FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF TOPEKA

Notes to Financial Statements- Unaudited

March 31,

June 30, 2014



NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION


Basis of Presentation: The accompanying interim financial statements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (FHLBank)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 instruction 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, 2013. 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 14, 2014 (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. The most significant of these estimates include the fair value of trading securities, the fair value of derivatives, the determination of other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI)OTTI on investments and the allowance for credit losses. 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 financial statements and related footnotes have been reclassified to conform to current period presentations. These reclassifications have no impact on total assets, net income, total comprehensive income, total capital or cash flows.



NOTE 2 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS AND CHANGES IN AND ADOPTIONS OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES


Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance to change the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financings to that of secured borrowings, which is consistent with the accounting for repurchase agreements. The amendments also require two new disclosures:(1) information about transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements; (2) increased transparency about the types of collateral pledged for repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The amendments are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, which is January 1, 2015 for the FHLBank. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to a have a material impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance to introduce a new revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 (January 1, 2017 for the FHLBank), including interim periods within that reporting period. The FHLBank is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it will have, if any, on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors.In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)FASB issued amendments intended to clarify when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of the residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. These amendments clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, when either: (a) the creditor

13


obtains legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure; or (b) the borrower conveys all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 (January 1, 2015 for the FHLBank). Early adoption is permitted. The guidance may be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to a have a material impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.


Joint and Several Liability:Liability. In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date. This guidance requires an entity to measure these obligations as the sum of: (1) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors; and (2) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. In addition, this guidance requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about these obligations. This guidance was effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 (January 1, 2014 for the FHLBank) and was applied retrospectively to obligations with joint and several liabilities existing at the beginning of the current fiscal year. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the FHLBank’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Other-than-temporary Impairment: For those securities for which an OTTI was determined to have occurred as of March 31,June 30, 2014 (that is, securities for which the FHLBank determined that it was more likely than not that the amortized cost basis would not be recovered), Table 3.8 presents a summary of the significant inputs used to measure the amount of credit loss recognized in earnings during this period as well as related current credit enhancement. Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before the FHLBank will experience a loss on the

2The FHLBank amortizes the credit component based on estimated cash flows prospectively up to the amount of expected principal to be recovered. The discounted cash flows will move from the discounted loss value to the ultimate principal to be written off at the projected date of loss. If the expected cash flows improve, the amount of expected loss decreases which causes a corresponding decrease in the calculated amortization. Based on the level of improvement in the cash flows, the amortization could become a positive adjustment to income.

Based on the level of improvement in the cash flows, the amortization could become a positive adjustment to income.

As of March 31,June 30, 2014, the fair value of a portion of the FHLBank’s held-to-maturity MBS portfolio was 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 that began in 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 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. For state and local housing agency obligations, the FHLBank has determined that all of the gross unrealized losses on these bonds arewere temporary because the strength of the underlying collateral and credit enhancements was sufficient to protect the FHLBank from losses based on current expectations.

Table of Contents

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). In exchange for receiving the right to call the advance on a predetermined call schedule, the borrower may pay a higher fixed rate for the advance relative to an equivalent maturity, non-callable, fixed rate advance. The borrower normally exercises its 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013 include callable advances totaling $4,683,181,000$4,535,070,000 and $5,056,133,000, respectively. Of these callable advances, there were $4,560,069,000$4,407,796,000 and $4,932,869,000 of variable rate advances as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.


Convertible advances allow the FHLBank to convert an advance from one interest payment term structure to another. When issuing convertible advances, the FHLBank may purchase put options from a member that allow the FHLBank to convert the fixed rate advance to a variable rate advance at the current market rate or another structure after an agreed-upon lockout period. A convertible advance carries a lower interest rate than a comparable-maturity fixed rate advance without the conversion feature. As of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the FHLBank had convertible advances outstanding totaling $1,680,742,000$1,677,742,000 and $1,685,242,000, respectively.


Table 4.2 presents advances summarized by contractual maturity or next call date (for callable advances) and by contractual maturity or next conversion date (for convertible advances) as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

NOTE 5 MORTGAGE LOANS


The MPF Program involves the FHLBank investing in mortgage loans, which have been funded by the FHLBank through or purchased from its participating members. These mortgage loans are government-insured or guaranteed (by the Federal Housing Administration

20


(FHA), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Rural Housing Service of the Department of Agriculture (RHS) and/or the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)) loans and conventional residential loans credit-enhanced by participating financial institutions (PFI). Depending upon a member’s product selection, the servicing rights can be retained or sold by the participating member. The FHLBank does not buy or own any mortgage servicing rights.

See Note 6 for information related to the FHLBank’s credit risk on mortgage loans and allowance for credit losses.



NOTE 6 – ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES


The FHLBank has established an allowance methodology for each of its portfolio segments: credit products (advances, letters of credit and other extensions of credit to borrowers); government mortgage loans held for portfolio; conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio; the direct financing lease receivable; term Federal funds sold; and term securities purchased under agreements to resell. Based on management’s analyses of each portfolio segment, the FHLBank has only established an allowance for credit losses on its conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio.

Roll-forward of Allowance for Credit Losses: As of March 31,June 30, 2014, the FHLBank determined that an allowance for credit losses was only necessary on conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio. Table 6.1 presents a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses for the three-month periodthree and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2014 as well as the method used to evaluate impairment relating to all portfolio segments regardless of whether or not an estimated credit loss has been recorded as of March 31,June 30, 2014 (in thousands):

The recorded investment for credit products includes only advances. The recorded investment for all other credit products is insignificant.

2

The recorded investment in a financing receivable is the UPB, adjusted for accrued interest, net deferred loan fees or costs, unamortized premiums or discounts, fair value hedging adjustments and direct write-downs. The recorded investment is not net of any valuation allowance.

3

No financing receivables individually evaluated for impairment were determined to be impaired.


Credit Quality Indicators: The FHLBank’s key credit quality indicators include the migration of: (1) past due loans; (2) non-accrual loans; (3) loans in process of foreclosure; and (4) impaired loans, all of which are used either on an individual or pool basis to determine the allowance for credit losses.

The FHLBank carries derivative instruments at fair value on its 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 periodsthree months ended March 31,June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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 presented in Table 7.3 (in thousands):

Based on credit analyses and collateral requirements, FHLBank management does not anticipate any credit losses on its derivative agreements. The maximum credit risk applicable to a single counterparty was $26,518,000$28,588,000 and $21,045,000 as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The counterparty was the same each period.


Certain of the FHLBank’s bilateral 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 an NRSRO, the FHLBank may be required to deliver additional collateral on bilateral derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all bilateral derivative instruments with derivative counterparties containing credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net derivative liability position (before cash collateral and related accrued interest) as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $169,990,000$153,622,000 and $308,776,000, respectively, for which the FHLBank has posted collateral with a fair value of $82,776,000$68,876,000 and $200,815,000, respectively, in the normal course of business. If the FHLBank’s credit rating had been lowered one level (e.g., from double-A to single-A), the FHLBank would have been required to deliver an additional $63,700,000$63,200,000 and $77,830,000 of collateral to its bilateral derivative counterparties as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.


For cleared derivatives, the Clearinghouse determines initial margin requirements and generally credit ratings are not factored into the initial margin. However, clearing agents may require additional initial margin to be posted based on credit considerations, including but not limited to credit rating downgrades. The FHLBank was not required to post additional initial margin by its clearing agents as of March 31,June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Consolidated obligation bonds are issued with either fixed rate coupon or variable rate coupon payment terms. Variable rate coupon bonds use a variety of indices for interest rate resets including LIBOR, U.S. Treasury bills, Prime and Constant Maturity Treasuries (CMT). In addition, to meet the specific needs of certain investors in consolidated obligation bonds, fixed rate and variable rate bonds may contain certain features that may result in complex coupon payment terms and call features. When the FHLBank issues structured bonds that present interest rate or other risks that are unacceptable to the FHLBank, it will simultaneously enter into derivatives containing offsetting features that effectively alter the terms of the complex bonds to the equivalent of simple fixed rate coupon bonds or variable rate coupon bonds tied to indices such as those detailed above.

The FHLBank’s participation in consolidated obligation bonds outstanding as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 includes callable bonds totaling $8,251,000,000$8,771,000,000 and $8,302,000,000, respectively. The FHLBank uses the unswapped callable bonds for financing its callable advances (Note 4)4), MBS (Note 3)3) and mortgage loans (Note 5)5). Contemporaneous with a portion 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. Table 9.2 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 March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

NOTE 10 – AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAM


The Bank Act, as amended by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, requires each FHLBank to establish an AHP.Affordable Housing Program (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. By regulation, to fund the AHP, the 12 district FHLBanks as a group must annually set aside the greater of $100,000,000 or 10 percent percent of the current year’s net earnings. For purposes of the AHP calculation, the term “net earnings” is defined as income before interest expense related to mandatorily redeemable capital stock and the assessment for AHP. The FHLBank accrues this expense monthly based on its net earnings.


The amount set aside for AHP is charged to expense and recognized as a liability. As subsidies are provided through the disbursement of grants or issuance of subsidized advances, the AHP liability is reduced accordingly. If the FHLBank’s net earnings before AHP would ever be zero or less, the amount of AHP liability would generally be equal to zero. However, if the result of the aggregate 10 percent calculation described above is less than the $100,000,000 minimum for all 12 FHLBanks, then the Bank Act requires the shortfall to be allocated among the FHLBanks based on the ratio of each FHLBank’s income for the previous year. If an FHLBank determines that its required AHP contributions are exacerbating any financial instability of that FHLBank, it may apply to the Finance Agency for a temporary suspension of its AHP contributions. The FHLBank has never applied to the Finance Agency for a temporary suspension of its AHP contributions.


Table 10.1 details the change in the AHP liability for the three-month periodsthree and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

NOTE 11 – ASSETS AND LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO OFFSETTING


The FHLBank presents certain financial instruments, including derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities purchased under agreements to resell, on a net basis by clearing agent by Clearinghouse, or by counterparty, when it has met the netting requirements. For these financial instruments, the FHLBank has elected to offset its asset and liability positions, as well as cash collateral, including initial and variation margin, received or pledged and associated accrued interest.

NOTE 12 – CAPITAL


The FHLBank is subject to three capital requirements under the provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act) and the Finance Agency’s capital structure regulation. Regulatory capital does not include accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) but does include mandatorily redeemable capital stock.

Risk-based capital. The FHLBank must maintain at all times permanent capital in an amount at least equal to the sum of its credit risk, market risk and operations risk capital requirements. The risk-based capital requirements are all calculated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Finance Agency.Only permanent capital, defined as Class B Common Stock and retained earnings, can be used by the FHLBank to satisfy its risk-based capital requirement. The Finance Agency may require the FHLBank to maintain a greater amount of permanent capital than is required by the risk-based capital requirement as defined, but the Finance Agency has not placed any such requirement on the FHLBank to date.

Total regulatory capital. The GLB Act requires the FHLBank to maintain at all times at least a 4.0 percent total capital-to-asset ratio. Total regulatory capital is defined as the sum of permanent capital, Class A stock, any general loss allowance, if consistent with GAAP and not established for specific assets, and other amounts from sources determined by the Finance Agency as available to absorb losses.

Leverage capital. The FHLBank is required to maintain at all times a leverage capital-to-assets ratio of at least 5.0 percent, with the leverage capital ratio defined as the sum of permanent capital weighted 1.5 times and non-permanent capital (currently only Class A Common Stock) weighted 1.0 times, divided by total assets.

its credit risk, market risk and operations risk capital requirements. The risk-based capital requirements are all calculated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Finance Agency.
Only permanent capital, defined as Class B Common Stock and retained earnings, can be used by the FHLBank to satisfy its risk-based capital requirement. The Finance Agency may require the FHLBank to maintain a greater amount of permanent capital than is required by the risk-based capital requirement as defined, but the Finance Agency has not placed any such requirement on the FHLBank to date.

Total regulatory capital is defined as the sum of permanent capital, Class A stock, any general loss allowance, if consistent with GAAP and not established for specific assets, and other amounts from sources determined by the Finance Agency as available to absorb losses.
Leverage capital.

Table 12.1 illustrates that the FHLBank was in compliance with its regulatory capital requirements as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock: The FHLBank is a cooperative whose members and former members own all of the FHLBank’s capital stock. Member shares cannot be purchased or sold except between the FHLBank and its members at its $100 per share par value. If a member cancels its written notice of redemption or notice of withdrawal, the FHLBank will reclassify mandatorily redeemable capital stock from a liability to equity. After the reclassification, dividends on the capital stock would no longer be classified as interest expense.


Table 12.2 provides the related dollar amounts for activities recorded in “Mandatorily redeemable capital stock” during the three-month periodsthree and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

Table 12.3 shows the amount of mandatorily redeemable capital stock by contractual year of redemption as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands). The year of redemption in Table 12.3 is the end of the redemption period in accordance with the FHLBank’s capital plan. The FHLBank is not required to redeem or repurchase membership stock until six6 months (Class A Common Stock) or five5 years (Class B Common Stock) after the FHLBank receives notice for withdrawal. Additionally, the FHLBank is not required to redeem or repurchase activity-based stock until any activity-based stock becomes excess stock as a result of an activity no longer remaining outstanding. However, the FHLBank intends to repurchase the excess activity-based stock of non-members to the extent that it can do so and still meet its regulatory capital requirements.

Excess Capital Stock: Excess capital stock is defined as the amount of stock held by a member (or former member) in excess of that institution’s minimum stock purchase requirement. Finance Agency rules limit the ability of the FHLBank to create member excess stock under certain circumstances. The FHLBank may not pay dividends in the form of capital stock or issue new excess stock to members if the FHLBank’s excess stock exceeds one percent of its total assets or if the issuance of excess stock would cause the FHLBank’s excess stock to exceed one percent of its total assets. As of March 31,June 30, 2014, the FHLBank’s excess stock was less than one percent of total assets.


Capital Classification Determination: The Finance Agency implemented the prompt corrective action (PCA) provisions of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. The rule established four capital classifications (i.e., adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized) for FHLBanks and implemented the PCA provisions that apply to FHLBanks that are not deemed to be adequately capitalized. The Finance Agency determines each FHLBank’s capital classification on at least a quarterly basis. If an FHLBank is determined to be other than adequately capitalized, the FHLBank becomes subject to additional supervisory authority by the Finance Agency. Before implementing a reclassification, the Director of the Finance Agency is required to provide the FHLBank with written notice of the proposed action and an opportunity to submit a response. As of the most recent review by the Finance Agency, the FHLBank has been classified as adequately capitalized.

Although the FHLBank uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments, there are inherent limitations in any valuation technique. Therefore, the fair values may not be indicative of the amounts that would have been realized in market transactions as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.


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. The use of different assumptions could have a material effect on the fair value estimates.


