Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Change in Accounting Principle

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying interim financial statements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and SEC requirements for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in our 2014 Form 10-K.

The financial statements contain all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of our 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.

Our significant accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2014 Form 10-K. There have been no materialsignificant changes to these policies through March 31, 2015.June 30, 2015.

We use certain acronyms and terms throughout these financial statements, which are defined in the Glossary of Terms. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us," and "our" refer to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis or its management.

Reclassifications. We have reclassified certain amounts from the prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income, total comprehensive income, total capital, or net cash flows.

Use of Estimates. When preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we are required to make subjective assumptions and estimates that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expense. The most significant estimates include the determination of other-than-temporary impairment of certain private-label RMBS, the fair values of derivatives and other financial instruments, and the allowance for credit losses. Although the reported amounts and disclosures reflect our best estimates, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Change in Accounting Principle. Effective October 1, 2014, we changed our method of accounting for the amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts, deferred loan fees or costs, and hedging basis adjustments on our mortgage loans held for portfolio to the contractual interest method. The contractual method recognizes the income effects of premiums and discounts in a manner that reflects the actual prepayments and other activity of the mortgage loans during that period and the contractual terms of the loans without regard to estimated prepayments based upon assumptions about future borrower activity. Historically, we deferred and amortized premiums and accreted discounts into interest income using the retrospective interest method, which used both actual prepayment experience and estimates of future principal repayments in calculating the estimated lives of the loans. While both the retrospective interest and contractual interest methods are acceptable under GAAP, the contractual interest method has become preferable for recognizing net unamortized premiums on our mortgage loans held for portfolio because (i) it reduces our reliance on subjective assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, capital and income in the financial statements and (ii) it represents the base accounting model articulated in GAAP applicable to accounting for the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts, whereas the retrospective method is only permitted by the guidance in narrowly defined circumstances.

The change to the contractual method for amortizing premiums and accreting discounts, deferred loan fees or costs, and hedging basis adjustments on our mortgage loans held for portfolio has been reported through retroactive application of the change in accounting principle to all periods presented. For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, the effect of this change was an increase to net income of $727.$267 and $994, respectively.

The following table illustrates the impact of the change in amortization and accretion methodology on our previously reported financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Note 2 - Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance

CustomersCustomer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. On April 15, 2015, the FASB issued amendments to clarify a customer's accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. The amendments provide guidance to customers on determining whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license that should be accounted for as internal-use software. If the arrangement does not contain a software license, it would be accounted for as a service contract. This guidance becomes effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. We can elect to adopt the amendments either (i) prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or (ii) retrospectively. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance, andbut its effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.flows is not expected to be material.

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. This guidance requires a reclassification on the statement of condition of debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability from other assets to a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This guidance becomes effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The guidance is required to be applied on a retrospective basis to each individual period presented on the statement of condition. We are in the process of evaluating the effect of this guidance on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. On February 18, 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance intended to enhance consolidation analysis for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability companies, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and MBS transactions). The new guidance primarily focuses on: (i) placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest, such that a reporting organization may no longer have to consolidate a legal entity in certain circumstances based solely on its fee arrangement when certain criteria are met; (ii) reducing the frequency of the application of related-party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest in a VIE; and (iii) changing consolidation conclusions for entities in several industries that typically make use of limited partnerships or VIEs. This guidance becomes effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance, but its effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows is not expected to be material.

Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. On August 8, 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance relating to the classification and measurement of certain government-guaranteed mortgage loans upon foreclosure. The amendments in this guidance require that a mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if certain conditions are met. This guidance became effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2015, and was adopted prospectively. However, this guidance did not have any effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. On June 12, 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as repurchase financings. This amendment requires entities to account for repurchase-to-maturity transactions as secured borrowings rather than as sales with forward repurchase agreements. In addition, this guidance requires additional disclosures, particularly on transfers accounted for as sales that are economically similar to repurchase agreements and on the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings. This guidance became effective for the interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2015 and was adopted prospectively. However, this guidance did not have any effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. On January 17, 2014, the FASB issued guidance clarifying when consumer mortgage loans collateralized by real estate should be reclassified to REO. Specifically, such collateralized mortgage loans should be reclassified to REO when either the creditor obtains legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure, or 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. This guidance became effective for interim and annual periods on January 1, 2015, and was adopted prospectively. However, this guidance did not have any effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Advisory Bulletin 2012-02.On April 9, 2012, the Finance Agency issued an Advisory Bulletin that established a standard and uniform methodology for adversely classifying loans, other real estate owned, and certain other assets (excluding investment securities), and prescribes the timing of asset charge-offs based on these classifications. Such requirements differed from our previous methodology and accounting policy, particularly in that, among other differences, the Advisory Bulletin states that, with certain exceptions, any loss exposure on a loan more than 180 days past due should be adversely classified and charged off. The charge-off amount is generally the excess of the loan balance over the fair value of the underlying property, less costs to sell, and adjusted for credit enhancements. The adverse classification requirements were implemented as of January 1, 2014, and the financial reporting and charge-off requirements were implemented on January 1, 2015. However, the adoption of these requirements did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Realized Gains and Losses. There were no sales of AFS securities during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 or 2014. As of March 31,June 30, 2015, we had no intention of selling the AFS securities in an unrealized loss position nor did we consider it more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before our anticipated recovery of each security's remaining amortized cost basis.

For home equity loan ABS, total unrealized losses does not agree to total gross unrecognized holding losses at March 31,June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 of $(58)$(46) and $(77), respectively. Total unrealized losses include non-credit-related OTTI losses recorded in AOCI of $(163)$(151) and $(175), respectively, and gross unrecognized holding gains on previously OTTI securities of $84$76 and $114, respectively.

Contractual Maturity. The amortized cost, carrying value and estimated fair value of non-MBS HTM securities by contractual maturity are presented below. MBS and ABS are not presented by contractual maturity because their actual maturities will likely differ from contractual maturities as certain borrowers have the right to prepay their obligations with or without prepayment fees.

Note 5 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

OTTI Evaluation Process and Results - Private-label RMBS and ABS. WeOn a quarterly basis, we evaluate our individual AFS and HTM securities that have been previously OTTI or are in an unrealized loss position for OTTI on a quarterly basis.OTTI. As part of our evaluation, we consider whether we intend to sell each security and whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, we recognize an OTTI loss equal to the entire difference between the security's amortized cost basis and its estimated fair value at the Statementstatement of Conditioncondition date. For those securities that meet neither of these conditions, we perform a cash flow analysis to determine whether we expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security as described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 6 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment in our 2014 Form 10-K.

