FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF DES MOINES
CONDENSED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Background Information
The Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (the Bank) is a federally chartered corporation that is exempt from all federal, state, and local taxation except real property taxes and is one of 12 district Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks). The FHLBanks were created under the authority of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (the Act). The FHLBanks are supervised and regulated by the Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board). The FHLBanks serve the public by enhancing the availability of funds (advances and mortgage loans) for residential mortgages and targeted community development. The Bank provides a readily available, low cost source of funds to its member institutions and eligible housing associates in Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Regulated financial depositories and insurance companies engaged in residential housing finance may apply for membership. State and local housing authorities that meet certain statute or criteria may also borrow from the Bank; while eligible to borrow, housing associates are not members of the Bank and, as such, are not required to hold capital stock.
Note 1—Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Bank for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.) of America (GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by GAAP for full year information and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, which are contained in the Bank’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information is complete and reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
Descriptions of the significant accounting policies of the Bank are included in Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) of the Bank’s 2006 audited financial statements in the annual report on Form 10-K.

Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Standards & Interpretations
SFAS 157.On September 15, 2006, the Federal Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Account Standards (SFAS) No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(SFAS 157). In defining fair value, SFAS 157 retains the exchange price notion in earlier definitions of fair value. However, the definition of fair value under SFAS 157 focuses on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price), not the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability (an entry price). SFAS 157 applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop assumptions used to determine the exit price. Under this standard, fair value measurements will be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (January 1, 2008 for the Bank) and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Bank has not yet determined the effect that the adoption of this statement will have on its results of operations or financial condition.
SFAS 159.On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115(SFAS 159). SFAS 159 creates a fair value option allowing, but not requiring, an entity to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and financial liabilities, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as they occur. It requires entities to separately display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. Additionally, SFAS 159 requires an entity to provide information that would allow users to understand the effect on earnings of changes in the fair value on those instruments selected for the fair value election. SFAS 159 is effective at the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007 (January 1, 2008 for the Bank). The Bank has not yet determined the effect that the adoption of this statement will have on its results of operations or financial condition.
9
FIN 39-1.On April 30, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. FIN 39-1,Amendment of FIN No. 39(FIN 39-1). FIN 39-1 permits an entity to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments and fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral (a receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (a payable) arising from derivative instruments recognized at fair value executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement. Under FIN 39-1, the receivable or payable related to cash collateral may not be offset if the amount recognized does not represent or approximate fair value or arises from instruments in a master netting arrangement that are not eligible to be offset. The decision whether to offset such fair value amounts represents an elective accounting policy decision that, once elected, must be applied consistently. FIN 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (January 1, 2008 for the Bank), with earlier application permitted. An entity should recognize the effects of applying FIN 39-1 as a change in accounting principle through retrospective application for all financial statements presented unless it is impracticable to do so. Upon adoption of FIN 39-1, an entity is permitted to change its accounting policy to offset or not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments under master netting arrangements. The Bank has not yet determined the effect that the adoption of FIN 39-1 will have on its financial statements.

Note 6—Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio
The Mortgage Partnership Finance (register mark) (MPF (register mark)) program(Mortgage Partnership Finance and MPF are registered trademarks of the FHLBank of Chicago) involves investment by the Bank in mortgage loans that are held for portfolio which are either funded by the Bank through, or purchased from, participating members. The Bank’s members originate, service, and credit enhance home mortgage loans that are then sold to the Bank. Members participating in the servicing released program do not service the loans owned by the Bank. The servicing on these loans is sold concurrently by the member to a designated mortgage servicer.
Mortgage loans with a contractual maturity of 15 years or less are classified as medium term, and all other mortgage loans are classified as long term. The following table presents information at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 on mortgage loans held for portfolio (dollars in thousands):

The par value of mortgage loans held for portfolio outstanding at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 consisted of government-insured loans totaling $467.9 million and $511.0 million and conventional loans totaling $10.7 billion and $11.2 billion, respectively.
15
The allowance for credit losses was $0.3 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The Bank did not have any charge-offs or recoveries during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Bank had $25.1 million and $23.5 million of nonaccrual loans. Interest income that was contractually owed to the Bank but not received on nonaccrual loans was $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Bank’s other assets included $6.1 million and $6.3 million of real estate owned.
Mortgage loans other than those included in large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Bank will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due under the contractual terms of the mortgage loan agreement. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Bank had no recorded investments in impaired mortgage loans.
The Bank records credit enhancement fees paid to members as a reduction to mortgage loan interest income. Credit enhancement fees totaled $5.3 million and $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and $10.6 million and $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
Note 7—Consolidated Obligations
Consolidated obligations are the joint and several obligations of the FHLBanks and consist of consolidated bonds and discount notes. The FHLBanks issue consolidated obligations through the Office of Finance as their agent. Consolidated bonds are issued to raise intermediate- and long-term funds for the FHLBanks and are not subject to any statutory or regulatory limits on maturity. Consolidated discount notes are issued to raise short-term funds of less than one year. These notes sell at less than their face amount and are redeemed at par value when they mature. See the Bank’s annual report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding consolidated obligations.
The par amounts of the FHLBanks’ outstanding consolidated obligations, including consolidated obligations held by other FHLBanks, were approximately $970.8 billion and $951.7 billion at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Note 8—Capital
The Bank is subject to three capital requirements. First, the Bank must maintain at all times permanent capital in an amount at least equal to the sum of its credit risk capital requirement, its market risk capital requirement, and its operations risk capital requirement, calculated in accordance with Bank policy and rules and regulations of the Finance Board. Only permanent capital, defined by the Finance Board as Class B stock and retained earnings, satisfies this risk based capital requirement. Second, the Bank is required to maintain at least a four percent total capital-to-asset ratio. Third, the Bank is required to maintain at least a five percent leverage ratio. The leverage ratio is defined as the sum of permanent capital weighted 1.5 times and nonpermanent capital weighted 1.0 times divided by total assets. Mandatorily redeemable capital stock is considered capital for determining the Bank’s compliance with its regulatory requirements.

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock.As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 the Bank had $69.4 million and $64.9 million in capital stock subject to mandatory redemption with payment subject to a five year waiting period. These amounts have been classified as “mandatorily redeemable capital stock” in the Statements of Condition.
The following table summarizes the Bank’s activity related to mandatorily redeemable capital stock for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and for the year ended December 31, 2006 (dollars in thousands).

Note 9—Segment Information
The Bank has identified two primary operating segments based on its method of internal reporting: Member Finance and Mortgage Finance. The products and services provided reflect the manner in which financial information is evaluated by management.
The Member Finance segment includes products such as advances, non-mortgage investments, and their related funding. Income from the Member Finance segment is derived primarily from the difference, or spread, between the yield on advances and non-mortgage investments and the borrowing and hedging costs related to those assets.
The Mortgage Finance segment includes mortgage loans acquired through the MPF program, mortgage-backed securities, and their related funding. Income from the Mortgage Finance segment is derived primarily from the difference, or spread, between the yield on mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities and the borrowing and hedging costs related to those assets.
Capital is allocated to the Mortgage Finance segment based on a percentage of the average balance of business segment assets; the remaining capital is then allocated to Member Finance.
19
The Bank evaluates performance of the segments based on adjusted net interest income after mortgage loan credit loss provision and therefore does not allocate other income, other expenses, or assessments to the operating segments.
The following shows the Bank’s financial performance by operating segment for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (dollars in thousands):

The Bank includes interest income and interest expense associated with economic hedges in its evaluation of financial performance for its two operating segments. Net interest income does not include these amounts in the statements of income for financial reporting purposes. Interest income and interest expense associated with economic hedges are recorded in other income in “Net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities” on the statements of income.

Note 10—Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Bank may enter into interest rate swaps, swaptions, interest rate cap and floor agreements, calls, puts, and futures and forward contracts (collectively, derivatives) to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. The Bank may adjust the effective maturity, repricing frequency, or option characteristics of financial instruments to achieve risk management objectives. The Bank uses derivatives as either a fair value hedge or in asset-liability management (i.e., economic hedge). For example, the Bank uses derivatives in its overall interest rate risk management to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of consolidated obligations to approximate more closely the interest rate sensitivity of assets (advances, investments, and mortgage loans), and/or to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of advances, investments, or mortgage loans to approximate more closely the interest rate sensitivity of liabilities. The Bank also uses derivatives to manage embedded options in assets and liabilities, to hedge the market value of existing assets and liabilities and anticipated transactions, to hedge the duration risk of prepayable instruments, and to reduce funding costs. See the Bank’s annual report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Bank’s derivative and hedging activities.
The Bank recorded the following net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities in other income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (dollars in thousands):