Fair Value Hierarchy:The FHLBank records trading securities, derivative assets and derivative liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis and on occasion, certain private-label MBS/ABS and non-financial assets on a non-recurring basis. The fair value hierarchy requires the FHLBank to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring 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

37


observability of the fair value measurement for the asset or liability. The FHLBank must disclose the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements are classified for all assets and liabilities.


The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

§

Level 1 Inputs –  Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the FHLBank can access on the measurement date.

§

Level 2 Inputs –  Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following: (1) quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; (2) quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; (3) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals and implied volatilities); and (4) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 1 Inputs –  Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the FHLBank can access on the measurement date.

§

Level 3 Inputs –  Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Level 2 Inputs –  Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following: (1) quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; (2) quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; (3) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals and implied volatilities); and (4) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs –  Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The FHLBank reviews its fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of certain assets or liabilities. These reclassifications, if any, are reported as transfers in/out as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occur. There were no transfers during the three-month periodsthree and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2014 and 2013.



38


The carrying value and fair value of the FHLBank’s financial assets and liabilities as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are summarized in Tables 15.114.1 and 15.214.2 (in thousands). These values 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 and liabilities.

Fair Value Measurements:Tables 15.314.3 and 15.414.4 present, for each hierarchy level, the FHLBank’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis on the Statements of Condition as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands). The FHLBank measures certain held-to-maturity securities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis due to the recognition of a credit loss. For held-to-maturity securities that had credit impairment recorded at period end for which no total impairment was recorded (the full amount of additional credit impairment was a reclassification from non-credit impairment previously recorded in AOCI), these securities were recorded at their carrying values and not fair value. Real estate owned is measured at fair value when the asset’s fair value less costs to sell is lower than its carrying amount.

NOTE 1615 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Joint and Several Liability: As provided by the Bank Act or Finance Agency regulation and as described in Note 9, consolidated obligations are backed only by the financial resources of the FHLBanks. FHLBank Topeka is jointly and severally liable with the other 11 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 $724,858,161,000$769,174,697,000 and $735,906,150,000 as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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.


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 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 the loss could be reasonably estimated, the FHLBank would charge to income the amount of the expected loss. Based upon the creditworthiness of the other 11 FHLBanks as of March 31,June 30, 2014, FHLBank Topeka has concluded that a loss accrual is not necessary at this time.


Off-balance Sheet Commitments: As of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, off-balance sheet commitments are presented in Table 16.115.1 (in thousands):

Commitments to Extend Credit: 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, 2014, andoutstanding standby letters of credit had original terms of 8 days to 10 years with a final expiration in 2020. As of December 31, 2013, outstanding standby letters of credit had original terms of 7 days to 10 years with a final expiration in 2020. Unearned fees as well as the value of the guarantees related to standby letters of credit are recorded in other liabilities and amounted to $855,000$837,000 and $996,000 as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Standby letters of credit are fully collateralized with assets allowed by the FHLBank’s MPP.Member Products Policy (MPP). Standby credit facility (SCF) commitments legally bind and unconditionally obligate the FHLBank for additional advances to stockholders. These commitments are executed for members for a fee and are for terms of up to one year. Unearned fees are recorded in other liabilities and amounted to $29,000$14,000 and $45,000 as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Advance commitments legally bind and unconditionally obligate the FHLBank for additional advances up to 24 months in the future. Based upon management’s credit analysis of members and collateral requirements under the MPP, the FHLBank does not expect to incur any credit losses on the letters of credit, SCF commitments or advance commitments.

Standby Bond-Purchase Agreements: The FHLBank has entered into standby bond purchase agreements with state housing authorities 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

43


entered into by the FHLBank expire no later than 2016, though some are renewable at the option of the FHLBank.  As of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total commitments for bond purchases were with two in-district and one out-of-district state housing authorities as well as aone participation interest in a standby bond purchase agreement between another FHLBank and a state housing authority in its district. The FHLBank was not required to purchase any bonds under any agreements during the three-month periodsthree and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2014 and 2013.


Commitments to Fund or Purchase Mortgage Loans: These commitments that unconditionally obligate the FHLBank to fund/purchase mortgage loans from participating FHLBank Topeka members in the MPF Program are generally for periods not to exceed 60 calendar days. Certain commitments are recorded as derivatives at their fair values on the Statements of Condition. The FHLBank recorded mortgage delivery commitment net derivative asset (liability) balances of $ (210,000)$456,000 and $(265,000) as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.



NOTE 1716 – TRANSACTIONS WITH STOCKHOLDERS


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 as FHLBank directors’ financial institutions and members with capital stock investments in excess of 10 percent of the FHLBank’s total regulatory capital stock outstanding, which includes mandatorily redeemable capital stock.


Activity with Members that Exceed a 10 Percent Ownership in FHLBank Capital Stock:Tables 17.116.1 and 17.216.2 present information as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 on members that owned more than 10 percent of outstanding FHLBank regulatory capital stock in 2014 or 2013 (amounts in thousands). None of the officers or directors of these members currently serve on the FHLBank’s board of directors.

Executive Level Overview
We are a regional wholesale bank that makes advances (loans) to, purchases mortgages from, and provides limited 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 Finance Agency, an independent agency in the executive branch of the U.S. government. The Finance Agency’s mission is to ensure that the housing GSEs operate in a safe and sound manner so that they serve as a reliable source of liquidity and funding for housing finance and community investment.


Our primary funding source is consolidated obligations issued through the FHLBanks’ Office of Finance. The Office of Finance is a joint office of the FHLBanks that facilitates the issuance and servicing of the consolidated obligations. The Finance Agency and the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury oversee the issuance of FHLBank debt through the Office of Finance. Consolidated obligations are debt instruments that constitute the joint and several obligations of all FHLBanks. Although consolidated obligations are not obligations of, nor guaranteed by, the U.S. government, the capital markets have traditionally considered the FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations as “Federal agency” debt. As a result, the FHLBanks have traditionally had ready access to funding at relatively favorable spreads to U.S. Treasuries. Additional funds are provided by deposits (received from both member and non-member financial institutions), other borrowings, and the issuance of capital stock.


We serve 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 based on the member’s total assets. Each member may be required to purchase activity-based capital stock (Class B Common Stock) as it engages in certain business activities with the FHLBank, including advances and Acquired Member Assets (AMA), at levels determined by management with the Board of Director’s approval and within the ranges stipulated in the Capital Stock Plan. Currently, our capital increases when members are required to purchase additional capital stock in the form of Class B Common Stock to support an increase in advance borrowings. In the past, capital stock also increased when members sold additional mortgage loans to us; however, members are no longer required to purchase capital stock for AMA activity (former members previously required to purchase AMA activity-based stock are subject to the prior requirement as long as there are unpaid principal balances outstanding). At our discretion, we may repurchase excess Class B Common Stock if there is a decline in a member’s advances. We believe it is important to manage our business and the associated risks so that we can always strive to meet the following objectives: (1) achieve our liquidity, housing finance and community development missions by meeting member credit needs by offering advances, supporting residential mortgage lending through the MPF Program and through other products; (2) repurchase excess capital stock in order to appropriately manage the size of our balance sheet; and (3) pay appropriate dividends.

Net income for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2014 was $22.3$28.6 million compared to $24.6$28.8 million for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2013. The $2.3 millionslight decrease was due to a $10.9$21.9 million increase in net losses from derivativeon derivatives and hedging activities, partially offset by a $4.4$15.5 million decrease in net losses on trading securities, a $2.4$4.3 million increase in net interest income before provision/reversal for loan loss, and ana $1.7 million decrease in the provisionprovision/reversal for loan losses.loss. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $50.8 million compared to $53.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The $2.7 million decrease was due to a $32.8 million increase in net losses on derivatives and hedging activities, partially offset by a $19.9 million decrease in net losses on trading securities, a $6.7 million increase in net interest income before provision/reversal for loan loss, and a $3.3 million decrease in the provision/reversal for loan loss. The increase in net losses from derivativeon derivatives and hedging activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was primarily a result of a sizable decline in the fair value of interest rate caps due to interest rate fluctuations, compared to a slight gain in the fair value of the caps reported for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

The increase in net interest income is the result of:before provision/reversal for loan loss between periods was due primarily to: (1) a decrease in the overall cost of borrowing compared to the prior year as some relatively high-rate debt matured or was called in late 2013;year; and (2) a 16 basis pointan increase in the average yield on mortgage loans. These factors resultedThe decrease in an increaseprovision for loan loss was a result of continued improvement in the net interest marginhousing market along with refinements to our allowance for the first quarter of 2014 to 0.67 percent, compared to 0.62 percent for the same period in 2013.credit loss methodology.

Total assets decreased $1.9$0.6 billion, or 5.51.9 percent, from December 31, 2013 to March 31,June 30, 2014. This decrease was due to a $1.3$1.2 billion, or 7.5 percent, decrease in advances and a $0.8 billion, or 10.115.0 percent, decrease in investment securities, partially offset by a net $0.3 billion increase in cash and investments with overnight maturities. The majority of the decreasematurities and a $0.1 billion, or 2.4 percent, increase in advances was in our line of credit portfolio, and was generally due to memberscontinuing to maintain higher levels of balance sheet liquidity, which decreases the need for advances.mortgage loans. The decrease in investment securities is due to paydowns and maturities that were not reinvested, as part of the balance sheet initiative described in greater detail below.

The increase in mortgage loans was largely a result of growth in the level of loans funded under the MPF program relative to the level of prepayments. Additionally, the number of selling PFIs increased during the quarter.


Total liabilities decreased $1.8$0.3 billion, or 5.50.9 percent, from December 31, 2013 to March 31,June 30, 2014. This decrease was primarily due to a $1.5$0.7 billion decrease in consolidated obligation bonds and a $0.2 billion decrease in deposits, which were partially offset by a $0.6 billion increase in consolidated obligation discount notes. The decrease in discount notesbonds from December 31, 2013 to March 31,June 30, 2014 was primarily a result of a decreasereplacing $0.4 billion of unswapped callable bonds with discount notes. The increase in discount notes was also the result of an increase in our line of credit product balance and short-term advances, which are generally funded by discount notes. For additional information, see Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition.”


The Class A dividend rate increased from 0.25 to 1.00 percent and the Class B dividend rate increased from 4.00 to 4.05.00 percent in the firstsecond quarter of 2014, while the Class A dividend rate remained unchanged.2014. Changes in the weighted average dividend rates over the periods ended March 31,June 30, 2014 (2.60(4.22 percent) and 2013 (2.39(2.48 percent) occurred primarily due to the Class B dividend rate increase, which was partially offset by changesincreases and a reduction in the mix of Class A and Class B stock. Factorsstock due to excess stock repurchases under our current capital management practices. Other factors impacting the stock class mix and average dividend rates include: (1) a reduction in our activity stock (Class B) requirement for AMA in the third quarter of 2013; (2) a reduction in our activity stock (Class B) requirement for advances in the second quarter of 2014; (3) weekly exchanges of excess Class B stock to Class A; and (3)(4) periodic repurchases of excess Class A stock.


Our balance sheet management strategiesstrategic business plan for the period of 2014-2016 will focusincluded balance sheet management strategies focusing on improving our core mission asset ratios and include the establishment of benchmark ratios of: (1) advances to consolidated obligations (Tier 1 ratio); and (2) advances plus AMA to consolidated obligations (Tier 2 ratio) (see further discussion of these benchmark ratios under Item 1A – Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference herein). Benchmarks established for 2014 will likely entail a reduced allocation to MBS, money market, and other investments over time through paydowns and maturities, but without the sale of any assets. We are also changingchanged our management of capital levels, including a reduction in our activity-based stock purchase requirement (see “Financial Condition“Liquidity and Capital Resources – Capital” under this Item 2), establishing periodic repurchases of excess stock and increasing our dividend payout ratio among other practices, while maintaining sufficient levels of liquidity to fulfill our mission.

In MarchJuly 2014, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) reducedannounced that they would reduce asset purchases from $35 billion per month to $25 billion per month beginning in August. The Committee is maintaining its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments from its holdings of Agency debt and Agency MBS and of rolling over maturing Treasury securities at auction. The additional reduction in asset purchases was supported by $10 billion a month and reiterated that other policy tools would be employed as appropriate, untilstrength in the overall economy, which supports continued improvement in the outlook for the labor market had improved substantially in a context of price stability.market. However, the FOMC acknowledged fiscal policy is restraining economic growth, but the extent of the impact is lessening. Minutes from the June meeting indicated that other economic conditions besides unemployment and inflation may warrant continued accommodative monetary policy, which means a continued low target for the Federal funds rate. The FOMC has stated and reiterated that there is no set schedule, and that speed and timing of asset purchase reductionsquantitative easing program would be data dependent, but market participants generally expect asset repurchases to end in the second halfOctober 2014, but gave no indication of 2014 andwhen an increase in the Federal funds rate would occur, although market participants generally expect an increase as early as 2015. The 5-FOMC has indicated that a lower than normal target rate may be necessary for an extended period of time, depending on a broad range of economic indicators. However, the rates on U.S. Treasuries and 10-year Treasury rates rose uponAgency MBS are expected to increase once the release of this information.Federal Reserve is no longer making those purchases. We issue debt at a spread above U.S. Treasury securities, so higher interest rates increase the cost of issuing FHLBank consolidated obligations and increase the cost of advances to our members and housing associates.


The market volatility that started in the last half of 2013 began to subside in late 2013 and early 2014 whichand has positively impacted demand for our longer-term debt, despite investors still being somewhat cautious about bond purchases due to the possibility of continued increases in market rates. Dealers also remain reluctant to hold significant inventories of new longer-term bullet and callable Agency debt as a result of losses incurred on debt inventories in 2013, but they continue to facilitate debt placement. The spread over U.S. Treasuries at which we can issue longer-term bullet and callable bonds has narrowed from what we experienced in 2013 due to the aforementioned market correction. We fund a large portion of our fixed rate mortgage assets and some fixed rate advances with callable bonds. For further discussion see this Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Consolidated Obligations.”


Other factors impacting FHLBank consolidated obligations:

Investors continue to view FHLBank consolidated obligations as carrying a relatively strong credit profile. Historically our strong credit profile has resulted in steady investor demand for FHLBank discount notes and short-term bonds, which allowed the overall cost to issue short-term consolidated obligations to remain relatively low throughout the first quarterhalf of 2014. The U.S. government reached an agreement to suspend the nation's borrowing limit through March 15, 2015; therefore, concerns over the federal debt ceiling limit, which could result in increased liquidity concerns for market participants, and a move back into cash or other short-term investments, have been temporarily delayed.

eased.

Net income for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2014 was $22.3$28.6 million compared to $24.6$28.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The slight decrease in net income was primarily due to the increase in net losses on derivatives and hedging activities, partially offset by the decrease in net losses on trading securities, the increase in net interest income, and the decrease in the provision/reversal for loan loss. Return on equity (ROE) was 7.48 percent and 6.10 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. The increase in ROE was a result of the changes in capital management practices that went into effect during the second quarter of 2014, which caused a decrease in average capital for the period due to the repurchase of excess stock. Dividends paid to members totaled $10.0 million for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2014 compared to $8.7 million for the same period in the prior year.

