Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions)
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The information included in these unaudited financial statements reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed. The results of operations in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period or for the entire year ending December 31, 2006. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Bank’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (2005 Form 10-K).
Descriptions of the Bank’s significant accounting policies are included in Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these policies as of September 30, 2006.
Use of Estimates.The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make a number of judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if applicable, and the reported amounts of income, expenses, gains, and losses during the reporting period. Changes in judgments, estimates, and assumptions could potentially affect the Bank’s financial position and results of operations significantly. Although management believes these judgments, estimates, and assumptions to be reasonably accurate, actual results may differ.
Note 2 – Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Bank has not yet determined the effect that the implementation of SFAS 157 will have on its financial position or results of operations.
SFAS No. 158. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)(SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires that an employer recognize the funded status of its defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans in the statement of condition and recognize as a component of other comprehensive income the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not immediately recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost. SFAS 158 also requires additional disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. SFAS 158 is effective as of the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The Bank plans to adopt SFAS 158 for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. SFAS 158 also requires an employer to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal yearend statement of condition effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Bank does not expect the adoption of SFAS 158 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108. In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released SAB No. 108,Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108), which provides interpretive guidance on how SEC registrants should quantify financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 requires SEC registrants to use a “dual approach” to assessing the quantitative effects of errors using both a balance sheet-focused assessment and an income statement-focused assessment, and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
misstatement that is material, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered. SAB 108 provides transition accounting and disclosure guidance for situations in which an SEC registrant concludes that a material error existed in prior period financial statements under the dual approach. Specifically, SEC registrants will be permitted to restate prior period financial statements or recognize the cumulative effect in initially applying SAB 108 through an adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the year of adoption. SAB 108 is effective for annual financial statements in the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The Bank is currently assessing the impact the application of SAB 108 will have on its financial statements.

Security Terms. The Bank lends to member financial institutions involved in housing finance that have a principal place of business in Arizona, California, or Nevada. The Bank is required by the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (FHLB Act), to obtain sufficient collateral for advances to protect against losses and to accept as collateral for advances only certain U.S. government or government agency securities, residential mortgage loans or MBS, other eligible real estate-related assets, cash or deposits in the Bank, and Bank capital stock. The Bank may also accept secured small business, small farm, and small agribusiness loans as collateral from members that qualify as community financial institutions. Community financial institutions are defined for 2006 as Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured depository

institutions with average total assets over the preceding three-year period of $587 or less. For additional information on security terms, see Note 7 to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K.
Credit and Concentration Risk. The Bank’s potential credit risk from advances is concentrated in savings institutions. As of September 30, 2006, the Bank had a concentration of advances totaling $119,447 outstanding to three members, representing 69% of total outstanding advances (33% to Citibank (West), FSB; 22% to Washington Mutual Bank; and 14% to World Savings Bank, FSB). As of December 31, 2005, the Bank had a concentration of advances totaling $115,250 outstanding to three members, representing 71% of total outstanding advances (35% to Washington Mutual Bank; 19% to Citibank (West), FSB; and 17% to World Savings Bank, FSB).
During the third quarter of 2006 and 2005, the interest income from advances to these members amounted to $1,540 and $958, respectively, or 69% and 71%, respectively, of total interest income from advances. During the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, the interest income from advances to these members amounted to $4,202 and $2,405, respectively, or 69% and 70%, respectively, of total interest income from advances.
The Bank held a security interest in collateral from each of these institutions with an estimated value in excess of their respective advances outstanding, and the Bank does not expect to incur any credit losses on these advances. Each of these members owned more than 10% of the Bank’s capital stock outstanding as of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005.
On October 1, 2006, Citibank (West), FSB, was reorganized into its affiliate Citibank, N.A., and Citibank, N.A., assumed the outstanding advances of Citibank (West), FSB. On October 2, 2006, Citibank, N.A., became a member of the Bank.
The Bank has never experienced any credit losses on advances to a member. The Bank has policies and procedures in place to manage the credit risk of advances. Based on the collateral pledged as security for advances, management’s credit analyses of members’ financial condition, and prior repayment history, no allowance for losses on advances is deemed necessary by management.

Note 5 – Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio
Under the Mortgage Partnership Finance® (MPF®) Program, the Bank may purchase qualifying mortgage loans directly from its participating members. (“Mortgage Partnership Finance” and “MPF” are registered trademarks of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago.) The mortgage loans represent held-for-portfolio loans. Under the MPF Program, participating members originate or purchase the mortgage loans, credit-enhance them and sell them to the Bank, and generally retain the servicing of the loans.
On October 6, 2006, the Bank announced that it will no longer offer new commitments to purchase mortgage loans from its members, but that it intends to purchase mortgage loans under existing purchase commitments and to retain its existing portfolio of mortgage loans. Most of the growth in the MPF Program occurred in 2003, and since that time the Bank’s purchased mortgage loan balances have declined. In particular, mortgage loan purchase activity was low during 2005 and the first nine months of 2006 because (i) originations of conforming fixed rate mortgage loans were lower in these periods than in prior years, (ii) member business strategies led most participating members to sell their conforming fixed rate mortgage loans to other purchasers, and (iii) the Bank limited its purchases of fixed rate mortgage loans because the profit spreads available were below the Bank’s targets.

For taking on the credit enhancement obligation, the Bank pays the participating member a credit enhancement fee, which is calculated on the remaining unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loans. The Bank records credit enhancement fees as a reduction to interest income. In the third quarter of 2006 and 2005, the Bank reduced net interest income for credit enhancement fees totaling $2 and $1, respectively. In the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, the Bank reduced net interest income for credit enhancement fees totaling $4 and $4, respectively.
Concentration Risk. At September 30, 2006, 75% and 15% of the mortgage loan balances held by the Bank were purchased from Washington Mutual Bank and IndyMac Bank, FSB, respectively, out of the ten participating members. At December 31, 2005, 75% and 16% of the mortgage loan balances held by the Bank were purchased from Washington Mutual Bank and IndyMac Bank, FSB, respectively, out of the nine participating members. Of these two members, only Washington Mutual Bank owned more than 10% of the capital stock outstanding as of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005. No other participants in the MPF Program represented more than 10% of the Bank’s mortgage loan portfolio at September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005.
Credit Risk. A loan is considered to be impaired when it is reported 90 days or more past due (nonaccrual) or when it is probable, based on current information and events, that the Bank will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage loan agreement. At September 30, 2006, the Bank had 30 loans totaling $4 classified as nonaccrual or impaired. Twenty of these loans totaling $2 were in foreclosure or bankruptcy. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had 38 loans totaling $4 classified as nonaccrual or impaired. Twenty of these loans totaling $3 were in foreclosure or bankruptcy.
The allowance for credit losses on the mortgage loan portfolio was as follows:

At September 30, 2006, the Bank’s other assets included $0.2 of real estate owned resulting from foreclosure of three mortgage loans held by the Bank. At December 31, 2005, the Bank’s other assets included $0.3 of real estate owned resulting from foreclosure of three mortgage loans held by the Bank.

Note 6 – Consolidated Obligations
Consolidated obligations, consisting of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes, are jointly issued by the FHLBanks through the Office of Finance, which serves as the FHLBanks’ agent. The Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board) and the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury have oversight over the issuance of FHLBank debt through the Office of Finance. As provided by the FHLB Act or Finance Board regulation, all FHLBanks have joint and several liability for all FHLBank consolidated obligations. For discussion of the Finance Board’s joint and several liability regulation, see Note 18 to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K. In connection with each debt issuance, each FHLBank specifies the type, term, and amount of debt it requests to have issued on its behalf. The Office of Finance tracks the amount of debt issued on behalf of each FHLBank. In addition, the Bank separately tracks and records as a liability its specific portion of the consolidated obligations issued and is the primary obligor for that portion of the consolidated obligations.
Redemption Terms. The following is a summary of the Bank’s participation in consolidated obligation bonds outstanding at September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005.

The Bank’s participation in consolidated obligation bonds outstanding includes callable bonds of $53,295 at September 30, 2006, and $60,271 at December 31, 2005. Contemporaneous with the issuance of callable bonds for which the Bank is the primary obligor, the Bank usually enters into an interest rate swap (in which the Bank pays a variable rate and receives a fixed rate) with a call feature that mirrors the call option embedded in the bond (a sold callable swap). The Bank had notional amounts of interest rate exchange agreements hedging callable bonds of $38,584 at September 30, 2006, and $47,737 at December 31, 2005. The combined sold callable swap and callable bond enable the Bank to meet its funding needs at costs not otherwise directly attainable solely through the issuance of non-callable debt, while effectively converting the Bank’s net payment to an adjustable rate. The Bank uses fixed rate callable bonds to finance fixed rate callable advances, fixed rate MBS, and fixed rate mortgage loans.

Section 11(i) of the FHLB Act authorizes the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, at his or her discretion, to purchase certain obligations issued by the FHLBanks aggregating not more than $4,000 under certain conditions. The terms, conditions, and interest rates are determined by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. There were no such purchases by the U.S. Treasury during the first nine months of 2006.
Note 7 – Capital
Capital Requirements. The Bank is subject to risk-based capital requirements, which must be met with permanent capital (defined as retained earnings and Class B stock). In addition, the Bank is subject to a 5% minimum leverage capital ratio with a 1.5 weighting factor for permanent capital, and a 4% minimum total capital-to-assets ratio calculated without reference to the 1.5 weighting factor. As of September 30, 2006, and

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2005, the Bank was in compliance with these capital rules and requirements. The FHLB Act and Finance Board regulations require that the minimum stock requirement for members must be sufficient to enable the Bank to meet its regulatory requirements for total capital, leverage capital, and risk-based capital. In addition, in accordance with the Finance Board’s interpretation, mandatorily redeemable capital stock that is classified as a liability for financial reporting purposes under SFAS No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS 150), is considered capital for determining the Bank’s compliance with its regulatory capital requirements.
The following table shows the Bank’s compliance with the Finance Board’s capital requirements at September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005.

The Bank’s capital requirements are more fully discussed in Note 13 to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K.
Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock. The Bank had mandatorily redeemable capital stock held by 11 former members totaling $94 at September 30, 2006, of which $31 was scheduled for redemption in 2009, $4 was scheduled for redemption in 2010, and $59 was scheduled for redemption in 2011. All 11 of these former members had notified the Bank to redeem their capital stock because of mergers with or acquisitions by nonmember institutions. During 2006, the Bank repurchased the mandatorily redeemable capital stock held by a former member that had no continuing capital stock requirement.
The Bank had mandatorily redeemable capital stock held by eight former members totaling $47 at December 31, 2005, of which $43 was scheduled for redemption in 2009 and $4 was scheduled for redemption in 2010. Of these eight former members, seven had notified the Bank to redeem their capital stock because of mergers with or acquisitions by nonmember institutions and one had outstanding a request that the Bank repurchase all of its excess mandatorily redeemable capital stock following withdrawal from membership.
These mandatorily redeemable capital stock amounts included accrued interest expense (accrued stock dividends) of $1 at September 30, 2006, and $2 at December 31, 2005, and have been classified as a liability in the Statements of Condition.
The following table presents the Bank’s activity for mandatorily redeemable capital stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy. The Bank’s Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy establishes amounts to be retained in restricted retained earnings, which are not made available for dividends in the current dividend period.
In accordance with the Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy, the Bank retains in restricted retained earnings any cumulative net unrealized gains in earnings (net of applicable assessments) resulting from the application of SFAS 133. Retained earnings restricted in accordance with this provision totaled $28 at September 30, 2006, and $44 at December 31, 2005.
In addition, the Bank holds other restricted retained earnings intended to protect members’ paid-in capital from an extremely adverse credit or operations risk event, an extremely adverse SFAS 133 quarterly result, or an extremely low (or negative) level of net income before the effects of SFAS 133 resulting from an adverse interest rate environment. The retained earnings restricted in accordance with this provision totaled $110 at September 30, 2006, and $87 at December 31, 2005, and is targeted to reach $130 by the end of the third quarter of 2007.
On June 14, 2006, the Bank announced that the Board of Directors had amended the Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy to increase the target for the build-up of retained earnings other than SFAS 133 fair value gains to $296 and to make available for dividends, beginning with the third quarter of 2006, approximately 80% of net income (excluding the effects of SFAS 133) until that target was reached. On June 30, 2006, the Bank’s Board of Directors voted to delay implementation of the amendment to provide additional time to review alternatives to the Bank’s capital structure.
For more information on these two categories of restricted retained earnings and the Bank’s Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy, see Note 13 to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K.
Excess and Surplus Capital Stock. The Bank may repurchase some or all of a member’s excess capital stock and any excess mandatorily redeemable capital stock, at the Bank’s discretion. At its discretion, the Bank may also repurchase some or all of a member’s excess capital stock at the member’s request. Excess capital stock is defined as any stock holdings in excess of a member’s minimum capital stock requirement, as established by the Bank’s capital plan.
The Bank’s surplus capital stock repurchase policy provides for the Bank to repurchase excess stock that constitutes surplus stock, at the Bank’s discretion, if a member has surplus capital stock as of the last business day of the quarter. A member’s surplus capital stock is defined as any stock holdings in excess of 115% of the member’s minimum capital stock requirement, generally excluding stock dividends earned and credited for the current year.
15
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
On a quarterly basis, the Bank determines whether it will repurchase excess capital stock, including surplus capital stock. The Bank generally repurchases capital stock approximately one month after the end of each quarter. On the scheduled repurchase date, the Bank recalculates the amount of stock to be repurchased to ensure that each member will continue to meet its minimum stock requirement after the stock repurchase.
The Bank repurchased surplus capital stock totaling $423 in the third quarter of 2006 and $218 in the third quarter of 2005. The Bank also repurchased excess capital stock that was not surplus capital stock totaling $608 in the third quarter of 2006 and $4 in the third quarter of 2005.
The Bank repurchased surplus capital stock totaling $1,036 in the first nine months of 2006 and $420 in the first nine months of 2005. The Bank also repurchased excess capital stock that was not surplus capital stock totaling $1,195 in the first nine months of 2006 and $58 in the first nine months of 2005.
Excess capital stock totaled $1,225 as of September 30, 2006, which included surplus capital stock of $287. On October 31, 2006, the Bank repurchased $236 of surplus capital stock. The Bank also repurchased $424 of excess capital stock that was not surplus capital stock, including $418 in excess capital stock that was the subject of repurchase requests submitted during the third quarter of 2006 by two members, and $6 in excess mandatorily redeemable capital stock repurchased from former members of the Bank. Excess capital stock totaled $629 after the October 31, 2006, capital stock repurchase.
For more information on excess and surplus capital stock, see Note 13 to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K.
Concentration. As of September 30, 2006, the Bank had a concentration of capital stock totaling 64 million shares outstanding to three members, representing 63% of total capital stock and mandatorily redeemable capital stock outstanding (27% to Citibank (West), FSB; 22% to Washington Mutual Bank; and 14% to World Savings Bank, FSB). On October 1, 2006, Citibank (West), FSB, was reorganized into its affiliate Citibank, N.A., and Citibank, N.A., assumed the outstanding capital stock of Citibank (West), FSB. On October 2, 2006, Citibank, N.A., became a member of the Bank.
As of December 31, 2005, the Bank had a concentration of capital stock totaling 61 million shares outstanding to three members, representing 64% of total capital stock and mandatorily redeemable capital stock outstanding (35% to Washington Mutual Bank; 15% to Citibank (West), FSB; and 14% to World Savings Bank, FSB).
Note 8 – Segment Information
The Bank analyzes financial performance based on the balances and adjusted net interest income of two operating segments, the advances-related business and the mortgage-related business, based on the Bank’s method of internal reporting. For purposes of segment reporting, adjusted net interest income includes interest income and expenses associated with economic hedges that are recorded in “Net loss on derivatives and hedging activities” in other income. It is at the adjusted net interest income level that the Bank’s chief operating decision maker reviews and analyzes financial performance and determines the allocation of resources to the two operating segments. Except for the interest income and expenses associated with economic hedges, the Bank does not allocate other income, other expense, or assessments to its operating segments.
The advances-related business consists of advances and other credit products provided to members, related financing and hedging instruments, liquidity and other non-MBS investments associated with the Bank’s role as a liquidity provider, and member capital. Adjusted net interest income for this segment is derived primarily from the difference, or spread, between the yield on all assets associated with the business activities in this segment and the cost of funding those activities, cash flows from associated interest rate exchange agreements, and earnings on invested member capital.
The mortgage-related business consists of MBS investments, mortgage loans acquired through the MPF Program, the consolidated obligations specifically identified as funding those assets, and related hedging instruments. Adjusted net interest income for this segment is derived primarily from the difference, or spread,
16
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
between the yield on the MBS and mortgage loans and the cost of the consolidated obligations funding those assets, including the cash flows from associated interest rate exchange agreements, less the provision for credit losses on mortgage loans.
On October 6, 2006, the Bank announced that it will no longer offer new commitments to purchase mortgage loans from its members, but that it intends to purchase mortgage loans under existing purchase commitments and to retain its existing portfolio of mortgage loans.
The following table presents the Bank’s adjusted net interest income by operating segment and reconciles total adjusted net interest income to income before assessments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

