Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited, $ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying interim financial statements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the instructions promulgated by the SEC, for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in our 2013 Form 10-K.
The financial statements contain all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.
Our significant accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2013 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these policies through September 30, 2014.
We use certain acronyms and terms throughout these financial statements, which are defined in the Glossary of Terms. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us," and "our" refer to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis or its management.
Reclassifications. We have reclassified certain amounts from the prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on Net Income, Total Comprehensive Income, Total Capital, or net Cash Flows.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make subjective assumptions and estimates that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expense. Although the reported amounts and disclosures reflect our best estimates, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
Financial Instruments Meeting Netting Requirements. We present certain financial instruments, including derivative instruments and securities purchased under agreements to resell, on a net basis when we have a legal right of offset and all other requirements for netting are met (collectively referred to as the netting requirements). For these financial instruments, we have elected to offset our derivative asset and liability positions, as well as cash collateral received or pledged, when we have met the netting requirements. We did not have any offsetting liabilities related to securities purchased under agreements to resell at September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.
Note 2 - Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance
Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued guidance about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. This guidance requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued or within one year after the financial statements are available to be issued, when applicable. Substantial doubt exists if it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations for the assessed period. This guidance becomes effective for the interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. This guidance is not expected to affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. On August 8, 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance relating to the classification and measurement of certain government-guaranteed mortgage loans upon foreclosure. The amendments in this guidance require that a mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if certain conditions are met. This guidance becomes effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and may be adopted using either the modified retrospective transition method or the prospective transition method. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance, but its effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is not expected to be material.
Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. On June 12, 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as repurchase financings. This amendment requires entities to account for repurchase-to-maturity transactions as secured borrowings rather than as sales with forward repurchase agreements. In addition, this guidance requires additional disclosures, particularly on transfers accounted for as sales that are economically similar to repurchase agreements and on the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings. This guidance becomes effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, and early adoption is prohibited. The changes in accounting for transactions outstanding on the effective date are required to be presented as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance, but its effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is not expected to be material.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers. On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. This guidance outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry specific guidance. In addition, this guidance amends the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer. This guidance applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other standards, such as financial instruments, certain guarantees, insurance contracts, or lease contracts. This guidance becomes effective for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early application is not permitted. The guidance provides entities with the option of using either of the following two methods upon adoption: (i) a full retrospective method, retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented; or (ii) a transition method, retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this guidance recognized at the date of initial application. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance, but its effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is not expected to be material.
Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. On January 17, 2014, the FASB issued guidance clarifying when consumer mortgage loans collateralized by real estate should be reclassified to REO. Specifically, such collateralized mortgage loans should be reclassified to REO when either the creditor obtains legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure, or the borrower conveys all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and may be adopted under either the modified retrospective transition method or the prospective transition method. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance, but its effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is not expected to be material.

Advisory Bulletin 2012-02. On April 9, 2012, the Finance Agency issued Advisory Bulletin 2012-02, Framework for Adversely Classifying Loans, Other Real Estate Owned, and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention ("AB-2012-02"). The guidance establishes a standard and uniform methodology for adversely classifying certain assets other than investment securities and prescribes the timing of asset charge-offs based on these classifications. Such accounting guidance differs from our current methodology and accounting policy, particularly in that, among other differences, AB 2012-02 states that, with certain exceptions, any loss exposure on a loan more than 180 days past due should be adversely classified and charged off. The Finance Agency has stated that, when a loan is 180 days delinquent, their review of the data indicates that, under most circumstances, the likelihood of full repayment is remote. The charge-off amount is generally the excess of the loan balance over the fair value of the underlying property, less costs to sell, and adjusted for credit enhancements. AB-2012-02 states that it was effective upon issuance. However, the Finance Agency issued additional guidance that extended the effective date for classification purposes to January 1, 2014 and the effective date for financial reporting purposes to January 1, 2015. We implemented the classification methodology effective January 1, 2014, which did not have an effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. We do not expect the implementation of the financial reporting guidance, effective January 1, 2015, to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Realized Gains and Losses. There were no sales of AFS securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. However, on April 4, 2013, we sold six OTTI AFS securities, only one of which was in an unrealized loss position. Prior to the sale, we recorded an OTTI credit charge for this security, representing the entire difference between our amortized cost basis and its estimated fair value, which resulted in no gross realized losses from this sale.