Net Interest Income:Net interest income, which includes interest earned on advances, mortgage loans, and investments less interest paid on consolidated obligations, deposits, and other borrowings is the primary source of our earnings. Net interest income increased $4.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 and $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the prior year periods. The increase in net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013both periods was due primarily to an increase in our net interest spread and margin despite a decrease in average interest-earning assets (see Table 4)Tables 4 and 6). The increases in net interest spread and margin were driven primarily by an overall decrease in the cost of borrowing and also by an increase in the average yield on mortgage loans, which is discussed in greater detail below.


The average yield on investments, which consists of interest-bearing deposits, Federal funds sold, reversesecurities purchased under agreements to resell (reverse repurchase agreementsagreements), and investment securities, remained at 1.09increased seven basis points, from 1.07 percent for the quartersquarter ended March 31,June 30, 2013 and 2014, despite a decrease into 1.14 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The average balance.yield on investments increased three basis points, from 1.08 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to 1.11 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014. While individual yields have declined on interest-bearing deposits, Federal funds sold, and reverse repurchase agreements between periods, maturities of lower yielding securities and purchases of higher yielding securities and other compositional changes in the proportion of average low yield, short-term investments has declined considerably, which led toinvestment securities portfolio increased the overall unchanged average yield on investments. Prepayments of higher rate MBS/CMOs slowed between periods, which also helped maintaininvestments for both the steady yield on investments.

The average yield on advances decreased 12 bps,three basis points, from 0.800.70 percent for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2013 to 0.67 percent for the current quarter. The average yield on advances decreased seven basis points, from 0.75 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to 0.68 percent for the current quarter.six month period. The decrease in the average yield on advances was due to growth inan increase our lowest yielding advance product relative to total advances and a decrease in prepayment fees between quarters.periods. Prepayment fees were higher in 2013 as a result of borrowers restructuring a higher level of non-callable advances into new advances and incurring a fee. Further, the low interest rate environment generally resulted in a significant portion of our advances are swapped to LIBOR so the decrease in the average one- and three-month LIBOR rates during the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013 also contributed to the decline in advance yields.

higher fee calculation for prepaid advances.


The average yield on mortgage loans increased 16 bps,13 basis points, from 3.293.25 percent for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2013 to 3.453.38 percent for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2014. The average yield on mortgage loans increased 14 basis points, from 3.27 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to 3.41 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in yield is due to a decline in premium amortization as mortgage rates have increased and prepayments on higher coupon loans have decreased (yields on interest earning assets decline as premiums are amortized; amortization accelerates as prepayments increase). We expect this yield to remain relatively steady for the next several quarters, as mortgage interest rates are not anticipated to fluctuate significantly from current levels.

levels, but our average yield on mortgage loans could decline if prepayments increase and premium amortization accelerates.


The average cost of consolidated obligation bonds decreased 9 bps,eight basis points, from 1.081.05 percent for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2013 to 0.990.97 percent for the current quarter. The average cost of consolidated obligation bonds decreased nine basis points, from 1.07 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to 0.98 percent for the current six month period. This decrease was largely a result of: (1) replacing some called and matured higher-cost consolidated obligation bonds with debt at a much lower cost in late 2013; (2) average discount note balances with much lower yields than bonds have remained steady quarter to quarter while average bond balances have declined; and (2)(3) the decrease in the average one- and three-month LIBOR rates during the first quarterhalf of 2014 compared to the first quarterhalf of 2013 (a significantconsiderable portion of our consolidated obligation bonds are swapped to LIBOR). Because we expect short-term interest rates to remain low for an extended period of time, we expect our total interest bearing liability cost to remain relatively stable over the next few quarters. When we call and replace callable debt, it generally increases interest costs in the short term due to the acceleration of the unamortized concessions on the debt when it is called because concession costs are amortized to contractual maturity.maturity using the level-yield method. However, this increase is offset by the lower rate on the new debt and the funding benefit due to the timing differences between the date the debt is called and the forward settlement date of the new debt (conventionally not exceeding 30 days). For further discussion of how we use callable bonds, see Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Consolidated Obligations.”


Our net interest spread is impacted by derivative and hedging activities, as the assets and liabilities hedged with derivative instruments designated under fair value hedging relationships are adjusted for changes in fair values, while other assets and liabilities are carried at historical cost. Further, net interest payments or receipts on interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges and the amortization/

accretion of hedging activities are recognized as adjustments to the interest income or expense of the hedged asset or liability. However, net interest payments or receipts on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting (economic hedges) flow through net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities instead of net interest income (net interest received/paid on economic derivatives is identified in Tables 6 and 78 through 11 under this Item 2), which distorts yields, especially for trading investments that are swapped to a variable rate.

Net Gain (Loss) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities: The volatility in other income (loss) is predominately driven by fair value fluctuations on derivative and hedging transactions, which include interest rate swaps, caps and floors. Net gain (loss) from derivatives and hedging activities is sensitive to several factors, including: (1) the general level of interest rates; (2) the shape of the term structure of interest rates; and (3) implied volatilities of interest rates. The fair value of options, particularly interest rate caps and floors, are also impacted by the time value decay that occurs as the options approach maturity, but this factor represents the normal amortization of the cost of these options and flows through income irrespective of any changes in the other factors impacting the fair value of the options (level of rates, shape of curve and implied volatility).


As demonstrated in Tables 6 and 7,8 through 11, the majority of the derivative gains and losses are related to economic hedges, such as interest rate swaps matched to GSE debentures classified as trading securities and interest rate caps and floors, which do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under GAAP. Net interest payments or receipts on these economic hedges flow through net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities instead of net interest income, which distorts yields, especially for trading investments that are swapped to variable rates. Net interest received/paid on economic hedges is identified in Tables 6 and 7.8 through 11. Ineffectiveness on fair value hedges contributes to gains and losses on derivatives, but to a much lesser degree. We generally record net fair value gains on derivatives when the overall level of interest rates rises over the period and record net fair value losses when the overall level of interest rates falls over the period, due to the mix of the economic hedges.

During


The economic losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were primarily a result of losses on our interest rate cap portfolio as a result of fair value changes due to the decline in long term interest rates during the first quarterhalf of 2014, compared to gains recognized during the first half of 2013 as a result of fair value changes due to an increase and steepening of the general level of the interest rate swap curve increased and steepened. This rise in interest rates and the steepening of the curve resulted in recognition ofcurve. The 2014 losses related to caps were partially offset by gains inon our interest rate swaps matched to GSE debentures, and our interest rate cap portfolio. However,although the gain in our cap portfolio due to the rise in interest rates and steepeninglevel of the curve was partially offset by a decline in cap volatility as well as the time value decay of the options resulting in minor gains during the quarter. The largest portion of the gain in the economic hedges for the first quarter of 2013 related to investments was attributable to our interest rate swaps matched to GSE debentures.has declined between periods. These GSE debentures were swapped to LIBOR at acquisition and carry fixed rates, which are high relative to LIBOR resulting in net interest paid on the interest rate swaps.

Table of Contents

The economic losses in the first quarter of 2014 were primarily a result of losses on our interest rate cap portfolio. A decline in long term interest rates in the first quarter of 2014 coupled with time decay resulted in a decline in the fair values of our caps. These losses related to investments were partially offset by gains on our interest rate swaps matched to GSE debentures. These GSE debentures were swapped to LIBOR at acquisition and carry fixed rates, which are currently higher relative to LIBOR, resulting in net interest paid on the interest rate swaps. The gains on these swaps for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were primarily attributable to a slight increase in intermediate interest rates (e.g., two-year to four-year rates) and time decay (effective amortization of the negative fair values as the interest rate swaps approach maturity), and correspond to the losses on the swapped GSE debentures, which are also due to the increase in intermediate interest rates.

While the net interest received (paid) on the associated economic interest rate swap is recorded in net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities, the interest on the underlying hedged items, the investment securities,GSE debentures, is recorded in interest income, with any changes in fair value recognized in net gain (loss) on trading securities. These swaps require us to pay a rate substantially higher than LIBOR, so their fair values are negative (i.e., we owe the swap counterparties). As these swaps approach maturity, their current negative fair values will converge to zero, resulting in an effective amortization in their negative fair values (i.e., time decay). The first quarter 2014 gains on these swaps were primarily attributable to a slight increase in intermediate interest rates (e.g., two-year to four-year rates) and time decay (effective amortization of the negative fair values as the interest rate swaps approach maturity).

The remaining driver for the fluctuation in the net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities in the first quarterhalf of 2014 was related to fair value changes on economic hedges matched to consolidated obligation bonds. We receive a fixed rate higher than LIBOR on these swaps, so the decrease and flattening of the interest rate swap curve resulted in slight gains on the economic interest rate swaps matched to consolidated obligation bonds (e.g., gains resulting from receiving an above market rate as interest rates decrease).


See Tables 3337 and 3438 under Item 3 – “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for additional detail regarding notional and fair value amounts of derivative instruments.

Net Gain (Loss) on Trading Securities: All gains and losses related to trading securities are recorded in other income (loss) as net gain (loss) on trading securities; however, only gains and losses relating to 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 portfolio fluctuates. There are a number of factors that can impact the fair value of a trading security including the movement in absolute interest rates, changes in credit spreads, the passage of time and changes in price volatility. Table 812 presents the major components of the net gain (loss) on trading securities (in thousands):

The majority of the volatility in the net gain (loss) of our trading portfolio can be attributed to fair value changes on GSE debentures. The largest component of our trading portfolio is comprised of fixed and variable rate GSE debentures, and generally all or most of the fixed rate securities are related to economic hedges. The fair values of the fixed rate GSE debentures are more affected by changes in intermediate interest rates (e.g., two-year to four-year rates) and are swapped to three-month LIBOR. The variable rate securities reset daily based on the Federal funds effective rate or monthly based on the one-month LIBOR index. During 2012 and especially in 2013, interest rates and GSE credit spreads increased, which resulted in fair value losses on the GSE debentures. During the first quarterhalf of 2014, the relative change in interest rates compared to the first quarterhalf of 2013 and the decrease in GSE credit spreads reduced the magnitude of losses in the first quarterhalf of 2014 compared to the first quarterhalf of 2013. In addition to interest rates and credit spreads, the value of these securities is affected by time decay. These fixed rate GSE debentures possess coupons which are well above current market rates for similar securities

60


and, therefore, currently valued at substantial premiums. As these securities approach maturity, their prices will converge to par resulting in a decrease in their current premium price (i.e., time decay). Given that the variable rate GSE debentures re-price daily, they generally account for a very small portion of the net gain (loss) on trading securities unless current market spreads on these variable rate securities diverge from the spreads at the time of our acquisition of the securities.


Controllable Operating Expenses: Controllable operatingOperating expenses include compensation and benefits and other operating expenses. CompensationThe largest component of operating expenses, compensation and benefits, increased by $621 thousand,$0.2 million, or 9.53.6 percent, for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2014 compared to the prior year quarter. Compensation and benefits increased by $0.9 million, or 6.5 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in the prior year. The majority of the increase is related to the hiring of additional employees and an increase in the base salaries of existing employees, with a corresponding increase in incentive compensation. We expect the number of employees to increase in 2014, primarily in the area of information technology, due to increasing technology needs.


Non-GAAP Measures

Our first quarter 2014 adjusted income (defined below), which excludes fair value changes in derivatives and trading securities as well as prepayment fees on terminated advances included in net interest margin, increased by $4.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2013 (see Table 9).

We fulfill our mission by: (1) providing liquidity to our members through the offering of advances to finance housing, economic development and community lending; (2) supporting residential mortgage lending through the MPF Program and purchases of MBS; and (3) providing regional affordable housing programs that create housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income families. In order to effectively accomplish our mission, we must obtain adequate funding amounts at acceptable interest rate levels. We use derivatives as tools to reduce our funding costs and manage interest rate risk and prepayment risk. We also acquire and classify certain investments as trading securities for liquidity and asset-liability management purposes. Although we manage the risks mentioned and utilize these transactions for asset-liability tools, we do not manage the fluctuations in the fair value of our derivatives or trading securities. We are essentially a “hold-to-maturity” investor and transact derivatives only for hedging purposes, even though some derivative hedging relationships do not qualify for hedge accounting under GAAP (referred to as economic hedges) and therefore can add significant volatility to our GAAP net income.

Derivative and hedge accounting affects the timing of income or expense from derivatives, but not the economic income or expense from these derivatives when held to maturity or call date. For example, interest rate caps are purchased with an upfront fixed cost to provide protection against the risk of rising interest rates. Under derivative accounting guidance, these instruments are then marked to fair value each month, which can result in having to recognize significant gains and losses from year to year, producing volatility in our GAAP net income. However, the sum of such gains and losses over the term of a derivative will equal its original purchase price if held to maturity.

In addition to impacting the timing of income and expense from derivatives, derivative accounting also impacts the presentation of net interest settlements on derivatives and hedging activities. This presentation differs under GAAP for economic hedges compared to hedges that qualify for hedge accounting. Net interest settlements on economic hedges are included with the economic derivative fair value changes and recorded in net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities while the net interest settlements on qualifying fair value or cash flow hedges are included in net interest margin. Therefore, only the economic derivative fair value changes and the ineffectiveness for qualifying hedges included in the net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities are removed to arrive at adjusted income (i.e., net interest settlements on economic hedges, which represent actual cash inflows or outflows and do not create fair value volatility, are not removed).

Table of Contents

Adjusted income is a non-GAAP measure used by management to evaluate the quality of our ongoing earnings. We believe that the presentation of income as measured for management purposes enhances the understanding of our performance by highlighting our underlying results and profitability. By removing volatility created by fair value fluctuations and items such as prepayment fees, we can compare longer-term trends in earnings that might otherwise be indeterminable. Therefore,


Our second quarter 2014 adjusted income (defined below), which excludes fair value changes in derivatives and trading securities as well as prepayment fees on terminated advances included in net interest margin, increased by $6.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, adjusted net income increased by $11.0 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013 (see Table 13). These increases correlate with the increase in GAAP net interest income before provision/reversal for loan loss.

Table 13 presents a reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted income (in thousands):

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. To mitigate these limitations, we have procedures in place to calculate these measures using the appropriate GAAP components. Although these non-GAAP measures are frequently used by our stakeholders in the evaluation of our performance, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP.

