(a) Risk-Based Capital Test--OFHEO shall compute a risk-based capital level for each Enterprise at least quarterly by applying the risk-based capital test described in appendix A to this subpart to determine the amount of total capital required for each Enterprise to maintain positive capital during the stress period. In making this determination, the Director shall take into account any appropriate distinctions among types of mortgage products, differences in seasoning of mortgages, and other factors determined appropriate by the Director in accordance with the methodology specified in appendix A to this subpart. The stress period has the following characteristics:
(1) Credit risk--With respect to mortgages owned or guaranteed by the Enterprise and other obligations of the Enterprise, losses occur throughout the United States at a rate of default and severity reasonably related, in accordance with appendix A to this subpart, to the benchmark loss experience.
(2) Interest rate risk--(i) In general. Interest rates decrease as described in paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section or increase as described in paragraph (a)(2)(iii) of this section, whichever would require more capital in the stress test for the Enterprise. Appendix A to this subpart contains a description of the methodology applied to implement the interest rate scenarios described in paragraphs (a)(2)(ii) and (iii) of this section.
(i) In general. Interest rates decrease as described in paragraph (a)(2)(ii) of this section or increase as described in paragraph (a)(2)(iii) of this section, whichever would require more capital in the stress test for the Enterprise. Appendix A to this subpart contains a description of the methodology applied to implement the interest rate scenarios described in paragraphs (a)(2)(ii) and (iii) of this section.
(ii) Decreases. The 10-year constant maturity Treasury yield decreases during the first year of the stress period and remains at the new level for the remainder of the stress period. The yield decreases to the lesser of--
(A) 600 basis points below the average yield during the 9 months immediately preceding the stress period, or
(B) 60 percent of the average yield during the 3 years immediately preceding the stress period, but in no case to a yield less than 50 percent of the average yield during the 9 months immediately preceding the stress period.
(iii) Increases. The 10-year constant maturity Treasury yield increases during the first year of the stress period and will remain at the new level for the remainder of the stress period. The yield increases to the greater of--
(A) 600 basis points above the average yield during the 9 months immediately preceding the stress period, or
(B) 160 percent of the average yield during the 3 years immediately preceding the stress period, but in no case to a yield greater than 175 percent of the average yield during the 9 months immediately preceding the stress period.
(iv) Different terms to maturity. Yields of Treasury instruments with terms to maturity other than 10 years will change relative to the 10-year constant maturity Treasury yield in patterns and for durations that are reasonably related to historical experience and are judged reasonable by the Director. The methodology used by the Director to adjust the yields of those other instruments is specified in appendix A to this subpart.
(v) Large increases in yields. If the 10-year constant maturity Treasury yield is assumed to increase by more than 50 percent over the average yield during the 9 months immediately preceding the stress period, the Director shall adjust the losses resulting from the conditions specified in paragraph (a)(2)(iii) of this section to reflect a correspondingly higher rate of general price inflation. The method of such adjustment by the Director is specified in appendix A to this subpart.
(3) New business. Any contractual commitments of the Enterprise to purchase mortgages or issue securities will be fulfilled. The characteristics of resulting mortgages purchased, securities issued, and other financing will be consistent with the contractual terms of such commitments, recent experience, and the economic characteristics of the stress period, as more fully specified in appendix A to this subpart. No other purchases of mortgages shall be assumed.
(4) Other activities. Losses or gains on other activities, including interest rate and foreign exchange hedging activities, shall be determined by the Director, in accordance with appendix A to this subpart and on the basis of available information, to be consistent with the stress period.
(5) Consistency. Characteristics of the stress period other than those specifically set forth in paragraph (a) of this section, such as prepayment experience and dividend policies, will be determined by the Director, in accordance with appendix A to this subpart, on the basis of available information, to be most consistent with the stress period.
(b) Risk-Based Capital Level. The risk-based capital level of an Enterprise, to be used in determining the appropriate capital classification of each Enterprise, as required by section 1364 of the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 (12 U.S.C. 4614), shall be equal to the sum of the following amounts:
(1) Credit and Interest Rate Risk. The amount of total capital determined by applying the risk-based capital test under paragraph (a) of this section to the Enterprise.
(2) Management and Operations Risk. To provide for management and operations risk, 30 percent of the amount of total capital determined by applying the risk-based capital test under paragraph (a) of this section to the Enterprise.

1.0 Identification of the Benchmark Loss Experience
OFHEO will use the definitions, data, and methodology described below to identify the Benchmark Loss Experience.
1.1 Definitions
The terms defined in the Glossary to this appendix shall apply for this appendix.
1.2 Data
[a] OFHEO identifies the Benchmark Loss Experience (BLE) using historical loan-level data required to be submitted by each of the two Enterprises. OFHEO's analysis is based entirely on the data available through 1995 on conventional, 30-year, fixed-rate loans secured by first liens on single-unit, owner-occupied, detached properties. For this purpose, detached properties are defined as single family properties excluding condominiums, planned urban developments, and cooperatives. The data includes only loans that were purchased by an Enterprise within 12 months after loan origination and loans for which the Enterprise has no recourse to the lender.
[b] OFHEO organizes the data from each Enterprise to create two substantially consistent data sets. OFHEO separately analyzes default and severity data from each Enterprise. Default rates are calculated from loan records meeting the criteria specified above. Severity rates are calculated from the subset of defaulted loans for which loss data are available.
1.3 Procedures
[a] Cumulative ten-year default rates for each combination of states and origination years (state/year combination) that OFHEO examines are calculated for each Enterprise by grouping all of the Enterprise's loans originated in that combination of states and years. For origination years with less than ten-years of loss experience, cumulative-to-date default rates are used. The two Enterprise default rates are averaged, yielding an ``average default rate'' for that state/year combination.
[b] An ``average severity rate'' for each state/year combination is determined in the same manner as the average default rate. For each Enterprise, the aggregate severity rate is calculated for all loans in the relevant state/year combination and the two Enterprise severity rates are averaged.
[c] The ``loss rate'' for any state/year combination examined is calculated by multiplying the average default rate for that state/year combination by the average severity rate for that combination.
[d] The rates of default and Loss Severity of loans in the state/year combination containing at least two consecutive origination years and contiguous areas with a total population equal to or greater than five percent of the population of the United States with the highest loss rate constitutes the Benchmark Loss Experience.
2.0 Identification of a New Benchmark Loss Experience
OFHEO will periodically monitor available data and reevaluate the Benchmark Loss Experience using the methodology set forth in this appendix. Using this methodology, OFHEO may identify a new Benchmark Loss Experience that has a higher rate of loss than the Benchmark Loss Experience identified at the time of the issuance of this regulation. In the event such a Benchmark Loss Experience is identified, OFHEO may incorporate the resulting higher loss rates in the Stress Test.
3.0 Computation of the Risk-Based Capital Requirement
3.1 Data
3.1.1 Introduction
[a] The Stress Test requires data on all of an Enterprise's assets, liabilities, stockholders equity, accounting entries, operations and off-balance sheet obligations, as well as economic factors that affect them: interest rates, house prices, rent growth rates, and vacancy rates. The Enterprises are responsible for compiling and aggregating data on at least a quarterly basis into a standard format called the Risk-Based Capital Report (RBC Report). Each Enterprise is required to certify that the RBC Report submission is complete and accurate. Data on economic factors, such as interest rates, are compiled from public sources. The Stress Test uses proprietary and public data directly, and also uses values derived from such data in the form of constants or default values. (See Table 3-1, Sources of Stress Test Input Data.) Data fields from each of these sources for Stress Test computations are described in the following tables and in each section of this appendix.
[b] The RBC Report includes information for all the loans owned or guaranteed by an Enterprise, as well as securities and derivative contracts, the dollar balances of these instruments and obligations, as well as all characteristics that bear on their behavior under stress conditions. As detailed in the RBC Report, data are required for all the following categories of instruments and obligations:
Mortgages owned by or underlying mortgage-backed securities (MBS) issued by the Enterprises (whole loans)
Mortgage-related securities
Nonmortgage related securities, whether issued by an Enterprise, (e.g., debt) or held as investments
Derivative contracts
Other off-balance sheet guarantees (e.g., guarantees of private-issue securities).

3.1.2 Risk-Based Capital Report
The Risk-Based Capital Report is comprised of information on whole loans, mortgage-related securities, nonmortgage instruments (including liabilities and derivatives), and accounting items (including off-balance sheet guarantees). In addition to their reported data, the Enterprises may report scale factors in order to reconcile this reported data with their published financials (see section 3.10.2[b] of this appendix). If so, specific data items, as indicated, are adjusted by appropriate scale factors before any calculations occur.
3.1.2.1 Whole Loan Inputs
[a] Whole loans are individual single family or multifamily mortgage loans. The Stress Test distinguishes between whole loans that the Enterprises hold in their investment portfolios (retained loans) and those that underlie mortgage-backed securities (sold loans). Consistent with Table 3-2, Whole Loan Classification Variables, each Enterprise aggregates the data for loans with similar portfolio (retained or sold), risk, and product characteristics. The characteristics of these loan groups determine rates of mortgage Default, Prepayment and Loss Severity and cash flows.
[b] The characteristics that are the basis for loan groups are called ``classification variables'' and reflect categories, e.g., fixed interest rate versus floating interest rate, or identify a value range, e.g., original loan-to-value (LTV) ratio greater than 80 percent and less than or equal to 90 percent.
[c] All loans with the same values for each of the relevant classification variables included in 3-2 (and where applicable 3-3 and 3-4) comprise a single loan group. For example, one loan group includes all loans with the following characteristics:
Single family
Sold portfolio
30-year fixed rate conventional loan
Mortgage age greater than or equal to 36 months and less than 48 months
Original LTV greater than 75 percent and less than or equal to 80 percent
Current mortgage interest rate class greater than or equal to six percent and less than seven percent
Secured by property located in the East North Central Census Division
Relative loan size greater than or equal to 75 percent and less than 100 percent of the average for its state and origination year.

[a] The Enterprises report Commitment Loan Group categories based on specific product type characteristics of securitized single family loans originated and delivered during the six months prior to the start of the Stress Test (see section 3.2, Commitments, of this appendix). For each category, the Enterprises report the same information as for Whole Loan Groups with the following exceptions:
1. Amortization term and remaining term are set to those appropriate for newly originated loans;
2. Unamortized balances are set to zero;
3. The House Price Growth Factor is set to one;
4. Age is set to zero;
5. Any credit enhancement coverage other than mortgage insurance is not reported.
3.1.2.2 Mortgage Related Securities Inputs
[a] The Enterprises hold mortgage-related securities, including single class and Derivative Mortgage-Backed Securities (certain multi-class and strip securities) issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae; mortgage revenue bonds issued by State and local governments and their instrumentalities; and single class and Derivative Mortgage-Backed Securities issued by private entities. The Stress Test models the cash flows of these securities individually. Table 3-12, Inputs for Single Class MBS Cash Flows sets forth the data elements that the Enterprises must compile in the RBC Report regarding each MBS held in their portfolios. This information is necessary for determining associated cash flows in the Stress Test.

3.1.3 Public Data
3.1.3.1 Interest Rates
[a] The Interest Rates component of the Stress Test projects Treasury yields as well as other interest rate indexes that are needed to calculate cash flows, to simulate the performance of mortgages and other financial instruments, and to calculate capital for each of the 120 months in the Stress Period. Table 3-18, Interest Rate and Index Inputs, sets forth the interest rate indexes used in the Stress Test
[b] The starting values for all of the Interest Rates are the monthly average of daily rates for the month preceding the start of the stress test.
[c] For the 10-year CMT, monthly values are required for the three years prior to the start of the Stress Test (m = -35, -34...0). For all other indexes, monthly values for the prior two years are required (m = -23, -22...0).

3.2 Commitments
3.2.1 Commitments Overview
The Enterprises make contractual commitments to purchase or securitize mortgages. The Stress Test provides for deliveries of mortgages into the commitments that exist at the start of the Stress Period. These mortgages are grouped into ``Commitment Loan Groups'' that reflect the characteristics of the mortgages that were originated in the six months preceding the start of the Stress Period and securitized by the Enterprise, except that they are assigned coupon rates consistent with the projected delivery month in each interest rate scenario. These Commitment Loan Groups are added to the Enterprise's sold portfolio and the Stress Test projects their performance during the Stress Period. In the down-rate scenario, the Stress Test provides that 100 percent of the mortgages specified in the commitments are delivered within the first three months. In the up-rate scenario, 75 percent are delivered within the first six months.
3.2.2 Commitments Inputs
The Stress Test uses two sources of data to determine the characteristics of the mortgages delivered under commitments:
Information from the Enterprises on the characteristics of loans originated and delivered to the Enterprises in the six months preceding the start of the Stress Period, broken out into four categories, scaled by the dollar value of commitments outstanding at the start of the Stress Period;
Interest Rate series generated by the Interest Rates component of the Stress Test.
3.2.2.1 Loan Data
[a] The Enterprises report Commitment Loan Group categories based on the following product type characteristics of securitized single family loans originated and delivered during the six months prior to the start of the Stress Test:
30-year fixed-rate
15-year fixed-rate
One-year CMT ARM
Seven-year balloon
[b] For each Commitment Loan Group category, the Enterprises report the same information as in section 3.6 for Whole Loan groups with the following exceptions:
Amortization term and remaining term are set to those appropriate for newly originated loans
Unamortized balances are set to zero
The House Price Growth Factor is set to one
Age is set to zero
Any credit enhancement coverage other than mortgage insurance is not reported.
[c] For each Commitment Loan Group category, the Enterprises report the Starting UPB defined as follows:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.000
3.2.2.2 Interest Rate Data
The Stress Test uses the following Interest Rate series, generated from section 3.3, Interest Rates, of this appendix, for the first 12 months of the Stress Period:
One-year Constant Maturity Treasury yield (CMT)
Conventional mortgage rate (30-year fixed rate)
15-year fixed-rate mortgage rate
Seven-year balloon mortgage rate.
3.2.3 Commitments Procedures
[a] Determine Commitment Loan Groups from the Commitment Loan Group categories as follows:1. Divide each category into one subcategory for each delivery month. Three subcategories are created in the down-rate scenario and six in the up-rate scenario.2. Calculate the total starting UPB for each subcategory as follows:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.001 Where: MDP is taken from Table 3-25.
Table 3-25--Monthly Deliveries as a Percentage of Commitments
Outstanding (MDP)------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up-Rate Down-Rate
Delivery Month (DM) Scenario Scenario
MDP MDP------------------------------------------------------------------------1 18.75% 62.50%------------------------------------------------------------------------2 18.75% 25.00%------------------------------------------------------------------------3 12.50% 12.50%------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 12.50% 0.00%------------------------------------------------------------------------5 6.25% 0.00%------------------------------------------------------------------------6 6.25% 0.00%------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total 75% 100%------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. Set the Initial Mortgage Interest Rate for each subcategory using the interest rate series consistent with the commitment product type. For fixed rate loans, this rate = INDEXDM. For ARM loans, the Initial Mortgage Interest Rate and the Mortgage Interest Rate at Origination are equal and set to INDEXDM-LB-1+MARGIN, where LB (Lookback Period) and MARGIN for ARM commitment loan groups come from the RBC Report. Calculate the mortgage payment amount consistent with the Initial rate and amortizing term.
[b] Cash flows for the commitment loan groups, broken down by subcategory corresponding to assumed month of delivery to the Enterprises, are to be generated using the same procedures as contained in section 3.6, Whole Loan Cash Flows, of this appendix, except as follows:1. For purposes of generating cash flows, treat each commitment loan
subcategory as if the loans were newly originated and
delivered just prior to the start of the Stress Test (that is,
treat them as if mortgage age at time zero, A0,
were zero).2. Wherever section 3.6, Whole Loan Cash Flows, of this appendix, refers
to interest rate or discount rate adjustments, add Delivery
Month (DM) to the Interest Rate or discount rate monthly
counter, where constant DM [isin] [1,2,3,4,5,6] refers to the
number of months into the Stress Test that the commitment
subcategory is assumed to be delivered to the Enterprise. For
example,
a. Section 3.6.3.3.3[a]1.b.3) of this appendix, if m is a rate reset month, then:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.002
b. Section 3.6.3.4.3.1[a]3.a., of this appendix,

