Special Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-looking Statements

The information included or incorporated by reference in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, projections, estimates, predictions, future financial performance and ongoing business, including without limitation: statements that are not historical in nature, or statements preceded by, followed by or that include words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends” or similar expressions. The FHLBank cautions that, by their nature, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions and actual results may differ materially from those expressed, contemplated or implied by the forward-looking statements or could affect the extent to which a certain plan, objective, projection, estimate or prediction is realized.

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the following:
§Economic and market conditions;
§Demand for FHLBank advances resulting from changes in FHLBank members’ deposit flows and/or credit demands;
§
The volume of eligible mortgage loans originated and sold by participating members to the FHLBank through its various mortgage finance products (Mortgage Partnership Finance® (MPF®) Program1);
§Pricing of various mortgage finance products under the MPF Program by the MPF Provider since the FHLBank has only limited input on pricing through our participation on the MPF Governance Committee;
§Volatility of market prices, rates and indices that could affect the value of investments or collateral held by the FHLBank as security for the obligations of FHLBank members and counterparties to derivatives and similar instruments or the FHLBank’s ability to liquidate collateral expediently in the event of a default by an obligor;
§Political events, including legislative, regulatory, judicial, or other developments that affect the FHLBank, its members, counterparties and/or investors in the consolidated obligations of the 12 FHLBanks;

§The pace of technological change and the ability to develop and support technology and information systems, including the Internet, sufficient to manage the risks and operations of the FHLBank’s business effectively;
§Changes in domestic and foreign investor demand for consolidated obligations of the 12 FHLBanks and/or the terms of derivatives and similar instruments including, without limitation, changes in the relative attractiveness of consolidated obligations as compared to other investment opportunities including existing and newly created debt programs explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government;
§Timing and volume of market activity;
§Ability to introduce new FHLBank products and services, and successfully manage the risks associated with those products and services, including new types of collateral used to secure advances;
§Risks related to the operations of the other 11 FHLBanks that could trigger our joint and several liability for debt issued by the other 11 FHLBanks;
§Risk of loss arising from litigation filed against the FHLBank; and

For additional information regarding these and other risks, see Item 1A – “Risk Factors” in the annual report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference herein.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF TOPEKA
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31,June 30, 2009


NOTE 1 – FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim financial statements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (FHLBank) are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions provided by Article 10, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The financial statements contain all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the FHLBank’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.

The FHLBank’s significant accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. The interim financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the FHLBank’s audited financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the FHLBank’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 26, 2009 (annual report on Form 10-K). The notes to the interim financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the annual report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements under GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements in determining the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and estimated fair values and in determining the disclosure of any contingent assets or liabilities. Estimates and assumptions by management also affect the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Many of the estimates and assumptions, including those used in financial models, are based on financial market conditions as of the date of the financial statements. Because of the volatility of the financial markets, as well as other factors that affect management estimates, actual results may vary from these estimates.

Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the 2008 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentations. Such reclassifications have no impact on net income or capital.

Subsequent Events: The FHLBank has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the time of filing our second quarter 2009 Form 10-Q with the SEC on August 12, 2009.


NOTE 2 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD AND ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

Issuance of SFAS 165:166: In MayJune 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 165,166, Subsequent Events (herein referred to as “SFAS 165”), which is intended to establish principles and requirementsAccounting for subsequent events not addressed in other GAAP. SFAS 165 sets forth: (1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management shall evaluate events; (2) circumstances under which an entity shall recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date; and (3) the disclosures that an entity shall make about events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, including a disclosure as to the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and whether that represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for interim periods or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 (June 30, 2009 for the FHLBank). The FHLBank has determined that the adoptionTransfers of SFAS 165 will result in increased financial statement disclosures but will have no impact on the FHLBank’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Adoption of FSP FAS 157-2: In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (herein referred to as “FSP 157-2”). FSP 157-2 delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (herein referred to as “SFAS 157”), for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, excluding items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The requirements of SFAS 157 apply to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities addressed by this FSP for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years (January 1, 2009 for the FHLBank). The adoption of FSP 157-2 resulted in increased disclosures but had no impact on the FHLBank’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Adoption of SFAS 161: In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging ActivitiesFinancial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133140 (herein referred to as “SFAS 161”166”), which. This statement is intended to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reportingreports about derivative instrumentsa transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and hedging activitiescash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. This statement removes the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity which will cause securitizations that were exempt from FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - an interpretation of ARB No. 51, to be subject to that guidance. In addition, this statement clarifies: (1) that transfers of a portion of a financial asset can only get sales accounting if the portion held by requiring enhanced disclosuresthe transferor meets the criteria to enable investorsbe classified as a participating interest; (2) that an entity must consider all agreements made contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of a transfer of financial assets; (3) that a transferor must evaluate whether it or its agents effectively control the transferred financial asset directly or indirectly; (4) that a transferor must recognize and initially measure all assets obtained (including a transferor’s beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result of an entire financial asset or a group of financial assets accounted for as a sale; (5) that if a securitization of mortgage loans does not meet the conditions for sales accounting, the loans shall continue to be classified as loans; and (6) the legal isolation requirements to ensure that an entity considers all of its involvement in determining whether a financial asset has been put beyond the reach of the transferor and its creditors. Finally, this statement expands the disclosure requirements so financial statement users have: (1) a better understand their effectsunderstanding of a transferor’s continuing involvement; (2) the nature of any restrictions on assets reported by an entity’sentity in its statement of condition that relate to a transferred financial asset, including the carrying amounts of those assets; (3) how servicing assets and servicing liabilities are reported under this statement; and (4) for transfers accounted for as sales when a transferor has continuing involvement with the transferred financial assets and for the transfers of financial assets accounted for as secured borrowings, how the transfer of financial assets affects a transferor's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 was166 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periodsas of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 20082009 (January 1, 20092010 for the FHLBank), with earlyfor interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application allowed.is prohibited. The FHLBank adopted SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009. Thedoes not believe that the adoption of SFAS 161 resulted in increased financial statement disclosures but had no impact166 will have a material effect on the FHLBank’sits financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

AdoptionIssuance of FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4:SFAS 168: In September 2008,June 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 133-1SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 45-4, Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendmentthe Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161 (herein referred to as “FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4”). FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 amended SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – Deferral of Effective Date of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and as amended by SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments162 (herein referred to as “SFAS 133””SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) andas the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others – an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34 (herein referred to as “FIN 45”)be applied by nongovernmental entities. The Codification is not intended to improve disclosures about credit derivatives and guarantees and clarify the effective date of SFAS 161. FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 amended SFAS 133change current GAAP; rather, its intent is to require entitiesorganize all accounting literature by topic in one place in order to disclose sufficient information to allowenable users to assessquickly identify appropriate GAAP. SFAS 168 modifies the potential effectGAAP hierarchy to include only two levels of credit derivatives, includingGAAP: authoritative and nonauthoritative. For SEC registrants, SEC rules and interpretive releases will continue to be sources of authoritative GAAP. In addition, the FASB no longer will consider new standards as authoritative in their nature, maximum payment, fair value and recourse provisions. Additionally, FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 amended FIN 45own right. Instead, the new standards will serve only to require a disclosureprovide background information about the current status ofissue, update the payment/performance risk of a guarantee, which could be indicated by external credit ratingsCodification, and provide the basis for conclusions regarding changes in the Codification. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 (September 30, 2009 for the FHLBank). SFAS 168 is not intended to change or categories by which an FHLBank measures risk. Whilealter existing GAAP and accordingly, the FHLBank does not currently enter into credit derivatives, it does have guarantees, including FHLBank joint and several liability on consolidated obligations with the other 11 FHLBanks and letters of credit issued on behalf of our members. Theexpect adoption of FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 resulted in increased financialthis statement disclosures but did notto have anya material impact on the FHLBank’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows when implemented.although it will substantially change the way that GAAP is referenced in future financial statements and SEC filings.

Issuance of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No 2009-01: In June 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-01, Topic 105 - Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 - The provisionsFASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 that amend SFAS 133 and FIN 45 were effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after November 15, 2008 (December 31, 2008 forGenerally Accepted Accounting Principles, (herein referred to as “ASU 2009-01”). This update officially changes the FHLBank). Additionally, FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 clarifies that the disclosures requiredGAAP structure brought about by SFAS 161 should be provided for any reporting period (annual168 and creates Topic 105 in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). ASU 2009-01 is not intended to change or quarterly interim) beginning after November 15, 2008 (January 1, 2009 foralter existing GAAP and accordingly, the FHLBank).FHLBank does not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the FHLBank’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1: In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (herein referred to as “FSP FAS 107-1”). FSP FAS 107-1 amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (herein referred to as “SFAS 107”) and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require entities to disclose the fair value of all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107 in all interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 also requires disclosure of the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of those financial instruments. Previously, these disclosures were required only in annual financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 is effective and should be applied prospectively for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permissible for interim reporting periods ending after March 15, 2009 as long as both FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 and FSP FAS 157-4 are early adopted. In periods after initial adoption, FSP FAS 107-1 requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending subsequent to initial adoption. The FHLBank elected to early adopt FSP FAS 107-1 effective January 1, 2009. The adoption resulted in increased financial disclosures but did not have any impact on the FHLBank’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2: In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (herein referred to as “FSP FAS 115-2”). FSP FAS 115-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of OTTI on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP clarifies the interaction of the factors that should be considered when determining whether a debt security is other than temporarily impaired and changes the presentation and calculation of the OTTI on debt securities recognized in earnings in the financial statements. FSP FAS 115-2 does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to OTTI of equity securities. This FSP expands and increases the frequency of existing disclosures about OTTI for debt and equity securities and requires new disclosures to help users of financial statements understand the significant inputs used in determining a credit loss, as well as a roll-forward of that amount each period.

If the fair value of a debt security is less than its amortized cost basis, FSP FAS 115-2 requires an entity to assess whether: (1) it has the intent to sell the debt security; or (2) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, an OTTI must be recognized.

Instances in which a determination is made that a credit loss (defined by FSP FAS 115-2 as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis) exists but the entity does not intend to sell the debt security, nor is it more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the debt security before the anticipated recovery of its remaining amortized cost basis (i.e., the amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss), FSP FAS 115-2 changes the presentation and amount of the OTTI recognized in the income statement. In these instances, the OTTI is separated into: (a) the amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss; and (b) the amount of the total OTTI related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. Subsequent non-OTTI-related increases and decreases in the fair value of available-for-sale securities will be included in other comprehensive income. The OTTI recognized in other comprehensive income for debt securities classified as held-to-maturity will be amortized over the remaining life of the debt security as an increase in the carrying value of the security (with no effect on earnings unless the security is subsequently sold or there is additional OTTI credit loss recognized). The total OTTI is presented in the income statement with an offset for the amount of the total OTTI that is recognized in other comprehensive income. Previously, in all cases, if an impairment was determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment loss was recognized in earnings in an amount equal to the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value atas of the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment was made. The new presentation provides additional information about the amounts that the entity does not expect to collect related to a debt security.

FSP FAS 115-2 is effective and should be applied prospectively for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permissible for interim reporting periods ending after March 15, 2009 as long as FSP FAS 157-4 is also early adopted. When adopting FSP FAS 115-2, an entity is required to record a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the period of adoption to reclassify the non-credit component of a previously recognized OTTI from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income if the entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis.

11

The FHLBank elected to early adopt FSP FAS 115-2 effective January 1, 2009 and recognized the effects of applying FSP FAS 115-2 as a change in accounting principle. The FHLBank recognized a $3,349,000 cumulative-effect adjustment of initially applying FSP FAS 115-2 as an adjustment to retained earnings (increase or credit) at January 1, 2009 with a corresponding adjustment (decrease or debit) to accumulated other comprehensive income. Had the FHLBank not early adopted FSP FAS 115-2, the FHLBank would have had lower net income before assessments of $685,000 ($1,018,000 OTTI non-credit component recognized in OCI would have been a charge or decrease to net income before assessments and $333,000 of discount accretion for the non-credit component would have been accreted to interest income (increase) instead of to the carrying value of the securities) for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 also increased financial statement disclosures.

Adoption of FSP FAS 157-4: In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (herein referred to as “FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 amends SFAS 157 by providing additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and also provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The FSP allows quoted prices to be adjusted if it is concluded that a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, in relation to normal market activity, has occurred. It also provides management a framework from which to determine whether a transaction is orderly (or not orderly). The FSP also expands disclosures for interim and annual periods to include additional categories for securities within the scope of SFAS 115 (as amended by FSP FAS 115-2). FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permissible for interim reporting periods ending after March 15, 2009 as long as FSP FAS 115-2 is also early adopted. The FHLBank elected to early adopt FSP FAS 157-4 effective January 1, 2009. The adoption of this FSP resulted in increased financial disclosures but did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Adoption of SFAS 165: In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (herein referred to as “SFAS 165”), which is intended to establish principles and requirements for subsequent events not addressed in other GAAP. SFAS 165 sets forth: (1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management shall evaluate events; (2) circumstances under which an entity shall recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date; and (3) the disclosures that an entity shall make about events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, including a disclosure as to the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and whether that represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for interim periods or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 (June 30, 2009 for the FHLBank). The adoption of SFAS 165 resulted in increased financial statement disclosures but did not have an impact on the FHLBank’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Other-than-temporary Impairment: The FHLBank evaluates its individual held-to-maturity investment security holdings for OTTI on at least a quarterly, basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that these investments may be other-than-temporarily impaired. As part of this process, if the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost basis, the FHLBank considers its intent to sell the debt security and whether it is more likely than not that the FHLBank will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, the FHLBank recognizes an OTTI charge in earnings equal to the entire difference between the debt security’s amortized cost and its fair value atas of the balance sheet date. For securities that meet neither of these conditions and their fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, the FHLBank performs an analysis to determine if any of these securities are at risk for OTTI. To determine which individual securities are at risk for OTTI and should be quantitatively evaluated utilizing a detailed cash flow analysis, the FHLBank uses indicators, or “screens,” which consider various characteristics of each security including, but not limited to, the following: the(1) Nationally-Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO) credit rating and related outlook or status; (2) the creditworthiness of the issuers of the Agency debt securities; (3) the strength of the government-sponsored enterprises’ guarantees of the holdings of Agency MBS; (4) the underlying type of collateral; (5) the duration and level of the unrecognized loss; (6) any credit enhancements or insurance; and (7) certain other collateral-related characteristics such as FICO credit scores, delinquency rates and the security’s performance. The relative importance of this information varies based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each security, as well as the economic environment at the time of assessment.

As a result of this security-level review, the FHLBank identifies individual securities which are subjected to a detailed cash flow analysis using models to determine the cash flows that are likely to be collected. At-riskSecurities for which OTTI has been determined in a prior period and at-risk securities are evaluated by estimating projected cash flows that the FHLBank is likely to collect based upon a careful assessment of all available information about each individual security. This assessment is made considering the structure of the security including the level of credit support and the remaining payment terms of the security as well as making certain assumptions about the future performance of the security based upon such factors as prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, expected housing price changes and interest rate assumptions in order to determine whether the FHLBank will recover the entire amortized cost of the security. The loan level cash flows and losses were allocated to various security classes, including the security classes owned by the FHLBank, based on the cash flow and loss allocation rules of the individual security. In performing a detailed analysis of each at-risk security based upon these factors, the FHLBank identifies its best estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected. If this estimate results in a present value of expected cash flows that is less than the amortized cost basis of a security (that is, a credit loss exists), an OTTI is considered to have occurred. If there is no credit loss, any impairment is not other-than-temporary.
For private-label MBS, risk characteristics or screens used to select at risk securities for cash flow analysis include: (1) the duration and magnitude of the unrealized loss; (2) credit ratings below AAA by at least one NRSRO; and (3) criteria related to the credit performance of the underlying collateral, such as the ratio of (a) credit enhancement to expected collateral losses, and (b) seriously delinquent loans to credit enhancement. For these purposes, expected collateral losses are those that are implied by current delinquencies taking into account a default probability based on the state of delinquency and a loss severity assumption based on product and vintage; seriously delinquent loans are those that are 60 or more days past due, including loans in foreclosure, in bankruptcy and real estate owned. In generating the expected cash flows for each of these securities, the FHLBank of Dallas on behalf of the FHLBank used two third-party models. The first model considers borrower characteristics and the particular attributes of the loans underlying the FHLBank’s securities, in conjunction with assumptions about future changes in home prices and interest rates, to project prepayments, defaults and loss severities. A significant input to the first model is the forecast of future housing price changes for the relevant states and core based statistical areas (“CBSAs”), which are based upon an assessment of the individual housing markets. The term CBSA refers collectively to metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas as defined by the United States Office of Management and Budget; as currently defined, a CBSA must contain at least one urban area of 10,000 or more people. The FHLBank’s housing price forecast assumed current-to-trough home price declines ranging from 0 percent to 20 percent over the next 9 to 15 months (resulting in peak-to-trough home price declines of up to 51 percent). Thereafter, home prices are projected to increase one percent in the first year, three percent in the second year and four percent in each subsequent year. The month-by-month projections of future loan performance derived from the first model, which reflect projected prepayments, defaults and loss severities, are then input into a second model that allocates the projected loan level cash flows and losses to the various security classes in the securitization structure in accordance with its prescribed cash flow and loss allocation rules.

As a result of these security-level evaluations, the FHLBank determined that six private-label MBS were other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31,June 30, 2009 because the FHLBank determined that it was likely that it would not recover the entire amortized cost of these securities. These securities included the five private-label MBS that had previously been identified as other-than-temporarily impaired in 2008 and one private-label MBS that was first identified as other-than-temporarily impaired in the first quarter of 2009. For the newly identifiedNo new private-label MBS were identified as other-than-temporarily impaired in the FHLBank recognized an OTTI chargesecond quarter of $41,000 related to estimated credit losses on this security. This OTTI charge is reported on the Statements of Income as “Net other-than-temporary impairment losses on held-to-maturity securities” and an OTTI amount related to non-credit losses of $1,018,000, which is reported on the Statements of Income as “Portion of other-than-temporary impairment losses on held-to-maturity securities recognized in other comprehensive income.”2009. The OTTI amount related to non-credit losses represents the difference between the current fair value of the security and the FHLBank’s best estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected, which is calculated as described in the previous paragraph. The OTTI amount recognized in other comprehensive income is accreted to the carrying value of the security on a prospective basis over the remaining life of the security. That accretion increases the carrying value of the security and continues until the security is sold or matures, or there is an additional OTTI that is recognized in earnings. The FHLBank does not intend to sell any of these securities, nor is it more likely than not that the FHLBank will be required to sell these securities before its anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis of the six OTTI securities.

Although there has been some improvement in the fair value of the FHLBank’s held-to-maturity securities portfolio that has not been designated as other-than-temporarily impaired has experienced significant unrecognized losses andduring 2009, the fair value of a decrease in fair valuemajority of its portfolio remains below the amortized cost of the securities due to interest rate volatility, illiquidity in the marketplace and credit deterioration in the U.S. mortgage markets.markets since early 2008. However, the decline in fair value of these securities is considered temporary as the FHLBank expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis on the remaining held-to-maturity securities in unrecognized loss positions and neither intends to sell these securities nor it is more likely than not that the FHLBank will be required to sell these securities before its anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis.

In general, a borrower is charged a prepayment fee when an advance is repaid before its stated maturity. Prepayment fees are calculated using methods that make the FHLBank financially indifferent to the advance prepayments. The FHLBank’s advances outstanding include advances that contain call options that may be exercised with or without prepayment fees at the borrower’s discretion on specific dates (call dates) before the stated advance maturities (callable advances). The borrowers normally exercise their call options on these advances when interest rates decline (fixed rate advances) or spreads change (adjustable rate advances). The FHLBank’s advances as of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 include callable advances totaling $5,179,625,000$3,868,521,000 and $6,395,434,000, respectively. Of these callable advances, there were $5,163,055,000$3,832,455,000 and $6,324,845,000 of variable rate advances as of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

The FHLBank’s advances outstanding also include advances that contain conversion options that may be exercised at the FHLBank’s discretion on specific dates (conversion dates) before the stated advance maturities (convertible advances). With convertible advances, the FHLBank effectively purchases put options from the borrowers that allow the FHLBank to convert the fixed rate advances to variable rate advances. In exchange for the options, borrowers are charged interest rates that are below those for fixed rate advances with comparable maturities. The FHLBank normally exercises its conversion options on these advances when interest rates increase. The FHLBank’s advances as of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, included convertible advances totaling $5,558,922,000$5,309,722,000 and $5,759,422,000, respectively.

Mortgage loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the FHLBank will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage loan agreement. The FHLBank considers the mortgage loans to be collateral dependent, and thus measures impairment based on the fair value of the collateral. At March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the FHLBank had no recorded investments in impaired mortgage loans.

The credit enhancement is an obligation on the part of the participating member that ensures the retention of credit risk on loans it originates on behalf of or sells to the FHLBank. The FHLBank pays the participating member a credit enhancement fee for managing this portion of the credit risk in the pool of loans. These fees are paid monthly based upon the remaining unpaid principal balance for the pool of loans. Credit enhancement fees paid by the FHLBank to participating members for assuming the credit enhancement obligation are netted against interest income when paid. During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, credit enhancement fees paid by the FHLBank to participating members totaled $703,000 and $609,000, respectively. Credit enhancement fees paid by the FHLBank to participating members totaled $474,000$1,177,000 and $586,000$1,195,000 for the three-monthsix-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.


NOTE 7 DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Nature of Business Activity: The FHLBank enters into various types of derivatives to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates.

The FHLBank may utilize derivatives to adjust the effective maturity, re-pricing frequency or option characteristics of financial instruments to achieve risk management objectives. The FHLBank uses derivatives in three ways: (1) by designating them as either a fair value or cash flow hedge of an underlying financial instrument or a forecasted transaction; (2) by acting as an intermediary; or (3) in asset/liability management (i.e., an economic hedge). For example, the FHLBank uses derivatives in its overall interest rate risk management to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of consolidated obligations to approximate more closely the interest rate sensitivity of assets (advances, investments and/or mortgage loans), and/or to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of advances, investments or mortgage loans to approximate more closely the interest rate sensitivity of liabilities.

19

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated and qualifies as a fair value hedge, along with changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk, or benchmark rate (including changes that reflect losses or gains on firm commitments), are recorded in other income (loss) as “Net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities.” Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, to the extent that the hedge is effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income, a component of capital, until earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged transaction (i.e., until the recognition of interest on a variable rate asset or liability is recorded in earnings). For both fair value and cash flow hedges, any hedge ineffectiveness (which represents the amount by which the change in the fair value of the derivative differs from the change in fair value of the hedged item or the variability in the cash flows of the forecasted transaction) is recorded in current-period earnings. The differentials between accruals of interest receivables and payables on derivatives designated as fair value or cash flow hedges are recognized as an adjustment to the interest income or expense of the designated underlying investment securities, advances, consolidated obligations or other financial instruments.

Consistent with Finance Agency regulation, the FHLBank enters into derivatives only to reduce the interest rate risk exposures inherent in otherwise unhedged assets and funding positions to achieve risk management objectives and to act as an intermediary between its members and counterparties. Derivatives are used when they represent the most cost-effective alternative to achieve the FHLBank’s financial and risk management objectives. Accordingly, the FHLBank may enter into derivatives that do not necessarily qualify for hedge accounting (economic hedges as discussed above).

