2006 ANNUAL REPORT
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
To the Board of Directors of the March 5, 2007

Federal Reserve Bank of New York:
The management of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”) is responsible for the
preparation and fair presentation of the Statement of Financial Condition, Statement of Income,
and Statement of Changes in Capital as of December 31, 2006 (the “Financial Statements”). The
Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with the accounting principles, policies, and
practices established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and as set forth in
the Financial Accounting Manual for the Federal Reserve Banks (“Manual”), and as such, include
amounts, some of which are based on management judgments and estimates. To our knowledge,
the Financial Statements are, in all material respects, fairly presented in conformity with the
accounting principles, policies, and practices documented in the Manual and include all disclosures
necessary for such fair presentation.
The management of the FRBNY is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting as it relates to the Financial Statements. Such internal control is
designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and to the Board of Directors regarding
the preparation of the Financial Statements in accordance with the Manual. Internal control contains
self-monitoring mechanisms, including, but not limited to, divisions of responsibility and a code of
conduct. Once identified, any material deficiencies in internal control are reported to management
and appropriate corrective measures are implemented.
Even effective internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, includ-
ing the possibility of human error, and therefore can provide only reasonable assurance with respect
to the preparation of reliable financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effective-
ness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The management of the FRBNY assessed its internal control over financial reporting reflected
in the Financial Statements, based upon the criteria established in the “Internal Control—
Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. Based on this assessment, we believe that the FRBNY maintained effective internal
control over financial reporting as it relates to the Financial Statements.
Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the FRBNY’s internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2006, is being audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the independent
registered public accounting firm which also is auditing the FRBNY’s Financial Statements.

2006 ANNUAL REPORT
Report of Independent Auditors

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
To the Board of Governors of

the Federal Reserve System
and the Board of Directors of
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York:
We have completed an integrated audit of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s 2006 financial
statements, and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 and an audit
of its 2005 financial statements in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards as estab-
lished by the Auditing Standards Board (United States) and in accordance with the auditing standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our
audits, are presented below.
Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of condition of the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York (the “Bank”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of income and
changes in capital for the years then ended, which have been prepared in conformity with the account-
ing principles, policies, and practices established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank’s management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards as established
by the Auditing Standards Board (United States) and in accordance with the auditing standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and sig-
nificant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As described in Note 3, these financial statements were prepared in conformity with the account-
ing principles, policies, and practices established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. These principles, policies, and practices, which were designed to meet the specialized account-
ing and reporting needs of the Federal Reserve System, are set forth in the Financial Accounting Manual
for Federal Reserve Banks which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting princi-
ples generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Bank as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and results of its operations for the
years then ended, on the basis of accounting described in Note 3.
11
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Also, in our opinion, management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s

Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that the Bank maintained effective internal con-
trol over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on criteria established in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in
our opinion, the Bank maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework issued by the COSO. The Bank’s management is responsible for maintaining effective inter-
nal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the
effectiveness of the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted
our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards as established by the Auditing Standards Board (United States) and in accordance with the
auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those stan-
dards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effec-
tive internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of inter-
nal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over finan-
cial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the mainte-
nance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as neces-
sary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the com-
pany’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject
to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

2006 ANNUAL REPORT
FEDERAL RESERVE BANK

OF NEW YORK
Notes to Financial Statements
1. STRUCTURE
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“Bank”) is part of the Federal Reserve
System (“System”) and one of the twelve Reserve Banks (“Reserve Banks”) created
by Congress under the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 (“Federal Reserve Act”), which
established the central bank of the United States. The Reserve Banks are chartered
by the federal government and possess a unique set of governmental, corporate, and
central bank characteristics. The Bank and its branch in Buffalo serve the Second
Federal Reserve District, which includes the state of New York; the twelve northern
counties of New Jersey; Fairfield County, Connecticut; the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico; and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
In accordance with the Federal Reserve Act, supervision and control of the Bank
is exercised by a board of directors. The Federal Reserve Act specifies the composi-
tion of the board of directors for each of the Reserve Banks. Each board is composed
of nine members serving three-year terms: three directors, including those designated
as chairman and deputy chairman, are appointed by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (“Board of Governors”) to represent the public, and six
directors are elected by member banks. Banks that are members of the System
include all national banks and any state-chartered banks that apply and are approved
for membership in the System. Member banks are divided into three classes accord-
ing to size. Member banks in each class elect one director representing member
banks and one representing the public. In any election of directors, each member
bank receives one vote, regardless of the number of shares of Reserve Bank stock it
holds.
The System also consists, in part, of the Board of Governors and the Federal
Open Market Committee (“FOMC”). The Board of Governors, an independent
federal agency, is charged by the Federal Reserve Act with a number of specific
duties, including general supervision over the Reserve Banks. The FOMC is com-
posed of members of the Board of Governors, the president of the Bank, and on a
rotating basis four other Reserve Bank presidents.
17
2. OPERATIONS AND SERVICES
The Reserve Banks perform a variety of services and operations. Functions include
participation in formulating and conducting monetary policy; participation in the
payments system, including large-dollar transfers of funds, automated clearinghouse
(“ACH”) operations, and check collection; distribution of coin and currency; per-
formance of fiscal agency functions for the U.S. Treasury, certain federal agencies,
and other entities; serving as the federal government’s bank; provision of short-term
loans to depository institutions; service to the consumer and the community by pro-
viding educational materials and information regarding consumer laws; and super-
vision of bank holding companies, state member banks, and U.S. offices of foreign
banking organizations. The Reserve Banks also provide certain services to foreign
central banks, governments, and international official institutions.
The FOMC, in the conduct of monetary policy, establishes policy regarding

