Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio Note 10.    Mortgage Loans Held-for-Portfolio.
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.
Mortgage loans under the MPF program were at a carrying value of $1.4 billion at both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Mortgage loans under the MAP program were at a carrying value of $1.4 billion at June 30, 2026, compared to $1.2 billion at
December 31, 2025.
The following table presents information on mortgage loans held-for-portfolio (dollars in thousands):

(a)Conventional mortgage loans represent the majority of mortgage loans held-for-portfolio, with the remainder invested in FHA
and VA insured loans (also referred to as government loans).
(b)Balances represent unamortized fair value basis of closed delivery commitments. A basis adjustment is recorded at the
settlement of the loan and it represents the difference in trade price paid for acquiring the loan and the price at the settlement
date for a similar loan. The basis adjustment is amortized as a yield adjustment to Interest income.
The FHLBNY and its members share the credit risk of MPF loans by structuring potential credit losses into layers. The first layer is
typically 100 bps, but this varies with the particular MPF product. The amount of the first layer, or First Loss Account (FLA), was
estimated at $36.9 million at June 30, 2026 and $38.3 million at December 31, 2025. The FLA is not recorded or reported as a
reserve for loan losses, as it serves as a memorandum account. The FHLBNY is responsible for absorbing the first layer. The PFI
then has direct liability to pay credit losses up to a specified amount with the FHLBNY taking the remaining of the credit losses.
The MAP program operates on the simplified credit risk sharing structure. MAP credit risk sharing structure rewards PFIs for
originating high-quality, well-performing loans. At the time of purchase, FHLBNY will set aside a standard credit enhancement of
1.5% for every loan funded, to be retained in a Member Performance Account (MPA) for each PFI. The MPA credit enhancement
may be slightly greater than 1.5% for certain loans based on credit characteristics. Loans are pooled into single or aggregate (multi-
member) Master Commitments. Loan losses over the life of the pool are absorbed in order by borrower’s equity, mortgage insurance
(if applicable), MPA, and finally by FHLBNY. If pooled losses are low, MPA funds are returned to the seller over time, based on a
contractual release schedule. This liability account was $23.6 million at June 30, 2026 and $19.8 million at December 31, 2025.