Note 9 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. The gains and losses on derivative instruments that are reported in other comprehensive income are recognized as earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged item. The gains or losses on the ineffective portion of all hedges are recognized in current period earnings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument that does not qualify as a hedge of an asset or liability under SFAS 133 for asset/liability management (economic hedge) are recorded each period in current earnings.
For more information on the Bank’s use of derivatives and hedging activities, see Note 16 to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, there were no reclassifications from other comprehensive income into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges because the original forecasted transactions occurred by the end of the originally specified time period or within a two-month period thereafter. As of September 30, 2006, approximately $0.6 in unrecognized net losses on derivative instruments accumulated in other comprehensive income is expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months. The maximum length of time over which the Bank is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions, excluding those forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments, is less than three months.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Credit Risk –The Bank is subject to credit risk as a result of the risk of nonperformance by counterparties to the derivative agreements. All derivative agreements are subject to master netting arrangements with each counterparty to mitigate the credit risk exposure. The Bank manages counterparty credit risk through credit analyses and collateral requirements and by following the requirements of the Bank’s risk management policies and credit guidelines. Based on the master netting arrangements, its credit analyses, and the collateral requirements in place with each counterparty, management of the Bank does not anticipate any credit losses on its agreements, and no allowance for losses is deemed necessary by management.
The contractual or notional amounts of interest rate exchange agreements reflect the extent of the Bank’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments. The Bank had notional amounts outstanding of $271,818 at September 30, 2006, and $244,437 at December 31, 2005. The notional amount does not represent the exposure to credit loss. The amount potentially subject to credit loss is the estimated cost of replacing an interest rate exchange agreement that has a net positive market value if the counterparty defaults; this amount is substantially less than the notional amount.
Maximum credit risk is defined as the estimated cost of replacing all interest rate exchange agreements the Bank has transacted with counterparties where the Bank is in a net favorable position (has a net unrealized gain) if the counterparties all defaulted and the related collateral proved to be of no value to the Bank. At September 30, 2006, the Bank’s maximum credit risk, as defined above, was estimated at $26, including $6 of net accrued interest receivable. At December 31, 2005, the Bank’s maximum credit risk was estimated at $24, including $1 of net accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest receivables and payables and the legal right to offset assets and liabilities by counterparty (under which amounts recognized for individual transactions may be offset against amounts recognized for other transactions with the same counterparty) are considered in determining the maximum credit risk. The Bank held cash, investment grade securities, and mortgage loans valued at $25 and $23 as collateral from counterparties as of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively. This collateral has not been sold or repledged. A significant number of the Bank’s interest rate exchange agreements are transacted with financial institutions such as major banks and broker-dealers. Some of these banks and broker-dealers or their affiliates buy, sell, and distribute consolidated obligations. See Note 11 for more information on assets pledged by the Bank to these counterparties as collateral for derivatives transactions.
Intermediation –As an additional service to its members, the Bank enters into offsetting interest rate exchange agreements, acting as an intermediary between exactly offsetting derivatives transactions with members and other counterparties. This intermediation allows members indirect access to the derivatives market. The offsetting derivatives used in intermediary activities do not receive SFAS 133 hedge accounting treatment and are separately marked to market through earnings. The net result of the accounting for these derivatives does not significantly affect the operating results of the Bank. These amounts are recorded in other income and presented as “Net loss on derivatives and hedging activities.”
Derivatives in which the Bank is an intermediary may arise when the Bank (i) enters into derivatives with members and offsetting derivatives with other counterparties to meet the needs of its members, and (ii) enters into derivatives to offset the economic effect of other derivatives that are no longer designated to either advances, investments, or consolidated obligations. The notional principal of interest rate exchange agreements arising from the Bank entering into derivatives with members and offsetting derivatives with other counterparties was $1,340 at September 30, 2006, and $1,430 at December 31, 2005. The Bank did not have any interest rate exchange agreements outstanding at September 30, 2006, that were used to offset the economic effect of other derivatives that were no longer designated to either advances, investments, or consolidated obligations. The notional principal of interest rate exchange agreements that were used to offset the economic effect of other derivatives that were no longer designated to either advances, investments, or consolidated obligations was $130 at December 31, 2005.
Note 10 – Estimated Fair Values
The following estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Bank using available market information and the Bank’s best judgment of appropriate valuation methods. These estimates are based on pertinent information available to the Bank as of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005. Although the Bank uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique or valuation methodology. For example, because an active secondary market does not exist for a portion of the Bank’s financial instruments, in certain cases fair values are not

subject to precise quantification or verification and may change as economic and market factors and evaluation of those factors change. Therefore, these estimated fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in current market transactions. The fair value summary tables do not represent an estimate of the overall market value of the Bank as a going concern, which would take into account future business opportunities. The assumptions used in estimating the fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments are more fully discussed in Note 17 to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K.
The following tables show the estimated fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments at September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005.

Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies
As provided by the FHLB Act or Finance Board regulation, all FHLBanks have joint and several liability for all FHLBank consolidated obligations. The joint and several liability regulation of the Finance Board authorizes the Finance Board to require any FHLBank to repay all or a portion of the principal or interest on consolidated obligations for which another FHLBank is the primary obligor. The Bank has never been asked or required to repay the principal or interest on any consolidated obligation on behalf of another FHLBank. The par amount of the outstanding consolidated obligations of all 12 FHLBanks was $958,023 at September 30, 2006, and $937,460 at December 31, 2005. The par value of the Bank’s participation in consolidated obligations was $218,665 at September 30, 2006, and $212,262 at December 31, 2005. For more information on the Finance Board’s joint and several liability regulation, see Note 18 to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K.
Commitments that legally obligate the Bank for additional advances totaled $8,355 at September 30, 2006, and $2,843 at December 31, 2005. Commitments are generally for periods up to 12 months. Standby letters of credit are issued for a fee on behalf of members to support their obligations to third parties. If the Bank is required to make payment for a beneficiary’s drawing, the amount is charged to the member’s demand deposit account with the Bank or converted into a collateralized advance to the member. Outstanding standby letters of credit were $1,037 at September 30, 2006, and $810 at December 31, 2005, and had original terms of 30 days to 10 years with the latest final expiration in 2016. The value of the guarantees related to standby letters of credit is recorded in other liabilities and amounted to $2 at September 30, 2006, and $2 at December 31, 2005. Based on management’s credit analyses of members’ financial condition and collateral requirements, no allowance for losses is deemed necessary by management on these advance commitments and letters of credit. Advances funded under these advance commitments are fully collateralized at the time of funding (see Note 4). Letters of credit are fully collateralized at the time of issuance. The estimated fair value of commitments and letters of credit was immaterial to the balance sheet as of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005.

The Bank executes interest rate exchange agreements with major banks and derivatives entities affiliated with broker-dealers that have, or are supported by guaranties from related entities that have long-term credit ratings of single-A or better from both Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (Standard & Poor’s) and Moody’s Investors Service. The Bank also executes interest rate exchange agreements with its members, in which the Bank serves as an intermediary. The Bank enters into master agreements with netting provisions with all counterparties and bilateral security agreements with all derivatives dealer counterparties. All member counterparty master agreements are subject to the terms of the Bank’s Advances and Security Agreement with members, and all member counterparties must fully collateralize the Bank’s net credit exposure. As of September 30, 2006, the Bank had pledged as collateral securities with a carrying value of $982, of which $137 cannot be sold or repledged and $845 can be sold or repledged, to counterparties that have market risk exposure from the Bank related to derivatives. As of December 31, 2005, the Bank had pledged as collateral securities with a carrying value of $1,277, of which $100 cannot be sold or repledged and $1,177 can be sold or repledged, to counterparties that have market risk exposure from the Bank related to derivatives.
The Bank may be subject to various pending legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of any legal proceedings will have a material effect on the Bank’s financial condition or results of operations.
The Bank had committed to the issuance of consolidated obligations totaling $2,495 at September 30, 2006, and $1,401 at December 31, 2005.
The Bank entered into interest rate exchange agreements that had traded but not yet settled with notional amounts totaling $3,275 at September 30, 2006, and $616 at December 31, 2005.
Other commitments and contingencies are discussed in Notes 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9.
Note 12 – Transactions with Members
Transactions with Members. The Bank is a cooperative whose member institutions own the capital stock of the Bank. Certain former members are also required to maintain their investment in the Bank’s capital stock until their outstanding transactions mature or are paid off or until their capital stock is redeemed following the five-year redemption period for capital stock, in accordance with the Bank’s capital requirements. See Note 13 to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K for more information on the Bank’s capital requirements.
All advances are issued to members, and all mortgage loans held for portfolio are purchased from members. The Bank also maintains deposit accounts for members primarily to facilitate settlement activities that are directly related to advances and mortgage loan purchases. All transactions with members and their affiliates are entered into in the normal course of business. In instances where the member has an officer or director who is a director of the Bank, transactions with the member are subject to the same eligibility and credit criteria, as well as the same conditions, as transactions with all other members, in accordance with Finance Board regulations.
The Bank has investments in Federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits, commercial paper, and MBS with members or their affiliates and executes derivatives transactions with members or their affiliates. All investments are transacted at market prices, and MBS are purchased through securities brokers or dealers. As an additional service to its members, the Bank enters into offsetting interest rate exchange agreements, acting as an intermediary between exactly offsetting derivative transactions with members and other counterparties. These transactions are also executed at market rates.

At September 30, 2006, Citibank, N.A., was an affiliate of the Bank’s largest shareholder, Citibank (West), FSB. In October 2006, Citibank (West), FSB, was reorganized into Citibank, N.A., and Citibank, N.A., became a member of the Bank, assumed the outstanding capital stock of Citibank (West), FSB, and became the Bank’s largest shareholder. Citibank, N.A., is the Bank’s primary securities custodian and a derivatives dealer counterparty. In addition, the Bank has financial relationships with two affiliates of Citibank, N.A. They are (i) Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., which is a bond underwriter and dealer for the issuance of the FHLBank System’s consolidated obligations, and (ii) Citigroup Institutional Trust Company, which is the Bank’s securities custodian for securities pledged to the Bank by Citibank, N.A., and its approved subsidiaries. Citibank, N.A., and its affiliates served in these roles prior to and after Citibank, N.A., became a member of the Bank. These financial relationships with Citibank, N.A., and its affiliates are conducted in the ordinary course of business, and management believes these financial relationships are conducted on terms and conditions similar to those that would be available for comparable services if provided by unaffiliated entities.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including statements describing the objectives, projections, estimates, or predictions of the future of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (Bank), may be “forward-looking statements.” These statements may use forward-looking terms, such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “may,” “should,” “will,” or their negatives or other variations on these terms. The Bank cautions that by their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk or uncertainty and that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements or could affect the extent to which a particular objective, projection, estimate, or prediction is realized. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the following: economic and market conditions; volatility of market prices, rates, and indices; political, legislative, regulatory, or judicial events; changes in the Bank’s capital structure; membership changes; changes in the demand by Bank members for Bank advances; competitive forces, including the availability of other sources of funding for Bank members; changes in investor demand for consolidated obligations and/or the terms of interest rate exchange agreements and similar agreements; the ability of the Bank to introduce new products and services to meet market demand and to manage successfully the risks associated with new products and services; the ability of each of the other Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks) to repay the principal and interest on consolidated obligations for which it is the primary obligor and with respect to which the Bank has joint and several liability; and timing and volume of market activity. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Bank’s interim financial statements and notes, which begin on page 1, and the Bank’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (2005 Form 10-K).
Quarterly Overview
The Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco maintains a balance between its obligation to achieve its public policy mission to promote housing, homeownership, and community development through its activities with members, and its objective to provide adequate returns on the private capital provided by its members. The Bank achieves this balance by delivering low-cost credit to help its members meet the credit needs of their communities while paying members a market-rate dividend.
The Bank’s financial strategies are designed to enable it to safely expand and contract its assets, liabilities, and capital in response to changes in membership composition and member credit needs. The Bank’s capital grows when members are required to purchase additional capital stock as they increase their advance borrowings or sell mortgage loans to the Bank under the Mortgage Partnership Finance® (MPF®) Program. (“Mortgage Partnership Finance” and “MPF” are registered trademarks of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago.) The Bank may repurchase capital stock from members if their advances or mortgage loan balances decline. As a result of these strategies, the Bank has been able to achieve its housing mission by meeting member credit needs and to pay market-rate dividends despite significant fluctuations in total assets, liabilities, and capital in recent years.
The Bank measures the dividend rate on its capital stock relative to a unique dividend benchmark that is calculated as the combined average of (i) the daily average of the overnight Federal funds effective rate and (ii) the four-year moving average of the U.S. Treasury note yield calculated as the average of the three-year and five-year U.S. Treasury note yields. The benchmark is consistent with the Bank’s interest rate risk and capital management goals.
The Bank’s annualized dividend rate for the third quarter of 2006 was 5.54%, compared to 4.58% for the third quarter of 2005. The Bank’s annualized dividend rate for the first nine months of 2006 was 5.27%, compared to 4.35% for the first nine months of 2005. The increases in the annualized dividend rate reflect a higher yield on invested capital, partially offset by higher Resolution Funding Corporation (REFCORP) and Affordable Housing Program (AHP) assessments and a lower net interest spread on the Bank’s mortgage loan and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) portfolio during the third quarter of 2006 and the first nine months of 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005.
25
Net income was $140 million in the third quarter of 2006 compared to $91 million in the third quarter of 2005 and was $387 million in the first nine months of 2006 compared to $259 million in the first nine months of 2005. The increases reflect higher net interest income, which increased $39 million, or 22%, to $217 million in the third quarter of 2006 from $178 million in the third quarter of 2005 and increased $115 million, or 23%, to $611 million in the first nine months of 2006 from $496 million in the first nine months of 2005. The increases in net interest income were driven primarily by the effect of higher interest rates on higher average capital balances, combined with higher average interest-earning assets outstanding.
Excluding the impact from net interest expense on derivative instruments used in economic hedges, the net effect of fair value adjustments on trading securities, derivatives, and hedged items, after assessments, resulted in a net fair value gain of $3 million in the third quarter of 2006 compared to a net fair value loss of $19 million in the third quarter of 2005. Most of the net fair value gain in the third quarter of 2006 and the net fair value loss in the third quarter of 2005 reflected unrealized fair value adjustments.
Excluding the impact from net interest expense on derivative instruments used in economic hedges, the net effect of fair value adjustments on trading securities, derivatives, and hedged items, after assessments, resulted in a net fair value gain of $2 million in the first nine months of 2006 compared to a net fair value loss of $39 million in the first nine months of 2005. Most of the $2 million net fair value gain in the first nine months of 2006 reflected net fair value gains on the termination of hedges related to consolidated obligations. Most of the $39 million net fair value loss in the first nine months of 2005 reflected unrealized fair value adjustments.
Nearly all of the Bank’s derivatives and hedged instruments are held to maturity, call date, or put date. For these derivatives and hedged items, net unrealized fair value gains or losses are primarily a matter of timing because they will generally reverse over the remaining contractual terms to maturity, or by the exercised call or put date. However, the Bank may have instances in which hedging relationships are terminated prior to maturity or prior to the exercised call or put dates. The impact of terminating a hedging relationship may result in a realized gain or loss. In addition, the Bank may have instances in which it may sell trading securities prior to maturity, which may also result in a realized gain or loss.
Total assets grew $8.1 billion, or 4%, to $231.7 billion at September 30, 2006, from $223.6 billion at December 31, 2005, primarily because advances increased to $174.5 billion from $162.9 billion and interest-bearing deposits in banks increased to $12.6 billion from $6.9 billion. In contrast, Federal funds sold decreased to $8.6 billion from $17.0 billion.
On October 6, 2006, the Bank announced that it will no longer offer new commitments to purchase mortgage loans from its members, but that it intends to purchase mortgage loans under existing purchase commitments and to retain its existing portfolio of mortgage loans. Most of the growth in the MPF Program occurred in 2003, and since that time the Bank’s purchased mortgage loan balances have declined. In particular, mortgage loan purchase activity was low during 2005 and the first nine months of 2006 because (i) originations of conforming fixed rate mortgage loans were lower in these periods than in prior years, (ii) member business strategies led most participating members to sell their conforming fixed rate mortgage loans to other purchasers, and (iii) the Bank limited its purchases of fixed rate mortgage loans because the profit spreads available were below the Bank’s targets.