OTTI - Significant Inputs. The FHLBanks' OTTI Governance Committee developed a short-term housing price forecast with projected changes ranging from a decrease of 3%2% to an increase of 8% over a twelve-month period. For the vast majority of housing markets, the changes range from an increase of 1%2% to an increase of 5%. Thereafter, a unique path is projected for each geographic area based on an internally developed framework derived from historical data.

The following table presents the significant modeling assumptions used to determine the amount of credit loss recognized in earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2015 on the security for which an OTTI was determined to have occurred, as well as related current credit enhancement. Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches, excess spread, and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before we will experience a loss on the security. A credit enhancement percentage of zero reflects a security that has no remaining credit support and is likely to have experienced an actual principal loss. The calculated averages represent the dollar-weighted averages of the private-label RMBS in each category shown. The classification (prime, Alt-A or subprime) is based on the model used to estimate the cash flows for the security, which may not be the same as the classification by the rating agency at the time of origination.

Results of OTTI Evaluation Process. As a result of our analysis, OTTI credit losses were recognized for no securitiesone security for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and one security for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2014. We determined that the unrealized losses on the remaining private-label RMBS and ABS were temporary as we expect to recover the entire amortized cost. The following table presents a rollforward of the amounts related to credit losses recognized in earnings. The rollforward excludes accretion of credit losses for securities that have not experienced a significant increase in cash flows.

The following table presents the March 31,June 30, 2015 classification and balances of OTTI securities impaired prior to that date (i.e., life-to-date) but not necessarily as of that date. Securities are classified based on the originator's classification at the time of origination or based on the classification by the NRSROs upon issuance. Because there is no universally accepted definition of prime, Alt-A or subprime underwriting standards, such classifications are subjective.

Other U.S. and GSE Obligations and TVA Debentures. For other U.S. obligations, GSE obligations, and TVA debentures, we determined that, based on current expectations, the strength of the issuers' guarantees through direct obligations of or support from the United States government is sufficient to protect us from any losses. As a result, all of the gross unrealized losses as of March 31,June 30, 2015 are considered temporary.

Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses

We have established a methodology to determine the allowance for credit losses for each of our portfolio segments: credit products (advances, letters of credit, and other extensions of credit to members); term securities purchased under agreements to resell; term federal funds sold; government-guaranteed or insured mortgage loans held for portfolio; and conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio. A description of the allowance methodologies for our portfolio segments as well as our policy for impairing financing receivables placing them on non-accrual status, and charging them off when necessary is disclosed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 9 - Allowance for Credit Losses in our 2014 Form 10-K. Our policy for placing loans on non-accrual status was updated during the second quarter of 2015, and a description of this change is disclosed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Change in Accounting Principle herein.

Credit Products. Using a risk-based approach, we consider the amount and quality of the collateral pledged and the borrower's financial condition to be the primary indicators of credit quality on the borrower's credit products. At March 31,June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had rights to collateral on a borrower-by-borrower basis with an estimated value in excess of our outstanding extensions of credit.

At March 31,June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we did not have any credit products that were past due, on non-accrual status, or considered impaired. In addition, there were no TDRs related to credit products during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Based upon the collateral held as security, our credit extension and collateral policies, our credit analysis and the repayment history on credit products, we have not recorded any allowance for credit losses on credit products. Accordingly, at March 31, 2015products andDecember 31, 2014, no liability was recorded to reflect an allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures. For additional information about off-balance sheet credit exposure, see Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies.

Mortgage Loans.

Collectively Evaluated Mortgage Loans.

Collectively Evaluated MPP Loans. Our loan loss analysis includes collectively evaluating the MPP pools of conventional loans for impairment within each pool purchased under the MPP.impairment. The measurement of our allowance for loan losses includes evaluating (i) homogeneous pools of mortgage loans past due 180 days or more; and (ii) the current to 179 days past due portion of the loan portfolio. This loan loss analysis considers MPP pool-specific attribute data, estimated liquidation value of real estate collateral held, estimated costs associated with maintaining and disposing of the collateral, and credit enhancements. Delinquency reports are used to determine the population of loans incorporated into the allowance for loan loss analysis.

InBeginning in the first quarter of 2015, we changedrefined our technique for estimating losses on mortgage loans past due 180 days or more to useincorporate loan-level property values obtained from a third-party model.model, instead of using a historical weighted-average collateral recovery rate. A significant haircut wasis applied to these loan-level values to capture the potential impact of severely distressed property sales. The reduced values wereare then aggregated to the pool level and wereare further reduced for estimated liquidation costs to determine the estimated liquidation value.

Amounts recoverable limited to (i) incurredestimated losses remaining after borrower's equity and PMI and (ii) the remaining balance in each pool's portion of the LRA. The remainder of the LRA is available to cover any losses not yet incurred and to distribute any excess funds to members.

MPF Credit Enhancements. CE fees paid to PFIs were $94$90 and $102$101 for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, compared with $184 and $203 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Performance-based CE fees may be withheld to cover losses allocated to us.

If losses occur in an MCC, these losses will either be: (i) recovered through the withholding of future performance-based CE fees from the PFI or (ii) absorbed by us in the FLA. As of March 31,June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our exposure under the FLA was $3,451$3,462 and $3,431,$3,431, respectively, with CE obligations available to cover losses in excess of the FLA totaling $26,862$26,862 and $26,851,$26,851, respectively. Any estimated losses that would be absorbed by the CE obligation are not reserved for as part ofincluded in our allowance for loan losses. Accordingly, the calculated allowance was reduced by $1$0 and $2$2 as of March 31,June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014,, respectively, for the amount in excess of the FLA to be covered by PFIs’ CE obligations. The resulting allowance for MPF loan losses was $150 at March 31,June 30, 2015 and $250 at December 31, 2014 was $250.2014.

The recorded investment in our MPP conventional loans individually evaluated for impairment excludes principal that was previously paid in full by the servicers as of March 31,June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 of $4,482$4,001 and $5,519, respectively, that remains subject to potential claims by those servicers for any losses resulting from past or future liquidations of the underlying properties. However, the MPP conventional loan allowance for loan losses includes $113$30 and $153 for these potential claims as of March 31,June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

As a result of our recent loss history, beginning in the first quarter of 2015, for conventional mortgage loans that are 180 days or more delinquent and/or where the borrower has filed for bankruptcy, we charge off the portion of the outstanding balance in excess of estimated fair value of the underlying property, less cost to sell and adjusted for any available credit enhancements.