Table 14 presents adjusted ROE (a non-GAAP measure) compared to the average overnight Federal funds rate, which we use as a key measure of effective utilization and management of members’ capital (dollar amounts in thousands). The increase in adjusted ROE is a result of the increase in net interest margin and the change in capital management practices that went into effect during the second quarter of 2014 (see additional discussion under this Item 2 - "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Capital"). The impact of the increase in net interest margin is more apparent with adjusted ROE spread because it excludes the volatility in fair values mentioned above. The changes in our capital management plan resulted in the repurchase of excess stock, which caused a decrease in the average GAAP total capital of 19.1 percent and 8.7 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. To mitigate these limitations, we have procedures in place to calculate these measures using the appropriate GAAP components. Although these non-GAAP measures are frequently used by our stakeholders in the evaluation of our performance, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

As part of evaluating our financial performance, we adjust net income reported in accordance with GAAP for the impact of: (1) AHP assessments (equivalent to an effective minimum income tax rate of 10 percent); (2) fair value changes on derivatives and hedging activities (excludes net interest settlements related to derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting); and (3) other items excluded because they are not considered a part of our routine operations or ongoing business model, such as prepayment fees, gain/loss on retirement of debt, gain/loss on mortgage loans held for sale and gain/loss on securities. The result is referred to as “adjusted income,” which is a non-GAAP measure of income. Adjusted income is used to compute an adjusted ROE that is then compared to the average overnight Federal funds effective rate, with the difference referred to as adjusted ROE spread. Components of adjusted income and adjusted ROE spread are used: (1) to measure performance under our incentive compensation plans; (2) as a measure in determining the level of quarterly dividends; and (3) in strategic planning. While we utilize adjusted income as a key measure in determining the level of dividends, we consider GAAP net income volatility caused by gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities and trading securities in determining the adequacy of our retained earnings as determined under GAAP. Because the adequacy of GAAP retained earnings is considered in setting the level of our quarterly dividends, gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities and trading securities can play a factor when setting the level of our quarterly dividends. Because we are primarily a “hold-to-maturity” investor and do not trade derivatives, we believe that adjusted income, adjusted ROE and adjusted ROE spread are helpful in understanding our operating results and provide a meaningful period-to-period comparison in contrast to GAAP net income, ROE based on GAAP net income and ROE spread based on GAAP net income, which can vary significantly from period to period because of fair value changes on derivatives and certain other items that management excludes when evaluating operational performance because the added volatility does not provide a consistent measurement analysis.

However, the sum of such gains and losses over the term of a derivative will equal its original purchase price if held to maturity.

In addition to impacting the timing of income to adjusted income (in thousands):

Advances: Our advance programs are developed, as authorized in the Bank Act and in regulations established by the Finance Agency, to meet the specific liquidity and term funding needs of our members. As a wholesale provider of funds, we compete with brokered certificates of deposit and security repurchase agreements. We strive to price our advances relative to our marginal cost of funds while trying to remain competitive with the wholesale funding markets. While there is less competition in the long-term maturities, member demand for advances in these maturities has historically been lower than the demand for advances with short- and medium-term maturities. Nonetheless, long-term advances are also priced at relatively low spreads to our cost of funds.

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).


Advances are one of the primary ways we fulfill our mission of providing liquidity to our members and constituted the largest component of our balance sheet at March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, although balances have declined during the current quarter.2013. The 7.50.3 percent decreaseincrease in advance par value (see Table 12)16) was due to growth

an increase in our members’ other funding sources, such as deposits, and/or decreasesline of credit product and short-term fixed rate advances, which were offset by declines in loan or investment assets which resulted in repaymentadjustable rate callable advances and regular fixed rate advances. The increases were a result of advances.efforts to retain maturing advances and to promote the pricing advantages of line of credit and short-term advances when taking the dividend into consideration. We expect advances as a percent of total assets to increase as part of our strategic initiative to achieve an increased core mission asset focus (see “Executive Level Overview” under this Item 2).

Table of Contents

As of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 61.864.6 percent and 64.1 percent, respectively, of our members carried outstanding advance balances. The overall demand for our advances can be largely attributed to the demand for loans that our depository members are experiencing in their communities and their ability to fund those loans with deposit growth. It is also influenced by our insurance company members’ need for operational liquidity and ability to profitably invest advance funding. For the most part, our member institutions continue to reduce outstanding advances as liquidity remains high with deposit costs and interest rates on the short end of the curve remaining low. A large percentage of our members reduced their advance balancesHowever, the growth in advances experienced in the firstsecond quarter of 2014 and ouris a result of a smaller number of members increasing advances, which is helping to offset the members who have reduced their outstanding advances. Advances with many members could continue to decline or remain flat until greater levels of funding can be reallocated from short-term liquid assets into higheryieldinghigher-yielding loans or assets. If members reduce the volume of their advances, we expect to continue our past practice of repurchasing excess capital stock, when and as requested. In addition, when, and if, member advance demand changes, a few larger members could have a significant impact on the amount of total outstanding advances, much like what occurred during 2013.


Rather than match funding long-term, large dollar advances, we elect to swap a significant portion of large dollar advances with longer maturities to short-term indices (one- or three-month LIBOR) to synthetically create adjustable rate advances. Consequently, advances that effectively re-price at least every three months represent 78.881.5 percent and 79.2 percent of our total advance portfolio as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.


Table 1317 presents information on our five largest borrowers (dollar amounts in thousands). If the borrower was not one of our top five borrowers for one of the periods presented, the applicable columns are left blank. We have rights to collateral with an estimated fair value in excess of the book value of these advances and, therefore, do not expect to incur any credit losses on these advances.

MPF Program: The MPF Program is generally considered an attractive secondary market alternative for our members, especially the smaller institutions in our district. We participate in the MPF Program through the MPF Provider, a division of FHLBank of Chicago. Under the MPF Program, participating members can sell us conventional and government fixed rate, size-conforming, single-family residential mortgage loans.


The principal amount of new mortgage loans acquired and held on balance sheet from in-district PFIs during the first quarterhalf of 2014 was $195.2$485.2 million. These new originations and acquisitions, net of loan payments received and excluding amounts participated to other FHLBanks, resulted in an increase of 0.62.4 percent in the outstanding net balance of our mortgage loan portfolio from December 31, 2013

66


to March 31,June 30, 2014. Net mortgage loans as a percentage of total assets increased from 17.5 percent as of December 31, 2013 to 18.618.3 percent as of March 31,June 30, 2014.


The primary factors that may influence future growth in mortgage loans held for portfolio include: (1) the number of new and delivering PFIs; (2) the mortgage loan origination volume of current PFIs; (3) refinancing activity; (4) the level of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve; (5) the relative competitiveness of MPF pricing to the prices offered by other buyers of residential mortgage loans; and (6) reclassifying and selling specific mortgage loan pools. In an effort to manage the level of mortgage loans on our books, management has researched and continues to review options that may help manage the overall level of our mortgage loan portfolio. Those options include participating loan volume or selling whole loans to other FHLBanks, members, or other investors. As described below, we have pursued participations and, although we may determine to sell whole loans from time to time, we have not identified any specific loans to be sold as of March 31,June 30, 2014.


Historically, we have used the MPF Xtra product and mortgage loan participations with another FHLBank to effectively restrict the growth in mortgage loans held for portfolio and provide management with adequate means to control the amount of mortgage loan portfolio volume retained on our balance sheet to maintain our desired asset composition. The MPF Xtra product is a structure where our PFIs sell mortgage loans to FHLBank of Chicago and simultaneously to Fannie Mae. We receive a counterparty fee from FHLBank of Chicago (Fannie Mae seller-servicer) for our PFI participating in the MPF Xtra product. We discontinued our mortgage loan participations in the first quarter of 2014 because of lower origination volumes with PFIs, but we continue to consider and develop other options to manage the size of the mortgage loan portfolio while maintaining reliable support of our members’ residential lending programs.

Table of Contents

The number of approved PFIs increased from 275 as of December 31, 2013 to 281 as of March 31,June 30, 2014. During the first quarterhalf of 2014, we purchased loans from 155179 PFIs with no one PFI accounting for more than 7.96.4 percent of the total volume purchased. Although there is no guarantee, we anticipate that the number of PFIs delivering loans will continue to increase during 2014 as other secondary mortgage outlets become less competitive or less available to many of our members. Table 1520 presents the outstanding balances of mortgage loans sold to us, net of participations, (dollar amounts in thousands) from our top five PFIs and the percentage of those loans to total mortgage loans outstanding. If a PFI was not one of the top five for one of the periods presented, the applicable columns are left blank. The outstanding balance for Bank of America (non-member that acquired a former PFI and currently does not have the ability to sell loans to us under the MPF Program) has declined with the prepayment of loans held in the portfolio.

Two indications of credit quality are scores provided by Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO®) and loan-to-value (LTV) ratios. FICO is a widely used credit industry indicator to assess borrower credit quality with scores typically ranging from 300 to 850 with the low end of the scale indicating greater credit risk. In February 2010, theThe MPF Program institutedrequires a minimum FICO score of 620 for all conventional loans. LTV is a primary variable in credit performance. Generally speaking, a higher LTV ratio means greater risk of loss in the event of a default and also means higher loss severity. The weighted average FICO score and LTV recorded at origination for conventional mortgage loans outstanding as of March 31,June 30, 2014 was 751 FICO and 72.672.8 percent, LTV.respectively. See Note 6 of the Notes to the Financial Statements under Item 1 for additional information regarding credit quality indicators.


Allowance for Credit Losses on Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio –The allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans held for portfolio is based on our estimate of probable credit losses inherent in our portfolio as of the Statement of Condition date. The estimate is based on an analysis of our historical loss experience. Similarexperience and observed trends in loan delinquencies. During the second quarter of 2014, we refined the technique used to the par value of conventional mortgage loans,estimate the allowance, which resulted in a decrease in the provision for credit losses remained relatively flatand a decrease in the first quarterallowance

balance as a percent of 2014.unpaid principal balance at June 30, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013. With the recent improvements in home prices and overall decrease in our delinquency rate, we believe that our refinement in technique better reflects current economic conditions. We also believe that policies and procedures are in place to effectively manage the credit risk on mortgage loans held forin portfolio. See Note 6 of the Notes to the Financial Statements under Item 1 for a summary of the allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans, and delinquency aging and key credit quality indicators for our mortgage loan portfolio.


Investments: Investments are used to provide liquidity for our customers and their need for advances on an ongoing basis. Total investments increased 9.40.8 percent primarily due to an overall increase in short-term investments used for liquidity, including Federal funds sold and reverse repurchase agreements. This increase was more than offset by the 80.357.0 percent declinedecrease in cash from December 31, 2013, when we were unable to invest due to low yields and a general shortage of suitable investments in the market. Had we been able to invest the cash at year end, we would have experienced a decrease in short-term investments used for liquidity for the period ended June 30, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013. These investments are generally transacted with government agencies and large financial institutions that we consider to be of investment quality. The Finance Agency defines investment quality as a security with adequate financial backings so that full and timely payment of principal and interest on such security is expected and there is minimal risk that the timely payment of principal and interest would not occur because of adverse changes in economic and financial conditions during the projected life of the security.


Short-term Investments – Short-term investments, which are used to provide funds to meet the credit needs of our members and to maintain liquidity, consist primarily of reverse repurchase agreements, deposits in banks, overnight Federal funds sold, term Federal funds sold, certificates of deposit and commercial paper. The Bank Act and Finance Agency regulations set liquidity requirements for us, and our board of directors has also adopted additional liquidity policies. In addition, we maintain a contingency liquidity plan in the event of operational disruptions. See “Risk Management – Liquidity Risk Management” under this Item 2 for a discussion of our liquidity management.

Within our portfolio of short-term investments, we face credit risk from unsecured exposures. Our short-term unsecured credit investments have maturities generally ranging between overnight and three months and include the following types:

§

Interest-bearing deposits. Unsecured deposits that earn interest.
Federal funds sold. Unsecured loans of reserve balances at the Federal Reserve Banks between financial institutions that are made on either an overnight or term basis.
Commercial paper. Unsecured debt issued by corporations, typically for the financing of accounts receivable, inventories, and meeting short-term liabilities.
Certificates of deposit. Unsecured negotiable promissory notes issued by banks and payable to the bearer at maturity.

Excludes unsecured investment credit exposure to U.S. government, U.S. government agencies, and instrumentalities, GSEs and supranational entities and does not include related accrued interest.

We actively monitor our credit exposures and the credit quality of our counterparties, including an assessment of each counterparty’s financial performance, capital adequacy, sovereign support and the current market perceptions of the counterparties. General macro-economic, political and market conditions may also be considered when deciding on unsecured exposure. As a result, we may further limit existing exposures.


Finance Agency regulations: (1) include limits on the amount of unsecured credit an individual FHLBank may extend to a counterparty or to a group of affiliated counterparties; (2) permit us to extend additional unsecured credit for overnight extensions of credit, subject to limitations; and (3) prohibit us from investing in financial instruments issued by non-U.S. entities other than those issued by U.S. branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks. For additional information on our management of unsecured credit exposure,

68


see Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Investments” in our Form 10-K. As of March 31,June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all Finance Agency regulations relating to unsecured credit exposure.


We manage our credit risk by conducting pre-purchase credit due diligence and on-going surveillance described previously and generally investing in unsecured investments of highly-rated counterparties. From time to time, we extend unsecured credit to qualified members by investing in overnight Federal funds issued by them. In general, we treat members as any other market participant. However, since they are members and we have more access to specific financial information about our members, we have a lower capital requirement than for non-members, but members must still meet our credit ratings requirements. As of March 31,June 30, 2014, all unsecured term investments were rated as investment grade based on NRSROs (see Table 20)25).

We also mitigate the credit risk on investments by generally investing in investments that have short-term maturities. As of March 31, 2014, 85.9 percent of the carrying value of total unsecured investments held by us had overnight maturities.

Unsecured credit exposure continues to be cautiously placed, with exposure concentrated in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, and the Nordic countries. In addition, we anticipate continued future investment in reverse repurchase agreements, which are secured investments, and limiting unsecured exposure, especially to foreign financial institutions, as long as the interest rates are comparable (e.g., these investments were extremely low the latter half of 2013 and remained low at year end so we had limited investments in reverse repurchase agreements during that timeframe). To enhance our liquidity position, we classify our unsecured short-term investment securities in our trading portfolio, which allows us to sell these securities if necessary.


Long-term investments – Our long-term investment portfolio consists primarily of Agency debentures, MBS/ABS, and taxable state housing finance agency securities. Our RMP restricts the acquisition of investments to highly rated long-term securities. The majority of these long-term securities are Agency MBS/CMOs, which provide an alternative means to promote liquidity in the mortgage finance markets while providing attractive returns. Agency debentures are the other significant investment class that we hold in our long-term investment portfolio. They provide attractive returns, can serve as excellent collateral (e.g., repurchase agreements and net derivatives exposure), and are classified as trading securities to enhance our liquidity position. Over half of our unsecured Agency debentures are fixed rate bonds, which are swapped from fixed to variable rates. The swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting, which results in the net interest payments or receipts on these economic hedges flowing through net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities instead of net interest income. All swapped Agency debentures are classified as trading securities.