f. Section 3.6.3.7.3[a]9.b., of this appendix. The formula for float income received should replace FERm with FERm+DM 3. For purpose of computing LTVq as defined in section
3.6.3.4.3.1[a]2.a., of this appendix, adjust the quarterly
index for the vector of house price growth rates by adding
DQ=2 if the loans are delivered in the Stress Test month 6, DQ
= 1 if the loans are delivered in Stress Test months 3, 4 or
5, and 0 otherwise. That is, in the LTVq formula:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.006
Where:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.007 4. The note at the end of section 3.6.3.4.3.2[a]5., of this appendix,
should be adjusted to read: for m 120-DM, use
MPR120-DM and MDR120-DM.5. Adjust the final outputs for each commitment subcategory by adding DM
to each monthly counter, m. That is, the outputs in Table 3-52
and 3-55 should be revised to replace each value's monthly
counter of m with the new counter of m + DM, which will modify
the description of each to read ``in month m = 1 + DM, ...
RM+DM''. (Note that for one variable, PUPBm, the
revised counter will range from DM to RM + DM). The revised
monthly counters will now correspond to the months of the
Stress Test. For values of m under the revised description
which are less than or equal to DM, each variable (except
Performing UPB) in these two tables should equal zero. For
Performing UPB in month DM, the variable will equal the
Original UPB for month DM and will equal zero for months less
than DM.
3.2.4 Commitments Outputs
[a] The outputs of the Commitment component of the Stress Test include Commitment Loan Groups specified in the same way as loan groups in the RBC Report (See section 3.6, Whole Loan Cash Flows, of this appendix) with two exceptions: mortgage insurance is the only available credit enhancement coverage; and delivery month is added to indicate the month in which these loan groups are added to the sold portfolio. The data for these loan groups allow the Stress Test to project the Default, Prepayment and loss rates and cash flows for loans purchased under commitments for the ten-year Stress Period.
[b] The Commitment outputs also include cash flows analagous to those specified for Whole Loans in section 3.6.4, Final Whole Loan Cash Flow Outputs, of this appendix, which are produced for each Commitment Loan Group.
3.3 Interest Rates
3.3.1 Interest Rates Overview
[a] The Interest Rates component of the Stress Test projects Constant Maturity Treasury yields as well as other interest rates and indexes (collectively, ``Interest Rates'') that are needed to project mortgage performance and calculate cash flows for mortgages and other financial instruments for each of the 120 months in the Stress Period.
[b] The process for determining Interest Rates is as follows: first, identify the values for the necessary Interest Rates at time zero; second, project the ten-year CMT for each month of the Stress Period as specified in the 1992 Act; third, project the 1-month Treasury yield, the 3-month, 6-month, 1-, 2-, 3-, 5-, 20-year, and 30-year CMTs; fourth, project non-treasury Interest Rates, including the Federal Agency Cost of Funds Index; and fifth, project the Enterprises Cost of Funds Index, which provides borrowing rates for the Enterprises during the Stress Period, by increasing the Agency Cost of Funds Index by 10 basis points for the last 108 months of the Stress Test. Guidance in determining interest rates is available under OFHEO Guideline No. 402, ``Risk Based Capital Process for Capturing and Utilizing Interest Rates Files,'' which is available on OFHEO's Web site, http://www.OFHEO.Gov.
[c] In cases where the Stress Test would require interest rates for maturities other than those specifically projected in Table 3-18 of section 3.1.3, Public Data, of this appendix, the Interest Rates component performs a monthly linear interpolation. In cases where the Stress Test would require an Interest Rate for a maturity greater than the longest maturity specifically projected for that index, the Stress Test would use the longest maturity for that index.
3.3.2 Interest Rates Inputs
The Interest Rates that are input to the Stress Test are set forth in Table 3-18 of section 3.1.3, Public Data, of this appendix. Inputs for the 30-year CMT yield after February 15, 2002 are estimated according to the Department of Treasury methodology using long-term average rates and extrapolation factors.
3.3.3 Interest Rates Procedures
[a] Produce Interest Rates for use in the Stress Test using the following three steps:1. Project the Ten-Year CMT as specified in the 1992 Act:
a. Down-Rate Scenario. In the Stress Test, the ten-year CMT changes from its starting level to its new level in equal increments over the first twelve months of the Stress Period, and remains constant at the new level for the remaining 108 months of the Stress Period. The new level of the ten-year CMT in the last 108 months of the down-rate scenario equals the lesser of:
1) The average of the ten-year CMT for the nine months prior to the start of the Stress Test, minus 600 basis points; or
2) The average yield of the ten-year CMT for the 36 months prior to the start of the Stress Test, multiplied by 60 percent; but in no case less than 50 percent of the average for the nine months preceding the start of the Stress Period.
b. Up-Rate Scenario. In the Stress Test, the ten-year CMT changes from its starting level to its new level in equal increments over the first twelve months of the Stress Period, and remains at the new level for the remaining 108 months of the Stress Period. The new level of the ten-year CMT in the last 108 months of the up-rate scenario is the greater of:
1) The average of the ten-year CMT for the nine months prior to the start of the Stress Test, plus 600 basis points; or
2) The average of the ten-year CMT for the 36 months prior to the start of the Stress Test, multiplied by 160 percent; but in no case greater than 175 percent of the average of the ten-year CMT for the nine months preceding the start of the Stress Period.2. Project the 1-month Treasury and other CMT yields:
a. Down-Rate Scenario. For the down-rate scenario, the new value of each of the other Treasury and CMT yields for the last 108 months of the Stress Test is calculated by multiplying the ten-year CMT by the appropriate ratio from Table 3-26. For the first 12 months of the Stress Period, the other rates are computed in the same way as the ten-year CMT, i.e. from their time zero levels. Each of the other CMTs changes in equal steps in each of the first twelve months of the Stress Period until it reaches the new level for the remaining 108 months of the Stress Test.
Table 3-26--CMT Ratios to the Ten-Year CMT \1\------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------1 MO / 10 YR 0.68271------------------------------------------------------------------------3 MO / 10 YR 0.73700------------------------------------------------------------------------6 MO / 10 YR 0.76697------------------------------------------------------------------------1 YR / 10 YR 0.79995------------------------------------------------------------------------2 YR / 10 YR 0.86591------------------------------------------------------------------------3 YR / 10 YR 0.89856------------------------------------------------------------------------5 YR / 10 YR 0.94646------------------------------------------------------------------------20 YR / 10 YR 1.06246------------------------------------------------------------------------30 YR / 10 YR 1.03432------------------------------------------------------------------------\1\ Source: calculated over the period from May, 1986, through April,
1995.
b. Up-Rate Scenario. In the up-rate scenario, all other Treasury and CMT yields are equal to the ten-year CMT in the last 108 months of the Stress Test. Each of the other yields changes in equal increments over the first twelve months of the Stress Test until it equals the ten-year CMT.3. Project Non-Treasury Interest Rates:
a. Non-Treasury Rates. For each of the non-Treasury interest rates with the exception of mortgage rates, rates during the Stress Test are computed as a proportional spread to the nearest maturity Treasury yield as given in Table 3-27. The proportional spread is the average over the two years prior to the start of the Stress Test, of the difference between the non-Treasury rate and the comparable maturity Treasury yield divided by that Treasury yield. For example, the three month LIBOR proportional spread would be calculated as the two year average of the ratio:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.008
During the Stress Test, the 3-month LIBOR rate is projected by multiplying the 3-month Treasury yield by 1 plus this average proportional spread.
b. Mortgage Rates. Mortgage interest rates are projected as described in this section for other non-Treasury interest rates, except that an average of the additive, not proportional, spread to the appropriate Treasury interest rate is used. For example, the 30-year Conventional Mortgage Rate spread is projected as the average, over the two years preceding the start of the Stress Test, of: (Conventional Mortgage Rate minus the ten-year CMT). This spread is then added to the ten-year CMT for the 120 months of the Stress Test to obtain the projected Conventional Mortgage Rate.

c. Enterprise Borrowing Rates. In the Stress Test, the Federal Agency Cost of Funds Index is the same as the Enterprise Cost of Funds Index during the Stress Period, except that the Stress Test adds a 10 basis-point credit spread to the Federal Agency Cost of Funds rates to project Enterprise Cost of Funds rates for the last 108 months of the Stress Period.
3.3.4 Interest Rates Outputs
Interest Rate outputs are monthly values for: the projected ten points on the Treasury yield curve (1-month, 3-month, 6-month, 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, 5-year, 10-year, 20-year and 30-year); the 21 non-Treasury rates contained in Table 3-27; and the nine points on the Enterprise Cost of Funds curve.
3.4 Property Valuation
3.4.1 Property Valuation Overview
[a] The Property Valuation component applies inflation adjustments to the single family house price growth rates and multifamily rent growth rates that are used to determine single family property values and multifamily current debt-service coverage ratios during the up-rate scenario, as required by the 1992 Act.
[b] Single family house price growth rates during the 120 months of the Stress Test are calculated from the HPI series for the West South Central Census Division for the years 1984-1993, as derived from OFHEO's Third Quarter, 1996 HPI Report. The West South Central Census Division includes Texas and all of the Benchmark states except Mississippi. This series is applied to single family loans nationwide during the Stress Test because the 1992 Act applies a regional loss experience (the BLE) to the entire nation. In contrast, house prices are brought forward to the start of the Stress Test based on local Census Division HPI values available at the start of the Stress Test.
[c] Multifamily rent growth rates during the 120 months of the Stress Test are computed using a population-weighted average of the monthly growth of the Rent of Primary Residence component of the Consumer Price Index-Urban, which is generated by the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. The metropolitan areas used for this computation are the Dallas/Ft. Worth CMSA, the Houston/Galveston/Brazoria CMSA, and the New Orleans MSA.
[d] Multifamily rental vacancy rates during the 120 months of the Stress Test are computed using a population-weighted average of annual rental vacancy rates from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census' Housing Vacancy Survey. The metropolitan areas used for this computation are the Dallas, Houston and Fort Worth PMSAs and the San Antonio, New Orleans and Oklahoma City MSAs.
[e] Inflation adjustment. In the up-rate scenario, if the ten-year CMT rises more than 50 percent above the average yield during the nine months preceding the Stress Period, rent and house price growth rates are adjusted to account for inflation as required by the 1992 Act. The single family House Price Growth Rates and the multifamily Rent Growth Rates are increased by the amount by which the ten-year CMT exceeds 50 percent of its annualized monthly yield averaged over the nine months preceding the Stress Test. The inflation adjustment is applied only in the last 60 months of the Stress Period.
3.4.2 Property Valuation Inputs

3.4.3 Property Valuation Procedures for Inflation Adjustment
[a] Calculate inflation-adjusted House Price Growth Rates and Rent Growth Rates using the following six steps:1. Calculate the Inflation-Adjustment (IA) for the up-rate stress test,
as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.009
Where: CMT10\MAX\ is the value of the ten-year CMT during the last 108 months
of the up-rate Stress Test. 2. The Inflation Adjustment (IA) is compounded annually over 9 years and
2 months (110 months) to obtain the Cumulative Inflation
Adjustment (CIA) according to the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.010
3. For single family house prices, convert the CIA to continuously
compounded quarterly factors, the Quarterly House Price Growth
Adjustments (QHGAq), which take on positive values
only in the last twenty quarters of the Stress Test, using: [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.011 4. For Multifamily rent growth, the CIA is converted to discrete monthly
factors or Monthly Rent Growth Adjustments (MRGAm),
and is applied only in the last 60 months of the Stress Test
in the up-rate scenario, as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.012
5. Calculate the inflation-adjusted House Price Growth Rates
(HPGRq), used in updating single family house
prices during the Stress Test:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.013
6. Calculate inflation-adjusted Rent Growth Rates (RGRm),
used in updating Multifamily debt-service coverage ratios
during the Stress Test:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.014
3.4.4 Property Valuation Outputs
[a] The outputs of the Property Valuation component of the Stress Test are set forth in Table 3-29.

[b] Inflation-adjusted House Price Growth Rates (HPGRq) are inputs to the Single Family Default and Prepayment component of the Stress Test (see section 3.6.3.4, of this appendix). Inflation-adjusted Rent Growth Rates (RGRm) and Rental Vacancy Rates (RVRm) are inputs to the Multifamily Default and Prepayment component (see section 3.6.3.5, of this appendix).
3.5 Counterparty Defaults
3.5.1 Counterparty Defaults Overview
The Counterparty Defaults component of the Stress Test accounts for the risk of default by credit enhancement and derivative contract counterparties, corporate securities, municipal securities, and mortgage-related securities. The Stress Test recognizes five rating categories (``AAA'', ``AA'', ``A'', ``BBB'', and ``Below BBB and Unrated'') and establishes appropriate credit loss factors that are applied during the Stress Period. Securities rated below BBB are treated as unrated securities, unless OFHEO determines to specify a different treatment upon a showing by an Enterprise that a different treatment is warranted.
3.5.2 Counterparty Defaults Input
For counterparties and securities, information on counterparty type and the lowest public rating of the counterparty is required. The Stress Test uses credit ratings issued by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (``NRSROs'') to assign rating categories to counterparties and securities. If a counterparty or security has different ratings from different rating agencies, i.e., a ``split rating,'' or has a long-term rating and a short-term rating, then the lower rating is used.
3.5.3 Counterparty Defaults Procedures
[a] Apply the following three steps to determine maximum haircuts:1. Identifying Counterparties. The Stress Test divides all sources of
credit risk other than mortgage default into two categories--
(1) derivative contract counterparties and (2) non-derivative
contract
counterparties and instruments. Non-derivative contract
counterparties and instruments include mortgage insurance (MI)
counterparties, seller-servicers, mortgage-related securities
such as mortgage revenue bonds (MRBs) and private label
REMICS, and nonmortgage investments such as corporate and
municipal bonds and asset-backed securities (ABSs).2. Classify Rating Categories.
a. Stress Test rating categories are defined as set forth in Table 3-30. Organizations frequently apply modifiers (numerical, plus, minus) to the generic rating classifications. In order to determine the correct mapping, ignore these modifiers except as noted in Table 3-30.
Table 3-30--Rating Agencies Mappings to OFHEO Ratings Categories----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Financial Strength
Rating----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\1\ Any rating that appears in more than one OFHEO category column is assigned the lower OFHEO rating category.
b. The Stress Test also includes a ratings classification called cash. This includes cash equivalents as defined in FAS 95, Government securities, and securities of the reporting Enterprise.
c. Unrated, unsubordinated obligations issued by Government Sponsored Enterprises other than the reporting Enterprise are treated as AAA. Unrated seller-servicers are treated as BBB.
d. The Stress Test will permit a higher rating to be used for an unrated seller-servicer who participates in a multifamily delegated underwriting and servicing program that requires a loss-sharing agreement when: (1) The loss sharing agreement is collateralized by a fully funded reserve account pledged to the Enterprise; and (2) the reserve account is in an amount that is equal to or exceeds the amount that OFHEO has determined to be adequate to support the seller-servicer's loss-sharing obligation under the program. Determinations of the reserve requirement and of the rating that will be permitted will be made on a program-by-program and Enterprise-by-Enterprise basis by the Director.3. Determine Maximum Haircuts. The Stress Test specifies the Maximum
Haircut (i.e., the maximum reduction applied to cash flows
during the Stress Test to reflect the risk of loss due to
counterparty (including security) default) by rating category
and counterparty type as shown in Table 3-31.
a. The Maximum Haircut for a rating category is the product of its default rate and its loss severity rate. For all counterparties, the default rates are 5 percent for AAA, 12.5 percent for AA, 20 percent for A, 40 percent for BBB and 100 percent for Below BBB and Unrated. For non-derivative counterparties, the loss severity rate is 70 percent; for derivative counterparties, it is 10 percent. For all Below BBB and Unrated counterparties, the loss severity rate is 100 percent.
b. For periods prior to the implementation of netting, a separate set of Maximum Haircuts (set forth in Table 3-31) will be applied to derivative contract cash flows to approximate the impact of the net exposures to derivative contract counterparties (see section 3.8.3, Nonmortgage Instrument Procedures). After the implementation of netting, exposures will be netted as described in section 3.8.3 before the haircut is applied.
c. With the exception of haircuts for the Below BBB and Unrated category, haircuts for all counterparty categories are phased-in linearly over the 120 months of the Stress Period. The Maximum Haircut is applied in month 120 of the Stress Period. Haircuts for the Below BBB and Unrated category are applied fully starting in the first month of the Stress Test.

3.6 Whole Loan Cash Flows
3.6.1 Whole Loan Cash Flows Overview
[a] Loan Aggregation. In the Stress Test calculations (except as described in section 3.6.3.6.4, Mortgage Credit Enhancement, of this appendix), individual loans having similar characteristics are aggregated into Loan Groups as described in section 3.1.2.1, Whole Loan Inputs, of this appendix (RBC Report). All individual loans within a Loan Group are considered to be identical for computational purposes. In the discussions in this section, quantities described as ``loan level'' will actually be computed at the Loan Group level.
[b] Loan Participations. In some cases, an Enterprise may hold only a pari passu fractional ownership interest in a loan. This interest is referred to as a participation, and is specified by the ownership percentage held by the Enterprise (the participation percentage). In such cases, the Unpaid Principal Balance (UPB) and Mortgage Payment reported in the RBC Report will be only the Enterprise's participation percentage of the loan's actual UPB and Mortgage Payment. The actual UPB is not explicitly used in the calculations described in this section 3.6 but it is used in the creation of the RBC Report.
[c] Retained Loans vs. Sold Loans. The Stress Test models cash flows from single family and multifamily mortgage loans that are held in portfolio (Retained Loans) and loans that are pooled into Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBSs) that are sold to investors and guaranteed by the Enterprises (Sold Loans). Together, Retained Loans and Sold Loans are referred to as ``Whole Loans.'' The treatment of cash flows for loans not guaranteed by the Enterprises, e.g., loans backing GNMA Certificates and private label MBSs and REMICs, is discussed in section 3.7, Mortgage-Related Securities Cash Flows, of this appendix.
[d] Repurchased MBSs. From time to time an Enterprise may repurchase all or part of one of its own previously issued single-class MBSs for its own securities portfolio. At an Enterprise's option, these ``Repurchased MBSs'' may be reported with the underlying Whole Loans for computation in this section 3.6 rather than in section 3.7, Mortgage-Related Securities Cash Flows, of this appendix. In such cases, the Enterprise will report the underlying Whole Loans as sold loans, along with the appropriate Fraction Repurchased and any security unamortized balances associated with the purchase of the MBS (not with the original sale of the underlying loans, which unamortized balances are reported separately).
[e] Sources of Enterprise Whole Loan Cash Flows. For Retained Loans, the Enterprises receive all principal and interest payments on the loans, except for a portion of the interest payment retained by the servicer as compensation (the Servicing Fee). For Sold Loans, the Enterprises receive Guarantee Fees and Float Income. Float Income is the earnings on the investment of loan principal and interest payments (net of the Servicing Fee and Guarantee Fee) from the time these payments are received from the servicer until they are remitted to security holders. The length of this period depends on the security payment cycle (the remittance cycle). For both retained and sold loans, the Enterprises retain 100 percent of their credit losses and experience amortization of discounts as income and amortization of premiums as expense. For Repurchased MBSs, the Enterprise receives the Fraction Repurchased of the cash flows it remits to investors, and retains 100 percent of the Credit Losses and the Guarantee Fee. See section 3.6.3.7, Stress Test Whole Loan Cash Flows and section 3.6.3.8, Whole Loan Accounting Flows, of this appendix.
[f] Required Inputs. The calculation of Whole Loan cash flows requires mortgage Amortization Schedules, mortgage Prepayment, Default and Loss Severity rates, and Credit Enhancement information. The four mortgage performance components of the Stress Test are single family Default and Prepayment, single family Loss Severity, multifamily Default and Prepayment, and multifamily Loss Severity. Mortgage Amortization Schedules are computed from input data in the RBC Report. (For ARMs, selected interest rate indexes from section 3.3, Interest Rates, of this appendix, are also used.) Prepayment and Default Rates are computed by combining explanatory variables and weighting coefficients according to a set of logistic equations. The explanatory variables are computed from the mortgage Amortization Schedule and external economic variables such as Interest Rates (section 3.3, Interest Rates, of this appendix), historical house-price indexes (HPIs) or rental-price indexes (RPIs), and Stress Period HPI growth rate, RPI and Vacancy Rate (RVR) series from section 3.4, Property Valuation, of this appendix. The weighting coefficients determine the relative importance of the different explanatory variables, and are estimated from a statistical analysis of data from the Benchmark Loss region and time period as described in section 1, Identification of the Benchmark Loss Experience, of this appendix. Mortgage Amortization information is also combined with HPI, RPI and VR series to determine Gross Loss Severity rates, which are offset by Credit Enhancements. Finally, the Amortization Schedules, Default and Prepayment rates and Net Loss Severity rates are combined to produce Stress Test Whole Loan Cash Flows to the Enterprises for each Loan Group, as well as amortization of any discounts, premiums and fees.
[g] Specification of Mortgage Prepayment. Mortgages are assumed to prepay in full. The model makes no specific provision for partial Prepayments of principal (curtailments).
[h] Specification of Mortgage Default and Loss. Mortgage Defaults are modeled as follows: Defaulting loans enter foreclosure after a number of missed payments (MQ, Months in Delinquency), and are foreclosed upon several months later. Months in Foreclosure (MF) is the total number of missed payments through foreclosure. Upon completion of foreclosure, the loan as such ceases to exist and the property becomes Real Estate Owned by the lender (REO). Foreclosure expenses are paid and MI proceeds received when foreclosure is completed. After several more months (MR, Months in REO), the property is sold, REO expenses are paid, and sales proceeds and other credit enhancements are received. These timing differences are not modeled explicitly in the cash flows, but their economic effect is taken into account by calculating the present value of the Default-related cash flows back to the initial month of Default.
[i] Combining Cash Flows from Scheduled Payments, Prepayments and Defaults. Aggregate Whole Loan Cash Flows, adjusted for the effects of mortgage performance, are based on the following conceptual equation, which is made more explicit in the calculations in the sections specified in section 3.6.2 of this appendix:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.015