(1) 
Includes loans for which the decision of foreclosure or similar alternative, such as pursuit of deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, has been reported. Loans in process of foreclosure are included in past due categories depending on their delinquency status.
(2) 
Represents loans 90 days or more past due (including loans in process of foreclosure) expressed as a percentage of the total recorded investment in mortgage loans. The percentage excludes principal and interest amounts that were previously paid in full by the servicers on conventional loans that are pending resolution of potential loss claims. Many government, including FHA, loans are repurchased by the servicers when they reach 90 days or more delinquent status, similar to the rules for servicers of Ginnie Mae MBS, resulting in the lower serious delinquency rate for government loans.
(3) 
Although our past due scheduled/scheduled MPP loans are classified as loans past due 90 days or more based on the mortgagor's payment status, we do not consider these loans to be non-accrual.

Troubled Debt Restructurings. The table below presents the recorded investment of the performing and non-performing TDRs. Non-performing represents loans on non-accrual status only.

Due to the minimal change in terms of modified loans (i.e., no principal forgiven), our pre-modification recorded investment was not materially different than the post-modification recorded investment in TDRs.

During the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014, certain conventional MPP loans classified as TDRs within the previous 12 months experienced a payment default. A borrower is considered to have defaulted on a TDR if the borrower's contractually due principal or interest is 60 days or more past due at any time. The recorded investment of certain conventional MPP loans classified as TDRs within the previous 12 months that experienced an initial payment default at the end of such periods was $206$104 and $96$144 for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2015, and 2014, respectively. However, a loan can experience another payment default in a subsequent period. There were no such loans during the three or six months ended June 30, 2014.

A loan considered to be a TDR is individually evaluated for impairment when determining its related allowance for loan loss. Credit loss is measured by factoring in expected cash shortfalls as of the reporting date. The tables below present the impaired conventional loans individually evaluated for impairment. The first table presents the recorded investment, UPB and related allowance associated with these loans, while the next table presents the average recorded investment of individually impaired loans and related interest income recognized.

Includes the effect of derivatives in fair-value hedging relationships on net interest income that is recorded in the interest income/expense line item of the respective hedged items. Excludes the interest income/expense of the respective hedged items, which fully offset the interest income/expense of the derivatives, except to the extent of any hedge ineffectiveness. Net interest settlements on derivatives that are not in fair-value hedging relationships are reported in other income (loss).

Managing Credit Risk on Derivatives. We are subject to credit risk due to the risk of nonperformance by the counterparties to our derivative transactions.

For our bilateral derivatives, we have credit support agreements that contain provisions requiring us to post additional collateral with our counterparties if there is deterioration in our credit rating. If our credit rating is lowered by an NRSRO, we could be required to deliver additional collateral on bilateral derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate estimated fair value of all bilateral derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position (before cash collateral and related accrued interest on cash collateral) at March 31,June 30, 2015 was $263,151$212,307 for which we have posted collateral, including accrued interest, with an estimated fair value of $154,706$117,901 in the normal course of business. In addition, we held other derivative instruments in a net liability position of $237$500 that are not subject to credit support agreements containing credit risk-related contingent features. If our credit rating had been lowered by an NRSRO (from an S&P equivalent of AA+ to AA), we could have been required to deliver up to an additional $5,493$7,210 of collateral (at estimated fair value) to our bilateral derivative counterparties at March 31,June 30, 2015.

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. We were not required to post additional initial margin by our clearing agents at March 31,June 30, 2015.

Note 10 - Consolidated Obligations

Although we are the primary obligor for our portion of consolidated obligations (i.e., those issued on our behalf), we are also jointly and severally liable with each of the other FHLBanks for the payment of the principal and interest on all FHLBank consolidated obligations. The par values of the FHLBanks' outstanding consolidated obligations at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 totaled $812.2852.8 billion and $847.2 billion at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Excess Capital Stock. Excess capital stock is defined as the amount of stock held by a member or former member in excess of our stock requirement for that institution. Finance Agency rules limit the ability of an FHLBank to create member excess stock under certain circumstances, including when its total excess stock exceeds 1% of total assets or if the issuance of excess stock would cause total excess stock to exceed 1% of total assets. Our excess stock totaled $463,582$148,739 at March 31,June 30, 2015,, which was 1.1%0.3% of our total assets. Therefore, we are currently not permitted to issue new excess stock to members or distribute stock dividends.

Note 15 - Estimated Fair Values

We review the fair value hierarchy classifications of our financial instruments on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the inputs may result in a reclassification of certain assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in/out at estimated fair value as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occur. There were no such reclassifications during the three or six months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 or 2014.

The following tables present the carrying value and estimated fair value of each of our financial instruments. The total of the estimated fair values does not represent an estimate of our overall market value as a going concern, which would take into account, among other considerations, future business opportunities and the net profitability of assets and liabilities.

Summary of Valuation Techniques and Significant Inputs. A description of the valuation techniques, significant inputs, and levels of fair value hierarchy is disclosed in Note 19 - Estimated Fair Values in our 2014 Form 10-K. No changes have been made in the current year, except as disclosed below.

Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio. We record non-recurring fair value adjustments to reflect partial charge-offs on certain mortgage loans. We estimate the fair value of these assets using a current property value obtained from a third-party model with a haircut applied to the modeled values to capture potentially distressed property sales.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Presentation 

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our 2014 Form 10-K and the Financial Statements and related Notes to Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-Q in Item 1. Financial Statements.

As used in this Item 2, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us," "our," and the "Bank" refer to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis or its management. We use certain acronyms and terms throughout this Form 10-Q that are defined in the Glossary of Terms located in Item 1. Financial Statements.

Executive Summary
 
Overview. We are a regional wholesale bank that makes secured loans in the form of advances; purchases whole mortgage loans from our member financial institutions; purchases other investments; and provides other financial services to our member financial institutions. Our member financial institutions may consist of federally-insured depository institutions (including commercial banks, thrifts, and credit unions), insurance companies and CDFIs.CDFIs with their principal place of business located in our district states of Indiana or Michigan as established in conformity with the laws under which the institution is organized. All member financial institutions are required to purchase shares of our Class B capital stock as a condition of membership. 

Our public policy mission is to facilitate and expand the availability of financing for housing and community development. We seek to achieve our mission by providing products and services to our members in a safe, sound, and profitable manner, and by generating a reasonable, risk-adjusted return on their capital investment. See Item 1. Business - Background Information in our 2014 Form 10-K for more information.

Our principal source of funding is the proceeds from the sale to the public of FHLBank debt instruments, called consolidated obligations, which are the joint and several obligation of all FHLBanks. We obtain additional funds from deposits, other borrowings, and the sale of capital stock to our members.

