Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas Reports First Quarter Earnings


DALLAS, April 29, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (Bank) today reported net income of $15.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Total assets at March 31, 2010 were $58.7 billion, compared with $65.1 billion at December 31, 2009. The decrease in total assets for the first quarter was largely attributable to a decline in the Bank's advances to member institutions. Advances were $42.6 billion at March 31, 2010, compared with $47.3 billion at December 31, 2009.

The Bank's operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 included credit-related other-than-temporary impairment charges of $0.6 million on five of its investments in non-agency (private-label) residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS). The unpaid principal balance of the Bank's 40 non-agency RMBS holdings, all of which are classified as held-to-maturity, totaled $488.1 million at March 31, 2010, compared with $515.4 million at December 31, 2009.

The Bank's retained earnings increased to $369.5 million at March 31, 2010, from $356.3 million at December 31, 2009. Accumulated other comprehensive loss attributable to the non-credit portion of other-than-temporary impairment losses on the Bank's non-agency RMBS holdings increased from $66.6 million at December 31, 2009 to $68.8 million at March 31, 2010. At all times during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Bank was in compliance with all of its regulatory capital requirements.

Additional selected financial data as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 is set forth below. Further discussion and analysis regarding the Bank's first quarter results will be included in its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