3.6.3 Whole Loan Cash Flows Procedures
3.6.3.1 Timing Conventions
[a] Calculations are monthly. The Stress Test operates monthly, with all events of a given type assumed to take place on the same day of the month. For mortgages, unless otherwise specified, all payments and other mortgage-related cash flows that are due on the first day of the month are received on the fifteenth. Biweekly loans are mapped into their closest term-equivalent monthly counterpart.
[b] ``Time Zero'' for Calculations. Time Zero refers to the beginning of the Stress Test. For example, if the 2Q2000 Stress Test uses Enterprise Data as of June 30, ``month zero'' represents conditions as of June 30, the Stress Period begins July 1, and July 2000 is month one of the Stress Test. In this document, UPB0 is the Unpaid Principal Balance of a loan immediately prior to (as of) the start of the Stress Test, i.e. as reported by the Enterprise in the RBC Report. Origination refers to the beginning of the life of the loan, which will be prior to the start of the Stress Test for all loans except those delivered later under Commitments, for which Origination refers to the delivery month (See section 3.2, Commitments, of this appendix).
[c] Definition of Mortgage Age. The Mortgage Age at a given time is the number of scheduled mortgage payment dates that have occurred prior to that time, whether or not the borrower has actually made the payments. Prior to the first payment date, the Mortgage Age would be zero. From the first payment date until (but not including) the second loan payment date, the Mortgage Age would be one. The Mortgage Age at Time Zero (A0) is thus the number of scheduled loan payment dates that have occurred prior to the start of the Stress Test. The scheduled payment date for all loans is assumed to be the first day of each month; therefore, the Mortgage Age will be A1 on the first day of the Stress Test (except for Commitments that are delivered after the start of the Stress Test).
[d] Interest Rate Setting Procedure. Mortgage interest is due in arrears, i.e., on the first day following the month in which it is accrued. Thus, a payment due on the first day of month m is for interest accrued during the prior month. For example, for Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) the Mortgage Interest Rate (MIRm) applicable to the July reset is set on the first day of June, and is generally based on the May or April value of the underlying Index, as specified in the loan terms. This Lookback Period (LB) is specified in the Stress Test as a period of one or two months, respectively. Thus, PMTm will be based on MIRm, which is based on INDEXm-1-LB.
[e] Prepayment Interest Shortfall. In some remittance cycles, the period between an Enterprise's receipt of Prepayments and transmittal to investors exceeds a full month. In those cases, the Enterprise must remit an additional month's interest (at the Pass-Through Rate) to MBS investors. See section 3.6.3.7.3, Stress Test Whole Loan Cash Flow Procedures, of this appendix.
[f] Certain Calculations Extend Beyond the End of the Stress Test. Even though the Stress Test calculates capital only through the ten year Stress Period, certain calculations (for example, the level yield amortization of discounts, premiums and fees, as described in section 3.10, Operations, Taxes, and Accounting, of this appendix) require cash flows throughout the life of the instrument. For such calculations in the Stress Test, the conditions of month 120 are held constant throughout the remaining life of the instrument: specifically, Interest Rates (which are already held constant for months 13 through 120), Prepayment and Default rates for months m 120 are taken to be equal to their respective values in month 120.
3.6.3.2 Payment Allocation Conventions
3.6.3.2.1 Allocation of Mortgage Interest
[a] Components of Mortgage Interest. The interest portion of the Mortgage Payment is allocated among several components. For all Whole Loans, a Servicing Fee is retained by the servicer. For Sold Loans, the Enterprise retains a Guarantee Fee. An additional amount of interest (Spread) \1\ may be deposited into a Spread Account to reimburse potential future credit losses on loans covered by this form of Credit Enhancement, as described further in section 3.6.3.6.4, Mortgage Credit Enhancement, of this appendix. The remaining interest amount is either retained by the Enterprise (Net Yield on Retained Loans) or passed through to MBS investors (Pass-Through Interest on Sold Loans).---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The spread may or may not be embedded in the recorded Servicing Fee.---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[b] Effect of Negative Amortization. If the Mortgage Payment is contractually limited to an amount less than the full amount accrued (as may be the case with loans that permit Negative Amortization), then the Servicing Fee, the Guarantee Fee and the spread are paid in full, and the shortfall is borne entirely by the recipient of the Net Yield or Pass-Through Interest.
[c] Effect of Variable Rates. For ARMs, the Servicing Fee, Guarantee Fee and Spread rates are taken to be constant over time, as they are for Fixed Rate Loans. Thus in the Stress Test the Mortgage Interest Rate and the Net Yield or Pass-through Rate will change simultaneously by equal amounts. All other details of the rate and payment reset mechanisms are modeled in accordance with the contractual terms using the inputs specified in section 3.6.3.3.2, Mortgage Amortization Schedule Inputs, of this appendix.
3.6.3.2.2 Allocation of Mortgage Principal
[a] Scheduled Principal is that amount of the mortgage payment that amortizes principal. For calculational purposes, when a loan prepays in full the amount specified in the Amortization Schedule is counted as Scheduled Principal, and the rest is Prepayment Principal. For a Balloon Loan, the final Balloon Payment includes the remaining UPB, all of which is counted as Scheduled Principal.
[b] Mortgages that prepay are assumed to prepay in full. Partial Prepayments (curtailments) are not modeled.
[c] Any loan that does not prepay or Default remains on its original Amortization Schedule.
3.6.3.3 Mortgage Amortization Schedule
3.6.3.3.1 Mortgage Amortization Schedule Overview
[a] The Stress Test requires an Amortization Schedule for each Loan Group. A mortgage is paid down, or amortized over time, to the extent that the contractual mortgage payment exceeds the amount required to cover interest due.
[b] Definitions.1. Fully Amortizing Loans. The Amortization Schedule for a mortgage with
age A0 at the beginning of the Stress Test is
generated using the starting UPB (UPB0), the
Remaining Term to Maturity (RM), the remaining Amortization
Term (AT-A0), the remaining Mortgage Payments
(PMTm for m = 1...RM) and Mortgage Interest Rates
(MIRm for m = 1...RM). The Amortization Schedule is
generated by repeating the following three steps iteratively
until the UPB is zero:
a. Interest Due =
UPB x Mortgage Interest Rate
b. Principal Amortization = Payment-Interest Due
c. Next period's UPB =
UPB-Principal Amortization
2. Balloon Loans. A Balloon Loan matures prior to its Amortizing Term, i.e. before the UPB is fully amortized to zero. Computationally, AT-A0 RM, usually by at least 180 months. In order that UPBRM = 0, the principal component of the resulting lump sum final payment (the Balloon Payment, equal to UPBRM-1) is counted as Scheduled Principal, not as a Prepayment.
[c] Special Cases. In general the UPB of a mortgage decreases monotonically over time, i.e. UPBm UPBm+1, reaching zero at maturity except for Balloon Loans as described in [b]2. in this section. However, in practice certain exceptions must be handled.1. Interest-Only Loans. Certain loans are interest-only for all or part
of their term. The monthly payment covers only the interest
due, and the UPB stays constant until maturity (in some
cases), in which case a Balloon Payment is due or a changeover
date (in other cases) at which time the payment is recast so
that the loan begins to amortize over its remaining term. If
the loan does not amortize fully over its remaining term, a
Balloon Payment will be due at maturity.2. Negative Amortization. For some loans, the UPB may increase for a
period of time if the mortgage payment is contractually
limited to an amount that is less than the amount of interest
due, and the remainder is added to the UPB. At some point,
however, the payment must exceed the interest due or else the
loan balance will never be reduced to zero. In the
calculation, this is permitted to occur only for payment-
capped ARMs that contractually specify negative amortization.
Certain types of FRMs, notably Graduated Payment Mortgages
(GPMs) and Tiered Payment Mortgages (TPMs), also have variable
payment schedules that result in negative amortization, but in
the Stress Test all such loans are assumed to have passed
their negative amortization periods.3. Early Amortization.
a. If a borrower has made additional principal payments (curtailments or partial prepayments) on a FRM prior to the start of the Stress Test, the contractual mortgage payment will amortize the loan prior to its final maturity, i.e. UPBm = 0 for some m RM = 0, it must be for one of
three reasons: a data error, an averaging artifact, or an
extension of the Amortization Schedule related to a
delinquency prior to the start of the Stress Test. In any such
case, the Stress Test does not recognize cash flows beyond the
scheduled maturity date and models the performing portion of
UPBRM in month RM as a credit loss.5. Biweekly Loans. Biweekly loans are mapped into the FRM category that
most closely approximates their final maturity.6. Step-Rate (or ``Two-Step'') Loans. Certain loans have an initial
interest rate for an extended period of time (typically
several years) and then ``step'' to a final fixed rate for the
remaining life of the loan. This final fixed rate may be
either a predetermined number or a margin over an index. Such
loans can be exactly represented as ARMs with the appropriate
Initial Mortgage Interest Rate and Initial Rate Period, Index
and Margin (if applicable). If the final rate is a
predetermined rate (e.g., 8 percent per annum) then the ARM's
Maximum and Minimum Rate should be set to that number. The
Rate and Payment Reset Periods should be set equal to the
final rate period after the step.7. Reverse Mortgages. In a reverse mortgage, a borrower receives one or
more payments from the lender and the lender is repaid with a
lump sum when the borrower dies, sells the property or moves
out of the home permanently. The stress test models reverse
mortgages as a ladder of zero-coupon securities:a. 11 proxy securities for each reverse mortgage program are created.b. A 10% conditional payment rate is used to create the zero-coupon
securities that will mature in every year of the stress test.
The zero-coupon securities are a laddered series of floating-
rate coupon-bearing accreting bonds with a first payment date
at maturity.c. The 11th zero-coupon security will mature three months after the
stress test to reflect the 35% of UPB not paid down during the
stress period.d. An OFHEO credit rating equivalent to AAA for the FHA insured programs
and AA for other reverse mortgage programs is assigned.8. Split-Rate ARM Loans. In split-rate ARM loans, the principal portion
of the payment is based on a fixed-rate amortization schedule
while the interest portion is based on a floating rate index.
These multifamily loans are available as fully amortizing
product or with a balloon feature. The stress test model does
not provide treatment for split-rate ARM loans. Split-rate
loans shall be treated as ARMs when they are issued without a
balloon payment feature or as Balloon ARMs when the loans
contain a balloon payment feature.

3.6.3.3.3 Mortgage Amortization Schedule Procedures
[a] For each Loan Group, calculate a mortgage Amortization Schedule using the inputs in Table 3-32 and the following ten steps. Note: Do not round dollar amounts to the nearest penny.)
For months m = 1...RM, calculate quantities for month m based on values from month m-1 as follows:1. Calculate current month's Mortgage Interest Rate (MIRm).
a. For FRMs: MIRm = MIR0 for all m = 1 to RM
b. For ARMs, use the following procedure:
1) If RRP = PRP then month m is a rate reset month if:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.016
2) If RRP [ne] PRP then month m is a rate reset month if either:
a) A0 + m - (IRP + 1) = 0, or
b) [A0 + m - 1] mod RRP = 0 and A0 + m - 1 =IRP
3) If m is a rate reset month, then:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.017
but not greater than MIRm-1 + Rate Reset Limit
nor less than MIRm-1 - Rate Reset Limit
and in no case greater than Maximum Rate
and in no case less than Minimum Rate
4) If month m is not a rate reset month, then MIRm = MIRm-1.
c. In all cases, MIRm = MIR120 for m 120, and MIRm = 0 for m RM.2. Calculate current month's Payment (PMTm).
a. For FRMs:
1) For Interest-Only Loans, if m = RIOP + 1 then month m is a reset month; recompute PMTm as described for ARMs in step b.4)b), of this section without applying any payment limit.
2) PMTm = PMT0 for all m = 1 to RM
b. For ARMs, use the following procedure:
1) For Interest Only Loans, if m = RIOP + 1 then month m is a payment reset month.
2) If PRP = RRP, then month m is a payment reset month if m is also a rate reset month.
3) If PRP [ne] RRP then month m is a payment reset month if:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.018
4) If month m is a payment reset month, then:
a) For loans in an Interest-only Period,
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.019
b) Otherwise, PMTm = the amount that will fully amortize the Loan over its remaining Amortizing Term (i.e. AT-Ao-m+1 months) with a fixed Mortgage Interest Rate equal to MIRm as determined in Step 1 of this section
but not greater than PMTm-1 x (1 + Payment Reset Limit Up)
nor less than PMTm-1 x (1-Payment Reset Limit Down)
unless month m is the month following the end of an Unlimited Payment Reset Period, in which case PMTm is not subject to any reset limitations.
5) If month m is not a payment reset month, then PMTm = PMTm-1
6) If, in any month,
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.020
then recalculate PMTm without applying any Payment Reset Limit.
c. For Balloon Loans, or for loans that have RIOP = RM, if m = RM then:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.021
d. In all cases, PMTm should amortize the loan within the Remaining Maturity:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.022 3. Determine Net Yield Rate (NYRm) and, for sold loans, Pass-
Through Rate (PTRm) applicable to the
mth payment:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.023
4. Calculate Scheduled Interest Accrued (during month m-1) on account of
the mth payment (SIAm)
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.024
5. Calculate the Scheduled Interest component of the mth
payment (SIm)
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.025
6. Calculate Scheduled Principal for the mth payment
(SPm):
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.026
Note: Scheduled Principal should not be greater than the remaining UPB. SPM can be negative if the Scheduled Payment is less than Scheduled Interest Accrued.7. Calculate Loan Unpaid Principal Balance after taking into account the
mth monthly payment (UPBm):
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.027
8. In the month when UPBm is reduced to zero, reset[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.028 9. Repeat all steps for m = 1...RM or until UPBm = 0.
Note: If UPBRM is greater than zero, the performing portion is included in Credit Losses (section 3.6.3.7.3, Stress Test Whole Loan Cash Flow Procedures, of this appendix).

3.6.3.4 Single Family Default and Prepayment Rates
3.6.3.4.1 Single Family Default and Prepayment Overview
[a] The Stress Test projects conditional Default and Prepayment rates for each single family Loan Group for each month of the Stress Period. The conditional rate is the percentage (by principal balance) of the remaining loans in a Loan Group that defaults or prepays during a given period of time. Computing Default and Prepayment rates for a Loan Group requires information on the Loan Group characteristics at the beginning of the Stress Test, historical and projected interest rates from section 3.3, Interest Rates, and house price growth rates and volatility measures from section 3.4, Property Valuation, of this appendix.
[b] Explanatory Variables. Several explanatory variables are used in the equations to determine Default and Prepayment rates for single family loans: Mortgage Age, Original Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio, Probability of Negative Equity, Burnout, the percentage of Investor-owned Loans, Relative Interest Rate Spread, Payment Shock (for ARMs only), Initial Rate Effect (for ARMs only), Yield Curve Slope, Relative Loan Size, and Mortgage Product Type. Regression coefficients (weights) are associated with each variable. All of this information is used to compute conditional quarterly Default and Prepayment rates throughout the Stress Test. The quarterly rates are then converted to monthly conditional Default and Prepayment rates, which are used to calculate Stress Test Whole Loan cash flows and Default losses. See section 3.6.3.7, Stress Test Whole Loan Cash Flows, of this appendix.
[c] The regression coefficients for each Loan Group will come from one of three models. The choice of model will be determined by the values of the single family product code and Government Flag in the RBC Report. See section 3.6.3.4.3.2, Prepayment and Default Rates and Performance Fractions, of this appendix.
[d] Special Provision for Accounting Calculations. For accounting calculations that require cash flows over the entire remaining life of the instrument, Default and Prepayment rates for months beyond the end of the Stress Test are held constant at their values for month 120.

