Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas Reports Fourth Quarter
and Full Year Earnings

DALLAS, TEXAS, February 22, 2011 – The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (Bank) today reported net income of $22.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Bank reported net income of $104.7 million.

Total assets at December 31, 2010 were $39.7 billion, compared with $51.6 billion at September 30, 2010 and $65.1 billion at December 31, 2009. The $11.9 billion decrease in total assets for the fourth quarter was attributable primarily to declines in the Bank’s short-term liquidity portfolio ($9.2 billion), advances ($1.8 billion) and its long-term held-to-maturity securities portfolio ($0.8 billion). The $25.4 billion decrease in total assets for the full year was attributable primarily to declines in the Bank’s advances ($21.8 billion) and its long-term held-to-maturity securities portfolio ($2.9 billion).

Advances were $25.5 billion at December 31, 2010, compared with $27.3 billion at September 30, 2010 and $47.3 billion at December 31, 2009. The quarterly and annual reductions in advances were driven largely by decreases in advances outstanding to the Bank’s two largest borrowers. During the quarter and year ended December 31, 2010, advances outstanding to those two borrowers decreased by $1.0 billion and $17.8 billion, respectively. At December 31, 2010, advances outstanding to the Bank’s two largest borrowers totaled $6.5 billion.

Due to principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities, the Bank’s held-to-maturity securities portfolio declined from $9.3 billion at September 30, 2010 and $11.4 billion at December 31, 2009 to $8.5 billion at December 31, 2010. The Bank’s short-term liquidity portfolio (comprised of non-interest bearing excess cash balances, overnight federal funds sold and, as of September 30, 2010, U.S. Treasury Bills) decreased from $14.6 billion at September 30, 2010 and $5.7 billion at December 31, 2009 to $5.4 billion at December 31, 2010. The Bank’s larger short-term liquidity portfolio at September 30, 2010 was due in large part to the reinvestment of the proceeds from $10.3 billion of advances prepaid in late September. During the fourth quarter, these funds were used to repay or retire debt.

The Bank’s operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2010 included credit-related other-than-temporary impairment charges of $0.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively, on certain of its investments in non-agency (private-label) residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS). The unpaid principal balance of the Bank’s non-agency RMBS holdings, all of which are classified as held-to-maturity, totaled $397.9 million at December 31, 2010, compared with $431.5 million at September 30, 2010 and $515.4 million at December 31, 2009.

The Bank’s retained earnings increased to $452.2 million at December 31, 2010, from $431.9 million at September 30, 2010 and $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 $57.8 million at September 30, 2010 to $63.3 million at December 31, 2010; as of 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 was $66.6 million.

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