At June 30, 2007, the Bank did not have any embedded derivatives that required bifurcation. At December 31, 2006, the Bank had one callable bond with a par amount of $15.0 million that contained an embedded derivative that had been bifurcated from its host. The fair value of this embedded derivative was presented on a combined basis with the host contract and not included in the above table. The fair value of the embedded derivative was a liability of $0.1 million at December 31, 2006.
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Bank’s maximum credit risk related to derivative counterparties, as defined above, was $47.9 million and $36.1 million. These totals include $37.2 million and $28.3 million of net accrued interest receivable. In determining maximum credit risk, the Bank considers accrued interest receivables and payables and the legal right to offset derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty. The Bank held $10.0 million and $1.6 million as collateral at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies
As described in Note 7, the 12 FHLBanks have joint and several liability for all the consolidated obligations issued on their behalf. Accordingly, should one or more of the FHLBanks be unable to repay its participation in the consolidated obligations, each of the other FHLBanks could be called upon by the Finance Board to repay all or part of such obligations, as determined or approved by the Finance Board. No FHLBank has had to assume or pay the consolidated obligation of another FHLBank. The par amounts of the outstanding consolidated obligations issued on behalf of other FHLBanks for which the Bank is jointly and severally liable were approximately $927.7 billion and $913.6 billion at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
Standby letters of credit are executed for members for a fee. A standby letter of credit is a short-term financing arrangement between the Bank and a member. If the Bank is required to make payment for a beneficiary’s draw, these amounts are converted into a collateralized advance to the member. Outstanding standby letters of credit were approximately $1.4 billion at June 30, 2007, and had original terms between nine days and five years with a final expiration in 2012. Outstanding standby letters of credit were $1.3 billion at December 31, 2006, and had original terms between five days and five years with a final expiration in 2011. The value of the guarantees related to standby letters of credit are recorded in other liabilities and amount to $0.7 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Based on management’s credit analyses and collateral requirements, the Bank does not deem it necessary to have any provision for credit losses on these commitments.
Commitments that unconditionally obligate the Bank to fund or purchase mortgage loans from members in the MPF program totaled $24.8 million and $15.8 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Commitments are generally for periods not to exceed forty-five business days.
For managing the inherent credit risk in the MPF program, participating members receive base and performance based credit enhancement fees from the Bank. When the Bank incurs losses for certain MPF products, it reduces available credit enhancement fee payments until the amount of the loss is recovered up to the limit of the first loss account (FLA). The FLA is an indicator of the potential losses for which the Bank is liable (before the member’s credit enhancement is used to cover losses). The FLA amounted to $95.3 million and $94.1 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
Consolidated obligation discount notes that had traded but not settled at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were $0.3 million par value. Consolidated obligation bonds that had traded but not settled at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were $24.0 million and $0.0 million par value. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 the Bank had derivatives with a notional value of $77.5 million and $0.0 million that had traded but not settled. Advances that had traded but not settled at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were $53.5 million and $7.5 million. Advance commitments are fully collateralized throughout the life of the agreements.
25
The Bank generally executes derivatives with large highly rated banks and broker-dealers and enters into bilateral collateral agreements. The Bank had cash pledged as collateral to broker-dealers of $23.8 million and $11.3 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 for derivatives. Cash pledged as collateral is classified as interest-bearing deposits in the statements of condition.
The Bank may be subject to legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of business. The Bank presently is not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceedings.
Notes 5, 6, 7, and 10 discuss other commitments and contingencies.
Note 12—Activities with Stockholders and Housing Associates
Under the Bank’s capital plan, the only voting rights conferred upon the Bank’s members are for the election of directors. In accordance with the Act and Finance Board regulations, members elect a majority of the Bank’s Board of Directors. The remaining directors are appointed by the Finance Board. Under statute and regulations, each elective directorship is designated to one of the five states in the Bank’s district and a member is entitled to vote for candidates for the state in which the member’s principal place of business is located. A member is entitled to cast, for each applicable directorship, one vote for each share of capital stock that the member is required to hold, subject to a statutory limitation. Under this limitation, the total number of votes that a member may cast is limited to the average number of shares of the Bank’s capital stock that were required to be held by all members in that state as of the record date for voting. Non-member stockholders are not entitled to cast votes for the election of directors. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, no member owned more than 10 percent of the voting interests of the Bank due to statutory limits on members’ voting rights as discussed above.
Transactions with Stockholders.The Bank is a cooperative, which means that current members own nearly all of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank and may receive dividends on their investment. Former members own the remaining capital stock to support business transactions still carried on the Bank’s statements of condition. All advances are issued to members and former members, and all mortgage loans held for portfolio are purchased from members. The Bank also maintains demand deposit accounts for members primarily to facilitate settlement activities that are directly related to advances and mortgage loan purchases. The Bank may not invest in any equity securities issued by its stockholders. The Bank extends credit to members in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral that must be pledged to us, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other members unless otherwise discussed. These extensions of credit do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility and do not present other unfavorable features.
In addition, the Bank has investments in Federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits, commercial paper, and mortgage-backed securities that were issued by affiliates of the Bank’s members. All investments are transacted at market prices and mortgage-backed securities are purchased through securities brokers or dealers.

Transactions with Directors’ Financial Institutions. In the normal course of business, the Bank extends credit to its members whose directors and officers serve as its directors (Directors’ Financial Institutions).

At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, advances outstanding to the Bank Directors’ Financial Institutions aggregated $187.0 million and $158.7 million, representing 0.8 percent and 0.7 percent of the Bank’s total outstanding advances. There were no mortgage loans originated by the Bank Directors’ Financial Institutions during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Mortgage loans originated by the Bank Directors’ Financial Institutions were approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, capital stock outstanding to the Bank Directors’ Financial Institutions aggregated $20.5 million and $19.4 million, representing 1.0 percent of the Bank’s total outstanding capital stock. The Bank did not have any investment or derivative transactions with Directors’ Financial Institutions during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Note 13—Activities With Other FHLBanks
The Bank may invest in other FHLBank consolidated obligations, for which the other FHLBanks are the primary obligor, for liquidity purposes. The Bank did not have any investments in other FHLBank consolidated obligations at June 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006.
The Bank purchased MPF Shared Funding Certificates from the FHLBank of Chicago. See Note 4 - Held to Maturity Securities at page 12 for additional details.
In addition, the Bank recorded service fee expense as an offset to other income due to its relationship with the FHLBank of Chicago in the MPF program. The Bank recorded $0.1 million in service fee expense to the FHLBank of Chicago for each of the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 as a reduction of other income and $0.3 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
The FHLBank of Chicago pays the Bank a monthly participation fee based on the aggregate amount of outstanding loans purchased under the MPF program. The Bank recorded other income of $0.1 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and $0.2 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The FHLBank of Chicago is required to pay the Bank this monthly participation fee until the tenth anniversary of the day the agreement between the Bank and the FHLBank of Chicago is terminated. Either party may terminate the agreement with ninety days written notice to the other party.
29
The Bank may sell or purchase unsecured overnight and term Federal funds at market interest rates to or from other FHLBanks. The Bank did not make any loans to other FHLBanks during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The following table shows the borrowing activity from other FHLBanks for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (dollars in thousands):

The Office of Finance may also coordinate transfers of FHLBank debt amongst other FHLBanks. The Bank may, from time to time, assume the outstanding primary liability of another FHLBank rather than issue new debt for which the Bank is the primary obligor. The Bank did not assume the outstanding primary liability of another FHLBank during the six months ended June 30, 2007 or 2006. The Bank accounts for these transfers in the same manner as it accounts for new debt issuances.
Note 14—Subsequent Event
On July 13, 2007, a member rescinded their notice of withdrawal from the Bank. The Bank subsequently reclassified approximately $24.1 million from mandatorily redeemable capital stock to capital stock.
On August 10, 2007, the Board of Directors approved payment of a cash dividend at a rate of 4.25 percent per annum based on average capital stock balances for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The dividend amounted to $21.1 million and will be paid on August 17, 2007.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes at the beginning of this Form 10-Q and in conjunction with our Management’s Discussion and Analysis and annual report on Form 10-K.
Special Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements
Statements contained in this report, including statements describing the objectives, projections, estimates, or future predictions in our operations, may be forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such asanticipates,believes,could,estimates,may,should, andwillor their negatives or other variations on these terms. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk or uncertainty, and actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied or could affect the extent to which a particular objective, projection, estimate, or prediction is realized. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. We take responsibility for any forward-looking statement only as of the date the statement was made. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement.
Forward-looking statements in this report include, among others, statements regarding the following:
| • | | Our expectation that the change in our collateral maintenance levels will make our advance products more attractive to our membership. |
|
| • | | Our expectation that the volume of purchases for the Mortgage Partnership Finance (register mark) (MPF (register mark)) program(Mortgage Partnership Finance and MPF are registered trademarks of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago) will continue to be at low levels, which will reduce Mortgage Finance’s net interest income. The expected decrease in Mortgage Finance’s net interest income may be partially offset by interest income from the Bank’s Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) portfolio. |
|
| • | | Our ability to fund future liquidity and capital resource requirements. |
There can be no assurance that unanticipated risks will not materially and adversely affect our results of operations. For a description of some of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements see “Risk Factors” in the annual report on Form 10-K.