3.6.3.4.3 Single Family Default and Prepayment Procedures
3.6.3.4.3.1 Single Family Default and Prepayment Explanatory Variables
[a] Compute the explanatory variables for single family Default and Prepayment in the seven steps as follows:1. Calculate Aq, the loan Age in quarters, for quarter q:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.030 Where: int means to round to the lower integer if the argument is not an
integer. 2. Calculate PNEQq, the Probability of Negative Equity in
quarter q:

where: N designates the cumulative normal distribution function.a. LTVq is evaluated for a quarter q as:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15MR02.001 The HPI at Origination is updated to the beginning of the Stress Test using actual historical experience as measured by the OFHEO HPI; and then updated within the Stress Test using House Price Growth Factors from the Benchmark region and time period:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15MR02.002 Where: UPBm=3q-3 = UPB for the month at the end of the quarter prior
to quarter qCHPGFoLG = 1.0 if the loan was originated in the
same quarter as or after the most recently available HPI as of
the reporting date3. Calculate Bq, the Burnout factor in quarter q. A loan's
Prepayment incentive is ``burned out'' (i.e., reduced) if,
during at least two of the previous eight full quarters, the
borrower had, but did not take advantage of, an opportunity to
reduce his or her mortgage interest rate by at least two
percentage points. For this purpose, the mortgage interest
rate is compared with values of the Conventional Mortgage Rate
(MCON) Index.
a. Compare mortgage rates for each quarter of the Stress Test and for the eight quarters prior to the start of the stress test (q = -7, -6,...0, 1,...40):[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR26JA04.010
Note: For this purpose, MCONm is required for the 24 months (eight quarters) prior to the start of the Stress Test. Also, MIRm = MIR0 for m <0.
b. Determine whether the loan is ``burned out'' in quarter q (Burnout Flag, Bqf):[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.037 Where:q' = index variable for prior 8 quarters
c. Adjust for recently originated loans as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.038
4. Calculate RSq, the Relative Spread in quarter q, as the
average value of the monthly Relative Spread of the Original
mortgage interest rate to the Conventional (30-Year Fixed
Rate) Mortgage Rate series for the three months in the
quarter.
Note: Use the Current MIR for Fixed Rate Loans and the Original MIR for Adjustable Rate Loans.[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.039 If MIR = 0, then RSq = -0.20 for all q.5. Calculate YCSq, the Yield Curve Slope in quarter q, as the
average of the monthly ratio of the 10-Year CMT to the One-
Year CMT for the three months in the quarter:

3.6.3.5 Multifamily Default and Prepayment Rates
3.6.3.5.1 Multifamily Default and Prepayment Rates Overview
[a] The Stress Test projects conditional Default and Prepayment rates for each multifamily Loan Group for each month of the Stress Period. Computing Default rates for a Loan Group requires information on the Loan Group characteristics at the beginning of the Stress Test and the economic conditions of the Stress Period--interest rates (section 3.3 of this appendix), vacancy rates and rent growth rates (section 3.4 of this appendix). These input data are used to create values for the explanatory variables in the Multifamily Default component.
[b] Explanatory Variables for Default Rates. Eight explanatory variables are used as specified in the equations in section 3.6.3.5.3.1, of this appendix, to determine Default rates for multifamily loans: Mortgage Age, Mortgage Age Squared, New Book indicator, Not Ratio-updated ARM indicator, current Debt-Service Coverage Ratio, Underwater Current Debt-Service Coverage indicator, Loan-To-Value Ratio at origination/acquisition, and a Balloon Maturity indicator. Regression coefficients (weights) are associated with each variable. All of this information is used to compute conditional annual Default rates throughout the Stress Test. The annualized Default rates are converted to monthly conditional Default rates and are used together with monthly conditional Prepayment rates to calculate Stress Test Whole Loan Cash Flows. (See section 3.6.3.7, Stress Test Whole Loan Cash Flows, of this appendix).
[c] Specification of Multifamily Prepayment Rates. Multifamily Prepayment rates are not generated by a statistical model but follow a set of Prepayment rules that capture the effect of yield maintenance, Prepayment penalties and other mechanisms that effectively curtail or eliminate multifamily Prepayments for a specified period of time.
[d] Special Provision for Accounting Calculations. For accounting calculations, which require cash flows over the entire remaining life of the instrument, Default and Prepayment rates for months beyond the end of the Stress Test are held constant at their values for month 120.
3.6.3.5.2 Multifamily Default and Prepayment Inputs

3.6.3.5.3 Multifamily Default and Prepayment Procedures
3.6.3.5.3.1 Explanatory Variables
[a] Compute the explanatory variables for multifamily Default and Prepayment in five steps as follows:1. Calculate Loan Age in Years for months m = 0...120 of the Stress Test
(AYm):
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.047
Where: A0 + m is Loan Age in months at the beginning of month m of
the Stress Test.
Note: AYm is calculated for each month m, whereas the corresponding Age variable for single family Loans Aq is calculated only quarterly.2. Assign product and ratio update flags (NBF, NRAF). Note: these values
do not change over time for a given Loan Group.
a. New Book Flag (NBF):NBF = 1 for Fannie Mae loans acquired after 1987 and Freddie Mac loans
acquired after 1992, except for loans that were refinanced
to avoid a Default on a loan originated or acquired earlier.NBF = 0 otherwise.
b. Not Ratio-updated Arm Flag (NRAF):NRAF = 1 if both ARMF = 1 and RUF = 0,NRAF = 0 otherwise.Where: ARMF = 1 for ARMs (including Balloon ARMs)ARMF = 0 otherwise, andRUF = 1 if the LTV and DCR were calculated or delegated to have been
calculated at origination or recalculated or delegated to have
been recalculated at Enterprise acquisition according to
current Enterprise standards.RUF = 0 otherwise3. Calculate Debt Service Coverage Ratio in month m (DCRm):
The standard definition of Debt Service Coverage Ratio is current net operating income divided by current mortgage payment. However, for the Stress Test, update DCRm each month from the prior month's value using Rent Growth Rates (RGRm) and Rental Vacancy Rates (RVRm) starting with DCRm from Table 3-38, as follows:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.051 4. Assign Underwater Debt-Service Coverage Flag (UWDCRFm): UWDCRFm = 1 if DCRm <0.98 in month mUWDCRFm = 0 otherwise. 5. Assign Balloon Maturity Flag (BMFm) for any Balloon Loan
that is within twelve months of its maturity date:

3.6.3.5.3.2 Default and Prepayment Rates and Performance Fractions
[a] Compute Default and Prepayment Rates and Performance Fractions for multifamily loans in the following four steps:1. Compute the logits for multifamily Default using inputs from Table 3-
38 and coefficients from Table 3-39. For indexing purposes,
the Default rate for a period m is the likelihood of missing
the mth payment; calculate its corresponding logit
(X[delta]m) based on Loan Group characteristics as
of the period prior to m, i.e. prior to making the m\th\
payment.

Compute Annual Prepayment Rate (APR) and Annual Default Rate (ADR) as
follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.055
APRm is a constant, determined as follows:
a. For the up-rate scenario, APRm = 0 for all months m
b. For the down-rate scenario,
APRm = 0 percent during the Prepayment penalty period (i.e., when m <=PPEM)
APRm = 25 percent after the Prepayment penalty period (i.e., when m PPEM) 3. Convert annual Prepayment and Default rates to monthly rates (MPR and
MDR) using the following formulas for simultaneous processes:

If both ARMF = 0 and RUF = 0, then [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15MR02.005
otherwise,
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15MR02.006
4. Calculate Defaulting Fraction (DEFm), Prepaying Fraction
(PREm), and Performing Fraction (PERFm)
of the Initial Loan Group for each month m = 1...RM. Initially
(immediately prior to the beginning of the Stress Test), all
loans are assumed to be performing, i.e. PERF0 =
1.0. Note: For m120, use MPR120 and
MDR120.

3.6.3.6 Calculation of Single Family and Multifamily Mortgage Losses
3.6.3.6.1 Calculation of Single Family and Multifamily Mortgage Losses
Overview
[a] Definition. Loss Severity is the net cost to an Enterprise of a loan Default. Though losses may be associated with delinquency, loan restructuring and/or modification and other loss mitigation efforts, foreclosures are the only loss events modeled during the Stress Test.
[b] Calculation. The Loss Severity rate is expressed as a fraction of the Unpaid Principal Balance (UPB) at the time of Default. The Stress Test calculates Loss Severity rates for each Loan Group for each month of the Stress Period. Funding costs (and offsetting revenues) of defaulted loans are captured by discounting the Loss Severity elements using a cost-of-funds interest rate that varies during the Stress Period. Table 3-41 specifies the Stress Test Loss Severity timeline. Loss Severity rates also depend upon the application of Credit Enhancements and the credit ratings of enhancement providers.

disposition------------------------------------------------------------------------
[c] Timing of the Default Process. Mortgage Defaults are modeled as follows: defaulting loans enter foreclosure after a number of months (MQ, Months in Delinquency) and are foreclosed upon several months later. MF (Months in Foreclosure) is the total number of missed payments. Upon completion of foreclosure, the loan as such ceases to exist and the property becomes Real Estate Owned by the lender (REO). After several more months (MR, Months in REO), the property is sold. Foreclosure expenses are paid and MI proceeds (and, for multifamily loans, loss sharing proceeds) are received when foreclosure is completed. REO expenses are paid, and sales proceeds and other Credit Enhancements are received, when the property is sold. These timing differences are not modeled explicitly in the cash flows, but their economic effect is taken into account by present-valuing the default-related cash flows to the month of Default.
[d] Gross Loss Severity, Credit Enhancement, and Net Loss Severity. The calculation of mortgage losses is divided into three parts. First, Gross Loss Severity is determined by expressing the principal loss plus unpaid interest plus expenses as a percentage of the loan UPB at the time of Default (section 3.6.3.6.2, Single Family Gross Loss Severity, and section 3.6.3.6.3, Multifamily Gross Loss Severity, of this appendix). Second, Credit Enhancements (CEs) are applied according to their terms to offset losses on loans that are covered by one or more CE arrangements (section 3.6.3.6.4, Mortgage Credit Enhancement, of this appendix). Finally, to account for the timing of these different cash flows, net losses are discounted back to the month in which the Default initially occurred (section 3.6.3.6.5, Single Family and Multifamily Net Loss Severity, of this appendix).
3.6.3.6.2 Single Family Gross Loss Severity
3.6.3.6.2.1 Single Family Gross Loss Severity Overview
The Loss Severity calculation adds the discounted present value of various costs and offsetting revenues associated with the foreclosure of single family properties, expressed as a fraction of UPB on the date of Default. The loss elements are:
[a] Unpaid Principal Balance. Because all Loss Severity elements are expressed as a fraction of Default date UPB, the outstanding loan balance is represented as 1.
[b] Unpaid Interest. Unpaid interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate is included in the MI claim amount. Unpaid interest at the Pass-Through Rate must be paid to MBS holders until the Defaulted loan is repurchased from the MBS pool.
[c] Foreclosure Expenses and REO Expenses. Foreclosure expenses are reimbursed by MI. REO expenses are incurred in connection with the maintenance and sale of a property after foreclosure is completed. Stress Test values for these quantities are derived from historical Enterprise REO experience.
[d] Net Recovery Proceeds from REO sale (RP). This amount is less than the sale price for ordinary properties as predicted by the HPI, because of the distressed nature of the sale.

3.6.3.6.3 Multifamily Gross Loss Severity
3.6.3.6.3.1 Multifamily Gross Loss Severity Overview
The multifamily Loss Severity calculation adds the discounted present value of various costs and offsetting revenues associated with the foreclosure of multifamily properties, expressed as a fraction of Defaulted UPB. The loss elements are:
[a] Unpaid Principal Balance (UPB). Because all Loss Severity elements are expressed as a fraction of Default date UPB, the outstanding loan balance is represented as 1.
[b] Unpaid Interest. Unpaid interest at the Net Yield Rate is included in the Loss Sharing Claim amount. Unpaid interest at the Pass-Through Rate must be paid to MBS holders until the defaulted loan is repurchased from the MBS pool.
[c] Net REO Holding Costs (RHC). Foreclosure costs, including attorneys fees and other liquidation expenses are incurred between the date of Default and the date of foreclosure completion (REO acquisition). Operating and capitalized expenses are incurred and rental and other income are received between REO acquisition and REO disposition. As a result, half of the Net REO Holding Costs (RHC) are expensed at REO acquisition and the remainder are expensed at REO disposition.
[d] Net Proceeds from REO sale (RP). The gross sale price of the REO less all costs associated with the disposition of the REO asset are discounted from the date of REO sale.

3.6.3.6.3.3 Multifamily Gross Loss Severity Procedures
[a] Calculate multifamily gross loss severity in the following two steps:1. For Conventional Loans, compute the Loss Sharing Claim Amount
(CLMm\LSA\) and Gross Loss (GLSm) on
loans that Defaulted in month m, as a fraction of Defaulted
UPB: [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.062 2. For FHA-insured (i.e., government) multifamily Loans, separate Gross
Loss Severity and Credit Enhancement calculations are not
necessary. Net Loss Severity is determined explicitly in
section 3.6.3.6.5, Single Family and Multifamily Net Loss
Severity, of this appendix).

3.6.3.6.4 Mortgage Credit Enhancement
3.6.3.6.4.1 Mortgage Credit Enhancement Overview
[a] Types of Mortgage Credit Enhancements. Credit Enhancements (CE) reimburse losses on individual loans. The CE most often utilized by the Enterprises at the present time is primary Mortgage Insurance (MI) including both private and government MI or loan guarantees (e.g. FHA, VA), which pays claims up to a given limit on each loan. Most other types of CE do not limit the amount payable on each loan individually, but do limit the aggregate amount available under a given CE arrangement or Contract. These two types of CE must be computed differently. To denote this distinction, this appendix will refer to ``Loan Limit'' and ``Aggregate Limit'' CE types. Loan Limit CE includes Mortgage Insurance for single family loans and Loss-Sharing Arrangements (LSA) for multifamily loans. Aggregate Limit CE includes Pool Insurance, Spread Accounts, Letters of Credit, Cash or Collateral Accounts, and Subordination Agreements. For operational convenience in the Stress Test, the Aggregate Limit classification also includes Unlimited Recourse, which has neither loan-level nor aggregate-level coverage limits, and Modified Pool Insurance, Limited Recourse, Limited Indemnification and FHA risk-sharing, which may have both loan-level and aggregate-level coverage limits.
[b] Loan Limit Credit Enhancements. Loan Limit Credit Enhancements are applied to every covered loan individually, without regard to how much has been paid on any other covered loan. For example, an MI policy covers losses on an individual loan up to a specified limit. If every loan with MI were to Default, every claim would be payable regardless of the total outlay on the part of the MI provider. Loss Sharing Arrangements on multifamily loans operate the same way.
[c] Aggregate Limit Credit Enhancements. Aggregate Limit Credit Enhancements cover a group of loans on an aggregate basis. In most such arrangements, the coverage for any individual loan is unlimited, except that the total outlay by the provider cannot exceed a certain aggregate limit. Thus, the amount of Aggregate Limit coverage available to an individual loan depends, in practice, on how much has been paid on all previous claims under the specified Contract.
[d] Credit Enhancement Counterparty Defaults. CE payments from a rated counterparty are subject to Haircuts to simulate counterparty failures during the Stress Test. These Haircuts are based on the rating of the counterparty or guarantor immediately prior to the Stress Test, and are applied each month as described in section 3.5, Counterparty Defaults, of this appendix.
[e] Stress Test Application of Credit Enhancement. The Stress Test calculates mortgage cash flows for aggregated Loan Groups, within which individual loans are assumed to have identical characteristics, and therefore are not differentiated in the computations. However, a single Loan Group may include loans with Loan Limit CE and/or one or more types of Aggregate Limit CE. Additionally, this coverage may come from a rated provider or from cash or cash-equivalent collateral. Therefore, for computational purposes it is necessary to distinguish among the different possible CE combinations that each loan or subset of loans in a Loan Group may have. In the Stress Test, this is accomplished by creating Distinct Credit Enhancement Combinations (DCCs).1. Distinct Credit Enhancement Combinations. When aggregating individual
loans into Loan Groups for the RBC Report, the applicable CE
arrangements will have been identified for each loan:
a. Loan Group (LG) Number
b. Initial UPB of individual loan
c. Rating of MI or LSA Counterparty
d. Loan-Limit Coverage Percentage for MI or LSA
e. Contract Number for Aggregate Limit CE, First Priority
f. Contract Number for Aggregate Limit CE, Second Priority
g. Contract Number for Aggregate Limit CE, Third Priority
h. Contract Number for Aggregate Limit CE, Fourth Priority 2. Individual loans for which all of the entries in step 1) of this
section (except UPB and Loan-Limit Coverage Percent) are
identical, are aggregated into a DCCs. For example, all loans
in a given Loan Group with MI from a AAA-rated provider and no
other CE would comprise one DCC whose balance is the aggregate
of the included loans and whose MI Coverage Percent is the
weighted average of that of the included loans. In each month,
within each Loan Group, for each DCC, each applicable form of
CE is applied in priority order to reduce Gross Loss Severity
as much as possible to zero. The total CE payment for each
DCC, as a percentage of Defaulted UPB is converted to a total
CE payment for each Loan Group and then factored into the
calculation of Net Loss Severity in section 3.6.3.6.5, Single
Family and Multifamily Net Loss Severity, of this appendix.3. DCC First and Second Priority Available Aggregate CE Balance. In the
Stress Test, First and Second Priority Available Aggregate CE
Balances are allocated to the DCCs that are parties to each
Contract on a pro-rata basis. Third and Fourth Priority
Aggregate Limit Contracts are not modeled because they are
extremely rare. In each month of the Stress Test these CE
Balances, adjusted by appropriate Haircuts, are reduced by the
losses incurred by each DCC that is a party to each Contract.
Spread Account deposits, if applicable, are included in the
First and Second Priority DCC Available Aggregate CE Balances.
a. Spread Accounts may take one of two forms: Balance-Limited, or Deposit-Limited. A Balance-Limited Spread Account receives monthly spread payments based on the UPB of the covered loans until a required balance is achieved and maintained. Any amounts paid to cover losses must be replenished by future spread payments from the covered loans that are still performing. Thus, there is no known limit to the amount of spread deposits that may be made over the life of the covered loans. In contrast, for a Deposit-Limited Spread Account the limit is similar to a customary coverage limit. The total amount of spread deposits made into the account is limited to a maximum amount specified in the Contract.
b. In the Stress Test, the Available Contract Balance of a Spread Account is adjusted prior to the calculation of the DCC Available Balance as reported in the RBC Report. For each Spread Account contract, the Enterprises report the Remaining Limit Amount, which represents the maximum dollar amount of additional spread deposits that could be required under the Contract. For Deposit-Limited Spread Accounts, this amount is the maximum remaining dollar amount of spread deposits required under the Contract. For Balance-Limited Spread Accounts, this amount is defined as one-twelfth of the annualized spread rate times the UPB of the covered loans at the start of the Stress Test times the weighted average Remaining term to Maturity of those loans. However, the maximum amount of spread deposits that could be received will generally be higher than the amount reasonably expected to be received during the Stress Test, because the UPB of the covered loans, which is the basis for determining the amounts of future spread deposits, declines over the term of the Contract due to Amortization, Defaults, and Prepayments. Therefore, the Enterprises report an adjusted Available Contract Balance for both types of Spread Accounts before reporting the DCC Available Balance by adding the lesser of the Remaining Limit Amount or one-twelfth of the spread rate times the UPB of the covered loans at the start of the stress test times 60 months.
c. Modified Pool Insurance, Limited Recourse, Limited Indemnification and FHA risk-sharing contracts may have both loan-level and aggregate-level coverage limits. To account for this aspect of these types of Aggregate Limit CE, the Enterprises report a DCC Loan Level Coverage Limit Amount, which represents the share of each loss after deductibles (such as MI or First Priority Contract payments) covered by a given MPI Contract. (The Loan Level Coverage Limit Amount takes the value of one if the Contract is not of this type, representing that 100 percent of losses are covered by other types of Contracts).
d. In practice, Unlimited Recourse Contracts have neither loan-level nor aggregate-level coverage limits. However, the Enterprises report the Available Aggregate CE Balance of Unlimited Recourse Contracts as the summation of the Original UPB of all covered loans.
e. The Available Aggregate CE Balances of Collateral Account Contracts funded with anything other than Cash or Cash- equivalents are discounted by thirty percent to account for market risk in securities that are not cash equivalents.
f. Enterprise Loss Positions are treated as Aggregate Limit CE in terms of reducing remaining losses eligible to be covered by a next-priority Contract. However, since Enterprise Loss Positions are typically a deductible for other forms of supplementary coverage, payments from such accounts do not reduce loss severity.
[f] Multiple Layers of Credit Enhancement. For loans with more than one type of Credit Enhancement, MI or Loss Sharing is applied first, and then other types of CE (if available) are applied in priority order to the remaining losses. MI and Loss Sharing claims are payable regardless of whether (and to what extent) a loan is also covered by other forms of CE. MI is unique in that the MI payment is based on a percentage of a Claim Amount equal to the entire Defaulted UPB plus expenses, not the actual loss incurred upon liquidation. Therefore, an Enterprise can receive MI payments on a defaulted loan in excess of the actual realized loss on that loan. However, it is frequently the case that MI payments are insufficient to cover the entire loss amount. In such cases, one or more types of Aggregate Limit CE may be available to make up the deficiency. Unlike MI claims, however, the Claim Amounts for Loss Sharing and for all Aggregate Limit CE types do depend on the actual losses incurred; and unlike Loss Sharing and MI, Claim Amounts payable under other forms of CE are net of payments received on account of other forms of CE. When a single loan is covered by multiple forms of CE, the order in which they are to be applied (First Priority, Second Priority, etc.) must be specified. To avoid double-counting, a higher-numbered priority CE only covers losses that were not covered by a lower-numbered priority CE.