domestic open market operations, oversees these operations, and annually issues
authorizations and directives to the Bank for its execution of transactions. The Bank
is authorized and directed by the FOMC to conduct operations in domestic mar-
kets, including the direct purchase and sale of U.S. government securities, the pur-
chase of securities under agreements to resell, the sale of securities under agreements
to repurchase, and the lending of U.S. government securities. The Bank executes
these open market transactions at the direction of the FOMC and holds the result-
ing securities, with the exception of securities purchased under agreements to resell,
in the portfolio known as the System Open Market Account (“SOMA”).
In addition to authorizing and directing operations in the domestic securities

market, the FOMC authorizes and directs the Bank to execute operations in foreign
markets for major currencies in order to counter disorderly conditions in exchange
markets or to meet other needs specified by the FOMC in carrying out the System’s
central bank responsibilities. The Bank is authorized by the FOMC to hold balances
of, and to execute spot and forward foreign exchange (“FX”) and securities contracts
for, nine foreign currencies and to invest such foreign currency holdings ensuring
adequate liquidity is maintained. The Bank is authorized and directed by the
FOMC to maintain reciprocal currency arrangements (“FX swaps”) with two cen-
tral banks and “warehouse” foreign currencies for the U.S. Treasury and Exchange
Stabilization Fund (“ESF”) through the Reserve Banks. In connection with its for-
eign currency activities, the Bank may enter into transactions that contain varying
degrees of off-balance-sheet market risk that results from their future settlement and
counter-party credit risk. The Bank controls credit risk by obtaining credit
approvals, establishing transaction limits, and performing daily monitoring procedures.
18
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
Although the Reserve Banks are separate legal entities, in the interests of greater
efficiency and effectiveness they collaborate in the delivery of certain operations and
services. The collaboration takes the form of centralized operations and product or
service offices that have responsibility for the delivery of certain services on behalf of
the Reserve Banks. Various operational and management models are used and are
supported by service agreements between the Reserve Bank providing the service
and the other eleven Reserve Banks. In some cases, costs incurred by a Reserve Bank
for services provided to other Reserve Banks are not shared; in other cases, the
Reserve Banks are billed for services provided to them by another Reserve Bank.
Major services provided on behalf of the System by the Bank, for which the costs
were not redistributed to the other Reserve Banks, include the management of the
SOMA, Wholesale Payments Product Office, application development work and
centralized business administration functions for wholesale payments services, and
two national information technology competency centers dealing with incident
response and remote access.
During 2005, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (“FRBA”) was assigned the
overall responsibility for managing the Reserve Banks’ provision of check services to
depository institutions, and, as a result, recognizes total System check revenue on its
Statements of Income. Because the other eleven Reserve Banks incur costs to pro-
vide check services, a policy was adopted by the Reserve Banks in 2005 that required
that the FRBA compensate the other Reserve Banks for costs incurred to provide
check services. In 2006, this policy was extended to the ACH services, which are
managed by the FRBA, as well as to Fedwire funds transfer and securities transfer
services, which are managed by the Bank. The FRBA and the Bank compensate the
other Reserve Banks for the costs incurred to provide these services. Compensation
paid by the Bank for Fedwire funds transfer and securities transfer services is reported
as a component of “Compensation paid for services costs incurred” in the
Statements of Income, and the Bank would have reported $38 million as compen-
sation paid had this policy been in place in 2005 for Fedwire funds transfer and
securities transfer services. Compensation received by the Bank for costs incurred in
providing check and ACH services is reported by the Bank as a component of
“Compensation received for services provided” in the Statements of Income, and the
Bank would have reported $44 million as compensation received had this policy
been in place in 2005 for ACH services.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting principles for entities with the unique powers and responsibilities of the
nation’s central bank have not been formulated by accounting standard-setting bod-
ies. The Board of Governors has developed specialized accounting principles and
19
practices that it considers to be appropriate for the nature and function of a central
bank, which differ significantly from those of the private sector. These accounting
principles and practices are documented in the “Financial Accounting Manual for
Federal Reserve Banks” (“Financial Accounting Manual”), which is issued by the
Board of Governors. All of the Reserve Banks are required to adopt and apply
accounting policies and practices that are consistent with the Financial Accounting
Manual and the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
Financial Accounting Manual.
Differences exist between the accounting principles and practices in the

