6. Statement of Condition of Each Federal Reserve Bank, April 24, 2024 (continued)

1.

Securities include outright holdings of U.S. Treasury securities, federal agency debt securities, and mortgage-backed securities, including securities lent to dealers under the overnight securities

lending facility; refer to table 1A. Mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. Unamortized premiums and discounts are the differences between

the purchase price and the face value of the securities that have not been amortized. For U.S. Treasury securities, federal agency debt securities, and mortgage-backed securities,

amortization is on an effective-interest basis. Repurchase agreements reflect the cash value of agreements, which are collateralized by U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities.

Loans includes primary, secondary, and seasonal loans and credit extended through the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility, Bank Term Funding Program, and other credit extensions.

2.

Includes assets purchased pursuant to terms of the credit facility and amounts related to Treasury contributions to the facility. Refer to note on consolidation below.

3.

Dollar value of foreign currency held under these agreements valued at the exchange rate to be used when the foreign currency is returned to the foreign central bank. This exchange rate
equals the market exchange rate used when the foreign currency was acquired from the foreign central bank.

4.

Revalued daily at current foreign currency exchange rates.

5.

Includes items in process of collection, bank premises, accrued interest (which represents the daily accumulation of interest earned), and other accounts receivable.

6.

Cash value of agreements, which are collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, federal agency debt securities, and mortgage-backed securities.

7.

Includes deposits held at the Reserve Banks by international and multilateral organizations, government-sponsored enterprises, designated financial market utilities, and deposits held by depository institutions in joint accounts in connection with their participation in certain private-sector payment arrangements. Also includes certain deposit accounts other than the U.S. Treasury, General Account, for services provided by the Reserve Banks as fiscal agents of the United States.

8.

The Federal Reserve Banks remit residual net earnings to the U.S. Treasury after providing for the costs of operations, payment of dividends, and the amount necessary to maintain each Federal Reserve Bank's allotted surplus cap. Positive amounts represent the estimated weekly remittances due to U.S. Treasury. Negative amounts represent the cumulative deferred asset position, which is incurred during a period when earnings are not sufficient to provide for the cost of operations, payment of dividends, and maintaining surplus. The deferred asset is the amount of net earnings that the Federal Reserve Banks need to realize before remittances to the U.S. Treasury resume.

9.

Book value. Amount of equity investments in MS Facilities LLC of $7.4 billion.

Note on consolidation:

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (FRBB) have extended loans to limited liability companies under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act. On June 5, 2020, FRBNY began extending loans to the Municipal Liquidity Facility LLC (MLF LLC), a limited liability company formed to purchase municipal notes from eligible issuers. The assets of the MLF LLC and the amount provided by U.S. Treasury as credit protection to the FRBNY are used to secure the loan from the FRBNY. On June 25, 2020, FRBNY began extending loans to the TALF II LLC, a special purpose vehicle that was formed to help support the flow of credit to consumers and businesses. The assets of the TALF II LLC and the amount provided by U.S. Treasury as credit protection to the FRBNY are used to secure the loan from the FRBNY. On July 15, 2020, the FRBB began extending loans to the MS Facilities LLC (Main Street Lending Program), a special purpose vehicle that was formed to help ensure credit flows to small and medium-sized businesses and to eligible nonprofits. The assets of the MS Facilities LLC and the amount provided by U.S. Treasury as credit protection to the FRBB are used to secure the loan from the FRBB.

The FRBNY is the managing member of MLF LLC and TALF II LLC. The FRBB is the managing member of MS Facilities LLC (Main Street Lending Program). Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and liabilities of each LLC have been accounted for and consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the FRBNY or FRBB, in the preparation of the statements of condition shown on this release. As a consequence of the consolidation, the loan from the Reserve Bank to the LLC is eliminated as are any balances held at the FRBNY for LLCs consolidated to FRBNY or FRBB for LLCs consolidated to FRBB. Treasury contributions to credit facilities are held at FRBNY until invested. Net assets of the LLC appears as assets on table 6 (and in table 1 and table 5), and the liabilities of the LLC to entities other than the FRBNY or FRBB, including those with recourse only to the portfolio holdings of the LLC, are included in other liabilities in this table (and table 1 and table 5). The amount provided by U.S. Treasury as credit protection to FRBNY and FRBB appears as liabilities on table 6 (and in table 1 and table 5).