According to Finance Agency regulation codified at 12 C.F.R. §1267.3, no additional MBS purchases can be made if the amortized cost of our mortgage securities exceeds 300 percent of our regulatory capital. Further, quarterly increases in holdings of mortgage securities are restricted to no more than 50 percent of regulatory capital. During the early part of the second quarter of 2014, we purchased $269.6 million of Agency variable rate MBS/CMO securities when our ratio of MBS/CMO investments as a percentage of regulatory capital was below 300 percent. As of March 31,June 30, 2014, the amortized cost of our MBS/CMO portfolio represented 303361 percent of our regulatory capital. As of March 31,June 30, 2014, we held $161.8$153.0 million of par value in MBS/CMOs in our trading portfolio for liquidity purposes and to provide additional balance sheet flexibility. All of the MBS/CMOs in the trading portfolio are variable rate Agency securities.

Table of Contents

Major Security Types – Securities for which we have the ability and intent to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and recorded at carrying value, which is the net total of par, premiums, discounts and credit and non-credit OTTI discounts. We classify certain investments as trading securities and carry them at fair value. Changes in the fair values of these investments are recorded through other income and original premiums/discounts on these investments are not amortized. We do not practice active trading, but hold trading securities for asset/liability management purposes, including liquidity. Certain investments that we may sell before maturity are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value, although we had no available-for-sale securities as of March 31,June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. If fixed rate securities are hedged with interest rate swaps, we classify the securities as trading securities so that the changes in fair values of both the derivatives hedging the securities and the trading securities are recorded in other income. Securities acquired as asset/liability management tools to manage duration risk, which are likely to be sold when the duration risk is no longer present, are classified as available-for-sale or trading securities. See Note 3 in the Notes to Financial Statements included in Item 1 to this report for additional information on our different investment classifications including what types of securities are held under each classification. The carrying value of our investments is summarized by security type in Table 1823 (in thousands).

Ninety-sevenNinety-eight percent of our private-label MBS/ABS were securitized prior to 2006, and there are no securities in the portfolio issued after June 2006. As a result of this higher quality, well-seasoned portfolio, we have not experienced significant losses in our private-label MBS/ABS portfolio from OTTI. Table 2328 presents statistical information for our private-label MBS/ABS by year of securitization and rating (dollar amounts in thousands):

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.

Collateral delinquency is based on the sum of loans greater than 60 days delinquent plus loans in foreclosure plus loans in bankruptcy plus REO.


Other-than-temporary Impairment –Based upon our OTTI evaluation process that results in a conclusion as to whether a credit loss exists (present value of our 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 27 outstanding private-label MBS upon which we have recognized OTTI, there is no evidence of a likely credit loss in our other 109107 private-label MBS/ABS; there is no intent to sell, nor is there any requirement to sell; and, thus, there is no OTTI for the remaining private-label MBS that have declined in value.

Tables 24 and 25 present29 presents a summary of the significant inputs used to evaluate all non-Agency MBS for OTTI as well as related current credit enhancement. Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before we will experience a loss on the security. The calculated averages represent the dollar-weighted averages of all the private-label MBS investments, except for those securities that are qualitatively evaluated, in each category shown. The classification (prime, Alt-A and subprime) is based on the classification at the time of origination.

We also evaluate other non-mortgage related investment securities, primarily consisting of municipal bonds issued by housing finance authorities, for potential impairment. During the firstsecond quarter of 2014, we did not identify any non-MBS/ABS securities as having impairment.


In addition to evaluating all of our private-label MBS/ABS under a base case (or best estimate) scenario for generating expected cash flows, a cash flow analysis is also performed for each security under a more stressful housing price scenario. The more stressful scenario is designed to provide an indication of the sensitivity of our private-label MBS/ABS to the deterioration in housing prices beyond our base case estimates. The stress test scenario and associated results do not represent our current expectations and therefore, should not be construed as a prediction of future results, market conditions or the actual performance of these securities. Rather, the results from the hypothetical stress test scenario provide a measure of the credit losses that we might incur if home price declines (and subsequent recoveries) are more adverse than those projected as our best estimate in our OTTI assessment. OTTI related to credit loss under the hypothetical stress test scenario for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2014 is $0.7$0.3 million compared to $0.4$0.1 million recorded under the base case scenario.

Deposits:Total deposits increased 6.1decreased 19.2 percent from December 31, 2013 to March 31,June 30, 2014, marked most significantly by an increasea decrease in overnight balances and certificates of deposit. Deposit programs are offered primarily to facilitate customer transactions with us.balances. Deposit products offered primarily include demand and overnight deposits and short-term certificates of deposit. Demand deposit programs are offered primarily to facilitate customer transactions with us, such as cash flows associated with advances and MPF transactions. Overnight deposits provide an alternative short-term investment option to members. The majority of deposits are in overnight or demand accounts that generally re-price daily based upon a market index such as overnight Federal funds. However, because of the extremely low interest rate environment, we have established a current floor of 5 bps on demand deposits and 10 bps on overnight deposits. The level of deposits is driven by member demand for deposit products, which in turn is a function of the liquidity position of members. Factors that influence deposit levels include turnover in member investment and loan portfolios, changes in members’ customer deposit balances, changes in members’ demand for liquidity and our deposit pricing as compared to other short-term market rates. Declines in the level of deposits could occur during 2014 if demand for loans at member institutions increases, if members continue to de-leverage their balance sheets or if decreases in the general level of liquidity of members should occur. Fluctuations in deposits have

76


little impact on our ability to obtain liquidity. We historically have had stable and ready access to the capital markets through consolidated obligations and can replace any reduction in deposits with similarly or even lower priced borrowings.

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 we use to fund advances, mortgage loans and investments. As noted under Item 3 – “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” we use debt with a variety of maturities and option characteristics to manage our interest rate risk profile. We make extensive use of derivative transactions, executed in conjunction with specific consolidated obligation debt issues, to synthetically structure funding terms and costs.

Bonds are primarily used to fund longer-term (one year or greater) advances, mortgage loans and investments. To the extent that the bond is funding variable rate assets, we typically either issue a bond that has variable rates matching the asset index or utilize an interest rate swap to change the bond’s characteristics in order to match the asset’s index. Additionally, we sometimes use fixed rate, variable rate or complex consolidated obligation bonds that are swapped or indexed to LIBOR to fund short-term advances and money market investments or as a liquidity risk management tool.

Discount notes are primarily used to fund: (1) shorter-term advances or adjustable rate advances with indices and resets based on our short-term cost of funds; and (2) investments with maturities of three months or less. However, we sometimes use discount notes to fund longer-term assets, including fixed rate assets, variable rate assets, assets swapped to synthetically create variable rate assets, and short-term anticipated cash flows generated by longer-term fixed rate assets.

Total consolidated obligations decreased 5.90.3 percent from December 31, 2013 to March 31,June 30, 2014. Discount notes decreasedincreased from 35.2 percent of total outstanding consolidated obligations as of December 31, 2013 to 32.137.1 percent as of March 31,June 30, 2014 primarily as a result of the decreaseincrease in our line of credit product and other adjustable rateshort-term advance products (see this Item 2 – “Financial Condition – Advances”). Bonds decreased from $20.1 billion as of December 31, 2013 to $19.8$19.4 billion as of March 31,June 30, 2014 primarily due to declines inas a result of replacing $0.4 billion of unswapped callable bonds swapped or indexed to LIBOR as we allowed our excess LIBOR-based debt position to decline.with discount notes. We have also begun efforts to reduce our balance sheet allocation to money market securities and some other investments and plan to continue this throughout the remainder of 2014, which may continue to have some impact on the composition mix of our liabilities between bonds and discount notes.

Several recent developments have the potential to impact the demand for FHLBank consolidated obligations in 2014 and perhaps beyond. For a discussion of the impact of these recent developments, U.S. government programs and the financial markets on the cost of FHLBank consolidated obligations, see “Financial Market Trends” under this Item 2.


While we currently have stable access to funding markets, future developments could impact the cost of replacing outstanding debt. Some of these include, but are not limited to, a large increase in call volume, significant increases in advance demand, legislative and regulatory changes, proposals addressing GSEs, derivative and financial market reform, a decline in investor demand for consolidated obligations, further rating agency downgrades of U.S. Treasury obligations that will in turn impact the rating on FHLBank consolidated obligations and changes in Federal Reserve policies and outlooks.

Derivatives: All derivatives are marked to fair value with any associated accrued interest, and netted by clearing agent by Derivative Clearing Organization (Clearinghouse), or by counterparty and offset by the fair value of any swap cash collateral received or delivered where the legal right of offset has been determined, 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 our derivatives primarily fluctuate as the OIS and LIBOR/Swap interest rate curves fluctuate. Other factors such as implied price/interest rate volatility, the shape of the above interest rate curves and time decay can also drive the market price for derivatives.

We use derivatives in three ways: (1) by designating them as either a fair value or cash flow hedge of an underlying financial instrument, firm commitment or a forecasted transaction; (2) by acting as an intermediary; and (3) in asset/liability management (i.e., economic hedge). Economic hedges are defined as derivatives hedging specific or non-specific underlying assets, liabilities or firm commitments that do not qualify for hedge accounting under GAAP, but are acceptable hedging strategies under our RMP. To meet the hedging needs of our members, we enter into offsetting derivatives, acting as an intermediary between members and other counterparties. This intermediation allows smaller members indirect access to the derivatives market. However, because of increased regulatory requirements and the uncertainty surrounding the cost associated with clearing intermediated derivatives we have placed aan indefinite moratorium on these intermediated derivative transactions until such time that we can determine their future cost structure.transactions. The derivatives used in intermediary activities do not receive hedge accounting and are separately marked-to-market through earnings (classified as economic hedges).

The notional amount of total derivatives outstanding decreased slightly, from $18.9 billion at December 31, 2013 to $18.3$17.8 billion at March 31,June 30, 2014, primarily due to our recent use of LIBOR-based variable rate bonds for funding instead ofthe decline in variable rate bonds swapped to LIBOR. For additional information regarding the types of derivative instruments and risks hedged, see Tables 3337 and 3438 under Item 3 – “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity: To meet our mission of serving as an economical funding source for our members and housing associates, we must maintain high levels of liquidity. We are required to maintain liquidity in accordance with certain Finance Agency regulations and guidelines and with policies established by management and the Board of Directors. We need liquidity to repay maturing consolidated obligations and other borrowings, to meet advance needs of our members, to make payments of dividends to our members and to repurchase excess capital stock at our discretion, whether upon the request of a member or at our own initiative (mandatory stock repurchases).


A primary source of our 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, we generally have comparatively stable access to funding at relatively favorable spreads to U.S. Treasury rates. We are primarily and directly liable for our portion of consolidated obligations (i.e., those obligations issued on our behalf). In addition, we are jointly and severally liable with the other 11 FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on the consolidated obligations of all 12 FHLBanks.


Our other sources of liquidity include deposit inflows, repayments of advances or mortgage loans, maturing investments, interest income, and proceeds from reverse repurchase agreements or the sale of unencumbered assets. Uses of liquidity include issuing advances, purchasing mortgage loans, purchasing investments, deposit withdrawals, capital repurchases, maturing or called consolidated obligations, interest expense, dividend payments to members, other contractual payments, and contingent funding or purchase obligations including letters of credit and any required purchases of securities under standby bond purchase agreements.


Total cash and short-term investments with remaining maturities of one year or less, which include term and overnight Federal funds sold, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and reverse repurchase agreements, decreased slightly from $3.5 billion as of December 31, 2013 to $3.3$3.0 billion as of March 31,June 30, 2014 as part of our strategic core mission asset initiative. The maturities of our short-term investments are structured to provide periodic cash flows to support our ongoing liquidity needs. To enhance our liquidity position, short-term investment securities (i.e., commercial paper and marketable certificates of deposit) are also classified as trading so that they can be readily sold should liquidity be needed immediately. We also maintain a portfolio of GSE debentures and U.S. government-guaranteed debenturesTreasury obligations that can be pledged as collateral for financing in the securities repurchase agreement market and are classified as trading to enhance our liquidity position. These debentures decreased to $1.6$1.4 billion in par value as of March 31,June 30, 2014 from $2.2 billion in par value as of December 31, 2013, reflecting maturities of these debentures during the first quarterhalf of 2014. We anticipate further declines in our short-term investments as part of our strategic core mission asset initiatives but will ensure that we maintain adequate levels for liquidity and collateral purposes.

In order to assure that we can take advantage of those sources of liquidity that will affect our leverage capital requirements, we manage our average capital ratio to stay sufficiently above our minimum regulatory and RMP requirements so that we can utilize the excess capital capacity should the need arise. Managing our average capital ratio sufficiently above minimum regulatory and RMP requirements helps ensure our ability to meet the liquidity needs of our members and to increase our ability to repurchase excess stock either: (1) initiated at our discretion to adjust our balance sheet size or manage the amount of excess capital stock; or (2) upon the submission of a redemption request by a member. On April 4, 2014, we repurchased $276 million of excess Class A Common Stock as part of our strategic core mission asset initiatives. This excess capital stock repurchase was generally funded through the issuance of additional discount notes, thus effectively decreasing our capital-to-assets ratio. Going forward, we plan to repurchase all excess Class A Common Stock on a regular basis, which will generally be at least monthly. Ultimately, we anticipate this reduction in excess capital stock will allow us to maintain a consistent capital-to-asset ratio while continuing to reduce our money market and other investments while still maintaining adequate levels for liquidity and collateral purposes.

level of investments.


We are subject to five metrics for measuring liquidity, and have remained in compliance with each of these liquidity requirements throughout the firstsecond quarter of 2014 (see “Risk Management – Liquidity Risk Management” under this Item 2 for additional discussion on our liquidity requirements). In order to ensure a sufficient liquidity cushion, we generally maintain a relatively longer weighted-average maturity on our consolidated obligation discount notes than the weighted average maturity of short-term investments. The weighted average remaining days to maturity of discount notes outstanding remained unchanged atincreased to 58 days as of June 30, 2014 from 39 days as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The weighted average remaining maturity of our money market investment portfolio (Federal funds sold, marketable certificates of deposit, commercial paper and reverse repurchase agreements) and non-earning cash left in our Federal Reserve Bank account decreased to 2 days1 day as of March 31,June 30, 2014 from 7 days as of December 31, 2013 primarily due to a decrease in the average remaining maturity of term investments and an increase inbecause we only held short-term investments with overnight maturities which was only partially offset by the decrease in cash.as of June 30, 2014. As a result of the decrease in the weighted average maturity of these short-term assets, and no change in the weighted average maturity of discount notes outstanding, the mismatch of discount notes and our money market investment portfolio increased from 32 days on December 31, 2013 to 3757 days on March 31,June 30, 2014. Over time, especially as the yield curve steepens on the short end, maintaining the differential between the weighted average original maturity between discount notes and money market investments will marginally increase our cost of funds and reduce our net interest income.