Our primary source of revenue is interest earned on advances, mortgage loans, and long- and short-term investments.
 
Our net interest income is primarily determined by the interest spread between the interest earned on our assets and the interest paid on our share of the consolidated obligations. We use funding and hedging strategies to manage the related interest-rate risk.

We group our products and services within two operating segments:

Traditional, which consists of (i) credit products (including advances, letters of credit, and lines of credit), (ii) investments (including federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell, AFS securities and HTM securities) and (iii) correspondent services and deposits; and
Mortgage loans, which consist of (i) mortgage loans purchased from our members through our MPP and (ii) participation interests previously purchased fromthrough the FHLBank of Topeka in mortgage loans originated by its members under the MPF Program.
 
Economic Conditions. Our financial condition and results of operations are influenced by the general state of the global and national economies; the conditions in the financial, credit and mortgage markets; the prevailing interest rates; and the economies in our district states and their impact on our member financial institutions.

Global Economy. On February 11,May 12, 2015, Moody’s issued its Global Macro Outlook for 2015-16, focusingwhich focuses on the limited impact of lower oil prices on economic growth. The United States was citeddiffering growth and inflation prospects among many countries as one ofevidenced by the countries where real income gains stemming from lower energy prices would increase spending in other market segments. In contrast, in nations where concerns such as unemployment, political uncertainty or tight fiscal policy are prevalent, the potential benefit of lower energy costs may not translate to economic growth. Nations with economies driven by oil production could face more significant challenges. The report also cites the possibility of an uncertain response to aanticipated tightening of United States monetary policy while other major central banks are expected to ease monetary policy or maintain an accommodative stance. Countries that have built resilience to shifts in financing conditions, including the United States, are viewed as being less vulnerable to negative external or domestic shocks. The report notes that the strong dollar could lead to a stronger dollar and lower capital flows inreduce export activity, but the emerging markets.impact on the overall economy would be modest.

The International Money Fund’s April 2015 World Economic Outlook projects global growth will be 3.5% during 2015. However, the growth is likely to be uneven, with advanced economies improving and emerging and oil-dependent economies experiencing lower growth rates.

The International Monetary Fund’s July 2015 World Economic Outlook Update projects global growth of 3.3% for 2015, down slightly from its April 2015 projection of 3.5%. The reduction reflects a slightly lower than expected activity level in North America during the first quarter. Global growth is projected to increase to 3.8% in 2016, driven in part by increasing oil prices.

United States Economy. TheOn July 30, 2015, the Bureau of Economic Analysis released its "advance" estimate of the United States Gross Domestic Product ("GDP")real GDP for the fourthsecond quarter of 2014 was finalized at a 2.2%2015. The estimated real GDP increase reflectingof 2.3% for the second quarter reflects positive contributions from personal consumption nonresidential fixed investment,expenditures, exports, and state and local government spending and residential fixed investment that were partlypartially offset by negative contributions from federal government spending, and private inventory investment, according to the Department of Commerce.and nonresidential fixed investment.

In its report dated February 11, 2015, Moody’s projects a GDP growth ratesrate of 2.8% for both 2015 and 2016. The 2015 forecast was reduced from the previous forecast of 3.2% and 2.8%due to weaker-than-expected activity levels stemming from temporary factors including unfavorable weather during the first quarter of the year. Moody’s maintained its forecasts for 2015 and 2016, respectively. A GDP growth range ofto fall to between 2.5% toand 3.5% was forecast for both years. Theyears, and for the United States unemployment rate is expected to decline from a 5.0% to 6.0% range for 2015 to a 4.5% to 5.5% range for 2016. The report suggests the FOMC will begin increasing the Federal Funds target rate during the second half of 2015, with gradual increases that keep the rate under 2.0% through 2016.

Freddie Mac’s AprilJune 2015 United States Economic and Housing Market Outlook citesviews the recent growthyear-over-year increase of pending home salesoutstanding debt for single-family properties to be an indicator that housing markets are moving toward normalcy. The report notes growing investor appetite for mortgage bonds, due in part to innovative credit-risk transfer transactions. However, mortgage originations are projected to taper in 2016 as a sign of momentum that could lead to the highest annual home sales volume since 2007. Any delay of a Fed Funds rate hike would be expected to bolster home sales.refinancing activity slows.

On AprilJuly 29, 2015, the FOMC reported that information received suggests that economic growth slowedactivity has been expanding moderately during recent months, as the rate oflabor market improved with job gains moderated and the unemployment rate remained steady.declining unemployment. Growth in household spending declined; households’ real incomes rose strongly, partly reflecting earlier declines in energy prices.has been moderate and the housing sector has shown improvement. Inflation continued to run below the FOMC’s longer-run objective.objective and longer-term inflation expectations remain stable.

The FOMC expects that, with appropriate policy accommodation, economic activity will expand at a moderate pace, with labor market indicators moving toward maximum employment and with inflation gradually rising toward 2%. The FOMC reaffirmed its view that the current 0 to 0.25% target range for the federal funds rate remains appropriate. An increase of the target range for the fedfederal funds rate is expected to be based on further improvement in the labor market and confidence that inflation is moving back to the 2% objective over the medium term.

Indiana and Michigan Economies. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that Michigan’s preliminary unemployment rate was 5.6%5.5% for MarchJune 2015, while Indiana’s preliminary rate was 5.8%4.9%, compared to the national rate of 5.5%5.3%. On April 7,May 29, 2015, the Research Seminar in Quantitative Economics at the University of Michigan projected Michigan’s annualized job growth rate to spikemoderate to 1.4% for the second quarter after spiking to 3.8% during the first quarter of 2015. SlowerMore stable quarterly growth rates are projected through the rest of 2015 and 2016. Anticipated job growth is projected to boost personal income by 4.8%4.2% in 2015 and 4.7%4.5% in 2016. The Center for Econometric Research at Indiana University projects Indiana’s employment and annual income growth rate to peak at 5.5% during the third quarter of 2015 and then move toward lower national rates through 2018. Unemployment is projected to be similargradually decline from 5.6% for March of 2015 to national rates.4.8% by the end of 2018.

Information provided by Black Knight Financial Services for FebruaryMay 2015 shows that Indiana had aIndiana's non-current mortgage rate (loans past due 30 days or more) of 8.3%at 8.2%, and Michigan had aMichigan's non-current mortgage rate of 5.9%at 5.5%, compared to the 6.4% national rate of 6.9%.rate.
 