Note 5 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment
OTTI Evaluation Process and Results - Private-label RMBS and ABS. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate for OTTI our individual AFS and HTM securities that have been previously OTTI or are in an unrealized loss position. A description of the OTTI evaluation process, uniform framework, and the two third-party models we utilize is disclosed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 6 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment in our 2013 Form 10-K.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded an OTTI credit charge of $1,924, representing the entire difference between our amortized cost basis and the estimated fair value, on one security for which we changed our previous intention to hold until recovery of its amortized cost. We did not have any such change in intent during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2014 or the three months ended September 30, 2013.
As a result of our analysis, additional OTTI credit losses were recognized for one security for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 but not for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013. We determined that the unrealized losses on the remaining private-label RMBS and ABS were temporary as we expect to recover the entire amortized cost.
OTTI - Significant Modeling Assumptions. The FHLBanks' OTTI Governance Committee developed a short-term housing price forecast with projected changes ranging from a decrease of 3% to an increase of 9% over a twelve-month period. For the vast majority of housing markets, the changes range from 0% to an increase of 6%. Thereafter, a unique path is projected for each geographic area based on an internally developed framework derived from historical data.
The following table presents the other significant modeling assumptions used to determine the amount of credit loss recognized in earnings for the one security that was determined to be OTTI during the three months ended September 30, 2014. The related current credit enhancement is also presented. Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches, excess spread, and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before we will experience a loss on the security. A credit enhancement percentage of zero reflects a security that has no remaining credit support and is likely to have experienced an actual principal loss. The calculated averages represent the dollar-weighted averages of the private-label RMBS in each category shown. The classification (prime, Alt-A or subprime) is based on the model used to estimate the cash flows for the security, which may not be the same as the classification by the rating agency at the time of origination.

The following table presents the classification and balances at September 30, 2014 of OTTI securities impaired prior to that date (i.e., life-to-date) but not necessarily as of that date. Securities are classified based on the originator's classification at the time of origination or based on the classification by the NRSROs upon issuance. Because there is no universally accepted definition of prime, Alt-A or subprime underwriting standards, such classifications are subjective.

For other U.S. obligations, GSE obligations, and TVA debentures, we determined that, based on current expectations, the strength of the issuers' guarantees through direct obligations of, or support from, the United States government is sufficient to protect us from any losses. As a result, all of the gross unrealized losses as of September 30, 2014 are considered temporary.

For information related to our credit risk on mortgage loans and allowance for loan losses, see Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses.
Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses
We have established a methodology to determine the allowance for credit losses for each of our portfolio segments: credit products (Advances, letters of credit, and other extensions of credit to members); term securities purchased under agreements to resell; term federal funds sold; government-guaranteed or insured Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio; and conventional Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio. A description of the allowance methodologies for our portfolio segments as well as our policy for impairing financing receivables, placing them on non-accrual status, and charging them off when necessary is disclosed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 9 - Allowance for Credit Losses in our 2013 Form 10-K.
Notes to Financial Statements, continued
(Unaudited, $ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)
Credit Products. Using a risk-based approach, we consider the amount and quality of the collateral pledged and the borrower's financial condition to be indicators of credit quality on the borrower's credit products. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had rights to collateral on a borrower-by-borrower basis with an estimated value in excess of our outstanding extensions of credit.
At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we did not have any credit products that were past due, on non-accrual status, or considered impaired. In addition, there were no troubled debt restructurings related to credit products during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
Based upon the collateral held as security, our credit extension and collateral policies, our credit analysis and the repayment history on credit products, we have not recorded any allowance for credit losses on credit products. Accordingly, at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no liability was recorded to reflect an allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures. For additional information about off-balance sheet credit exposure, see Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies.