We sometimes leave cash in our non-earning Federal Reserve Bank account at the end of the day for several reasons including: (1) advance payoffs that occur late in the day; (2) insufficient returns in the Federal funds market to compensate us for the associated credit risk; (3) general shortage of liquid investments in the market; and (3)(4) the desire not to increase our balance sheet allocation to other investment

categories. We left $0.3$0.7 billion in our Federal Reserve Bank account on March 31,June 30, 2014 compared to $1.7 billion on December 31, 2013 primarily due to insufficient returns and a general shortage of liquid investments in the market at December 31, 2013.


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


Capital: Total capital consists of capital stock, retained earnings and AOCI.

As reflected in Table 26, capital stock decreased due to lower advance balances (activity-based stock purchase requirement), our repurchase of excess capital stock and, to a smaller extent, the loss of members resulting from mergers, acquisitions of members (asset-based stock purchase requirement).


Capital stock declined 6.929.9 percent from December 31, 2013 to March 31,June 30, 2014, primarily due to an increase in repurchases of excess stock which was related in part toand a decreasereduction in the required level of Class B Common Stock as a result of the decrease inactivity-based stock purchase requirement for advances. Under our capital plan, members must purchase additional activity-based stock as they enter into advance transactions with us. The amount required is subject to change within ranges established under our capital plan. Beginning May 5, 2014, the activity-based stock purchase requirement for advances will bewas reduced from the current 5.0 percent to 4.5 percent. Excess stock represents the amount of stock held by a member in excess of that institution’s minimum stock purchase. As member advance activity declines,requirement. Upon reducing the activity-based stock purchase requirement, excess stock is created since the member no longer needs the same level of activity-based capital stock. If our excess stock exceeds 1.0 percent of our assets before or after the payment of a dividend in the form of stock, we would be prohibited by Finance Agency regulation from paying dividends in the form of stock. To manage the amount of excess stock, we repurchase excess Class A Common Stock over maximum amounts held by any individual member as of specific dates throughout the year. As discussed previously, in April 2014, we began the practice of repurchasing all outstanding excess Class A Common Stock, generally on a monthly basis. The current practice of regular weekly exchanges of all excess Class B Common Stock over $50,000 for Class A Common Stock is still in effect. As reflected in Table 26,30, the amount of excess stock held by members decreased. This decrease is at least partially attributable to: (1) our capital management practices initiated; (2) a common practice by some of our members to request redemptions of excess stock; and (3) our subsequent discretionary repurchase of member requests.

Table of Contents

Under our cooperatively structured capital plan, our capital stock balances should fluctuate along with any growth (increased capital stock balances) or reduction (decreased capital stock balances) in advance balances in future periods. Any repurchase of excess capital stock is at our discretion and subject to statutory and regulatory limitations, including being in compliance with all of our regulatory capital requirements after any such discretionary repurchase.



79


Our activity-based stock purchase requirements are consistent with our cooperative structure: members’ stock ownership requirements and the dollar amount of dividends received generally increases as their activities with us increase. To the extent that a member’s asset-based stock purchase requirement is insufficient to cover the member’s activity-based stock purchase requirement and the member is required to purchase Class B Common Stock, we believe the value of our products and services is enhanced by dividend yields that exceed the return available from other investments with similar terms and credit quality. Factors that affect members’ willingness to enter into activity with us and purchase additional required activity-based stock include, but are not limited to, our dividend rates, the risk-based capital weighting of our capital stock and alternative investment opportunities available to the members. Based on anecdotal evidence (such as member advance activity and discussions with members), we believe that our activity-based stock purchase requirement for advances has not reduced advance activity with our members, although that may not hold true in the future. Table 2630 provides a summary of member capital requirements under our current capital plan as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

The increase in retained earnings from December 31, 2013 to March 31,June 30, 2014 is attributable to the net income for the quartersix months ended June 30, 2014 of $22.3$50.8 million exceeding the $8.2$18.2 million payment of dividends for the first quartersame period of 2014. TheOur Board of Directors believedconcluded that it was appropriate and prudent to aggressively grow our retained earnings during this period when our earnings were strong, while still allowing us to pay an acceptable dividend on our members’ capital stock investments and also build retained earnings.investments. Another factor for the increase is the JCEJoint Capital Enhancement Agreement with the other 11 FHLBanks effective February 28, 2011 that provides that, upon the satisfaction of the FHLBanks’ obligations to REFCORP effective June 30, 2011, each FHLBank, on a quarterly basis, allocates at least 20 percent of its net income to a separate RRErestricted retained earnings Account until the balance of that account equals at least one percent of that FHLBank’s average balance of outstanding consolidated obligations for the previous quarter. These restricted retained earnings are not available to pay dividends.

We are subject to three capital requirements under provisions of the GLB Act, the Finance Agency’s capital structure regulation and our current capital plan: risk-based capital requirement, total capital requirement and leverage capital requirement. Under the risk-based capital requirement, we are required to maintain permanent capital at all times in an amount at least equal to the sum of our credit risk, market risk and operations risk capital requirements, calculated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Finance Agency. Only permanent capital, defined as retained earnings and Class B stock, can be used to satisfy our risk-based capital requirement. The Finance Agency, at its discretion, may require us to maintain a greater amount of permanent capital than is required by the risk-based capital requirements. We are required to maintain total capital at all times of at least four percent of total assets. Total capital is the sum of permanent capital, Class A stock, any general loss allowance, if consistent with GAAP and not established for specific assets, and other amounts from sources determined by the Finance Agency as available to absorb losses. Finally, we are required to maintain leverage capital of at least five percent of total assets. Leverage capital is defined as the sum of permanent capital weighted 1.5 times and other capital weighted 1.0 times divided by total assets. We have been in compliance with each of the aforementioned capital rules and requirements at all times since the implementation of our capital plan. See Note 12 in the Notes to Financial Statements included under Item 1 for additional information and compliance as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.


Capital Distributions: Dividends may be paid in cash or capital stock as authorized by our Board of Directors. Quarterly dividends can be paid out of current and previous unrestricted retained earnings, subject to Finance Agency regulation and our capital plan.


Within our capital plan, we have the ability 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. Class A stockholders and Class B stockholders share in dividends equally up to the dividend parity threshold for a dividend period, then the dividend rate for Class B stockholders can exceed the rate for Class A stockholders, but the dividend rate on Class A Common Stock can never exceed the dividend rate on Class B Common Stock. In essence, the dividend parity threshold: (1) serves as a soft floor to Class A stockholders since we must pay Class A stockholders the dividend parity threshold rate before paying a higher rate to Class B stockholders; (2) indicates a potential

80


dividend rate to Class A stockholders so that they can make decisions as to whether or not to hold excess Class A Common Stock; and (3) provides us with a tool to manage the amount of excess stock through higher or lower dividend rates by varying the desirability of holding excess shares of Class A Common Stock (i.e., the lower the dividend rate on Class A Common Stock, the less desirable it is to hold excess Class A Common Stock).


The current dividend parity threshold is equal to the average effective overnight Federal funds rate for a dividend period minus 100 bps. This dividend parity threshold was effective for dividends paid for all of 2013 and 2014 and will continue to be effective until such time as it may be changed by our Board of Directors. With the overnight Federal funds target rate range of zero0.0 to 0.25 percent, the dividend parity threshold is effectively floored at zero percent at this time. Under the capital plan, all dividends paid in the form of capital stock must be paid in the form of Class B Common Stock. Table 2731 presents the dividend rates per annum paid on capital stock under our capital plan for the periods indicated:

We announced on March 28, 2014 that we anticipateincreased dividend rates per annum ofto 1.00 percent on Class A Common Stock and 5.00 percent on Class B Common Stock forduring the second quarter of 2014. This increase in dividend rates was precipitated by2014 as a result of a change in our capital management practices that we anticipate willintended to result in a higher percentage payout of quarterly earnings and a slower growth ofin retained earnings in the future.earnings. We anticipate that dividend rates on Class A Common Stock will be at or above 1.00 percent for future dividend periods and that the dividend parity threshold calculation will not become a determining factor as to the dividend rate on Class A Common Stock even when the calculation results in a positive number. We also anticipate that dividend rates on Class B Common Stock after the second quarter of 2014 maywill be increasedat or above 5.00 percent, subject to sufficient earnings to meet retained earnings thresholds and still pay such dividends on both Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at the increased rates per annum. While there is no assurance that our Board of Directors will not change the dividend parity threshold in the future, the capital plan requires that we 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.

While we paid


We expect to continue paying dividends primarily in the form of capital stock in the first quarter of 2014, but future dividends may be paid in cash as we analyze potential changes to our capital management practices.cash. The payment of cash dividends instead of stock dividends should not have a significant impact from a liquidity perspective, as the subsequent redemption of excess stock created by stock dividends would utilize liquidity resources in the same manner as a cash dividend.



Risk Management

Active risk management continues to be an essential part of our operations and a key determinant of our ability to maintain earnings to return an acceptable dividend to our members and meet retained earnings thresholds. We maintain an enterprise risk management (ERM) program in an effort to enable the identification of all significant risks to the organization and institute the prompt and effective management of any major risk exposures. Our ERM program is a structured and disciplined approach that aligns strategy, processes, people, technology and knowledge with the purpose of identifying, evaluating and managing the uncertainties we face as we create value. It is a continuous process of identifying, prioritizing, assessing and managing inherent enterprise risks (i.e., business, compliance, credit, liquidity, market and operations) before they become realized risk events. See Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Risk Management” in our Form 10-K for more information on our ERM program.

Our Risk Philosophy Statement, approved by our Board A separate discussion of Directors, establishes the broad parameters we consider in executing our business strategy and represents a set of shared attitudes and beliefs that characterize how we considermarket risk in everything we do. Our Risk Appetite Statement, also approved by our Board of Directors, defines the level of risk exposure we are willing to accept or retain in pursuit of stakeholder value. While we consider our risk appetite first in evaluating strategic alternatives, defining and managing to a specific risk appetite does not ensure we will not incur greater than expected losses or that we won’t be faced with an unexpected, catastrophic loss. By defining and managing to a specific risk appetite, our Board of Directors and senior management strive to ensure that there is a common understanding of our desired risk profile, which enhances the ability of both to make improved strategic and tactical decisions. Our monthly Risk Dashboard provides a holistic view of our risk profile and the means for reporting our key risk metrics as defined within our Risk Appetite Metrics document, which is also approved by our Board of Directors. The Risk Dashboard is intended to demonstrate, at an entity level, whether our enterprise risks are well controlled and normal operations are expected with standard Board of Directors involvement (low residual risk environment). Emerging risks (those that are newer to the organization or are the result of macro-level changes) are included on our New and Emerging Risks report and reviewed with our Board of Directors on a quarterly basis to ensure appropriate risk management strategies are identified and pursued to manage emerging risks to our desired residual risk appetite.

Effective risk management programs include not only conformance to risk management best practices by management but also incorporate Board of Director oversight. As previously noted, our Board of Directors plays an active role in the ERM process by regularly reviewing risk management policies and approving aggregate levels of risk. Involvement by the Board of Directors in establishing risk tolerance levels, including oversight of the development and maintenance of programs to manage it, should be substantial and reflect a high level of director fiduciary responsibility and accountability. In addition to establishing the formal risk philosophy, risk appetite statement, risk appetite metrics and reviewing the annual and business unit risk assessment reports, our Board of Directors reviews both the RMP and Member Products Policy at least annually. Various management committees oversee our risk management process. The following discussion highlights our different strategies to diversify and manage risk. Seeunder Item 3 – “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for a separate discussion of market risk.

Credit Risk Management:Credit risk is defined as the risk that counterparties to our transactions will not meet their contractual obligations. We manage credit risk by following established policies, evaluating the creditworthiness of our counterparties, and utilizing collateral agreements and settlement netting for derivative transactions where enforceability of the legal right of offset has been determined. The most important step in the management of credit risk is the initial decision to extend credit. Continuous monitoring of counterparties is completed for all areas where we are exposed to credit risk, whether that is through lending, investing or derivative activities.


81



Lending and AMA Activities – Credit risk with members arises partly as a result of our lending and AMA activities (members’ CE obligations on conventional mortgage loans that we acquire through the MPF Program). We manage our exposure to credit risk on advances, letters of credit, derivatives, and members’ CE obligations on conventional mortgage loans through a combined approach that provides ongoing review of the financial condition of our members coupled with prudent collateralization.


As provided in the Bank Act, a member’s investment in our capital stock is held as additional collateral for the member’s advances and other credit obligations (letters of credit, CE obligations, etc.). In addition, we can call for additional collateral or substitute collateral during the life of an advance or other credit obligation to protect our security interest.


Credit risk arising from AMA activities under our MPF Program falls into three categories: (1) the risk of credit losses on the mortgage loans represented in our First Loss Account (FLA) and last loss positions; (2) the risk that a PFI will not perform as promised with respect to its loss position provided through its CE obligations on conventional mortgage loan pools, which are covered by the same collateral arrangements as those described for advances; and (3) the risk that a third-party insurer (obligated under primary mortgage insurance (PMI) or supplemental mortgage insurance (SMI) arrangements) will fail to perform as expected. Should a PMI third-party insurer fail to perform, it would increase our credit risk exposure because our FLA is the next layer to absorb credit losses on conventional mortgage loan pools. Likewise, if an SMI third-party insurer fails to perform, it would increase our credit risk exposure because it would reduce the participating member’s CE obligation loss layer since SMI is purchased by PFIs to cover all or a portion of their CE obligation exposure for mortgage pools. Credit risk exposure to third-party insurers to which we have PMI and/or SMI exposure is monitored on a monthly basis and regularly reported to the Board of Directors. We perform credit analysis of third-party PMI and SMI insurers on at least an annual basis. On a monthly basis, we review trends that could identify risks with our mortgage loan portfolio, including low FICO scores and high LTV ratios. Based on the credit underwriting standards under the MPF Program and this monthly review, we have concluded that the mortgage loans we hold would not be considered subprime.


InvestmentsAs noted previously, theOur RMP restricts the acquisition of investments to high-quality, short-term money market instruments and highly rated long-term securities. The short-term investment portfolio represents unsecured credit and reverse repurchase agreements. Therefore, 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 our short-term investments. Collateral valuation and compliance with collateral eligibility and transaction margin requirements are monitored daily to limit secured credit risk on our reverse repurchase agreements. MBS represent the majority of our long-term investments. We hold MBS issued by agencies and GSEs, CMOs securitized by GSEs, private-issue MBS/ABS rated triple-A at the time of purchase and CMOs securitized by whole loans. Approximately 93 percent of our MBS/CMO portfolio is securitized by Fannie Mae or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). All of our private-label MBS/ABS have been downgraded below triple-A subsequent to purchase (see Table 20)25), but the downgraded securities have been and are currently paying according to contractual agreements with the exception of three securities that experienced immaterial cash flow shortfalls. The securities we hold that are classified as being backed by subprime mortgage loans are private-label home equity ABS. We also have potential credit risk exposure to MBS/CMOs and ABS that are insured by two of the monoline mortgage insurance companies, one of which is in rehabilitation after having previously entered into bankruptcy proceedings. We analyze these securities quarterly as part of the OTTI determination and assume no coverage potential from this monoline insurance provider. Under the RMP in effect at the time of acquisition, the insurer had to be rated no lower than double-A. We monitor the credit ratings daily, financial performance at least annually and capital adequacy quarterly for all primary mortgage insurers, secondary mortgage insurers and master servicers to which we have potential credit risk exposure. Other long-term investments include unsecured GSE debentures and unsecured or collateralized state and local housing finance agency securities that were rated at least double-A at the time of purchase.