An economic hedge is defined as a derivative hedging specific or non-specific underlying assets, liabilities or firm commitments that does not qualify for hedge accounting but is an acceptable hedging strategy under the FHLBank’s Risk Management Policy (RMP). These economic hedging strategies also comply with Finance Agency regulatory requirements prohibiting speculative hedge transactions. An economic hedge by definition introduces the potential for earnings variability caused by changes in fair value on the derivative that are recorded in the FHLBank’s income but not offset by corresponding changes in the fair value of the economically hedged asset, liability or firm commitment being recorded simultaneously in income. As a result, the FHLBank recognizes only the change in fair value of these derivatives in other income (loss) as “Net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities” with no offsetting fair value adjustments for the asset, liability or firm commitment. The differentials between accruals of interest receivables and payables on intermediated derivatives for members and other economic hedges are recognized as other income (loss). Therefore, both the net interest on the stand-alone derivative and the fair value changes are recorded in other income (loss) as “Net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities.” Cash flows associated with stand-alone derivatives are reflected as cash flows from operating activities in the Statements of Cash Flows.

19

The most common ways in which the FHLBank uses derivatives are to:
§Reduce the interest rate sensitivity and repricing gaps of assets and liabilities;
§Reduce funding costs by combining an interest rate swap with a consolidated obligation, as the cost of a combined funding structure can be lower than the cost of a comparable consolidated obligation;
§Preserve a favorable interest rate spread between the yield of an asset (e.g., an advance) and the cost of the related liability (e.g., the consolidated obligation used to fund the advance). Without the use of derivatives, this interest rate spread could be reduced or eliminated when a change in the interest rate on the advance does not match a change in the interest rate on the consolidated obligation;
§Mitigate the adverse earnings effects of the shortening or extension of certain assets (e.g., advances or mortgage assets) and liabilities; and
§Manage embedded options in assets and liabilities.

Types of Derivatives: The FHLBank’s RMP establishes guidelines for its use of derivatives. The FHLBank commonly enters into interest rate swaps (including callable and putable swaps), swaptions, and interest rate cap and floor agreements (collectively, derivatives) to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates.

Interest Rate Swaps – An interest rate swap is an agreement between two entities to exchange cash flows in the future. The agreement sets the dates on which the cash flows will be paid and the manner in which the cash flows will be calculated. One of the simplest forms of an interest rate swap involves the promise by one party to pay cash flows equivalent to the interest on a notional principal amount at a predetermined fixed rate for a given period of time. In return for this promise, this party receives cash flows equivalent to the interest on the same notional principal amount at a variable interest rate index for the same period of time. The variable interest rate received by the FHLBank in most derivative agreements is the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). Interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value and reported in derivative assets or derivative liabilities on the Statements of Condition.

Swaptions – A swaption is an option on a swap that gives the buyer the right to enter into a specified interest rate swap at a certain time in the future. When used as a hedge, a swaption can protect the FHLBank against future interest rate changes. The FHLBank purchases both payer swaptions and receiver swaptions to decrease its interest rate risk exposure related to the prepayment of certain assets. A payer swaption is the option to make fixed interest payments at a later date and a receiver swaption is the option to receive fixed interest payments at a later date. Premiums paid to acquire swaptions are accounted for at the fair value of the derivative at inception of the hedge and are reported in derivative assets or derivative liabilities on the Statements of Condition. Premiums paid are considered the fair value of the swaption at inception of the hedge.

Interest Rate Caps and Floors – In an interest rate cap agreement, a cash flow is generated if the price or interest rate of an underlying variable rises above a certain threshold (or “cap”) price. In an interest rate floor agreement, a cash flow is generated if the price or interest rate of an underlying variable falls below a certain threshold (or “floor”) price. The FHLBank uses interest rate caps and floors to hedge option risk on the MBS held in the FHLBank’s held-to-maturity portfolio and to hedge embedded caps or floors in the FHLBank’s advances. Premiums paid to acquire caps or floors are accounted for at the fair value of the derivative at inception of the hedge and are reported in derivative assets or derivative liabilities on the Statements of Condition. Premiums paid are considered the fair value of the cap or floor at inception of the hedge.

20

Hedging Activities: The FHLBank documents all hedging relationships between derivatives designated as hedging instruments and hedged items, its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions, and its method of assessing effectiveness. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges to: (1) assets and/or liabilities on the Statements of Condition; (2) firm commitments; or (3) forecasted transactions. The FHLBank formally assesses (both at the hedge’s inception and at least quarterly on an ongoing basis) whether the derivatives that are used have been effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain effective in future periods. The FHLBank typically uses regression analyses or similar statistical analyses to assess the effectiveness of its hedging relationships.

The FHLBank discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when: (1) it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item (including hedged items such as firm commitments or forecasted transactions); (2) the derivative and/or the hedged item expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; (3) it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur in the originally expected period; (4) a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or (5) management determines that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument in accordance with SFAS 133 is no longer appropriate.
 
Effectiveness Measurements: Highly effective hedges that use interest rate swaps as the hedging instrument and that meet certain stringent criteria can qualify for “shortcut” fair value hedge accounting. Shortcut hedge accounting allows for the assumption of no ineffectiveness, which means that the change in fair value of the hedged item can be assumed to be equal to the change in fair value of the derivative. This is in contrast to fair value hedges designated under the “long haul” hedge accounting method, where the change in fair value of the hedged item must be measured separately from the derivative, and for which effectiveness testing must be performed regularly with results falling within established tolerances.

Long haul hedge accounting method – For hedge transactions that are not designated under the shortcut hedge accounting method, the FHLBank completes effectiveness testing at inception and on a monthly basis thereafter. The rolling regression method and the dollar offset method are used by the FHLBank to assess hedge effectiveness.
§Under the rolling regression method, the FHLBank models a series of 30 data points (market values) for the hedged item and the hedge instrument, using market data from the previous 30 calendar month-ends. A regression analysis is performed comparing the values of the hedged financial item and the hedge instrument. The hedge is deemed highly effective if: (1) the slope of the regression line is between or equal to -0.80 and -1.20, meaning that on average the change in value of the hedged financial instrument is offset by the change in value of the hedge instrument; (2) the correlation is 0.80 or higher; and (3) the calculated F statistic is 4 or higher. For new hedge transactions, the 30 data points (market values) are generated using historical market data.
20

§
The dollar-offset method measures the change in fair value between periods on the hedge instrument versus the change in the fair value between periods on the hedged item. Under this methodology, at inception, the FHLBank evaluates effectiveness of the hedging relationship using interest rate scenario stress testing (interest rate shock scenarios). Thereafter on a monthly basis, the FHLBank compares the change in cumulative fair value of the hedging instrument to the change in cumulative fair value of the hedged item. The amount of dollar-offset between the two items must fall into a range of between 80 percent and 120 percent in order for the hedge to be deemed highly effective.
 
Types of Assets and Liabilities Hedged:
Consolidated ObligationsWhile consolidated obligations are the joint and several obligations of the 12 FHLBanks, each FHLBank is individually a counterparty to derivatives associated with specific debt issues. For instance, in a typical transaction involving more than one FHLBank, fixed rate consolidated obligation bonds are issued for one or more FHLBanks, including FHLBank Topeka. In connection with its share of the bond issuance, FHLBank Topeka simultaneously enters into a matching derivative in which the counterparty pays fixed cash flows to FHLBank Topeka designed to mirror in timing and amount the cash outflows FHLBank Topeka pays on the consolidated obligation. Such transactions are designated as fair value hedges under SFAS 133. In this type of transaction, FHLBank Topeka typically pays the derivative counterparty a variable cash flow that closely matches the interest payments it receives on short-term or variable rate advances. Note, though, that most of the FHLBank’s swapped consolidated obligation bonds are fixed rate, callable bonds where the FHLBank is the sole issuer of the particular debt issue. The swap transaction with a counterparty for debt upon which the FHLBank is the sole issuer follows the same process reflected above (simultaneous, matching terms, etc.). This intermediation between the capital and derivatives markets permits the FHLBank to raise funds at costs lower than would otherwise be available through the issuance of simple fixed or variable rate consolidated obligations in the capital markets.

Advances With the issuance of a convertible advance, the FHLBank purchases from the member an option that enables the FHLBank to convert an advance from fixed rate to variable rate if interest rates increase. Once the FHLBank exercises its option to convert an advance to an at-the-market variable rate, the member then owns the option to terminate the converted advance without fee or penalty on the conversion date and each interest rate reset date thereafter. The FHLBank hedges a convertible advance by entering into a cancelable derivative with a non-member counterparty where the FHLBank pays a fixed rate and receives a variable rate. The derivative counterparty may cancel the derivative on a put date. This type of hedge is designated as a fair value hedge under SFAS 133. The counterparty’s decision to cancel the derivative would normally occur in a rising rate environment. If the option is in-the-money, the derivative is cancelled by the derivative counterparty at par (i.e., without any premium or other payment to the FHLBank). When the derivative is cancelled, the FHLBank exercises its option to convert the advance to a variable rate. If a convertible advance is not prepaid by the member upon conversion to an at-the-market variable rate advance (i.e., callable variable rate advance), any hedge-related unamortized basis adjustment is amortized as a yield adjustment.

21

When fixed rate advances are issued to one or more borrowers, the FHLBank can either fund the advances with fixed rate consolidated obligations with the same tenor or simultaneously enter into a matching derivative in which the counterparty receives fixed cash flows from the FHLBank designed to mirror in timing and amount the cash inflows the FHLBank receives on the advance. Such transactions are designated as fair value hedges under SFAS 133. In this type of transaction, the FHLBank typically receives from the derivative counterparty a variable cash flow that closely matches the interest payments on short-term discount notes or swapped consolidated obligation bonds.

The optionality embedded in certain financial instruments held by the FHLBank can create interest rate risk. For example, when a member prepays an advance, the FHLBank could suffer lower future income if the principal portion of the prepaid advance were invested in lower-yielding assets that continue to be funded by higher-cost debt. To protect against this risk, the FHLBank generally charges a prepayment fee on an advance that makes it financially indifferent to a member’s decision to prepay the advance. When the FHLBank offers advances (other than short-term advances) that a member may prepay without a prepayment fee, it usually finances such advances with callable debt or otherwise hedges the option being sold to the member.
 
Mortgage LoansThe FHLBank invests in fixed rate mortgage loans through the MPF Program. The prepayment options embedded in mortgage loans can result in extensions or contractions in the expected lives of these investments, depending on changes in estimated future cash flows, which usually occur as a result of interest rate changes. The FHLBank may manage the interest rate and prepayment risk associated with mortgages through a combination of debt issuance and derivatives. The FHLBank issues both callable and non-callable debt to achieve cash flow patterns and liability durations similar to those expected on the mortgage loans. The FHLBank may use derivatives in conjunction with debt issuance to better match the expected prepayment characteristics of its mortgage loan portfolio.

Interest rate caps and floors, swaptions and callable swaps may also be used to hedge prepayment risk on the mortgage loans. Although these derivatives are valid economic hedges against the prepayment risk of the portfolio of mortgage loans, they are not specifically linked to individual loans and, therefore, do not receive either fair value or cash flow hedge accounting. The derivatives are marked-to-market through earnings.

Firm Commitment StrategiesCommitments that obligate the FHLBank to purchase closed fixed rate mortgage loans from its members are considered derivatives under SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (herein referred to as “SFAS 149”). Accordingly, each mortgage purchase commitment is recorded as a derivative asset or derivative liability at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in current period earnings. When a mortgage purchase commitment derivative settles, the current market value of the commitment is included with the basis of the mortgage loan and amortized accordingly.

The FHLBank may also hedge a firm commitment for a forward starting advance or consolidated obligation bond through the use of an interest rate swap. In this case, the swap functions as the hedging instrument for both the hedging relationship involving the firm commitment and the subsequent hedging relationship involving the advance or bond. The basis movement associated with the firm commitment is rolled into the basis of the advance or bond at the time the commitment is terminated and the advance or bond is issued. The basis adjustment is then amortized into interest income or expense over the life of the advance or bond.

21

Investments – The FHLBank invests in U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Agency securities, GSE securities, MBS and the taxable portion of state or local housing finance agency securities. The interest rate and prepayment risk associated with these investment securities is managed through a combination of debt issuance and derivatives. The FHLBank may manage against prepayment and duration risks by funding investment securities with consolidated obligations that have call features. The FHLBank may also manage the risk arising from changing market prices and volatility of investment securities by entering into derivatives (economic hedges) that offset the changes in fair value or cash flows of the securities. The FHLBank’s derivatives currently associated with investment securities are designated as economic hedges with the changes in fair values of the derivatives being recorded as “Net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities” in other income (loss) on the Statements of Income. The hedged investment securities are classified as “trading” with the changes in fair values recorded as “Net gain (loss) on trading securities” in other income (loss) on the Statements of Income.
 
Interest rate caps and floors, swaptions and callable swaps may also be used to hedge prepayment and option risk on the MBS held in the FHLBank’s trading and held-to-maturity portfolios. Most of these derivatives are purchased interest rate caps that hedge interest rate caps embedded in the FHLBank’s trading and held-to-maturity variable rate Agency MBS. Although these derivatives are valid economic hedges against the prepayment and option risk of the portfolio of MBS, they are not specifically linked to individual investment securities and, therefore, do not receive either fair value or cash flow hedge accounting. The derivatives are marked-to-market through earnings.

Anticipated Debt IssuanceThe FHLBank enters into interest rate swaps for the anticipated issuance of fixed rate consolidated obligation bonds to hedge the variability in forecasted interest payments associated with fixed rate debt that has not yet been issued. The interest rate swap is terminated upon issuance of the fixed rate bond, with the realized gain or loss on the interest rate swap recorded in other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognized as earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the cash flows of the fixed rate bonds.

Managing Credit Risk on Derivatives: The FHLBank is subject to credit risk due to nonperformance by counterparties to the derivative agreements. The degree of counterparty risk on derivative agreements depends on the extent to which master netting arrangements are included in such contracts to mitigate the risk. The FHLBank manages counterparty credit risk through credit analyses and collateral requirements and by following the requirements set forth in its Risk Management Policy. Based on credit analyses and collateral requirements, FHLBank management does not anticipate any credit losses on its derivative agreements and therefore, there is no adjustment to the derivatives for nonperformance risk at March 31,June 30, 2009.

22

The contractual or notional amount of derivatives reflects the involvement of the FHLBank in the various classes of financial instruments. The notional amount of derivatives does not measure the credit risk exposure of the FHLBank, and the maximum credit exposure of the FHLBank is substantially less than the notional amount. The maximum credit risk is the estimated cost of replacing favorable derivatives if the counterparty defaults, and the related collateral, if any, is of less value to the FHLBank.
 
At March 31,As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the FHLBank’s maximum credit risk, as defined above, was approximately $111,900,000$125,958,000 and $112,688,000, respectively. These totals include $46,252,000$25,226,000 and $25,704,000,$25,705,000, respectively, of net accrued interest receivable. In determining its maximum credit risk, the FHLBank considers accrued interest receivables and payables and the legal right to offset derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty. The FHLBank held cash with a fair value of $104,400,000$94,975,000 and $78,162,000 as collateral as of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Additionally, collateral with respect to derivatives with member institutions includes collateral assigned to the FHLBank, as evidenced by a written security agreement and held by the member institution for the benefit of the FHLBank. The maximum credit risk reflected above applicable to a single counterparty was $39,469,000$44,157,000 and $44,112,000 as of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Certain of the FHLBank’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require the FHLBank to post additional collateral with its counterparties if there is deterioration in the FHLBank’s credit rating. If the FHLBank’s credit rating is lowered by a major credit rating agency, the FHLBank would be required to deliver additional collateral on derivative instruments in which the FHLBank has a net derivative liability recorded on it Statements of Condition. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with derivative counterparties containing credit-risk-related contingent features that were classified as net derivative liabilities as of March 31,June 30, 2009 was $547,807,000$350,684,000 for which the FHLBank has posted collateral with a fair value of $179,630,000$84,162,000 in the normal course of business. If the FHLBank’s credit rating had been lowered one level (e.g., from AAA to AA), the FHLBank would have been required to deliver an additional $251,045,000$163,680,000 of collateral to its derivative counterparties at March 31,June 30, 2009. However,During July 2009, one counterparty novated all derivatives instruments that we held to another counterparty. For purposes of providing this disclosure, the FHLBank consolidated the counterparties. The FHLBank’s credit rating has not changed in the previous twelve months.
 
The FHLBank transacts a significant portion of its derivatives with major banks and primary broker/dealers. Some of these banks and broker/dealers or their affiliates buy, sell and distribute consolidated obligations. No single entity dominates the FHLBank’s derivatives business. Assets pledged as collateral by the FHLBank to these counterparties are discussed more fully in Note 14. The FHLBank is not a derivatives dealer and thus does not trade derivatives for short-term profit.
 
23

Intermediary Derivatives – To assist its members in meeting their hedging needs, the FHLBank acts as an intermediary between the members and other counterparties by entering into offsetting derivatives. This intermediation allows smaller members access to the derivatives market. The derivatives used in intermediary activities do not qualify for SFAS 133 hedge accounting treatment and are separately marked-to-market through earnings. The net result of the accounting for these derivatives does not significantly affect the operating results of the FHLBank. Gains and losses are recorded in other income (loss) and presented as “Net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities.”

As of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the notional principal of derivative agreements in which the FHLBank is an intermediary was $246,594,000$288,000,000 and $218,587,000, respectively.

Financial Statement Impact and Additional Financial Information: The notional amount of derivatives reflects the volume of the FHLBank’s hedges, but it does not measure the credit exposure of the FHLBank because there is no principal at risk. The notional amount in derivative contracts serves as a factor in determining periodic interest payments or cash flows received and paid.

The following tables provide information regarding gains and losses on derivatives and hedging activities by type of hedge and type of derivative, gains and losses by hedged item for fair value hedges, and the notional and estimated fair values by type of hedge and type of derivative.

For the three-monththree- and six-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008, the FHLBank recorded net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities as follows (in thousands):

In accordance with SFAS 133, the FHLBank carries derivative instruments at fair value on theits Statements of Condition. Any change in the fair value of derivatives designated under a fair value hedging relationship is recorded each period in current period earnings. Fair value hedge accounting allows for the offsetting fair value of the hedged risk in the hedged item to also be recorded in current period earnings. For the three-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008, the FHLBank recorded net gain (loss) on derivatives and the related hedged items in fair value hedging relationships and the impact of those derivatives on the FHLBank’s net interest income as follows (in thousands):

Table of Contents
There were no amounts for the three-monththree- and six-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008 that were reclassified into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges because it became probable that the original forecasted transactions would not occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within a two-month period thereafter. As of March 31,June 30, 2009, no amounts relating to hedging activities remain in accumulated other comprehensive income.

The FHLBank considers accrued interest receivables and payables and the legal right to offset derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty under FIN No. 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 10 and FASB Statement No. 105 (herein referred to as FIN 39). Due to the application of FSP No. FIN 39-1, Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39 (herein referred to as “FSP FIN 39-1”), derivative assets and liabilities reported on the Statements of Condition include the net cash collateral and accrued interest from counterparties. Therefore, an individual derivative may be in an asset position [counterparty would owe the FHLBank the current fair value (fair value includes net accrued interest receivable or payable on the derivative) if the derivative was settled as of the Statement of Condition date] but when the derivative fair value and cash collateral fair value (includes accrued interest on the collateral) are netted under FIN 39 by counterparty, the derivative may be recorded on the Statements of Condition as a derivative liability. Conversely, a derivative may be in a liability position (FHLBank would owe the counterparty the fair value if settled as of the Statements of Condition date) but may be recorded on the Statements of Condition as a derivative asset after netting. The following table represents outstanding notional balances and estimated fair values (includes net accrued interest receivable or payable on the derivatives) of the derivatives outstanding by type of derivative and by hedge designation at March 31, 2009 (in thousands):

The FHLBank held cash with a fair value of $104,400,000 as collateral as of March 31, 2009. Derivative fair values are netted by counterparty where such legal right exists and offset against fair value amounts recognized for the obligation to return cash collateral held or the right to reclaim cash collateral pledged to the particular counterparty. If these netted amounts are positive, they are classified as a derivative asset and, if negative, a derivative liability.Exposure can change on a daily basis; and thus, there is often a short lag time between the date the exposure is identified, collateral is requested and when the collateral is actually received. Likewise, there is a lag time for excess collateral to be returned. Excess collateral held by the FHLBank at March 31, 2009 resulted in positive exposure (fair value plus net accrued interest) with two counterparties being recorded as derivative liabilities.

NOTE 8 CONSOLIDATED OBLIGATIONS

Consolidated obligations consist of consolidated bonds and discount notes and as provided by the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932 (Bank Act) or Finance Agency regulation, are backed only by the financial resources of the FHLBanks. The FHLBanks jointly issue consolidated obligations with the Office of Finance acting as their agent. The Office of Finance tracks the amounts of debt issued on behalf of each FHLBank. In addition, the FHLBank separately tracks and records as a liability its specific portion of consolidated obligations for which it is the primary obligor. Prior to 2009, each FHLBank specified the amount of debt it wanted the Office of Finance to issue on its behalf. During December 2008, a debt issuance process was implemented by the FHLBanks and the Office of Finance to provide a scheduled monthly issuance of global bullet consolidated obligation bonds during 2009. As part of this process, management from each of the FHLBanks determines and communicates a firm commitment to the Office of Finance for an amount of scheduled global debt to be issued on its behalf. If the FHLBanks’ orders do not meet the minimum debt issue size, the proceeds are allocated to all FHLBanks based on the larger of the FHLBank’s commitment or allocated proceeds based on the individual FHLBank’s regulatory capital to total system capital.regulatory capital (regulatory capital excludes OCI and includes mandatorily redeemable capital stock). If the FHLBanks’ commitments exceed the minimum debt issue size, the proceeds are allocated based on relative regulatory capital of the FHLBanks with the allocation limited to the lesser of the allocation amount or actual commitment amount. The Finance Agency and the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury have oversight over the issuance of FHLBank debt through the Office of Finance. The FHLBanks can, however, pass on any scheduled calendar slot and not issue any global bullet consolidated obligation bonds upon agreement of 8 of the 12 FHLBanks. Consolidated obligation bonds are issued primarily to raise intermediate- and long-term funds for the FHLBanks and are not subject to any statutory or regulatory limits as to maturities. Consolidated obligation discount notes, which are issued to raise short-term funds, are issued at less than their face amounts and redeemed at par when they mature.

The FHLBank’s participation in consolidated obligation bonds outstanding as of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 includes callable bonds totaling $6,134,500,000$5,627,000,000 and $9,850,000,000, respectively. The FHLBank uses the unswapped callable bonds for financing its callable advances (Note 5), mortgage-backed securities (Notes 3 and 4) and MPF mortgage loans (Note 6). Contemporaneous with a majority of its fixed rate callable bond issues, the FHLBank will also enter into interest rate swap agreements (in which the FHLBank generally pays a variable rate and receives a fixed rate) with call features that mirror the options in the callable bonds (a sold callable swap). The combined sold callable swap and callable debt transaction allows the FHLBank to obtain attractively priced variable rate financing.

The following table summarizes the FHLBank’s participation in consolidated obligation bonds outstanding by year of maturity, or by the next call date for callable bonds as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

NOTE 9 – AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAM (AHP)

The Bank Act, as amended by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, requires each FHLBank to establish an AHP. As a part of its AHP, the FHLBank provides subsidies in the form of direct grants or below-market interest rate advances to members that use the funds to assist in the purchase, construction or rehabilitation of housing for very low-, low- and moderate-income households. To fund the AHP, the 12 district FHLBanks as a group must annually set aside the greater of $100,000,000 or 10 percent of the current year’s regulatory income. The AHP and REFCORP assessments are calculated simultaneously because of their interdependence on each other. The FHLBank accrues this expense monthly based on its income. Calculation of the REFCORP assessment is discussed in Note 10.