Conditions in the Financial Markets
Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and December 31, 2006
During the three months ended June 30, 2007 general economic and financial market performance had a mixed impact on the Bank’s net interest income. General economic performance and financial market conditions impact the Bank’s net interest income through their influence on (1) our advance, investment, and MPF volumes; (2) changes in the Bank’s funding costs and spreads; and (3) earnings on invested capital. While the general increase in interest rates increases net income due to higher earnings on invested capital, the rise in rates moderated the growth of MPF and advance assets.
Financial Market Conditions
During the first six months of 2007, average market interest rates increased when compared with 2006. The following table shows information on key average market interest rates for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and key market interest rates at December 31, 2006:

The Federal Reserve Board, through its Open Market Committee, which increased the Fed funds rate by 25 basis points four times in 2006, left the Fed funds rates unchanged during the first six months of 2007. During the three months ended June 30, 2007 average Fed funds increased by 35 basis points compared to the same period in 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 average Fed funds increased 56 basis points in comparison to the same period in 2006. Three month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) increased 37 basis points during the first six months of 2007 in comparison to the same period in 2006. During second quarter of 2007, LIBOR increased 14 basis points in comparison to the same period in 2006 due to increased short-term rates over the period.
32
Agency Spreads
Developments in the Agency debt market reduced the Bank’s after swap cost of funds during the period. Agency spreads to LIBOR increased in the shorter maturities during the second quarter of 2007 in comparison to the second quarter of 2006. Decreasing spreads were the result of lower government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) debt issuance relative to a year ago and continued investor interest in Agency debt. This resulted in less expensive funding for the Bank on a sub-LIBOR basis.

Mortgage Market Conditions
Developments in the mortgage-backed security markets improved the attractiveness of mortgage investments for the Bank. Poor sub-prime mortgage credit performance have kept traditional investors out of the market as delinquencies and foreclosures reach all time highs on securities backed by these loans. These concerns, along with increases in LIBOR option-adjusted spread (LOAS) during this same time period, improved the spreads that the Bank could earn on MBS investments. While we cannot predict future outcomes, to date we have not experienced credit losses for our holdings of mortgage loans or MBS, due primarily to our business model, conservative policy pertaining to advances collateral and investments, and reduced credit risk due to the design of our mortgage loan programs.
Selected Financial Data

Overview
The following discussion highlights significant factors influencing our results of operations and financial condition. Average balances are calculated on a daily weighted average basis. Amounts used to calculate percentage variances are based on numbers in thousands. Accordingly, recalculations may not produce the same results when the amounts are disclosed in millions.
The Bank’s members are both stockholders and customers. As a cooperative, we deliver value in a way that not only provides members with attractive product prices and reasonable returns on invested capital, but also provides the Bank with adequate retained earnings to support safe and sound business operations. The Bank’s financial policies and practices are designed to support those three key components.
Our advance portfolio increased to $22.6 billion at June 30, 2007 from $21.9 billion at December 31, 2006, or approximately 3.5 percent. The increase was primarily due to advances with our insurance company membership, which was the result of competitive advance pricing throughout the quarter. However, the growth in the advance portfolio continues to be impacted by competition from brokered deposits. Interest income on our advance portfolio increased $17.8 million or 6.4 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006. Interest income on our advance portfolio increased $55.4 million or 10.4 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with the same period in 2006. Although advance activity has increased during the first six months of 2007, the higher interest rate environment primarily drove the increase in advance interest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 when compared to the same periods in 2006. We continue to operate under our strategic imperative of delivering member value by focusing our efforts on growth opportunities, including developing and implementing sales and marketing strategies, and evaluating our advance pricing. During the second quarter of 2007, the Bank reviewed our collateral requirements and reduced the collateral maintenance levels thereby increasing our members’ borrowing capacity. We expect the change in our collateral maintenance levels to make our advance products more attractive to our membership.
Investments increased $4.6 billion to $12.8 billion at June 30, 2007 from $8.2 billion at December 31, 2006. In 2007, we reviewed our investment strategy to ensure our investment portfolio adequately provides for day-to-day and contingent liquidity requirements, earns a reasonable return on invested capital, and increases the Bank’s asset-to-capital ratio. The increase in investments was primarily due to the Bank’s efforts to increase its asset-to-capital ratio.
35
At June 30, 2007, our mortgage loan portfolio declined approximately 4.7 percent to $11.2 billion compared with $11.8 billion at December 31, 2006 due primarily to pay-downs of the existing portfolio exceeding new loan acquisitions. Although the Bank continues to purchase mortgage loans through the MPF program from participating members, the Bank anticipates that, over time, the MPF program will become a smaller portion of the Bank’s assets and income. Therefore, the Bank is analyzing the impact of the decreasing mortgage loan portfolio on the Bank’s business and considering alternatives to the current MPF program such as off balance sheet strategies. Interest income from mortgage loans held for portfolio was $141.6 million and $155.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and $286.8 million and $315.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
On April 26, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a revised schedule for the payment of dividends to Bank members and an exception to the reserve capital policy for the transition dividend. Under the revised schedule, dividends paid will correlate with calendar quarters and the associated earnings. We expect the declaration of dividends to coincide with our quarterly earnings releases approximately 45 days after each quarter end. Prior to April 26, 2007 dividends were paid in March for December, January, and February; June for March, April, and May; September for June, July, and August; and December for September, October, and November. In order to make the transition to the revised dividend schedule, the Bank paid a dividend in May 2007 based on actual earnings for March 2007 and the equivalent of two months’ earnings taken from retained earnings. In accordance with Bank procedures, dividend payments to members are based on the daily average capital stock held by the member for the dividend coverage period. The dividend in May 2007 was based on the daily average capital stock held by members during the month of March. The dividend was paid on May 18, 2007 at an annualized rate of 4.25 percent and amounted to $21.2 million.

Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
Net Income- Net income was relatively flat when comparing the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 to the same periods in 2006. Net income was $23.1 million and $22.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and $43.4 million for the each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
Net interest income increased $0.8 million and $1.5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 when compared with the same periods in 2006 primarily due to the increased interest rate environment. Other income decreased $0.1 million and $2.5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 when compared with the same periods in 2006 primarily due to changes in net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities, which will fluctuate based on the Bank’s hedging activities and changes in interest rates. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2007 the Bank implemented an enhanced valuation methodology for certain long haul method hedge relationships that resulted in recording a loss on derivatives and hedging activities of $1.3 million. Other expense decreased $0.5 million and $1.6 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 when compared with the same periods in 2006 primarily due to decreased professional fees included within operating expenses. See additional discussion for other income on page 44 and other expense on page 45.
Net Interest Income-Net interest income is the primary measure of the performance of our ongoing operations. Fluctuations in average asset, liability, and capital balances, and the related yields and costs are the primary causes of changes in our net interest income.
Average assets increased to $44.8 billion in the first six months of 2007 from $44.4 billion for the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to increased average Federal funds sold and short-term investments, partially offset by decreased average mortgage loans and advances. Average liabilities increased to $42.5 billion in the first six months of 2007 from $42.1 billion for the same period in 2006. The increase was due to increased levels of average deposits and consolidated obligations. Average deposits fluctuate depending on our members’ alternatives for short term investments and average consolidated obligations fluctuate depending on the Bank’s asset balances and funding needs.
37
Average capital decreased $12.0 million in the first six months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in capital stock requirements to support member activities related to mortgage loans and advances.
The following table shows net interest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (dollars in millions):

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Net interest income before and after mortgage loan credit loss provision increased $0.8 and $1.5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared with the same periods in 2006. The increase was primarily due to increased earnings on capital of $1.3 million and $4.1 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 when compared with the same periods in 2006. The increase in earnings on capital was partially offset by decreased asset-liability spread income of $0.5 million and $2.6 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared with the same periods in 2006. See additional discussion below under “Asset-Liability Spread” and “Earnings on Capital”.
The yield on total interest-earning assets and cost of interest-bearing liabilities are impacted by our use of derivatives to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of assets and liabilities.
The two components of the Bank’s net interest income are earnings from our asset-liability spread and earnings on capital.
38
Asset-liability Spread-This spread equals the yield on total assets minus the cost of total liabilities. Asset-liability spread income declined $0.5 million and $2.6 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared with the same periods in 2006. The decline in asset-liability spread income was due to increased yields on our assets and liabilities during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared with the same periods in 2006 which is reflective of the increased interest rate environment. However, the increase in cost on our liabilities increased more than the yield on our assets.
Earnings on Capital-We invest our capital to generate earnings, generally for the same repricing maturity as the assets being supported.
Earnings on capital increased $1.3 million and $4.1 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared with the same periods in 2006 primarily due to higher interest rates. As short- and intermediate-term interest rates have risen, the earnings contribution from capital increased. The increase in earnings on capital was partially offset by decreased average capital balances during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007. Average capital decreased $25.0 million and $12.0 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared with the same periods in 2006 primarily due to a decline in capital stock requirements to support member activities related to mortgage loans.

Our net interest income is affected by changes in the dollar volumes of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in the average rates of those assets and liabilities. The following table presents the changes in interest income and interest expense between the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Changes that cannot be attributed to either rate or volume have been allocated to the rate and volume variances based on relative size (dollars in millions).