Financial Accounting Manual and generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (“GAAP”), primarily due to the unique nature of the Bank’s powers
and responsibilities as part of the nation’s central bank. The primary difference is the
presentation of all securities holdings at amortized cost, rather than using the fair
value presentation required by GAAP. Amortized cost more appropriately reflects the
Bank’s securities holdings given its unique responsibility to conduct monetary policy.
While the application of current market prices to the securities holdings may result
in values substantially above or below their carrying values, these unrealized changes
in value would have no direct effect on the quantity of reserves available to the bank-
ing system or on the prospects for future Bank earnings or capital. Both the domes-
tic and foreign components of the SOMA portfolio may involve transactions that
result in gains or losses when holdings are sold prior to maturity. Decisions regard-
ing securities and foreign currency transactions, including their purchase and sale,
are motivated by monetary policy objectives rather than profit. Accordingly, market
values, earnings, and any gains or losses resulting from the sale of such securities and
currencies are incidental to the open market operations and do not motivate deci-
sions related to policy or open market activities.
In addition, the Bank has elected not to present a Statement of Cash Flows
because the liquidity and cash position of the Bank are not a primary concern given
the Bank’s unique powers and responsibilities. A Statement of Cash Flows, therefore,
would not provide any additional meaningful information. Other information
regarding the Bank’s activities is provided in, or may be derived from, the Statements
of Condition, Income, and Changes in Capital. There are no other significant dif-
ferences between the policies outlined in the Financial Accounting Manual and
GAAP.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the Financial

Accounting Manual requires management to make certain estimates and assump-
tions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of con-
20
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
tingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. Certain amounts relating to the prior year have been
reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation. Unique accounts and sig-
nificant accounting policies are explained below.
a. Gold and Special Drawing Rights Certificates

The Secretary of the U.S. Treasury is authorized to issue gold and special drawing
rights (“SDR”) certificates to the Reserve Banks.
Payment for the gold certificates by the Reserve Banks is made by crediting
equivalent amounts in dollars into the account established for the U.S. Treasury.
The gold certificates held by the Reserve Banks are required to be backed by the
gold of the U.S. Treasury. The U.S. Treasury may reacquire the gold certificates at
any time and the Reserve Banks must deliver them to the U.S. Treasury. At such
time, the U.S. Treasury’s account is charged, and the Reserve Banks’ gold certificate
accounts are reduced. The value of gold for purposes of backing the gold certificates
is set by law at $42 2/9 a fine troy ounce. The Board of Governors allocates the gold
certificates among Reserve Banks once a year based on the average Federal Reserve
notes outstanding in each Reserve Bank.
SDR certificates are issued by the International Monetary Fund (“Fund”) to its
members in proportion to each member’s quota in the Fund at the time of issuance.
SDR certificates serve as a supplement to international monetary reserves and may
be transferred from one national monetary authority to another. Under the law
providing for United States participation in the SDR system, the Secretary of the
U.S. Treasury is authorized to issue SDR certificates, somewhat like gold certificates,
to the Reserve Banks. When SDR certificates are issued to the Reserve Banks,
equivalent amounts in dollars are credited to the account established for the U.S.
Treasury, and the Reserve Banks’ SDR certificate accounts are increased. The
Reserve Banks are required to purchase SDR certificates, at the direction of the
U.S. Treasury, for the purpose of financing SDR acquisitions or for financing
exchange stabilization operations. At the time SDR transactions occur, the Board
of Governors allocates SDR certificate transactions among Reserve Banks based
upon each Reserve Bank’s Federal Reserve notes outstanding at the end of the pre-
ceding year. There were no SDR transactions in 2006 or 2005.
21
b. Loans to Depository Institutions
Depository institutions that maintain reservable transaction accounts or nonpersonal
time deposits, as defined in regulations issued by the Board of Governors, have bor-
rowing privileges at the discretion of the Reserve Bank. Borrowers execute certain
lending agreements and deposit sufficient collateral before credit is extended.
Outstanding loans are evaluated for collectibility. If loans were ever deemed to be
uncollectible, an appropriate reserve would be established. Interest is accrued using
the applicable discount rate established at least every fourteen days by the Board of
Directors of the Reserve Bank, subject to review and determination by the Board of
Governors. There were no outstanding loans to depository institutions at December 31,
2006 and 2005.
c. U.S. Government Securities and Investments Denominated

in Foreign Currencies
U.S. government securities and investments denominated in foreign currencies com-
prising the SOMA are recorded at cost, on a settlement-date basis, and adjusted for
amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts on a straight-line basis. Interest
income is accrued on a straight-line basis. Gains and losses resulting from sales of
securities are determined by specific issues based on average cost. Foreign-currency-
denominated assets are revalued daily at current foreign currency market exchange
rates in order to report these assets in U.S. dollars. Realized and unrealized gains and
losses on investments denominated in foreign currencies are reported as “Foreign
currency gains (losses), net” in the Statements of Income.
Activity related to U.S. government securities, including the premiums, dis-

