Two more regional Federal Home Loan Banks plan to restate past earnings to correct their faulty accounting on derivatives, fanning worries of restatements at the remaining FHLB banks.


The FHLB-Atlanta and FHLB-Dallas said on Monday they will restate financial results for the last four years to change their book-keeping on interest rate derivatives used to hedge mortgage loans and securities.


On Friday, FHLB-Indianapolis said it would restate all earnings reports since 2001 to comply with proper “GAAP” accounting standards on interest rate derivatives. In June, FHLB-Topeka said it would revise its financial results for 2002 and 2003 on its book-keeping of derivatives.