The following table details the change in the AHP liability for the three-monththree- and six-month periods ended March 31,ending June 30, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

1Recaptured funds are direct grants returned to the FHLBank in those instances where the commitments associated with the approved use of funds are not met and repayment to the FHLBank is required by regulation. Recaptured funds are returned as a result of: (1) AHP-assisted homeowner’s transfer or sale of property within the five-year retention period that the assisted homeowner is required to occupy the property; (2) homeowner’s failure to acquire sufficient loan funding (funds previously approved and disbursed cannot be used); or (3) unused grants. Recaptured funds are reallocated to future periods.


NOTE 10 – RESOLUTION FUNDING CORPORATION (REFCORP)

Each FHLBank is required to pay 20 percent of income calculated in accordance with GAAP after the assessment for AHP, but before the assessment for REFCORP. The AHP and REFCORP assessments are calculated simultaneously because of their interdependence on each other. The FHLBank accrues its REFCORP assessment on a monthly basis. Calculation of the AHP assessment is discussed in Note 9. The Resolution Funding Corporation has been designated as the calculation agent for AHP and REFCORP assessments. Each FHLBank provides its interest expense related to mandatorily redeemable capital stock and net income before AHP and REFCORP to the Resolution Funding Corporation, which then performs the calculations for each quarter end and levies the assessments to the FHLBanks for the quarter.

27

The FHLBanks will continue to expense these amounts until the aggregate amounts actually paid by all 12 FHLBanks are equivalent to a $300,000,000 annual annuity (or a scheduled payment of $75,000,000 per quarter) whose final maturity date is April 15, 2030, at which point the required payment of each FHLBank to REFCORP will be fully satisfied. The Finance Agency in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury selects the appropriate discounting factors to be used in this annuity calculation. The FHLBanks use the actual payments made to determine the amount of the future obligation that has been defeased. The cumulative amount to be paid to REFCORP by FHLBank Topeka cannot be determined at this time because of the interrelationships of all future FHLBanks’ earnings and interest rates. If the FHLBank experienced a net loss during a quarter, but still had net income for the year, the FHLBank’s obligation to REFCORP would be calculated based on the FHLBank’s year-to-date net income. The FHLBank would be entitled to a credit against future REFCORP assessments, without any time constraints, if amounts paid for the full year were in excess of its calculated annual obligation that would be recorded in other assets on the FHLBank’s Statements of Condition. If the FHLBank had net income in subsequent quarters, it would be required to contribute additional amounts to meet its calculated annual obligation. If the FHLBank experienced a net loss for a full year, the FHLBank would have no obligation to REFCORP for the year.

NOTE 13 – ESTIMATED FAIR VALUES

The FHLBank adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 defined fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances.

The FHLBank records trading securities, derivative assets and derivative liabilities at fair value. Fair value is a market-based measurement and is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability is a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date, considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. In general, the transaction price will equal the exit price and, therefore, represents the fair value of the asset or liability at initial recognition. In determining whether a transaction price represents the fair value of the asset or liability at initial recognition, each reporting entity is required to consider factors specific to the asset or liability, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, and market participants with whom the entity would transact in that market.

Fair Value Hierarchy. SFAS 157, which was adopted by the FHLBank on January 1, 2008, established a fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The inputs are evaluated and an overall level for the fair value measurement is determined. This overall level is an indication of the market observability of the fair value measurement. SFAS 157 clarifies fair value in terms of the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset or liability at the measurement date (an exit price). In order to determine the fair value or the exit price, entities must determine the unit of account, highest and best use, principal market and market participants. These determinations allow the reporting entity to define the inputs for fair value and level of hierarchy.

Outlined below is the application of the fair value hierarchy established by SFAS 157 to the FHLBank’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value.
§Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which the transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
§Level 2 – inputs to the value methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. The types of assets and liabilities carried at Level 2 fair value generally include investment securities and derivative contracts.
§Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. A significant portion of the unobservable inputs are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the entity’s own assumptions. The types of assets and liabilities carried at Level 3 fair value generally include private-label MBS.MBS that the FHLBank has determined to be OTTI.

The FHLBank utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Fair value is first determined based on quoted market prices or market-based prices, where available. If quoted market prices or market-based prices are not available, fair value is determined based on valuation models that use market-based information available to the FHLBank as inputs to the models.

For instruments carried at fair value, the FHLBank reviews the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the valuation attributes may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications, if any, are reported as transfers in/out of Level 3 at fair value in the quarter in which the changes occur. The FHLBank had no financial assets or liabilities measured on a recurring basis at Level 3 fair value at March 31,as of June 30, 2009.

Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis. The FHLBank measures certain held-to-maturity securities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These held-to-maturity securities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (i.e., when there is evidence of other-than-temporary impairment).

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 115, as amended by FSP FAS 115-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, and FSP FAS 115-2, the FHLBank recognized an OTTI charge of $41,000$18,000 and $59,000 related to estimated credit losses and an OTTI amount related to non-credit losses of $1,018,000 during the three-month periodthree- and six-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2009, respectively, as further described in Note 4.

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 115, as amended by FSP No. 115-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, the FHLBank recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge as of December 31, 2008.

There were no investments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31,June 30, 2008. Consequently, no fair value adjustments of a nonrecurring nature were included in the Statements of Income for the three-monththree- and six-month period ended March 31,June 30, 2008.

Estimated Fair Values. The following estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the FHLBank using available market information and the FHLBank’s best judgment of appropriate valuation methodologies. These estimates are based on pertinent information available to the FHLBank as of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Although the FHLBank uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique or valuation methodology. For example, because an active secondary market does not exist for a portion of the FHLBank’s financial instruments, fair values in certain cases are not subject to precise quantification or verification and may change as economic and market factors and evaluation of those factors change. Therefore, these estimated fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in current market transactions, although they do reflect the FHLBank’s judgment of how a market participant would estimate the fair values. The Fair Value Summary Tables do not represent an estimate of the overall market value of the FHLBank as a going concern, which would take into account future business opportunities and the net profitability of assets versus liabilities.

Subjectivity of Estimates. Estimates of the fair value of advances with options, mortgage instruments, derivatives with embedded options and consolidated obligation bonds with options using the methods described below and other methods are highly subjective and require judgments regarding significant matters such as the amount and timing of future cash flows, prepayment speed assumptions, expected interest rate volatility, methods to determine possible distributions of future interest rates used to value options, and the selection of discount rates that appropriately reflect market and credit risks. Changes in these judgments often have a material effect on the fair value estimates. Since these estimates are made as of a specific point in time, they are susceptible to material near term changes.

31

Cash and Due From Banks: The estimated fair values approximate the recorded book balances.

Interest-bearing Deposits: The balance is comprised of interest-bearing deposits in banks. Based on the nature of the accounts, the recorded book value approximates the fair value.

Federal Funds Sold: The book value of overnight Federal funds approximates fair value, and term Federal funds are valued using projected future cash flows discounted at the current replacement rate.

32

Investment Securities: The estimated fair values of investments are determined based on quoted prices, excluding accrued interest, as of the last business day of each year.period. Certain investments for which quoted prices are not readily available are valued by third parties or by using internal pricing models using the assumptions in the following table:

Investment TypeMethod of Valuation
Certificates of depositEstimated cash flows discounted at the certificate of deposit market replacement rate based on tenor.
Commercial paperEstimated cash flows discounted at the commercial paper market replacement rate based on tenor.
FHLBank obligationsFair value is derived from market trades or quotes for similar securities or estimated cash flows incorporating estimates of future interest rate volatility, if applicable, and discounted using the estimated replacement rate based upon tenor for issuing debt for the FHLBank System.
Fannie Mae obligations and Freddie Mac obligationsFair value is derived from market trades or quotes for similar securities or estimated cash flows incorporating estimates of future interest rate volatility, if applicable, and discounted using the estimated replacement rate based upon tenor for issuing debt for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
State or local housing agenciesFair value is derived from market trades or quotes for similar securities.
Mortgage-backed securitiesFair value is derived from market trades or quotes for similar securities or estimated cash flows incorporating actual specific collateral performance, estimates of future specific collateral performance, estimates of future interest rate volatility, and issuer credit indications, if applicable, and discounted using the adjusted benchmark tranche yield.

Advances: The estimated fair values of advances are determined by calculating the present values of the expected future cash flows from the advances. The calculated present values are reduced by the accrued interest receivable. The discount rate used in the variable rate advance calculations was current LIBOR. The discount rates used in the fixed rate advance calculations were the replacement advance rates with no distinction for volume discounts.

Advance TypeMethod of Valuation
Fixed rate non-callable and fixed rate callable advancesValued using discounted cash flows incorporating estimates of future interest rate volatility, if applicable, and discounted using advance replacement rates with no distinction for volume discounts.
Fixed rate convertible and step-up advancesValued using discounted cash flows incorporating estimates of future interest rate volatility and discounted using LIBOR adjusted for spread to LIBOR on advance replacement rates with no distinction for volume discounts.
All other advancesValued using discounted cash flows incorporating estimates of future interest rate volatility, if applicable, and discounted using LIBOR.

Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio: Estimated fair values are determined based on quoted market prices of similar mortgage loans. These prices, however, can change rapidly based upon market conditions and are highly dependent upon the underlying prepayment assumptions.

Commitments to Extend Credit: The estimated fair values of the FHLBank’s commitments to extend credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed rate mortgage loan commitments, fair value also considers any difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. In accordance with SFAS 149, certain mortgage loan purchase commitments are recorded as derivatives at their fair values. With one particular MPF product, the member originates mortgage loans as an agent for the FHLBank, and the FHLBank funds to close the mortgage loans. The commitments that unconditionally obligate the FHLBank to fund the mortgage loans related to this product are not considered derivatives under SFAS 149. Their estimated fair values were negligible as of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable: The estimated fair values approximate the recorded book balances.

Derivative Assets/Liabilities: The FHLBank bases the estimated fair values of derivatives on instruments with similar terms or available market prices including accrued interest receivable and payable. The estimated fair value is based on the LIBOR swap curve and forward rates at yearperiod end and, for agreements containing options, the market’s expectations of future interest rate volatility implied from current market prices of similar options. The estimated fair value uses standard valuation techniques for derivatives, such as discounted cash flow analysis and comparisons to similar instruments. The FHLBank is subject to credit risk in derivative transactions because of the potential nonperformance by the derivative counterparties. To mitigate this risk, the FHLBank enters into master netting agreements for derivative agreements with highly-rated institutions. In addition, the FHLBank has entered into bilateral security agreements with all active derivative dealer counterparties. These agreements provide for delivery of collateral at specified levels tied to counterparty credit ratings to limit the FHLBank’s net unsecured credit exposure to these counterparties. The FHLBank has evaluated the potential for the fair value of the instruments to be impacted by counterparty credit risk and has determined that no adjustments were significant or necessary to the overall fair value measurements of derivatives. The derivative fair values are netted by counterparty where such legal right exists and offset against fair value amounts recognized for the obligation to return cash collateral held or the right to reclaim cash collateral pledged to the particular counterparty. If these netted amounts are positive, they are classified as an asset and, if negative, a liability.

Deposits: The estimated fair values of deposits are determined by calculating the present values of the expected future cash flows from the deposits, regardless of re-pricing or maturity. The calculated present values are reduced by the accrued interest payable. The discount rates used in these calculations were the cost of deposits with similar terms.

3332

Consolidated Obligations: The estimated fair values for consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes are determined based on projected future cash flows. Fixed rate consolidated obligations that do not contain options are discounted using a replacement rate. Variable rate consolidated obligations that do not contain options are discounted using LIBOR. Consolidated obligations that contain optionality are valued using estimates of future interest rate volatility and discounted using LIBOR.

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock: The fair value of capital stock subject to mandatory redemption is generally at par value. Fair value also includes estimated dividends earned at the time of reclassification from equity to liabilities, until such amount is paid, and any subsequently declared stock dividend. FHLBank Topeka’s dividends are declared and paid at each quarter end; therefore, fair value equaled par value at year ends.as of the end of the periods presented. Stock can only be acquired by members at par value and redeemed or repurchased at par value. Stock is not traded and no market mechanism exists for the exchange of stock outside the cooperative structure.

Standby Letters of Credit: The estimated fair values of standby letters of credit are based on the present value of fees currently charged for similar agreements. The value of these guarantees is recognized and recorded in other liabilities.

Standby Credit Facility: The estimated fair values of the FHLBank’s commitments to extend credit through the SCF product are based on the present value of future fees on existing agreements with fees determined using rates currently charged for similar agreements. The value of these commitments to extend credit through the SCF product is recognized and recorded in other liabilities.

Standby Bond Purchase Agreements: The estimated fair values of the standby bond purchase agreements are estimated using the present value of the future fees on existing agreements with fees determined using rates currently charged for similar agreements.

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As described in Note 8, as provided by the Bank Act or Finance Agency regulation, consolidated obligations are backed only by the financial resources of the 12 FHLBanks. FHLBank Topeka is jointly and severally liable with the 11 other FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on all of the consolidated obligations issued by the FHLBanks. The par amounts for which FHLBank Topeka is jointly and severally liable were approximately $1,088,240,361,000$1,013,659,541,000 and $1,198,203,815,000 as of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. To the extent that an FHLBank makes any consolidated obligation payment on behalf of another FHLBank, the paying FHLBank is entitled to reimbursement from the FHLBank with primary liability. However, if the Finance Agency determines that the primary obligor is unable to satisfy its obligations, then the Finance Agency may allocate the outstanding liability among the remaining FHLBanks on a pro rata basis in proportion to each FHLBank’s participation in all consolidated obligations outstanding, or on any other basis that the Finance Agency may determine. No FHLBank has ever failed to make any payment on a consolidated obligation for which it was the primary obligor. As a result, the regulatory provisions for directing other FHLBanks to make payments on behalf of another FHLBank or allocating the liability among other FHLBanks have never been invoked.

35

The joint and several obligations are mandated by Finance Agency regulations and are not the result of arms-length transactions among the FHLBanks. As described above, the FHLBanks have no control over the amount of the guaranty or the determination of how each FHLBank would perform under the joint and several liability. Because the FHLBanks are subject to the authority of the Finance Agency as it relates to decisions involving the allocation of the joint and several liability for the FHLBank’s consolidated obligations, FHLBank Topeka’s joint and several obligation is excluded from the initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45.

34

FHLBank Topeka regularly monitors the financial condition of the other 11 FHLBanks to determine whether it should expect a loss to arise from its joint and several obligations. If the FHLBank were to determine that a loss was probable and the amount of such loss could be reasonably estimated, the FHLBank would charge to income the amount of the expected loss under the provisions of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. Based upon the creditworthiness of the other FHLBanks at March 31,as of June 30, 2009, FHLBank Topeka believes that a loss accrual is not necessary at this time.

During the third quarter of 2008, each FHLBank entered into a Lending Agreement with the U.S. Treasury in connection with the U.S. Treasury’s establishment of the Government Sponsored Enterprise Credit Facility (GSECF), as authorized by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act (Recovery Act). The GSECF is designed to serve as a contingent source of liquidity for the housing government-sponsored enterprises, including each of the 12 FHLBanks. Any borrowings by one or more of the FHLBanks under the GSECF are considered obligations with the same joint and several liability as all other consolidated obligations. The terms of the borrowings are agreed to at the time of issuance. Loans under the Lending Agreement are to be secured by collateral acceptable to the U.S. Treasury, which consists of FHLBank advances to members that have been collateralized in accordance with regulatory standards and MBS issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Each FHLBank is required to submit to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, acting as fiscal agent of the U.S. Treasury, a weekly list of eligible advance collateral based upon the Lending Agreement. As of March 31,June 30, 2009, the FHLBank had provided the U.S. Treasury with a listing of potential advance collateral amounting to $9,306,838,000.$9,246,920,000. The amount of collateral can be expanded or contracted (subject to the approval of the U.S. Treasury) at any time through the delivery of an updated listing of advance collateral held by the FHLBank as borrower-in-custody or through the delivery of MBS issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac to a custodial National Book Entry System account established through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the benefit of the Treasury. As of March 31,June 30, 2009, no FHLBank had drawn on this available source of liquidity.

Standby credit facility (SCF) commitments that legally bind and unconditionally obligate the FHLBank for additional advances to stockholders totaled $1,000,000,000 at March 31,as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. SCF commitments are executed for members for a fee and are for terms of one year. Standby letters of credit are executed for members for a fee. A standby letter of credit is a short-term financing arrangement between the FHLBank and its member or non-member housing associate. If the FHLBank is required to make payment for a beneficiary’s draw, these amounts are converted into a collateralized advance to the member. As of March 31,June 30, 2009, outstanding standby letters of credit totaled $2,804,891,000$2,839,913,000 and had original terms of sixtwo days to seven years with a final expiration in 2013. As of December 31, 2008, outstanding standby letters of credit totaled $2,751,362,000 and had original terms of seven days to seven years with a final expiration in 2013. Unearned fees as well as the value of the guarantees related to standby letters of credit are recorded in other liabilities and amounted to $1,302,000$1,236,000 and $1,321,000 at March 31,as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The standby letters of credit are fully collateralized with assets allowed by the FHLBank’s Member Products Policy. Based upon management’s credit analysis and collateral requirements, the FHLBank does not expect to incur any credit losses on the letters of credit.

Commitments that unconditionally obligate the FHLBank to fund/purchase mortgage loans from participating FHLBank Topeka members in the MPF Program totaled $122,852,000$50,046,000 and $141,357,000 at March 31,as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Commitments are generally for periods not to exceed 60 calendar days. In accordance with SFAS 149, certain commitments are recorded as derivatives at their fair value on the Statements of Condition. The FHLBank recorded mortgage delivery commitment derivative asset (liability) balances of $71,000$(184,000) and $(1,539,000) at March 31,as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

The FHLBank has entered into standby bond purchase agreements with state housing authorities within its four-state district whereby the FHLBank, for a fee, agrees to purchase and hold the authorities’ bonds until the designated marketing agent can find a suitable investor or the housing authority repurchases the bond according to a schedule established by the standby agreement. Each standby agreement dictates the specific terms that would require the FHLBank to purchase the bond. The bond purchase commitments entered into by the FHLBank expire no later than 2014, though some are renewable at the option of the FHLBank. Total commitments for bond purchases with two state housing authorities were $1,296,861,000$1,672,896,000 and $1,311,906,000 at March 31,as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The FHLBank was not required to purchase any bonds under these agreements during the three-monththree- or six-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008.

The FHLBank generally executes derivatives with counterparties having ratings of single-A or better by either Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s. These agreements are generally covered under bilateral collateral agreements between the FHLBank and the counterparties. As of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the FHLBank had delivered cash with a book value of $179,600,000$84,150,000 and $245,600,000, respectively, as collateral to broker/dealers that have market-risk exposure to the FHLBank.

NOTE 15 – TRANSACTIONS WITH STOCKHOLDERS AND HOUSING ASSOCIATES

The FHLBank is a cooperative whose members own the capital stock of the FHLBank and generally receive dividends on their investments. In addition, certain former members that still have outstanding transactions are also required to maintain their investments in FHLBank capital stock until the transactions mature or are paid off. Nearly all outstanding advances are with current members, and the majority of outstanding mortgage loans held for portfolio were purchased from current or former members. The FHLBank also maintains demand deposit accounts for members primarily to facilitate settlement activities that are directly related to advances and mortgage loan purchases.

Transactions with members are entered into in the ordinary course of business. In instances where members also have officers or directors who are directors of the FHLBank, transactions with those members are subject to the same eligibility and credit criteria, as well as the same terms and conditions, as other transactions with members. For financial reporting and disclosure purposes, the FHLBank defines related parties in accordance with SFAS No. 57, Related Party Disclosures (herein referred to as “SFAS 57”) as FHLBank directors’ financial institutions and members with investments in excess of 10 percent of the FHLBank’s total regulatory capital stock outstanding, which includes mandatorily redeemable capital stock.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reviews the financial condition of the FHLBank as of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and results of operations for the three-monththree- and six-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim financial statements and notes presented under Part I Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the annual report on Form 10-K, which includes audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Overview
The FHLBank Topeka is a regional wholesale bank that makes advances (loans) to, purchases mortgages from, and provides other financial services to our member institutions. We are one of 12 district FHLBanks which, together with the Office of Finance, a joint office of the FHLBanks, make up the “FHLBank System.” As independent, member-owned cooperatives, the FHLBanks seek to maintain a balance between their public purpose and their ability to provide adequate returns on the capital supplied by their members. The FHLBanks are supervised and regulated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (Finance Agency), an independent agency in the executive branch of the U.S. government. The Finance Agency is responsible for ensuring that the FHLBank carries out its housing finance mission, remains adequately capitalized, is capable of raising funds in the capital markets and operates in a safe and sound manner.

The FHLBank serves eligible financial institutions in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma (collectively, the Tenth District of the FHLBank System). Initially, members are required to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock to give them access to advance borrowings or to enable them to sell mortgage loans to the FHLBank under the MPF Program. The FHLBank’s capital increases when its members are required to purchase additional capital stock in the form of Class B Common Stock to support an increase in advance borrowings from the FHLBank or the sale of additional mortgage loans to the FHLBank. At its discretion, the FHLBank may repurchase excess capital stock from time to time if a member’s advances or mortgage loan balances decline. Despite the intensifying financial market disruptions that began in the third quarter of 2007 and significant fluctuations in total assets, liabilities and capital during 2008 and into 2009, the FHLBank has been able to: (1) achieve its liquidity, housing finance and community development missions by meeting member credit needs through the offering of advances, MPF and other products; and (2) pay market-rate dividends.

3Dividends reclassified as interest expense on mandatorily redeemable capital stock in accordance with SFAS 150 and not included as GAAP dividends were $79,000, $294,000, $65,000, $151,000 $150,000 and $243,000$150,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2009, March 31, 2009, December 31, 2008, September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively.
4Weighted average dividend rates are dividends paid in cash and stock on both classes of stock divided by the average capital stock eligible for dividends.
5Net interest margin is net interest income before mortgage loan loss provision as a percentage of average earning assets.
Total capital ratio is GAAP capital stock, which excludes mandatorily redeemable capital stock in accordance with SFAS 150, plus retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income as a percentage of total assets at period end.
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges (interest expense including amortization of premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness) is computed by dividing total earnings by fixed charges.

Quarterly Overview
Total assets decreased during the first threesix months of 2009 by 11.321.0 percent to $51.9$46.3 billion as of March 31,June 30, 2009 from $58.6 billion as of December 31, 2008. Changes in the mix of assets for the three-month period includedThis decline is almost entirely due to an $8.8$11.3 billion decrease in advances and a $1.8during the six-month period ended June 30, 2009. The remaining $1.0 billion decrease was predominantly attributable to a net reduction in held-to-maturity securities offset by a $3.3 billion increase in interest-bearing deposits at the Federal Reserve and a $0.7 billion increase in trading securities. Thevarious investment portfolios.