Derivatives – We transact most of our derivatives with large banks and major broker-dealers. Over-the-counter derivative transactions may be either executed with a counterparty (bilateral derivatives) or cleared through a Futures Commission Merchant (i.e., clearing agent), with a Derivative Clearing Organization (cleared derivatives).

76



Table of Contents

We are subject to credit risk due to the risk of nonperformance by counterparties to our derivative transactions. The amount of credit risk on derivatives depends on the extent to which netting procedures and collateral requirements are used and are effective in mitigating the risk. We manage this risk through credit analysis and collateral management. We are also required to follow the requirements set forth by applicable regulation.


Bilateral Derivatives. We are subject to non-performance by the counterparties to our bilateral derivative transactions. We generally require collateral on bilateral derivative transactions. For some counterparties, the amount of net unsecured credit exposure that is permissible with respect to the counterparty depends on the credit rating of that counterparty. For other counterparties, collateral is required on all net unsecured credit exposure. For a counterparty with credit rating thresholds, a counterparty generally must deliver collateral to us if the total market value of our exposure to that counterparty rises above a specific trigger point. Our credit risk exposure from derivative

82


transactions with member institutions is fully collateralized under our Advance, Pledge and Security Agreement. As a result of these risk mitigation initiatives, we do not anticipate any credit losses on our bilateral derivative transactions as of March 31,June 30, 2014.


Cleared Derivatives. We are subject to nonperformance by the Clearinghouse(s) and clearing agent(s). The requirement that we post initial and variation margin, through the clearing agent, to the Clearinghouse, exposes us to institutional credit risk in the event that the clearing agent or the Clearinghouse fails to meet its obligations. The use of cleared derivatives is intended to mitigate credit risk exposure because a central counterparty is substituted for individual counterparties and collateral is posted daily for changes in the value of cleared derivatives through a clearing agent. We do not anticipate any credit losses on our cleared derivatives as of March 31,June 30, 2014.


We regularly monitor the exposures on our derivative transactions by determining the market value of positions using internal pricing models. The market values generated by the pricing model used to value derivatives are compared to dealer model results on a monthly basis to ensure that our derivative pricing model is reasonably calibrated to actual market pricing methodologies utilized by the dealers. In addition, we have our internal pricing model validated annually by an independent consultant. As a result of these risk mitigation initiatives, management does not anticipate any credit losses on our derivative transactions. See Note 7 of the Notes to Financial Statements under Item 1 for additional information on managing credit risk on derivatives.


The contractual or notional amount of derivative transactions reflects our involvement in the various classes of financial instruments. The maximum credit risk with respect to derivative transactions is the estimated cost of replacing the derivative transactions if there is a default, minus the value of any related collateral posted to satisfy the initial margin (if required) and the variation margin. BilateralOur derivative transactions are subject to variation margin which is derived from the change in market value of the transaction and must be posted by the net debtor on demand. Cleared transactions are subject to initial margin as well as variation margin. The initial margin is intended to protect the Clearinghouse against default of a clearing agent and to protect the clearing agent against default of a customer. Initial margin is calculated to cover the potential price volatility of the derivative transaction between the time of the default and the assignment of the transaction to another clearing agent or termination of the transaction. The initial margin remains outstanding for the life of the transaction; thus, it is possible that we could either have: (1) net credit exposure with a Clearinghouse even if our net creditor position has been fully satisfied by the receipt of variation margin; or (2) net credit exposure with a Clearinghouse despite being the net debtor (i.e., being in a liability position). In determining maximum credit risk, we consider accrued interest receivables and payables as well as the netting requirements to net assets and liabilities.

Foreign Counterparty Risk  Cross-border outstandings are defined as loans, acceptances, interest-bearing deposits with other banks, other interest-bearing investments and any other monetary assets payable to us by entities of foreign countries, regardless of the currency in which the claim is denominated. Our cross-border outstandings consist primarily of short-term trading securities and Federal funds sold issued by banks and other financial institutions, which are non-sovereign entities, and derivative asset exposure with counterparties that are also non-sovereign entities. Secured reverse repurchase agreements outstanding are excluded from cross-border outstandings because they are fully collateralized.


In addition to credit risk, cross-border outstandings have the risk that, as a result of political or economic conditions in a country, borrowers may be unable to meet their contractual repayment obligations of principal and/or interest when due because of the unavailability of, or restrictions on, foreign exchange needed by borrowers to repay their obligations. Unsecured credit exposure continues to be cautiously placed, with non-derivatives exposure concentrated in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, and the Nordic countries.



84


Table 3034 presents the fair value of cross-border outstandings to countries in which we do business that amounted to at least one percent of our total assets as of March 31,June 30, 2014 (dollar amounts in thousands):

Liquidity Risk Management:Maintaining the ability to meet our obligations as they come due and to meet the credit needs of our members and housing associates in a timely and cost-efficient manner is the primary objective of managing liquidity risk. We seek to be in a position to meet the credit needs of our members, as well as our debt service 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 currently defined in our RMP as sources of cash from both our ongoing access to the capital markets and our holding of liquid assets. We manage exposure to operational liquidity risk by maintaining appropriate daily liquidity levels above the thresholds established by our RMP. We are also required to manage liquidity in order to meet statutory and contingency liquidity requirements and Finance Agency liquidity guidelines by maintaining a daily liquidity level above certain thresholds also outlined in the RMP, federal statutes, Finance Agency regulations and other Finance Agency guidance not issued in the form of regulations. We remained in compliance with each of these liquidity requirements throughout the firstsecond quarter of 2014.


We generally maintained stable access to the capital markets for the first three months ofquarter ended June 30, 2014. For additional discussion of the market for our consolidated obligations and the overall market affecting liquidity see “Financial Market Trends” under this Item 2.

Table of Contents

Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require us to post additional collateral with our counterparties if there is deterioration in our credit rating. See Note 7 of the Notes to Financial Statements under Item 1 for additional information on collateral posting requirements and credit-risk-related contingent features. We believe that our liquidity position as of March 31,June 30, 2014 was sufficient to satisfy the additional collateral that would be required in the event of a downgrade in our credit rating from double-A to single-A if the downgrade was effective at that time, and such amounts would not have a material impact to our financial condition or results of operations.



Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

See Note 2 of the Notes to the Financial Statements included under Item 1 – “Financial Statements” for a discussion of recently issued accounting standards.


Legislative and Regulatory Developments

The legislative and regulatory environment in which we and our members operate continues to evolve as a result of regulations enacted pursuant to the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, as amended (Housing Act) and the Dodd-Frank Act. Our business operations, funding costs, rights, obligations, and/or the environment in which we carry out our housing finance mission are likely to continue to be significantly impacted by these changes. Significant regulatory actions and developments for the period covered by this report are summarized below.

Finance Agency Proposed Rule on ResponsibilitiesMoney Market Mutual Fund Reform. On June 19, 2013, the SEC proposed two alternatives for amending rules that govern money market mutual funds under the Investment Company Act of Boards of Directors; Corporate Practices and Corporate Governance Matters. 1940. On January 28,July 23, 2014, the Finance Agency publishedSEC approved final regulations governing money market mutual funds. The final regulations among other things will require:
Institutional prime money market funds to maintain a proposed rule to relocate and consolidate existing Federal Housing Finance Board and Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight regulations pertaining to director responsibilities, corporate practices, and corporate governance matters for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac (together,floating net asset value, which would result in the Enterprises) and the FHLBanks (together with the Enterprises, the “regulated entities”). In addition, the proposed rule would make certain amendments or additions, including provisions to:

§

Revise existing risk management provisions to better align them with more recent proposals of the Federal Reserve Board, including requirements that each regulated entity adopts an enterprise wide risk management program and appoints a chief risk officer with certain enumerated responsibilities;

§

Require each regulated entity to maintain a compliance program headed by a compliance officer who reports directly to the chief executive officer and must regularly report to the board of directors (or a board committee);

§

Require each regulated entity’s board of directors to establish committees specifically responsible for the following matters: (a) risk management; (b) audit; (c) compensation; and (d) corporate governance;

§

Require each FHLBank to designate in its bylaws a body of law to follow for its corporate governance practices and procedures that may arise for which no federal law controls, choosing from: (a) the law of the jurisdiction in which the FHLBank maintains its principal office; (b) the Delaware General Corporation Law; or (c) the Revised Model Business Corporation Act. The proposed rule states that the Finance Agency has the authority to review a regulated entity’s indemnification policies, procedures and practices and may limit or prohibit indemnification payments in support of the safe and sound operations of the regulated entity.

Comments on the proposed rule are due by May 15, 2014.

Finance Agency Final Rule on Executive Compensation. On January 28, 2014, the Finance Agency issued a final rule setting forth requirements and processes with respect to compensation provided to executive officers by FHLBanks and to prohibit an FHLBank or the Office of Finance from providing compensation to any executive officer that the Directordaily share prices of the Finance Agency determines is not reasonablemoney market funds fluctuating along with changes in the market-based value of the funds’ investments;

The final rule became effective“daily liquid assets” and “weekly liquid assets.” At this point, any additional effects on February 27, 2014.

Finance Agency Final Rule on Golden Parachute Payments. On January 28, 2014, the Finance Agency issued a final rule setting forth the standards that the Director of the Finance Agency will take into consideration when determining whether to limit or prohibit golden parachute payments. The primary impact of this final rule is to better conform existing Finance Agency regulations on golden parachutes with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation golden parachute regulations and to further limit golden parachute payments made by andemand for FHLBank or the Office of Finance that is assigned a less than satisfactory composite Finance Agency examination rating. The final rule became effective on February 27, 2014.

Finance Agency Issues Advisory Bulletin on Classification of Assets. On April 9, 2012, the Finance Agency issued Advisory Bulletin 2012-02, Framework for Adversely Classifying Loans, Other Real Estate Owned (“REO”), and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention (AB 2012-02). The guidance in AB 2012-02 is generally consistent with the Uniform Retail Credit Classification and Account Management Policy issued by the federal banking regulators in June 2000. AB 2012-02 establishes a standard and uniform methodology for classifying assets, prescribes the timing of asset charge-offs (excluding investment securities), provides measurement guidance with respect to determining our allowance for credit losses, and fair value measurement guidance for REO (e.g., use of appraisals). We are in the process of determining the financial statement effects of implementing AB 2012-02 on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, although we do not believe the results will materially impact our results of operations. Subsequent to the issuance of AB 2012-02, the Finance Agency issued interpretative guidance clarifying that implementation of the asset classification framework may occur in two phases. The asset classification provisions in AB 2012-02 were implemented on January 1, 2014. The charge-off provisions have been extended and should be implemented no later than January 1, 2015.



Item 3:Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Interest Rate Risk Management

We measure interest rate risk exposure by various methods, including the calculation of DOEduration of equity (DOE) and MVEmarket value of equity (MVE) in different interest rate scenarios.


Duration of Equity: DOE aggregates the estimated sensitivity of market value for each of our financial assets and liabilities to changes in interest rates. In essence, DOE indicates the sensitivity of theoretical MVE to changes in interest rates. However, MVE should not be considered indicative of our market value as a going concern or our value in a liquidation scenario. A positive

We manage DOE results when the duration of assets and designated derivatives is greater than the duration of liabilities and designated derivatives. A positive DOE generally indicates 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 MVE in response to changing interest rates. That is, if we have a DOE of 3.0, a 100 basis point (one percent) increase in interest rates would cause our MVE to decline by approximately three percent whereas a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would cause our MVE to increase by approximately three percent. However, it should be noted that a decline in MVE does not translate directly into a decline in near-term income, especially for entities that do not trade financial instruments. Changes in market value may indicate trends in income over longer periods, and knowing our sensitivity of market value to changes in interest rates provides a measure of the interest rate risk we take.

Under the RMPwithin ranges approved by our Board of Directors our DOE is generally limited to a range of ±5.0 assuming current interest rates. In addition, our DOE is generally limited to a range of ±7.0 assuming an instantaneous parallel increase or decrease in interest rates of 200 bps. During periods of extremely low interest rates, such as the current interest rate environment, the Finance Agency requires that FHLBanks employ a constrained down shock analysis to limit the evolution of forward interest rates to positive non-zero values. Since our market risk model imposes a zero boundary on post-shock interest rates, no additional calculations are necessary in order to meet this Finance Agency requirement. The DOE that management and the Board of Directors consider prudent and reasonable is somewhat lower than the RMP limits and can change depending upon market conditions and other factors. As set forth in our Risk Appetite Metrics approved by the Board of Directors, we typically manage the current base DOE to remain in the range of ±2.5 and DOE in the ±200 basis point interest rate shock scenarios to remain in the range of ±4.0. The DOE parameters established by our Board of Directors represent one way to establish general limits on the amount of interest rate risk that we find acceptable. If our DOE exceeds the policy limits or operating ranges established, we either: (1) take asset/liability actions to bring the DOE back within the range established in our RMP; or (2) review and discuss potential asset/liability management actions with the Board of Directors at the next regularly scheduled meeting that could bring the DOE back within the ranges established in the RMP and ascertain a course of action, which can include a determination that no asset/liability management actions are necessary. Corrective actions taken may include: (1) the purchase of interest rate caps, interest rate floors, swaptions or other derivatives; (2) the sale of assets; and/or (3) the addition to the balance sheet of assets or liabilities having characteristics that are such that they counterbalance the excessive duration observed. A determination that no asset/liability management actions are necessary can be made only if the Board of Directors agrees with management’s recommendations. For additional information on management of our DOE, seedescribed under Item 7 – “Quantitative7A - "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk”Risk" in ourthe annual report on Form 10-K.10-K, incorporated by reference herein. All of our DOE measurements were inside Board of Director established policy limits and operating ranges as of March 31,June 30, 2014. On an ongoing basis, we actively monitor portfolio relationships and overall DOE dynamics as a part of our evaluation processes for determining acceptable future asset/liability management actions.

The DOE as of June 30, 2014 decreased in the base and up 200 basis point shock scenarios and increased in the down 200 basis point shock scenario from March 31, 2014 increased in all scenarios from December 31, 2013.2014. The primary factors contributing to these net increaseschanges in duration during the period were: (1) the general decline of interest rates and the relative level of mortgage rates during the period; (2) the slight increase in the fixed rate mortgage loan portfolio during the period along with the associated increaseweighting of thisthe portfolio as a percent of total assets aswith the growth in the balance sheet contracted as advances and

overall decline in capital levels declined and asalong with increasing prepayment projections increased based on the general decrease in longer term interest rates; and (3) asset/liability actions taken by management throughout the period, including the continued call and re-issuance of long-term, unswapped callable consolidated obligation bonds with short lock-out periods.


