President’s Report

FHLBNY Declares a 4.50% Dividend for the Third Quarter of 2012

I am pleased to announce that, on November 15, 2012, your Board of Directors approved a dividend rate for the third quarter of 2012 of 4.50% (annualized). The Bank’s dividend rate for the second quarter of 2012 was also 4.50%. The dollar amount of the third quarter of 2012 dividend will be approximately $55.4 million. The cash dividend will be distributed on November 16, 2012.

The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York has performed well throughout the year, which is reflected in the consistent dividend we continue to provide to our members. Whether through the daily availability of our advances or a dependable quarterly dividend, the experienced team at the Home Loan Bank takes great pride in being a stable and reliable partner for our members.

The dividend reflects the Bank’s low-risk profile and conservative business strategy, and is also reflective of the continuation of a low interest rate environment and potential future economic and market uncertainties. The payout represents approximately 78 percent of available GAAP net income for the quarter (after setting aside restricted retained earnings); the remainder of net income will be put towards unrestricted retained earnings. Following the dividend payment, the Bank’s level of unrestricted retained earnings as of September 30, 2012 will be approximately $730.1 million. At September 30, 2012, restricted retained earnings were $79.4 million. We will continue to maintain retained earnings at calibrated levels to help ensure future regulatory compliance and provide additional protection for the capital investment of our stockholders.

To allow sufficient time to finalize financial results each quarter, please note that the Bank’s Board intends to continue to vote on dividend declarations approximately six weeks after the close of the calendar quarter.

The FHLBNY filed its Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2012 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2012. The document is available at the “EDGAR” portion of the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

Sincerely,
Alfred A. DelliBovi
President and CEO