1 | As provided by the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (FHLB Act), or Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board) regulation, all of the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks) have joint and several liability for FHLBank consolidated obligations, which are backed only by the financial resources of the FHLBanks. The joint and several liability regulation of the Finance Board authorizes the Finance Board to require any FHLBank to repay all or a portion of the principal or interest on consolidated obligations for which another FHLBank is the primary obligor. The Bank has never been asked or required to repay the principal or interest on any consolidated obligation on behalf of another FHLBank. The par amount of the outstanding consolidated obligations of all 12 FHLBanks was as follows: |
| | | |
Quarter ended | | Par amount |
September 30, 2006 | | $ | 958,023 |
June 30, 2006 | | | 958,570 |
March 31, 2006 | | | 935,828 |
December 31, 2005 | | | 937,460 |
September 30, 2005 | | | 920,369 |
2 | The dividend benchmark is calculated as the combined average of (i) the daily average of the overnight Federal funds effective rate and (ii) the four-year moving average of the U.S. Treasury note yield calculated as the average of the three-year and five-year U.S. Treasury note yields. |
3 | This ratio is calculated as dividends declared per share divided by net income per share. |
4 | This ratio is based on regulatory capital, which includes mandatorily redeemable capital stock that is classified as a liability. |

Results of Operations
The primary source of Bank earnings is net interest income, which is the interest earned on advances, mortgage loans, and investments, less interest paid on consolidated obligations, deposits, and other borrowings. The following Average Balance Sheets tables present average balances of earning asset categories and the sources that fund those earning assets (liabilities and capital) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, together with the related interest income and expense. They also present the average rate on total earning assets and the average cost of total funding sources. The Change in Net Interest Income tables detail the changes in interest income and interest expense for the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005 and for the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005. Changes in both volume and interest rates influence changes in net interest income and the net interest margin.

The net interest margin increased 4 basis points during the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005. The net interest margin increased 2 basis points during the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005. The increases reflect a higher yield on invested capital, partially offset by lower profit spreads on the combined mortgage loan and MBS portfolios.
The net interest spread was 7 basis points lower during the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005. The net interest spread was 7 basis points lower during the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005. The decreases were primarily due to lower profit spreads on the combined mortgage loan and MBS portfolios, reflecting the impact on financing costs of higher interest rates and a flatter yield curve. The increased volume of lower-spread non-MBS investments and advances relative to the overall asset mix also contributed to the decreases in the net interest spread.
Net Interest Income
Third Quarter of 2006 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2005. Net interest income in the third quarter of 2006 was $217 million, a 22% increase from $178 million in the third quarter of 2005. The increase was largely the result of higher average interest-earning assets outstanding, particularly advances, MBS investments, and interest-bearing deposits in banks, combined with higher average capital balances and higher earnings on capital.
Interest income on non-MBS investments (interest-bearing deposits in banks, securities purchased under agreements to resell (resale agreements), Federal funds sold, and other non-MBS investments classified as
32
held-to-maturity and trading securities) contributed $108 million to the increase in interest income in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005. Of this increase, $96 million was the result of higher average yields on non-MBS investments and $12 million was the result of a 0.4% increase in average non-MBS investment balances.
Interest income from the mortgage portfolio (MBS and mortgage loans) increased $65 million in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005. Of this increase, $26 million was the result of a 9% increase in average MBS outstanding and $50 million was the result of higher average yields on MBS investments, partially offset by an $8 million decrease as a result of lower average mortgage loans outstanding and $3 million as a result of lower average yields on mortgage loans. The increase was net of the impact of retrospective adjustments for amortization of purchase premiums and discounts from the acquisition dates of the mortgage loans and MBS in accordance with SFAS No. 91,Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases(SFAS 91), which increased interest income by $2 million in the third quarter of 2006 and by $6,000 in the third quarter of 2005.
Interest income from advances increased $981 million, which consisted of $203 million from a 13% increase in average advances outstanding, reflecting higher member demand during the third quarter of 2006 relative to the third quarter of 2005, and $778 million as a result of higher average yields because of increases in interest rates for new advances, adjustable rate advances repricing at higher rates, and paydowns and maturities of lower-yielding advances.
Paralleling the growth in interest-earning assets, average consolidated obligations (bonds and discount notes) funding the earning assets increased 10%, resulting in a $1,114 million increase in interest expense for the third quarter of 2006 relative to the third quarter of 2005. Higher average consolidated obligation balances, which were issued primarily to finance growth in intermediate-term advances, contributed $196 million to the increase in interest expense during the third quarter of 2006. Higher interest rates on consolidated obligations outstanding in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005 contributed $918 million to the increase in interest expense.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006, Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005. Net interest income in the first nine months of 2006 was $611 million, a 23% increase from $496 million in the first nine months of 2005. The increase was largely the result of higher average interest-earning assets outstanding, particularly advances, interest-bearing deposits in banks, and MBS investments, combined with higher average capital balances and higher earnings on capital.
Interest income on non-MBS investments contributed $482 million to the increase in interest income in the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005. Of this increase, $299 million was the result of higher average yields on non-MBS investments and $183 million was the result of a 28% rise in average non-MBS investment balances, primarily in interest-bearing deposits in banks.
Interest income from the mortgage portfolio (MBS and mortgage loans) increased $217 million in the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005. Of this increase, $107 million was the result of a 14% increase in average MBS outstanding and $140 million was the result of higher average yields on MBS investments, partially offset by a $27 million decrease as a result of lower average mortgage loans outstanding and $3 million as a result of lower average yields on mortgage loans. The increase was net of the impact of retrospective adjustments for amortization of purchase premiums and discounts from the acquisition dates of the mortgage loans and MBS in accordance with SFAS 91, which increased interest income by $37,000 in the first nine months of 2006 and decreased interest income by $6 million in the first nine months of 2005.
Interest income from advances increased $2,871 million, which consisted of $551 million from a 14% increase in average advances outstanding, reflecting higher member demand during the first nine months of 2006 relative to the first nine months of 2005, and $2,320 million as a result of higher average yields because of increases in interest rates for new advances, adjustable rate advances repricing at higher rates, and paydowns and maturities of lower-yielding advances.
33
Paralleling the growth in interest-earning assets, average consolidated obligations (bonds and discount notes) funding the earning assets increased 14%, resulting in a $3,451 million increase in interest expense for the first nine months of 2006 relative to the first nine months of 2005. Higher average consolidated obligation balances, which were issued primarily to finance growth in intermediate-term advances, contributed $723 million to the increase in interest expense during the first nine months of 2006. Higher interest rates on consolidated obligations outstanding in the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005 contributed $2,728 million to the increase in interest expense.
The Bank experienced significant growth in average interest-earning asset portfolios and net interest income during the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005 and during the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005. This growth was driven primarily by member demand for advances and growth in average MBS and liquidity investment balances. Member demand for wholesale funding from the Bank can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including economic and market conditions, competition from other wholesale funding sources, member deposit inflows and outflows, the activity level of the primary and secondary mortgage markets, and strategic decisions made by individual member institutions. As a result, Bank asset levels and operating results may vary significantly from period to period.
Other (Loss)/Income
Third Quarter of 2006 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2005. Other (loss)/income was a net loss of $3 million in the third quarter of 2006 compared to a net loss of $35 million in the third quarter of 2005. The loss was primarily the result of fair value adjustments associated with derivatives and hedging activities under the provisions of SFAS 133 and net interest expense on derivative instruments used in economic hedges.
Under SFAS 133, the Bank is required to carry all of its derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. If derivatives meet the hedging criteria, including effectiveness measures, specified in SFAS 133, the underlying hedged instruments may also be carried at fair value so that some or all of the unrealized gain or loss recognized on the derivative is offset by a corresponding unrealized loss or gain on the underlying hedged instrument. The unrealized gain or loss on the “ineffective” portion of all hedges, which represents the amount by which the change in the fair value of the derivative differs from the change in the fair value of the hedged item or the variability in the cash flows of the forecasted transaction, is recognized in current period earnings. In addition, certain derivatives are associated with assets or liabilities but do not qualify as fair value or cash flow hedges under SFAS 133. These economic hedges are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in earnings without any offsetting unrealized loss or gain from the associated asset or liability.
In general, the Bank’s derivatives and hedged instruments are held to maturity, call date, or put date. Therefore, nearly all of the SFAS 133 cumulative net gains and losses that are unrealized fair value gains or losses are primarily a matter of timing and will generally reverse over the remaining contractual terms to maturity, or by the exercised call or put date, of the hedged financial instruments and associated interest rate exchange agreements. However, the Bank may have instances in which hedging relationships are terminated prior to maturity or prior to the exercised call or put dates. The impact of terminating the hedging relationship may result in a realized gain or loss. In addition, the Bank may have instances in which it may sell trading securities prior to maturity, which may also result in a realized gain or loss.
The following table shows the accounting classification of hedges and the categories of hedged items that contributed to the gains and losses on derivatives and hedged items that were recorded in earnings in the third quarter of 2006 and 2005.

During the third quarter of 2006, net losses on derivatives and hedging activities totaled $5 million compared to net losses of $28 million in the third quarter of 2005. These amounts included net interest expense on derivative instruments used in economic hedges of $8 million in the third quarter of 2006 and $10 million in the third quarter of 2005. The majority of this net interest expense is attributable to interest rate swaps associated with consolidated obligations.
Excluding the $8 million impact from net interest expense on derivative instruments used in economic hedges, fair value adjustments for the third quarter of 2006 were net gains of $3 million. The $3 million net gains consisted of primarily unrealized net gains of $12 million attributable to the hedges related to consolidated obligations, partially offset by unrealized net losses of $9 million attributable to the hedges related to advances.
Excluding the $10 million impact from net interest expense on derivative instruments used in economic hedges, fair value adjustments were primarily unrealized net losses of $18 million in the third quarter of 2005. The $18 million net losses consisted of net losses of $22 million attributable to the hedges related to consolidated obligations and net losses of $4 million attributable to the economic hedges related to advances, partially offset by net gains of $8 million on the economic hedges related to MBS classified as trading.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006, Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005. Other (loss)/income was a net loss of $19 million in the first nine months of 2006 compared to a net loss of $85 million in the first nine months of 2005. The decreased loss was primarily the result of fair value adjustments associated with derivatives and hedging activities under the provisions of SFAS 133.
The table below shows the accounting classification of hedges and the categories of hedged items that contributed to the gains and losses on derivatives and hedged items that were recorded in earnings in the first nine months of 2006 and 2005.