The Capital Markets. The Office of Finance, our fiscal agent, issues debt in the global capital markets on behalf of the FHLBanks. Our funding operations are dependent on the issuance of such debt, which is affected by events in the capital markets. Taxable money market fund holdings of agency debt fell steadily during the first quarter of 2015.

Effective July 14, 2015, the Office of Finance modified its Discount Note Auction program to enhance its short-term debt issuance programs and to strengthen the FHLBanks' ability to meet the funding needs of their members. The bi-weekly discount note auction was modified to use a single-price (Dutch) award method to determine the winning bids, with the auctions announced thirty-five minutes earlier, at 11:00am Eastern Time. In addition, the 9-week maturity was replaced with an 8-week maturity. The Discount Note Auction program is one of many short- and long-term debt issuance programs and products offered by the FHLBanks.

The decreaseincrease in net income for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to unrealized losses in 2015higher net interest income as well as higher net gains related to derivative and hedging activities,activities. These increases were partially offset by higherlower net proceeds from litigation settlements related to certain of our private-label RMBS.

The decrease in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to lower net proceeds from litigation settlements and higher operating expenses, partially offset by higher net interest income.

The decrease in total other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to a smaller increase in the fair value of AFS OTTI securities and unrealized losses in 2015 on other AFS securities.

The decrease in total other comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of OTTI and other AFS securities during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 compared to an increase in the fair value of OTTI and other AFS securities for the same period in 2014.

Yields. The yield on total interest-earning assets for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 was 1.23%1.22%, a decrease of 156 bps compared to the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, resulting substantially from a lower yieldsyield on advances, mortgage loans due to higher levels of mortgage prepayments that have caused an accelerated runoff of our older MPP loans, which have been generating historically wider spreads, and investment securities, as well ashigher amortization of purchased premiums on our newer loans. This lower prepayment fees on advances. These lower yields wereyield was partially offset by a lower cost of funds related to interest-bearing liabilities. The yield on total interest-bearing liabilities was 0.82%0.85%, a decrease of 115 bps from the prior year period. The net effect of the lower yields on interest-earning assets was a reduction in the net interest spread to 0.41%0.37% for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 from 0.45%0.38% for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2014.

The yield on total interest-earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 1.22%, a decrease of 11 bps compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, resulting primarily from lower yields on advances and mortgage loans. The yield on advances decreased 8 bps primarily due to lower prepayment fees and related amortization on advances. The yield on mortgage loans decreased 33 bps due to higher levels of mortgage prepayments that have caused an accelerated runoff of our older MPP loans, which have been generating historically wider spreads, and higher amortization of purchased premiums on our newer loans. These lower yields were partially offset by a lower cost of funds related to interest-bearing liabilities. The yield on total interest-bearing liabilities was 0.83%, a decrease of 8 bps from the prior year period. The net effect of the lower yields on interest-earning assets was a reduction in the net interest spread to 0.39% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 0.42% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Average Balances. Higher average balances of both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities partially offset the impact of lower yields for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31,same periods in 2014. The increase in interest-earning assets was largely related to advances and mortgage loans held for portfolio. Advances at carrying value totaled $21.8 billion at March 31,The average amount of advances outstanding increased 24% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 a net increase of $1.1 billion, or 5%, compared to December 31, 2014. Mortgagethe same periods in 2014 due primarily to certain members' higher funding needs. The average amount of mortgage loans held for portfolio continued to grow as our mortgage loan purchases totaled $891.4 millionoutstanding increased 25% and 20% for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2015, an increase of 383%respectively, compared to the same periodperiods in 2014.2014 due to higher purchases under MPP Advantage. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to an increase in consolidated obligations to fund the increases in advances and mortgage loans and included an increase in the funding mix from CO bonds to discount notes.

Provision for (Reversal of) Credit Losses. The change in the provision for (reversal of) credit losses for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to a refinement to the haircut applied to the loan-level property values obtained from the third-party model that was implemented in the first quarter of 2015.

The change in the provision for (reversal of) credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to (i) a lower reversal of the portion of the allowance for loan losses on mortgage loans held for portfolio pertaining to potentially unrecoverable amounts from PMI and SMI providers, and (ii) a lower reversal of the MPF allowance for loan losses, partially offset by (iii) the change during the first quarter of 2015 in theour technique for estimating losses on delinquent MPP loans to useincorporate loan-level property values, obtained from a third-party model, with a significant haircut applied, insteadwhich provides more specific estimates of the weighted-average collateral recovery rate.liquidation values than our previous technique.

The decrease in total other income (loss) for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was due to the net proceeds in 2014 from a litigation settlement related to certain private-label RMBS, partially offset by higher net gains in 2015 related to derivative and hedging activities.

The decrease in total other income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily due to unrealized losses in 2015 related to derivative and hedging activities, partially offset by higherlower net proceeds from a litigation settlementsettlements related to certain private-label RMBS.

Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities. Our net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities fluctuate due to volatility in the overall interest rate environment as we hedge our asset or liability risk exposures. In general, we hold derivatives and associated hedged items to the maturity, call, or put date. Therefore, due to timing, nearly all of the cumulative net gains and losses for these financial instruments will reverse over the remaining contractual terms of the hedged item. However, there may be instances when we terminate these instruments prior to maturity or prior to the call or put dates. Terminating the financial instrument or hedging relationship may result in a realized gain or loss. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities for more information.

The unfavorable change in net gains (losses) onestimated fair value of derivatives andin a fair value hedging activitiesrelationship was a gain of $6 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2015, compared to a loss of $3 million and $4 million for the same period inthree and six months ended June 30, 2014, was primarily due to fluctuations in netrespectively. The fair values are based on a wide range of factors, including current and projected levels of interest settlementsrates, credit spreads, and unrealized net gains/lossesvolatility. Gains (losses) related to derivativesfair value hedge ineffectiveness occur when changes in the fair value of the derivative and the associated hedged item do not qualifying for hedge accounting.perfectly offset.

Our net interest income and net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities are affected by the inclusion or exclusion of the net interest income/expense associated with derivatives. For example, if a derivative qualifies for fair-value hedge accounting, the net interest income/expense associated with the derivative is included in net interest income along with the net interest income/expense on the hedged item. If a derivative does not qualify for fair-value hedge accounting or if we have not designated it in such a qualifying hedge relationship, the net interest income/expense associated with the derivative is recorded in net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.

Certain derivatives have failed hedge effectiveness at either trade date or at subsequent assessment. As a result, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, net interest income of $0.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively, was recorded in other income (loss) instead of net interest income.