The Whole Loan Cash Flows in Table 3-52 are used to prepare pro forma balance sheets and income statements for each month of the Stress Period (see section 3.10 Operations, Taxes and Accounting, of this appendix). For Retained Loan groups, cash flows consist of Scheduled Principal, Prepaid Principal, Defaulted Principal, Credit Losses, and Interest. For Sold Loan groups, cash flow consists of Credit Losses, Guarantee Fees and Float Income. For Repurchased MBSs, cash flows are allocated according to the Fraction Repurchased. Table 3-52 covers all cases; for Retained Loans FREP = 1.0.

3.6.3.8 Whole Loan Accounting Flows
3.6.3.8.1 Whole Loan Accounting Flows Overview
[a] For accounting purposes, cash flows are adjusted to reflect (1) the value over time of discounts, premiums and fees paid or received (Deferred Balances) when an asset was acquired; and (2) the fact that mortgage interest is paid in arrears, i.e. it is received in the month after it is earned. In the Stress Test calculations, payments are indexed by the month in which they are received. Therefore, interest received in month m was earned in month m-1. However, principal is accounted for in the month received.
[b] Deferred Balances are amortized over the remaining life of the asset. Therefore, these calculations go beyond the end of the Stress Test if the Remaining Maturity (RM) is greater than the 120 months of the Stress Test. The projection of cash flows beyond the end of the Stress Test is discussed in the individual sections where the cash flows are first calculated. In general, for interest rate indexes, monthly Prepayment rates and monthly Default rates, the value for m = 120 is used for all months 120 120.

[a] Mortgage-Related Securities (MRSs) include Single Class MBSs, Multi-class MBSs (REMICs or Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs)), Mortgage Revenue Bonds (MRBs), and Derivative Mortgage Securities such as Interest-Only and Principal-Only Stripped MBSs. MBSs and Derivative Mortgage Securities are issued by the Enterprises, Ginnie Mae and private issuers. MRBs are issued by State and local governments or their instrumentalities. For computational purposes, certain Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) backed by mortgages (Mortgage ABSs backed by manufactured housing loans, second mortgages or home equity loans) are treated as REMICs in the Stress Test.
[b] Cash flows from Single Class MBSs represent the pass-through of all principal and interest payments, net of servicing and guarantee fees, on the underlying pools of mortgages. Cash flows from Multi-Class MBSs and Derivative Mortgage Securities represent a specified portion of the cash flows produced by an underlying pool of mortgages and/or Mortgage-Related Securities, determined according to rules set forth in offering documents for the securities. MRBs may have specific maturity schedules and call provisions, whereas MBSs have only expected maturities and, in most cases, no issuer call provision (other than ``cleanup calls'' if the pool balance becomes quite small). However, the timing of principal payments for MRBs is still closely related to that of their underlying mortgage collateral. The Stress Test treats most MRBs in a manner similar to single class MBSs. Finally, a small number of Enterprise and private label REMIC securities for which modeling information is not readily available and which are not modeled by a commercial information service (referred to as ``miscellaneous MRS'') are treated separately.
[c] In addition to reflecting the defaults of mortgage borrowers during the Stress Period, the Stress Test considers the possibility of issuer Default on Mortgage-Related Securities. Credit impairments throughout the Stress Period are based on the rating of these securities, and are modeled by reducing contractual interest payments and ``writing down'' principal. No Credit Losses are assumed for the Enterprise's own securities and Ginnie Mae securities (see section 3.5.3, Counterparty Defaults Procedures, of this appendix).
[d] The calculation of cash flows for Mortgage-Related Securities requires information from the Enterprises identifying their holdings, publicly available information characterizing the securities, and information on the interest rate, mortgage performance and credit rating (for rated securities).
[e] Cash and accounting flows--monthly principal and interest payments and amortization expense--are produced for each month of the Stress Period for each security. (Principal- and interest-only securities pay principal or interest respectively.) These cash flows are input to the Operations, Taxes, and Accounting component of the Stress Test.

3.7.2.1.2 Multi-Class MBSs and Derivative Mortgage Securities
[a] The information in Table 3-57 is required for Multi-Class MBSs and Derivative Mortgage Securities held by an Enterprise at the start of the Stress Test. This information identifies the MBS and an Enterprise's holdings.

[b] The Stress Test requires sufficient information about the cash flow allocation rules among the different classes of a Multi-Class MBS to determine the cash flows for the individual class(es) owned by an Enterprise, including descriptions of the component classes of the security, the underlying collateral, and the rules directing cash flows to the component classes. This information is obtained from offering documents or securities data services. In the Stress Test, this information is used either as an input to a commercial modeling service or, for securities that are not so modeled, to derive an approximate modeling treatment as described more fully in this section.
[c] If a Derivative Mortgage Security is itself backed by one or more underlying securities, sufficient information is required for each underlying security as described in the preceding paragraph.
3.7.2.1.3 Mortgage Revenue Bonds and Miscellaneous MRSs
[a] The Stress Test requires two types of information for Mortgage Revenue Bonds and miscellaneous MRS held by an Enterprise at the start of the Stress Test: information identifying the Enterprise's holdings and the contractual terms of the securities. The inputs required for these instruments are set forth in Table 3-58.

[b] The Payment Window Starting and Ending Dates are projected by the Enterprise on the basis of prospectus information or simulations from a dealer in the securities or other qualified source, such as the structured finance division of an accounting firm, for the two statutory scenarios.
3.7.2.2 Interest Rate Inputs
Interest rates projected for each month of the Stress Period are used to calculate principal amortization and interest payments for ARM MBSs and MRBs, and for Derivative Mortgage Securities with indexed coupon rates. This information is produced in section 3.3, Interest Rates, of this appendix.
3.7.2.3 Mortgage Performance Inputs
Default and Prepayment rates for the loans underlying a single- or multiclass MBS are computed according to the characteristics of the loans as specified in this section 3.7.2, Mortgage-Related Securities Inputs. LTV and Census Region are not uniquely specified for the loans underlying a given security; instead, the Prepayment and Default rates are averaged over all LTV categories, weighted according to the distribution of LTVs given in Table 3-59. (This weighting applies to Time Zero, i.e., the start of the Stress Test; the weightings will change over time as individual LTV groups pay down at different rates. See section 3.7.3, Mortgage-Related Securities Procedures, of this appendix.) Instead of Census Division, the national average HPI is used for all calculations in this section.
Table 3-59--Aggregate Enterprise Amortized Original LTV (AOLTV0)

Wt Avg

Distribution Range------------------------------------------------------------------------000, using the standard
mortgage payment formula (and update it as appropriate for
ARMs, as described in the Whole Loan calculation).3. For ARM MBS, interest rate and monthly payment adjustments for the
underlying loans are calculated in the same manner as they are
for ARM Loan Groups.4. MBSs backed by Biweekly mortgages, GPMs, TPMs, GEMs, and Step
mortgages are mapped into mortgage types as described in
section 3.6, Whole Loan Cash Flows, of this appendix.
[c] Use the Loan Group characteristics to generate Default and Prepayment rates as described in section 3.6.3.4.3, Single Family Default and Prepayment Procedures, of this appendix. For the following explanatory variables that are not specified for MBSs, proceed as follows:1. For fixed rate Ginnie Mae certificates and the small number of
multifamily MBS held by the Enterprises, use the model
coefficients for Government Loans. For loans underlying Ginnie
Mae ARM certificates, use the conventional ARM model
coefficients.2. Set Investor Fraction (IF) = 7.56%3. Set Relative Loan Size (RLS) = 1.0. For Ginnie Mae certificates, use
RLS = 0.75.4. For LTVORIG of the underlying loans: Divide the MBS's
single weighted average Loan Group into several otherwise
identical Loan Groups (``LTV subgroups''), one for each
Original LTV range specified in Table 3-59. UPB0
for each of these LTV subgroups is the specified percentage of
the aggregate UPB0. AOLTV0 for each
subgroup is also specified in Table 3-59. For Ginnie Mae
certificates, use only the 95 0 as follows:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.102 Where: HPI = the national average HPI figures in Table 3-60 (updated as
necessary from subsequent releases of the OFHEO HPI).A0 = weighted average age in months of the underlying loans
immediately prior to the start of the Stress Test.AQ0 = weighted average age in quarters of the underlying
loans immediately prior to the start of the Stress Test.
AQ0 = int (A0/3).AQ'0 = AQ0 minus the number of whole quarters
between the most recently available HPI at the start of the
Stress Test and time zero.
If AQ'0<=0, then LTV0 = AOLTV0.

For each quarter q of the Stress Test, use UPBq and the
house price growth rates from the Benchmark regional time
period: [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.103 7. Generate Default, Prepayment and Performance vectors PREm,
DEFm and PERFm for each LTV subgroup.
When LTVORIG is used as a categorical variable, use
the corresponding range defined for each LTV subgroup in Table
3-59. For LTV subgroup 95 ORIG in Table 3-35.
[d] For each LTV subgroup, do not compute any Loss Severity or Credit Enhancement amounts. MBS investors receive the full UPB of defaulted loans.
[e] Compute Total Principal Received (TPR), Total Interest Received (TIR), and Amortization Expense (AE) for each LTV subgroup as directed in section 3.6.3.7.3, Stress Test Whole Loan Cash Flow Procedures and section 3.6.3.8.3, Whole Loan Accounting Flows Procedures, of this appendix, with the following exception:1. For Net Interest Received (NIR), do not use the Net Yield Rate
(NYRm). Instead, use the Pass-Through Rate
(PTRm) for Fixed Rate Loans, and
INDEXm-1-LB + Wt Avg Net Margin, subject to rate
resets as described in section 3.6.3.3.3, Mortgage
Amortization Schedule Procedures, [a]1.b.3) of this appendix,
for ARMs.
2. Calculate Recovery Principal Received using a Loss Severity rate of zero (LS = 0).
[f] Sum over the LTV subgroups to obtain the original MBS's TPR, TIR and AE for m = 1...RM.
[g] Apply counterparty Haircuts in each month m as follows:1. Compute:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15MR02.014 Where: m' = m, except for MBS credit rating below BBB where m'=120R = MBS credit rating 2. Compute:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR26JA04.011
[h] The resulting values, for each MBS, of TPR, TIR, AE, and HctAmt for months m = 1...RM are used in the section 3.10, Operations, Taxes, and Accounting, of this appendix.
3.7.3.2 REMICs and Strips
[a] Cash flows for REMICs and Strips are generated according to standard securities industry procedures, as follows:1. From the CUSIP number of the security, identify the characteristics
of the underlying collateral. This is facilitated by using a
securities data service.2. Calculate the cash flows for the underlying collateral in the manner
described for whole loans and MBS, based on Stress Test
interest, Default, and Prepayment rates appropriate for the
collateral.3. Calculate cash flows for the Multiclass MBS using the allocation
rules specified in the offering materials.4. Determine the cash flows attributable to the specific securities held
by an Enterprise, applying the Enterprise's ownership
percentage.5. For securities not issued by the Enterprise or Ginnie Mae, reduce
cash flows by applying the Haircuts specified in section 3.5,
Counterparty Defaults, of this appendix, as appropriate.
[b] If a commercial information service is used for steps [a] 1 through 4 of this section, the information service may model mortgage product types beyond those described for Whole Loans in section 3.6, Whole Loan Cash Flows, and ARM indexes in addition to those listed in section 3.3, Interest Rates, of this appendix. In such cases, the cash flows used are generated from the actual data used by the information service for the underlying security.
3.7.3.3 Mortgage Revenue Bonds and Miscellaneous MRS
[a] Cash flows for mortgage revenue bonds and miscellaneous MRS are computed as follows:1. From the start of the Stress Test until the first principal payment
date at the start of the Principal Payment Window, the
security pays coupon interest at the Security Interest Rate,
adjusted as necessary according to the Security Rate Index and
Adjustment information in Table 3-58, but pays no principal.2. During the Principal Payment Window, the security pays principal and
interest equal to the aggregate cash flow from a level pay
mortgage whose term is equal to the length of the Principal
Payment Window and whose interest rate is the Security
Interest Rate. If the Security Interest Rate is zero (as in
the case of zero-coupon MRBs), then the security pays
principal only in level monthly payment amounts equal to the
Current Security Balance divided by the length of the
Principal Payment Window.3. For securities not issued by the Enterprise or Ginnie Mae, reduce
cash flows by applying the Haircuts specified in section 3.5,
Counterparty Defaults, of this appendix, as appropriate.
3.7.3.4 Accounting
Deferred balances are amortized as described in section 3.6.3.8, Whole Loan Accounting Flows, of this appendix, using the Pass-Through Rate (or Security Interest Rate for MRBs) rather than the Net Yield Rate. For principal-only strips and zero-coupon MRBs, assume Allocated Interest is zero. If the conditions in section 3.6.3.8.3.1[a]3.a. of this appendix, apply, do not realize the full amount in the first month. Instead, amortize the deferred balances using a straight line method over a period from the start of the Stress Test through the latest month with a non-zero cash flow.
3.7.4 Mortgage-Related Securities Outputs
[a] The outputs for MBS and MRS Cash Flows, found in Table 3-61, are analogous to those specified for Whole Loans in section 3.6.4, Final Whole Loan Cash Flow Outputs, of this appendix, which are produced for each security for each month.
Table 3-61--Outputs for Mortgage-Related Securities------------------------------------------------------------------------

[b] These outputs are used as inputs to the Operations, Taxes, and Accounting component of the Stress Test, which prepares pro forma financial statements. See section 3.10, Operations, Taxes, and Accounting, of this appendix.
3.8 Nonmortgage Instrument Cash Flows
3.8.1 Nonmortgage Instrument Overview
[a] The Nonmortgage Instrument Cash Flows component of the Stress Test produces instrument level cash flows and accounting flows (accruals and amortization) for the 120 months of the Stress Test for:1. Debt2. Nonmortgage investments3. Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs)4. Preferred stock5. Derivative contracts
a. Debt-linked derivative contracts
b. Investment-linked derivative contracts
c. Mortgage-linked derivative contracts
d. Derivative contracts that hedge forecasted transactions
e. Non-linked derivative contracts
[b] Although mortgage-linked derivative contracts are usually linked to mortgage assets rather than nonmortgage instruments, they are treated similarly to debt-linked and investment-linked derivative contracts and, therefore, are covered in this section.
[c] Debt, nonmortgage investments, and preferred stock cash flows include interest (or dividends for preferred stock) and principal payments or receipts, while debt-linked, investment-linked, and mortgage-linked derivative contract cash flows are composed of interest payments and receipts only. Debt, nonmortgage investments, and preferred stock are categorized in one of six classes \2\ as shown in Table 3-62.---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ In addition to the items listed here, there are instruments that do not fit into these categories. Additional input information and calculation methodologies may be required for these instruments.
Table 3-62--Debt, Non-Mortgage Investments, and Preferred Stock
Classifications------------------------------------------------------------------------
Classification Description------------------------------------------------------------------------Fixed-Rate Bonds or Fixed-rate securities that pay periodic
Preferred Stock interest or dividends------------------------------------------------------------------------Floating-Rate Bonds or Floating-rate securities that pay periodic
Preferred Stock interest or dividends------------------------------------------------------------------------Fixed-Rate Asset-Backed Fixed-rate securities collateralized by
Securities nonmortgage assets------------------------------------------------------------------------Floating-Rate Asset-Backed Floating-rate securities collateralized by
Securities nonmortgage assets------------------------------------------------------------------------Short-Term Instruments Fixed-rate, short-term securities that are
not issued at a discount and which pay
principal and interest only at maturity------------------------------------------------------------------------Discount Instruments Securities issued below face value that pay
a contractually fixed amount at maturity------------------------------------------------------------------------
[d] Derivative contracts consist of interest rate caps, floors, and swaps. The primary difference between financial instruments and derivative contracts, in terms of calculating cash flows, is that interest payments on financial instruments are based on principal amounts that are eventually repaid to creditors, whereas interest payments on derivative contracts are based on notional amounts that never change hands. Debt- and investment-linked derivative contracts are categorized in one of seven classes \3\ as shown in Table 3-63:---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[e] Mortgage-linked swaps are similar to debt-linked swaps except that the notional amount of a mortgage-linked swap amortizes based on the performance of certain MBS pools. Mortgage-linked derivative contracts are divided into two classes \4\ as shown in Table 3-64:---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Ibid.
Table 3-64--Mortgage-Linked Derivative Contract Classification------------------------------------------------------------------------
Classification Description of Contract------------------------------------------------------------------------Fixed-Pay Amortizing Swaps Enterprise pays a fixed interest rate and
receives a floating interest rate, both of
which are based on a declining notional
balance------------------------------------------------------------------------Floating-Pay Amortizing Enterprise pays a floating interest rate
Swaps and receives a fixed interest rate, both
of which are based on a declining notional
balance------------------------------------------------------------------------
[f] In a currency swap, the Enterprise receives payments that are denominated in a foreign currency and it makes payments in U.S. dollars. The main difference between currency swaps and the type of swaps discussed above is that in a currency swap principal amounts are actually exchanged between the two counterparties. Currency swaps are divided into two classes, as shown in Table 3-65. \5\---------------------------------------------------------------------------

currency and makes payments in US dollar based on a floating interest
rate----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.8.2 Nonmortgage Instrument Inputs
[a] The Nonmortgage Instrument Cash Flows component of the Stress Test requires numerous inputs. Instrument level inputs provided by the Enterprises in the RBC Report are listed in Table 3-66. Many instrument classes require simulated Interest Rates because their interest payments adjust periodically based on rates tied to various indexes. These rates are generated as described in section 3.3, Interest Rates, of this appendix.