During the first nine months of 2006, net losses on derivatives and hedging activities totaled $22 million compared to net losses of $75 million in the first nine months of 2005. These amounts included net interest
35
expense on derivative instruments used in economic hedges of $25 million in the first nine months of 2006 and $35 million in the first nine months of 2005. The majority of this net interest expense is attributable to interest rate swaps associated with consolidated obligations.
Excluding the $25 million impact from net interest expense on derivative instruments used in economic hedges, fair value adjustments were primarily unrealized net gains of $3 million for the first nine months of 2006. The $3 million unrealized net gains consisted of unrealized net gains of $4 million attributable to the hedges related to consolidated obligations, net fair value gains of $2 million on the termination of hedges related to consolidated obligations, and unrealized net gains of $1 million attributable to the economic hedges related to MBS classified as trading, partially offset by unrealized net losses of $4 million attributable to the hedges related to advances.
Excluding the $35 million impact from net interest expense on derivative instruments used in economic hedges, fair value adjustments were primarily unrealized net losses of $40 million in the first nine months of 2005. The $40 million net losses consisted of net losses of $56 million attributable to the hedges related to consolidated obligations, partially offset by net gains of $13 million attributable to the economic hedges related to MBS classified as trading and net gains of $3 million attributable to the hedges related to advances.
Return on Equity
Return on equity (ROE) was 5.59% (annualized) for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 156 basis points from the third quarter of 2005. This increase reflected the 54% rise in net income, to $140 million in the third quarter of 2006 from $91 million in the third quarter of 2005. In addition, the growth in net income more than kept pace with the growth in average capital. Average capital increased 11% to $10.0 billion in the third quarter of 2006 from $9.0 billion in the third quarter of 2005.
ROE was 5.23% (annualized) for the first nine months of 2006, an increase of 118 basis points from the first nine months of 2005. This increase reflected the 49% rise in net income, to $387 million in the first nine months of 2006 from $259 million in the first nine months of 2005. In addition, the growth in net income more than kept pace with the growth in average capital. Average capital increased 16% to $9.9 billion in the first nine months of 2006 from $8.5 billion in the first nine months of 2005.
Dividends
The Bank’s annualized dividend rate increased to 5.54% for the third quarter of 2006 from 4.58% for the third quarter of 2005. The Bank’s annualized dividend rate increased to 5.27% for the first nine months of 2006 from 4.35% for the first nine months of 2005. These increases were primarily due to a higher yield on invested capital, partially offset by higher REFCORP and AHP assessments and a lower net interest spread on the Bank’s mortgage loan and MBS portfolio during the third quarter of 2006 and the first nine months of 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005.
The spread between the dividend rate and the dividend benchmark decreased to 1.21% for the third quarter of 2006 from 1.26% for the third quarter of 2005, and to 1.17% for the first nine months of 2006 from 1.26% for the first nine months of 2005. These decreases were due, in part, to the decline in the net interest spread, including narrower profit spreads on the mortgage portfolio. In addition, higher market interest rates in the third quarter of 2006 and the first nine months of 2006 compared to the year-earlier periods caused an increase in both the dividend benchmark and the yield on invested capital. However, the increase in REFCORP and AHP assessments caused the yield on invested capital after assessments to increase by a smaller amount than the benchmark yield, resulting in a lower spread between the dividend rate and the dividend benchmark.
By Finance Board regulation, dividends may be paid out of current net earnings or previously retained earnings. As required by the Finance Board, the Bank has a formal retained earnings policy that is reviewed at least annually. The Bank’s Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy establishes amounts to be retained in restricted retained earnings, which are not made available for dividends in the current dividend period. The Bank may be restricted from paying dividends if the Bank is not in compliance with any of its minimum capital requirements or if payment would cause the Bank to fail to meet any of its minimum capital requirements. In addition, the Bank may not pay dividends if any principal or interest due on any
36
consolidated obligations has not been paid in full, or, under certain circumstances, if the Bank fails to satisfy certain liquidity requirements under applicable Finance Board regulations. The Finance Board’s regulatory liquidity requirements state: (i) each FHLBank must maintain eligible high quality assets (advances with a maturity not exceeding five years, Treasury security investments, and deposits in banks or trust companies) in an amount equal to or greater than the deposits received from members and (ii) each FHLBank must hold contingency liquidity in an amount sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for at least five business days without access to the consolidated obligation debt markets. At September 30, 2006, advances maturing within five years totaled $170.3 billion, significantly in excess of the $0.5 billion of member deposits on that date. At December 31, 2005, advances maturing within five years totaled $159.9 billion, also significantly in excess of the $0.4 billion of member deposits on that date. In addition, as of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, the Bank’s estimated total sources of funds obtainable from liquidity investments, repurchase agreement borrowings collateralized by the Bank’s marketable securities, and advance repayments would have allowed the Bank to meet its liquidity needs for more than 90 days without access to the consolidated obligation debt markets.
In accordance with the Bank’s Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy, the Bank retains in restricted retained earnings any cumulative net unrealized gains in earnings (net of applicable assessments) resulting from the application of SFAS 133. Retained earnings restricted in accordance with this provision totaled $28 million at September 30, 2006, and $44 million at December 31, 2005.
In addition, the Bank holds other restricted retained earnings intended to protect members’ paid-in capital from an extremely adverse credit or operations risk event, an extremely adverse SFAS 133 quarterly result, or an extremely low (or negative) level of net income before the effects of SFAS 133 resulting from an adverse interest rate environment. To provide for the build-up of retained earnings, the Bank retained from current earnings $8 million in the third quarter of 2006 and $8 million in the third quarter of 2005, which reduced the annualized dividend rate by 32 basis points in the third quarter of 2006 and by 36 basis points in the third quarter of 2005. The Bank retained from current earnings $23 million in the first nine months of 2006 and $23 million in the first nine months of 2005, which reduced the annualized dividend rate by 31 basis points in the first nine months of 2006 and by 37 basis points in the first nine months of 2005. The retained earnings restricted in accordance with this provision totaled $110 million at September 30, 2006, and $87 million at December 31, 2005, and is targeted to reach $130 million by the end of the third quarter of 2007.
For more information on these two categories of restricted retained earnings and the Bank’s Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results of Operations – Comparison of 2005 to 2004 – Dividends” in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Developments – Delay in Implementation of Amendment to the Bank’s Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy.”
Financial Condition
Total assets were $231.7 billion at September 30, 2006, a 4% increase from $223.6 billion at December 31, 2005. Average total assets were $230.9 billion for the third quarter of 2006, a 10% increase compared to $209.0 billion for the third quarter of 2005. Average total assets were $228.7 billion for the first nine months of 2006, a 15% increase compared to $199.7 billion for the first nine months of 2005. These increases were largely driven by growth in advances and interest-bearing deposits in banks.
Total liabilities were $221.3 billion at September 30, 2006, a 3% increase from $214.0 billion at December 31, 2005. Average total liabilities were $221.0 billion for the third quarter of 2006, a 10% increase compared to $200.0 billion for the third quarter of 2005. Average total liabilities were $218.8 billion for the first nine months of 2006, a 14% increase compared to $191.2 billion for the first nine months of 2005. The increase in liabilities reflects increases in consolidated obligations, paralleling the growth in assets. Consolidated obligations were $217.4 billion at September 30, 2006, and $210.2 billion at December 31, 2005. Average consolidated obligations were $217.3 billion in the third quarter of 2006 and $196.8 billion in the third quarter of 2005. Average consolidated obligations were $215.7 billion in the first nine months of 2006 and $188.4 billion in the first nine months of 2005.
37
As provided by the FHLB Act or Finance Board regulation, all FHLBanks have joint and several liability for all FHLBank consolidated obligations. The joint and several liability regulation of the Finance Board authorizes the Finance Board to require any FHLBank to repay all or a portion of the principal or interest on consolidated obligations for which another FHLBank is the primary obligor. The Bank has never been asked or required to repay the principal or interest on any consolidated obligation on behalf of another FHLBank. The par amount of the outstanding consolidated obligations of all 12 FHLBanks was $958.0 billion at September 30, 2006, and $937.5 billion at December 31, 2005.
Some FHLBanks have been the subject of regulatory actions pursuant to which their boards of directors and/or managements have agreed with the Office of Supervision of the Finance Board to, among other requirements, maintain higher levels of capital. The Bank cannot provide assurance that it has been informed or will be informed of additional regulatory actions taken at these or other FHLBanks.
As of September 30, 2006, Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (Standard & Poor’s) rated the FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations AAA/A-1+, and Moody’s Investors Service rated them Aaa/P-1. As of September 30, 2006, Standard & Poor’s assigned ten FHLBanks, including the Bank, a long-term credit rating of AAA, and two FHLBanks a long-term credit rating of AA+. On September 21, 2006, Standard & Poor’s upgraded the FHLBank of New York’s long-term credit rating from AA+ to AAA and removed the FHLBank of Des Moines from CreditWatch. As of September 30, 2006, Moody’s Investors Service continued to assign all the FHLBanks a long-term credit rating of Aaa. Changes in the long-term credit ratings of individual FHLBanks do not necessarily affect the credit rating of the consolidated obligations issued on behalf of the FHLBanks. Rating agencies may from time to time change a rating because of various factors, including operating results or actions taken, business developments, or changes in their opinion regarding, among other factors, the general outlook for a particular industry or the economy.
The Bank evaluated the publicly disclosed FHLBank regulatory actions and long-term credit ratings of other FHLBanks as of September 30, 2006, and as of each period end presented, and determined that they have not materially increased the likelihood that the Bank will be required by the Finance Board to repay any principal or interest associated with consolidated obligations for which the Bank is not the primary obligor.
Financial condition is further discussed under “Segment Information.”
Segment Information
The Bank analyzes financial performance based on the adjusted net interest income of two operating segments: the advances-related business and the mortgage-related business. For purposes of segment reporting, adjusted net interest income includes the net interest expense on derivative instruments used in economic hedges that are recorded in “Net loss on derivatives and hedging activities” in other income. For a reconciliation of the Bank’s adjusted net interest income by operating segment to the Bank’s total net interest income, see Note 8 to the Financial Statements.
Advances-Related Business. The advances-related business consists of advances and other credit products provided to members, related financing and hedging instruments, liquidity and other non-MBS investments associated with the Bank’s role as a liquidity provider, and member capital.
Assets associated with this segment increased to $199.8 billion (86% of total assets) at September 30, 2006, from $191.2 billion (85% of total assets) at December 31, 2005, an increase of $8.6 billion, or 4%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in interest-bearing deposits in banks and higher demand for advances by the Bank’s members, partially offset by a decrease in Federal funds sold.
Adjusted net interest income for this segment was $173 million in the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $46 million, or 36%, compared to $127 million in the third quarter of 2005. In the first nine months of 2006, adjusted net interest income for this segment was $473 million, an increase of $134 million, or 40%, compared to $339 million in the first nine months of 2005. The increases were primarily due to an increase in average advance and capital balances and a higher yield on invested capital.
38
Adjusted net interest income for this segment represented 83% and 76% of total adjusted net interest income for the third quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 81% and 74% of total adjusted net interest income for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Advances –Advances outstanding increased $11.6 billion, or 7%, to $174.5 billion at September 30, 2006, from $162.9 billion at December 31, 2005. Advances outstanding included unrealized fair value losses of $179 million at September 30, 2006, and unrealized fair value losses of $339 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease in the unrealized fair value losses of hedged advances from December 31, 2005, to September 30, 2006, was primarily attributable to the reversal of prior period unrealized losses from maturing advances and net unrealized gains resulting from the impact of declining interest rates on hedged advances during the third quarter of 2006, partially offset by net unrealized losses resulting from the impact of higher short- and intermediate-term interest rates on the fair value of hedged advances during the first six months of 2006.
The components of the advances portfolio at September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, are presented in the following table.

During the first nine months of 2006, fixed rate advances increased by $3.6 billion, adjustable rate advances increased by $6.6 billion, and variable rate overnight advances increased by $1.3 billion.
Advances outstanding to the Bank’s three largest members totaled $119.4 billion at September 30, 2006, a net increase of $4.2 billion from $115.2 billion at December 31, 2005. Of this increase, $27.0 billion was attributable to one large member, which continued to use advances to fund asset growth, while advances to two other large members decreased by $22.8 billion. A net increase in advances outstanding to other members of varying asset sizes and charter types also contributed to the overall growth in advances. In total, 165 institutions increased their advance borrowings during the first nine months of 2006, while 86 institutions decreased their advance borrowings.
39
Average advances were $173.6 billion in the third quarter of 2006, a 13% increase from $153.0 billion in the third quarter of 2005. Average advances were $169.6 billion in the first nine months of 2006, a 14% increase from $148.3 billion in the first nine months of 2005. The increase in average advances reflected members’ use of Bank advances to finance asset growth.
Non-MBS Investments – The Bank’s non-MBS investment portfolio consists of high-quality financial instruments that are used to meet its ongoing payment obligations and to facilitate the Bank’s role as a cost-effective provider of credit and liquidity to members. The Bank’s total non-MBS investment portfolio was $24.3 billion as of September 30, 2006, a decrease of $3.1 billion, or 11%, from $27.4 billion as of December 31, 2005. The overall decrease in non-MBS investments during the first nine months of 2006 generally reflected higher advances outstanding relative to member capital as of September 30, 2006. During the first nine months of 2006, Federal funds sold decreased $8.4 billion, while interest-bearing deposits in banks increased $5.7 billion, as the Bank shifted the form of its investments to negotiable certificates of deposit to facilitate intraday cash management. In addition, resale agreements decreased $0.6 billion and housing finance agency bonds decreased $0.2 billion, while commercial paper increased $0.3 billion and discount notes issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac increased $0.1 billion.
Non-MBS investments other than housing finance agency bonds generally have terms to maturity of three months or less. The rates on housing finance agency bonds generally adjust quarterly.
Borrowings –Consistent with the increase in advances, total liabilities (primarily consolidated obligations) funding the advances-related business increased $7.8 billion, or 4%, from $181.6 billion at December 31, 2005, to $189.4 billion at September 30, 2006. For further information and discussion of the Bank’s joint and several liability for FHLBank consolidated obligations, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition.”
To meet the specific needs of certain investors, fixed and adjustable rate consolidated obligation bonds may contain embedded call options or other features that result in complex coupon payment terms. When these consolidated obligation bonds are issued, typically the Bank simultaneously enters into interest rate exchange agreements with features that offset the complex features of the bonds and, in effect, convert the bonds to adjustable rate instruments tied to an index, primarily LIBOR. For example, the Bank uses fixed rate callable bonds that are typically offset with interest rate exchange agreements with call features that offset the call options embedded in the callable bonds. This combined financing structure enables the Bank to meet its funding needs at costs not generally attainable solely through the issuance of non-callable debt.
At September 30, 2006, the notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements associated with the advances-related business totaled $259.7 billion, of which $45.5 billion were hedging advances and $214.2 billion were hedging consolidated obligations that were funding advances. At December 31, 2005, the notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements associated with the advances-related business totaled $231.0 billion, of which $56.2 billion were hedging advances and $174.8 billion were hedging consolidated obligations that were funding advances. The hedges associated with advances and consolidated obligations were primarily used to convert the fixed rate cash flows and non-LIBOR-indexed cash flows of the advances and consolidated obligations to adjustable rate LIBOR-indexed cash flows or to manage the interest rate sensitivity and net repricing gaps of assets, liabilities, and interest rate exchange agreements.
FHLBank System consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes, along with similar debt securities issued by other government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are generally referred to as agency debt. The agency debt market is a large sector of the debt capital markets. The costs of fixed rate debt issued by the FHLBanks and the other GSEs rise and fall with increases and decreases in general market interest rates.