We continue to carry these derivatives that have failed effectiveness at their estimated fair values and recognize the changes in the estimated fair value in other income (loss) with no offsetting estimated fair value adjustments for the hedged items. The change in estimated fair value of these derivatives was a loss of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and a gain of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The overall impact of the discontinuance of hedge accounting on net income was unfavorable for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and favorable for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Thean increase in other operating expensesexpenses. This increase was caused primarily by an increase in amortization and consulting fees as a result of our implementation of certain information technology initiatives, primarilyresulting from the initial implementation of our core banking system in the fourth quarter of 2014. Additionally, professional fees increased as a result of our implementation of other information technology and strategic initiatives.

Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio. In general, the volume of mortgage loans purchased is affected by several factors, including interest rates, competition, the general level of housing activity in the United States, the level of refinancing activity, consumer product preferences and regulatory considerations. We purchased $1.8 billion of conventional mortgage loans through MPP Advantage in the six months ended June 30, 2015. TheFinance Agency has established low-income housing goals for FHLBanks that acquire, in any calendar year, more than $2.5 billion of conventional mortgages through an AMA program. Therefore, if our 2015 purchase volume in MPP Advantage reaches $2.5 billion, we could become subject to these low-income housing goals. We continue to monitor the level of our MPP Advantage purchases and to evaluate the potential impacts of becoming subject to low-income housing goals in our AMA program.

The increase in the UPB of mortgage loans held for portfolio was due to the excess of purchases of mortgage loans under MPP Advantage over repayments of outstanding MPP loans. Upon implementation of MPP Advantage in 2010 for new conventional MPP loans, the original MPP was phased out and is no longer being used for acquisitions of new conventional loans. Over time, the outstanding balance of mortgage loans purchased under our original MPP will continue to decrease.

We have established and maintain an allowance for loan losses based on our best estimate of probable losses over the loss emergence period. Our estimate of MPP losses remaining after borrower's equity was $20.112 million at March 31,June 30, 2015 and $25.225 million at December 31, 2014. This decrease from December 31, 2014 to March 31,June 30, 2015 was primarily the result of a reduction in the number of(i) fewer delinquent mortgage loans, as well as(ii) a change during the first quarter of 2015 in the technique for estimating losses on delinquent MPP loans to incorporate loan-level property values obtained from a third-party model, with a haircut applied, instead of using a historical weighted-average collateral recovery rate, (iii) the charge-off portions of mortgage loans that were 180 days past due, and (iv) a reduction in potential claims by servicers on principal and interest previously paid in full.

After we considered the portion recoverable under the associated credit enhancements, the resulting allowance for MPP loan losses was $2.01 million at March 31,June 30, 2015 and $2.32 million at December 31, 2014. This decrease was primarily due to charge-offs of mortgage loans deemed uncollectible, partially offset by estimated losses on delinquent MPP loans based on loan-level property values obtained from a third-party model, with a significant haircut applied.

The total outstanding balance and composition of our short-term investment portfolio is influenced by our liquidity needs, market conditions and the availability of short-term investments at attractive interest rates, relative to our cost of funds. Cash andshort-term investments totaled $4.1 billion at March 31, 2015, an increase of 15% compared to December 31, 2014. This increase in liquidity was needed to support our growth in advances and mortgage loans. As a percent of total assets, cash and short-term investments remained the same at 9%.

Total Liabilities. Total liabilities were $41.243.0 billion at March 31,June 30, 2015, a net increase of 4%9% compared to December 31, 2014. This increase of $1.8$3.5 billion was primarily attributable to an increase in consolidated obligations to fund our asset growth.

Deposits (Liabilities). Total deposits were $1.41.2 billion at March 31,June 30, 2015, an increase of 32%7% compared to December 31, 2014. The balances of these custodial accounts can fluctuate from period to period.

Consolidated Obligations. At March 31,June 30, 2015, the carrying values of our discount notes and CO bonds totaled $11.211.8 billion and $28.229.6 billion, respectively, compared to $12.6 billion and $25.5 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2014. The overall balance of our consolidated obligations fluctuates in relation to our total assets and the availability of alternative sources of funds. The carrying value of our discount notes was 28% of total consolidated obligations at March 31,June 30, 2015, compared to 33% at December 31, 2014.

Excess Stock. Excess stock is capital stock that is not required as a condition of membership or to support services to members or former members. In general, the level of excess stock fluctuates with our members' demand for advances. Finance Agency regulations prohibit an FHLBank from issuing new excess stock if the amount of excess stock outstanding exceeds 1% of its total assets. At March 31, 2015, our outstanding excess stock of $463.6 million was equal to 1.1% of our total assets. Therefore, we are currently not permitted to issue new excess stock or distribute stock dividends.

The following table presents the composition of our excess stock ($ amounts in millions).

In May 2015, we repurchased a total of $241 million of excess capital stock. These repurchases were undertaken for general capital management purposes in accordance with our capital plan.

Capital Distributions. On AprilJuly 29, 2015, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of 4.00%4.25% (annualized) on our capital stock putable-Class B-1 and 3.20%3.40% (annualized) on our capital stock putable-Class B-2 based on our net income for the three monthsquarter ended March 31,June 30, 2015, as well as other factors as stated in Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities - Dividends in our 2014 Form 10-K.

Adequacy of Capital. At March 31,June 30, 2015, our regulatory capital ratio was 5.45%4.89%, and our leverage capital ratio was 8.17%.7.34%, both in excess of the regulatory requirement. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 12 - Capital for more information.

In addition, we must maintain sufficient permanent capital to meet the combined credit risk, market risk and operations risk components of the risk-based capital requirement. As presented in the following table, we were in compliance with the risk-based capital requirement at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 ($ amounts in millions).

Total risk-based capital requirement $529

The decrease in our risk-based capital requirement was primarily caused by a decrease in the market risk capital component in response to changes in market interest rates and the market risk profile of assets and liabilities. The operations risk capital component is calculated as 30% of the credit and market risk capital components.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
We have identified four accounting policies that we believe are critical because they require management to make particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These accounting policies relate to:

Derivatives and hedging activities (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities for more detail);
Fair value estimates (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 15 - Estimated Fair Values for more detail);
Provision for credit losses (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses for more detail); and
OTTI (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 5 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment for more detail).

A full discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates can be found in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our 2014 Form 10-K. See below for additional information regarding certain of these policies.

Provision for Credit Losses.

Mortgage Loans Acquired under the MPP. Our allowance for loan losses incorporates our analysis of delinquent conventional MPP loans, using the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, further reduced by estimated liquidation costs.