Nearly half of the decrease in advances can largely be attributed toadvance balances is the result of U.S. Central Federal Credit Union paying down $5.4 billion during the first quarter of 2009, but the FHLBank experiencedlargely as a broad-based advance decline as its members dealt with increasing deposits and declining loan demand that reduced member advance demand. U.S. Central Federal Credit Union, the FHLBank’s largest borrower asconsequence of December 31, 2008 (see Table 10), wasgovernment assistance culminating in being placed into conservatorship by the National Credit Union Administration on March 20, 2009. DuringThe remaining decrease is the thirdresult of a broad-based advance decline as FHLBank members have generally experienced growth in deposits, decline in loan demand, and fourth quartersaccess to debt programs explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government. All of these have contributed to an overall reduction in members’ demand for FHLBank advances. Although total advance balances have declined every month this year, the pace of the decline has slowed during the second quarter.

Total investments (including interest-bearing deposits at the Federal Reserve) decreased $1.1 billion from December 31, 2008 as the FHLBank allowed short-termmanaged its balance sheet in order to maintain appropriate liquidity, capital, and leverage ratios subsequent to the large decrease in advances. This decrease in total investments to mature and primarily retainedwas also accompanied by a significant change in the funds from those maturities in itscomposition of the FHLBank’s investment portfolio. On May 20, 2009, the Federal Reserve BankBoard issued the final rule amending Regulation D, which resulted in the elimination of interest paid on excess reserves held in the FHLBank’s Federal Reserve account which providedeffective July 2, 2009 (see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Investments” under this Item 2 for a more detailed discussion). As a result, the FHLBank with an additional sourcebegan increasing its short-term investment portfolios and decreasing its excess reserves at the Federal Reserve in preparation for this change. After a thorough credit review of liquidity and interest income while allowingpotential counterparties, the FHLBank to reduceincreased its unsecured credit exposure to non-government guaranteed counterparties. The FHLBank began reinvestinginvestment in short-term government guaranteed money market investmentsinstruments, predominantly in the latter partform of the fourth quarter 2008commercial paper, certificates of deposit, and these securitiesovernight Federal funds transactions. Commercial paper and certificates of deposit purchased during this portfolio diversification were classified as trading securities under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (herein referred to enhanceas “SFAS 115”) in order to maintain the FHLBank’s liquidity position. high level of liquidity. Correspondingly, the amount of excess reserves (interest-bearing deposits) at the Federal Reserve was reduced to $0.5 billion as of June 30, 2009, which is down from $6.6 billion as of March 31, 2009 and $3.3 billion as of December 31, 2008.

On the liability side of the balance sheet, consolidated obligation discount notes, which are typically used to fund short-term advances and Federal funds sold,investments, decreased by $5.8$10.6 billion and longer term consolidated obligation bonds decreased by $0.4$0.6 billion. This decrease in discount notes and consolidated obligation bondsobligations corresponds to the decrease in demand for advances.advances and in the size of the FHLBank’s total investments and interest-bearing deposits.

The FHLBank’s net income for the three-month period ended March 31,June 30, 2009 was $60.9$105.2 million compared to $23.6$47.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31,June 30, 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to the following:
§
$3.43.1 million decreaseincrease in net interest income (increase income);
§ $36.3 million increase related to net gain (loss) on trading securities (decrease(increase income);
§
$54.439.3 million increase in net income related to net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities (increase income); and
§
$13.521.0 million increase in assessments (decrease income).

Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 was $166.1 million compared to $70.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to the following:
§ $3.5 million increase in net interest income (increase income);
§ $32.9 million increase related to net gain (loss) on trading securities (increase income);
§ $93.7 million increase related to net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities (increase income); and
§ $34.5 million increase in assessments (decrease income).

As indicated above, the increase in net income for both the second quarter of 2009 and the first quartersix months of 2009 compared to the first quarter ofsame periods in 2008 was mainly due to the positive impact of the $54.4 million increasemarket value changes in net gain (loss) ontrading securities as well as gains related to derivatives and hedging activities offset by the negative impactactivities. These items include derivatives (interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and floors) and trading securities (Agency debentures and mortgage-backed securities). Most of the $3.4 million decrease in net gain (loss)market value changes on trading securities.securities and gains on derivatives are a result of different interest rate indices and credit spreads returning to more normal, historical relationships or levels. See “Net Gain (Loss) on Derivative and Hedging Activities” and “Net Gain (Loss) on Trading Securities” in this Item 2 for additional discussion.

The FHLBank’s net interest income increased steadilywas 21.0 percent higher in the second quarter of 2009 than in the first quarter. Even though balances declined significantly, as discussed above, spreads widened as high-cost debt transacted in late 2008 to ensure adequate liquidity for member advances over year end matured during the first threeand second quarters of 2008 as net interest spreads, capital and average earning assets all increased.2009. During the fourth quarter 2008, the FHLBank experienced a significant contraction in net interest spreads as it extended the term of its consolidated obligationsshort-term discount notes for liquidity purposes in the midst of rapidly falling interest rates.the market liquidity crisis. As a result of this extension of funding, when short-term rates fell during the fourth quarter, the FHLBank’s assets re-priced faster than liabilities during the fourth quarter and the resulting in a significant decrease in net interest income decreased significantly. The extension of the terms of borrowings was to increase liquidity in order to ensure it could fulfill member needs for liquidity through advances during a period of market turmoil and over the end of the year.income. During the firstsecond quarter of 2009 as the need for longer term liquidity decreased, the FHLBank began issuing shorter-term discount notes that were a better match with assets on its balance sheet. This reduced the cost of debt issued duringand along with the fourth quarter maturedolder debt maturities widened spreads and the liabilities re-priced down to the current market levels, which allowedincreased net interest spreads to recover from the fourth quarter 2008 levels. At the same time, during the first quarter of 2009 the FHLBank was able to shorten the maturities of its consolidated obligations while continuing to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet all of its liquidity requirements and continuing to ensure it could meet member advance demand. The shortening of liabilities also contributed to the improved net interest income from the fourth quarter of 2008 to the first quarter of 2009.income.

The significant fluctuations that have occurred in non-interest income over the past five quarters are primarily the result of the recognition of net gains/losses on derivatives and hedging activities as required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS)SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – Deferral of Effective Date of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and as amended by SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments(herein referred to as “SFAS 133”), as well as the mark-to-market revaluations of trading securities required under SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (herein referred to as “SFAS 115”).115. During the fourthsecond quarter of 2008,2009, net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities was $(215.8)$102.4 million while net gain (loss) on trading securities was $109.1$(25.7) million. This resulted in a decreasean increase to net income of $106.7$76.7 million, which had a significant impact on the FHLBank’s results of operations and corresponding key ratios for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008. June 30, 2009. For the first six months of 2009, the net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities was $122.2 million while the net gain (loss) on trading securities was $(15.8) million. This resulted in an increase to net income of $106.4 million, which also had a significant impact on the FHLBank’s results of operations and corresponding key ratios for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.

Tables 6 and 78 through 11 and the discussion in both “Net Gain (Loss) on Derivative and Hedging Activities” and “Net Gain (Loss) on Trading Securities” in this Item 2 demonstrate and explain the fluctuations in Other Income (Loss) between the three monthsthree- and six-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008.

The FHLBank’s return on average equity (ROE) increased to 10.6319.63 percent for the firstsecond quarter of 2009 compared to 4.128.08 percent for the same period of 2008. ThisThe FHLBank’s return on average equity (ROE) for the first six months of 2009 increased to 14.98 percent compared to 6.12 percent for the same period of 2008. The increase in ROE for both periods can be primarily attributed to the increase inpositive impact of market value changes on trading securities and net income related to the change in the net gain (loss)gains on derivativesderivative and hedging activities partially offset by the negative impactas discussed above.

Dividends paid for the firstsecond quarter of 2009 were 0.75 percent and 2.50 percent per annum for Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, respectively. This was a decrease over dividends paid for the firstsecond quarter of 2008 of 2.751.75 percent and 5.754.75 percent per annum for Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, respectively. The decrease in dividend rates corresponds withcan be attributed to the decrease in short-term interest rates between the periods. The payout ratio decreased from 10744 percent during the firstsecond quarter of 2008 to 179 percent during the firstsecond quarter of 2009. The current level of dividends paid in a period is normally determined based upon a spread to the average overnight Federal funds effective rate and may not correlate with the amount of net income earned during the period because of fluctuations in net gain (loss) on trading securities and net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities for the period, which are typically not considered during the determination of dividend rates for a period. The average overnight Federal funds effective rate for the three-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008 was 0.190.18 percent and 3.172.09 percent, respectively (see Table 2). Refer to this Item 2 – “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Capital Distributions” for further information regarding FHLBank dividend payments.

At its March 2009 meeting,The FOMC maintained the Federal funds target rate at a range of zero to 0.25 percent at its April 29, 2009 and June 24, 2009 meetings. On June 25, 2009, the Federal Reserve announced several changes to its liquidity programs. Specifically, the Federal Reserve Bank extended the Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (AMLF), the Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF), the Primary Dealer Credit Facility (PDCF), and the Term Securities Lending Facility (TSLF) to February 1, 2010. Several of these programs support markets that directly or indirectly impact the market for FHLBank consolidated obligations. The extension of these facilities may adversely impact issuance of FHLBank consolidated obligations. Additionally, the Federal Reserve reduced the size of the Term Auction Facility (TAF) from $150 billion to $100 billion (effective August 2009) and did not extend the authorization for the Money Market Investor Funding Facility (MMIFF). TAF funds are an alternative to FHLBank advances for certain FHLBank members, and therefore, this action may alleviate competition related to the TAF program in the future. In making these changes, the Federal Reserve noted improvements in the condition of financial markets. However, it also cautioned that many segments of financial markets are currently impaired and will likely remain impaired for quite a while. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York also changed its System Open Market Committee (FOMC) decidedAccount (SOMA) securities lending program to include the direct obligations of the housing-related government-sponsored enterprises held in its SOMA portfolio, including the FHLBank, as securities that it would purchase upwill be offered for loan in the daily SOMA securities lending auctions. The change is effective July 9, 2009.

LIBOR rates have fallen significantly during the first half of 2009. The decrease in LIBOR rates is primarily the result of excess demand from market participants with larger amounts of cash to $300 billioninvest than the supply of eligible money market investments. To a lesser extent, the decrease in LIBOR might also indicate that financial markets see less risk in lending short-term funds to other financial institutions. In some instances, the decrease in LIBOR results in decreases in the FHLBank’s borrowing costs including debt that is directly swapped to LIBOR and debt that, while not directly tied to LIBOR, normally tracks the general direction of LIBOR rates. Conversely, decreases in LIBOR also result in decreases in yields on some FHLBank assets including investments and advances directly indexed to LIBOR and assets that, while not directly indexed to LIBOR, normally track the general direction of LIBOR rates.

During the second quarter of 2009, the yield curve for U.S. Treasuries steepened as longer-term interest rates increased significantly. This increase is likely due to market concerns about the potential inflationary impact from the current and anticipated volumes of U.S. Treasury bondsissuance and concerns about the potential decrease in demand for U.S. Treasuries, Agency debentures and Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) after the Federal Reserve Bank’s quantitative easing program has ended. In some instances, higher long-term interest rates increase the cost of issuing FHLBank consolidated obligations and typically increase the cost of advances for its members. However, increases in Treasury rates did not fully extend to increases in rates for FHLBank debentures because spreads of the FHLBank debt relative to similar term U.S. Treasury instruments declined significantly since December 31, 2008. For example, the spread between the on-the-run FHLBank two-year bullet debt and the two-year U.S. Treasury note was 82 basis points on December 31, 2008. This spread decreased to 33 basis points as of June 30, 2009. The spread between the on-the-run FHLBank five-year bullet debt and the five-year Treasury note was 130 basis points on December 31, 2008. This spread decreased to 60 basis points as of June 30, 2009. As a result, interest rates paid on FHLBank debt did not increase as much as they did for U.S. Treasuries over the next six months. Purchases began on March 25,first half of 2009 and, will be concentrated, although not limited, to securities with maturitiesin fact actually decreased for some maturities.

During the first quarter of two to ten years. Additionally, on March 18, 2009, the FOMC announceddirected the Federal Reserve would purchase an additional $750 millionto initiate purchases of U.S. Treasuries and increase the targeted purchases of Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), bringing its total purchases of these securities up to $1.25 trillion by the end of 2009. In addition, the FOMC announced the Federal Reserve would increase its purchases ofand Agency debentures, including those issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) and the FHLBanks, by $100 billion to a total of $200 billion by the end of 2009.debentures. In the firstsecond quarter of 2009, the Federal Reserve purchased $9.3$10.3 billion in FHLBank consolidated obligations. The weighted average maturity yeardate of the consolidated obligations purchased in the second quarter of 2009 was November 26, 2012. The total amount of FHLBank consolidated obligations purchased by the Federal Reserve in the first two quarters of 2009 was $19.5 billion. The weighted average maturity date of the consolidated obligations purchased in the first quartertwo quarters of 2009 was October 25, 2012. From the beginning of the purchase program on December 5, 2008, the total amount of FHLBank consolidated obligations purchased by the Federal Reserve through June 30th, 2009 was $22.6 billion with a weighted average maturity date of September 16, 2012. These actions havepurchases by the Federal Reserve helped to stabilize the U.S. Treasury, Agency debenture and Agency MBS markets inthroughout the first quartersix months of 2009. The program to purchase agency debentures is capped at $200 billion and is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2009. When the purchases reach the specified cap or when the program expires, the cost to issue FHLBank consolidated obligations will likely increase, particularly for those with terms of two-years or greater.

Investors continued to demonstrate risk aversion during the first quarter of 2009 by focusing their investments in high quality, short-term instruments. Primarily due to the implicit support from the U.S. government, investors continue to view short-term FHLBank consolidated obligations as carrying a strong credit profile whichprofile. This has resulted in strong investor demand for FHLBank discount notes and short-term bonds.bonds, especially during late-2008 and the first half of 2009. Because of this strong demand, the cost to issue short-term consolidated obligations remained low throughout the first quartersix months of 2009. We are unsure how long these low debt issuance costs will persist, however, as we anticipate that demand for short-term consolidated obligations will fall and yields rise as investors regain confidence in higher yielding financial instruments. As indicated above in our discussion of FHLBank debt relative to similar term U.S. Treasury instruments, and flight-to-quality abates. The relative LIBORthe cost onto issue consolidated obligations for terms of two years or greater remains unattractive as a funding source for the FHLBank’s relatively short-dated advance and money market investment portfolios. This is due to a liquidity premium placed on any non-Treasury term debt obligation that is absentimproved in the interest rate swap market.  Becausesecond quarter of 2009 and is approaching levels experienced prior to the financial market disruptions in the second and third quarter of 2008. We believe this improvement is primarily the result of the FOMC’s direct purchases of FHLBank debentures and, secondarily, from improving financial market conditions. However, because of the short-term maturity of its advances (including long-term adjustable rate advances tied to the FHLBank’s short-term advance rates), and short-term investments, the FHLBank continues to fund its advance portfolio with a significant amountportion of its advances and investments with short-term consolidated obligation discount notes. This allows the FHLBank to adjust its balance sheet as advance demand expands and contracts.contracts, much like it did during the first half of 2009.

Results of Operations
The primary source of the FHLBank’s earnings is net interest income, (NII), which is the interest earned on advances, mortgage loans, investments and invested capital less interest paid on consolidated obligations, deposits, and other borrowings. The FHLBank’s NIInet interest income for the firstsecond quarter of 2009 increased slightly over the firstsecond quarter of 2008. This increase can be primarily attributed to increased net interest spreads as opposed to changes in volumes or rates. The decrease in the cost of the FHLBank’s liabilities exceeded the decrease in yields on the FHLBank’s interest earning assets when comparing 2009 to 2008 for the three-month periods. The net interest income for the first six months of 2009 increased slightly over the first six months of 2008. This increase is primarily attributed to increased net interest spreads as opposed to changes in volumes or rates. See Tables 4 and 5through 7 for further information regarding average balances and yields and changes in interest income.

Net income is subject to volatility not only from changes in the average balance of total assets and interest rates but also from gains (losses) on trading securities and derivatives. See “Net Gain (Loss) on Derivative and Hedging Activities” and “Net Gain (Loss) on Trading Securities” in this Item 2 for a discussion of the impact of these activities by period.

Net Interest Income – Net interest income increased 0.64.3 percent from $61.4$71.7 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2008 to $61.8$74.8 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2009 whileeven though total assets declined $14.6 billion (-24.0 percent) from June 30, 2008. The impact on net interest income from the decrease in assets was more than offset by a nine basis point increase in the FHLBank’s net interest margin remained unchanged at 0.45from 0.51 percent for the quartersquarter ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. A portion ofJune 30, 2008 to 0.60 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

There are two primary causes for the increase from the first quarter of 2008 to the first quarter of 2009 is attributable to an increase in earning assets as average earning assets increased from $55.2 billion in the first quarter of 2008FHLBank’s net interest margin; (1) generally wider spreads due to $55.9 billion in the first quarter of 2009. This increase can be primarily attributed to: (1)favorable short-term funding costs; and (2) an increase in the relative sizeproportion of higher earning assets (primarily MBS investments and mortgage loans) to total assets. Over the last year, short-term discount note borrowing costs have remained very low as investor demand for short-term, high quality investment paper has been strong. As a result, the FHLBank’s funding mix was adjusted to take advantage of this market opportunity – providing an improvement to spreads. Additionally, as advance balances have declined, the MBS and mortgage loan portfolios have grown as a percentage of assets. The carrying value of the FHLBank’s MBS investment portfolioand mortgage loan portfolios have increased from $7.1 billion14.5 and 4.2 percent, respectively, of total assets as of March 31,June 30, 2008 (3.2 times capital) to $9.6 billion19.2 and 6.9 percent, respectively, of total assets as of March 31, 2009 (4.5 times capital)June 30, 2009. The MBS and mortgage loan portfolios are among the highest spread portfolios on the FHLBank’s balance sheet. The MBS portfolio increased significantly during 2008 as the FHLBank acquired $2.7 billion variable rate Agency MBS under Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board), through Resolution 2008-08, “Temporary Authorization to Invest in Additional Agency Mortgage Securities,” from April through Augustgranted Federal Home Loan Banks the authority to grow MBS investments beyond previously established limits. See Item 7 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of 2008;Financial Condition and (2) an increaseResults of Operations - Balance Sheet Analysis - Investments" in the MPF mortgage loans held in portfolio. These two changes resultedannual report on Form 10-K for additional discussion on Finance Board Regulation 2008-08.

Net interest income increased 2.6 percent from $133.1 million in the FHLBank having more higher-earning assets on its balance sheet during 2009 than during the same period in 2008. Interest income on interest-earning assets decreased from the first quartersix months of 2008 to $136.6 million in the first quartersix months of 2009, primarily because of a decrease inwhile the average rate on interest-earning assets as reflected in Table 5. Interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities decreased as well, but to a greater extent than interest income because of favorable interest costs on short-term consolidated obligations, primarily discount notes. As a result of the decreased funding costs relative to income on earning assets, theFHLBank’s net interest spread reflected in Table 4margin increased to 0.52 percent from 0.260.48 percent for the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, to 0.37 percent for the first quarter of 2009. Although rates declined significantly, the increase in average earning assets, primarily higher yielding assets, resulted in a net increase in NII (see Table 5).respectively.

As explained in more detail in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk – Interest Rate Risk Management” under Item 3, the FHLBank’s DOEduration of equity (DOE) is relatively short. The historically short DOE is the result of the short maturities (or short reset periods) on the majority of the FHLBank’s assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the FHLBank’s net interest income is quite sensitive to the level of short-term interest rates. However, as average short-term interest rates decreased between the firstsecond quarter of 2008 and the firstsecond quarter of 2009, the FHLBank’s net interest income actually increased because: (1) total interest expense declined at a faster rate than total interest income as a result of favorable short-term borrowing costs; and (2) average total interest-earninghigher spread assets increased.(MBS investments and mortgage loans) became a greater percentage of the FHLBank’s balance sheet. The difference or spread between market interest rates such as LIBOR and FHLBank discount notes has tightened considerably since June 30, 2009, which will have a negative impact on net interest income as the ability to earn wider spreads will be diminished. We expect that given the expansion of U.S. government explicitly guaranteed debt that competes with FHLBank consolidated obligations, government-guaranteed lending programs available to members that compete with advances and the continuing disruptions in the Agency/Government Sponsored Enterprise (GSE) funding market as discussed in more detail in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Market Trends” under this Item 2, the FHLBank’s net interest income netwill decline in the second half of 2009 as we anticipate that short-term interest marginrates will remain essentially unchanged at their current low levels and net interest spreads arethe FHLBank’s balance sheet is likely to decrease duringremain smaller than in the lastfirst half of 2009.the year.

Other Income (Loss) – The volatility in other income (loss) is predominately driven by trading gains (losses) as well as derivative and hedging adjustments related to SFAS 133. Net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities and net gains (losses) on trading securities are discussed in more detail below.

Net Gain (Loss) on Derivative and Hedging Activities – The application of SFAS 133 resulted in a net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities of $19.8$102.4 million and $(34.7)$63.2 million for the quarters ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities was $122.2 million and $28.5 million, respectively. The FHLBank’s net gains (losses) from derivatives and hedging are sensitive to the general level of interest rates.rates, which includes the shape of the interest rate curve and interest rate volatility. Most of the derivative gains and losses are related to economic hedges such as swaps matched to trading securities, caps, floors, etc. Because of the mix of these economic hedges, the FHLBank historically recorded gains on its derivatives when the general level of interest rates rose during a period and recorded losses on its derivatives when the general level of interest rates fell during a period. SuchThis was the case for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008 (note the increase in long term rates as well as the increased steepness of the interest rate curve from year end December 31, 2008 in Table 2).

The first quarter 2009 net gains on derivatives and hedging activities is primarily due to a change in the relationship between interestfirst half of 2009 can primarily be attributable to: (1) an increase in long-term rates on GSE debt securities and interest rate swaps since the end of 2008, but also includes losses2008; and (2) gains on purchased interest rate caps that are economic hedges of caps embedded in variable rate Agency MBS/CMOs (collateralized mortgage obligations) (both of these economic hedges are included under the “Investment” heading in Table 6) andTables 8 through 11). These gains are partially offset by net interest payments on the interest rate swaps matched to trading investments. Interest rates on GSEgovernment sponsored enterprise (GSE) debt securities and interest rate swaps typically moved together and were very well correlated historically until financial difficulties at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac created a considerable divergence whereby the cost of GSE debt increased relative to swaps. This divergence during the last half of 2008 caused the losses on derivatives (interest rate swaps) to be much larger than gains on the hedged items (GSE debentures) during the last half of 2008.. This spread widening between interest rates swaps and GSE debt partiallyhas, to a large extent, reversed itself during the first quartersix months of 2009, resultingand returned to more historical levels. This has resulted in the gains on the derivatives (interest rate swaps) to be larger than losses on the hedged items (GSE debentures). See Tables 6 and 7.