The costs of fixed rate FHLBank System consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes issued on behalf of the Bank in the first nine months of 2006 were higher than the costs of comparable bonds and discount notes issued in the first nine months of 2005, consistent with the general rise in short- and intermediate-term market interest rates.
The relative cost of FHLBank System consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes compared to market benchmark rates (such as LIBOR and LIBOR-indexed interest rate swap rates) improved modestly in the first nine months of 2006 compared to the first nine months of 2005 because of several factors. These factors included continued strong investor demand for intermediate-term GSE debt and lower FHLBank System debt issuance volume, both of which tend to increase the differences between agency debt costs and other market rates.
The average cost of FHLBank System discount notes relative to comparable term LIBOR rates in the first nine months of 2006 improved between 0.005% and 0.01% relative to the first nine months of 2005. For the same time horizon, the average cost of intermediate-term non-callable bonds and callable bonds relative to rates of LIBOR-indexed interest rate swaps improved between 0.01% and 0.02%.
At September 30, 2006, the Bank had $127.9 billion of swapped non-callable bonds and $38.6 billion of swapped callable bonds that primarily funded advances and non-MBS investments. These swapped non-callable and callable bonds combined represented 77% of the Bank’s total consolidated obligation bonds outstanding at September 30, 2006. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had $100.0 billion of swapped non-callable bonds and $47.4 billion of swapped callable bonds that primarily funded advances and non-MBS investments. These swapped non-callable and callable bonds combined represented 81% of the Bank’s total consolidated obligation bonds outstanding at December 31, 2005. The Bank increased its swapped non-callable bonds outstanding by $27.9 billion in the first nine months of 2006, as investors exhibited stronger demand for the FHLBank System’s non-callable fixed rate and adjustable rate bonds compared to callable bonds.
These swapped callable and non-callable bonds are used in part to fund the Bank’s advances portfolio. In general, the Bank does not match-fund advances with consolidated obligations. Instead, the Bank uses interest rate exchange agreements to, in effect, convert the advances to floating rate LIBOR-indexed assets (except overnight advances and adjustable rate advances that are already indexed to LIBOR) and to, in effect, convert the consolidated obligation bonds to floating rate LIBOR-indexed liabilities.
Mortgage-Related Business. The mortgage-related business consists of MBS investments, mortgage loans acquired through the MPF Program, and the related financing and hedging instruments. Adjusted net interest income for this segment is derived primarily from the difference, or spread, between the yield on the MBS and mortgage loans and the cost of the consolidated obligations funding those assets, including the cash flows from associated interest rate exchange agreements, less the provision for credit losses on mortgage loans.
At September 30, 2006, assets associated with this segment were $31.9 billion (14% of total assets), a decrease of $0.5 billion, or 2%, from $32.4 billion at December 31, 2005 (15% of total assets). The decrease was due to lower mortgage loan balances, which decreased $0.4 billion to $4.8 billion at September 30, 2006, from $5.2
41
billion at December 31, 2005, and lower investments in MBS, which decreased $0.1 billion to $27.0 billion at September 30, 2006, from $27.1 billion at December 31, 2005.
On October 6, 2006, the Bank announced that it will no longer offer new commitments to purchase mortgage loans from its members, but that it intends to continue to purchase mortgage loans under existing purchase commitments and to retain its existing portfolio of mortgage loans. Most of the growth in the MPF Program occurred in 2003, and since that time the Bank’s purchased mortgage loan balances have declined. Average mortgage loans decreased $0.6 billion to $4.9 billion in the third quarter of 2006 from $5.5 billion in the third quarter of 2005 and decreased $0.7 billion to $5.0 billion in the first nine months of 2006 from $5.7 billion in the first nine months of 2005. Mortgage loan purchase activity was low during 2005 and the first nine months of 2006 because (i) the originations of conforming fixed rate mortgage loans were lower in these periods, (ii) member business strategies led most participating members to sell their conforming fixed rate mortgage loans to other purchasers, and (iii) the Bank limited its purchases of fixed rate mortgage loans because the profit spreads available were below the Bank’s targets.
Average MBS investments increased $2.2 billion to $26.9 billion in the third quarter of 2006 compared to $24.7 billion in the third quarter of 2005 and increased $3.2 billion to $26.7 billion in the first nine months of 2006 compared to $23.5 billion in the first nine months of 2005. The increases in average MBS investments reflect the Bank’s strategy to maintain MBS investments close to the regulatory limit of three times capital; capital grew significantly on a year-over-year basis because of the growth in advances.
Adjusted net interest income for this segment was $36 million in the third quarter of 2006, a decrease of $5 million, or 12%, from $41 million in the third quarter of 2005. In the first nine months of 2006, adjusted net interest income for this segment was $113 million, a decrease of $9 million, or 7%, from $122 million in the first nine months of 2005. The decreases were primarily the result of narrower profit spreads on the mortgage portfolio, reflecting the impact on financing costs of higher interest rates and a flatter yield curve.
Adjusted net interest income for this segment represented 17% and 24% of total adjusted net interest income for the third quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 19% and 26% of total adjusted net interest income for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, respectively.
MPF Program –Under the MPF Program, the Bank may purchase FHA-insured, VA-guaranteed, and conventional fixed rate conforming residential mortgage loans directly from eligible members. Under the program, participating members originate or purchase the mortgage loans, credit-enhance them and sell them to the Bank, and retain the servicing of the loans. The Bank manages the interest rate and prepayment risk of the loans. The Bank and the member selling the loans share in the credit risk of the loans. For more information regarding credit risk, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management – Credit Risk – MPF Program” in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K.
At September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, the Bank held conventional fixed rate conforming mortgage loans purchased under one of two MPF products, MPF Plus or Original MPF, which are described in greater detail in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management – Credit Risk – MPF Program” in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K. Mortgage loan balances at September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
(In millions) | | September 30, 2006 | | | December 31, 2005 | |

The Bank periodically reviews its mortgage loan portfolio to identify probable credit losses in the portfolio and to determine the likelihood of collection of the portfolio. The Bank maintains an allowance for credit losses, net of credit enhancements, on mortgage loans acquired under the MPF Program at levels management believes to be adequate to absorb estimated probable losses inherent in the total mortgage
42
portfolio. The Bank established an allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans totaling $0.7 million at both September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005. For more information on how the Bank determines its estimated allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – Allowance for Credit Losses – Mortgage Loans Acquired Under the MPF Program” in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K.
At September 30, 2006, the Bank had 30 loans totaling $4 million classified as nonaccrual or impaired. Twenty of these loans totaling $2 million were in foreclosure or bankruptcy. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had 38 loans totaling $4 million classified as nonaccrual or impaired. Twenty of these loans totaling $3 million were in foreclosure or bankruptcy.
The Bank manages the interest rate and prepayment risks of the mortgage loans by funding these assets with callable and non-callable debt and by limiting the size of the fixed rate mortgage loan portfolio. Currently, the size of the portfolio is limited to a level of two times Bank capital.
MBS Investments –The Bank’s MBS portfolio was $27.0 billion, or 256% of Bank capital (as defined by the Finance Board), at September 30, 2006, compared to $27.1 billion, or 279% of Bank capital, at December 31, 2005. The Bank’s MBS portfolio decreased because of the limited availability of MBS that met the Bank’s risk-adjusted return thresholds and credit enhancement requirements. All MBS purchases during the first nine months of 2006 were AAA-rated non-agency MBS. In addition, the Bank generally required 100% to 200% of additional credit enhancement above the amount required by the rating agencies for AAA-rated investments for the MBS purchased during the first nine months of 2006.
Intermediate-term and long-term fixed rate MBS investments are subject to prepayment risk, and long-term adjustable rate MBS investments are subject to interest rate cap risk. The Bank has managed these risks primarily by predominantly purchasing intermediate-term fixed rate MBS (rather than long-term fixed rate MBS), funding the fixed rate MBS with a mix of non-callable and callable debt, and using interest rate exchange agreements that have the economic effect of callable debt.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 133, interest rate exchange agreements associated with held-to-maturity securities are non-hedge-qualifying. This designation required the Bank to mark certain MBS to fair value through earnings to partially offset the mark-to-fair value of the associated interest rate exchange agreements, for net unrealized gains of $178,000 and net unrealized losses of $476,000 during the third quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively, and for net unrealized losses of $8,000 and net unrealized losses of $202,000 during the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Borrowings –Total consolidated obligations funding the mortgage-related business decreased $0.5 billion, or 2%, from $32.4 billion at December 31, 2005, to $31.9 billion at September 30, 2006, paralleling the decrease in mortgage portfolio assets. For further information and discussion of the Bank’s joint and several liability for FHLBank consolidated obligations, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition.”
At September 30, 2006, the notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements associated with the mortgage-related business totaled $12.1 billion, of which $0.1 billion were associated with specific MBS classified as trading securities and $12.0 billion hedged or were associated with consolidated obligations funding the mortgage portfolio. At September 30, 2006, $8.3 billion in notional amounts of interest rate exchange agreements associated with consolidated obligations were economic hedges that did not qualify for either fair value or cash flow hedge accounting under SFAS 133.
At December 31, 2005, the notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements associated with the mortgage-related business totaled $13.5 billion, of which $0.1 billion were associated with specific MBS classified as trading securities and $13.4 billion hedged or were associated with consolidated obligations funding the mortgage portfolio. At December 31, 2005, $9.2 billion in notional amounts of interest rate exchange agreements associated with consolidated obligations were economic hedges that did not qualify for either fair value or cash flow hedge accounting under SFAS 133.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Bank’s financial strategies are designed to enable the Bank to expand and contract its assets, liabilities, and capital in response to changes in membership composition and member credit needs. The Bank’s liquidity and capital resources are designed to support these financial strategies. The Bank’s primary source of liquidity is its access to the capital markets through consolidated obligation issuance. The Bank’s equity capital resources are governed by the Bank’s capital plan.
Liquidity
The Bank strives to maintain the liquidity necessary to meet member credit demands, repay maturing consolidated obligations, meet other obligations and commitments, and respond to significant changes in membership composition. The Bank monitors its financial position in an effort to ensure that it has ready access to sufficient liquid funds to meet normal transaction requirements, take advantage of investment opportunities, and cover unforeseen liquidity demands.
During the last several years, the Bank has experienced a significant expansion of its balance sheet. The Bank’s advances increased from $81.2 billion at December 31, 2002, to $174.5 billion at September 30, 2006. This expansion was supported by an increase in capital stock purchased by members, in accordance with the Bank’s capital stock requirements, from $5.6 billion at December 31, 2002, to $10.4 billion at September 30, 2006, as the balances for both advances and mortgage loans (purchased from members and held by the Bank) increased. The increases in advances, mortgage loans, MBS, and other investments were also supported by an increase in consolidated obligations of $109.2 billion from $108.2 billion at December 31, 2002, to $217.4 billion at September 30, 2006.
The Bank’s ability to expand in response to member credit needs is based on the capital stock requirements for advances and mortgage loans. A member is required to increase its capital stock investment in the Bank as its balances of outstanding advances and mortgage loans sold to the Bank increase. The activity-based capital stock requirement is currently 4.7% for advances and 5.0% for mortgage loans sold to the Bank, while the Bank’s regulatory minimum capital to assets leverage requirement is currently 4.0%. The additional capital stock from higher balances of advances and mortgage loans expands the Bank’s capacity to participate in the issuance of consolidated obligations, which are used not only to support the increase in these balances but also to increase the Bank’s purchases of MBS and other investments.
The Bank can also contract its balance sheet and liquidity requirements in response to members’ reduced credit needs. As advances and mortgage loan balances are reduced, members will have capital stock in excess of the amount required by the capital plan. The Bank’s capital stock policies allow the Bank to repurchase a member’s excess capital stock if the member reduces its advances or its balance of mortgage loans sold to the Bank decreases. The Bank may allow its consolidated obligations to mature without replacement, or repurchase and retire outstanding consolidated obligations, allowing its balance sheet to shrink.
The Bank is not able to predict future trends in member credit needs since they are driven by complex interactions among a number of factors, including members’ mortgage loan originations, other loan portfolio growth, deposit growth, and the availability and pricing of other wholesale borrowing alternatives. The Bank regularly monitors current trends and anticipates future debt issuance needs to be prepared to fund its members’ credit needs and its investment opportunities.

Capital
Total capital as of September 30, 2006, was $10.4 billion, an 8% increase from $9.6 billion as of December 31, 2005. This increase was consistent with the rise in advances during the first nine months of 2006, and primarily reflected additional capital stock purchases by existing members to support additional borrowings during the period, and, to a lesser degree, capital stock purchases by new members. The increase was net of repurchases of capital stock, which primarily resulted from the Bank’s surplus capital stock repurchase policy, described below.
The Bank may repurchase some or all of a member’s excess capital stock and any excess mandatorily redeemable capital stock, at the Bank’s discretion. At its discretion, the Bank may also repurchase some or all of a member’s excess capital stock at the member’s request. Excess capital stock is defined as any stock holdings in excess of a member’s minimum capital stock requirement, as established by the Bank’s capital plan.
The Bank’s surplus capital stock repurchase policy provides for the Bank to repurchase excess stock that constitutes surplus stock, at the Bank’s discretion, if a member has surplus capital stock as of the last business day of the quarter. A member’s surplus capital stock is defined as any stock holdings in excess of 115% of the member’s minimum capital stock requirement, generally excluding stock dividends earned and credited for the current year.
On a quarterly basis, the Bank determines whether it will repurchase excess capital stock, including surplus capital stock. The Bank generally repurchases capital stock approximately one month after the end of each quarter. On the scheduled repurchase date, the Bank recalculates the amount of stock to be repurchased to ensure that each member will continue to meet its minimum stock requirement after the stock repurchase.
The Bank repurchased surplus capital stock totaling $423 million in the third quarter of 2006 and $218 million in the third quarter of 2005. The Bank also repurchased excess capital stock that was not surplus capital stock totaling $608 million in the third quarter of 2006 and $4 million in the third quarter of 2005.
The Bank repurchased surplus capital stock totaling $1,036 million in the first nine months of 2006 and $420 million in the first nine months of 2005. The Bank also repurchased excess capital stock that was not surplus capital stock totaling $1,195 million in the first nine months of 2006 and $58 million in the first nine months of 2005.
Excess capital stock totaled $1.2 billion as of September 30, 2006, which included surplus capital stock of $287 million. On October 31, 2006, the Bank repurchased $236 million of surplus capital stock. The Bank also repurchased $424 million of excess capital stock that was not surplus capital stock, including $418 million in excess capital stock that was the subject of repurchase requests submitted during the third quarter of 2006 by two members, and $6 million in mandatorily redeemable excess stock repurchased from former members of the Bank. Excess capital stock totaled $629 million after the October 31, 2006, capital stock repurchase.
Provisions of the Bank’s capital plan are more fully discussed in Note 13 to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K.
Capital Requirements
The FHLB Act and Finance Board regulations specify that each FHLBank must meet certain minimum regulatory capital standards. The Bank must maintain (i) total capital in an amount equal to at least 4.0% of its total assets, (ii) leverage capital in an amount equal to at least 5.0% of its total assets, and (iii) permanent capital in an amount at least equal to its regulatory risk-based capital requirement. Permanent capital is defined as total capital stock outstanding, including mandatorily redeemable capital stock, plus retained earnings. Finance Board staff has indicated that mandatorily redeemable capital stock is considered capital for regulatory purposes. The following table shows the Bank’s compliance with the Finance Board’s capital requirements at September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005.