[b] In addition to the inputs in Table 3-66, other inputs may be required depending on the characteristics of the instrument modeled. For example, the mortgage-linked derivative contract cash flows require inputs describing the performance of the mortgage assets to which they are linked, including Single Family Default and Prepayment rates (See section 3.6.3.4, Single Family Default and Prepayment Rates, of this appendix). Mortgage-linked derivative contract identification numbers (Asset IDs) are used to link the derivative contract to the required pool information that will be used to calculate the cash flows of the corresponding swap.
3.8.3 Nonmortgage Instrument Procedures
In general, non mortgage instruments are modeled according to their terms. The general methodology for calculating cash flows for principal and interest payments is described in this section and is not intended to serve as definitive text for calculating all possible present and future complex instruments. As mentioned in section 3.8.2, Nonmortgage Instrument Inputs, of this appendix, there are some instruments that may require additional input information and calculation methodologies. Simplifying assumptions are made for some instrument terms until they can be modeled more precisely.
3.8.3.1 Apply Specific Calculation Simplifications
[a] In order to produce cash flows, accruals, or amortization of deferred balances, the following simplifications are used for all instruments to which they apply. Should the language in any other portion of section 3.8, Nonmortgage Instrument Cash Flows, of this appendix, seem to conflict with a statement in this section, the language in section 3.8.3.1 takes precedence.1. For day count methodology, use one of three methodologies 30/360,
Actual/360, and Actual/365. All special day counts (i.e.
Actual/366 B, Actual/366 S, Actual/366 E, and Actual/Actual)
are treated as Actual/365.2. Set the first index reset date to the First Coupon Date. If the Issue
Date is later than the start of the Stress Test, use the
Current Coupon Rate to determine the interest paid from Issue
Date to First Coupon Date. When a calculation requires a rate
that occurs before the start of the Stress Test, use the
Current Coupon Rate. This applies to interest accrued but not
paid for the start of the Stress test and to rate indexes
where applying a Look Back Period requires data prior to the
start of the Stress Test.
a. If periodic caps are zero, change them to 999.99; If periodic floors are greater than 1, change them to zero.
b. For instruments which have principal balance changes other than those caused by compounding interest, perform calculations as if the principal changes occur only on coupon dates (coupon dates on the fixed-rate leg for swaps) on or later than the first principal change date.
c. When using a rate index for a specified term in an option exercise rule or as an index, assume that rate is appropriate for the calculation. Do not convert from bond equivalent yield to another yield form for a discount, monthly pay, quarterly pay, semi-annual pay or annual pay instrument.3. When applying the option exercise rule:
a. For zero coupon and discount securities, instruments with European options, and zero coupon swaps, evaluate option exercise only on dates listed in the instrument's option exercise schedule. For Bermudan options, evaluate option exercise on the first option date in the instrument's option exercise schedule and subsequent coupon dates (coupon dates on the fixed-rate leg for swaps). For American options, evaluate option exercise on the first option date in the instrument's option exercise schedule and subsequent monthly anniversaries of the instrument's first coupon date.
b. Assume all call/put premiums/discounts are zero except for zero coupon instruments (including zero coupon swaps and discount notes). For these exceptions, when calculating a rate to compare with the Enterprise Cost of Funds, use the yield to maturity calculated by equating the face or notional amount plus the unamortized discount at the start of the Stress Test to the present value of the face or notional amount at maturity.
c. Assume basis swaps and floating rate securities have no cancel, put, or call options.
d. If the remaining maturity is greater than 360 months, use the equivalent-maturity Enterprise Cost of Funds as if the remaining maturity is 360 months.
e. In the Stress Test, no preferred stock issued by the Enterprise will be called.
3.8.3.2 Determine the Timing of Cash Flows
Project payment dates from the payment date immediately prior to the start of the stress test according to the Payment Frequency, First Coupon Date, and Maturity Date.
3.8.3.3 Obtain the Principal Factor Amount at Each Payment Date
[a] Where there is no amortization or prepayment of principal, the Principal Factor Amount is 1.0 for each payment date until the stated Maturity Date, when it becomes zero.
[b] For debt and debt-linked derivative contracts that amortize, either a principal or a notional amortization schedule must be provided. If amortization information is unavailable, then the Principal Factor Amount is 1.0 for each payment date until the stated Maturity Date, when it becomes zero.
[c] Monthly prepayment rates are 3.5 percent for fixed-rate and 2.0 percent for floating-rate asset-backed securities. Furthermore, asset-backed securities are modeled through a commercial information service where possible. Instruments that cannot be modeled through the commercial information service are treated in accordance with section 3.9, Alternative Modeling Treatments, of this appendix.
[d] In the case of mortgage-linked derivative contracts, notional amounts are amortized based on the characteristics of the underlying pool in the manner described for principal balances of mortgage-backed securities held by an Enterprise in section 3.7, Mortgage-Related Securities Cash Flows, of this appendix.
3.8.3.4 Calculate the Coupon Factor
The Coupon Factor applicable to a given period, which applies to dividends also, depends on day count conventions used to calculate the interest payments for the instrument. For example, the Coupon Factor for a bond that pays interest quarterly based on a non-compounded 30/360 convention would be 3 (representing the number of months in a quarter) times 30 days divided by 360 days, or 0.25. Table 3-67 lists the most common day count conventions.
Table 3-67--Day Count Conventions------------------------------------------------------------------------
Convention Coupon Factor Calculation------------------------------------------------------------------------30/360 Number of days between two
payment dates assuming 30 days
per month/360------------------------------------------------------------------------Actual/360 Number of days between two
payment dates/360------------------------------------------------------------------------Actual/365 Number of days between two
payment dates/365------------------------------------------------------------------------Actual/Actual Number of days between two
payment dates/Number of days
in the year------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.8.3.5 Project Principal Cash Flows or Changes in the Notional Amount
For all financial instruments, principal outstanding for the current period is determined by multiplying the Original Face by the Principal Factor Amount for the current period. The principal payment equals the amount of principal outstanding at the end of the previous period less the principal outstanding at the end of the current period, or zero if the instrument has a notional amount.
3.8.3.6 Project Interest and Dividend Cash Flows
3.8.3.6.1 Non-Complex Financial Instruments
[a] Fixed-Rate Instruments. The current period principal outstanding is multiplied by the product of the Current Coupon and current period Coupon Factor and rounded to even 100ths of a dollar.
[b] Zero-Coupon Bonds. Interest payments equal zero.
[c] Discount Notes. Interest payments equal zero.
[d] Floating-Rate Instruments. Interest payments are calculated as principal outstanding multiplied by the coupon for the current period. The current period coupon is calculated by adding a spread to the appropriate interest rate index and multiplying by the Coupon Factor. The coupon for the current period is set to this amount as long as the rate lies between the periodic and lifetime maximum and minimum rates. Otherwise the coupon is set to the maximum or minimum rate.
[e] Interest Rate Caps and Floors. These derivative instruments pay or receive interest only if the underlying index is above a Strike Rate (for caps) or below it (for floors). Interest payments are based on notional amounts instead of principal amounts.1. The interest payment on a long cap is the Original Face multiplied by
the amount, if any, by which the index exceeds the Strike
Rate, as defined by the equation in Table 3-68. The interest
payment on a long floor is the Original Face multiplied by the
amount, if any, by which the index is below the Strike Rate.
Otherwise interest payments are zero for caps and floors.
Interest payments are either paid or received depending on
whether the Enterprise is in a long or short position in a cap
or a floor.2. Monthly cash flows for long caps and floors are calculated as
illustrated in Table 3-68:
Table 3-68--Calculation of Monthly Cash Flows for Long Caps and Floors------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instrument Cash Flows------------------------------------------------------------------------Cap (I - K) x N x D if I K; O if I <=K------------------------------------------------------------------------Floor (K - I) x N x D if I =K------------------------------------------------------------------------ Where: N = Original FaceK = Strike RateI = interest rate indexD = Coupon Factor
[f] Swaps. A derivative contract in which counterparties exchange periodic interest payments. Each swap leg (pay side or receive side) is modeled as a separate instrument, with interest payments based on the same notional amount but different interest rates.1. For debt- and investment-linked swaps, each leg's interest payment is
determined in the same manner as payments for fixed-rate,
floating-rate or zero coupon instruments as described in
paragraph [a], [b] and [d] of this section.2. For mortgage-linked swaps, calculate the reduction in the notional
amount due to scheduled monthly principal payments (taking
into account both lifetime and reset period caps and floors),
Prepayments, and Defaults of the reference MBS or index pool.
Reduce the notional amount of the swap for the previous period
by this amount to determine the notional amount for the
current period. Calculate interest payments or receipts
for a given period as the product of the notional amount of
the swap in that period, the coupon, and the Coupon Factor
applicable for that period.
3.8.3.6.2 Complex Financial Instruments
[a] Some instruments have more complex or non-standard features than those described in section 3.8.3.6.1, Non-Complex Financial Instruments, of this appendix. These complexities can include more sophisticated variants of characteristics such as principal or notional amortization schedules, interest accrual methodologies, coupon reset formulas, and option features. In these instances, additional information may be required to completely specify the contractual cash flows or a proxy treatment for these instruments.
[b] An example of an instrument with complex features is an indexed amortizing swap. This instrument is non-standard because its notional amount declines in a way that is related to the level of interest rates. Its amortization table contains a notional amount reduction factor for a given range of interest rates. To compute cash flows for this instrument, reduce the notional amount on each payment date as specified in the amortization table. (The notional amount at the beginning of the Stress Period is given as an input to the calculation.)
[c] Special treatment is also required for foreign-currency-linked notes, the redemption value of which is tied to a specific foreign exchange rate. These require special treatment because the Stress Test does not forecast foreign currency rates. If these instruments are currency-hedged, then the note plus the hedge comprise a synthetic debt instrument for which only the pay side of the swap is modeled. If these instruments are not currency-hedged, the following treatment applies:1. In the up-rate scenario, the U.S. dollar per unit of foreign currency
ratio is increased in proportion to the increase in the ten-
year CMT; therefore, the amount of an interest or principal
payment is increased accordingly. For example, if the ten-year
CMT shifts up by 50 percent, then the U.S. dollar per unit of
foreign currency ratio shifts up by 50 percent. In the Stress
Test, the payment would be multiplied by 1.5.2. In the down-rate scenario, the foreign currency per U.S. dollar ratio
is decreased in proportion to the decrease in the ten-year
CMT.
[d] Futures and Options on Futures also require special treatment:1. Settle positions on their expiration dates. Exercise only in-the-
money options (settlement value greater than zero).2. Settle all contracts for cash3. Calculate the cash settlement amount--the change in price of a
contract from the contract trade date to its expiration date.
Calculate the price on the expiration date based on stress
test interest rates (or, as necessary, forward rates
extrapolated from these rates).4. Amortize amounts received or paid at the expiration date into income
or expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the
underlying instrument (in the case of an option on a futures
contract, the life of the instrument underlying the futures
contract).5. Amortize an option premium on a straight-line basis over the life of
the option. (Amortize any remaining balances upon option
exercise.)
[e] Swaptions also require special treatment:1. Assume swap settlement (i.e., initiation of the underlying swap) when
a swap option is exercised.2. Calculate a ``normalized'' fixed-pay coupon by subtracting the spread
over the index, if any, from the coupon on the fixed-rate swap
leg.3. For all exercise types (American, Bermudan, and European), consistent
with RBC Rule section 3.8.3.7, assume exercise by the party
holding the swap option if the equivalent maturity Enterprise
Cost of Funds is more thana. 50 basis points above the normalized fixed-pay coupon, for a pay-
fixed swaption (a call or `payor'' swaption), orb. 50 basis points below the normalized fixed pay coupon for a receive-
fixed swaption (a put or `receiver' swaption).4. Amortize option premiums on a straight-line basis over the option
term. (Amortize any remaining balances upon option exercise).
[f] CPI-Linked Instruments also require special treatment. The stress test lacks the ability to accommodate floating-rate instruments that reset in response to changes in the consumer price index (CPI) as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Enterprise issuance of CPI-linked instruments is tied to swap market transactions intended to create desired synthetic debt structure and terms. In such cases, the true economic position nets to the payment terms of the related derivative contract. Accordingly, in order to accommodate and address the existence of CPI-linked instruments in the Enterprises' portfolios, the net synthetic position shall be evaluated in the stress test. That is, for CPI-linked instruments tied to swap transactions that are formally linked in a hedge accounting relationship, the Enterprise should substitute the CPI-linked instrument's coupon payment terms with those of the related swap contract.
[g] Pre-refunded municipal bonds also require special treatments. Pre-refunded municipal bonds are collateralized by securities that are structured to fund all the cash flows of the refunded municipal bonds until the bonds are callable. Since the call date for the bonds, also referred to as the pre-refunded date, is a more accurate representation of the payoff date than the contractual maturity date of the bonds, the stress test models the bonds to mature on the call date.
[h] If a financial instrument's inputs are described in section 3.1, Data, of this appendix, then model the instrument according to its terms; however, the Director reserves the authority to determine a more appropriate treatment if modeling the instrument according to its terms does not capture the instrument's impact on Enterprise risk. If the financial instrument's inputs are not described in section 3.1, then treat it as described in section 3.9, Alternative Modeling Treatments, of this appendix.
3.8.3.7 Apply Call, Put, or Cancellation Features, if Applicable
[a] In some cases, principal and interest cash flows may be altered due to options imbedded in individual financial instruments. Securities can be called or put and contracts can be cancelled at the option of the Enterprise or the counterparty. The Option Type, Exercise Convention Type, and the Start Date determine when an option may be exercised. There are three standard Exercise Convention Types, all of which are accommodated in the Stress Test:
American--Exercise can occur at any time after the Start Date of the option.
European--Exercise can occur only on the Start Date of the option.
Bermudan--Exercise can occur only on specified dates, usually on coupon payment dates between the Start Date of the option and maturity.
[b] The options are treated in the following manner for each date on which the option can be exercised:1. Project cash flows for the instrument with the imbedded option
assuming that the option is not exercised. If the instrument
is tied to an index, assume that the index remains constant at
its value on that date.2. Determine the discount rate that equates the outstanding balance of
the security plus option premium and accrued interest to the
sum of the discounted values of the projected cash flows. This
discount rate is called the yield-to-maturity.3. Convert the yield-to-maturity to a bond-equivalent yield and compare
the bond-equivalent yield with the projected Enterprise Cost
of Funds for debt with an equivalent maturity. Interpolate
linearly if the maturity is not equal to one of the maturities
specified in section 3.3, Interest Rates, of this appendix.4. If the equivalent-maturity Enterprise Cost of Funds is lower (higher)
than 50 basis points below (above) the bond-equivalent yield
of the callable (putable) instrument, then the option is
exercised. Otherwise, the option is not exercised, and it is
evaluated at the next period when the option can be exercised.
[c] Some swap derivative contracts have cancellation features that allow either counterparty to terminate the contracts on certain dates. The cancellation feature is evaluated by comparing the fixed-rate leg of the swap to the Enterprise Cost of Funds. If either leg of the swap is cancelled, then the other leg is cancelled concurrently. Cancellable swaps are treated in the following manner:1. For each period when an option can be exercised, compare the swap's
fixed-leg coupon rate to the Enterprise Cost of Funds with a
maturity equivalent to the maturity date of the swap.2. If the option is a Call, it is deemed to be exercisable at the
discretion of the Enterprise. If the option is a Put, it is
deemed to be exercisable at the discretion of the
Counterparty. If the option is a PutCall, it is deemed to be
exercisable at the discretion of either party to the swap.
Exercise the option when the swap is out of the money for the
party who holds the option. A swap is considered out of the
money when the rate on its fixed leg is at least 50 basis
point higher or lower, depending upon whether the fixed rate
is paid or received, than the like-maturity Enterprise Cost of
Funds. For zero coupon swaps in all option exercise periods,
use the yield to maturity calculated by equating the notional
amount plus the unamortized discount at the start of the
Stress Test to the present value of the notional amount at
maturity.
a. For example, if the Enterprise holds a call option for a fixed-pay swap and the coupon rate on the fixed-pay leg is at least 50 basis points above the Enterprise cost of funds for a maturity equivalent to that of the swap, then cancel the swap. Otherwise, the swap is not cancelled and it is evaluated the next time that the swap can be cancelled.
3.8.3.8 Calculate Monthly Interest Accruals for the Life of the
Instrument
[a] Monthly interest accruals are calculated by prorating the interest cash flows on an actual-day basis. In this section, the term ``from'' means from and including, ``to'' means up to and not including, and ``through'' means up to and including. As an example, from the first to the third of a month is two days from the first through the third is three days. This convention is used to facilitate the day count and does not imply on which day's payments or accruals are actually made. Use one of the three following methodologies with the exception that interest cash flow dates occurring on or after the 30th of a month are considered as occurring on the last day of the month:1. If the final interest cash flow occurs within the month, the interest
accrual for that month is calculated by multiplying the final
interest cash flow amount (as calculated in section 3.8.3.6 of
this appendix) times the number of days from the beginning of
the month through the final maturity date divided by the
number of days from the previous interest cash flow date to
the maturity date.2. If an interest cash flow other than the final interest cash flow
occurs within a month, the interest accrual for that month is
determined by multiplying the interest cash flow amount for
the current month times the number of days from the beginning
of the month through the interest cash flow date, divided by
the number of days from the previous interest cash flow date
(or issue date) to this interest cash flow date. To this add
the interest cash flow amount for the next interest cash flow
date times the number of days from the current month's
interest cash flow date to the end of the month, divided by
the number of days from the current month's interest cash flow
date to the following next interest cash flow date.3. If no interest cash flows occur during a month other than the issue
month, the monthly interest accrual is calculated by
multiplying the next interest cash flow amount times the
number of days in the month divided by the number of days from
the previous interest cash flow date to the next interest cash
flow date.4. If the issue month occurs after the start of the Stress Test, the
monthly interest accrual is calculated by multiplying the next
interest cash flow amount by the number of days in the month
minus the day of issue, divided by the number of days from the
issue date to the next interest cash flow date.
3.8.3.9 Calculate Monthly Amortization (Accretion) of Premiums
(Discounts) and Fees
[a] Adjust monthly interest accruals (see section 3.10.3.6.1[a]3., of this appendix) to reflect the value over time of discounts, premiums, fees and hedging gains and losses incurred (Deferred Balances). Amortize Deferred Balances that exist at the beginning of the Stress Test until the instrument's Maturity Date. If there are any put, call, or cancel options that are executed, amortize any remaining Deferred Balances in the execution month.