Net Gain (Loss) on Trading Securities – All gains (losses) related to trading securities are recorded in other income as net gain (loss) on trading securities; however, only gains (losses) on trading securities that are related to economic hedges are included in Tables 6 and 7.8 through 11. Unrealized gains (losses) fluctuate as the fair value of our trading securities portfolio fluctuates. As noted above, the FHLBank’s trading securities related to economic hedges are sensitive to the general level of long-term interest rates. Gains (losses) in this category move in the opposite direction of and partially or fully offset the net gain (loss) on derivative and hedging activities. Gains (losses) in the MBS/CMO portfolio also move in the opposite direction of the movement in interest rates but with no offsetting economic hedge gain or loss. The FHLBank generallynormally records gains on its trading securities when the general level of long-term interest rates falls over the period and records losses on its trading securities when the general level of long-term interest rates rises over the period. During the firstsecond quarter of 2009, the FHLBank recorded net gain (loss) on trading securities of $(25.1) million attributable to trading securities related to economic hedges and $(0.6) million attributable to unswapped variable rate Agency MBS/CMOs. However, during the second quarter of 2008, the FHLBank recorded net gain (loss) on trading securities of $20.4$(63.4) million attributable to trading securities related to economic hedges and $(7.1)$1.4 million attributable to unswapped variable rate Agency MBS/CMOs. However, duringFor the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2009, the FHLBank recorded net gain (loss) on trading securities of $(16.0)$(41.1) million attributable to trading securities related to economic hedges and $25.9$25.3 million attributable to unswapped variable rate Agency MBS/CMOs. This compares to a net gain (loss) on trading securities of $(43.0) million attributable to trading securities related to economic hedges and $(5.8) million attributable to unswapped variable rate Agency MBS/CMOs for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The first quarter of 2009 losslosses on swapped fixed rate trading securities waswere primarily attributable to an increase in long-term interest rates during the first quarter of 2009. The gain in the unswapped variable rate Agency MBS/CMO portfolio is a result of increased liquidity in the Agency mortgage markets and an increase in demand relative to supply for Agency MBS/CMO securities primarily because of the Federal Reserve’s purchase of Agency MBS, which has significantly contributed to a tightening of the discount margin for Agency MBS.

The significant increaseincreases in the net interest received (paid) on economic hedges from the first quarter of 2008 ($4.1 million net paid) to the first quarter of 2009 ($14.4 million net paid) waswere attributable to the decrease in the variable rate of interest received by the FHLBank on the derivatives (interest rate swaps). As reflected in Table 2, average three-month LIBOR was 3.29 percent fordecreased significantly from the first three monthshalf of 2008 compared to only 1.24 percent for the same period infirst half of 2009.

Controllable Operating Expenses – Controllable operating expenses include compensation and benefits and other operating expenses. These expenses increased from $8.5 million for the first three monthsthree- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same periods of 2008 to $9.4 million for the first three months of 2009.(see Table 3). The increase isincreases are primarily attributable to increased fees paid to the FHLBank’s Board of Directors with the removal of the statutory cap on fees and implementation of the FHLBank's Board of Directors Compensation Policy, which became effective January 1, 2009, increased professional fees paid to address technology/programming needs and amounts paid for models used to analyze and provide disclosures for the FHLBank’s private-label MBS. The FHLBank expects similar increases forin controllable operating expenses during the next threetwo quarters.

Return on Equity – Return on equity was 10.6319.63 percent (annualized) in the second quarter of 2009, an increase from 8.08 percent for the second quarter of 2008. Return on equity was 14.98 percent (annualized) in the first quartersix month of 2009, an increase of 651 basis points from 4.126.12 percent for the first quartersix months of 2008. The primary contributors to the increase in net income in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008these increases were the positive impact of both the net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities and negative impact of the changes in net gain (loss) on trading securities. As reflected insecurities (see Table 3, the increases in non-interest income categories were the primary contributors to the increase in net income when comparing the first quarter of 2009 to the first quarter of 2008.3).

Advances – Outstanding advances decreased by 24.631.5 percent from $35.8 billion on December 31, 2008 to $27.0$24.5 billion on March 31,June 30, 2009 (see Table 8)12). Over the three-monthsix-month period, the mix of products changed significantly, with short-term fixed rate advances increasing to 20.521.2 percent, regular fixed rate advances increasing to 27.228.0 percent, fixed rate convertible advances increasing to 21.122.1 percent and line of credit advances decreasing to 3.24.3 percent of the total as of March 31,June 30, 2009, compared to 15.7 percent, 21.1 percent, 16.5 percent and 22.3 percent, respectively, as of December 31, 2008 (see Table 9)13). The par value of total fixed rate advances decreased by $0.6$1.6 billion and the par value of total adjustable rate advances, including lines of credit, decreased by $8.1$9.3 billion (see Table 9)13). Line of credit advances decreased significantly from $7.8 billion at December 31, 2008 to $0.8$1.0 billion at March 31,June 30, 2009. The sharp decline in the FHLBank’s overnight line of credit advances can largely be attributed to U.S. Central Federal Credit Union paying down $5.4 billion during the first quarter of 2009. 2009; see “Quarterly Overview” in this Item 2 for additional discussion.

The FHLBank also faces increased competition fromFederal government and the Federal Reserve Bank’s Term Auction Facility (TAF) where member institutions can acquire secured term borrowings athave instituted various programs to infuse the markets with liquidity as a rate of 0.25 percent as well as accessway to funds throughaddress the discount window. In addition, member institutions are experiencing an increase in deposit balancesfinancial and liquidity crisis. These programs coupled with: (1) investors increasing bank deposits after retreating from their customers combined with reducedthe stock markets; and (2) sluggish loan demand and limited attractive other investment alternatives, which has impactedat our advance activity inmembers have reduced the first quarter and may continue to do so.

demand for FHLBank advances are facing heavy competition from other liquidity sources as well as declining demand due to the credit crisis.advances. As a result, we expect total advances from existingto members to continuecontinued to decline in the second quarter of 2009, but not as significantly as they declinedthe decline during the first quarter of 2009. A regulatory push for financial institutions to diversify their sources of liquidity providers in the first quarter pushed advance balances, especially line of credit advances, down significantly. Additionally, adjustments being implemented by theThe Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) implemented a special assessment on FDIC-insured financial institution deposit balances as of June 30, 2009, but this FDIC action did not seem to have an impact on advance demand. At this time, there is nothing to indicate that the decline in FHLBank advances will cease until there is an increase in U.S. economic activity, which appears unlikely to occur before the second quarterend of 2009. While we cannot predict how much more, if any, FHLBank advances will potentially increasedecline before the base assessmentend of 2009, we do not expect the rate of decline to be anywhere near the actual decline experienced for institutions utilizing secured liabilities, which could further hinder additionalthe first half of 2009. However, when member advance usage. However, if funding demand increases, a few larger members could have a significant impact on the amount of total outstanding advances in the second quarter. If the FHLBank is to experience additional advance growth during the remainder of 2009, it is likely to come primarily from new FHLBank insurance company members, but we do not expect any such growth to be significant in relation to current advance balances.advances.

Note that an individual advance may be reclassified to a different product type between periods due to the occurrence of a triggering event such as the passing of a call date (i.e., from fixed rate callable advance to regular fixed rate advance) or conversion of an advance (i.e., from fixed rate convertible advance to adjustable rate callable advance).

Total advances as a percentage of total assets decreased from 61.2 percent as of December 31, 2008 to 52.053.0 percent as of March 31,June 30, 2009. TheWe anticipate the percentage of total advances to total assets is expected to increase bystay in the endrange of 2009 as we reduce our leverage from around 24:150 to approximately 23:1 through a reduction in money market investments in order to maximize the FHLBank’s flexibility in managing its balance sheet in response to new liquidity guidelines established by the Finance Agency. The FHLBank still anticipates maintaining advance balances within a range from 55 to 65 percent of total assets duringfor the remainder of 20092009. As advances decline, we expect to: (1) repurchase excess capital stock, consistent with past practice, when and in future periods. Also, any growthas requested, and (2) leverage capital in the FHLBank’s mortgage loan portfolio will be accommodated on the balance sheet through a reduction in money market and other short-term investments.range of 22:1 to 23:1 as conditions dictate. The average yield on advances was 1.571.54 percent for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2009, compared to 4.012.82 percent for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2008. Additionally, the average yield on advances was 1.55 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 3.40 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in average yieldyields on advances is attributable to the decline in short-term interest rates from 2008 to 2009.

As of March 31,June 30, 2009, line of credit advances (which re-price daily) and short-term, fixed rate advances (maturities of 93 days or less) represented 23.725.5 percent of outstanding advances. Adjustable rate advances (re-pricing daily to every three months) represented 22.118.3 percent, and convertible advances (swapped to three-month LIBOR, synthetically creating three-month advances) represented 21.122.1 percent. As of December 31, 2008, line of credit advances (which re-price daily) and short-term, fixed rate advances (maturities of 93 days or less) represented 38.0 percent of outstanding advances. Adjustable rate advances (re-pricing daily to every three months) represented 19.8 percent, and convertible advances (swapped to three-month LIBOR, synthetically creating three-month advances) represented 16.5 percent. In addition, fixed rate bullet advances and callable advances either swapped to one-month or three-month LIBOR (synthetically creating one-month or three-month advances) represented 15.016.3 percent and 12.2 percent as of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. As a result, 81.982.2 percent of the FHLBank’s advance portfolio as of March 31,June 30, 2009 and 86.5 percent of the FHLBank’s advance portfolio as of December 31, 2008 effectively re-priced at least every three months. Because of the relatively short nature of the FHLBank’s advance portfolio, the average yield in this portfolio typically responds quickly to changes in the general level of short-term interest rates. The level of short-term interest rates is primarily driven by FOMC decisions on the level of its overnight Federal funds target, but is also influenced by the expectations of capital market participants related to the strength of the economy, future inflationary pressure and other factors. See Tables 4 and 5through 7 under “Results of Operations – Net Interest Income” in this Item 2 for further information regarding average balances, average yields/rates and changes in interest income.

The FHLBank’s potential credit risk from advances is concentrated in commercial banks, thrift institutions, credit unions and insurance companies, but also includes credit risk exposure to a limited number of housing associates. Table 1014 presents information on the FHLBank’s five largest borrowers as of March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (in thousands). If the borrower was not one of the five largest borrowers for one of the periods presented, the applicable column is left blank. The FHLBank had rights to collateral with an estimated fair value in excess of the book value of these advances plus the members’ capital stock over and above the collateral. Therefore, we do not expect to incur any credit losses on these advances. See Item 1 – “Business – Advances” in the annual report on Form 10-K for additional discussion on collateral held as security for all advance borrowers.

The FHLBank offers a standby credit facility (SCF) product, which is a commitment to issue an advance. SCF commitments are for terms of one year and any draws on the SCF must be fully collateralized prior to any disbursement of funds and at all times thereafter. Outstanding SCF commitments totaled $1.0 billion at March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

MPF Program – The FHLBank participates in the MPF Program through the MPF Provider, which isa division of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. Under this program, participating members of an FHLBank either sell fixed rate, size-conforming, single-family mortgage loans to the FHLBank (closed loans) or originate these same loans on behalf of the FHLBank (table funded loans). There was an increase in the MPF portfolio during the first threesix months of 2009, as new loans acquired from in-district participating financial institutions (PFIs) were more than enough to offset the amount of loans paid down during the three-monthsix-month period ended March 31,June 30, 2009. The FHLBank continued to devote resources during the first threesix months of 2009 to increase the volume of mortgage loans acquired from in-district PFIs and is committed to increasingcontinue providing a viable secondary market alternative to our members through the volume of acquired in-district mortgage loans duringMPF program. We expect the portfolio will likely continue to show modest growth for the remainder of 2009.2009 as long as conventional mortgage rates do not increase dramatically from current levels and there is not a spike in prepayments on existing mortgage loans in the portfolio.

Although the average 30-year residential mortgage note rate was lower for the second quarter of 2009 than for the second quarter of 2008 (See Table 2), the FHLBank’s average yield on mortgage loans decreasedincreased for the firstsecond quarter of 2009 to 5.174.95 percent compared to 5.264.84 percent for the firstsecond quarter of 2008. The2008 as a result of: (1) new loans being purchased at average rates higher than the average rate for the existing loan portfolio; and (2) a decrease in the net write-off of the amortization of net premiums. For the six month period ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the average yield was due to the purchase ofon mortgage loans inwas 5.06 percent and 5.05 percent, respectively. Although the first quarter of 2009 at average rates below the FHLBank’s average of existing mortgage loans. The FHLBank’s average yield on mortgage loans is expectedincreased slightly in the first six months, we expect average yields to stay flat or decrease slightly during the secondthird quarter of 2009 asas: (1) higher rate mortgage loans prepay and are replaced with newly originated lower-rate loans; and (2) moderate growth in the FHLBank increases itstotal portfolio at mortgage rates above the average for existing loans outstanding at average rates belowwill offset some but not all of the FHLBank’s averageimpact of existingprepayments. Although mortgage loans. Mortgage interest rates have risen from the April and May lows, they are expected to remain relatively low during the secondthird quarter of 2009 as the Federal Reserve continues the process of quantitative easing by acquiring MBS through its open market operations. The future direction of mortgage interest rates is difficult to determine given market uncertainty and aggressive actions by the Federal Reserve. The Mortgage Bankers Association weekly 30-year fixedcurrent historically low rate mortgage contract rate obtained from Bloomberg was 4.61 percent as of March 31, 2009, which is well below the FHLBank’s average mortgage loan rate (net of at least 25 basis point servicing fees and seven to 10 basis points of credit enhancement fees). If mortgage rates stay this low for an extended time during 2009,environment makes a large portion of the FHLBank’s existing mortgage loans could prepay or be refinancedsusceptible to lower interest rates.prepayment through refinancing. Callable debt comprises a great deal of the funding for this portfolio, which has allowed management to call the higher cost debt and replace it with new lower-cost callable debt in order to mitigate the earnings risk of rising prepayments. See Tables 4 and 5through 7 under “Results of Operations – Net Interest Income” in this Item 2 for further information regarding average balances and yields/rates and changes in interest income.

Asset Quality: The FHLBank classifies conventional real estate mortgage loans as “non-performing” when they are contractually past due 90 days or more and interest is no longer accrued. Interest continues to accrue on government-insured real estate mortgage loans (e.g., Federal Housing Administration, Veterans’ Affairs, USDA Guaranteed Rural Housing Section 502, and HUD Section 184 Indian Home Loan Guarantee Program loans) that are contractually past due 90 days or more. The weighted average FICO®2 score and loan-to-value ratio3 (LTV) recorded at origination for conventional mortgage loans held in portfolio as of March 31,June 30, 2009 was 745746 FICO with a 73.072.9 percent LTV.

The FHLBank believes it has minimal exposure to subprime loans due to its unique business model, in which the seller of the mortgage retains a portion of the credit risk of the original mortgage loan. Due to this risk-sharing feature, the FHLBank should be buying only the highest quality mortgages from its members. Under the MPF Program, the FHLBank does not fund or purchase mortgage loans that are originated as subprime or nontraditional loans (e.g., adjustable loans with teaser rates, low FICO scores/high LTVs, interest-only loans, negative amortization loans, etc.). Even though the mortgage loans owned by the FHLBank are not classified subprime or nontraditional, management has monitoring reports to track FICO, LTV and documentation type for income and employment verification. Any concerns regarding portfolio performance are addressed during the FHLBank’s Credit Underwriting and Asset Liability committee meetings.

On July 15, 2009, the MPF Provider issued a PFI Notice announcing a Temporary Loan Payment Modification Plan (the “Modification Plan”) for certain borrowers who are in default or facing imminent default on FHLBank owned MPF conventional mortgage loans originated and sold into the MPF Program prior to January 1, 2009. The Modification Plan was effective on the date of the PFI Notice and is effective through December 31, 2011. Under certain circumstances, the Modification Plan, by temporarily reducing the monthly housing payments to a sustainable level, may be the appropriate loss mitigation option for certain borrowers. The FHLBank estimates that the number of potential loans eligible for the Modification Plan to be minimal, but notes that loans currently performing (i.e., not delinquent) but facing imminent default are difficult to estimate.

2   FICO® is a widely used credit industry model developed by Fair Isaac Corporation to assess credit quality with scores typically ranging from 300 to 850 with the low end of the scale indicating a poor credit risk. A credit score of 620 is frequently cited as a cutoff point, with credit scores below that typically considered "sub-prime."
3   LTV is a primary variable in credit performance. Generally speaking, higher loan-to-value means greater risk of loss generating a default and also means higher loss severity.

MPF Allowance for Credit Losses on Mortgage Loans: The FHLBank bases its allowance on management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the FHLBank’s mortgage loan portfolio as of the Statement of Condition date. The estimate is based on an analysis of industry statistics for similar mortgage loan portfolios. Management believes that policies and procedures are in place to manage the credit risk on MPF mortgage loans.

Investments – As indicated in Table 8,12, total investments (including long-term investments, short-term investments, interest-bearing deposits and Federal funds sold) increased 11.1decreased 5.8 percent from December 31, 2008 to March 31,June 30, 2009. However,In addition, the composition of the investments changed significantly with total held-to-maturity securities decreasing from $11.1 billion at December 31, 2008 to $9.2$8.4 billion at March 31,June 30, 2009. HTMHeld-to-maturity non-MBS/CMOs investments decreased $1.4$1.5 billion while HTMheld-to-maturity MBS/CMO investments decreased $0.5$1.2 billion. The decrease in the HTMheld-to-maturity non-MBS/CMO investments can be attributedis the result of a management decision to maturing money market investments (certificates of deposit and commercial paper) that were primarily retainedclassify all new short-term security purchases as deposits attrading under SFAS 115 in order to enhance the Federal Reserve, included as interest-bearing deposits, while theFHLBank’s liquidity position. The decrease in the HTMheld-to-maturity MBS/CMO portfolio can be entirely attributed to prepayments in this portfolio. In March 2008, the Finance Board issued Resolution 2008-08. Under the provisions of the resolution, an FHLBank can request expanded MBS/CMO authority from three times the total capital ofportfolio as the FHLBank tohas not purchased or sold any MBS/CMOs during the first six times total capital for two years, subject to certain restrictions.months of 2009. The FHLBank Topeka’s Boardbalance of Directors approved appropriate strategies to allowinterest-bearing deposits at the Federal Reserve also declined by $2.8 billion as the FHLBank began investing these funds into short-term money market investments in response to acquire additional Agency MBS/CMOsregulatory changes implemented by the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board announced on March 27, 2008, subjectMay 20, 2009 and implemented on July 2, 2009 a change in Regulation D, which resulted in the elimination of interest paid on excess reserves held in the FHLBank’s Federal Reserve account. In response to a limit of four times capital. The Finance Board notifiedthese changes the FHLBank on April 10, 2008,began the process of reducing its balances at the Federal Reserve and investing these funds in short term money market investments. These investments include commercial paper, certificates of deposits and Federal funds sold with counterparties that it could move forward with the Agency MBS/CMO purchases, consistent withmeet FHFA regulations and FHLBank policy. As stated previously, newly acquired short-term investment securities (commercial paper and certificates of deposit) were classified as trading securities under SFAS 115 in order to enhance the FHLBank’s notice. As of Marchliquidity position. Consequently, the FHLBank’s trading securities increased from $4.7 billion on December 31, 2009, the FHLBank had a carrying value of $7.22008 to $7.7 billion for its regular MBS/CMO portfolio and $2.4 billion for its expanded portfolio of MBS/CMO securities.on June 30, 2009.

Short-term investments (interest-bearing deposits, Federal funds sold, certificates of deposit and commercial paper) are generally used by the FHLBank for liquidity purposes as well as to leverage capital during periods when advances decline and capital stock is not likewise reduced. At March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, these short-term investments represented 4742 percent and 38 percent, respectively, of total investments. This concentration in short-term investments, along with a significant amount of variable rate longer termlong-term investments, results in the yields on the investments adjusting relatively quickly to changes in market rates.

The average yield on investments was 1.911.62 percent during the firstsecond quarter of 2009, compared to 4.283.39 percent during the firstsecond quarter of 2008. The FOMC lowered its overnight Federal funds rate from 2.25For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the average yield on investments was 1.76 percent at the end of the first quarter 2008 to a range of zero to 0.25and 3.84 percent, in December 2008.respectively. The average rate on FHLBank investments rises and falls in conjunction with the level of short-term interest rates primarily because of the short-term nature of the FHLBank’s investment portfolio. Because the FOMC decreased its target rate between the firstsecond quarter of 2008 and the firstsecond quarter of 2009, the average rate earned on FHLBank investments declined. This decline in the average rate earned on FHLBank investments, however, would have been larger had the FHLBank not increased its MBS investmentMBS/CMO portfolio from $7.1 billion as of March 31, 2008 (34a percent of total investments) to $9.6 billioninvestments not increased from 42.9 percent as of March 31, 2009 (45June 30, 2008 to 48.5 percent as of June 30, 2009. The percentage increase in the MBS/CMO portfolio is attributable to the decrease in total investments).assets caused by a significant decline in advances over that period. See Tables 4 and 5through 7 under “Results of Operations – Net Interest Income” in this Item 2 for further information regarding average balances and yields and changes in interest income.

During 2008, the FHLBank experienced a significant decline in the estimated fair values of its private-label MBS due to interest rate volatility, illiquidity in the marketplace and credit deterioration in the U.S. mortgage markets. This decline continued into the first quarter of 2009; however, during the firstsecond quarter, of 2009, the pace of the decline slowed appreciably and the fair value of many of the FHLBank’s prime, early vintage private-label MBS actually improved from year-end 2008. Significant declines in fair values experienced during 2008 were particularly evident across the market for private-label MBS securitized in 2006 and 2007 primarily because of less stringent underwriting standards used by mortgage originators at that time.during those years. While some of the most significant declines in fair values have been in the 2006 and 2007 vintage MBS, the earlier vintages owned by the FHLBank have not been immune to the declines in fair value. Table 1924 presents the fair value as a percentage of par value of the FHLBank’s private-label MBS by year of securitization as of June 30, 2009, March 31, 2009, December 31, 2008, September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008:

1Includes securities with a par value of $8.0 million determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2008. These securities had a total amortized cost before impairment of $8.0 million and were written down to fair value of $3.2 million at the time of impairment, December 31, 2008. The FHLBank adopted FSP FAS 115-2 effective January 1, 2009 and recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying FSP FAS 115-2, totaling $3.3 million as an adjustment to the retained earnings balance at January 1, 2009 with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income. In other words, $3.3 million of the write down was related to non-credit losses.
2Includes a security with a par value of $1.7 million determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2009. This security had a total amortized cost before impairment of $1.7 million and was written down to fair value of $0.6 million at the time of impairment, March 31, 2009.

Under the FHLBank’s RMP,Risk Management Policy (RMP), acquisitions of private-label MBS are limited to securities where the geographic concentration of loans collateralizing the security are such that no single state represents more than 50 percent of the total by dollar amount. As the structure of the underlying collateral shifts because of prepayments, the concentration shifts. Thus, FHLBank management continues to monitor concentration of the underlying collateral for its private-label MBS portfolio for risk management purposes. With decreasing housing prices, especially in the states of California, Florida, Arizona and Nevada, delinquencies and foreclosures have continued to increase. Table 2227 presents the FHLBank’s geographic concentration of collateral securing private-label MBS (excluding commercial MBS) as of March 31,June 30, 2009 for those states with concentrations of greater than five percent or greater  of total private-label MBS (excluding commercial MBS):

As of March 31,June 30, 2009, the FHLBank held private-label MBS covered by monoline insurance companies, which provide credit support for these securities. Credit support is defined as the percentage of subordinate tranches and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will absorb losses before the holders of the security will incur losses. Table 2328 presents coverage amounts and unrecognized losses on the private-label MBS covered by monoline bond insurance as of March 31,June 30, 2009 (in thousands):

Other-than-temporary Impairment. As mentioned previously, the FHLBank experienced a significant decline in the estimated fair values of its private-label MBS due to interest rate volatility, illiquidity in the marketplace and credit deterioration in the U.S. mortgage markets during 2008, which continued to some extent into the first quartersix months of 2009. With the current disrupted market environment, the fair values of the majority of the FHLBank’s private-label MBS in its held-to-maturity portfolio were below amortized cost at March 31,June 30, 2009. However, based upon the FHLBank’s other-than-temporary impairment evaluation process that results in a conclusion as to whether a credit loss exists (present value of the FHLBank’s best estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of each individual security), we have concluded that, except for six private-label MBS upon which we have recognized other-than-temporary impairment, there is no evidence of a likely credit lossloss; there is no intent to sell, nor is there any requirement to sell; and, thus no other-than-temporary impairment for the remaining private-label MBS that have declined in value.