The Bank’s capital requirements are more fully discussed in Note 13 to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K.
Risk Management
The Bank has an integrated corporate governance and internal control framework designed to support effective management of the Bank’s business activities and the risks inherent in these activities. As part of this framework, the Bank’s Board of Directors has adopted a Risk Management Policy and a Member Products Policy, which are reviewed regularly and reapproved at least annually. The Risk Management Policy establishes risk guidelines, limits (if applicable), and standards in accordance with Finance Board regulations, the risk profile established by the Board of Directors, and other applicable guidelines in connection with the Bank’s capital plan and overall risk management. For more detailed information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management” in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K.
Concentration Risk
Advances. The following tables present the concentration in advances to members whose advances outstanding represented 10% or more of the Bank’s total par amount of advances outstanding as of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005. They also present the interest income from these advances before the impact of interest rate exchange agreements associated with these advances for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

1 | Member advance amounts and total advance amounts are at par value, and total advance amounts will not agree to carrying value amounts shown in the Statements of Condition. The difference between the par and carrying value amounts primarily relates to fair value adjustments for hedged advances arising from SFAS 133. |
2 | Interest income amounts exclude the interest effect of interest rate exchange agreements with nonmember counterparties; as a result, the total interest income amounts will not agree to the Statements of Income. |
Because of this concentration in advances, the Bank has implemented enhanced credit and collateral review procedures for these members. The Bank also analyzes the implications for its financial management and profitability if it were to lose the advances business of one or more of these members. For more information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management – Concentration Risk – Advances” in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K.
On October 1, 2006, Citibank (West), FSB, was reorganized into its affiliate Citibank, N.A., and Citibank, N.A., assumed the outstanding advances of Citibank (West), FSB. On October 2, 2006, Citibank, N.A., became a member of the Bank. On October 1, 2006, Golden West Financial Corporation, the parent company of World Savings Bank, FSB, merged with Wachovia Corporation. World Savings Bank, FSB, remained a member of the Bank after the merger.

MPF Program. The Bank had the following concentration in MPF loans with members whose outstanding total of mortgage loans sold to the Bank represented 10% or more of the Bank’s total outstanding mortgage loans at September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005.
Of the 10 members participating in the MPF Program at September 30, 2006:
| • | | $3.6 billion, or 75% of the principal balance of outstanding mortgage loans held by the Bank, were purchased from Washington Mutual Bank. This amount represented 24,907, or 71%, of the total number of loans outstanding at September 30, 2006. |
| • | | $0.7 billion, or 15% of the principal balance of outstanding mortgage loans held by the Bank, were purchased from IndyMac Bank, FSB (IndyMac). This amount represented 6,826, or 20%, of the total number of loans outstanding at September 30, 2006. |
Of the nine members participating in the MPF Program at December 31, 2005:
| • | | $3.9 billion, or 75% of the principal balance of outstanding mortgage loans held by the Bank, were purchased from Washington Mutual Bank. This amount represented 26,418, or 71%, of the total number of loans outstanding at December 31, 2005. |
| • | | $0.8 billion, or 16% of the principal balance of outstanding mortgage loans held by the Bank, were purchased from IndyMac. This amount represented 7,407, or 20%, of the total number of loans outstanding at December 31, 2005. |
Members participating in the MPF Program, including Washington Mutual Bank and IndyMac, have made representations and warranties that the mortgage loans comply with the MPF underwriting guidelines. The Bank relies on the quality control review process established for the MPF Program for identification of loans that may not comply with the underwriting guidelines. In the event a mortgage loan does not comply with the MPF underwriting guidelines, the agreement with the member provides that the member is required to repurchase the loan as a result of a breach of the member’s representations and warranties. The Bank may, at its discretion, choose to retain the loan if the Bank determines that the noncompliance can be cured or mitigated through additional contract assurances from the member. During the third quarter of 2006 and the first nine months of 2006, members repurchased two loans totaling $0.4 million that did not comply with the MPF underwriting guidelines. During the third quarter of 2005, there were no loans repurchased by members because of noncompliance with the MPF underwriting guidelines. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, members repurchased six loans totaling $1.0 million that did not comply with the MPF underwriting guidelines. In addition, all participating members have retained the servicing on the mortgage loans purchased from them by the Bank, and the servicing of mortgage loans purchased from former members is held by Bank-approved financial institutions.
Capital Stock. The following table presents the concentration in capital stock held by members whose capital stock outstanding represented 10% or more of the Bank’s total capital stock outstanding as of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005.

Liquidity Risk
The Bank’s primary sources of liquidity are short-term investments and the issuance of new consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes. The Bank maintains short-term, high-quality money market investments in amounts that average up to three times the Bank’s capital as a primary source of funds to satisfy these requirements and objectives. Growth in advances to members may initially be funded by maturing on-balance sheet liquid investments, but within a short time the growth is usually funded by new issuances of consolidated obligations. The capital to support the growth in advances is provided by the borrowing members through their capital stock purchase requirements, which are based in part on outstanding advances. At September 30, 2006, the Bank’s total capital to assets ratio was 4.55%, 0.55% above the minimum regulatory requirement. At December 31, 2005, the Bank’s total capital to assets ratio was 4.34%, 0.34% above the minimum regulatory requirement.
The Bank maintains contingency liquidity plans designed to enable it to meet its obligations and the liquidity needs of members in the event of operational disruptions at the Bank or the Office of Finance or short-term disruptions of the capital markets. The Bank has a regulatory contingency liquidity requirement to maintain at least five days of liquidity to enable it to meet its obligations without issuance of new consolidated obligations. In addition, the Bank’s asset-liability management committee has a formal guideline to maintain at least three months of liquidity to enable the Bank to meet its obligations in the event of a longer-term capital markets disruption. The Bank maintained at least three months of contingency liquidity during the first nine months of 2006. On a daily basis, the Bank models its cash commitments and expected cash flows for the next 90 days to determine the Bank’s projected liquidity position.
The following table shows the Bank’s principal financial obligations due, estimated sources of funds available to meet those obligations, and the net difference of funds available or funds needed for the five-business-day and 90-day periods following September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005. Also shown are additional contingent sources of funds from on-balance sheet collateral available for repurchase agreement borrowings.

In addition, the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury is authorized, at his or her discretion, to purchase up to $4.0 billion of consolidated obligations.
Credit Risk
Advances. The Bank manages the credit risk associated with lending to members by closely monitoring the creditworthiness of the members and the quality and value of the assets that they pledge as collateral. The Bank also has procedures to assess the mortgage loan underwriting and documentation standards of the members that pledge mortgage loan collateral. In addition, the Bank has collateral policies and restricted lending procedures in place to help manage its exposure to members that experience difficulty in meeting their capital requirements or other standards of creditworthiness. These credit and collateral policies balance the Bank’s dual goals of meeting members’ needs as a reliable source of liquidity and limiting credit loss by adjusting the credit and collateral terms. The Bank has never experienced a credit loss on an advance.
All advances must be fully collateralized. To secure advances, members may pledge one- to four-family residential mortgage loans; multifamily mortgage loans; mortgage-backed securities; securities issued, insured, or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies, including without limitation MBS issued or guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae; cash or deposits in the Bank; and certain other real estate-related collateral, such as home equity or commercial real estate loans. The Bank may also accept secured small business, small farm, and small agribusiness loans as collateral from members that are community financial institutions. The Finance Board defined community financial institutions for 2006 as Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured depository institutions with average total assets over the preceding three-year period of $587 million or less.
In accordance with the FHLB Act, any security interest granted to the Bank by any member or member affiliate has priority over the claims and rights of any other party, including any receiver, conservator, trustee, or similar entity that has the rights of a lien creditor, unless these claims and rights would be entitled to
50
priority under otherwise applicable law and are held by actual purchasers or by parties that are secured by actual perfected security interests. The Bank perfects its security interest in loan collateral by completing a UCC-1 filing for each member. The Bank requires delivery of all securities collateral and may also require delivery of loan collateral under certain conditions (for example, from a newly formed institution or when a member’s creditworthiness deteriorates).
Management determines the borrowing capacity of a member based on the member’s credit quality and eligible collateral pledged in accordance with the Bank’s Member Products Policy and regulatory requirements. Credit quality is determined and periodically assessed using the member’s financial information, regulatory examination and enforcement actions, and other public information. The Bank values the pledged collateral and conducts periodic collateral field reviews to establish the amount it will lend against each collateral type for each member.
The Bank evaluates the type of collateral pledged by members and assigns a borrowing capacity to the collateral, generally based on a percentage of its fair value. The borrowing capacities include a margin that incorporates components for: secondary market discounts for credit attributes and defects, potential risks and estimated costs to liquidate, and the risk of a decline in the fair value of the collateral.
Other factors that the Bank considers in assigning borrowing capacities to a member’s collateral include the pledging method for loans (for example, specific identification, blanket lien, or required delivery), collateral field review results, the member’s financial strength and condition, and the concentration of collateral type by member. The Bank monitors each member’s borrowing capacity and collateral requirements on a daily basis and adheres to the Bank’s Collateral Guide when assigning borrowing capacities.
The following table presents a summary of the status of members’ credit outstanding and overall collateral borrowing capacity as of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005. Almost all credit outstanding and collateral borrowing capacity are with members that have the top three credit quality ratings. Credit quality ratings are determined based on results from the Bank’s credit model and on other qualitative information, including regulatory examination reports. The Bank assigns an internal rating from one to ten, with one being the highest credit quality rating.

MPF Program. On mortgage loans acquired under the MPF Program, the Bank provides for a loss allowance, net of credit enhancements, for any impaired loans and for the estimates of other probable losses, and the Bank has policies and procedures in place to monitor the credit risk. The Bank bases the allowance for credit losses for the Bank’s mortgage loan portfolio on management’s estimate of probable credit losses in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The Bank performs periodic reviews of its portfolio to identify the probable losses within the portfolio. The overall allowance is determined by an analysis that includes consideration of observable data such as delinquency statistics, past performance, current performance, loan portfolio characteristics, collateral valuations, industry data, collectibility of credit enhancements from participating members or from mortgage insurers, and prevailing economic conditions, taking into account the credit enhancement provided by the member under the terms of each Master Commitment.
Mortgage loan delinquencies as of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, were as follows:

Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total mortgage loans outstanding | | | 0.07 | % | | | 0.08 | % |
1 | The nonaccrual loans included 20 loans totaling $2 million that were in foreclosure or bankruptcy as of September 30, 2006, and 20 loans totaling $3 million that were in foreclosure or bankruptcy as of December 31, 2005. |
For the first nine months of 2006, interest income that was contractually due but not received and interest income forgone on the nonaccrual loans totaled $114,000.
Delinquencies amounted to 0.55% of the total loans in the Bank’s portfolio as of September 30, 2006, which was below the national delinquency rate for prime fixed rate mortgages of 1.93% in the second quarter of 2006 published in the Mortgage Bankers Association’s National Delinquency Survey. Delinquencies amounted to 0.59% of the total loans in the Bank’s portfolio as of December 31, 2005, which was below the national delinquency rate for prime fixed rate mortgages of 2.41% in the fourth quarter of 2005 published in the Mortgage Bankers Association’s National Delinquency Survey. However, the delinquency rate for the Bank’s portfolio may not be comparable to the national delinquency rates published in the Mortgage Bankers Association’s National Delinquency Survey because the Bank’s MPF mortgage loan portfolio may not be as seasoned as the portfolios used by the Mortgage Bankers Association. The weighted average age of the Bank’s MPF mortgage loan portfolio was 38 months as of September 30, 2006, and 29 months as of December 31, 2005.
Investments. The Bank has adopted credit policies and exposure limits for investments that promote diversification and liquidity. These policies restrict the amounts and terms of the Bank’s investments with any given counterparty according to the Bank’s own capital position as well as the capital and creditworthiness of the counterparty. The following table presents the Bank’s investment credit exposure at the dates indicated, based on counterparties’ long-term credit ratings provided by Moody’s Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s, or comparable Fitch ratings.

Many of the Bank’s members and their affiliates are extensively involved in residential mortgage finance. Accordingly, members or their affiliates may be involved in the sale of MBS to the Bank or in the origination or securitization of the mortgage loans backing the MBS purchased by the Bank.
The Bank held approximately $6.8 billion carrying value of non-agency MBS at September 30, 2006, that had been issued by entities sponsored by five members or their affiliates. In addition, the Bank held $3.3 billion carrying value of MBS at September 30, 2006, that had been purchased from three registered securities dealers that were affiliates of members at the time of purchase.
The Bank held approximately $6.6 billion carrying value of non-agency MBS at December 31, 2005, that had been issued by entities sponsored by five members or their affiliates. In addition, the Bank held $3.1 billion carrying value of MBS at December 31, 2005, that had been purchased from three registered securities dealers that were affiliates of members at the time of purchase.
Derivatives Counterparties.The Bank has also adopted credit policies and exposure limits for derivatives credit exposure. All extensions of credit (including interest rate swaps, caps, floors, corridors, and collars) to counterparties that are members of the Bank, in which the Bank serves as an intermediary, must be fully secured by eligible collateral and are subject to both the Bank’s Advances and Security Agreement and a master netting agreement. For all derivatives dealer counterparties, the Bank selects only highly rated derivatives dealers and major banks that meet the Bank’s eligibility criteria.
In addition, the Bank has entered into master netting agreements and bilateral security agreements with all active derivatives dealer counterparties that provide for delivery of collateral at specified levels tied to counterparty credit rating to limit net unsecured credit exposure to these counterparties. The following table presents the Bank’s credit exposure to its derivatives counterparties at the dates indicated.