counts, and realized and unrealized gains and losses, is allocated to each Reserve
Bank on a percentage basis derived from an annual settlement of interdistrict clear-
ings that occurs in April of each year. The settlement also equalizes Reserve Bank
gold certificate holdings to Federal Reserve notes outstanding in each District.
Activity related to investments denominated in foreign currencies is allocated to each
Reserve Bank based on the ratio of each Reserve Bank’s capital and surplus to aggre-
gate capital and surplus at the preceding December 31.
d. Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell, Securities Sold

under Agreements to Repurchase, and Securities Lending
The Bank may engage in tri-party purchases of securities under agreements to resell
(“tri-party agreements”). Tri-party agreements are conducted with two commercial
custodial banks that manage the clearing and settlement of collateral. Collateral is
held in excess of the contract amount. Acceptable collateral under tri-party agree-
ments primarily includes U.S. government securities; pass-through mortgage securi-
ties of the Government National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation, and Federal National Mortgage Association; STRIP securities
22
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
of the U.S. government; and “stripped” securities of other government agencies. The
tri-party agreements are accounted for as financing transactions, with the associated
interest income accrued over the life of the agreement.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as financing

transactions and the associated interest expense is recognized over the life of the
transaction. These transactions are reported in the Statements of Condition at their
contractual amounts and the related accrued interest payable is reported as a com-
ponent of “Other liabilities.”
U.S. government securities held in the SOMA are lent to U.S. government secu-
rities dealers in order to facilitate the effective functioning of the domestic securities
market. Securities-lending transactions are fully collateralized by other U.S. govern-
ment securities and the collateral taken is in excess of the market value of the secu-
rities loaned. The Bank charges the dealer a fee for borrowing securities and the fees
are reported as a component of “Other income.”
Activity related to securities sold under agreements to repurchase and securities

lending is allocated to each of the Reserve Banks on a percentage basis derived from
the annual settlement of interdistrict clearings. Securities purchased under agree-
ments to resell are allocated to the Bank and not allocated to the other Reserve
Banks.
e. FX Swap Arrangements and Warehousing Agreements

FX swap arrangements are contractual agreements between two parties, the Bank
and an authorized foreign central bank, to exchange specified currencies, at a specified
price, on a specified date. The parties agree to exchange their currencies up to a pre-
arranged maximum amount and for an agreed-upon period of time (up to twelve
months), at an agreed-upon interest rate. These arrangements give the FOMC tem-
porary access to the foreign currencies it may need to intervene to support the dol-
lar and give the authorized foreign central bank temporary access to dollars it may
need to support its own currency. Drawings under the FX swap arrangements can
be initiated by either party acting as drawer, and must be agreed to by the drawee
party. The FX swap arrangements are structured so that the party initiating the
transaction bears the exchange rate risk upon maturity. The Bank will generally
invest the foreign currency received under an FX swap arrangement in interest-
bearing instruments.
Warehousing is an arrangement under which the FOMC agrees to exchange, at

the request of the U.S. Treasury, U.S. dollars for foreign currencies held by the U.S.
Treasury or ESF over a limited period of time. The purpose of the warehousing facil-
ity is to supplement the U.S. dollar resources of the U.S. Treasury and ESF for
financing purchases of foreign currencies and related international operations.
23
FX swap arrangements and warehousing agreements are revalued daily at current
market exchange rates. Activity related to these agreements, with the exception of the
unrealized gains and losses resulting from the daily revaluation, is allocated to each
Reserve Bank based on the ratio of each Reserve Bank’s capital and surplus to aggre-
gate capital and surplus at the preceding December 31. Unrealized gains and losses
resulting from the daily revaluation are allocated to the Bank and not allocated to
the other Reserve Banks.
f. Bank Premises, Equipment, and Software

Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of
the assets, which range from two to fifty years. Major alterations, renovations, and
improvements are capitalized at cost as additions to the asset accounts and are depre-
ciated over the remaining useful life of the asset or, if appropriate, over the unique
useful life of the alteration, renovation, or improvement. Maintenance, repairs, and
minor replacements are charged to operating expense in the year incurred.
Costs incurred for software during the application development stage, either
developed internally or acquired for internal use, are capitalized based on the cost of
direct services and materials associated with designing, coding, installing, or testing
software. Capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the software applications, which range from two to five
years. Maintenance costs related to software are charged to expense in the year
incurred.
Capitalized assets including software, buildings, leasehold improvements, furni-

ture, and equipment are impaired when events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of assets or asset groups is not recoverable and significantly
exceeds their fair value.
g. Interdistrict Settlement Account