InBeginning in the first quarter of 2015, we changedrefined our technique for estimating losses on mortgage loans past due 180 days or more to useincorporate loan-level property values obtained from a third-party model. A significant haircut wasof 25% is applied to these loan-level values to capture the potential impact of severely distressed property sales. The reduced values wereare then aggregated to the pool level and wereare further reduced for estimated liquidation costs to determine the estimated liquidation value.

We also performedperform our loan loss analysis under an adverse scenario whereby we increasedincrease the haircut on our underlying collateral values to 45% for delinquent conventional loans, including individually evaluated loans. While holding all other assumptions constant, such scenario would have increased our allowance by approximately $1.4$2 million at March 31,June 30, 2015. We consider a haircut of 45% on the modeled values to be the lowest value that is reasonably possible to occur over the loss emergence period of 24 months. We continue to monitor the appropriateness of this adverse scenario.

We evaluated this adverse scenario and determined that the likelihood of incurring losses resulting from this scenario during the next 24 months was not probable. Therefore, the allowance for loan losses is based upon our best estimate of the probable losses over the next 24 months that would not be recovered from the credit enhancements.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Analysis. In addition to evaluating our private-label RMBS under a best estimate scenario, we performedperform a cash flow analysis for each of these securities under a more stressful housing price scenario. This more stressful scenario wasis primarily based on a short-term housing price forecast, which wasis 5% lower than the best estimate scenario, followed by a recovery path with annual rates of housing price growth that wereare 33% lower than the best estimate.

There were noThe actual OTTI-related credit losses recognized in earnings for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2015 under either the best estimate orwere $32 thousand. Under the more stressful scenario.scenario, the OTTI-related credit losses estimate would have been $84 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Additional information regarding OTTI of our private-label RMBS and ABS is provided in Notes to Financial Statements - Note 5 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Risk Management - Credit Risk Management - Investments herein.

Advisory Bulletin on Core Mission Achievement. On July 14, 2015, the Finance Agency issued Advisory Bulletin 2015-05, establishing a core mission asset ratio by which the Finance Agency will assess each FHLBank’s core mission achievement. Core mission achievement is determined using a ratio of primary mission assets, which includes advances and mortgage loans acquired from members, to consolidated obligations. The core mission asset ratio will be determined annually, starting at year-end 2015, and will be calculated using annual average par values.
The advisory bulletin provides the Finance Agency’s expectations for each FHLBank’s strategic plan based on its ratio, which are:

when the ratio is 70% or higher, the strategic plan should include an assessment of the FHLBank’s prospects for maintaining at least this level;
when the ratio is between 55% and 70%, the strategic plan should explain the FHLBank’s plan to increase its mission achievement; and
when the ratio is below 55%, the strategic plan should include an explanation of the circumstances that caused the ratio to be at that level and detailed plans to increase the ratio. The advisory bulletin provides that if an FHLBank maintains a ratio below 55% over the course of several consecutive reviews, then the FHLBank’s board of directors should consider possible strategic alternatives.

Our core mission activities primarily include the issuance of advances. In addition, we acquire mortgage loans from members through the MPP.

Risk Management

We have exposure to a number of risks in pursuing our business objectives. These risks may be broadly classified as market, credit, liquidity, operational, and business. Market risk is discussed in detail in Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Management in our 2014 Form 10-K for more detailed information.

Credit Risk Management. We face credit risk on advances and other credit products, investments, mortgage loans, derivative financial instruments, and AHP grants.

Advances. Advances, at par, to our insurance company members were 58% and 61% of total advances at March 31,June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Insurance2014, respectively. Our credit policy requires an additional approval by our Bank to lend to an insurance company membersmember whose total credit products exceed 15% of general account assets less borrowed money require additional approval by our Bank to borrow as provided in our credit policy.money. As of March 31,June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had advances outstanding, at par, of $4.9$5.4 billion to sixnine of our insurance company members and $4.6 billion to five of our insurance company members, respectively, whose total credit products exceeded 15% of their general account assets, net of borrowed money. ThreeSix of these sixnine insurance company members as of March 31,June 30, 2015 are captive insurance companies.companies for which management establishes a borrowing limit on a case-by-case basis based on a review and recommendation by our credit services underwriting department.

Concentration. Our credit risk is magnified due to the concentration of advances in a few borrowers. As of March 31,June 30, 2015, our top two borrowers held 20%19% of total advances outstanding, at par, and our top five borrowers held 42% of total advances outstanding, at par. As a result of this concentration, we perform frequent credit and collateral reviews on our largest borrowers. In addition, we analyze the implications to our financial management and profitability if we were to lose the business of one or more of these borrowers.


59



Investments. We are also exposed to credit risk through our investment portfolios. The RMP approved by our board of directors restricts the acquisition of investments to high-quality, short-term money market instruments and high-quality long-term securities.

Short-Term InvestmentsAt March 31, 2015, we did not have any unsecured credit exposure to investments in United States branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks. Our short-term investment portfolio at March 31,June 30, 2015 included securities purchased under agreements to resell, which are secured by United States treasuries and mature overnight. Our unsecured credit exposure to United States branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks was limited to federal funds sold.

The following table presents the unsecured investment credit exposures to all private counterparties, categorized by the domicile of the counterparty's parent, based on the lowest of the NRSRO long-term credit ratings of the counterparty, each stated in terms of the S&P equivalent. The table does not reflect the foreign sovereign government's credit rating ($ amounts in millions).

Long-Term Investments. A Finance Agency regulation provides that the total value of our investments in MBS and ABS, calculated using amortized historical cost, must not exceed 300% of our total regulatory capital, consisting of retained earnings, Class B capital stock, and MRCS, as of the day we purchase the securities, based on the capital amount most recently reported to the Finance Agency. These investments as a percentagewere 307% of total regulatory capital at June 30, 2015. Although our outstanding investments in MBS and ABS exceeded the limitation at June 30, 2015, we were 286%in compliance at March 31, 2015.the time we purchased the investments; therefore, we were not out of compliance with the regulation. However, we are not permitted to purchase additional investments in MBS and ABS until these outstanding investments are within the capital limitation. Generally, our goal is to maintain these investments near the 300% limit in order to enhance earnings and capital for our members and diversify our revenue stream.

Private-label RMBS and ABS. Private-label RMBS and ABS are classified as prime, Alt-A or subprime based on the originator's classification at the time of origination or based on classification by an NRSRO upon issuance. Because there is no universally accepted definition of prime, Alt-A or subprime underwriting standards, such classifications are subjective. All private-label RMBS and ABS were rated with an S&P equivalent rating of AAA at the date of purchase.