The decrease in longer-term interest rates during the firstsecond quarter of 2014 generally resulted in a shortening duration profile for both the fixed rate mortgage loan portfolio and the associated unswapped callable consolidated obligation bonds funding these assets. With the slight increase in our mortgage loan portfolio during thisthe period, as discussed in Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – MPF Program,” the portfolio level duration profile changed as expected since a general decrease in interest rates typically generates faster prepayments for both new production mortgage loans, as well as the outstanding fixed rate mortgage loan portfolio. Generally, faster projected prepayments indicate a relative increase in refinancing incentive for borrowers.

The


Even though the fixed rate mortgage loan portfolio increased slightly in net outstanding balance and increasedduring the period, the portfolio actually decreased slightly as an overall percentage of total assets as the balance sheet contracted, increasingexpanded, decreasing from 17.518.6 percent of total assets as of DecemberMarch 31, 20132014 to 18.618.3 percent as of March 31,June 30, 2014. WithEven with this slight weighting increase,decrease, the mortgage loan portfolio continues to represent a sizable portion of the balance sheet and changes occurring with this portfolio tend to be magnified in terms of DOE. The DOE calculation is a market value based measurement and as portfolio market values increase or decrease, they become larger or smaller contributors to the overall market value of total assets. For example, as the absolute balance of the mortgage loan portfolio increaseddecreased during the period, the actual market value of the portfolio increased as well in response to the decline in interest rates and became an even larger percentagefurther increasing the overall duration impact of the overall market value of assets. This increase in market value is expected behavior since fixed rate portfolios exhibit price increases as interest rates decline and reflects the traditional inverse price to yield relationship. Since the mortgage loan portfolio continues to comprise a significantconsiderable percentage of overall assets and has such a high duration relative to other FHLBank assets, its behavior is quite visible in the duration risk profile and changes in this portfolio are typically magnified as interest rates change.


This magnification occurs when a portfolio market value weighting as a percent of the overall net market value of the balance sheet changes, causing the remaining portfolios to be a smaller or larger component of the total balance sheet composition. For example, when advance balances decline, our mortgage loan portfolio effectively increases as a total proportion of total assets, assuming all other asset portfolios and interest rates remain constant. This relationship then causes the duration of the mortgage loan portfolio to have a greater contribution impact to the overall DOE since DOE is a market value weighted measurement as mentioned previously. Couple this example with an absolute growth in the mortgage loan portfolio during the same period, and the mortgage loan portfolio becomes an even greater percentage of the balance sheet, causing the DOE profile to be further impacted by the mortgage loan duration profile.


With the decrease in rates increasing projected prepayments and generally shortening the overall duration profile for the mortgage loan portfolio, the absolute impact to DOE was generally a net increase since the market value of the mortgage loan portfolio increased as a percentage of overall assets increased asmarket value of the balance sheet contracted with advances andas capital levels decreasingsignificantly decreased during the period, which more than offset the impact of the mortgage shortening caused by lower mortgage rates. With these balance sheet dynamics, we continue to actively manage and monitor the contributing factors of our risk profile, including DOE. As the relationship of the fixed rate mortgage loan assets and the associated callable liabilities vary based on market conditions, we evaluate and manage these market driven sensitivities as both portfolios change in balance level and overall proportion.

82



Table of Contents

New loans were continually added to the mortgage loan portfolio to replace loans that were prepaid during the period and we continue to actively manage this ongoing growth to position the balance sheet sensitivity to perform within our expected risk tolerances. To effectively manage these changes in the mortgage loan portfolio (including new production loans) and related sensitivity to changes in market conditions, a continued issuance of unswapped callable consolidated obligation bonds with short lock-out periods (generally three months) positioned us to replace called bonds as the interest rate environment continued to remain at historically low levels. The call of higher rate callable bonds and reissuance of these bonds at lower interest rates in this manner generally extends the duration profile of this portfolio as bonds are called that are in-the-money (above market rates) and subsequently reissued at lower interest rates (at market rates). This liability extension corresponds with the expected longer duration profile of the new fixed rate mortgage loans, all else being equal.


As discussed above, as interest rates decreased during the period and as we continued to experience measured prepayments of the fixed rate mortgage loan portfolio, the short lock-out periods of the callable bonds plus some maturities of non-callable bonds provided the opportunity to continue the refinancing of our liabilities. The decrease in interest rates during the period also caused the duration profile of the existing portfolio of unswapped callable bonds to shorten. This liability shortening is a result of the inherent convexity (discussed below) profile of these portfolios and demonstrates the specific duration sensitivity to changes in interest rates at certain shock scenarios. In addition, issuance of discount notes continued, and actually increased, in order to provide adequate liquidity sources to appropriately address potential customer short-term advance growth and associated capital stock activity.activity during the period. The combination of these factors contributed to the net DOE increasedecrease in allthe base and up 200 basis point shock scenarios.


87



With respect to the Agency variable rate MBS/CMO portfolio, we generally purchase interest rate caps to offset the impact of embedded caps in this portfolio in rising interest rate scenarios. As expected, these interest rate caps are a satisfactory interest rate risk hedge to rising interest rates and provide an off-setting risk response to the risk profile changes in Agency variable rate CMOs with embedded caps. We periodically assess derivative strategies to ensure that overall balance sheet risk is appropriately hedged within established risk appetite and make adjustments to the derivative portfolio as needed. This evaluation is completed considering not only the par value of the variable rate MBS/CMO investments with embedded caps being hedged with purchased caps, but the composition of the purchased cap portfolio and expected prepayments of the variable rate MBS/CMO investments with embedded caps. This evaluation of the relative relationship between the variable rate investment portfolio and the purchased cap portfolio continues to indicate a sufficient hedging relationship, including a convexity profile that continues to perform well within our expectations. Our purchases of interest rate caps tend to partially offset the negative convexity of our mortgage assets and the effects of any interest rate caps embedded in the adjustable rate MBS/CMOs. We did not purchasepurchased $269.6 million of Agency variable rate MBS/CMO securities orand $35.0 million of interest rate caps during the firstsecond quarter of 2014.

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, price generally increases at a slower pace as interest rates decline. When an instrument’s convexity profile approaches zero, it simply demonstrates that the duration profile is flattening or that the duration is changing at an increasingly slower rate. When an instrument’s convexity profile moves further from zero, the duration profile is steepening and is changing in price at an increasingly faster 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. The variable rate MBS/CMOs have negative convexity as a result of the embedded caps and prepayment options. Additionally, all of our mortgage loans are fixed rate, so they have negative convexity only as a result of the prepayment options. We seek to mitigate this negative convexity with purchased options that have positive convexity and callable liabilities that have negative convexity, which offset some or all of the negative convexity risk in our assets. With the changes in current capital market conditions, the extremely low level of interest rates and the general shape of the yield curve, which all make it challenging to manage our market risk position, we continue to take measured asset/liability actions to stay within established policy limits.

Even though we have established limits for only the base and ±200 basis point interest rate shock scenarios, we also consider the measurements in the ±100 basis point interest rate shock scenarios. As noted in Table 31, the down 100 basis point interest rate shock scenario DOE has increased over the past several quarters. This increase is primarily due to the convexity profile of the mortgage loans and the associated unswapped callable consolidated obligation bonds with short lock-out periods where the convexity profile of the liabilities is generally more sensitive than our mortgage loan portfolio in the down 100 basis point interest rate shock scenario. Typically this relationship corresponds with greater sensitivity of the options embedded in the liabilities and the overall duration profile of the portfolio of unswapped callable consolidated obligation bonds with short lock-out periods shortening more rapidly as rates decline as the short lock-out periods allow the call options to be exercised efficiently. The mortgage loan portfolio shortens as well when rates decline, but generally the prepayment option is not exercised as quickly or as efficiently. As noted previously, as rates decline and the liability options are exercised, the called bonds have virtually no duration. Once the bonds are called, we typically replace the called bonds with unswapped callable bonds at lower funding levels (at market rates) and our liability duration generally lengthens. As rates decline and new liabilities are issued, the overall duration of liabilities will naturally lengthen and will reduce the overall asset sensitivity of DOE (become less positive). In addition, the down interest rate scenarios are also subject to a zero rate boundary constraint as discussed below.

83



Table of Contents

With respect to the down instantaneous shock scenarios, the sensitivities of both the assets and liabilities are impacted to a large extent by the absolute level of rates and the zero boundary methodology as discussed previously. Since the term structure of interest rates is at or near historically low levels, an instantaneous parallel shock of down 100 bps or 200 bps will effectively produce a flattened term structure of interest rates near zero. This flattened term structure will produce slight, if any, variations in valuations, which generate near zero duration results since the duration measurement captures the sensitivity of valuations to changes in rates. These near zero duration results should be viewed in the context of the broader risk profile of the base and positive interest rate shock scenarios to establish a sufficient vantage point for helping discern the overall sensitivity of the balance sheet and of DOE. As with all scenario changes that occurred during the period, the impact from various sensitivities was expected and discussed during our regular interest-rate risk profile review process.

As noted previously, if at any point a risk measurement nears or exceeds an operating range or policy limit established by the Board of Directors, certain actions may be implemented both by management and the Board of Directors. We typically manage a DOE measurement that exceeds the established limits with various asset/liability management actions. Whenever an established limit is exceeded 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. Even though the base and ±200 basis point interest rate shock scenarios’ DOE measurements are inside management’s operating range as of March 31, 2014, active monitoring of portfolio relationships and overall DOE dynamics continues as do evaluation processes for acceptable future asset/liability management actions, including discussions involving the down 100 basis point interest rate shock scenario as discussed previously.

In calculating DOE, we also calculate our duration gap, which is the difference between the duration of our assets and the duration of our liabilities. Our base duration gap was -0.1 month and 0.1 month for June 30, 2014 and -0.2 month for March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. As discussed previously, the relatively stable performance of the duration gap was primarily the result of the changes in the fixed rate mortgage loan portfolio and the associated funding decisions made by management in response to the declining interest rate environment during the firstsecond quarter of 2014. All 12 FHLBanks are required to submit this base duration gap number to the Office of Finance as part of the quarterly reporting process created by the Finance Agency.

Matching the duration of assets with the duration of liabilities funding those assets is accomplished through the use of different debt maturities and embedded option characteristics, as well as the use of derivatives, primarily interest rate swaps, caps, floors and swaptions as discussed previously. Interest rate swaps increase the flexibility of our funding alternatives by providing desirable cash flows or characteristics that might not be as readily available or cost-effective if obtained in the standard GSE debt market. Finance Agency regulation prohibits the speculative use of derivatives, and we do not engage in derivatives trading for short-term profit. Because we do not engage in the speculative use of derivatives through trading or other activities, the primary risk posed by derivative transactions is credit risk in that a counterparty may fail to meet its contractual obligations on a transaction and thereby force us to replace the derivative at market price (see Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management – Credit Risk Management” for additional information).

As mentioned previously, the funding of mortgage loans and prepayable assets with liabilities that have similar duration or average cash flow patterns over time is our primary strategy for and means of managing the interest rate risk for these assets. To achieve the desired liability durations, we issue debt across a broad spectrum of final maturities. Because the durations of mortgage loans and other prepayable assets change as interest rates change, callable consolidated obligation bonds with similar duration characteristics, on average, are frequently issued. The duration of callable bonds shortens when interest rates decrease and lengthens when interest rates increase, allowing the duration of the debt to better match the typical duration of mortgage loans and other prepayable assets as interest rates change. In addition to actively monitoring this relationship, the funding and hedging profile and process are continually measured and reevaluated. We may also use purchased interest rate caps, floors and swaptions to manage the duration of our assets and liabilities. For example, in order to manage our interest-rate risk in rising interest rate environments, we may purchase out-of-the-money caps to help manage the duration extension of mortgage assets, especially variable rate MBS/CMOs with periodic and lifetime embedded interest rate caps. We may also purchase receive-fixed or pay-fixed swaptions (options to enter into receive-fixed rate or pay-fixed rate interest rate swaps) to manage our overall DOE in falling or rising interest rate environments, respectively. During times of falling interest rates, when mortgage assets are prepaying quickly and shortening in duration, we may also synthetically convert fixed rate debt to variable rate using interest rate swaps in order to shorten the duration of our liabilities to more closely match the shortening duration of mortgage assets. As we need to lengthen the liability duration, we terminate selected interest rate swaps to effectively extend the duration of the previously swapped debt.

Market Value of Equity:MVE is the net value of our assets and liabilities. Estimating sensitivity of MVE to changes in interest rates is another measure of interest rate risk. We generally maintain a MVE within limits specified by the Board of Directors in the RMP. The RMP measures our market value risk in terms of the MVE in relation to total regulatory capital stock outstanding (TRCS). TRCS includes all capital stock outstanding, including stock subject to mandatory redemption. As a cooperative, we believe using the TRCS results in an appropriate measure because it reflects our market value relative to the book value of our capital stock. Our RMP stipulates MVE shall not be less than: (1) 90 percent of TRCS under the base case scenario; or (2) 85 percent of TRCS under a ±200 basis point instantaneous parallel shock in interest rates. Table 3236 presents MVE as a percent of TRCS. As of March 31,June 30, 2014, all scenarios are well above the specified limits and much of the relative level in the ratios during the periods covered by the table can be attributed to the relative level of the fixed rate mortgage loan market values as rates have continued to remain historically low, the general value impact of the refinancing activities of the associated unswapped callable consolidated obligation bonds and the relative level of outstanding capital. The MVE to TRCS ratios can be greatly impacted by the level of capital outstanding based on our capital management approach. We lowered our AMA capital stock requirement during the third quarter of 2013 and exercised measuredsignificant repurchases of excess capital stock throughout the period (see “Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Executive Level Overview” for additional information), leading to a lower level of capital that inherently increased our ratio of MVE to TRCS from DecemberMarch 31, 20132014 to March 31,June 30, 2014 in all interest rate scenarios in the table below.

Detail of Derivative Instruments by Type of Instrument by Type of Risk: Various types of derivative instruments are utilized to mitigate the interest rate risks described in the preceding sections as well as to better match the terms of assets and liabilities. We currently employ 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 either does not qualify for hedge accounting, or for which we have not elected hedge accounting, but is an acceptable hedging strategy under our RMP. For hedging relationships that are not designated for shortcut hedge accounting, we formally assess (both at the hedge’s inception and monthly on an ongoing basis) whether the derivatives used have been highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair values or cash flows of hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain highly effective in future periods. We typically use regression analyses

88


or similar statistical analyses to assess the effectiveness of our long haul hedges. We determine 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 4:Controls and Procedures


Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Senior management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our 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. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of

90


assurance in achieving their desired objectives; however, in designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, 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.