Net Interest Income by Segment-The Bank’s segment results are analyzed on an adjusted net interest income basis. Adjusted net interest income is made up of net interest income and interest income and interest expense associated with economic hedges. The following shows the Bank’s financial performance by operating segment and a reconciliation of financial performance to net interest income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (dollars in millions):

Member Finance-Member Finance adjusted net interest income increased $2.3 million and $8.0 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. The increase was attributable to higher returns on invested capital and higher asset-liability spread income due to the increased interest rate environment as well as an increase in the segment’s average assets. The segment’s average assets increased to $29.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with $26.8 billion in the same period of 2006.
Mortgage Finance-The Mortgage Finance segment adjusted net interest income decreased $2.0 million and $6.7 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 when compared with the same periods in 2006. The decrease was attributable to lower asset-liability spread income and earnings on capital. Additionally, the mortgage finance segment’s average asset balanced decreased to $15.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $17.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

The Bank currently expects that the volume of purchases for the MPF program will continue to be at or below the relatively low level that was experienced during 2006. To the extent that new production does not replace current mortgage loan portfolio runoff, we would experience declines in mortgage loan balances which would likely continue to reduce Mortgage Finance’s net interest income. The expected decrease in Mortgage Finance’s net interest income may be partially offset by interest income from the Bank’s mortgage-backed security portfolio.
Other Income
The following table presents the components of other income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (dollars in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | | Six Months Ended | |

Total other income | | $ | 2.6 | | | $ | 2.7 | | | $ | 2.8 | | | $ | 5.3 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Other income can be volatile from period to period depending on the type of financial activity reported. For example, the net gain or loss on derivatives and hedging activities is highly dependent on changes in interest rates.
Other income decreased $0.1 million and $2.5 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared with the same periods in 2006. During the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared with the same period in 2006, the decrease was primarily due to a decrease in other, net driven by the reversal of an over accrued liability during the second quarter of 2006. This was partially offset by an increase in net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities due to changes in interest rates. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with the same period in 2006, the decrease was primarily due to the first quarter 2007 implementation of an enhanced valuation methodology for certain long haul method hedge relationships that resulted in recording a loss on derivatives and hedging activities of $1.3 million. Additionally, the Bank increased its use of economic hedges through interest rate swaptions, caps, and floors to manage interest rate risk in our MPF and MBS portfolios. Economic hedges do not qualify for hedge accounting requiring the Bank to record gains or losses on the hedging instrument without recording the corresponding loss or gain on the hedged item. Additionally, the interest accruals on the hedging instrument are recorded as a component of other income instead of a component of net interest income. The impact of the economic hedge transactions was an increase in hedge losses during the first six months of 2007 compared with the same period in 2006.

Total other expense | | $ | 10.3 | | | $ | 10.8 | | | $ | 20.3 | | | $ | 21.9 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Other expense decreased $0.5 million and $1.6 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 when compared with the same periods in 2006. The decrease was primarily due to other operating expenses. Other operating expenses decreased $1.1 million and $2.2 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared with the same periods in 2006. Approximately $0.9 million and $2.0 million of the decrease related to lower professional fees.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $0.2 million and $0.1 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared with the same periods in 2006. The increases reflect higher expenses due to staff additions and changes, funding our portion of the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan), and increasing market costs associated with salaries and employee benefits.

Mortgage loans decreased approximately $0.5 billion at June 30, 2007 as we purchased $0.2 billion of loans through the MPF programand received principal repayments of $0.7 billion in the first six months of 2007. In the first six months of 2006, we purchased $0.2 billion of loans and received principal repayments of $0.8 billion. The annualized weighted average pay-down rate for mortgage loans in the first six months of 2007 and 2006 was approximately 12 percent.
Members are required to purchase and maintain capital stock to support outstanding mortgage loans. Changes in mortgage loans are accompanied by changes in capital stock, unless the member already owns excess activity-based stock. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, mortgage loan activity stock as a percentage of the mortgage portfolio was 4.38 percent.

Mortgage loans acquired from members have historically been concentrated with Superior. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 we held mortgage loans acquired from Superior amounting to $9.4 billion and $10.0 billion, respectively. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 these loans represented 84 and 85 percent of total mortgage loans at par value. The Bank did not purchase any mortgage loans from Superior during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Investment balances increased approximately 56 percent at June 30, 2007 compared with December 31, 2006. The increase in investments was primarily due to the Bank’s efforts to increase its asset-to-capital ratio. The increase was accomplished through the acquisition of additional Fed funds, commercial paper, and mortgage-backed securities. The annualized weighted average pay-down rate for mortgage-backed securities in the first six months of 2007 was approximately 17 percent compared with approximately 20 percent in the same period of 2006.
The Bank has reviewed its available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investments and has determined that all unrealized losses are temporary based on the creditworthiness of the issuers, underlying collateral, and our intent to hold the securities to maturity. We reviewed our investment strategy to ensure our investment portfolio adequately provides for day-to-day and contingent liquidity requirements, earns a reasonable return on invested capital, and increases the Bank’s asset-to-capital ratio.
Consolidated Obligations
Consolidated obligations, which include discount notes and bonds, are the primary source of funds to support our advances, mortgage loans, and investments. We use derivatives to restructure interest rates on consolidated obligations to better match our funding needs and to reduce funding costs. At June 30, 2007, the book value of consolidated obligations issued on the Bank’s behalf totaled $42.6 billion compared with $37.8 billion at December 31, 2006. The increase in consolidated obligations is consistent with the increase in the Bank’s assets, including investments and advances.

Capital
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, total capital (including capital stock, retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive income) was $2.3 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital positions are actively managed in an effort to preserve stable, reliable, and cost-effective sources of cash to meet current and future normal operating financial commitments, regulatory liquidity and capital requirements, and the possibility of an unforeseen liquidity crisis. To achieve these objectives, we establish liquidity and capital management requirements and maintain liquidity and capital in accordance with Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board) regulations and our own policies. We are not aware of any conditions that will result in unplanned uses of liquidity or capital in the future. Accordingly, we believe our sources of liquidity and capital will cover future liquidity and capital resource requirements.
Liquidity
Sources of Liquidity
The Bank’s primary source of liquidity is proceeds from the issuance of consolidated obligations (discount notes and bonds) in the capital markets. Because of the FHLBanks’ credit quality, efficiency, and standing in the markets, the FHLBanks have historically had ready access to funding.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we received proceeds from the issuance of short-term consolidated discount notes of $322.3 billion and proceeds from the issuance of intermediate- to long-term consolidated bonds of $5.3 billion. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we received proceeds from the issuance of short-term consolidated discount notes of $344.9 billion and proceeds from the issuance of intermediate- to long-term consolidated bonds of $1.7 billion. Short-term consolidated discount note issuances decreased during the first six months of 2007 compared with the same period in 2006 and intermediate- to long-term consolidated obligation issuances increased during the first six months of 2007 compared with the same period in 2006 due to the Bank’s asset/liability management strategy and the Bank’s management of interest rate risk associated with our fixed rate MBS and MPF portfolios. One of the primary measures the Bank uses to manage its portfolio is market value sensitivities. To achieve this objective, the Bank will attempt to minimize the difference in cash flows and durations between our assets and liabilities. Due to increases in interest rates during the year cash flows on our MBS and MPF product are expected to lengthen and as a result the Bank lengthened the cash flows of our liabilities. The corresponding result was a need for increased intermediate- to long-term consolidated obligations to replace shorter term consolidated discount note issuance. The Bank attempts to match funds our assets and therefore, as our assets increase or decrease in duration, the Bank’s consolidated obligations funding those assets will also have shorter or longer-term maturities.
Although we are primarily liable for our portion of consolidated obligations (i.e. those issued on our behalf), we are also jointly and severally liable with the other 11 FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on all consolidated obligations of each of the FHLBanks. The par amounts of outstanding consolidated obligations issued on behalf of other FHLBanks for which the Bank is jointly and severally liable were approximately $927.7 billion and $913.6 billion at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
52
Consolidated obligations of the FHLBanks are rated Aaa/P-1 by Moody’s and AAA/A-1+ by Standard & Poor’s (S&P). These ratings measure the likelihood of timely payment of principal and interest on the consolidated obligations. Our ability to raise funds in the capital markets as well as our cost of borrowing can be affected by these credit ratings.
Other sources of liquidity include cash, short-term investments, payments collected on advances and mortgage loans, fees received on interest rate swaps, proceeds from the issuance of capital stock, member deposits, Federal funds purchased, other FHLBank borrowings, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and current period earnings. Additionally, in the event of significant market disruptions or local disasters, the Bank President or his designee is authorized to establish interim borrowing relationships with other FHLBanks and the Federal Reserve if funds are made available to the FHLBanks during a time of crisis. To provide further access to funding, the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (FHLBank Act) authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase consolidated obligations from all FHLBanks up to an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 billion. This type of funding was not accessed during the six months ended June 30, 2007 or all of 2006.
We had cash and short-term investments with a book value of $8.0 billion at June 30, 2007 compared with $3.8 billion at December 31, 2006. We manage the level of cash and short-term investments according to changes in other asset classes and levels of capital. Additionally, we adjust cash and short-term investments to maintain our targeted asset-to-capital ratio and to manage excess funds.
Uses of Liquidity
Our primary use of liquidity is the repayment of consolidated obligations. In the first six months of 2007, we made payments for maturing short-term consolidated discount notes of $319.0 billion and payments for maturing and retiring intermediate- to long-term consolidated bonds of $3.6 billion. In the first six months of 2006, we made payments for maturing short-term consolidated discount notes of $343.2 billion and payments for maturing and retiring intermediate- to long-term consolidated bonds of $5.4 billion. Changes in payments made on consolidated obligations between the periods presented are proportional to the changes in issuances of consolidated obligations for the same periods.
Other uses of liquidity include issuance of advances, purchases of mortgage loans and investments, repayment of member deposits, redemption or repurchase of capital stock, and payment of dividends.
53
Liquidity Requirements
Regulatory Requirements-Finance Board regulations mandate three liquidity requirements. First, contingent liquidity sufficient to meet our liquidity needs which shall, at a minimum, cover five business days of inability to access the consolidated obligation debt markets. The following table shows our sources of contingent liquidity to support operations for five business days compared to our liquidity needs at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (dollars in billions):

| | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Liquidity needs for five business days | | $ | 2.5 | | | $ | 2.8 | |
| | | | | | |
Second, Finance Board regulations require us to have available at all times an amount greater than or equal to members’ current deposits invested in advances with maturities not to exceed five years, deposits in banks or trust companies, and obligations of the U.S. Treasury. The following table shows our compliance with this regulation at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (dollars in billions):

| | | | | | |
54
Third, Finance Board regulations require us to maintain, in the aggregate, unpledged qualifying assets in an amount at least equal to the amount of our participation in the total consolidated obligations outstanding. The following table shows our compliance with this regulation at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (dollars in billions):
| | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, | | | December 31, | |

| | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Consolidated obligations outstanding | | $ | 42.6 | | | $ | 37.8 | |
| | | | | | |
Operational and Contingent Liquidity-Bank policy requires that we maintain additional liquidity for day-to-day operational and contingency needs. Effective June 1, 2007 the Bank’s required contingent liquidity should not be greater than available assets which include cash, money market, agency, and MBS securities. The Bank will maintain contingent liquidity to meet average overnight and one-week advances, meet the largest projected net cash outflow on any day over a projected 90-day period, and maintain repurchase agreement eligible assets of at least twice the largest projected net cash outflow on any day over a projected 90 day period.
The following table shows our contingent liquidity requirement at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (dollars in billions):
| | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | |
The Bank was in compliance with its contingent liquidity policy at June 30, 2007.
Capital
We had 19.5 million shares of capital stock outstanding at June 30, 2007 compared with 19.1 million shares outstanding at December 31, 2006. We issued 4.0 million shares to members and repurchased 3.6 million shares from members during the first six months of 2007. Approximately 81 percent and 82 percent of our capital stock outstanding at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was activity-based stock that fluctuates primarily with the outstanding balances of advances made to members and mortgage loans.

The Bank’s capital stock balances categorized by type of financial services company, as well as capital stock held by former members, are noted in the following table at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (dollars in millions):

| | | | | | |
Former members own capital stock to support business transactions still carried on the Bank’s statements of condition following their termination from membership. This stock is mandatorily redeemable. See further discussion in “Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock” below.
Our members are required to maintain a certain minimum capital stock investment in the Bank. The minimum investment requirements are designed so that we remain adequately capitalized as member activity changes. To ensure we remain adequately capitalized within ranges established in the capital plan; these requirements may be adjusted upward or downward by the Bank’s Board of Directors. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, approximately 85 and 88 percent of our total capital was capital stock.
Stock owned by members in excess of their minimum investment requirements is known as excess stock. The Bank’s excess capital stock, including amounts classified as mandatorily redeemable capital stock, were $100.1 million and $91.9 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock
Although the mandatorily redeemable capital stock is not included in capital for financial reporting purposes, Finance Board interpretation requires that such outstanding stock be considered capital for determining compliance with our regulatory requirements.
57
At June 30, 2007, we had $69.4 million in capital stock subject to mandatory redemption from 40 members and former members. At December 31, 2006, we had $64.9 million in capital stock subject to mandatory redemption from 34 members and former members. This amount has been classified as mandatorily redeemable capital stock in the statements of condition in accordance with Statement of Financial Account Standards (SFAS) 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. The following table shows the amount of capital stock subject to mandatory redemption by the time period in which we anticipate redeeming the capital stock based on our practices at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (dollars in millions):