Our private-label RMBS and ABS are backed by collateral located only in the United States and the District of Columbia. The top five states, by percentage of collateral located in those states as of March 31,June 30, 2015,, were California (64%(65%), New York (6%), Florida (4%), VirginiaConnecticut (3%), and Connecticut (3%Virginia (2%).

OTTI Evaluation Process.The following table presents the significant modeling assumptions used to determine whether a security was OTTI during the second quarter of 2015, as well as the related current credit enhancement as of June 30, 2015. 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 of the OTTI private-label RMBS and ABS in each category shown. RMBS and ABS are classified as prime, Alt-A or subprime based on the model used to estimate the cash flows for the security, which may not be the same as the classification by the rating agency at the time of origination ($ amounts in millions).

Credit Risk Exposure to SMI Providers.SMI. As of March 31,June 30, 2015, we were the beneficiary of SMI coverage, under our original MPP, on conventional mortgage pools with a total UPB of $1.8 billion.$1.6 billion. Two mortgage insurance companies provide all of the SMI coverage.

The following table presents the lowest credit rating of S&P, Moody's and Fitch stated in terms of the S&P equivalent as of April 30,July 31, 2015, and the estimated SMI exposure as of March 31,June 30, 2015 ($ amounts in millions).

MPP and MPF Loan Characteristics. Two indicators of credit quality are LTV ratios and credit scores provided by FICO®. FICO® provides a commonly used measure to assess a borrower’s credit quality, with scores ranging from a low of 300 to a high of 850. The combination of a lower FICO® score and a higher LTV ratio is a key driverindicator of potential mortgage delinquencies and defaults.

As of March 31,June 30, 2015,, 95% 96% of the borrowers in our conventional loan portfolio had FICO® scores greater than 680 at origination and 85% had an LTV ratio of 80% or lower. We believe these measures indicate that these loans have a low risk of default. We do not knowingly purchase any loan that violates the terms of our Anti-Predatory Lending Policy.
MPP and MPF Loan Concentration. The following table presents the percentage of UPB of conventional loans outstanding for the five largest state concentrations.
By State March 31, 2015 December 31, 2014

MPP and MPF Credit Performance. The serious delinquency rate for MPP FHA mortgages was 0.59%0.45% and 0.56% at March 31,June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014,, respectively. We rely on insurance provided by the FHA, which generally provides coverage for 100% of the principal balance of the underlying mortgage loan and defaulted interest at the debenture rate. However, we would receive defaulted interest at the contractual rate from the servicer.
   
The serious delinquency rate for MPP conventional mortgages was 0.70%0.56% at March 31,June 30, 2015, compared to 0.86% at December 31, 2014. Both rates were below the national serious delinquency rate. There were three seriously delinquent conventional MPF loans at March 31,June 30, 2015 compared to two at December 31, 2014.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Measuring Market Risks
 
We utilize multiple risk measurements, including duration of equity, duration gap, convexity, VaR, earnings at risk, and changes in market value of equity, to evaluate market risk. Periodically, we conduct stress tests are conducted to measure and analyze the effects that extreme movements in the level of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve would have on our risk position.
 
Duration of Equity. The following table presents the effective duration of equity levels for our total position, which are subject to internal policyour RMP guidelines.
Date 
-200 bps (1)
 0 bps +200 bps
March 31,June 30, 2015 (3.8)(2.7) years 2.51.6 years 2.92.4 years
December 31, 2014 (3.7) years (0.0) years 2.6 years
 
(1) 
Our internal policyRMP guidelines provide for the calculation of the duration of equity in a low-rate environment to be based on the Finance Agency Advisory Bulletin 03-09, as modified September 3, 2008. Under these guidelines, our duration of equity for the -200 bps duration level was 2.5 years at March 31, 2015 and (0.0) years at December 31, 2014, which wereis equal to the levelslevel under the base case (0 bps).

We were in compliance with the duration of equity limits established by our RMP at both dates. The increase in the base case duration of equity level (0 bps) at March 31,June 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014 was partly due to changes in the market rate environment. This resulted in the shortening of the duration of both assets and liabilities; however, the duration of our liabilities shortened more than the duration of our assets, which lengthened the duration of equity.

Duration Gap. The base case duration gap was 0.90.3 months at March 31,June 30, 2015, compared to (0.9) months at December 31, 2014. The causes of this change are the same as the causes of the change in the duration of equity.

Market Risk-Based Capital Requirement. When calculating the risk-based capital requirement, the VaR comprising the first factor of the market risk component is defined as the potential dollar loss from adverse market movements, for a holding period of 120 business days, with a 99% confidence interval, based on those historical prices and market rates. The table below presents the VaR ($ amounts in millions).
Date VaR VaR
March 31, 2015 $130
June 30, 2015 $147
December 31, 2014 156
 156

Ratio of Market Value to Book Value of Equity between Base Rates and Shift Scenarios. We measure potential changes in the market value to book value of equity based on the current month-end level of rates versus large parallel rate shifts. This measurement provides information related to the sensitivity of our interest-rate position. The table below presents the ratios of market value to book value of equity. 
Date -200 bps Base +200 bps
March 31, 2015 102% 102% 98%
December 31, 2014 102% 103% 100%

The decrease in the base case ratio of market value to book value of equity at March 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014 was primarily due to the liabilities pricing higher relative to assets in response to the changes in the market environment.
Date -200 bps Base +200 bps
June 30, 2015 105% 103% 100%
December 31, 2014 102% 103% 100%

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") is: (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms; and (b) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As of March 31,June 30, 2015, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the Principal Executive Officer), Chief Financial Officer (the Principal Financial Officer), and Chief Accounting Officer (the Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31,June 30, 2015.
 
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Exchange Act that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and other internal controls will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can only be reasonable assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Additionally, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are unaware of any potential claims against us that could be material.

Private-Label Mortgage-Backed Securities Litigation

On October 15, 2010, we filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Marion County, Indiana, relating to private-label residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") we purchased in the aggregate original principal amount of approximately $2.9 billion. The complaint, which was amended, was an action for rescission and damages and asserted claims for negligent misrepresentation and violations of state and federal securities law occurring in connection with the sale of these private-label RMBS to us. During 2013, 2014 and 2015, we executed confidential settlement agreements with certain defendants in this litigation, pursuant to which we have dismissed all pending claims against, and provided legal releases to, certain entities with respect to all applicable securities at issue in the litigation, in consideration of our receipt of cash payments from or on behalf of those defendants. As a result, all proceedings in this private-label RMBS litigation have been concluded.