MPF Credit Enhancements. CE Fees paid to PFIs were $99 and $90 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $302 and $207 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Performance-based CE fees may be withheld to cover losses allocated to us.
If losses occur in a master commitment, these losses will either be: (i) recovered through the withholding of future performance-based CE Fees from the PFI or (ii) absorbed by us in the FLA. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our exposure under the FLA was $3,420 and $3,338, respectively, with CE Obligations available to cover losses in excess of the FLA totaling $26,851 and $26,284, respectively. Any estimated losses that would be absorbed by the CE Obligation are not reserved for as part of our allowance for loan losses. Accordingly, the calculated allowance was reduced by $11 and $142 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, for the amount in excess of the FLA to be covered by PFIs’ CE Obligations. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the resulting allowance for MPF loan losses was $250 and $500, respectively.

(1) | Includes loans for which the decision of foreclosure or similar alternative, such as pursuit of deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, has been reported. Loans in process of foreclosure are included in past due categories depending on their delinquency status. |
(2) | Represents loans 90 days or more past due (including loans in process of foreclosure) expressed as a percentage of the total recorded investment in mortgage loans. The percentage excludes principal amounts that were previously paid in full by the servicers on conventional loans that are pending resolution of potential loss claims. Many FHA loans are repurchased by the servicers when they reach 90 days or more delinquent status, similar to the rules for servicers of Ginnie Mae MBS, resulting in the lower serious delinquency rate for FHA loans. |

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, certain conventional MPP loans classified as TDRs within the previous 12 months experienced a payment default. A borrower is considered to have defaulted on a TDR if the borrower's contractually due principal or interest is 60 days or more past due at any time. The recorded investment of certain conventional MPP loans classified as TDRs within the previous 12 months that experienced a payment default was $0 and $366 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $0 and $911 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For purposes of this disclosure, only the initial default was included; however, a loan can experience another payment default in a subsequent period.

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

Managing Credit Risk on Derivatives. We are subject to credit risk due to the risk of nonperformance by the counterparties to our derivative transactions.
For our bilateral derivatives, we have credit support agreements that contain provisions requiring us to post additional collateral with our counterparties if there is deterioration in our credit rating. If our credit rating is lowered by an NRSRO, we could be required to deliver additional collateral on bilateral derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate estimated fair value of all bilateral derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position (before cash collateral and related accrued interest on cash collateral) at September 30, 2014 was $283,752 for which we have posted collateral, including accrued interest, with an estimated fair value of $191,855 in the normal course of business. In addition, we held other bilateral derivative instruments in a net liability position of $86 that are not subject to credit support agreements containing credit risk-related contingent features. If our credit rating had been lowered by an NRSRO (from an S&P equivalent of AA+ to AA), we could have been required to deliver up to an additional $858 of collateral (at estimated fair value) to our bilateral derivative counterparties at September 30, 2014.
For cleared derivatives, the Clearinghouse determines initial margin requirements, and generally credit ratings are not factored into the initial margin. However, clearing agents may require additional initial margin to be posted based on credit considerations, including, but not limited to, credit rating downgrades. We were not required to post additional initial margin by our clearing agents at September 30, 2014.

Excess Capital Stock. Excess capital stock is defined as the amount of stock held by a member or former member in excess of that institution's stock requirement. Finance Agency rules limit the ability of an FHLBank to create member excess stock under certain circumstances, including when its total excess stock exceeds 1% of Total Assets or if the issuance of excess stock would cause total excess stock to exceed 1% of Total Assets. Our excess stock totaled $593,088 at September 30, 2014, which was 1.4% of our Total Assets. Therefore, we are currently not permitted to issue new excess stock to members or distribute stock dividends.

Note 15 - Estimated Fair Values
We review the fair value hierarchy classifications of our financial instruments on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the inputs may result in a reclassification of certain assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in/out at estimated fair value as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occur. As described below, we reclassified six AFS securities from Level 3 to Level 2 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. There were no such reclassifications during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2014 or the three months ended September 30, 2013.
The following tables present the carrying value and estimated fair value of each of our financial instruments. The total of the estimated fair values does not represent an estimate of our overall market value as a going concern, which would take into account future business opportunities and the net profitability of assets and liabilities, among other considerations.