At September 30, 2006, the Bank had a total of $271.8 billion in notional amounts of derivatives contracts outstanding. Of this total:
| • | | $271.1 billion represented notional amounts of derivatives contracts outstanding with 22 nonmember derivatives counterparties. Nine of these counterparties made up 82% of the total nonmember notional amount outstanding and individually ranged from 5% to 16% of the total. The remaining nonmember counterparties each represented less than 5% of the total nonmember notional amount outstanding. Four of the nonmember derivatives counterparties, with $37 billion of derivatives outstanding at September 30, 2006, were affiliates of members. |
| • | | $670 million represented notional amounts with member counterparties, which included notional amounts of derivatives contracts and MPF purchase commitments with six member counterparties. The Bank entered into this $670 million notional amount of derivatives as an intermediary and entered into the same amount of exactly offsetting transactions with nonmember derivatives counterparties. The Bank’s intermediation in this manner allows members indirect access to the derivatives market. |
Gross credit exposure at September 30, 2006, was $26 million, which consisted of:
| • | | $6 million of gross credit exposure with two nonmember derivatives counterparties. After consideration of collateral held by the Bank, the amount of net unsecured exposure totaled $1 million. |
| • | | $20 million of gross credit exposure on open derivative contracts with 3 member counterparties, all of which was secured with eligible collateral. |
At December 31, 2005, the Bank had a total of $244.4 billion in notional amounts of derivatives contracts outstanding. Of this total:
| • | | $243.7 billion represented notional amounts of derivatives contracts outstanding with 20 nonmember derivatives counterparties. Ten of these counterparties made up 84% of the total nonmember notional amount outstanding and individually ranged from 5% to 17% of the total. The remaining nonmember counterparties each represented less than 5% of the total nonmember notional amount |
55
| outstanding. Three of the nonmember derivatives counterparties, with $28.6 billion of derivatives outstanding at December 31, 2005, were affiliates of members. |
| • | | $715 million represented notional amounts with member counterparties, which included notional amounts of derivatives contracts and MPF purchase commitments with seven member counterparties. The Bank entered into this $715 million notional amount of derivatives as an intermediary and entered into the same amount of exactly offsetting transactions with nonmember derivatives counterparties. The Bank’s intermediation in this manner allows members indirect access to the derivatives market. |
Gross credit exposure at December 31, 2005, was $24 million, which consisted of:
| • | | $1 million of gross credit exposure with one nonmember derivatives counterparty. After consideration of collateral held by the Bank, the amount of net unsecured exposure totaled $1 million. |
| • | | $23 million of gross credit exposure on open derivative contracts with four member counterparties, all of which was secured with eligible collateral. |
The notional amount of derivatives contracts outstanding with nonmember derivatives counterparties grew $27.4 billion from December 31, 2005, to September 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to a $38.4 billion increase in interest rate exchange agreements that hedge various types of consolidated obligations, partially offset by a $10.7 billion decrease in interest rate swaps used to hedge the market risk of new short- and intermediate-term fixed rate advances. An increase or decrease in the notional amounts of derivative contracts may not result in a corresponding increase or decrease in gross credit exposure because the fair values of derivatives contracts are generally zero at inception.
Market Risk
The Bank’s market risk management objective is to maintain a relatively low exposure of net equity value and future earnings (excluding the impact of SFAS 133) to changes in interest rates. This profile reflects the Bank’s objective of maintaining a conservative asset-liability mix and its commitment to providing value to its members through products and the dividend without subjecting their investments in Bank capital stock to significant interest rate risk.
Risk identification and risk measurement are primarily accomplished through (i) market value sensitivity analyses, (ii) net interest income sensitivity analyses, and (iii) repricing gap analyses. The Risk Management Policy approved by the Board of Directors establishes market risk policy limits and market risk measurement standards at the total Bank level. Additional guidelines approved by the Bank’s asset-liability management committee (ALCO) apply to the Bank’s two business segments.
These guidelines provide limits that are monitored at the segment level and are consistent with the total Bank policy limits. Interest rate risk is managed for each business segment on a daily basis, as discussed in “Segment Market Risk.” At least monthly, compliance with Bank policies and management guidelines is presented to the ALCO or Board of Directors with a corrective action plan, if applicable.
Total Bank Market Risk.
Market Value of Equity Sensitivity –The Bank uses market value of equity sensitivity (the interest rate sensitivity of the net fair value of all assets, liabilities, and interest rate exchange agreements) to measure the Bank’s exposure to changes in interest rates. The Bank maintains its estimated market value of equity sensitivity within the limits specified by the Board of Directors in the Risk Management Policy primarily by managing the term, size, timing, and interest rate attributes of assets, liabilities, and interest rate exchange agreements acquired, issued, or executed.

The following table presents the estimated percentage change in the Bank’s market value of equity that would result from changes in interest rates under different interest rate scenarios.
Market Value of Equity Sensitivity
Estimated Percentage Change in Market Value of Bank Equity
for Various Changes in Interest Rates
| | | | | | |
Interest Rate Scenario1 | | September 30, 2006 | | | December 31, 2005 | |
+200 basis-point change | | –3.9 | % | | –4.1 | % |
+100 basis-point change | | –1.8 | | | –1.9 | |
–100 basis-point change | | +1.1 | | | +1.5 | |
–200 basis-point change | | +1.4 | | | +1.8 | |
| 1 | Instantaneous change from actual rates at dates indicated. |
The Bank’s estimates of the sensitivity of the market value of equity to changes in interest rates show substantially the same sensitivity as of September 30, 2006, compared to estimates as of December 31, 2005. Compared to interest rates as of December 31, 2005, interest rates as of September 30, 2006, were 46 basis points higher for terms of 1 year, 20 basis points higher for terms of 5 years, and 23 basis points higher for terms of 10 years. The higher interest rates, coupled with flattening of the yield curve, have had mixed results on the mortgage portfolio and have had very modest effects on the market value of equity sensitivity profile.
Potential Dividend Yield –The potential dividend yield is a measure used by the Bank to assess financial performance. The potential dividend yield is based on current period earnings excluding the effects of unrealized fair value adjustments made in accordance with SFAS 133, which will generally reverse over the remaining contractual terms to maturity, or by the exercised call or put date, of the hedged assets, hedged liabilities, and derivatives.
The Bank limits the sensitivity of projected financial performance through a Board of Directors’ policy limit on projected adverse changes in the potential dividend yield. The policy limits the adverse impact of a simulated plus or minus 200-basis-point instantaneous change in interest rates (limited such that interest rates cannot be less than zero) on the projected potential dividend yield, measured over a 12-month forecast period, to –175 basis points. Results of simulations as of September 30, 2006, showed that the adverse change in the projected potential dividend yield from an instantaneous and parallel increase or decrease of 200 basis points in interest rates was –65 basis points, well within the policy limit of –175 basis points.
Repricing Gap Analysis –Repricing gap analysis shows the interest rate sensitivity of assets, liabilities, and interest rate exchange agreements by term-to-maturity (fixed rate instruments) or repricing interval (adjustable rate instruments). The amounts shown in the following table represent the net difference between total asset and liability repricings, including the impact of interest rate exchange agreements, for a specified time period (the “periodic gap”).

Segment Market Risk. The financial performance and interest rate risks of each business segment are managed within prescribed guidelines, which, when combined, are consistent with the policy limits for the total Bank.
58
Advances-Related Business –Interest rate risk arises from the advances-related business primarily through the use of member-contributed capital to fund fixed rate investments of targeted amounts and maturities. In general, advances result in very little net interest rate risk for the Bank because most fixed rate advances with original maturities greater than three months and advances with embedded options are hedged contemporaneously with interest rate swaps or options with terms offsetting the advance. The interest rate swaps and options generally are maintained as hedges for the life of the advances. These hedged advances effectively create a pool of variable rate assets, which, in combination with the strategy of raising debt swapped to variable rate liabilities, creates an advances portfolio with low net interest rate risk.
Non-MBS investments have maturities of less than three months or are variable rate investments. These investments also effectively match the interest rate risk of the Bank’s variable rate funding.
The interest rate risk in the advances-related business is primarily associated with the Bank’s strategy for investing the members’ contributed capital. The Bank invests approximately 50% of its capital in short-term assets (maturities of three months or less) and approximately 50% of its capital in a laddered portfolio of fixed rate financial instruments with maturities of one month to four years (“targeted gaps”).
The strategy to invest 50% of members’ contributed capital in short-term assets is intended to mitigate the market value of capital risks associated with potential repurchase or redemption of members’ excess capital stock. The strategy to invest 50% of capital in a laddered portfolio of instruments with maturities to four years is intended to take advantage of the higher earnings available from a generally positively sloped yield curve, when intermediate-term investments generally have higher yields than short-term investments. Excess capital stock primarily results from a decline in a member’s advances; capital stock, when repurchased or redeemed, is required to be repurchased or redeemed at its par value of $100 per share.
Management updates the repricing and maturity gaps for actual asset, liability, and derivative transactions that occur in the advances-related segment each day. Management regularly compares the targeted repricing and maturity gaps to the actual repricing and maturity gaps to identify rebalancing needs for the targeted gaps. On a weekly basis management evaluates the projected impact of expected maturities and scheduled repricings of assets, liabilities, and interest rate exchange agreements on the interest rate risk of the advances-related segment. The analyses are prepared under base case and alternate interest rate scenarios to assess the effect of put options and call options embedded in the advances, related financing, and hedges. These analyses are also used to measure and manage potential reinvestment risk (when the remaining term of advances is shorter than the remaining term of the financing) and potential refinancing risk (when the remaining term of advances is longer than the remaining term of the financing).
Because of the short-term and variable rate nature of the assets, liabilities, and derivatives of the advances-related business, the Bank’s interest rate risk guidelines address the amounts of net assets that are expected to mature or reprice in a given period. The repricing gap analysis table as of September 30, 2006, in “Repricing Gap Analysis” above shows that approximately $6.6 billion of net assets for the advances-related business (63% of capital) were scheduled to mature or reprice in the six-month period following September 30, 2006, which is consistent with the Bank’s guidelines. Net market value sensitivity analysis and net interest income simulations are also used to identify and measure risk and variances to the target interest rate risk exposure in the advances-related segment.
Mortgage-Related Business –The Bank’s mortgage assets include MBS, most of which are classified as held-to-maturity and some of which are classified as trading, and mortgage loans purchased under the MPF Program. The Bank is exposed to interest rate risk from the mortgage-related business because the principal cash flows of the mortgage assets and the liabilities that fund them are not exactly matched through time and across all possible interest rate scenarios, given the uncertainty of the mortgage prepayments and the existence of interest rate caps on certain adjustable rate MBS.
The Bank purchases a mix of intermediate-term fixed rate and floating rate MBS. Generally, purchases of long-term fixed rate MBS have been relatively small; any MPF loans acquired are long-term fixed rate mortgage assets. This results in a mortgage portfolio that has a diversified set of interest rate risk attributes.
59
The estimated market risk of the mortgage-related business is managed both at the time an individual asset is purchased and on a total portfolio level. At the time of purchase (for all significant mortgage asset acquisitions), the Bank analyzes the estimated earnings sensitivity risk, estimated net market value sensitivity, and estimated prepayment sensitivity of the mortgage assets and anticipated funding and hedging under various interest rate scenarios. The related funding and hedging transactions are executed at or close to the time of purchase of a mortgage asset.
At least monthly, management reviews the estimated market risk of the entire portfolio of mortgage assets and related funding and hedges. Rebalancing strategies to modify the estimated mortgage portfolio market risks are then considered. Periodically, management performs more in-depth analyses, which include the impacts of non-parallel shifts in the yield curve and assessments of unanticipated prepayment behavior. Based on these analyses, management may take actions to rebalance the mortgage portfolio’s estimated market risk profile. These rebalancing strategies may include entering into new funding and hedging transactions, forgoing or modifying certain funding or hedging transactions normally executed with new mortgage purchases, or terminating certain funding and hedging transactions for the mortgage asset portfolio.
The Bank manages the estimated interest rate and prepayment risk associated with mortgage assets through a combination of debt issuance and derivatives. The Bank may obtain funding through callable and non-callable FHLBank System debt and execute derivative transactions to achieve principal cash flow patterns and market value sensitivities for the liabilities and derivatives similar to those expected on the mortgage assets. Debt issued to finance mortgage assets may be fixed rate debt, callable fixed rate debt, or adjustable rate debt. Derivatives may be used as temporary hedges of anticipated debt issuance, as temporary hedges of mortgage loan purchase commitments, or as long-term hedges of debt used to finance the mortgage assets. The derivatives used to hedge the interest rate risk of fixed rate mortgage assets generally may be options to enter into interest rate swaps (swaptions) or callable and non-callable pay-fixed interest rate swaps. Derivatives used to hedge the periodic cap risks of adjustable rate mortgages may be receive-adjustable, pay-adjustable swaps with embedded caps that offset the periodic caps in the mortgage assets.
The Bank’s interest rate risk guidelines for the mortgage-related business address the net market value sensitivity of the assets, liabilities, and derivatives of the mortgage-related business. The following table presents results of the estimated market value of equity sensitivity analysis attributable to the mortgage-related business as of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005.

The Bank’s estimates of the sensitivity of the market value of equity to changes in interest rates show substantially the same sensitivity as of September 30, 2006, compared to estimates as of December 31, 2005. Compared to interest rates as of December 31, 2005, interest rates as of September 30, 2006, were 46 basis points higher for terms of 1 year, 20 basis points higher for terms of 5 years, and 23 basis points higher for terms of 10 years. The higher interest rates, coupled with flattening of the yield curve, have had mixed results on the mortgage portfolio and have had very modest effects on the market value of equity sensitivity profile.
Interest Rate Exchange Agreements. A derivative transaction or interest rate exchange agreement is a financial contract whose fair value is generally derived from changes in the value of an underlying asset or liability. The Bank uses interest rate swaps, swaptions, interest rate cap, floor, corridor and collar agreements, and callable and putable interest rate swaps (collectively, interest rate exchange agreements) to manage its exposure to interest rate risks inherent in its normal course of business – lending, investment, and funding

activities. For more information on the primary strategies that the Bank employs for using interest rate exchange agreements and the associated market risks, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management – Market Risk – Interest Rate Exchange Agreements” in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K.
The following table summarizes the Bank’s interest rate exchange agreements by type of hedged item, hedging instrument, associated hedging strategy, accounting designation as specified under SFAS 133, and notional amount as of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005.

At September 30, 2006, the total notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements outstanding was $271.8 billion, compared with $244.4 billion at December 31, 2005. The $27.4 billion increase in the notional amount of derivatives during the first nine months of 2006 was primarily due to a $38.4 billion increase in interest rate exchange agreements that hedge various types of consolidated obligations, partially offset by a $10.7 billion decrease in interest rate swaps used to hedge the market risk of new short- and intermediate-term fixed rate advances. The notional amount serves as a basis for calculating periodic interest payments or cash flows received and paid.
The following table categorizes the notional amounts and estimated fair value gains and losses of the Bank’s interest rate exchange agreements, excluding accrued interest, and related hedged items by product and type of accounting treatment under SFAS 133 as of September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005.

Currently, the primary source of SFAS 133-related income volatility arises from economic hedges. These are hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under the rules of SFAS 133. Economic hedges introduce the potential for earnings volatility because the changes in fair value recorded on the interest rate exchange agreements generally are not offset by corresponding changes in the value of the economically hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments. These economic hedges are primarily transacted as non-SFAS 133-hedge qualifying at inception but also arise when hedge accounting is discontinued when the Bank determines that a derivative no longer qualifies as an effective hedge.
The ongoing impact of SFAS 133 on the Bank cannot be predicted, and the Bank’s retained earnings in the future may not be sufficient to offset the impact of SFAS 133. The effects of SFAS 133 may lead to significant volatility in future earnings, other comprehensive income, and dividends. Because the SFAS 133 periodic and cumulative net unrealized gains or losses are primarily a matter of timing, the unrealized gains or losses will generally reverse over the remaining contractual terms to maturity, call date, or put date of the hedged financial instruments and associated interest rate exchange agreements. However, the Bank may have instances in which hedging relationships are terminated prior to maturity or prior to the exercised call or put dates. The impact of terminating the hedging relationship may result in a realized gain or loss. In addition, the Bank may have instances in which it may sell trading securities prior to maturity, which may also result in a realized gain or loss.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make a number of judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities (if applicable), and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Changes in estimates and assumptions could potentially affect the Bank’s financial position and results of operations significantly. Although management believes these judgments, estimates, and assumptions to be reasonably accurate, actual results may differ.
The Bank has identified four accounting policies that it believes are critical because they require management to make subjective or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies include estimating the allowance for credit losses on the advance and mortgage loan portfolios; accounting for derivatives; estimating fair values of investments classified as trading and all derivatives and hedged items carried at fair value in accordance with SFAS 133; and estimating the fair value of the collateral pledged to the Bank. These policies and the judgments, estimates, and assumptions are described in greater detail in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K in Note 1 to the Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”
Recent Developments
Publication of FHLBanks’ 2005 Combined Financial Report by Office of Finance. On November 8, 2006, the Office of Finance published the FHLBanks’ 2005 Combined Financial Report, including audited combined financial statements of the 12 FHLBanks. The Office of Finance also announced that the combined financial statements of the FHLBanks had been restated as of and for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, as a result of restatements at seven of the 12 FHLBanks, and that the effects of these restatements were reflected in the 2005 Combined Financial Report for the appropriate periods. The Office of Finance also announced that it expects to release third quarter 2006 operating highlights for the FHLBanks in mid-November 2006 and publish the 2004 Combined Financial Report for historical reference by yearend 2006 or early 2007. The Office of Finance also said it is expected that scheduled combined financial reporting for the FHLBanks will resume with the publication of the 2006 Combined Financial Report by March 31, 2007, and continue with subsequent quarterly reports for 2007. Delays in the publication of the Combined Financial Reports may have an effect on the cost of FHLBank System debt, the timing of the issuance of new FHLBank System debt, and other aspects of the Bank’s operations.