At the close of business each day, each Reserve Bank assembles the payments due to
or from other Reserve Banks. These payments result from transactions between
Reserve Banks and transactions that involve depository institution accounts held by
other Reserve Banks, such as Fedwire funds transfer, check collection, security trans-
fer, and ACH operations. The cumulative net amount due to or from the other
Reserve Banks is reflected in the “Interdistrict settlement account” in the Statements
of Condition.
h. Federal Reserve Notes

Federal Reserve notes are the circulating currency of the United States. These notes
are issued through the various Federal Reserve agents (the chairman of the board of
24
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
directors of each Reserve Bank and their designees) to the Reserve Banks upon
deposit with such agents of specified classes of collateral security, typically U.S. gov-
ernment securities. These notes are identified as issued to a specific Reserve Bank.
The Federal Reserve Act provides that the collateral security tendered by the Reserve
Bank to the Federal Reserve agent must be at least equal to the sum of the notes
applied for by such Reserve Bank.
Assets eligible to be pledged as collateral security include all of the Bank’s assets.
The collateral value is equal to the book value of the collateral tendered, with the
exception of securities, for which the collateral value is equal to the par value of the
securities tendered. The par value of securities pledged for securities sold under
agreements to repurchase is deducted.
The Board of Governors may, at any time, call upon a Reserve Bank for addi-
tional security to adequately collateralize the Federal Reserve notes. To satisfy the
obligation to provide sufficient collateral for outstanding Federal Reserve notes, the
Reserve Banks have entered into an agreement that provides for certain assets of the
Reserve Banks to be jointly pledged as collateral for the Federal Reserve notes issued
to all Reserve Banks. In the event that this collateral is insufficient, the Federal
Reserve Act provides that Federal Reserve notes become a first and paramount lien
on all the assets of the Reserve Banks. Finally, Federal Reserve notes are obligations
of the United States and are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States
government.
“Federal Reserve notes outstanding, net” in the Statements of Condition repre-

sents the Bank’s Federal Reserve notes outstanding, reduced by the currency issued
to the Bank but not in circulation, of $56,821 million and $43,521 million at
December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
i. Items in Process of Collection and Deferred Credit Items

“Items in process of collection” in the Statements of Condition primarily represents
amounts attributable to checks that have been deposited for collection and that, as
of the balance sheet date, have not yet been presented to the paying bank. “Deferred
credit items” are the counterpart liability to items in process of collection, and the
amounts in this account arise from deferring credit for deposited items until the
amounts are collected. The balances in both accounts can vary significantly.
j. Capital Paid-in
The Federal Reserve Act requires that each member bank subscribe to the capital
stock of the Reserve Bank in an amount equal to 6 percent of the capital and sur-
plus of the member bank. These shares are nonvoting with a par value of $100 and
may not be transferred or hypothecated. As a member bank’s capital and surplus
25
changes, its holdings of Reserve Bank stock must be adjusted. Currently, only
one-half of the subscription is paid-in and the remainder is subject to call. By law,
each Reserve Bank is required to pay each member bank an annual dividend of
6 percent on the paid-in capital stock. This cumulative dividend is paid semiannu-
ally. A member bank is liable for Reserve Bank liabilities up to twice the par value
of stock subscribed by it.
k. Surplus
The Board of Governors requires the Reserve Banks to maintain a surplus equal to
the amount of capital paid-in as of December 31 of each year. This amount is
intended to provide additional capital and reduce the possibility that the Reserve
Banks would be required to call on member banks for additional capital.
Accumulated other comprehensive income is reported as a component of surplus

in the Statements of Condition and the Statements of Changes in Capital. The bal-
ance of accumulated other comprehensive income is comprised of expenses, gains,
and losses related to defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit
plans that, under accounting principles, are included in comprehensive income but
excluded from net income. Additional information regarding the classifications of
accumulated other comprehensive income is provided in Notes 8, 9, and 10.
l. Interest on Federal Reserve Notes

The Board of Governors requires the Reserve Banks to transfer excess earnings to the
U.S. Treasury as interest on Federal Reserve notes, after providing for the costs of
operations, payment of dividends, and reservation of an amount necessary to equate
surplus with capital paid-in. This amount is reported as a component of “Payments
to U.S. Treasury as interest on Federal Reserve notes” in the Statements of Income
and is reported as a liability in the Statements of Condition. Weekly payments to the
U.S. Treasury may vary significantly.
In the event of losses or an increase in capital paid-in at a Reserve Bank, pay-

ments to the U.S. Treasury are suspended and earnings are retained until the sur-
plus is equal to the capital paid-in.
In the event of a decrease in capital paid-in, the excess surplus, after equating
capital paid-in and surplus at December 31, is distributed to the U.S. Treasury in
the following year.
m. Income and Costs Related to U.S. Treasury Services

The Bank is required by the Federal Reserve Act to serve as fiscal agent and deposi-
tory of the United States. By statute, the Department of the Treasury is permitted,
but not required, to pay for these services.
26
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
n. Assessments by the Board of Governors