Summary of Valuation Techniques and Significant Inputs. A description of the valuation techniques, significant inputs, and levels of fair value hierarchy is disclosed in Note 20 - Estimated Fair Values in our 2013 Form 10-K. No changes have been made in the current year, except as disclosed below.
Real Estate Owned. The fair value of REO is estimated on a non-recurring basis using a current property value from an NRSRO model adjusted for estimated selling costs and expected PMI proceeds. We had no REO outstanding at September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.
AFS and HTM Securities - non-MBS. Beginning in the third quarter of 2014, the estimated fair value incorporates prices from up to four designated third-party pricing vendors and follows the same process we use for AFS and HTM Securities - MBS as disclosed in Note 20 - Estimated Fair Values in our 2013 Form 10-K. We previously used market-observable price quotes from third-party pricing vendors, such as the Composite Bloomberg Bond Trade screen. This change did not have a significant impact on the estimated fair values of these securities as of September 30, 2014.

Level 3 Disclosures for All Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis. The table below presents a rollforward of our AFS private-label RMBS measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 significant inputs. The estimated fair values for the private-label RMBS were determined using a pricing source, such as a dealer quote or comparable security price, for which the significant unobservable inputs used to determine the price were not reasonably available.

Legal Proceedings. We are subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of these proceedings will have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
In 2010, we filed a complaint asserting claims against several entities for negligent misrepresentation and violations of state and federal securities law occurring in connection with the sale of private-label RMBS to us. In 2013 and 2014, we executed confidential settlement agreements with certain defendants in this litigation, pursuant to which we have dismissed pending claims against, and provided legal releases to, certain entities with respect to applicable securities at issue in the litigation, in consideration of our receipt of cash payments on behalf of those defendants. These payments, including distributions relating to two settlements reached in 2013, totaled $5,532 and $14,080, net of legal fees and litigation expenses, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and were recorded in Other Income. No such payments were received during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Executive Summary
Overview. We are a regional wholesale bank that makes Advances to our member financial institutions; purchases whole mortgages from our member financial institutions and participation interests in mortgage loans from other FHLBanks; purchases other investments; and provides other financial services to our member financial institutions. Our member financial institutions may consist of federally-insured depository institutions (including commercial banks, thrifts, and credit unions), insurance companies and community development financial institutions, which are chartered in or have a place of business in our district states of Indiana or Michigan. All member financial institutions are required to purchase shares of our Class B Capital Stock as a condition of membership.
Our public policy mission is to facilitate and expand the availability of financing for housing and community development. We seek to achieve our mission by providing products and services to our members in a safe, sound, and profitable manner, and by generating a reasonable, risk-adjusted return on their capital investment. See Item 1. Business - Background Information in our 2013 Form 10-K for more information.
We group our products and services within two business segments:
• | Traditional, which consists of (i) credit products (including Advances, letters of credit, and lines of credit), (ii) investments (including Federal Funds Sold, Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell, AFS securities and HTM securities) and (iii) correspondent services and deposits; and |
• | Mortgage Loans, which consist of (i) mortgage loans purchased from our members through our MPP and (ii) participation interests purchased from the FHLBank of Topeka in mortgage loans originated by its members under the MPF Program. |
Our principal source of funding is the proceeds from the sale to the public of FHLBank debt instruments, called Consolidated Obligations, which consist of CO Bonds and Discount Notes and are the joint and several obligation of all 12 FHLBanks. We obtain additional funds from deposits, other borrowings, and the sale of capital stock to our members.
Our primary source of revenue is interest earned on Advances, mortgage loans, and long- and short-term investments.
Our Net Interest Income is primarily determined by the interest-rate spread between the interest rate earned on our assets and the interest rate paid on our share of the Consolidated Obligations. We use funding and hedging strategies to manage the related interest-rate risk.
Economic Conditions. Our financial condition and results of operations are influenced by the general state of the global and national economies; the conditions in the financial, credit and mortgage markets; the prevailing level of interest rates; and the economies in our district states and their impact on our member financial institutions.