3.8.3.10 Apply Counterparty Haircuts
[a] Finally, the interest and principal cash flows received by the Enterprises for non-mortgage instruments other than swaps and foreign currency-related instruments are Haircut (i.e., reduced) by a percentage to account for the risk of counterparty insolvency, if a counterparty obligation exists. The amount of the Haircut is calculated based on the public rating of the counterparty and time during the stress period in which the cash flow occurs, as specified in section 3.5, Counterparty Defaults, of this appendix.
[b] An Enterprise may issue debt denominated in, or indexed to, foreign currencies, and eliminate the resulting foreign currency exposure by entering into currency swap agreements. The combination of the debt and the swap creates synthetic debt with principal and interest payments denominated in U.S. dollars. The Haircuts for currency swaps are applied to the pay (dollar-denominated) side of the currency swaps, or to the cash outflows of the synthetic debt instrument. Therefore, the payments made by the Enterprise on a foreign currency contract are increased by the haircut amount. The Haircuts and the Phase-in periods for currency swaps are detailed in Table 3-31, under Derivative Contracts.
[c] Haircuts for swaps that are not foreign currency related are applied to the Monthly Interest Accruals (as calculated in section 3.8.3.8, of this appendix) on the receive leg minus the Monthly Interest Accruals on the pay leg when this difference is positive. Use the maximum haircut from Table 3-31 for periods before and after the implementation of netting, as appropriate. After the implementation of netting, net the swap proceeds for each counterparty before applying the haircuts. The following example applies to an Enterprise having two swaps with the same counterparty. On the first swap, the Enterprise pays fixed and receives floating and on the second swap it pays floating and receives fixed. If the counterparty is a net payer to the Enterprise, the haircuts will be applied to the sum of the two receive legs net of the sum of the two pay legs.
3.8.4 Nonmortgage Instrument Outputs
[a] Outputs consist of cash flows and accounting information for debt, nonmortgage investments, preferred stock, and derivative contracts. Cash flows and accounting information outputs are inputs to section 3.10, Operations, Taxes, and Accounting, of this appendix.
[b] Cash flows include the following monthly amounts:1. Interest and principal payments for debt and nonmortgage investments,2. Dividends and redemptions for preferred stock, and3. Interest payments for debt-linked, investment-linked, and mortgage-
linked derivative contracts.
[c] Accounting information includes the following monthly amounts:1. Accrued interest and2. Amortization of discounts, premiums, fees and other deferred items.
3.9 Alternative Modeling Treatments
3.9.1 Alternative Modeling Treatments Overview
[a] This section provides treatment for items that cannot be modeled in one of the ways specified in paragraph [b] of this section, but must be included in order to run the Stress Test. Because the rule provides treatments for a wide variety of instruments and activities that can be applied to accommodate unusual instruments, OFHEO expects few items to fall into this category.
[b] An Alternative Modeling Treatment (AMT) applies to any on- or off-balance-sheet item that is missing data elements required to calculate appropriate cash flows, or any instrument with unusual features for which this appendix does not:1. Provide an explicit computational procedure and set of inputs (i.e.,
the appendix specifies exact data inputs and procedures for a
class of instruments to which the item belongs); or,2. Provide an implicit procedure (used for a general class of
instruments), and explicit inputs that allow the item to be
fully characterized for computational purposes (i.e., the
appendix specifies procedures and data inputs for a class of
instruments to which the item does not belong that can be
applied to the item to accurately compute its cash flows); or3. Provide an implicit procedure by exact substitution, i.e., by
representing the item as a computationally equivalent
combination of other items that are specified in paragraphs
(1) or (2) in this section (i.e., the appendix specifies
treatments for two or more instruments, which, in combination,
exactly produce the item's cash flows); or4. Permit the approximation of one or more computational characteristics
by other similar values that are explicitly specified in this
appendix, or in the RBC Report instructions (i.e., the
appendix specifies a treatment, or combination of treatments,
that can be used as a reasonable proxy for the computational
characteristics of the item). Such proxy treatments must be
approved by OFHEO. OFHEO may, in its discretion, approve a
proposed proxy treatment, adopt a different proxy treatment,
or treat items for which a proxy treatment has been proposed
by the Enterprises according to the remaining provisions of
section 3.9, Alternative Modeling Treatments, of this
appendix.
[c] For a given on- or off-balance sheet item, the appropriate AMT is determined according to the categories specified in section 3.9.3, Alternative Modeling Treatments Procedures, of this appendix, based on the information available for that item. The output for each such item is a set of cash and accounting flows, or specific amounts to be applied in section 3.12, Calculation of the Risk-Based Capital Requirement, of this appendix.
3.9.2 Alternative Modeling Treatments Inputs
Table 3-70 identifies the minimal inputs that are used to determine an AMT. (See also section 3.1, Data, of this appendix)

3.9.3 Alternative Modeling Treatments Procedures
For each item, one of the following alternatives will be applied:
3.9.3.1 Off-Balance Sheet Items
[a] If the item is a guarantee of a tax-exempt multifamily housing bond, or a single family or multifamily whole-loan REMIC class rated triple-A, or other similar transaction guaranteed by the Enterprises, multiply the face value of the guaranteed instruments by 0.45 percent. This amount is added to the amount of capital required to maintain positive total capital throughout the ten-year Stress Period. Any instruments or obligations with 100 percent of collateral guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) are excluded from this calculation.
[b] Otherwise, add to the amount of capital required to maintain positive total capital throughout the ten-year Stress Period an amount equal to the face or notional value of the item at the beginning of the Stress Period times three percent.
3.9.3.2 Reconciling Items
Reconciling items falling into this category will be treated according to the specifications in section 3.10, Operations, Taxes, and Accounting, of this appendix.
3.9.3.3 Balance Sheet Items
[a] If the item is a trading security recorded at fair value according to FAS 115, then the book value (the face value adjusted for deferred balances) will be converted to cash in the first month of the Stress Test.
[b] Otherwise, if the item is an earning asset, then it is treated as a held-to-maturity asset, based on book value, as follows:1. In the up-rate scenario, it will be treated as a held-to-maturity
bond paying compound interest on a 30/360 basis at maturity,
with the item's contractual maturity and rate. The item will
be Haircut according to its rating. If no maturity is
provided, maturity will be set at 120 months. If no rate is
provided, a rate will be assigned at the Initial Enterprise
Cost of Funds whose term is equal to the remaining maturity,
less 200 basis points (but not less than zero). If no rating
is provided, the asset will be classified as unrated.2. In the down-rate scenario, it will be treated as a held-to-maturity
bond paying compound interest on a 30/360 basis at maturity,
with the item's contractual
maturity and rate. The item will be Haircut according to its
rating. If no maturity is provided, maturity will be set at
120 months. If no rate is provided, a rate will be assigned at
the floating one-month Enterprise Cost of Funds less 200 basis
points (but not less than zero). If no rating is provided, the
asset will be classified as unrated.
[c] If the item is a non-earning asset it will remain on the books and earn no interest throughout the Stress Period.
[d] Otherwise, if the item is a liability, then it is treated as follows, based on book value:1. In the up-rate scenario, it will be treated as non-callable and
monthly coupon-paying to maturity on a 30/360 basis. If the
coupon rate is not specified, the liability will be given a
floating rate at the one-month Enterprise Cost of Funds plus
200 basis points. If no maturity is provided, maturity will be
set at 120 months.2. In the down-rate scenario, it will be treated as non-callable and
monthly coupon paying to maturity. If no coupon is provided,
the liability will be given a fixed rate at the Initial
Enterprise Cost of Funds plus 200 basis points. If no maturity
is provided, maturity will be set at ten years.
[e] Unamortized Balances should be amortized on a straight-line basis over the designated remaining maturity of the instrument.
[f] All items in this section are treated as if they had no options or cancellation features. The face value will be held constant until maturity. If an item has an adjustable rate, it is assumed that the interest rate will adjust monthly with no caps and a lifetime floor of zero percent.
3.9.4 Alternative Modeling Treatments Outputs
For each AMT item, the output is a set of cash and accounting flows appropriate to its respective treatment as specified in section 3.9.3, Alternative Modeling Treatments Procedures, or specific amounts to be applied in section 3.12, Calculation of the Risk-Based Capital Requirement, of this appendix.
3.10 Operations, Taxes, and Accounting
3.10.1 Operations, Taxes, and Accounting Overview
This section describes the procedures for determining new debt issuance and investments, computing capital distributions, calculating operating expenses and taxes, and creating pro forma balance sheets and income statements. Input data include an Enterprise's balance sheet at the beginning of the Stress Period, interest rates from the Interest Rates component of the Stress Test, and the outputs from cash flow components of the Stress Test. The outputs of the procedures discussed in this section--monthly pro forma balance sheets, cash flow and income statements for each month of the Stress Test--are the basis for the capital calculation described in section 3.12, Calculation of the Risk-Based Capital Requirement, of this appendix.
3.10.2 Operations, Taxes, and Accounting Inputs
[a] Data described in section 3.1, Data, section 3.3.4, Interest Rates Outputs, section 3.6.4, Final Whole Loan Cash Flow Outputs, section 3.7.4, Mortgage-Related Securities Outputs, and section 3.8.4, Nonmortgage Instrument Outputs, of this appendix, is used to produce monthly pro forma balance sheets and income statements for the Enterprises. In addition to the starting position data, described in the cash flow components, the Enterprises provide the starting position dollar values for the items in Table 3-71.

3.10.3 Operations, Taxes, and Accounting Procedures
The Stress Test calculates new debt and investments, dividends, allowances for loan losses, operating expenses, and income taxes. These calculations are determined by, and also affect, the pro forma balance sheets and income statements during the Stress Period.
3.10.3.1 New Debt and Investments
[a] For each month of the Stress Test, cash deficits and surpluses are eliminated by issuing new debt or purchasing new investments. The Stress Test calculates cash received and cash disbursed each month in order to determine the net availability of cash. Depending on the calculated net cash position at month end, new short term investments are purchased at mid-month or a mix of long and short term debt is issued at mid-month so that the recalculated net cash position at month end is zero.
[b] For each month of the Stress Test, the following calculations are performed to determine the amount and type of new debt and investments. The short-term investments and appropriate mix of long-term and short-term debt are reflected in the pro forma balance sheets. Interest income or interest expense for the new investments or debt are reflected in the pro forma income statements.1. In any month in which the cash position is positive at the end of the
month, the Stress Test invests the Enterprise's excess cash on
the 15th day of that month in one-month Treasury bills that
yield the six-month Treasury rate for that month as specified
in section 3.3, Interest Rates, of this appendix.2. In any month in which the cash position is negative at the end of the
month, the Stress Test issues a mix of new short-term and
long-term debt on the 15th day of that month. New short-term
debt issued is six-month discount notes with a
discount rate at the six-month Enterprise Cost of Funds as
specified in section 3.3, Interest Rates, of this appendix,
with interest accruing on a 30/360 basis. New long-term debt
issued is five-year bonds not callable for the first year
(``five-year-no call-one'') with an American call at par after
the end of the first year, semiannual coupons on a 30/360
basis with principal paid at maturity or call, and a coupon
rate set at the five year Enterprise Cost of Funds as
specified in section 3.3, Interest Rates, of this appendix,
plus a 50 basis point premium for the call option. During the
Stress Test, the call option for new long-term debt issued is
not executed in the up-rate scenario and in the down-rate
scenario follows the same call exercise rule as other debt. An
issuance cost of 2.5 basis points is assessed on new short-
term debt at issue and an issuance cost of 20 basis points is
assessed on new long-term debt at issue. New long-term debt is
issued to target a total debt mix of short- to long-term debt
that is the same as the short- to long-term debt mix at the
beginning of the Stress Test. Issuance fees for new debt are
amortized on a straight line basis to the maturity of the
appropriate instrument.3. Given the Net Cash Deficit (NCDm) in month m, use the
following constants and method to calculate the amount of
short-term and long-term debt to issue in month m:
a. Set the Issuance Cost on new short-term debt at issue (ISCOST):
ISCOST = 0.00025
b. Set the Issuance Cost on new long-term debt at issue (ILCOST):
ILCOST = 0.002
c. Calculate Net Short-term Debt Outstanding (NSDO0) and Total Debt Outstanding (TDO0) at the start of the Stress Test (m = 0) using the following methodology:
1) For each month m and each debt and swap instrument i (each swap leg is considered a separate instrument), determine the Month of Next Repricing (MNRm) defined as the first month greater than m in which the instrument matures or repricing can occur whether or not the coupon rate actually changes. Set the Principal Balance (PBm) to be:
a) The principal (or notional principal) outstanding if the instrument cash flows are paid by the Enterprise,
b) Minus the principal (or notional principal) outstanding if the instrument cash flows are received by the Enterprise.
c) Zero if m is less than or equal to the issue month or the month in which an option exercised during the stress test would begin accruing cash flows to or from the Enterprise.
d) Zero if m is greater than or equal to the maturity month or the month in which an option exercised during the stress test would cease further cash flows to or from the Enterprise.
2) Calculate NSDOm by summing PBm,i for all instruments where MNRm,i is less than or equal to m plus 12.
3) Calculate TDOm by summing PBm,i for instruments where MNRm,i, is greater than m.
d. Set the Maximum Proportion of Total Debt (MPD):