The Board of Governors assesses the Reserve Banks to fund its operations based on
each Reserve Bank’s capital and surplus balances as of December 31 of the previous
year. The Board of Governors also assesses each Reserve Bank for the expenses
incurred for the U.S. Treasury to issue and retire Federal Reserve notes based on each
Reserve Bank’s share of the number of notes comprising the System’s net liability for
Federal Reserve notes on December 31 of the previous year.
o. Taxes
The Reserve Banks are exempt from federal, state, and local taxes, except for taxes
on real property. The Bank’s real property taxes were $5 million for each of the
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, and are reported as a component of
“Occupancy expense.” In 2005, the Bank received a $2.7 million real estate credit
related to prior period taxes for leased property that the Bank no longer occupies.
p. Restructuring Charges
In 2003, the Reserve Banks began the restructuring of several operations, primarily
check, cash, and U.S. Treasury services. The restructuring included streamlining the
management and support structures, reducing staff, decreasing the number of pro-
cessing locations, and increasing processing capacity in some locations. These
restructuring activities continued in 2004 through 2006.
Note 11 describes the restructuring and provides information about the Bank’s
costs and liabilities associated with employee separations and contract terminations.
The costs associated with the impairment of certain of the Bank’s assets are discussed
in Note 6. Costs and liabilities associated with enhanced pension benefits in con-
nection with the restructuring activities for all of the Reserve Banks are recorded on
the books of the Bank. Costs and liabilities associated with enhanced postretirement
benefits are discussed in Note 9.
q. Implementation of FASB Statement No. 158, Employers’ Accounting

for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans
The Bank initially applied the provisions of FASB Statement No. 158, Employers’
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, at
December 31, 2006. This accounting standard requires recognition of the over-
funded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the
Statements of Condition, and recognition of changes in the funded status in the
years in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. The transition
rules for implementing the standard require applying the provisions as of the end of
27
the year of initial implementation with no retrospective application. The incremen-
tal effects on the line items in the Statement of Condition at December 31, 2006,
were as follows (in millions):

4. U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES, SECURITIES PURCHASED

UNDER AGREEMENTS TO RESELL, SECURITIES SOLD UNDER
AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE, AND SECURITIES LENDING
The Bank, on behalf of the Reserve Banks, holds securities bought outright in the
SOMA. The Bank’s allocated share of SOMA balances was approximately
37.013 percent and 39.653 percent at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The Bank’s allocated share of U.S. government securities, net, held in the SOMA
at December 31, was as follows (in millions):

2006 ANNUAL REPORT
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the fair value of the U.S. government securi-
ties allocated to the Bank, excluding accrued interest, was $294,584 million and
$304,329 million, respectively, as determined by reference to quoted prices for iden-
tical securities.
The total of the U.S. government securities, net, held in the SOMA was
$783,619 million and $750,202 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respec-
tively. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the fair value of the U.S. government secu-
rities held in the SOMA, excluding accrued interest, was $795,900 million and
$767,472 million, respectively, as determined by reference to quoted prices for iden-
tical securities.
Although the fair value of security holdings can be substantially greater or less
than the carrying value at any point in time, these unrealized gains or losses have no
effect on the ability of a Reserve Bank, as a central bank, to meet its financial obliga-
tions and responsibilities, and should not be misunderstood as representing a risk to
the Reserve Banks, their shareholders, or the public. The fair value is presented solely
for informational purposes.
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the total contract amount of securities sold
under agreements to repurchase was $29,615 million and $30,505 million, respec-
tively, of which $10,961 million and $12,096 million were allocated to the Bank.
The total par value of the SOMA securities that were pledged for securities sold
under agreements to repurchase at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $29,676 mil-
lion and $30,559 million, respectively, of which $10,984 million and $12,118 mil-
lion was allocated to the Bank. The contract amounts for securities purchased under
agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximate
fair value.
The maturity distribution of U.S. government securities bought outright, secu-

rities purchased under agreements to resell, and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase, that were allocated to the Bank at December 31, 2006, was as follows

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, U.S. government securities with par values of
$6,855 million and $3,776 million, respectively, were loaned from the SOMA, of
which $2,537 million and $1,497 million, respectively, were allocated to the Bank.
5. INVESTMENTS DENOMINATED IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES

The Bank, on behalf of the Reserve Banks, holds foreign currency deposits with for-
eign central banks and with the Bank for International Settlements and invests in
foreign government debt instruments. Foreign government debt instruments held
include both securities bought outright and securities purchased under agreements
to resell. These investments are guaranteed as to principal and interest by the issu-
ing foreign governments.
The Bank’s allocated share of investments denominated in foreign currencies was

approximately 27.864 percent and 29.132 percent at December 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.
The Bank’s allocated share of investments denominated in foreign currencies,

including accrued interest, valued at foreign currency market exchange rates at
December 31 was as follows (in millions):
30
2006 ANNUAL REPORT

