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

(a) The FHLBNY has a grantor trust, the intent of which is to set aside cash to meet current and future payments for a supplemental unfunded pension plan.  Neither the pension plan nor employees of the FHLBNY own the trust.  Investments in the trust are classified as AFS.  The grantor trust invests in money market, equity and fixed income and bond funds.  Daily net asset values (NAVs) are readily available and investments are redeemable at short notice.  NAVs are the fair values of the funds in the grantor trust.  The mutual funds used to manage the assets of the Grantor trust will be sufficiently liquid to enable the trust to meet all future liabilities.  Liquidity shall be assured by keeping an adequate amount of short-term investments in the portfolio to accommodate the cash needs of the trust.  Dividend income and the net realized gain from sales of funds was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $0.1 million and $0.8 million for the same periods in the prior year; amounts were recorded in Other income in the Statements of Income.

(b) Recorded in AOCI — Net unrealized fair value gains were $4.9 million at June 30, 2016 and $9.3 million at December 31, 2015.

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

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

(c) Interest received is not recorded as Interest income if an uninsured loan is past due 90 days or more.  Cash received is recorded as a liability on the assumption that cash was remitted by the servicer to the FHLBNY that could potentially be recouped by the borrower in a foreclosure.

FVO (e) - valuation adjustments and accrued interest	5,913							(1,751		)
Total Consolidated obligation-bonds	$	70,900,481						$	67,715,952

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

(b) Amortization of bond premiums and discounts resulted in net reduction of Interest expense by $3.5 million and $7.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $5.3 million and $10.6 million for the same periods in the prior year.

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

(d) Hedge basis adjustments on terminated hedges represent the unamortized balances of valuation basis of fixed-rate bonds that were previously in a fair value hedging relationship.  Generally, when a hedging relationship is de-designated, the valuation basis is no longer adjusted for changes in the valuation of the debt for changes in the benchmark rate; instead, the basis is amortized over the debt’s remaining life, so that at its maturity, the unamortized basis is reversed to $0.  The unamortized basis was $143.0 million and $145.5 million at June 30, 2016 and at December 31, 2015.  Amortization was recorded as a yield adjustment, which reduced Interest expenses by $1.5 million and $2.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $1.4 million and $2.8 million for the same periods in the prior year.

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

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

(b) Total net amount represents net unsecured amounts of Derivative assets and liabilities recorded in the Statements of Condition at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The amounts primarily represent (1) the aggregate credit support thresholds that were waived under ISDA Credit Support and Master netting agreements between the FHLBNY and derivative counterparties for uncleared derivative contracts, and (2) Initial margins posted by the FHLBNY to DCO on cleared derivative transactions.  It does not include non-cash collateral received or pledged.

(c) Non-Cash collateral received or pledged not offset — Bilateral derivative: certain counterparties have pledged U.S. treasury securities to collateralize FHLBNY’S exposure.  Delivery commitments - amounts represent exposure arising from derivative positions with member counterparties where we acted as an intermediary, and a small amount of delivery commitments (see footnote a).  Amounts are collateralized by pledged non-cash collateral, primarily 1-4 family housing collateral.

(d) Represents net exposure after applying non-cash collateral pledged to the FHLBNY.

(a) Cash flow hedges of anticipated issuance of consolidated obligation bonds.

Changes in period recognized in AOCI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and the same periods in the prior year — Cash flow hedges executed in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 resulted in net unrecognized losses of $0.7 million and $1.7 million from contracts that were closed in the reporting periods.  In the same periods in the prior year, contracts that were closed resulted in net unrecognized gains of $0.4 million and net unrecognized losses of $0.9 million.  Unrecognized gains and losses in AOCI are amortized and reclassified to interest income and expense with an offset to the cumulative balance in AOCI.  Open swap contracts under this hedging strategy were $25.0 million and $35.0 million in notional amounts at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The fair values recorded in AOCI were unrealized losses of $0.7 million and $0.1 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  There were no open contracts at June 30, 2015.  See Statements of Comprehensive Income for more information.

Cumulative unamortized balance in AOCI — The balance in AOCI of cumulative net unrecognized losses from hedges of anticipatory issuance strategy was $6.4 million at June 30, 2016, $5.7 million at June 30, 2015 and $5.8 million at December 31, 2015.

Amount Reclassified to Earnings — Amounts represented amortization of unrecognized losses from previously closed contracts that were a charge to interest expense and an offset to reduce the unamortized balance in AOCI.

Ineffectiveness Recognized in Earnings — Amounts were immaterial, and represented cash flow hedge ineffectiveness that were recorded in earnings in Other income as a fair value loss or gain from hedging activities.

(b) Hedges of discount notes in rolling issuances

Changes in period recognized in AOCI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 — Amounts represented period-over-period change in the fair values of open swap contracts in the cash flow hedging strategy.  Open swap contracts under this strategy were notional amounts of $1.6 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  The fair values changes recorded in AOCI were net unrealized losses of $22.0 million and $77.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to net unrealized gains of $30.6 million and $9.8 million for the same periods in the prior year.  The cash flow hedges mitigated exposure to the variability in future cash flows over a maximum period of 15 years.

Cumulative unamortized balance in AOCI — The balance in AOCI of cumulative net unrecognized losses from hedges of discount notes in rolling issuances was $163.1 million at June 30, 2016, $71.0 million at June 30, 2015 and $85.2 million at December 31, 2015.

(c) Ineffectiveness recognized in earnings — Only 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.

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

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

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

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

(a) Contractual obligations related to interest payments on long-term debt were calculated by applying the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding long-term debt at June 30, 2016 to the contractual payment obligations on long-term debt for each forecasted period disclosed in the table.  The FHLBNY’s overall weighted average contractual interest rate for long-term debt was 0.95% at June 30, 2016.  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) In the second quarter of 2016, we signed a new lease for our New York City office that will be effective in September 2017.

(c) Includes accounts payable and accrued expenses, Pass-through reserves at the FRB on behalf of certain members of the FHLBNY recorded in Other liabilities.  Also includes projected payment obligations for pension plans.  For more information about these employee retirement plans, see Note 14.  Employee Retirement Plans.
