(a)Financial letters of credit — 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.
The Bank did not record credit losses on off-balance sheet arrangements for any periods in this report.
Lease Commitments
Operating Leases:
In compliance with the guidance under Topic 842, Leases, we recognize in our Statements of Condition all leases with lease terms
greater than twelve months as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use (ROU) asset.
At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the FHLBNY was obligated under a number of noncancelable leases, predominantly
operating leases for premises. These leases generally have terms of 15 years or less that contain escalation clauses that will increase
rental payments. Operating leases also include backup datacenters and certain office equipment. Operating lease liabilities and
operating lease ROU assets are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease
payments over the lease term. The future lease payments are discounted at a rate that represents the FHLBNY’s borrowing rate for its
own debt (Consolidated obligation bonds) of a similar term. Operating lease ROU assets include any lease prepayments made, plus
any initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentives received. Rental expense associated with operating leases is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. Premise rental expense is included in occupancy expense, and datacenter and other lease
expenses are included in other operating expense in the Statements of Income. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease
liabilities are reported in the Statements of Condition.
