(1) | Our fixed charges include interest expense and premium and discount amortization on CO Bonds, including net settlements on derivatives that hedge CO Bonds and Discount Notes, and interest expense on other liabilities including Deposits, borrowings from other FHLBs, MRCS, and other borrowings. We do not capitalize interest, and the impact of interest expense within our rental costs is not significant. |