| | | | | | |
A majority of the capital stock subject to mandatory redemption at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was due to voluntary termination of membership as a result of a merger or consolidation into a nonmember or into a member of another FHLBank. In addition, during the second quarter of 2005, a member submitted a notice of withdrawal. The balance in mandatorily redeemable capital stock related to this withdrawal was $24.1 million and $11.3 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Subsequent to June 30, 2007, this member rescinded their notice of withdrawal effective July 13, 2007 and we reclassified $24.1 million from mandatorily redeemable capital stock to capital stock. The remainder of mandatorily redeemable capital stock was due to members requesting partial repurchases of excess stock. These partial repurchases amounted to $0.4 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
In April 2007, the Bank’s Board of Directors revised the Bank’s capital plan to change the fee assessed if a member rescinds a redemption or withdrawal notice to zero. This change applies to all previously submitted notices and any future notices of redemption or withdrawal. The reduction of the fee to zero may cause the anticipated redemption schedule noted above for mandatorily redeemable capital stock to change in the future.
58
Capital Requirements
The FHLBank Act requires that the Bank maintain at all times permanent capital greater than or equal to the sum of its credit, market, and operations risk capital requirements, all calculated in accordance with the Finance Board’s regulations. Only permanent capital, defined as Class B stock and retained earnings, can satisfy this risk based capital requirement. The FHLBank Act requires a minimum four percent capital-to-asset ratio, which is defined as total capital divided by total assets. The FHLBank Act also imposes a five percent minimum leverage ratio based on total capital, which is defined as the sum of permanent capital weighted 1.5 times and nonpermanent capital weighted 1.0 times divided by total assets.
For purposes of compliance with the regulatory minimum capital-to-asset and leverage ratios, capital includes all capital stock plus retained earnings. The following table shows the Bank’s compliance with the Finance Board’s capital requirements at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (dollars in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, 2007 | | | December 31, 2006 | |
| | Required | | | Actual | | | Required | | | Actual | |
Regulatory capital requirements: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Risk based capital | | $ | 632 | | | $ | 2,364 | | | $ | 491 | | | $ | 2,315 | |
Total capital-to-asset ratio | | | 4.00 | % | | | 5.00 | % | | | 4.00 | % | | | 5.50 | % |
Total regulatory capital | | $ | 1,876 | | | $ | 2,364 | | | $ | 1,682 | | | $ | 2,315 | |
Leverage ratio | | | 5.00 | % | | | 7.56 | % | | | 5.00 | % | | | 8.26 | % |
Leverage capital | | $ | 2,345 | | | $ | 3,546 | | | $ | 2,102 | | | $ | 3,472 | |
The Bank’s regulatory capital-to-asset ratio at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 would have been 4.83 percent and 5.29 percent if all excess capital stock had been repurchased.
Dividends
We paid cash dividends of $40.7 million during the first six months of 2007 compared to $32.7 million during the same period of 2006. The annualized dividend rate for the first six months of 2007 was 4.25 percent compared with an annualized dividend rate for the first six months of 2006 of 3.40 percent.
The Bank’s reserve capital policy establishes retained earnings minimum balances and identifies specific circumstances where the dividend will either be reduced or the Board of Directors will review the current and future dividend levels. Effective August 24, 2006, our Board of Directors amended the reserve capital policy to include a limitation on the payment of dividends not to exceed income in accordance with GAAP earned in the fiscal period for which the dividend is declared. In connection with the adoption of the Bank’s amended Financial Risk Management policy (FRMP), the Bank’s Board of Director’s is reviewing our reserve capital policy and this limitation may change.
59
The Bank had retained earnings of $346.9 million and $344.2 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. A significant portion of our retained earnings was derived from the acceleration of income related to the loss of hedge accounting and subsequent termination of certain mortgage loan hedging relationships in the fourth quarter of 2005. While the high level of retained earnings puts the Bank in an advantageous position with regard to capital adequacy, the accelerated recognition of what would otherwise have been future income from the mortgage portfolio will result in a decrease in the Bank’s anticipated income in future periods.
On April 26, 2007 the Board of Directors approved a revised schedule for the payment of dividends to Bank members and an exception to the reserve capital policy for the transition dividend. Under the revised schedule, dividends paid will correlate with calendar quarters and the associated earnings. We expect the declaration of dividends to coincide with our quarterly earnings releases approximately 45 days after each quarter end. Prior to April 26, 2007 dividends were paid in March for December, January, and February; June for March, April, and May; September for June, July, and August; and December for September, October, and November. In order to make the transition to the revised dividend schedule, the Bank paid a dividend in May 2007 based on actual earnings for March 2007 and the equivalent of two month’s earnings taken from retained earnings. In accordance with Bank procedures, dividend payments to members are based on the daily average capital stock held by the member for the dividend period. The dividend in May 2007 was based on the daily average capital stock held by members during the month of March. The dividend was paid on May 18, 2007 and amounted to $21.2 million.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
As previously discussed, the Bank implemented an enhanced valuation methodology for certain long haul method hedge relationships. The implementation of this new methodology is a change to our Fair Value Estimates Policy previously disclosed in the Bank’s annual report on Form 10-K. SFAS 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS 137,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — Deferral of Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, SFAS 138,Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, and SFAS 149,Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(herein referred to as SFAS 133) requires that the hedged item be adjusted on at least a quarterly basis to reflect changes in its fair value due to changes in LIBOR (i.e., the hedged risk). SFAS 133 guidance indicates, though does not require, the discount rate used in the calculation to be based on the market interest rate for the hedged item at the inception of the hedging relationship, adjusted up or down, each period for changes in the benchmark interest rate during the period. Prior to first quarter 2007, the Bank used a “proxy” LOAS methodology. Effective first quarter 2007, the Bank enhanced this methodology to value the related hedge item using a market OAS at the inception of the hedge relationship, and recorded a $1.3 million loss on derivatives and hedging activities. The impact of implementing this enhanced valuation methodology is immaterial to the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and all prior periods.
60
Other than disclosed above, the Bank did not implement any material changes to its accounting policies or estimates, nor did the Bank implement any new accounting policies that had a material impact on the Bank’s results of operations or financial condition during the six months ended June 30, 2007. For additional discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the Bank’s annual report on Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
FIN 39-1On April 30, 2007, the Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. FIN 39-1,Amendment of FIN No. 39(FIN 39-1). FIN 39-1 permits an entity to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments and fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral (a receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (a payable) arising from derivative instruments recognized at fair value executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement. Under FIN 39-1, the receivable or payable related to cash collateral may not be offset if the amount recognized does not represent or approximate fair value or arises from instruments in a master netting arrangement that are not eligible to be offset. The decision whether to offset such fair value amounts represents an elective accounting policy decision that once elected, must be applied consistently. FIN 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (January 1, 2008 for the Bank), with earlier application permitted. An entity should recognize the effects of applying FIN 39-1 as a change in accounting principle through retrospective application for all financial statements presented unless it is impracticable to do so. Upon adoption of FIN 39-1, an entity is permitted to change its accounting policy to offset or not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments under master netting arrangements. The Bank has not yet determined the effect that the adoption of FIN 39-1 will have on its financial statements.
Legislative and Regulatory Developments
Finance Board Adopts Final Rule Clarifying Financial Interests of Appointive FHLBank Directors
On June 13, 2007, the Finance Board adopted a final rule clarifying the types of financial interests that an appointive FHLBank director may have with a member of the FHLBank on whose board the director serves. Under this rule, which became effective on July 19, 2007, financial interests in an FHLBank member resulting from ownership of shares of a diversified mutual fund are permissible holdings for an appointive director. The rule also extends the rationale for permitting mutual fund investments to other types of investment vehicles and accounts that share certain key features of mutual funds that make them unlikely to pose a risk of conflict of interest for an appointive director. Finally, the rule sets forth additional criteria to define when owning shares of a holding company of a member, serving as an officer or director of a holding company of a member, or having other types of financial interests in a member, would be permissible for an appointive director.
61
Proposed changes to GSE regulation
Congress may enact legislation that is designed to strengthen the regulation of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the FHLBanks and to address other GSE reform issues.
On May 22, 2007, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1427, the Federal Housing Finance Reform Act of 2007 (HR 1427). HR 1427 would abolish the Finance Board six months after the date of enactment, and would establish a new regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, for the Federal Home Loan Banks, as well as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The new regulator would be headed by a Director appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate for a five year term, and three Deputy Directors. The Deputies would oversee Enterprise Regulation, FHLBank Regulation, and Housing. The new regulator would be an independent agency.
It is impossible to predict whether the Senate will approve the above legislation and whether any such change in regulatory structure will be signed into law. Further, it is impossible to predict when any such change would go into effect if it were to be enacted, and what effect the legislation would ultimately have on the Finance Board or the FHLBanks.
Finance Board adopts a process for appointing public interest directors
On March 27, 2007, the Finance Board adopted a final rule to establish procedures for the selection of appointed directors to the boards of the FHLBanks. Under the new rule, each FHLBank must annually, on or before October 1, submit to the Finance Board up to two candidates for each appointive director seat. Additionally, under the rule, the FHLBanks are responsible for conducting a preliminary assessment of their eligibility and qualifications. The nominations must be accompanied by a completed eligibility form, which demonstrates the qualifications of each nominee to serve on the Board of an FHLBank. The Finance Board will review each nomination and decide whether to appoint directors from the submitted list of nominees. If the Finance Board does not fill all of the appointive directorships from the list submitted by the FHLBank’s Board of Directors, it may require the FHLBank’s Board of Directors to submit a supplemental list.
On April 27, 2007, the Bank submitted to the Finance Board a list of nominees to fill the Bank’s six vacant appointive directorships. On May 14, 2007, the Finance Board appointed Johnny A. Danos to the Bank’s Board of Directors to fill the remainder of the three-year term that began on January 1, 2005; Lorna P. Gleason, John F. Kennedy, Sr., and Paula R. Meyer to the Bank’s Board of Directors, each to fill the remainder of the three-year term that began on January 1, 2006; and Labh S. Hira and John H. Robinson to the Bank’s Board of Directors, each to fill the remainder of the three-year term that began on January 1, 2007. For additional information see the Form 8-K filed on May 16, 2007.

Finance Board Issues Advisory Bulletin on Nontraditional and Subprime Residential Mortgage Loans
On April 12, 2007, the Finance Board issued Advisory Bulletin 2007-AB-01 (Advisory Bulletin) on nontraditional and subprime residential mortgage loans. The Advisory Bulletin provided that by June 30, 2007, each FHLBank’s board of directors should review its existing credit risk management policies and adopt any necessary additional policies related to nontraditional and subprime residential mortgage products. The Advisory Bulletin also states that the Finance Board may require periodic reporting of volumes, policies, procedures and risk management practices related to these types of residential mortgages. Additionally, each FHLBank should require periodic confirmation from each of its members that is subject to federal or state regulatory oversight that the member is complying with nontraditional residential mortgage and subprime mortgage lending guidance. The Bank’s board of directors has completed its review of its existing policies and adopted any necessary additional policies as required by this Advisory Bulletin. In addition, the Bank’s management believes it has limited exposure to sub-prime loans due to its business model, conservative policies pertaining to advances collateral and investments, and low credit risk due to the design of its mortgage loan programs.
Finance Board adopts final rule limiting excess stock
On December 22, 2006, the Finance Board adopted a final rule prohibiting the FHLBanks from issuing new excess stock to their members if the amount of member excess stock exceeds one percent of an FHLBank’s assets. The final rule became effective on January 29, 2007. Under the rule, any FHLBank with excess stock greater than one percent of its total assets will be prevented from further increasing member excess stock by paying stock dividends or otherwise issuing new excess stock. Also included in the final rule is a provision requiring the FHLBanks to declare and pay dividends only from previously retained earnings or current net earnings. The Bank currently does not hold excess stock greater than one percent of total assets, and pays cash, rather than stock dividends. Additionally, it is the Bank’s practice to only declare and pay dividends after net income for each quarterly period has been determined. Accordingly, we do not believe the final rule will have a material impact on the Bank’s results of operations or financial condition. Previously, the Finance Board had issued a proposed rule that would have established minimum levels of retained earnings for the FHLBanks. The Finance Board did not include the Retained Earnings provision in the final rule but stated that it intends to address retained earnings in future rulemaking.

