1  The prepayment of our investments and advances is unpredictable and we cannot be certain of the timing or amount of future prepayments. Accordingly, we believe that the use of adjusted net yield is useful to members and others in evaluating our ongoing operational and financial results in a manner that is consistent with our evaluation of business performance. Additionally, we believe excluding prepayment fee income on investments and advances assists members in developing expectations of future performance.