Government debt instruments 1,491 1,572
Total allocated to the Bank $5,707 $5,514
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the fair value of investments denominated in
foreign currencies, including accrued interest, allocated to the Bank was $5,694 mil-
lion and $5,525 million, respectively. The fair value of government debt instruments
was determined by reference to quoted prices for identical securities. The cost basis
of foreign currency deposits and securities purchased under agreements to resell,
adjusted for accrued interest, approximates fair value. Similar to the U.S. govern-
ment securities discussed in Note 4, unrealized gains or losses have no effect on the
ability of a Reserve Bank, as a central bank, to meet its financial obligations and
responsibilities.
Total System investments denominated in foreign currencies were $20,482 mil-

lion and $18,928 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. At
December 31, 2006 and 2005, the fair value of the total System investments denomi-
nated in foreign currencies, including accrued interest, was $20,434 million and
$18,965 million, respectively.
The maturity distribution of investments denominated in foreign currencies that

were allocated to the Bank at December 31, 2006, was as follows (in millions):

The Bank leases space to outside tenants with remaining lease terms ranging
from seven to eleven years. Rental income from such leases was $2 million for the
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, and is reported as a component of
“Other income.” Future minimum lease payments that the Bank will receive under
noncancelable lease agreements in existence at December 31, 2006, are as follows

The Bank had capitalized software assets, net of amortization, of $40 million
and $33 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Amortization
expense was $9 million and $6 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and
2005, respectively. Capitalized software assets are reported as a component of “Other
assets” and the related amortization is reported as a component of “Other expenses.”
32
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
Assets impaired as a result of the Bank’s restructuring plan, as discussed in Note 11,
include equipment. Asset impairment losses of $1 million for the period ending
December 31, 2005, was determined using fair values based on quoted market val-
ues or other valuation techniques and are reported as a component of “Other
expenses.” The Bank had no impairment losses in 2006.
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

At December 31, 2006, the Bank was obligated under noncancelable leases for
premises and equipment with remaining terms ranging from seven to approximately
seventeen years. These leases provide for increased rental payments based upon
increases in real estate taxes, operating costs, or selected price indices.
Rental expense under operating leases for certain operating facilities, warehouses,
and data processing and office equipment (including taxes, insurance, and mainte-
nance when included in rent), net of sublease rentals, was $16 million and $11 million
for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Certain of the Bank’s
leases have options to renew.
Future minimum rental payments under noncancelable operating leases, net of

sublease rentals, with remaining terms of one year or more, at December 31, 2006,
are as follows (in millions):
Operating
2007 $ 5
2008 5
2009 6

2011 6
Thereafter 101
Future minimum rental payments $129
At December 31, 2006, there were no other material commitments or long-term

obligations in excess of one year.
Under the Insurance Agreement of the Federal Reserve Banks, each of the
Reserve Banks has agreed to bear, on a per-incident basis, a pro rata share of losses
in excess of one percent of the capital paid-in of the claiming Reserve Bank, up to
33
50 percent of the total capital paid-in of all Reserve Banks. Losses are borne in the
ratio that a Reserve Bank’s capital paid-in bears to the total capital paid-in of all
Reserve Banks at the beginning of the calendar year in which the loss is shared. No
claims were outstanding under the agreement at December 31, 2006 or 2005.
The Bank is involved in certain legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary
course of business. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these
actions, in management’s opinion, based on discussions with counsel, the afore-
mentioned litigation and claims will be resolved without material adverse effect on
the financial position or results of operations of the Bank.
8. RETIREMENT AND THRIFT PLANS

Retirement Plans
The Bank currently offers three defined benefit retirement plans to its employees,
based on length of service and level of compensation. Substantially all of the Bank’s
employees participate in the Retirement Plan for Employees of the Federal Reserve
System (“System Plan”). Employees at certain compensation levels participate in the
Benefit Equalization Retirement Plan (“BEP”) and certain Reserve Bank officers
participate in the Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”).
The System Plan is a multi-employer plan with contributions funded by the partici-
pating employers. Participating employers are the Federal Reserve Banks, the Board
of Governors, and the Office of Employee Benefits of the Federal Reserve Employee
Benefits System. No separate accounting is maintained of assets contributed by the
participating employers. The Bank acts as a sponsor of the System Plan and the costs
associated with the Plan are not redistributed to other participating employers.
Following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the System

Plan benefit obligation (in millions):