Risk Management
We have risk management policies, established by our Board of Directors, that monitor and control our exposure to market, liquidity, credit, operational, and business risk. Our primary objective is to manage assets, liabilities, and derivative exposures in ways that protect the par redemption value of capital stock from risks, including fluctuations in market interest rates and spreads. Additionally the Bank’s risk management strategies and limits decrease volatility in earnings.
The Bank’s Board of Directors has determined that the Bank should operate under a risk management philosophy of maintaining an AAA rating. An AAA rating provides the Bank with ready access to funds in the capital markets. In order to achieve the above objective, in April 2007, the Bank’s Board of Directors approved an amended FRMP that became effective June 1, 2007. The FRMP reduces the risk profile of the Bank and establishes risk measures and corresponding limits consistent with the philosophy of maintaining an AAA rating. In line with the above objective, the FRMP establishes risk measures, with limits consistent with the maintenance of an AAA rating, to monitor the Bank’s liquidity risk, market risk, and capital adequacy. In addition to the risk methods used to measure and manage risk as disclosed in the Bank’s annual report on Form 10-K, the FRMP replaced prior risk measures with the following risk measures:
| | |
Market Risk: | | Mortgage Portfolio Market Value |
| | Net Market Value of Capital Stock |
Liquidity Risk: | | Contingent Liquidity |
Capital Adequacy: | | Economic Capital Ratio |
Market Risk/Capital Adequacy
We define market risk as the risk that net interest income or net market value of capital stock will change as a result of changes in market conditions such as interest rates, spreads, and volatilities. Interest rate risk was the predominant type of market risk exposure throughout the first six months of 2007 and throughout 2006. Our FRMP is designed to provide an asset and liability management framework to respond to changes in market conditions without creating balance sheet stress and income volatility. Bank management and the Board of Directors routinely reviews both the policy limits and the actual exposures to verify the level of interest rate risk in our balance sheet remains at prudent and reasonable levels.
64
The goal of an interest rate risk management strategy is not necessarily to eliminate interest rate risk, but to manage it by setting and operating within an appropriate framework and limits. The Bank’s general approach toward managing interest rate risk is to acquire and maintain a portfolio of assets, liabilities and hedges, which, taken together, limit the Bank’s expected exposure to market and interest rate risk. Management regularly monitors the Bank’s sensitivity to interest rate changes by monitoring its market risk measures in parallel and non-parallel interest rate shifts. Interest rate exposure is managed by the use of appropriate funding instruments and by employing hedging strategies. Hedging may occur for a single transaction or group of transactions as well as for the overall portfolio. The Bank’s hedge positions are evaluated regularly and are adjusted as deemed necessary by management. The Bank’s key market risk and capital adequacy measures are quantified and disclosed below.
Net Market Value of Capital Stock
Net market value of capital stock, at a moment in time, is defined by the Bank as the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities plus the net present value of derivatives. See the “Net Market Value of Capital Stock” section in the Bank’s annual report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Effective June 1, 2007, the net market value of capital stock should not be lower than the base case by more than $5 per share in the up and down 100 basis points parallel interest rate shift scenarios and by more than $10 per share in the up and down 200 basis points parallel rate shift scenarios.
65
The following tables show our net market value of capital stock and the dollar per share change, based on outstanding shares including shares classified as mandatorily redeemable, from base case assuming instantaneous shifts in interest rates at each quarter-end during 2007 and 2006 (dollars in millions except dollars per share).

The decrease in net market value of capital stock at June 30, 2007 compared with March 31, 2007 was primarily attributable to decreased interest rates, increased option adjusted spreads (OAS) on our mortgage loans, and a decline in spreads on consolidated obligations (tightening). The consolidated obligation spread tightening increased the market value of our liabilities more than assets thereby decreasing net market value of capital stock. This was compounded by a decline in value of mortgage loans due to an increase in mortgage option adjusted spreads. To protect the net market value of capital stock, we use hedging transactions such as entering into or canceling interest rate swaps on existing debt and altering the funding structures of new mortgage purchases. The Bank was in compliance with its net market value of capital stock policy at June 30, 2007.
Capital Adequacy
Under the FRMP, the Bank added an economic capital ratio risk measure. This risk measure ensures we maintain our required capital-to-asset ratio on a market value basis under a wide range of market scenarios. An adequate capital position is necessary for providing safe and sound operations of the Bank and in protecting our AAA credit rating.
Economic capital ratio is defined as market value of equity divided by market value of assets and is required to be greater than four percent in the base case and up and down 200 basis points parallel interest rate shift.
66
The following table shows the economic capital ratio assuming parallel interest rate shifts up and down 200 basis points in 100 basis point increments at each quarter-end during 2007 and 2006.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

March | | | 4.11 | % | | | 4.50 | % | | | 4.51 | % | | | 4.36 | % | | | 4.14 | % |
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Bank increased its asset-to-capital ratio to 20.5 at June 30, 2007 from 19.2 at March 31, 2007. The increase in our asset-to-capital ratio was the result of favorable market conditions causing spreads on investments to increase and spreads on consolidated obligations to decline during the quarter. However, these spread changes during the three months ended June 30, 2007 attributed to an overall decline in the market value of the Bank. The combination of the increased asset-to-capital ratio and decline in market value led to a decline in the economic capital ratio for the base case at June 30, 2007 when compared to March 31, 2007.
The decline in sensitivity for the interest rate shocks is a result of management implementing the FRMP effective June 1, 2007. The Bank was in compliance with its economic capital ratio policy at June 30, 2007.
Derivatives
We enter into derivative agreements to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates. We use derivatives to adjust the effective maturity, repricing frequency, or option characteristics of financial instruments to achieve risk management objectives. We do not use derivatives for speculative purposes.
Our current hedging strategies relate to hedges of existing assets and liabilities that qualify for fair value hedge accounting treatment and economic hedges that are used to reduce market risk at the balance sheet or portfolio level. Economic hedges do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, so only the derivative instrument is marked to market.
67
The notional amount of derivatives reflects the volume of our hedges, but it does not measure the credit exposure of the Bank because there is no principal at risk. The following table categorizes the notional amount of our derivatives at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (dollars in millions):

| | | | | | | | |
Total notional amount | | $ | 34,713 | | | $ | 29,500 | |
| | | | | | |
We record derivatives on the statements of condition at fair value. After netting the fair market values and accrued interest of the derivative instruments by counterparty, we classify positive counterparty balances as derivative assets and negative counterparty balances as derivative liabilities. Derivative assets represent our maximum credit risk to counterparties, and derivative liabilities represent the exposure of counterparties to us. Except for economic hedging relationships, substantially all of the net estimated fair value gains and losses on our derivative contracts are offset by net hedging fair value adjustment losses and gains or other book value adjustments on the related hedged items.
68
The following table categorizes the notional amount and the estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments, excluding accrued interest, by product and type of accounting treatment. The category fair value represents hedges that qualify for fair value hedge accounting. The category economic represents hedge strategies that do not qualify for hedge accounting.

The increase in economic hedges at June 30, 2007 compared with December 31, 2006 was due to the Bank increasing its use of economic hedges through interest rate swaptions, caps, and floors for the reasons described above. Economic hedges are primarily used to manage interest rate risk in our MPF and MBS portfolios. As a result, the Bank enters into interest rate swaptions, caps, and floors to protect against interest rate changes. Economic hedges do not qualify for hedge accounting requiring the Bank to record gains or losses on the hedging instrument without recording the corresponding loss or gain on the hedged item. Additionally, the interest accruals on the hedging instrument are recorded as a component of other income instead of a component of net interest income.

Liquidity Risk
See “Liquidity” beginning on page 52 for additional detail of our liquidity management.
Credit Risk
We define credit risk as the potential that our borrowers or counterparties will fail to meet their obligations in accordance with agreed upon terms. The Bank’s primary credit risks arise from our ongoing lending, investing, and hedging activities. Our overall objective in managing credit risk is to operate a sound credit granting process and to maintain appropriate credit administration, measurement, and monitoring practices.
Advances
We engage in secured lending activities with eligible borrowers. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the collateral pledged to us is insufficient to cover the obligations of a borrower in default.
We manage credit risk by securing borrowings with sufficient collateral acceptable to us, monitoring borrower creditworthiness through internal and independent third-party analysis, and performing collateral review and valuation procedures to verify the sufficiency of pledged collateral. We are required by law to make advances solely on a secured basis and have never experienced a credit loss on an advance since our inception. Based upon the collateral held as security and prior repayment history, we do not believe an allowance for credit losses on advances is necessary at this time.
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, four borrowers had outstanding advances greater than $1.0 billion. These advance holdings represented approximately 28 percent and 27 percent of the total par value of advances outstanding at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. For further discussion on our largest borrowers of advances, see “Advances” on page 46.
We assign discounted values to collateral pledged to the Bank based on its relative risk. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, borrowers reported $47 billion and $45 billion of collateral (net of applicable discount or margin factors) to support $24 billion and $23 billion of advances and other activities with the Bank. Borrowers pledge collateral in excess of their collateral requirement mainly to demonstrate liquidity and to borrow in the future.

The following table shows the dollar and percentage composition (net of applicable discount and margin factors) of collateral pledged to the Bank at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (dollars in billions):

Mortgage Assets
Mortgage asset credit risk is the risk that we will not receive timely payments of principal and interest due from mortgage borrowers because of borrower defaults. Credit risk on mortgage assets is affected by numerous characteristics, including loan type, down-payment amount, borrower’s credit history, and other factors such as home price appreciation. We are exposed to mortgage asset credit risk through our participation in the MPF program and certain investment activities.
We offer a variety of MPF products to meet the differing needs of our members. The Bank allows participating members to select the products they want to use. These products include Original MPF, MPF 100, MPF 125, MPF Plus, and Original MPF FHA/VA. The Bank is permitted by regulation to hold assets acquired from or through members by means of either a purchase or a funding transaction.