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” under this Item 2 and Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements under Item 1 – “Financial Statements” for additional information on the FHLBank’s other-than-temporary impairment evaluation process. As discussed more fully in “Recent Developments” under this Item 2, the FHLBank adopted FSP FAS 115-2 as of January 1, 2009 and implemented a process for the determination of OTTI under an approach that was consistent with the other 11 FHLBanks in accordance with guidance issued by the Finance Agency. As a result, the FHLBank contracted with the FHLBank of San Francisco to perform cash flow analysis utilizing key modeling assumptions provided by the FHLBank of San Francisco for private-label MBS with fair values below amortized cost and considered “at-risk” (see definition in Note 4 of the quarterly footnotes).Notes to Financial Statements under Item 1 – “Financial Statements”), the FHLBank contracted with the FHLBank of San Francisco in the first quarter of 2009 to provide expected cash flows utilizing key modeling assumptions provided by the FHLBank of San Francisco that were reviewed by the FHLBank. The FHLBank contracted with the FHLBank of Dallas in the second quarter of 2009 to provide the expected cash flows utilizing key modeling assumptions developed by an OTTI Governance Committee of the FHLBanks for private-label MBS with fair values below amortized cost and considered at-risk. However, the FHLBank of San Francisco continued to provide the expected cash flows for all private-label MBS that were commonly held among the FHLBanks (owned by two or more FHLBanks) with fair values below amortized cost and considered at-risk, which included private-label MBS held by us. The same risk models and loan information data sources were used each quarter.

The six securities upon which we recognized other-than-temporary impairment included five private-label MBS that had previously been identified as other-than-temporarily impaired in 2008 and one private-label MBS that was first identified as other-than-temporarily impaired in the first quarter 2009. The FHLBank recognized other-than-temporary impairment losses of $1.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 related to this private-label MBS. This security had a total amortized cost of $1.7 million before impairment and a total estimated fair value of $0.6 million at the time of impairment. It was determined that the claims paying ability of the monoline insurer backing the underlying mortgages on this security had diminishedNo additional securities were identified as other-than-temporarily impaired in the firstsecond quarter of 2009, andbut there was not sufficienta slight credit deterioration in one of the six OTTI securities that resulted in $18,000 of OTTI related to cover all outstanding claims.credit losses that was expensed through income during the second quarter. While the remainder of the FHLBank’s held-to-maturity securities portfolio has also seen a decline in fair value as of March 31,June 30, 2009, the decline is considered temporary because (1) the FHLBank does not have the intent to sell the securities; (2) it is not more likely than not that the FHLBank will be required to sell the securities before anticipated recovery; and (3) the expected cash flows are likely to be collected. Table 2833 presents other-than-temporary impairments recorded in the first quarteras of June 30, 2009 by security type (in thousands).

In addition to evaluating the risk-based selection of our private-label MBS under a base case (or best estimate) scenario for generating expected cash flows, a cash flow analysis was also performed for each of the at risk securities under a more stressful housing price scenario. The more stressful scenario was designed to provide an indication of the sensitivity of the FHLBank’s at risk securities to the deterioration in housing prices beyond our base case estimates. The more stressful housing price scenario assumes a housing price forecast that is 5 percentage points lower at the trough than the base case scenario followed by a flatter recovery path. Under the more stressful scenario, current-to-trough home price declines were projected to range from 5 percent to 25 percent over the next 9 to 15 months. Thereafter, home prices were projected to increase 0 percent in the first year, 1 percent in the second year, 2 percent in the third year and 3 percent in each subsequent year. (See Note 4 of the Notes to the Financial Statements included under Item 1 – “Financial Statements” for a description of the assumptions used to determine actual credit-related OTTI.) Table 34 represents the impact on credit-related OTTI in the more stressful housing price scenario compared to actual credit-related OTTI recorded using base-case housing price index (HPI) assumptions (dollar amounts in thousands):

Deposits – The FHLBank offers deposit programs for the benefit of its members and certain other qualifying non-members. Deposit products offered include demand and overnight deposits, short-term CDs and a limited number of non-interest-bearing products. The annualized average rate paid on deposits was 0.580.26 percent for the firstsecond quarter of 2009 and 3.112.05 percent for the firstsecond quarter of 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the annualized average rate paid on deposits was 0.42 percent and 2.64 percent, respectively. The average rate paid on deposits changed in tandem with changing short-term interest rates during and between those periods. Most deposits are demand or overnight deposits, and the FHLBank, as a matter of prudence, holds short-term assets with maturities similar to the deposits.

Consolidated Obligations – Consolidated obligations are the joint and several debt obligations of the 12 FHLBanks and consist of bonds and discount notes. Consolidated obligations represent the primary source of liabilities used by the FHLBank to fund advances, mortgage loans and investments. As noted under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk – Interest Rate Risk Management” under Item 3, the FHLBank uses debt with a variety of maturities and option characteristics to manage its duration of equity and interest rate risk profile. The FHLBank makes extensive use of derivative transactions, executed in conjunction with specific consolidated obligation debt issues, to synthetically reconfigure funding terms and costs.

During the first threesix months of 2009, the FHLBank’s total consolidated obligation balances decreased asas: (1) funding needs for advances decreased, prepayments on(2) MBS/CMO investments prepaid and mortgage loans increased,were not replaced, and (3) the FHLBank reduced its leverage target in response to new liquidity guidelines issued by the Finance Agencylimited investment alternatives and in order to ensure member capital stock redemption requests could be repurchased on March 6, 2009 (see Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity” in the annual report on Form 10-K incorporated herein by this reference, for additional discussion). While outstandinga same-day basis. Total consolidated obligationsobligation balances decreased 11.621.0 percent from December 31, 2008 to March 31,June 30, 2009 (see Table 8), the12) with discount notes decreasing by $10.6 billion and bonds decreasing by only $0.6 billion during this period. The funding mix between discount notes and bonds changed over the period. Discount notes decreased by $5.8 billion and bonds decreased by $0.4 billion from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009. The reason for the change in the funding mix was that as funding needs declined in the first quarter of 2009,significantly during this period because maturing obligations, most of which weremainly discount notes funding short-term assets (mostly short-term advances that were repaid and not replaced with new advances), were not replaced. Additionally, reduction of advance demand from our members was primarily in short-term advance products funded with consolidated obligation discount notes.
The average annualized effective rate paid on consolidated obligations was 1.561.29 percent for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 3.922.74 percent for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the average annualized effective rate paid on consolidated obligations was 1.44 percent and 3.32 percent, respectively. The average effective rate paid on consolidated obligations decreased primarily in response to decreasing short-term market interest rates.rates and improving spreads relative to similar term swaps and U.S. Treasury instruments. As reflected in Table 2, short-term interest rates (overnight Federal funds and three-month LIBOR) declined significantly, on average, from the first six months of 2008 to the same period in 2009. At the same time, the spread between the on-the-run FHLBank two-year bullet and the two-year Treasury note was 72 basis points as of June 30, 2008, widening to 82 basis points as of December 31, 2008 and improving to 33 basis points as of June 30, 2009. The spread between the on-the-run FHLBank five-year bullet and the five-year Treasury note was 93 basis points as of June 30, 2008, widening to 130 basis points as of December 31, 2008 and improving to 60 basis points as of June 30, 2009.

The FHLBank has consciously increased the optionality in the liability portfolios used to fund fixed rate assets with prepayment characteristics (e.g., fixed rate MBS/CMOCMOs and MPF mortgage loans) with prepayment characteristics.. Total unswapped callable consolidated obligations increased from $2.9 billion as of December 31, 2008 to $3.4$3.7 billion as of March 31,June 30, 2009. This increased optionality will allow the FHLBank to reduce our liability balances in response to asset prepayments.prepayments as well as call debt and replace it at lower interest rates should interest rates decline.

As mentioned in the “Financial Market Trends” section, investors remained strongly inclined toward high quality, short-term investments. Primarily due to the implicit support from the U.S. government, investors continue to view short-term FHLBank consolidated obligations as carrying a strong credit profile. This has resulted in strong demand for FHLBank discount notes and short-term bonds. As a result of strong demand, the cost to issue short-term consolidated obligations remained low throughout the first quartersix months of 2009. We are, however, unsure how long these low costs will persist. We anticipate that demand for short-term consolidated obligations will fall and yields paid to investors will rise as investors regain confidence in higher yielding financial instruments. TheAdditionally, the cost of consolidated obligations relative to LIBOR for terms of two years or greater remains relatively high. This appearsimproved in the second quarter of 2009 and is approaching levels experienced prior to be caused by the decreased liquidityfinancial market disruptions in the fall of term2008. We believe this improvement is primarily the result of the Federal Reserve Bank’s direct purchases of FHLBank consolidated obligations increased competitionand, secondarily, from improving financial market conditions. The program to purchase Agency debentures is capped at $200 billion and is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2009 (see further discussion in thesethis Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Market Trends”). Once the target amount has been purchased or when the program expires, the cost to issue FHLBank consolidated obligations, especially those with terms fromof two years or greater, is likely to increase. However, because of the Treasury, other agencies,short-term maturity of its advances (including long-term adjustable rate advances tied to the FHLBank’s short-term advance rates) and other government sponsored programs, includingshort-term investments, the FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP),FHLBank continues to fund a significant portion of its advances and market concerns aboutinvestments with short-term consolidated obligation discount notes. This allows the implicit nature of FHLBank’s government support.FHLBank to adjust its balance sheet as advance demand expands and contracts.

Derivatives – All derivatives are marked to estimated fair values, netted by counterparty with any associated accrued interest, offset by the fair value of any cash collateral received or delivered and included on the Statements of Condition as an asset when there is a net fair value gain or as a liability when there is a net fair value loss. Fair values of the FHLBank’s derivatives fluctuate as both the interest rates and the type/term/notional amount of outstanding derivative transactions fluctuate. See Tables 4147 through 4450 for detailed information regarding the notional amounts and estimated fair values (includes net accrued interest receivable or payable on the derivatives) of derivative instruments.

The notional amount of total derivatives outstanding decreased from $35.2by $2.9 billion atfrom December 31, 2008 to $33.2 billion at March 31,June 30, 2009. Large decreases occurred in interestInterest rate swaps executed to hedge consolidated obligationsobligation bonds designated as fair value hedges (from $14.2decreased significantly ($4.4 billion atdecline from December 31, 2008 to $10.8 billion at March 31,June 30, 2009), but the decrease was partially offset by ana significant increase in interest rate swaps hedging the FHLBank’s cost of funds but not qualifying as fair value hedges (from $0.9($2.7 billion atincrease from December 31, 2008 to $2.7June 30, 2009). Interest rate swaps hedging convertible advances also decreased ($0.9 billion at March 31, 2009).decline) as member demand for convertible advances diminished. The overall decrease in interest rate swaps executed to hedge consolidated obligationsobligation bonds was primarily the result of the overall decrease in the balance of all consolidated obligations andassets that are adjustable or swapped to LIBOR resulting from the more favorable funding costdecreases in balances of consolidated obligation discount notes relative to swapped debt. Also, asthese assets. As reflected in Tables 4147 and 43,50, fair value interest rate swaps hedging consolidated obligation bonds with the more complex structures (fixed(interest rate callable step-up or step-down andswaps hedging complex fixed rate bonds)bonds such as range notes) decreased from $3.4by $2.1 billion atfrom December 31, 2008 to $0.7 billion at March 31,June 30, 2009 while other less-complex fair value structures (fixed rate non-callable bonds,hedging fixed rate callable bonds etc.) decreased from $10.9by $2.7 billion atfrom December 31, 2008 to $10.2 billion at March 31,June 30, 2009. The decrease in the complex structures, which usually represent the most favorable funding levels for consolidated obligation bonds swapped to LIBOR, is the result of, increased competition from other GSEs for issuance of these structures, a decrease in the market demand for these more complex structures and the FHLBank’s shift to more favorable short-term consolidated obligation discount notes.

The notional amount serves as a factor in determining periodic interest payments or cash flows received and paid, andbut does not represent the actual amount exchanged or the FHLBank’s exposure to credit and market risk. The amount potentially subject to credit loss is much less. See “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management” in this Item 2 for further information. Table 2935 categorizes the notional amount and the estimated fair value of derivatives (includes net accrued interest receivable or payable on the derivatives) by product and type of accounting treatment. The “Fair Value” category represents hedge strategies qualifying for hedge accounting treatment. The “Economic” category represents hedge strategies not qualifying for hedge accounting treatment.

Liquidity and CapitalCapital Resources
Liquidity – To meet its mission of serving as an economical short-term and long-term funding source for its members and housing associates, the FHLBank must maintain high levels of liquidity. The FHLBank is required to maintain liquidity in accordance with certain Finance Agency regulations and with policies established by management and the FHLBank’s Board of Directors. The FHLBank also needs liquidity to repay maturing consolidated obligations, to meet other financial obligations and to repurchase excess capital stock at its discretion, whether upon the request of a member or at its own initiative.

A primary source of the FHLBank’s liquidity is the issuance of consolidated obligations. The capital markets traditionally have treated FHLBank obligations as U.S. government agency debt. As a result, even though the U.S. government does not guarantee FHLBank debt, the FHLBank has comparatively stable access to funding at relatively favorable spreads to U.S. Treasury rates, especially for consolidated obligations with terms to maturity of one year or less. Theless than two years. Additionally, the cost ofon consolidated obligations relative to LIBOR for terms of two years or greater remains relatively high. This is probably dueimproved in the second quarter of 2009 and are approaching levels experienced prior to the decreased liquidityfinancial market disruptions in the last half of term2008. We believe this improvement is primarily the result of the Federal Reserve’s direct purchases of FHLBank consolidated obligations increased competition in theseand, secondarily, from improving financial market conditions. As noted previously, because the program to purchase Agency debentures is capped at $200 billion and is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2009, the cost to issue FHLBank consolidated obligations, especially those with terms from the Treasury, other agencies, and other government sponsored programs, including the FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP), and market concerns about the implicit nature of FHLBank’s government support.two-years or greater, is likely to increase. The FHLBank is primarily and directly liable for its portion of consolidated obligations (i.e., those obligations issued on its behalf). In addition, the FHLBank is jointly and severally liable with the other 11 FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on the consolidated obligations of all 12 FHLBanks. The Finance Agency, at its discretion, may require any FHLBank to make principal or interest payments due on any consolidated obligations for which the FHLBank is not the primary obligor. Although it has never occurred, to the extent that an FHLBank would be required to make a payment on a consolidated obligation on behalf of another FHLBank, the paying FHLBank would be entitled to reimbursement from the non-complying FHLBank. However, if the Finance Agency determines that the non-complying FHLBank is unable to satisfy its obligations, then the Finance Agency may allocate the non-complying FHLBank’s outstanding consolidated obligation debt among the remaining FHLBanks on a pro rata basis in proportion to each FHLBank’s participation in all consolidated obligations outstanding, or on any other basis the Finance Agency may determine.

The FHLBank’s other primary sources of liquidity include deposit inflows, repayments of advances or mortgage loans, prepayments of mortgage loans and mortgage securities, maturing investments and interest income. Primary uses of liquidity include issuing advances, funding or purchasing mortgage loans, purchasing investments, deposit withdrawals, capital redemptions or repurchases, maturing consolidated obligations and interest expense. 

CashDespite the significant decrease in total assets, cash and short-term investments, including commercial paper, increased to $10.1remained fairly stable at $7.6 billion as of March 31,June 30, 2009 fromand $7.5 billion as of December 31, 2008.2008 as the FHLBank continues to leverage its capital and maintain its liquidity at levels it considers sufficient. The maturities of the FHLBank’s short-term investments are structured to provide periodic cash flows to support its ongoing liquidity needs. During the third and fourth quarter of 2008, the FHLBank allowed short-term investments to mature and primarily retained the funds from those maturities in its Federal Reserve Bank account, which provided the FHLBank with an additional source of liquidity and interest income while allowing the FHLBank to reduce its unsecured credit exposure to non-government guaranteed counterparties. The FHLBank began reinvesting in short-term government guaranteed money market investments in the latter part of the fourth quarter 2008, but decreased this activity during the first quarter of 2009 as the number of attractive investment opportunities for the FHLBank declined. In response to the changes to Regulation D, discussed earlier in this Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Investments,” which resulted in the elimination of interest paid on excess reserves held in its Federal Reserve account, and perceived improvements and stabilization in financial markets, the FHLBank began reinvesting in overnight Federal funds and short-term money market instruments.

The FHLBank also maintains a portfolio of GSE debentures that can be pledged as collateral for financing in the securities repurchase agreement market. GSE investments totaled $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion in par value at March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. While the liquidity in the securities repurchase market appeared to have stabilized somewhat in the second quarter of 2009 and the first quarterhalf of 2009 compared to the capital market and credit crisis of the third and fourth quarter of 2008, securing funding through the securities repurchase agreements at a reasonable rate for anything other than short-term maturities remains challenging and inconsistent.

In order to assure that the FHLBank can take advantage of those sources of liquidity that will affect its leverage capital requirements, the FHLBank manages its average capital ratio to stay sufficiently above its minimum regulatory and RMP requirements so that it can utilize the excess capital capacity should the need arise. While the minimum regulatory total capital requirement is 4.00 percent (25:1 asset to capital leverage), and its RMP minimum is 4.04 percent (24.75:1 asset to capital leverage), the FHLBank managed its capital throughout 2008 in such a way as to keep its total regulatory capital ratio at or above 4.17 percent (24:1 asset to capital leverage). During the first quarter of 2009 the FHLBank reduced its leverage target to 23.5:1 (a capital ratio of 4.26 percent) to increase its excess capital capacity and to provide it with increased balance sheet flexibility. As a result, should the need arise, the FHLBank has the capacity to borrow an amount equal to at least its current capital position before it reaches any leverage limitation as a result of the minimum regulatory or RMP capital requirements. Beginning in 2009, the FHLBank increased its target capital percentage to a range of between 4.26 percent and 4.35 percent (or decreased its target leverage ratio to a range of 23.5:1 and 23:1, respectively) beginning in the first quarter of 2009 to provide additional flexibility in managing its balance sheet. As a result, should the need arise, the FHLBank has the capacity to borrow an amount equal to at least its current capital position before it reaches any leverage limitations as a result of the minimum regulatory or RMP capital requirements.

In additionThe FHLBank is subject to thefive metrics for measuring liquidity, measures mentioned above,two of which were added by the Finance Agency finalizedin March 2009 in response to turmoil in the financial markets (such guidance effective March 6,from the Finance Agency was provided to all FHLBanks through e-mails and other means and not through the issuance of formal regulations or another rulemaking process). The FHLBank is in compliance with each of these liquidity requirements. The FHLBank took steps to increase its liquidity position beginning in the last two quarters of 2008 by shortening the weighted average original days to maturity of its money market investment portfolio and by lengthening the weighted average original days to maturity of its discount notes. The FHLBank has generally maintained this enhanced liquidity position throughout the first six months of 2009 formalizing preliminary guidelines for additional liquidity measuresto ensure that it had providedcould meet the borrowing needs of its members. Specifically, the FHLBank has shortened the weighted average original maturity of its money market investment portfolio (cash at the Federal Reserve, Federal funds sold, marketable certificates of deposit and commercial paper) from 49 days as of December 31, 2008 to 44 days as of June 30, 2009. On the liability side of the FHLBank’s balance sheet, the maturity of its discount notes outstanding stood at a weighted average original days to maturity of 99 days as of December 31, 2008 and 80 days as of June 30, 2009. The weighted average days to maturity remain significantly longer than weighted average investments being funded and discount note maturities prior to the FHLBanksfinancial disruptions in the third and fourth quarters of 2008. The final guidance requires the FHLBank to maintain sufficient liquidity in an amount at least equal to our anticipated cash outflows under two different scenarios. One scenario, referred to as a roll-off scenario, assumes that we cannot access the capital markets for a period of 15 days and that during that time, members do not renew any maturing, prepaid and called advances. The second scenario, referred to as a renew scenario, assumes that we cannot access the capital markets for 5 days and that during that period we will automatically renew maturing and called advances for all members except very large, highly rated members. The new requirement is designed to enhance our protection against temporary disruptions in access to the FHLBank debt markets in response to a rise in capital markets volatility. Subsequent to the adoption of the final guidance, the FHLBank held sufficient levels of liquidity under both scenarios for all remaining days in the first quarter of 2009. These levels of liquidity were primarily achieved through the extension of its liability maturities in comparison to its asset maturities. The final guidance is not significantly impacting the FHLBank's net interest spreads in the current interest rate environment. However, we believe that the final liquidity guidance will, over time, result in increased costs because the effect of the guidance is to have liabilities with terms exceeding those of the FHLBank's assets.

65

In the third quarter of 2008, the FHLBank entered into a Lending Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the United States Department of the Treasury (Treasury) in connection with the Treasury’s establishment of a Government Sponsored Enterprise Credit Facility (GSECF) that is designed to serve as a contingent source of liquidity for the housing GSEs, including the FHLBanks. The terms of any borrowings are agreed to at the time of issuance. Loans under the Agreement are to be secured by collateral acceptable to the Treasury, which consists of FHLBank advances to members that have been collateralized in accordance with regulatory standards and mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. For additional discussion, see Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Balance Sheet Analysis – Liquidity” in the annual report on Form 10-K. As of March 31,June 30, 2009, the FHLBank has not drawn on this available source of liquidity and does not anticipate any need to utilize the GSECF. The GSECF is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2009. The expiration of this facility might reduce demand for FHLBank consolidated obligations if it results in uncertainty regarding the extent of U.S. government support of Agency debt.

In addition to the balance sheet sources of liquidity discussed previously, the FHLBank has established lines of credit with numerous counterparties in the Federal funds market as well as with the other 11 FHLBanks. The FHLBank expects to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity for the foreseeable future.

In the third and fourth quarters of 2008, the financial market and economic crises resulted in a massive “flight to quality” that resulted in increased costs in the Agency/GSE debt markets and generally limited issuance at reasonable costs to short-term consolidated obligation discount notes. Although market conditions have stabilized and improved since the fourth quarter 2008, issuance limitations for longer-term consolidated obligations persist because of increased issuance of obligations from the U.S. government and from other agencies, increased competition from government guaranteed debt programs, continuing credit concerns regarding all financial institutions, less than optimal relative LIBOR costs for longer-term debt available in the Agency/GSE debt market, and the decreased market liquidity of longer-term consolidated obligations. At this time management is unable to predict if and when financial market conditions and the Agency/GSE debt market will return to pre-crisis levels.

In response to turmoil in the financial markets, the FHLBank took steps to increase its liquidity position by shortening the weighted average original days to maturity of its money market investment portfolio and by lengthening the weighted average original days to maturity of its discount notes. The FHLBank generally maintained this enhanced liquidity position through the first quarter 2009 to ensure that it could meet the borrowing needs of its members. Specifically, the FHLBank has shortened the weighted average original maturity of its money market investment portfolio (cash at the Federal Reserve, Federal funds sold, marketable certificates of deposit and commercial paper) from 49 days as of December 31, 2008 to 29 days as of March 31, 2009 and experienced a slight reduction in the maturity of its discount notes outstanding from a weighted average original days to maturity of 99 days as of December 31, 2008 to 96 days as of March 31, 2009.