3.10.3.2 Dividends and Share Repurchases
[a] The Stress Test determines quarterly whether to pay dividends and make share repurchases. Dividends are decided upon and paid during the first month after the end of the quarter for which they are declared. If any dividends are paid, the dividend payout cannot exceed an amount equal to core capital less the estimated minimum capital requirement at the end of the quarter. Share repurchases are made during the middle month of the quarter.1. Preferred Stock. An Enterprise will pay dividends on preferred stock
as long as that Enterprise meets the estimated minimum capital
requirement before and after the payment of these dividends.
Preferred stock dividends are based on the coupon rates of the
issues outstanding. The coupon rates for any issues of
variable rate preferred stock are calculated using projections
of the appropriate index rate. Preferred stock dividends may
not exceed core capital less the estimated minimum capital
requirement at the end of the preceding quarter.2. Common Stock. In the first year of the Stress Test, dividends are
paid on common stock in each of the four quarters after
preferred dividends, if any, are paid unless the Enterprise's
capital is, or after the payment, would be, below the
estimated minimum capital requirement.
a. First Quarter. In the first quarter, the dividend is the dividend per share ratio for common stock from the quarter preceding the Stress Test times the current number of shares of common stock outstanding.
b. Subsequent Quarters.
1) In the three subsequent quarters, if the preceding quarter's after tax income is greater than after tax income in the quarter preceding the Stress Test, (adjusted by the ratio of the Enterprise's retained earnings and retained earnings after adjustments are made that revert investment securities and derivatives to amortized cost), pay the larger of (1) the dividend per share ratio for common stock from the quarter preceding the Stress Test times the current number of shares of common stock outstanding or (2) the average dividend payout ratio for common stock for the four quarters preceding the start of the Stress Test times the preceding quarter's after tax income (adjusted by the reciprocal of the ratio of the Enterprise's retained earnings and retained earnings after adjustments are made that revert investment securities and derivatives to amortized cost) less preferred dividends paid in the current quarter. In no case may the dividend payment exceed an amount equal to core capital less the estimated minimum capital requirement at the end of the preceding quarter.
(2) If the previous quarter's after tax income is less than or equal to after tax income in the quarter preceding the Stress Test (adjusted by the ratio of the Enterprise's retained earnings and retained earnings after adjustments are made that revert investment securities and derivatives to amortized cost), pay the lesser of (1) the dividend per share ratio for common stock for the quarter preceding the Stress Test times the current number of shares of common stock outstanding or (2) an amount equal to core capital less the estimated minimum capital requirement at the end of the preceding quarter, but not less than zero.3. Share Repurchases. In the first two quarters of the Stress Test, the
capital of the Enterprises will be reduced to reflect the
repurchase of shares. The amount of the capital reduction in
each of those two quarters will be equal to the average net
stock repurchases by the Enterprise during the four quarters
preceding the start of the Stress Period. Net stock
repurchases equal repurchases less receipts from new stock
issued, but not less than zero. Repurchases in each of the
first two quarters may occur only up to the point that the
amount of core capital exceeds the estimated minimum capital
requirement at the end of the first month of the quarter.4. Minimum Capital Requirements. For the purposes of the Stress Test,
the Enterprise's minimum capital requirement is computed by
applying leverage ratios to all assets (2.50 percent) and off-
balance sheet obligations (0.45 percent), and summing the
results. Repurchases of an Enterprise's own previously-issued
MBSs are excluded from the minimum capital calculation used in
section 3.10.3.2, Dividends and Share Repurchases, of this
appendix.
3.10.3.3 Allowances for Loan Losses and Other Charge-Offs
[a] The Stress Test calculates a tentative allowance for loan losses monthly by multiplying current-month Credit Losses (CL in Table 3-52) by twelve, thus annualizing current month Credit Losses. This is a proxy for a loss contingency where it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. For both the retained and sold portfolios, these credit losses include lost principal (net of recoveries from credit enhancements and disposition of the real estate collateral), and foreclosure, holding, and disposition costs. If the tentative allowance for loan losses for the current period is greater than the balance from the prior month less charge-offs (i.e., credit losses) for the current month, a provision (i.e., expense) is recorded. Otherwise, no provision is made and the allowance for loan losses is equal to the prior period amount less current month charge-offs.
[b] Other charge-offs result from Haircuts related to mortgage revenue bonds, private-issue MBS, and non mortgage investments, described in their respective cash flow components.1. In the case of Enterprise investments in securities, these Haircuts
result in the receipt of less principal and interest than is
contractually due. Lost principal is recorded as Other Losses
when due and not received, while lost interest is recorded as
a reduction of Interest Income.2. In the case of interest rate derivative instruments, these Haircuts
result in the receipt of less net interest than is
contractually due from, or the payment of more interest than
is contractually due to, an Enterprise counterparty. For those
swaps that are linked to Enterprise investments, the increase
or decrease of net swap interest due is recorded as an
adjustment of Interest Income. For those swaps that are linked
to Enterprise debt obligations, the increase or decrease of
net swap interest due is recorded as an adjustment of Interest
Expense.
3.10.3.4 Operating Expenses
[a] The Stress Test calculates operating expenses, which include non-interest costs such as those related to an Enterprise's salaries and benefits, professional services, property, equipment and office space. Over the Stress Period, operating expenses are equal to the sum of two components. The first component in each month is equal to one-third (\1/3\) of the average monthly operating expenses of the Enterprise in the quarter immediately preceding the start of the Stress Test. The second component changes in proportion to the change in the size of the Enterprise's mortgage portfolio (i.e., the sum of outstanding principal balances of its retained and sold mortgage portfolios). The Stress Test calculates the Enterprise's mortgage portfolio at the end of each month of the Stress Period as a percentage of the portfolio at the start of the Stress Test, and then multiplies the percentage of assets remaining by two-thirds (\2/3\) of the average monthly operating expenses of the Enterprise in the quarter immediately preceding the start of the Stress Test.
[b] The sum of the two components in paragraph [a], of this section, is multiplied by a factor which equals[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.124 for the first 12 months of the Stress Test and then equals two-thirds for months 13 and beyond. This product is the Enterprise's operating expense for a given month in the Stress Period.
3.10.3.5 Income Taxes
[a] Both Enterprises are subject to Federal income taxes, but neither is subject to state or local income taxes.
[b] The Stress Test applies an effective Federal income tax rate of 30 percent when calculating the monthly provision for income taxes (e.g., income tax expense). OFHEO may change the 30 percent income tax rate if there are significant changes in Enterprise experience or changes in the statutory income tax.
[c] The Stress Test sets income tax expense for tax purposes equal to the provision for income taxes. The effects of timing differences between taxable income and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) income before income taxes are ignored. Income before taxes is adjusted by the ratio of Enterprise retained earnings and retained earnings after adjustments are made that revert investment securities and derivatives to amortized cost. Therefore, Net Operating Loss (NOL) occurs only when the net income, before the provision for income taxes, is negative.
[d] Payments for estimated income taxes are made quarterly, in the month after the end of the quarter. At the end of each year, the annual estimated tax amount is compared to the annual actual tax amount. In March of the next year, a payment of remaining taxes is made or a refund for overpayment of income taxes is received.
[e] The NOL for the current year is ``carried back'' to offset taxes in any or all of the preceding two calendar years. (The Enterprises' tax year is the same as the calendar year.) This offset of the prior years' taxes results in a negative provision for income taxes (e.g., income) for the current year. Use of a carry back reduces available carry backs in subsequent years. Any NOL remaining after carry backs are exhausted becomes a carry forward.
[f] Carry forwards represent NOLs that cannot be carried back to offset previous years' taxes, but can be used to offset taxes in any or all of the subsequent 20 years. Carry forwards accumulate until used, or until they expire 20 years after they are generated.
[g] A valuation adjustment is used to eliminate any deferred tax asset.
3.10.3.6 Accounting
[a] The 1992 Act specifies that total capital includes core capital and a general allowance for foreclosure losses. For the Enterprises, this general allowance is represented by general allowances for loan losses on their retained and sold mortgage portfolios. As defined at 12 CFR 1750.2, core capital includes the sum of the following components of equity:1. The par or stated value of outstanding common stock,2. The par or stated value of outstanding perpetual, noncumulative
preferred stock,3. Paid-in capital, and4. Retained earnings.
[b] In order to determine the amount of total capital an Enterprise must hold to maintain positive total capital throughout the ten-year Stress Period, the Stress Test projects the four components of equity listed in paragraph [a] of this section plus general loss allowances as part of the monthly pro forma balance sheets.
[c] Details of an Enterprise's actual balance sheet at the beginning of the Stress Test are recorded from a combination of starting position balances for all instruments for which other components of the Stress Test calculate cash flows and other starting position balances for assets, liabilities, and equity accounts needed to complete an Enterprise's balance sheet.
[d] After recording an Enterprise's balance sheet at the beginning of the Stress Period, the Stress Test creates monthly pro forma balance sheets and income statements by recording output from the cash flow components of the Stress Test; recording new debt and investments (and related interest), dividends, loss allowances, operating expenses, and taxes; and applying accounting rules pertaining to pro forma balance sheets and income statements.
3.10.3.6.1 Accounting for Cash Flows and Accounting Flows
[a] Balances at the beginning of the Stress Test are obtained from the RBC Report. Subsequent changes to related pro forma balance sheet and income statement accounts are obtained from data generated by cash flow components of the Stress Test as follows:1. Retained Loans. For Retained Loans, interest cash flows in the first
month of the Stress Period reduce accrued interest receivable
at the beginning of the Stress Test. Subsequent months
interest cash flows are recorded as accrued interest
receivable and interest income in the month prior to receipt.
When the interest cash flows are received, accrued interest
receivable is reduced. Monthly principal cash flows (including
Prepayments and defaulted principal) are recorded as
reductions in the outstanding balance of the loan group. Net
losses on Defaults are charged off against the allowance for
loan losses. Amortization of deferred discounts increases
interest income; amortization of deferred premiums decreases
interest income.2. Mortgage Revenue Bonds. For mortgage revenue bonds, interest cash
flows in the first month of the Stress Period reduce accrued
interest receivable at the beginning of the Stress Test.
Subsequent months' interest cash flows are recorded as accrued
interest receivable and interest income in the month prior to
receipt. When the interest cash flows are received, accrued
interest receivable is reduced. Monthly principal cash flows
(including Prepayments) are recorded in the month received as
a reduction in the outstanding balance of mortgage assets.
Defaulted principal is charged off when due and is not
received. Amortization of deferred discounts increases
interest income; amortization of deferred premiums decreases
interest income.3. Nonmortgage Instruments. Principal repayments of nonmortgage
instruments reduce the nonmortgage instrument and
increases or decreases cash. When the interest cash flows are
received or paid, accrued interest receivable or payable is
reduced. Accrued interest includes both amounts at the
beginning of the Stress Period and subsequent monthly accruals
(also recorded as interest income or interest expense).
Amortization of deferred discounts and premiums increases or
decreases interest income or interest expense. Defaulted
principal is charged off when due and not received.4. Sold Portfolio. Sold portfolio cash flows include monthly guarantee
fees, float, and principal and interest due MBS investors.
Guarantee fees are recorded as income in the month received.
Principal and interest due mortgage security investors does
not affect the balance sheet; however, interest earned on
these amounts (float) is recorded as income in the month the
underlying principal and interest payments are received.
Principal payments received and defaulted loan balances reduce
the outstanding balance of the sold portfolio. Losses (net of
recoveries) are charged off against the allowance for losses
on the sold portfolio (a liability on the pro forma balance
sheets) and reduce cash. Amortization of deferred premiums and
discounts increases or decreases guarantee fees.
3.10.3.6.2 Accounting for Non-Cash Items
[a] Changes in the pro forma balances for other parts of the Enterprise's balance sheet not resulting from cash flows are recorded as described in the following nine steps:1. Unrealized Gains and Losses.a. The valuation impact of any Applicable Fair Value Standards (AFVS),
cumulative from their time of implementation, will be reversed
out of the starting position data, by debiting any accumulated
credits, and crediting any accumulated debits.
(1) AFVS are defined as GAAP pronouncements that require or allow fair value measurements, e.g., EITF 99-20, FAS 65, FAS 87, FAS 115, FAS 133, FAS 140, FAS 149 and FIN 45. Valuation impacts of AVFS pertain only to amounts that are measured at fair value and not to other amounts that are included in AFVS but are not measured at fair value.
(2) The GAAP pronouncements covered by this treatment are subject to OFHEO review. The Enterprises will submit a list of standards and pronouncements that are being reversed in their RBC Reports.b. After reversing the valuation impact of AFVS, any affected items are
presented as follows:
(1) If absent the adoption of the AFVS, the affected transactions measured at fair value would have been accounted for on an amortized cost basis, they are presented as if they had always been accounted for on an amortized cost basis. Amounts not measured at fair value are represented as specified by GAAP and are presented using current GAAP rules.
(2) To the extent that transactions would not have been accounted for on an amortized cost basis, they are accounted for as if they were income and expense items.2. Low Income Housing Tax Credit Investments. Low income housing tax
credit investments at the beginning of the Stress Test are
converted to cash on a straight line basis over the first six
months of the Stress Period.3. Other Assets. The following other assets at the beginning of the
Stress Test are converted to cash as follows:
a. Clearing accounts and other miscellaneous receivables (e.g., fees receivable, accounts receivable, and other miscellaneous assets) in the first month of the Stress Test.
b. Earning assets (see section 3.9, Alternative Modeling Treatments, of this appendix)
c. Items not covered by a. and b. of this section on a straight-line basis over the first five-years of the Stress Test.4. Real Estate Owned (REO). Real estate owned at the beginning of the
Stress Test is converted to cash on a straight-line basis over
the first six months of the Stress Test.
5. Fixed Assets. 25 percent of fixed assets (net of accumulated depreciation) as of the beginning of the Stress Test remain constant over the Stress Test. The remaining 75 percent is converted to cash on a straight line basis over the ten-year Stress Period. Depreciation is included in the base on which operating expenses are calculated for each month during the Stress Period.6. Principal and Interest Payable. Principal and interest payable to an
Enterprise's mortgage security investors at the beginning of
the Stress Test are paid during the first two months of the
Stress Test (one-half in month one and one-half in month two).7. Other Liabilities. The following liabilities at the beginning of the
Stress Test are paid in the first month of the Stress Test,
reducing cash:
a. Escrow deposits
b. Other miscellaneous liabilities8. Commitments. No gains or losses are recorded when commitments are
added to the Enterprise's sold portfolio. See section 3.2.1,
of this appendix.9. Fully-Hedged Foreign Currency-Denominated Liabilities. Amounts that
relate to currency swaps and foreign currency-denominated
liabilities will be treated as follows:
a. Recorded balances that correspond to converted foreign currency-denominated liabilities will be amortized in a manner that is consistent with scheduled pay leg exchanges of notional amounts as set forth in corresponding currency swaps. The unamortized premiums, discounts and/or fees that are associated with these liabilities will be amortized as described in section 3.8, of this appendix, as if they were associated with the pay legs of the corresponding currency swap. Any differences will be reflected as an increase or decrease in Retained Earnings.
b. Interest payable amounts associated with currency swaps will be settled in a manner that is consistent with the contractual terms for these instruments.
c. Receivable amounts associated with currency swaps and interest payable amounts associated with foreign currency-denominated debt will be reversed against Retained Earnings.
d. The adjustments in a., b. and c., of this section, will take place at the start of the Stress Test. These treatments are not applied to instruments that are modeled under AMT (see section 3.9, Alternative Modeling Treatments, of this appendix) or foreign currency-denominated instruments that are not fully hedged.
3.10.3.6.3 Other Accounting Principles
The following additional accounting principles apply to the pro forma balance sheets and income statements:1. All investment securities are treated as held to maturity. As such,
they are recorded as assets at amortized cost, not at fair
value.2. All non-securitized mortgage loans will be classified as ``held-to-
maturity'' and will be accounted for on an amortized cost
basis.3. Effective control over the collateral for collateral financings is
with the party that originally delivered such collateral.4. Enterprise Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) subsidiaries are
consolidated. Specifically, REIT assets are treated as
Enterprise assets. Preferred stock of the REIT is reflected as
Enterprise debt. Dividends paid on the preferred stock are
reported as interest expense.5. Treasury stock is reflected as a reduction in retained earnings.
3.10.4 Operations, Taxes, and Accounting Outputs
For each month of the Stress Period, the Stress Test produces a pro forma balance sheet and income statement. The Operations, Taxes and Accounting component outputs 121 monthly and 11 annual balance sheets, 120 monthly and 10 annual income statements, and 120 monthly and 10 annual cash flow statements, including part-year statements for the first and last calendar years of the Stress Test when necessary. These pro forma financial statements are the inputs for calculation of the risk-based capital requirement (see section 3.12, Calculation of the Risk-Based Capital Requirement, of this appendix).
3.11 Treatment of New Enterprise Activities
3.11.1 New Enterprise Activities Overview
[a] Given rapid innovation in the financial services industry, OFHEO anticipates the Enterprises will become involved with new mortgage products, investments, debt and derivative instruments, and business activities, which must be accommodated in the Stress Test in order to capture all of the risk in the Enterprises' businesses. New accounting entries resulting from these innovations and changes in accounting must also be accommodated. The regulation is sufficiently flexible and complete to address new Enterprise activities as they emerge, using the procedures outlined in this section. However, OFHEO will monitor the Enterprises' activities and, when appropriate, propose amendments to this regulation addressing the treatment of new instruments, activities, or accounting treatments.
[b] For the purpose of this section of the appendix, the term New Activity means any type of asset, liability, off-balance-sheet item, accounting entry, or activity to which a Stress Test treatment has not previously been applied. In addition, the Director has the discretion to treat as a New Activity: (1) any activity or instrument with characteristics or unusual features that create risks or hedges for the Enterprise that are not reflected adequately in the specified treatments for similar activities or instruments; and (2) any activity or instrument for which the specified treatment no longer adequately reflects the risk/benefit to the Enterprise, either because of increased volume or because new information concerning those risks/hedges has become available.
3.11.2 New Enterprise Activities Inputs
[a] Complete data and full explanations of the operation of the New Activity sufficient to understand the risk profile of the New Activity must be provided by the Enterprise. The Enterprises are required to notify OFHEO, pursuant to Sec. 1750.12(c), of proposals related to New Activities as soon as possible, but in any event no later than five calendar days after the date on which the transaction closes or is settled. The Enterprises are encouraged to suggest an appropriate capital treatment that will fully capture the credit and interest rate risk in the New Activity. Information on New Activities must also be submitted and appropriately identified as such in the RBC Report.
[b] The Stress Test will not give an Enterprise the capital benefit associated with a New Activity where OFHEO determines that the impact of that activity on the risk-based capital level of the Enterprise is not commensurate with the economic benefit to the Enterprise.
3.11.3 New Enterprise Activities Procedures
[a] OFHEO will analyze the risk characteristics and determine whether an existing approach specified in the appendix appropriately captures the risk of the New Activity or whether some combination or adaptation of existing approaches specified in the appendix is appropriate. For example, the Stress Test might employ its mortgage performance components and adapt its cash flow components to simulate accurately the loss mitigating effects and counterparty credit risk of credit derivatives.
[b] Where there is no reasonable approach using existing combinations or adaptations of treatments specified in this appendix that could be applied within the timeframe for computing a quarterly capital calculation, the Stress Test will employ an appropriately conservative treatment, consistent with OFHEO's role as a safety and soundness regulator. Such treatment may include an alternative modeling treatment specified in section 3.9, Alternative Modeling Treatments, of this appendix, or some other conservative treatment that OFHEO deems more appropriate.
[c] OFHEO will provide the Enterprise with its estimate of the capital treatment as soon as possible after receiving notice of the New Activity. In any event, the Enterprise will be notified of the capital treatment in accordance with the notice of proposed capital classification provided for in Sec. 1777.21 of this chapter.
[d] After a treatment has been incorporated into a final capital classification, OFHEO will provide notice of such treatment to the public, including the other Enterprise. OFHEO will consider any comments it receives from the public regarding the treatment during subsequent quarters. OFHEO may change the treatment as a result of such input or otherwise, if OFHEO determines that the risks of the New Activity are not appropriately reflected in a treatment previously adopted.
3.11.4 New Enterprise Activities Outputs
The Stress Test will generate a set of cash and/or accounting flows reflecting the treatment applied to the New Activity.
3.12 Calculation of the Risk-Based Capital Requirement
3.12.1 Risk-Based Capital Requirement Overview
The risk-based capital requirement is the sum of (1) the minimum amount of total capital that an Enterprise must hold at the start of the Stress Test in order to maintain positive total capital throughout the ten-year Stress Period, for all financial instruments explicitly modeled in the Stress Test (Stress Test capital subtotal) and (2) certain additional amounts relating to off-balance-sheet items addressed in section 3.9, Alternative Modeling Treatments, of this appendix, and (3) 30 percent of that sum for management and operations risk. The Stress Test capital subtotal is determined based on monthly total capital figures from the pro forma financial statements, the additional amounts related to off-balance-sheet items, and Enterprise short term borrowing and investment rates.
3.12.2 Risk-Based Capital Requirement Inputs
[a] Inputs to the capital calculation are outputs from section 3.3, Interest Rates, section 3.9, Alternative Modeling Treatments, and section 3.10, Operations, Taxes, and Accounting, of this appendix.
[b] For each month of the Stress Test, the following inputs are from, or used in the creation of, pro forma financial statements projected in section 3.10, Operations, Taxes, and Accounting, of this appendix: 1. Total capital
a. The par or stated value of outstanding common stock,
b. The par or stated value of outstanding perpetual, noncumulative preferred stock,
c. Paid-in capital,
d. retained earnings, and
e. allowance for losses on retained and sold mortgages less specific losses calculated in accordance with FAS 114,2. Provision for income taxes (income tax expense),3. Valuation adjustment that reduces benefits recorded from net
operating losses when no net operating loss tax carrybacks are
available, and4. An Enterprise's cash position prior to the decision to issue new debt
or purchase new investments to balance the balance sheet (see
section 3.10.3.1, New Debt and Investments, of this appendix).
[c] For present-value calculations, the Stress Test uses the six-month Enterprise Cost of Funds or the six-month CMT yield as described in section 3.3, Interest Rates, of this appendix.
[d] The amount for off-balance-sheet items that are not explicitly modeled is obtained from section 3.9.3.1, Off-Balance Sheet Items, of this appendix.
3.12.3 Risk-Based Capital Requirement Procedures
[a] The following eight steps are used to determine the Stress Test capital subtotal and the risk-based capital requirement for an Enterprise:1. Determine the effective tax rate in each month. If the provision for
income taxes is positive (reflecting taxes owed) or negative
(reflecting tax refunds to be received), then the effective
tax rate is 30 percent. If the provision for income taxes is
zero after applying any valuation adjustments (see section
3.10.3.6, Accounting, of this appendix), then the effective
tax rate applied in step 3. of this section is zero.2. Determine whether an Enterprise is an investor or a borrower in each
month of the Stress Period. In months where an Enterprise has
outstanding six-month discount notes that were issued during
the stress test, then the Enterprise is a borrower. Otherwise,
the Enterprise is an investor.3. Determine the appropriate monthly discount factor for each month of
the Stress Period:
a. In months where an Enterprise is an investor, the monthly discount
factor is based on the yield of short-term assets:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.125
b. In months where an Enterprise is a borrower, the monthly discount
factor is based on the cost of the Enterprise's short-term
debt:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR13SE01.126
Where: 0.00025 is the factor that incorporates the issuance and administrative
costs for an Enterprise's new discount notes. 4. Compute the appropriate cumulative discount for each month of the
Stress Period. The cumulative discount factor for a given
month is the monthly discount factor for that month multiplied
by the cumulative discount factor for the preceding month.
(The cumulative discount factor for the first month of the
Stress Period is the monthly discount factor for that month.)
Thus, the cumulative discount factor for any month
incorporates all of the previous monthly discount factors.5. Discount total capital for each month of the Stress Period to the
start of the Stress Period for both interest rate scenarios.
Divide the total capital for a given month by the cumulative
discount factor for that month.6. Identify the Stress Test capital subtotal, which is the lowest
discounted total capital amount from among the 240 monthly
discounted total capital amounts.7. From the Stress Test capital subtotal, subtract the capital required
for off-balance sheet items not explicitly modeled in the
Stress Test, as calculated in section 3.9.3.1, Off-Balance
Sheet Items, of this appendix. Then subtract the resulting
difference from the Enterprise's total capital at the start of
the Stress Period. The resulting number is the amount of total
capital that an Enterprise must hold at the start of the
Stress Test in order to maintain positive total capital
throughout the ten-year Stress Period.8. Multiply the minimum total capital amount by 1.3 for management and
operations risk.9. Subtract the net increase (or add the net decrease) in Retained
Earnings related to Fair Value Hedges at the start of the
stress test made in accordance with section 3.10.3.6.2[a]1.b.
of this appendix.
3.12.4 Risk-Based Capital Requirement Output
The output of the calculations in this section is the risk-based capital requirement for an Enterprise at the start date of the Stress Test.