The FLA is a memorandum account which is a record-keeping mechanism we use to track the amount of losses for which the Bank could have a potential loss exposure (before the member’s credit enhancement is used to cover losses). The table on page 72 provides information on potential exposure related to the FLA for each MPF product. The FLA is not funded by the Bank or the participating member. Reductions in the amount of base or performance based credit enhancement fees paid to the participating member offset any losses incurred by the Bank, up to the limit of the FLA, except for the Original MPF product. The Bank maintains the FLA for each master commitment. Losses in excess of a participating member’s FLA have been negligible since the inception of the MPF program.
The following table presents activity in the FLA memorandum account for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 (dollars in millions):

PFIs are paid credit enhancement fees as an incentive to minimize credit losses, share in the risk on MPF loans, and pay for supplemental mortgage insurance (SMI). These fees are paid monthly and are determined based on the remaining principal balance of the MPF loans. The amount of the required credit enhancement fee may vary depending on the MPF products selected. Credit enhancement fees are recorded as a reduction to mortgage loan interest income. The Bank also pays performance based credit enhancement fees which are based on actual performance of the mortgage loans. In general, base or performance based fees are net of cumulative unrecovered losses paid by the Bank. To the extent that losses in the current month exceed base or performance based credit enhancement fees accrued, the remaining losses are recovered from future base or performance based credit enhancement fees payable to the member. The Bank recorded credit enhancement fees of $5.3 million and $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and $10.6 million and $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Our liability for credit enhancement fees was $7.8 million and $8.5 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

|
2 | | FICO (register mark) is a widely used credit industry model developed by Fair, Isaac, and Company, Inc. to assess borrower credit quality with scores ranging from a low of 300 to a high of 850. |
We monitor the loan characteristics because they can be strong predictors of credit risk. For example, local economic conditions affect borrowers’ ability to repay loans and the value of the underlying collateral. Geographic diversification helps reduce mortgage credit risk at the portfolio level. Higher FICO (register mark) scores generally indicate a lower risk of default while lower scores can indicate a higher default risk. The likelihood of default and the gross severity of a loss in the event of default are typically lower as loan-to-value ratios decrease.

The allowance for credit losses was $0.3 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The Bank did not have any charge-offs or recoveries during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Bank had $25.1 million and $23.5 million of nonaccrual loans. Interest income that was contractually owed to the Bank but not received on nonaccrual loans was $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Bank’s other assets included $6.1 million and $6.3 million of real estate owned.
In accordance with the Bank’s allowance for credit losses policy, the allowance estimate is based on historical loss experience, current delinquency levels, economic data, and other relevant factors using a pooled loan approach. On a regular basis, we monitor delinquency levels, loss rates, and portfolio characteristics such as geographic concentration, loan-to-value ratios, property types, and loan age. Other relevant factors evaluated in our methodology include changes in national/local economic conditions, changes in the nature of the portfolio, changes in the portfolio performance, and the existence and effect of geographic concentrations. Based upon our evaluation, the Bank determined that an allowance for credit losses of $0.3 million was sufficient to cover projected losses in our MPF portfolio at June 30, 2007. The Bank believes we have minimal exposure to sub-prime loans due to the design of our mortgage loan programs.
As part of the mortgage portfolio, we also invest in mortgage-backed securities. Finance Board regulations allow us to invest in securities guaranteed by the U.S. government, government-sponsored housing enterprises, and other mortgage-backed securities that are rated Aaa by Moody’s, AAA by S&P, or AAA by Fitch on the purchase date. We are exposed to credit risk to the extent that these investments fail to perform adequately. We do ongoing analysis to evaluate the investments and creditworthiness of the issuers, trustees, and servicers for potential credit issues.
At June 30, 2007, we owned $4.8 billion of mortgage-backed securities that were guaranteed by the U.S. government or issued by government-sponsored housing enterprises. In addition, we had $0.1 billion of other mortgage-backed securities that were rated AAA by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). At December 31, 2006, we owned $4.2 billion of mortgage-backed securities that were guaranteed by the U.S. government or issued by government-sponsored housing enterprises. In addition, we had $0.1 billion of other mortgage-backed securities that were rated AAA by an NRSRO. We have participated in the MPF Shared Funding Program that has periodically created mortgage-backed certificates.
77
The Bank also invests in state housing finance agency bonds. At June 30, 2007, we had $4.7 million of state agency bonds rated AA or higher compared with $4.9 million at December 31, 2006.
Investments
We maintain an investment portfolio to provide liquidity and promote asset diversification. Finance Board regulations and policies adopted by the Board of Directors limit the type of investments we may purchase.
The largest unsecured exposure to any single short-term counterparty excluding government-sponsored enterprises was $325 million at June 30, 2007 and $298 million at December 31, 2006. The following tables show our unsecured credit exposure to investment counterparties (including accrued interest receivable) at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (dollars in millions):

Derivatives
Most of our hedging strategies use over-the-counter derivative instruments that expose us to counterparty credit risk because the transactions are executed and settled between two parties. When an over-the-counter derivative has a market value above zero, the counterparty owes that value to the Bank over the remaining life of the derivative. Credit risk arises from the possibility the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its commitment to pay the amount owed to us.
Excluding mortgage delivery commitments that were fully collateralized, we had 25 and 26 active derivative counterparties at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, most of which were large highly rated banks and broker-dealers. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, five counterparties represented approximately 56 percent and 57 percent, respectively, of the total notional amount of outstanding derivative transactions, and all five had a credit rating of A or better. At June 30, 2007, one counterparty with an AA credit rating, HSBC Bank USA, N.A Services, represented $12.7 million or approximately 27 percent of our net derivatives exposure after collateral. At December 31, 2006, one counterparty with an AA credit rating, HSBC Bank USA, N.A., represented $9.7 million or approximately 27 percent of our net derivatives exposure after collateral. In addition, we had mortgage delivery commitment derivatives with notional amounts of $24.8 million at June 30, 2007 compared with $15.7 million at December 31, 2006, which were fully collateralized. Participating members are assessed a fee for failing to fulfill their mortgage delivery commitments.

Operational Risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, systems, or external events. Operational risk is inherent in all of our business activities and processes. Management has established policies and procedures to reduce the likelihood of operational risk and designed our annual risk assessment process to provide ongoing identification, measurement, and monitoring of operational risk. For additional information related to operational risk, see “Operational Risk” in the Bank’s annual report on Form 10-K.
80
Business Risk
Business risk is the risk of an adverse impact on the Bank’s profitability resulting from external factors that may occur in both the short- and long-term. Business risk includes political, strategic, reputation, regulatory, and/or environmental factors, many of which are beyond our control. We control business risk through strategic and annual business plans and monitoring the Bank’s external environment.

See “Market Risk” beginning on page 64 and the sections referenced therein for Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Not applicable.
Item 4T. 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 it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 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 Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Bank’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, 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 should consider applying its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of controls and procedures.
81
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 (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), at June 30, 2007. Based upon that evaluation, the President and CEO and CFO have concluded that the Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-13(e) and 15d-15(e), were not effective at June 30, 2007. This determination is based on management’s identification of the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
| • | | The Bank did not maintain effective controls over its use of spreadsheets used in the financial close and reporting process. Specifically, the Bank did not have effective controls in place to monitor and ensure that spreadsheet formula logic was adequately tested and analyzed in order to provide accurate and complete spreadsheet calculations. This control deficiency could result in a misstatement of any of our financial statement accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. |
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The Bank has taken and is planning on taking certain remedial actions to address this material weakness as described in “Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting” and “Plan of Remediation for Identified Material Weakness” herein.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Bank’s management implemented and enhanced certain controls and procedures affecting its internal control over financial reporting as they relate to the material weakness identified in “Disclosure Controls and Procedures” above. Specifically, the Bank’s management instituted the following material changes in our internal control over financial reporting:
• | | the Bank continued to make progress on a spreadsheet certification process that documents and tests the control environment residing with spreadsheets involved in the financial reporting process. |
|
• | | the Bank continued to make progress on the development of IT software programs that will replace complex spreadsheets. |
|
• | | the Bank revised its User-Developed Applications Policy to include implementation of a process that identifies and adds mitigating controls around certain spreadsheets involved in the financial reporting process. |
82
Plan of Remediation for Identified Material Weakness
The Bank plans on continuing to initiate the following actions in conjunction with its remediation efforts specific to the remaining material weakness identified above.
• | | Update our risk assessment documents to identify controls that mitigate or compensate the internal control risks, such as review for spreadsheet changes, review of reasonableness of spreadsheet inputs and outputs from a materiality perspective, additional reperformance and reconciliation processes, and overall analytical review. These mitigating or compensating controls are currently being identified and documented. |
|
• | | Test the operating effectiveness of selected spreadsheet controls. |
|
• | | Continue to develop IT software programs to replace complex spreadsheets as a long-term solution. |
|
• | | Complete full implementation of the software solution that provides an audit trail of all changes to spreadsheets utilized in the financial reporting process. |
These planned remedial actions reflect the ongoing remediation efforts the Bank has instituted in response to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting identified within “Disclosure Controls and Procedures” above. Additional remediation efforts may be put in place as management continues to assess our internal control over financial reporting as it relates to spreadsheet controls.