Capital – Total capital consists of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, accumulated other comprehensive income and retained earnings. Total capital decreased by 10.616.6 percent from December 31, 2008 to March 31,June 30, 2009 (see Table 8)12). The majority of the decrease in capital is attributable to the decrease in advances (decreased stock needed to support advances) in the first threesix months of fiscal year 2009.2009 and the FHLBank’s repurchase of all excess Class A Common Stock in June 2009 to ensure that the FHLBank could continue paying dividends in the form of stock. The excess Class A Common Stock was repurchased in order to ensure that the FHLBank stayed within the 1.0 percent of total assets limit for excess stock (see discussion of this requirement under this Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Capital Distributions”).

The FHLBank approved an amendment to its Capital Plan during 2008 to allow it to repurchase membership stock (Class A Common Stock) prior to the end of the six-month redemption period when a member has been closed by its primary regulator and all of its credit obligations to the FHLBank have been satisfied. The amendment was approved by the Finance Agency on March 6, 2009, and became effective on that date. The amended Capital Plan is attached to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q as Exhibit 4.1.

The FHLBank is subject to three capital requirements under provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) Act, the Finance Agency’s capital structure regulation and the FHLBank’s capital plan: (1) a risk-based capital requirement; (2) a total capital requirement; and (3) a leverage capital requirement. The FHLBank was in compliance with all three capital requirements as of March 31,June 30, 2009 (see Note 11 in the Notes to Financial Statements under Item 1).

Capital Distributions – Dividends may be paid in cash or Class B Common Stock as authorized by the FHLBank’s Board of Directors. Quarterly dividends can be paid out of current and previously retained earnings, subject to Finance Agency regulation and the FHLBank’s capital plan. Dividends were paid at average annualized rates of 2.312.33 percent and 5.254.37 percent for the quarters ended March 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Dividend rates paid by the FHLBank generally fluctuate along with short-term interest rates. The decrease in the average annualized rates is consistent withcan be attributed to the decrease in average short-term interest rates for the firstsecond quarter of 2009 compared to the firstsecond quarter of 2008.

The FHLBank has the ability under its capital plan to pay different dividend rates to the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. This differential is implemented through a mechanism referred to as the dividend parity threshold. The current dividend parity threshold is equal to the average effective overnight Federal funds rate minus 100 basis points. However, because of the low level of the effective overnight Federal funds rate, this calculation currently would result in a negative number if not floored at zero percent.

FHLBank management anticipates that dividend rates on Class A Common Stock will be at least 50 to 75 basis points above the floored dividend parity threshold for future dividend periods (i.e., 25 to 50 basis points below the average effective overnight Federal funds rate for the period) and that the differential between the two classes of stock will stay the same or increase slightly, subject to sufficient FHLBank earnings to meet retained earnings targets and still pay such dividends. While there is no assurance that the FHLBank’s Board of Directors will not change the dividend parity threshold in the future, the capital plan requires that the FHLBank provide members with 90 days notice prior to the end of a dividend period in which a different dividend parity threshold is utilized in the payment of a dividend.

1The cash dividends listed for 2009 and 2008 represent cash dividends paid for partial shares and dividends paid to former members. Stock dividends are paid in whole shares.
2For purposes of this table, dividends paid for any shares that are mandatorily redeemable have been treated as interest expense and are not treated as dividends.

The FHLBank expects to continue paying dividends primarily in capital stock for the remainder of 2009, but this may change depending on the impact of the Finance Board rule on excess stock that was published in the Federal Register on December 9, 2006. Under the rule, any FHLBank with excess stock greater than one percent of its total assets will be prohibited from further increasing member excess stock by paying stock dividends or otherwise issuing new excess stock. The FHLBank’s excess stock was 0.980.8 percent of total assets at March 31,June 30, 2009. If the FHLBank were to change its prior practice and pay dividends in the form of cash, it would utilize liquidity resources. Payment of cash dividends would not have a significant impact on the FHLBank’s liquidity position.

Risk Management
Proper identification, assessment and management of risks, complemented by adequate internal controls, enable stakeholders to have confidence in the FHLBank’s ability to meet its housing finance mission, serve its members, earn a profit, compete in the industry and prosper over the long term. Active risk management continues to be an essential part of the FHLBank’s operations and a key determinant of its ability to maintain earnings to meet retained earnings targets and return a reasonable dividend to its members. The FHLBank maintains comprehensive risk management processes to facilitate, control and monitor risk taking. Periodic reviews by internal auditors, Finance Agency examiners and independent accountants subject the FHLBank’s practices to additional scrutiny, further strengthening the process.

Effective risk management programs include not only conformance to risk management best practices by management but also incorporate board of director oversight. The FHLBank’s Board of Directors plays an active role in the enterprise risk management process by regularly reviewing risk management policies and reports on controls. In addition to the annual and business unit risk assessment reports, the Board of Directors reviews the RMP on at least an annual basis. Various management committees, including the Market Risk Analysis Committee, the Credit Underwriting Committee, the Sarbanes-Oxley Steering Committee, the Disclosure Committee and the Asset/Liability Committee oversee the FHLBank’s risk management process. For more detailed information, see Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management” in the annual report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference herein.

Credit Risk Management – Credit risk is defined as the risk that counterparties to the FHLBank’s transactions will not meet their contractual obligations. The FHLBank manages credit risk by following established policies, evaluating the creditworthiness of its counterparties and utilizing collateral agreements and settlement netting for derivative transactions. The most important step in the management of credit risk is the initial decision to extend credit. Continuous monitoring of counterparties is performed for all areas where the FHLBank is exposed to credit risk, whether that is through lending, investing or derivative activities.

The FHLBank manages credit risk in its investment portfolios by purchasing long-term securities (maturities greater than one year) which carry the highest credit rating from the three NRSROs. The only deviation from the requirement is on purchases of securities of state HFAs,housing finance agencies (HFA), where the FHLBank requires that the HFA securities must receive at least the second highest credit rating from the NRSROs. Short-term securities (maturities less than one year) must have the highest short-term credit rating from all of the NRSROs and the issuer must have at least an investment grade (fourth highest or better) long-term credit rating.

Counterparty ratings are monitored daily while performance and capital adequacy are monitored on a monthly basis in an effort to mitigate unsecured credit risk on short-term investments. MBS represent the majority of the FHLBank’s long-term investments. The FHLBank holds MBS issued by Agencies, CMOs securitized by GSEs, AAA-rated private-label MBS at the time of purchase and CMOs securitized by whole loans. Some of the FHLBank’s private-label MBS have been downgraded below AAA subsequent to purchase (see Table 2025 under Item 2), but all of the downgraded securities continue to pay as expected including those the FHLBank has determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired (projected cash flow credit losses are foroccur in future periods). Approximately 7475 percent of the FHLBank’s MBS/CMO portfolio is securitized by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The FHLBank does not purchase or hold any securities classified as being backed by sub-prime mortgage loans as defined by the issuer at the time of issuance. The FHLBank does have potential credit risk exposure to MBS/CMO securities that are insured by onetwo of the monoline mortgage insurance companies should one or more of the companies fail to meet their insurance obligation in the event of significant mortgage defaults in the supporting loan collateral. Under the FHLBank's RMP, the insurer should be rated no lower than AA at the time of acquisition.acquisition; however, as noted in Table 39, rating downgrades have occurred since acquisition for both of the monoline insurers. The FHLBank monitors the credit ratings daily, performance at least annually and capital adequacy monthly for all primary mortgage insurers, secondary mortgage insurers and master servicers to which it has potential credit risk exposure. Other long-term investments include unsecured triple-A rated GSE and collateralized state and local housing finance agency securities.

The FHLBank has never experienced a loss on a derivative transaction because of a credit default by a counterparty. In derivative transactions, credit risk arises when counterparties to transactions, such as interest rate swaps, are obligated to pay the FHLBank the positive fair value or receivable resulting from the transaction terms. The FHLBank manages this risk by executing derivative transactions with experienced counterparties with high credit quality (rated A or better); by requiring netting of individual derivatives transactions with the same counterparty; by diversifying its derivatives across many counterpartiescounterparties; and by executing transactions under master agreements that require counterparties to post collateral if the FHLBank is exposed to a potential credit loss on the related derivatives exceeding an agreed-upon threshold. The FHLBank’s credit risk exposure from derivative transactions with member institutions is fully collateralized under the FHLBank’s Advance Pledge and Security Agreement. The FHLBank regularly monitors the exposures on its derivative transactions by determining the market value of positions using internal pricing models. The market values generated by the pricing model are compared to dealer model results on a monthly basis to ensure that the FHLBank’s pricing model is reasonably calibrated to actual market pricing methodologies utilized by the dealers.

The FHLBank manages counterparty credit risk through netting procedures, credit analysis, collateral management and other credit enhancements. The FHLBank requires that derivative counterparties enter into collateral agreements which specify maximum net unsecured credit exposure amounts that may exist before collateral requirements are triggered. The maximum amount of the FHLBank’s unsecured credit exposure to any counterparty is based upon the counterparty’s credit rating. That is, a counterparty must deliver collateral if the total market value of the FHLBank’s exposure to that counterparty rises above a specific level (see Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity Risk Management” in the annual report on Form 10-K incorporated herein by this reference, for details). As a result of these risk mitigation initiatives, management does not anticipate any credit losses on its derivative transactions.

The contractual or notional amount of derivatives reflects the FHLBank’s involvement in various classes of financial instruments, andbut does not measure the FHLBank’s actual or potential credit risk. The maximum credit exposure is significantly less than the notional amount. The maximum credit exposure is the estimated cost of replacing the net receivable positions for individual counterparties on interest rate swaps and forward agreements, and purchased interest rate caps, interest rate floors and swaptions, net of the value of any related collateral, in the event of a counterparty default.

The FHLBank’s credit exposure to derivative counterparties, before considering collateral, was approximately $111.9$126.0 million and $112.7 million at March 31,as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. In determining credit exposure, the FHLBank considers accrued interest receivables and payables as well as the legal right to net derivative transactions by counterparty. The FHLBank held cash with a fair value of $104.4$95.0 million and $78.2 million as collateral at March 31,as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Additionally, collateral with respect to derivatives with member institutions includes collateral assigned to the FHLBank, as evidenced by a written security agreement and held by the member institution for the benefit of the FHLBank.

Liquidity Risk Management – Maintaining the ability to meet obligations as they come due and to meet the credit needs of the FHLBank’s members and housing associates in a timely and cost-efficient manner is the primary objective of managing liquidity risk. The FHLBank seeks to be in a position to meet its customers’ credit and liquidity needs without maintaining excessive holdings of low-yielding liquid investments or being forced to incur unnecessarily high borrowing costs. Operational liquidity, or the ability to meet operational requirements in the normal course of business, is defined as sources of cash from both the FHLBank’s ongoing access to the capital markets and its holding of liquid assets. The FHLBank manages its exposure to operational liquidity risk by maintaining appropriate daily average liquidity levels above the thresholds established by its RMP. The FHLBank is also required to manage its contingency liquidity needs by maintaining a daily liquidity level above certain thresholds also outlined in the RMP and by Finance Agency regulations. Our regulatory liquidity requirement is to maintain at least five business days of liquidity without access to the capital markets.

In addition, to protect the FHLBanks against temporary disruptions in access to the debt markets, effective March 6, 2009, the Finance Agency issued additional liquidity guidelinesguidance to address the stress and instability in domestic and international financial markets. The final guidance from the Finance Agency, which was provided through e-mails and other means and not through the issuance of formal regulations or another rulemaking process, requires the FHLBank to maintain liquidity in an amount at least equal to our anticipated cash outflows under two different scenarios. One scenario, referred to as a roll-off scenario, assumes that we cannot access the capital markets for a period of 15 days and that during that time, members do not renew any maturing, prepaid and called advances. The second scenario, referred to as a renew scenario, assumes that we cannot access the capital markets for 5 days and that during that period we will automatically renew maturing and called advances for all members except very large, highly rated members. The new requirementliquidity guidance is designed to enhance our protection against temporary disruptions in access to the FHLBank debt markets in response to a rise in capital markets volatility. Subsequent to the adoption of the final guidance, the FHLBank held sufficient levels of liquidity under both scenarios for all remaining days in the first quartersix months of 2009. The FHLBank achieved compliance with these liquidity requirements primarily through the extension of its liability maturities in comparison to its asset maturities.

The FHLBank maintained ready access to the capital markets during the first threesix months of 2009 at very favorable rates for the majority of the period despite the liquidity/credit crisis in the financial markets. We experienced no liquidity issues and, in fact, the FHLBank System’s short-term borrowing costs decreased during the first threesix months of 2009 maintained a very favorable spread relative to LIBOR and U.S. Treasury obligations as compared to other AAA-rated investment alternatives.debt issuers. As reflected in TableTables 4 and 6, the FHLBank’s net interest spreadspreads improved during 2009.2009 as higher cost debt matured and was replaced in this low debt cost environment. The current favorable short-term borrowing costs are expected to return to more normal levels relative to other AAA-rated alternatives (closer to historical averages) whenas financial market conditions stabilize and the flight to quality subsides. Given the expansion of U.S. government explicitly guaranteed debt that competes with FHLBank consolidated obligations and the expected increase in the volume of competing debt issuances, we expect that current favorableCurrently, short-term borrowing costs will beginare remaining relatively constant while other market rates such as LIBOR are falling, which is beginning to increasereduce the relative to other AAA-rated alternatives during the last half of 2009.

At this time of heightened liquidity concerns in the financial markets, the FHLBank has taken steps to increase and manage its short-term liquidity in order to ensure we can meet member advance demands and other obligations on an ongoing basis without access to the consolidated obligations market for a minimum of five calendar days. These actions include: (1) shortening the weighted average original days to maturity of our short-term investments from 33 days as of September 30, 2008 to 49 days as of December 31, 2008 to 29 days as of March 31, 2009 by curtailing money market investments and increasing our cash balances in interest-bearing deposits (the increase as of December 31, 2008 was temporary as the FHLBank invested in some government-guaranteed debtspread advantage that matured during the first quarter of 2009 that were not replaced); (2) and maintaining an increase in the weighted average original days to maturity of the FHLBank’s consolidated obligation discount notes outstanding (63 days as of September 30, 2008, 99 days as of December 31, 2008 and 96 days as of March 31, 2009). These actions have created an asset-liability mismatch (assets re-pricing more quickly than liabilities) on the short end of the FHLBank’s balance sheet and resulted in a decrease in the FHLBank’sincreased net interest income in the fourth quarter of 2008 because of the steepness of the very short end of the yield curve and the fact that interest rates decreased fairly dramatically after the FHLBank initially extended its liabilities. While this asset-liability mismatch continues intoover the first quarter of 2009, the FHLBank has narrowed the mismatch by decreasing weighted average original days to maturity of the FHLBank’s consolidated obligation discount notes as indicated previously. At the same time, short-term interest rates have stabilized at relatively low levels and the high-cost debt issued late in the third quarter and early fourth quarter of 2008 matured in the first twosix months of 2009. This, in addition to the improved relative cost of consolidated obligation discount notes in the latter part of the fourth quarter of 2008 and through the first quarter of 2009, and the interest income received on excess reserves held at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City which began in October 2008, should help mitigate the impact of these liquidity measures on net interest income during the first half of 2009. For more detailed information on the FHLBank’s liquidity risk management, see Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management” in the annual report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference herein.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the FHLBank’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make a number of judgments and assumptions that affect the FHLBank’s reported results and disclosures. Several of the FHLBank’s accounting policies are inherently subject to valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments and are more critical than others in terms of their importance to the FHLBank’s results. These assumptions and assessments include the following:
§Accounting related to derivatives;
§Fair-value determinations;
§Accounting for other-than-temporary impairment of investments;
§Accounting for deferred premium/discount associated with MBS; and
§Determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.

Changes in any of the estimates and assumptions underlying the FHLBank’s critical accounting policies could have a material effect on the FHLBank’s financial statements.

71

The FHLBank’s accounting policies that management believes are the most critical to an understanding of the FHLBank’s financial results and condition and require complex management judgment are described under Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the annual report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference herein. In conjunction with the early adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 in accordance with Finance Agency guidance received on April 28, 2009 (see “Recent Developments” under this Item 2), the FHLBank changed its policy relating to accounting for other-than-temporary impairment of investments forin the first quarter of 2009.There2009. There were no other substantial changes to the FHLBank’s critical accounting policies and estimates during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2009.

Accounting for Other-than-temporary Impairment of Investments: The continued broad-based deterioration of credit performance related to residential mortgage loans and the accompanying decline in U.S. residential real estate values have increased the level of credit risk to which the FHLBank is exposed in its investments in mortgage-related securities, primarily private-label MBS. The FHLBank’s investments in mortgage-related securities are directly or indirectly supported by underlying mortgage loans. Due to the decline in values of residential U.S. real estate and difficult conditions in the credit markets, the FHLBank closely monitors the performance of its investment securities classified as held-to-maturity on at least a quarterly basis (or more frequently if a loss-triggering event occurs, such as a material downgrade by the rating agencies) to evaluate its exposure to the risk of loss on these investments in order to determine whether a loss is other-than-temporary, consistent with SFAS 115 (as amended by FSP FAS 115-1, The Meaning of Other-than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments and FSP FAS 115-2).

When the fair value of a debt security is less than its amortized cost as of the balance sheet date, FSP FAS 115-2 requires an entity to assess whether: (1) it has the intent to sell the debt security; or (2) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, an OTTI on the security must be recognized.
If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, the entire amortized cost basis of the security will not be recovered, and an OTTI is considered to have occurred. The FHLBank considers whether or not it will recover the entire amortized cost of the security by comparing the present value of its best estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. These evaluations are inherently subjective and consider a number of qualitative factors. In addition to monitoring the credit ratings of these securities for downgrades, as well as placement on negative outlook or credit watch, management evaluates other factors that may be indicative of OTTI. These include, but are not limited to, an evaluation of the type of security, the length of time and extent to which the fair value of a security has been less than its cost, any credit enhancement or insurance, and certain other collateral-related characteristics such as FICO credit scores, loan-to-valueLTV ratios, delinquency and foreclosure rates, geographic concentrations and the security’s past performance. If the FHLBank’s initial analysis identifies securities at risk of OTTI, the FHLBank performs additional testing of these investments, which are typically private-label MBS. Beginning in the first quarter of 2009, to ensure consistency in determination of the OTTI for investment securities among all FHLBanks, the FHLBanks used the same key modeling assumptions for purposes of their cash flow analysis. At-risk securities are evaluated by estimating projected cash flows using models that incorporate projections and assumptions typically based on the structure of the security and certain economic environment assumptions such as delinquency and default rates, loss severity, home price appreciation/depreciation, interest rates and securities prepayment speeds while factoring in the underlying collateral and credit enhancement. A significant input to such analysis is the forecast of housing price changes for the relevant states and metropolitan statistical areas, which are based on an assessment of the relevant housing markets. See additional discussion regarding the projections and assumptions in Note 4 of the Notes to the Financial Statements included under Item 1 – “Financial Statements.” The loan level cash flows and losses are allocated to various security classes, including the security classes owned by the FHLBank, based on the cash flow and loss allocation rules of the individual security.

In instances in which a determination is made that a credit loss (defined by FSP FAS 115-2 as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis) exists, but the FHLBank does not intend to sell the debt security, nor is it more likely than not that the FHLBank will be required to sell the debt security before the anticipated recovery of its remaining amortized cost basis (i.e., the amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss), FSP FAS 115-2 changes the presentation and amount of the OTTI recognized in the Statements of Income. In these instances, the OTTI is separated into: (1) the amount of the OTTI related to the credit loss; and (2) the amount of the OTTI related to all other factors. If the FHLBank’s analysis of expected cash flow analysisflows results in a present value of expected cash flows that is less than the amortized cost basis of a security (that is, a credit loss exists), an OTTI is considered to have occurred. If there is no credit loss, any impairment is not other-than-temporary. If the FHLBank determines that an OTTI exists, it accounts for the investment security as if it had been purchased on the measurement date of the OTTI at an amortized cost basis equal to the previous amortized cost basis less OTTI recognized in non-interest income. The difference between the new amortized cost basis and the cash flows expected to be collected is accreted into interest income prospectively over the remaining life of the investment security based on the amount and timing of future estimated cash flows (with no effect on earnings unless the security is subsequently sold or there are additional decreases in cash flows expected to be collected). See additional discussion regarding the recognition and presentation of OTTI in Note 2 of the Notes to the Financial Statements included under Item 1 – “Financial Statements” and Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Investments.”

Recent Developments
Regulatory Agency Actions
Finance Agency Issues Interim Final Rule Establishing Capital Classifications and Critical Capital Levels for the FHLBanks: On January 30, 2009, the Finance Agency issued an interim final rule to define the critical capital level for the FHLBanks, establish the criteria for each of the capital classifications identified in the Recovery Act and delineate its prompt corrective action authority over the FHLBanks. The rule’s provisions generally mirror those that have been in effect with regard to commercial banks and savings associations since 1992. The interim final rule establishes criteria based on the amount and type of capital held by an FHLBank for four different capital classifications: adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. The rule also allows the Director the discretion to take prompt corrective action with respect to any undercapitalized FHLBank. On March 26, 2009, the Finance Agency extended the comment period. Comments on the interim final rule were due by May 15, 2009.

Finance Agency Issues Guidance on OTTI: On April 28, 2009 and May 7, 2009, the Finance Agency provided the FHLBank with guidance on the process for determining OTTI with respect to private-label MBS and adoption of FSP FAS 115-2.The115-2. The goal of the guidance was to promote consistency among all FHLBanks in making such determinations, based on the understanding that investors in the consolidated obligations of the FHLBanks can better understand and utilize the information in the combined financial reports if it is prepared on a consistent basis. In order to achieve this goal and move to a common analytical framework, and recognizing that several FHLBanks intended to early adopt FSP FAS 115-2, the Finance Agency required all FHLBanks to early adopt FSP FAS 115-2 and follow certain guidelines for determining OTTI for the first quarter of 2009.OTTI.
 
Under the guidance, the

The FHLBank continues to identify private-label MBS it holds that should be subject to a cash flow analysis consistent with GAAP and other regulatory guidance. To effect consistency in this cash flow analysis, the guidance requires for the first quarter of 2009 that the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLBank of San Francisco) provideprovided the key modeling assumptions to be used by each FHLBankthe FHLBanks to produce expected cash flow analyses used in analyzing credit losses and determining OTTI for residential private-label MBS other than subprime, monoline insured and home equity private-label MBS.MBS for the first quarter of 2009. The guidance also requires the FHLBank of San Francisco to determinealso determined these key modeling assumptions for all FHLBanks based upon the guidance in FSP FAS 115-2.