Proposed Finance Board Rule to Change the Capital Structure of the FHLBanks. On March 15, 2006, the Finance Board published a proposed rule that would change the capital structure of the FHLBanks by requiring a minimum level of retained earnings and restricting the amount of excess stock that an FHLBank can accumulate. The comment period on the proposed rule ended on July 13, 2006. The final rule, if any, approved by the Finance Board may be different from the proposed rule. Under the proposed rule:
| • | | Each FHLBank would be required to hold retained earnings of at least $50 million plus 1% of non-advance assets. |
| • | | Dividends would be limited to no more than 50% of net income until the FHLBank reaches its required level of retained earnings. |
| • | | Payment of any dividends thereafter would be restricted if the FHLBank’s retained earnings drop below its required level. |
| • | | The FHLBank’s excess capital stock would be limited to no more than 1% of total assets. |
| • | | Members would be prohibited from purchasing capital stock in excess of their minimum capital stock requirements. |
| • | | The FHLBanks would be prohibited from paying dividends to their members in stock form. |
Based on management’s current analysis, the Bank has determined that the proposed rule, if approved in its current form, would significantly reduce the percentage of Bank earnings available for dividends for a number of years, would require the Bank to pay dividends in the form of cash instead of stock, could have a negative effect on the Bank’s ability to compete for the business of its members and ability to attract capital from members and potential members, and may have other unanticipated consequences. See “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q.
Merger between Wachovia Corporation and Golden West Financial Corporation. On October 1, 2006, Wachovia Corporation completed its merger with Golden West Financial Corporation (Golden West). Golden West is the holding company of World Savings Bank, FSB, the Bank’s third largest borrower and stockholder as of September 30, 2006. World Savings Bank, FSB, remained a member of the Bank after the merger. It is uncertain at this time what effect, if any, the merger will have on the Bank.
Reorganization of Citibank (West), FSB, into Citibank, N.A., As of September 30, 2006, Citibank (West), FSB, was the Bank’s largest borrower and shareholder. Effective October 1, 2006, Citibank (West), FSB, was reorganized into Citibank, N.A., whose main office is located in Nevada. Citibank, N.A., became a member of the Bank after the reorganization became effective. Citibank, N.A., is also the Bank’s primary securities custodian and a derivatives dealer counterparty. Citibank, N.A., served in these roles prior to and after the reorganization. In addition, the Bank has financial relationships with two affiliates of Citibank, N.A., They are (i) Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., which is a bond underwriter and dealer for the issuance of the FHLBank System’s consolidated obligations, and (ii) Citigroup Institutional Trust Company, which is the securities custodian for securities pledged to the Bank by Citibank, N.A., and its approved subsidiaries.
2006 Board of Directors Election Results.On November 9, 2006, the Bank announced that the institutions eligible to vote in its California election had elected incumbent directors James P. Giraldin and D. Tad Lowrey to new terms on the Bank’s Board of Directors and the institutions eligible to vote in its Nevada election had elected J. Benson Porter to a new term on the Board, each for a three-year term beginning January 1, 2007, and ending December 31, 2009. Mr. Giraldin is an officer of First Federal Bank of California, Santa Monica, California. Mr. Lowrey is an officer of Fullerton Community Bank, Fullerton, California. Mr. Porter is an officer of Washington Mutual Bank, Henderson, Nevada.
65
Designation of Elected Director Positions.Earlier this year, the Finance Board redesignated two of the Bank’s eight elected director positions from California to Nevada, effective January 1, 2007, which will result in four elected director positions for California, three for Nevada, and one for Arizona for 2007. One of the two newly designated Nevada director positions is the position to be filled by Mr. Porter, as referenced above. The Bank’s Board of Directors is required to select an officer or director of a Bank member located in Nevada to fill the other newly designated Nevada director position, effective January 1, 2007, to complete the remaining two years of a three-year term ending December 31, 2008.
In 2007, the Finance Board’s annual designation of elected director positions for the Bank will be based on the number of shares of capital stock required to be held by the members in each state in the Bank’s district as of December 31, 2006, and will take effect January 1, 2008. Given increases in the number of shares of capital stock required to be held by the Bank’s Nevada members in 2006, the relative number of shares of capital stock required to be held by the members in each state as of December 31, 2006, may result in the redesignation of another elected director position from California to Nevada, effective January 1, 2008.
Arizona Director Position Vacancy. Effective October 23, 2006, the Arizona director position on the Bank’s Board of Directors became vacant upon the merger of Northern Trust Bank, N.A., Phoenix, Arizona, under the charter of Northern Trust, N.A., Miami, Florida. As Executive Vice President and Director of Northern Trust Bank, N.A., Kenneth R. Harder served in the Arizona director position until the merger. Under the rules of the Finance Board, Mr. Harder must be an officer or director of a Bank member located in Arizona to be eligible to remain in this position on the Board. As of the effective date of the merger, Mr. Harder’s member position no longer qualified him for the Board, and under the rules of the Finance Board, the Arizona director position became vacant. The Bank’s Board of Directors is required to select an officer or director of a Bank member located in Arizona to fill the vacant position for the remainder of Mr. Harder’s current term, which ends December 31, 2007. At this time, the vacancy has not been filled.
Delay in Implementation of Amendment to the Bank’s Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy. On June 14, 2006, the Bank announced that the Board of Directors had amended the Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy to increase the target for the build-up of retained earnings other than SFAS 133 fair value gains to $296 million and to make available for dividends, beginning with the third quarter of 2006, approximately 80% of net income (excluding the effects of SFAS 133) until that target was reached. On June 30, 2006, the Bank’s Board of Directors voted to delay implementation of the amendment to provide additional time to review alternatives to the Bank’s capital structure.
Bank No Longer Offers New Commitments to Purchase Mortgage Loans. On October 6, 2006, the Bank announced that it will no longer offer new commitments to purchase mortgage loans from its members under the Mortgage Partnership Finance® Program. The Bank will continue to purchase loans under existing purchase commitments. The Bank intends to retain the existing portfolio of mortgage loans, which had outstanding balances of $4.8 billion as of September 30, 2006, representing approximately 2% of the Bank’s total assets. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Mortgage-Related Business” for more information.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Guarantees, and Other Commitments
In accordance with Finance Board regulations, the Bank is jointly and severally liable for the FHLBank System’s consolidated obligations issued under Section 11(a) of the FHLB Act, and in accordance with the FHLB Act, the Bank is jointly and severally liable for consolidated obligations issued under Section 11(c) of the FHLB Act. The joint and several liability regulation of the Finance Board authorizes the Finance Board to require any FHLBank to repay all or a portion of the principal or interest on consolidated obligations for which another FHLBank is the primary obligor.
The Bank’s joint and several contingent liability is a guarantee, as defined by FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
66
Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34 (FIN 45), but is excluded from the initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45. The valuation of this contingent liability is therefore not recorded on the balance sheet of the Bank. The par amount of the outstanding consolidated obligations of all 12 FHLBanks was $958.0 billion at September 30, 2006, and $937.5 billion at December 31, 2005. The par value of the Bank’s participation in consolidated obligations was $218.7 billion at September 30, 2006, and $212.3 billion at December 31, 2005. The Bank had committed to the issuance of consolidated obligations totaling $2.5 billion at September 30, 2006, and $1.4 billion at December 31, 2005. For additional information on the Bank’s joint and several liability contingent obligation, see Notes 12 and 18 to the Financial Statements in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K.
In addition, in the ordinary course of business, the Bank engages in financial transactions that, in accordance with GAAP, are not recorded on the Bank’s balance sheet or may be recorded on the Bank’s balance sheet in amounts that are different from the full contract or notional amount of the transactions. For example, the Bank routinely enters into commitments to extend advances and issues standby letters of credit. These commitments and standby letters of credit may represent future cash requirements of the Bank, although the standby letters of credit usually expire without being drawn upon. Standby letters of credit are subject to the same underwriting and collateral requirements as advances made by the Bank. At September 30, 2006, the Bank had $8.3 billion of advance commitments and $1.0 billion in standby letters of credit outstanding. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had $2.8 billion of advance commitments and $810 million in standby letters of credit outstanding. The estimated fair values of these commitments and standby letters of credit were immaterial to the balance sheet at September 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005.
The Bank’s financial statements do not include a liability for future statutorily mandated payments from the Bank to the Resolution Funding Corporation (REFCORP). No liability is recorded because each FHLBank must pay 20% of net earnings (after its Affordable Housing Program obligation) to the REFCORP to support the payment of part of the interest on the bonds issued by the REFCORP, and each FHLBank is unable to estimate its future required payments because the payments are based on the future earnings of that FHLBank and the other FHLBanks and are not estimable under SFAS 5,Accounting for Contingencies. Accordingly, the REFCORP payments are disclosed as a long-term statutory payment requirement and, for accounting purposes, are treated, accrued, and recognized like an income tax.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition – Risk Management – Market Risk” beginning on page 56 of this Form 10-Q.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Bank’s senior management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Bank in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Bank in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Bank’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Bank’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and the Bank’s management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of controls and procedures.
Management of the Bank has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
67
and Controller as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Bank’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Controller have concluded that the Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
For the third quarter of 2006, there were no changes in the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting.
Consolidated Obligations
The Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures for accumulating and communicating information in compliance with the Bank’s disclosure and financial reporting requirements relating to the joint and several liability for the consolidated obligations of other FHLBanks. Because the FHLBanks are independently managed and operated, management of the Bank relies on information that is provided or disseminated by the Finance Board, the Office of Finance or the other FHLBanks, as well as on published FHLBank credit ratings, in determining whether the Bank’s joint and several liability is reasonably likely to result in a direct obligation for the Bank or whether it is reasonably possible that the Bank will accrue a direct liability.
Management of the Bank also relies on the operation of the Finance Board’s joint and several liability regulation (12 C.F.R. Section 966.9). The joint and several liability regulation requires that each FHLBank file with the Finance Board a quarterly certification that it will remain capable of making full and timely payment of all of its current obligations, including direct obligations, coming due during the next quarter. In addition, if an FHLBank cannot make such a certification or if it projects that it may be unable to meet its current obligations during the next quarter on a timely basis, it must file a notice with the Finance Board. Under the joint and several liability regulation, the Finance Board may order any FHLBank to make principal and interest payments on any consolidated obligations of any other FHLBank, or allocate the outstanding liability of an FHLBank among all remaining FHLBanks on a pro rata basis in proportion to each FHLBank’s participation in all consolidated obligations outstanding or on any other basis.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
The Bank may be subject to various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, management is not aware of any such proceedings that might result in the Bank’s ultimate liability in an amount that will have a material effect on the Bank’s financial condition or results of operations.
For a discussion of risk factors, see “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Bank’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (2005 Form 10-K). Other than with respect to the risk factors below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K. The first risk factor below is an update on the competition that the Bank faces from alternative sources of funding available to its members. The second risk factor below is an update on the possible impact on the Bank and members if the Finance Board adopts its proposed rule regarding retained earnings in its current form. The Finance Board’s proposed rule regarding retained earnings was previously discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Bank’s 2005 Form 10-K and in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Developments” in the Bank’s Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006.
68
We face competition for advances and access to funding, which could adversely affect our business.
Our primary business is making advances to our members. We compete with other suppliers of wholesale funding, both secured and unsecured, including investment banks, commercial banks, and, in certain circumstances, other FHLBanks. Our members have access to alternative funding sources, including independent access to the national and global credit markets. Recently, one member issued collateralized debt through the European covered bond market. These alternative funding sources may offer more favorable terms than we do on our advances, including more flexible credit or collateral standards. In addition, many of our competitors are not subject to the same regulations, which may enable those competitors to offer products and terms that we are not able to offer.
The FHLBanks also compete with the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and other GSEs, as well as corporate, sovereign, and supranational entities, for funds raised through the issuance of unsecured debt in the national and global debt markets. Increases in the supply of competing debt products may, in the absence of increases in demand, result in higher debt costs or lower amounts of debt issued at the same cost than otherwise would be the case. Increased competition could adversely affect our ability to have access to funding, reduce the amount of funding available to us, or increase the cost of funding available to us. Any of these effects could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and ability to pay dividends to our members.
Adoption of the Finance Board’s proposed rule on FHLBank retained earnings and stock dividends could have adverse consequences for the Bank and its members.
If adopted in its current form, the Finance Board’s proposed rule would, among other things, require each FHLBank to hold retained earnings of at least $50 million plus 1% of non-advance assets, limit dividends to no more than 50% of net income until an FHLBank reaches its required level of retained earnings, restrict an FHLBank’s dividends if its retained earnings drop below the required level, and prohibit dividends in the form of capital stock. The proposed rule would be likely to significantly reduce the percentage of Bank earnings available for dividends for a number of years, which could harm members, have a negative effect on the Bank’s ability to compete for the business of its members and ability to attract capital from members and potential members, and have other unanticipated consequences. In particular, the proposed rule could increase the all-in cost of advances for members since the all-in cost takes into account the value of dividends associated with the required stock holdings. Increasing the cost of advances will likely make Bank advances less attractive to members, which could adversely affect the Bank’s core business and could cause larger members to leave the FHLBank System or shift their business to other FHLBanks. Increasing the level of retained earnings and limiting dividend payments during periods of transition could also constrain the expansion and contraction features of the Bank’s business model and may reduce the amount of funds available for the Affordable Housing Program and other Bank initiatives to foster housing and community economic development.
Based on our current analysis, we have determined that the proposed retained earnings formula of $50 million plus 1% of non-advance assets would require the Bank to raise its target for the build-up of retained earnings from $130 million to approximately $622 million, based on the Bank’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2006. The results of this current analysis are not necessarily indicative of the future impact on the Bank under any final rule approved by the Finance Board and any actions taken by the Bank in response to any final rule.
Comments on the proposed rule were due to the Finance Board by July 13, 2006. It is not known at this time whether the Finance Board will adopt the proposed rule in its current form or any rule to require the FHLBanks to increase retained earnings, limit dividends, or prohibit dividends in the form of capital stock.