Prepaid pension benefit costs are reported as “Federal Reserve System prepaid
pension benefit costs” in the Statements of Condition.
The accumulated benefit obligation for the System Plan, which differs from the
estimated actuarial present value of projected benefit obligation because it is based
on current rather than future compensation levels, was $4,522 million and
$4,162 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The weighted-average assumptions used in developing the pension benefit obliga-

tion for the System Plan as of December 31 are as follows:
2006 2005
Discount rate 6.00% 5.75%
Rate of compensation increase 4.50% 4.50%
Net periodic benefit expenses are actuarially determined using a January 1 mea-
surement date. The weighted-average assumptions used in developing net periodic
benefit expenses for the System Plan for the years at January 1 were as follows:
2006 2005
Discount rate 5.75% 5.75%
Expected asset return 8.00% 8.25%
Rate of compensation increase 4.50% 4.25%
Discount rates reflect yields available on high-quality corporate bonds that

would generate the cash flows necessary to pay the plan’s benefits when due. The
expected long-term rate of return on assets was based on a combination of method-
ologies including the System Plan’s historical returns, surveys of what other plans’
expected rates of return are, building a projected return for equities and fixed-income
investments based on real interest rates, inflation expectations and equity risk pre-
miums, and surveys of expected returns in equity and fixed-income markets.

The System’s Committee on Investment Performance (“CIP”) contracts with
investment managers who are responsible for implementing the System Plan’s investment
policies. The managers’ performance is measured against a trailing 36-month bench-
mark of 60 percent of a market-value-weighted index of predominantly large capital-
ization stocks trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock
Exchange, and the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
National Market System and 40 percent of a broadly diversified investment-grade
fixed-income index (rebalanced monthly). The managers invest plan funds within
CIP-established guidelines for investment in equities and fixed-income instruments.
Equity investments can range between 40 percent and 80 percent of the portfolio.
Investments, however, cannot be concentrated in particular industries and equity
securities holdings of any one company are limited. Fixed-income securities must be
investment grade and the effective duration of the fixed-income portfolio must
remain within a range of 67 percent and 150 percent of a broadly diversified
investment-grade fixed-income index. CIP guidelines prohibit margin, short sale,
foreign exchange, and commodities trading as well as investment in bank, bank
holding company, savings and loan, and government securities dealers stocks. In
addition, investments in non-dollar-denominated securities are prohibited; however,
a small portion of the portfolio can be invested in American Depositary
Receipts/Shares and foreign-issued dollar-denominated fixed-income securities.
Contributions to the System Plan may be determined using different assump-

tions than those required for financial reporting. The System does not expect to
make a cash contribution during 2007.
The Bank’s projected benefit obligation, funded status, and net pension expenses
for the BEP and the SERP at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and for the years then
ended, were not material.
Thrift Plan
Employees of the Bank may also participate in the defined contribution Thrift Plan
for Employees of the Federal Reserve System (“Thrift Plan”). The Bank’s Thrift Plan
contributions totaled $14 million and $13 million for the years ended December 31,
2006 and 2005, respectively, and are reported as a component of “Salaries and other
benefits” in the Statements of Income. The Bank matches employee contributions
based on a specified formula. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the
Bank matched 80 percent on the first 6 percent of employee contributions for
employees with less than five years of service and 100 percent on the first 6 percent
of employee contributions for employees with five or more years of service.

AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions
In addition to the Bank’s retirement plans, employees who have met certain age and
length-of-service requirements are eligible for both medical benefits and life insur-
ance coverage during retirement.
The Bank funds benefits payable under the medical and life insurance plans as
due and, accordingly, has no plan assets.
Following is a reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of the benefit

obligation (in millions):
2006 2005
Accumulated postretirement benefit

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the weighted-average discount rate assump-
tions used in developing the postretirement benefit obligation were 5.75 percent and
5.50 percent, respectively.
Discount rates reflect yields available on high-quality corporate bonds that

would generate the cash flows necessary to pay the plan’s benefits when due.

assumptions used to determine net periodic postretirement benefit costs were
5.50 percent and 5.75 percent, respectively.

The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003
established a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (“Medicare Part D”) and a
federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide benefits
that are at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. The benefits provided
under the Bank’s plan to certain participants are at least actuarially equivalent to the
Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit. The estimated effects of the subsidy,
retroactive to January 1, 2004, are reflected in actuarial (gain)/loss in the accumu-
lated postretirement benefit obligation.
There were no receipts of federal Medicare subsidies in the year ended December 31,
2006. Expected receipts in the year ending December 31, 2007, related to payments
made in the year ended December 31, 2006, are $1 million.
Following is a summary of expected postretirement benefit payments

(in millions):

Postemployment Benefits
The Bank offers benefits to former or inactive employees. Postemployment benefit
costs are actuarially determined using a December 31 measurement date and include
the cost of medical and dental insurance, survivor income, and disability benefits.
The accrued postemployment benefit costs recognized by the Bank at December 31,
2006 and 2005 were $30 million. This cost is included as a component of “Accrued
benefit costs” in the Statements of Condition. Net periodic postemployment bene-
fit expense included in 2006 and 2005 operating expenses were $4 million and
$5 million, respectively, and are recorded as a component of “Salaries and other bene-
fits” in the Statements of Income.

reduce costs, including consolidation of operations and staff reductions in various
functions of the Bank. In 2005, additional consolidation and restructuring initia-