In addition to using115-2 for the first quarter 2009. During the second quarter of 2009, the FHLBanks formed an OTTI Governance Committee consisting of representatives from each FHLBank. For the second quarter of 2009, the OTTI Governance Committee developed the modeling assumptions to be used by the FHLBanks to produce expected cash flows for use in analyzing credit losses and determining OTTI for residential private-label MBS.
Guidance provided by the FHLBankFinance Agency for the second quarter of San Francisco, the2009, some of which was based upon written guidance requires that the FHLBank conduct its own OTTI analysis utilizing a specified third party risk model and a specified third party detailed underlying loan information data sourceprovided for the first quarter of 2009. The guidance provides2009 and other of which was provided only through informal comments to the FHLBanks, indicated that an FHLBank may use the assumptions provided by the FHLBank of San Francisco in an alternative risk model with alternative loan information data if certain conditions are met. AnThe written guidance also indicated that an FHLBank that does not have access to the required risk model and loan information data sources or does not meet the conditions for using an alternative risk model as required under the Finance Agency guidance may engage another FHLBank to perform the cash flow analysis underlying its OTTI determination. For the second quarter of 2009, the FHLBanks of Dallas, Chicago and Indianapolis served as “mirror banks.” The FHLBank of San Francisco and the mirror banks prepared the cash flow analysis for the other eight FHLBanks, with the exception of private-label MBS that were commonly held among the FHLBanks (owned by two or more FHLBanks) for which FHLBank of San Francisco provided expected cash flows for the other 11 FHLBanks. The FHLBank of Chicago was a mirror bank but only as it related to their own private-label MBS and subprime private-label MBS for the other FHLBanks. FHLBank Topeka engaged the FHLBank of San FranciscoDallas to perform the expected cash flow analysis underlying its OTTI determination for the firstsecond quarter of 2009.

Each FHLBank is responsible for making its own determination of OTTI and performing the required present value calculations using appropriate historical cost bases and yields. FHLBanks that hold common private-label MBS are required to consult with one another to make sure that any decision that a commonly-held private-label MBS is other-than-temporarily impaired, including the determination of fair value and the credit loss component of the unrealized loss, is consistent between or among those FHLBanks. FHLBank Topeka confirmed results with all other FHLBanks with which we held commonly-held private-label MBS and recorded any applicable credit loss component consistent with all other FHLBanks as of adoption, January 1, 2009, and for the three-month period ended March 31,June 30, 2009.
 
For the three-month period ended March 31,June 30, 2009, we completed our OTTI analysis and made our determination utilizing the risk model and detailed loan information data source specified in the Finance Agency guidance, as well as the assumptions provided by the FHLBankOTTI Governance Committee.

Finance Agency Proposes Rule on Executive Compensation Limits. On June 5, 2009, the Finance Agency published a notice of San Francisco. For private-label MBS that were held in common with another FHLBank, we consulted with the other FHLBankproposed rulemaking setting forth requirements and processes with respect to the commonly held securities and verified consistency in our respective determinations regarding OTTI. See Notes 2 and 4compensation provided to executive officers of the NotesFHLBanks. The proposed rule was issued to effect sections 1113 and 1117 of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act (Recovery Act). Section 1113 addresses the authority of the Director to prohibit and withhold compensation of executive officers of the FHLBank and Section 1117 provides the Director with temporary authority to approve, disapprove or modify the executive compensation of the FHLBanks. The proposed rule also sets forth provisions on the Director’s authority to prior approve agreements or contracts of executive officers that provide compensation in connection with termination of employment. Additionally, the proposed rule sets forth provisions to ensure the FHLBanks comply with processes used by the Finance Agency in its oversight of executive compensation, including the processes that require the submission of relevant information by the FHLBanks to the Financial Statements included under Item 1 – “Financial Statements,” Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Investments” and “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” for additional information.Finance Agency. Comments on the proposed rule were due by August 4, 2009.

Other Regulatory Developments
Federal Reserve Limits Interest PaidFinance Agency Proposes Rule on Balances.Golden Parachute and Indemnification Payments. On October 9,June 29, 2009, the Finance Agency published a proposed rule addressing prohibited and permissible golden parachute payments and indemnification payments. On September 16, 2008, the Federal Reserve SystemFinance Agency published an interim final regulation on golden parachute and indemnification payments. On September 19, 2008, the Finance Agency removed certain restrictions from the rule. On September 23, 2008, the Finance Agency rescinded the aspects of the rule pertaining to indemnification payments, but left intact the regulation as it pertains to golden parachute payments. On November 14, 2008, the Finance Agency published a proposed amendment to the interim final regulation which addressed indemnification payments. On January 29, 2009, the Finance Agency published the final regulation on golden parachute payments. The proposed rule issued June 29, 2009 addresses in more detail prohibited and permissible golden parachute payments and re-proposes substantially the same indemnification payments amendment that was first proposed on November 14, 2008. Comments on the proposed rule were due by July 29, 2009.
Finance Agency Publishes Final Rule Establishing Capital Classifications and Critical Capital Levels for the FHLBanks. On January 30, 2009, the Finance Agency published an interim final rule amending Regulation D (Reserve Requirementsthat established criteria based on the amount and type of Depository Institutions)capital held by a FHLBank for four capital classifications as follows:
§Adequately Capitalized - FHLBank meets both risk-based and minimum capital requirements.
§Undercapitalized - FHLBank does not meet one or both of its risk-based or minimum capital requirements.
§Significantly Undercapitalized - FHLBank has less than 75 percent of one or both of its risk-based or minimum capital requirements.
§Critically Undercapitalized - FHLBank total capital is two percent or less of total assets.

The regulation also requested comment on whether to directestablish a fifth classification, “Well Capitalized,” and generally defined this as meeting 110 percent of the Reserve Banks to pay interest on balances held at Reserve Banks to satisfy reserve requirements and balances held in excess of required reserve balances. Consequently, as a pass-through correspondent for institutions that are eligible to receive interest from the Federal Reserve, the FHLBank has been receiving interest on its balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. On May 29, 2009, the Federal Reserve published a final rule amending Regulation D that will prohibit the payment of interest on FHLBank balances held at Reserve Banks unless they are required reserve balances by interest-eligible respondent institutions for which the FHLBank acts as correspondent. In addition, the final rule requires that the FHLBank pass such interest back to the respondents. The final rule becomes effective July 2, 2009.adequately capitalized classification.

7376

Under the regulation, the Finance Agency will make a capital classification for each FHLBank at least quarterly and notify the FHLBank in writing of any proposed action and provide an opportunity for the FHLBank to submit information relevant to such action. The Finance Agency is permitted to make discretionary classifications. The regulation delineates the types of prompt corrective actions the Finance Agency may order in the event an FHLBank is not adequately capitalized, including submission of a capital restoration plan by the FHLBank and restrictions on its dividends, stock redemptions, executive compensation, new business activities, or any other actions the Finance Agency determines will ensure safe and sound operations and capital compliance by the FHLBank.
On August 4, 2009, the Finance Agency published a final rule on Capital Classifications and Critical Capital Levels for the FHLBanks. The final rule is substantially similar to the interim final rule previously issued by the Finance Agency. The final rule maintains the four capital classifications identified in the interim final rule and provides that the Finance Agency has determined not to establish a fifth “Well Capitalized” classification. On July 29, 2009, FHLBank was notified by the Finance Agency that based upon March 31, 2009 information provided to the Finance Agency, the FHLBank meets the definition of “Adequately Capitalized.”
Changes in Financial Markets and Economic Conditions
The recentongoing U.S. and global economic downturns evidenced by the disruption in the U.S. and international financial markets, recent legislative and regulatory actions related to the bailout of the U.S. financial system and guarantees of financial institutions by foreign governments, and the continuing deterioration of the housing market have impacted the FHLBank in various ways. The impacts of these developments on the FHLBank are discussed throughout this Form 10-Q. PleaseAdditionally, please see our “Risk Factors” described in Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for a description of the risks related to the disruption in the capital and credit markets and other economic factors and their associated implications.
 
There were no additional material changes to the previously disclosed recent developments during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2009.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk Management – The FHLBank measures interest rate risk exposure by various methods, including the calculation of duration of equity and market value of equity.

Duration of Equity (DOE): DOE aggregates the estimated sensitivity of market value for each of the FHLBank’s financial assets and liabilities to changes in interest rates. In essence, DOE indicates the sensitivity of theoretical market value of equity (MVE) to changes in interest rates. A positive DOE generally indicates that the FHLBank has a degree of interest rate risk exposure in a rising interest rate environment, and a negative DOE indicates a degree of interest rate risk exposure in a declining interest rate environment. Higher DOE numbers, whether positive or negative, indicate greater volatility of market value of equity in response to changing interest rates.

Under the RMP approved by its Board of Directors, the FHLBank’s DOE is limited to a range of +5.0 to -5.0 assuming current interest rates. The FHLBank’s DOE is limited to a range of +7.0 to -7.0 assuming an instantaneous parallel increase or decrease in interest rates of 200 basis points. During periods of extremely low interest rates, the Finance Agency requires that FHLBanks employ a constrained down shock analysis to limit the forward interest rate to positive non-zero values. Since the FHLBank’s model imposes a zero boundary on post-shock interest rates, no additional calculations are necessary in order to meet this Finance Agency requirement. Limiting the downward shock in this manner is referred to as a constrained shock scenario. Flooring interest rates has the effect of creating a yield curve which is flat at zero percent from the shortest maturity out to (in one previous time period) the five-year point on the yield curve. This creates a yield curve shape that is extremely unlikely to occur in reality and the application of this assumption has produced some distortion in the reported MVE and DOE in the down shocks. This restriction is reasonable because there is a limited potential for declines in interest rates when the rate environment is extremely low.

The FHLBank’s duration of equity for recent quarter end dates is indicated in Table 39.45.

The DOE for March 31,June 30, 2009 of +3.6+3.8 in the base case scenario has declined from December 31, 2008, but remains outside management’s typical operating range of ±2.5. When comparing December 31, 2008 with March 31,June 30, 2009, the DOE in the base case and the up 200 basis point instantaneous shock scenarios decreased primarily because of asset/liability actions taken by management, ana continued improvement in MBS prices and the increase in mortgage prepayment projections that effectively shortened the duration of the MBS portfolios. The primary, and most significant duration factor, was the action taken by management wasthrough the issuance of more than $0.7 billion of longer term callable fixed rate consolidated obligations during February 2009 to replace callable debt that was called. The interest rate on the called debt could bethat was replaced at a lower cost,higher than current replacement rates, so itthe debt effectively had no duration.duration at the time it was replaced. This course of asset-liability action to replace called debt with longlonger term callable fixed rate consolidated obligations increased the duration of liabilities, thus decreasing the duration of equity by positioning the FHLBank’s balance sheet to be less asset sensitive. Further, the interest rate cap portfolio that provides a hedge of the embedded caps in the variable MBS investment portfolio, lengthened significantly as long-term interest rates rose (e.g., resulting in a steeper yield curve) and cap related volatility increased during the period. This duration lengthening is the result of the caps gaining value as the effective caps become more likely to be in the money (a steeper yield curve generally indicates higher short-term rates being expected in the future). In addition, the projection of mortgage prepayments increased significantlycontinued to be elevated as the lower rate environment that began duringFederal Reserve expanded its mortgage purchase initiative, originally announced in November 2008, from the $500 billion target to a total of $1.2 trillion in March 2009.This mortgage purchase initiative has been effective in keeping mortgage rates relatively low and December 2008 providedcontinues to provide refinancing opportunities for qualifying homeowners. Potential prepayments are typically modeled on a lag basis of two to three months to represent the time-period required to process prepayments. This increasingelevated rate of prepayment projections effectively shortened the duration of the FHLBank’s MBS portfolio, as did the continued improvement in MBS pricing. The improvement in MBS pricing reverses the trend of constant price declines during most of 2008 and shortens the duration of the MBS portfolio as an improved price causes the denominator of the duration calculation to become larger, thus causing the duration to decrease. In the down 200 basis point instantaneous shock scenario, the DOE increased primarily because of the lessening duration impact of the callable bonds. This lessening duration impact is a result of the convexity profile of the callable bond portfolio. This convexity profile and impact to duration is more thoroughly discussed below. While we monitor and manage to the DOE base and ±200 basis point instantaneous shock scenarios for asset/liability and risk management purposes, we also compute and report the ±100 basis point instantaneous shock scenarios as another indication of the FHLBank’s risk profile. The atypical long DOE results in the down 100 basis point instantaneous shock scenario as of December 31, 2008, March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 have been isolated to anomalies within the prepayment and mortgage valuation model utilized by the FHLBank. While we continue to monitor and report the DOE results generated in this scenario and are working to further explain and resolve the anomalies, we do not believe that the results are indicative of the FHLBank’s true risk position in such a scenario.
When comparing March 31,June 30, 2008 with March 31,June 30, 2009, the DOE in the base case scenario increased and the DOE in the up and down 200 basis point instantaneous shock scenarios decreased primarily becausedecreased. This shifting in DOE movements from the respective durations of the investment and funding portfolios is magnified by the significant decline in capital during the period (see Table 1 under Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”). This decline in capital caused the respective portfolio equity based weightings to shift quite dramatically, leading to an equity compositional reallocation. For instance, the base case callable bond portfolio’s absolute duration was quite similar circumstanceson June 30, 2008 as described aboveit was on June 30, 2009. However, with the increase in that actions taken by management effectively increasedcallable bonds outstanding, which leads to an increase in total liability weighting, and with the loss of capital, which leads to a magnified increase in total liability weighting, the impact to duration of liabilities over this time period which reducedequity was a significant net increase in liability duration, even though the asset sensitivityabsolute duration of the balance sheet. In addition,portfolio did not change materially. This DOE magnification changes the context with how the respective portfolio durations impact the DOE result. However, as mentioned above, the increased MBS prepayment projections and the improved MBS pricing should have caused an across the board asset duration shortening, but with the weighting shift, the MBS portfolio duration to shorten. In the down 200 instantaneous shock scenario for both time periods,became a greater percentage of overall assets, therefore the DOE decreased primarily becauseimpact of the decrease in duration of the MBS portfolio caused by the improvement in the market value of the MBS portfolio as discussed previously.actually increased.

During the past year, interest rates have declined in a near parallel fashion by around 100 basis points on average, although verysignificantly. However, the shape of the Treasury interest rate curve steepened as short-term rates (three months(two years or less) fell by 150 basis points or more causing the short end of the interest rate curve to steepen somewhat.and longer-term Treasury rates declined by less than 100 basis points. Along with the decrease in interest rates, there has also been a substantial increase in the volatility of interest rates, which tends to increase the FHLBank’s risk exposure to the caps embedded in adjustable rate MBS/CMOs.CMOs, continues to be at relatively high levels. During the first threesix months of 2009, FHLBank management issued long-term, short lock-out, fixed rate callable consolidated obligations. The long duration of these consolidated obligations helps offset the extension in the duration of the FHLBank’s assets and thus helphelps ensure that DOE remains within the approved limits, especially in the up shock scenario. The short lock-out period reduces the amount of time the FHLBank has to wait before being able to call the bonds and consequently helps protect against any significant shortening in the duration of assets caused by an increase in prepayment speeds on the FHLBank’s fixed rate MBS/CMO and mortgage loan portfolios. The FHLBank’s current and past purchases of interest rate caps and floors tends to partially offset the negative convexity of the FHLBank’s mortgage assets and the effects of the interest rate caps embedded in the adjustable rate MBS/CMOs. Convexity is the measure of the exponential change in prices for a given change in interest rates or more simply stated it measures the rate of change in duration as interest rates change. When an instrument is negatively convex, it means that its price increases as interest rates decline. When an instrument’s convexity profile decreases, it simply demonstrates that the duration profile is flattening, or that the duration is changing at an increasingly slower rate in a declining interest rate environmentrate. When an instrument’s convexity profile increases, the duration profile is steepening and decreasesis decreasing in price at an increasingly faster rate in a rising interest rate environment.rate. Duration is a measure of the relative risk of a financial instrument, and the more rapidly duration changes as interest rates change, the riskier the instrument. MBS/CMOs have negative convexity as a result of the embedded caps and prepayment options. All of the FHLBank’s mortgage loans are fixed rate, so they have negative convexity as a result of the prepayment options only. The FHLBank seeks to mitigate this negative convexity with purchased options that have positive convexity and callable liabilities that have negative convexity which offsets some or all of the negative convexity risk in its assets. While current capital market conditions make it much more challenging to manage the FHLBank’s market risk position, we continue to take measured asset/liability actions to stay within established policy.

However, as noted in Table 39,45, the base DOE for the December 31, 2008, exceeded management’s typical operating range, but also exceeded the approved 5.0 DOE threshold as established in the RMP. As referred to previously, the abnormally depressed private-label MBS prices are the primary cause for this distortion of this risk metric, since depressed prices naturally alter the duration calculation by introducing a smaller market value as the denominator. This abnormally small denominator results in a higher duration. Again, with the improved MBS prices and the issuance of callable consolidated obligations to replace called consolidated obligations during the first threesix months of 2009, the FHLBank’s DOE normalized slightly.decreased. Management continues to actively monitor the FHLBank’s DOE position and the mortgage market environment for acceptable future asset/liability management actions.

78

Whenever an established DOE limit is exceeded and management determines not to take any asset/liability management action to bring the FHLBank’s DOE back within the RMP range, the Board of Directors is advised by management and the issue is discussed at the next regularly scheduled Board of Directors’ meeting. If after discussion, the Board of Directors determines that asset/liability management action is required, the Board-approved approach is implemented by management to address the situation. Management considers the current interest rate/market price relationship for MBS to be a market anomaly and is actively monitoring the FHLBank’s DOE position and the mortgage market environment for acceptable future asset/liability management actions. Management discusses the DOE with the Board of Directors on a regular basis and the Board of Directors concurs with management’s course of action citing the current dysfunctional MBS market.

In calculating DOE, the FHLBank also calculates its duration gap, which is the difference between the duration of its assets and the duration of its liabilities. The FHLBank’s base duration gap was 1.41.5 months and 2.9 months at March 31,June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The decrease in duration gap during the first threesix months of the year was primarily the result of an increase in the duration of liabilities through the issuance of long-term callable fixed rate consolidated obligations and the decrease in duration of the MBS portfolio as discussed previously.

Market Value of Equity: MVE is the net value of the FHLBank’s assets and liabilities. Estimating sensitivity of the FHLBank’s MVE to changes in interest rates is another measure of interest rate risk. However, MVE should not be considered indicative of the market value of the FHLBank as a going concern or the value of the FHLBank in a liquidation scenario. The FHLBank generally maintains a MVE within limits specified by the Board of Directors in the RMP, which stipulates that the ratio of market value of equity to book value of equity (MVE/BVE)BVE ratio) be not less than 85 percent in the base scenario or 80 percent under a ±200 basis-point instantaneous shock in interest rates. Table 4046 shows the MVE/BVE ratio for the base case and for ±100 basis-point and ±200 basis-point instantaneous interest rate shock scenarios. As of March 31,June 30, 2009, the base case and the up 200 basis point scenario result of 7475 percent each are both below the established limits. As with the distortions in the DOE metric, the depressed MBS prices are the primary cause of the FHLBank’s low MVE/BVE measurements. The impact of the distortions in the MVE/BVE ratio have been magnified during the first six months of 2009 as the FHLBank’s capital has declined through the repurchase of excess capital stock that was created because of the decline in advance balances (the activity requirement under the FHLBank’s Capital Plan is 5.0 percent for advances). FHLBank management continues to actively monitor the FHLBank’s risk profile, including the MVE/BVE measurement, and is not taking asset/liability management or other actions at this time in order to attempt to bring the percentage back within the RMP ranges. Management discusses the MVE/BVE ratio with the Board of Directors on a regular basis and the Board of Directors concurs with management’s course of action citing the current dysfunctional MBS market.

Although there were some improvements in the price of some of the FHLBank’s MBS/CMOs during the first threesix months of 2009, unrecognized losses on the FHLBank’s held-to-maturity MBS/CMO portfolios continued to exist as MBS prices remained depressed. The mortgage market disruptions have caused the FHLBank’s estimated fair values on its MBS/CMOs to fall below amortized cost on a large number of the FHLBank’s individual securities, particularly the private-label MBS/CMOs during 2008.CMOs. The fair values of severalcertain private issue MBS/CMOs continued to decline during the first quartersix months of 2009, but not as dramatically as the declines of the previous year.during 2008. While fluctuations in interest rates and security fair values occur during the normal course of the FHLBank’s asset/liability management, the current financial market disruptions have had significant negative impacts on the estimated fair values of the FHLBank’s MBS/CMOs. For securities with fair values below amortized cost and considered “at-risk” (see definition and further discussion in Note 4 of the Notes to the Financial Statements included under Item 1 – “Financial Statements”), the FHLBank identifies its best estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected. If this estimate results in a present value of expected cash flows that is less than the amortized cost basis of a security (that is, a credit loss exists), an OTTI is considered to have occurred. If there is no credit loss, any impairment is not other-than-temporary. As a result of security-level evaluations, the FHLBank determined that six private-label MBS were other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31,June 30, 2009 because the FHLBank determined that it was likely that it would not recover the entire amortized cost of these securities. For the remainder of the FHLBank’s private-label MBS/CMOs, (1) the FHLBank does not intend to sell the securities; (2) it is not more likely than not that the FHLBank will have to sell the securities before anticipated recovery; and (3) no credit loss has been considered to occur; and thus, the decline in fair value is considered temporary.

Detail of Derivative Instruments by Type of Instrument by Type of Risk: Various types of derivative instruments are utilized by the FHLBank to mitigate the interest rate risks described in the preceding section. The FHLBank currently employs derivative instruments by designating them as either a fair value or cash flow hedge of an underlying financial instrument or a forecasted transaction; by acting as an intermediary; or in asset/liability management (i.e., an economic hedge). An economic hedge is defined as a derivative hedging specific or non-specific underlying assets, liabilities or firm commitments that does not qualify for hedge accounting but is an acceptable hedging strategy under the FHLBank’s RMP. Prior to July 1, 2008, interest rate swap relationships meeting stringent criteria and qualifying for shortcut fair value hedge accounting under SFAS 133, paragraph 68, were designated as such. Since July 1, 2008, all hedging relationships qualifying for fair value hedge accounting have been designated as long haul hedges. For all new hedging relationships, the FHLBank formally assesses (both at the hedge’s inception and monthly on an ongoing basis) whether the derivatives that are used are effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain effective in future periods. The FHLBank typically uses rolling regression analyses to assess the effectiveness of its long haul hedges. See Note 7 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities in the quarterly footnotes for information on effectiveness methods used by the FHLBank. The FHLBank determines the hedge accounting to be applied when the hedge is entered into by completing detailed documentation, which includes a checklist setting forth criteria that must be met to qualify for hedge accounting.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The FHLBank’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the FHLBank in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The FHLBank’s disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the FHLBank in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the FHLBank’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the FHLBank’s disclosure controls and procedures, the FHLBank’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the FHLBank’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. A significant change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As described in Part I – Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Legislative and Regulatory Developments,” in accordance with guidance provided by the Finance Agency regarding consistency in the FHLBanks'FHLBanks’ determination of OTTI of private-label MBS, each FHLBank iswas required to use the key modeling assumptions provided by the FHLBank of San Francisco for the cash flow analysis of each FHLBank’s private-label MBS in its determination of OTTI for such MBS.MBS in the first quarter of 2009. Such assumptions are material to the determination of OTTI and, in turn, material to the FHLBank’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, management has established procedures to review the documentation and assumptions provided by the FHLBank of San Francisco in order to determine whether such assumptions arewere reasonable. Based on this review, management has concluded that this change did not diminish the FHLBank’s internal control over financial reporting.reporting as of the end of the first quarter of 2009. During the second quarter of 2009, the FHLBanks established an OTTI Governance Committee that developed the key modeling assumptions used in the FHLBank’s determination of OTTI of private-label MBS for the second quarter as completed by the FHLBanks of Dallas and San Francisco for the FHLBank. The FHLBank participated on the OTTI Governance Committee to approve the assumptions and also established procedures to review the final documentation and assumptions developed by the OTTI Governance Committee. There were no other changes in the FHLBank’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the FHLBank’s internal control over financial reporting.