Global Economy. According to a report issued by S&P on March 19, 2014, risks in the global banking sectors have sharpened in 2014 and are likely to weigh on financial institutions in a number of ways. Going forward, S&P considers three particular risks to financial institutions' outlook to be: (i) changing monetary policy and its effects on the economy and financial markets, (ii) the impact of regulatory reforms on business models and risk-taking, and (iii) the potential reduction or removal of government support in some jurisdictions.
On September 8, 2014, S&P issued a report on unfinished business in the global economy. Although S&P expects the global economic expansion to continue and to gain a firmer footing, there are several areas of unfinished business, which represent challenge and risk. These areas include: (i) major developed world economies have yet to return to full operating capacity and full employment, (ii) major central banks are still operating deep in unconventional monetary policy territory, but a parting of the ways between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England on one hand, and the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan on the other, lies ahead, (iii) governments face a delicate fiscal balancing act, wanting to consolidate their crisis-damaged fiscal finances but not wanting to impede recovery, (iv) Eurozone-area policymakers put a lid on the crisis by putting fiscal and monetary backstops in place and are moving down a path of greater integration, but the region remains a half-built economic and political house, (v) Japan's bold monetary policy switch underpins its two-stage plan to double the consumption tax by October 2015, but whether the monetary accelerator and fiscal brakes together can end a secular deflation remains to be seen, and (vi) China faces a delicate balancing act: how to reform the economic system to provide the incentives for rebalancing growth without losing control of and destabilizing the economy.
United States Economy. On August 11, 2014, Moody's issued a report that forecasted United States gross domestic product growth to be 2% in 2014, accelerating to 3% in 2015. However, Moody's stated that it could be overestimating the economy's medium-term potential given the lackluster growth the economy has recorded on average in the last few years despite a number of favorable conditions in place for some time. Medium-term growth that comes in below expectations would likely trigger a gradual reassessment by investors of potential returns on United States assets, but is unlikely to lead to a global growth-destabilizing correction in financial markets.
On October 29, 2014, the FOMC reported that information received since the FOMC met in September suggests that economic activity is expanding at a moderate pace. Labor market conditions improved somewhat further, with solid job gains and a lower unemployment rate. On balance, a range of labor market indicators suggests that underutilization of labor resources is gradually diminishing. Household spending is rising moderately and business fixed investment is advancing, while the recovery in the housing sector remains slow. Inflation has continued to run below the FOMC's longer-run objective.
The FOMC expects that, with appropriate policy accommodation, economic activity will continue to expand at a moderate pace, with labor market indicators and inflation moving toward maximum employment and inflation of 2%. The FOMC reaffirmed its view that the current 0 to 0.25% target range for the federal funds rate remains appropriate. The FOMC anticipates, based on its current assessment, that it likely will be appropriate to maintain the 0 to 0.25% target range for the federal funds rate for a considerable time following the end of its asset purchase program this month, especially if projected inflation continues to run below the FOMC's 2% longer-run goal, and provided that longer-term inflation expectations remain well anchored.
Indiana and Michigan Economies. In its August 2014 forecast, the Center for Econometric Research at Indiana University indicated that, so far in 2014, personal income growth in Indiana has lagged while payroll employment growth has matched the national rate. Although personal income growth fell sharply behind the nation in the first quarter of 2014, a significant rebound was expected for the second quarter of 2014, followed by steady growth through the remainder of 2014. The Indiana unemployment rate has fallen during the first six months of 2014 and is expected to continue to fall, reaching 5.5% at the end of 2014 and 4.8% by the end of 2017.
On October 10, 2014, the Research Seminar in Quantitative Economics at the University of Michigan predicted solid job growth in Michigan in the third quarter of 2014, with an expected pace of 1.4% in the last quarter of 2014 and the first half of 2015 and 1.6% in the second half of 2015. Personal income growth is expected to be 4.3% in 2014 and 4.7% in 2015.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that Michigan's preliminary unemployment rate was 7.2% for September 2014, while Indiana's preliminary rate was 5.7%, compared to the national rate of 5.9%. According to information provided by Black Knight Financial Services for August, Indiana had a non-current mortgage rate (loans past due 30 days or more) of 9.5%, and Michigan had a non-current mortgage rate of 6.8%, compared to the national rate of 7.7%.
The Capital Markets. The Office of Finance, our fiscal agent, issues debt in the global capital markets on behalf of the FHLBanks. Our funding operations are dependent on the issuance of such debt, which is affected by events in the capital markets.
During the first nine months of 2014, United States Treasury rates fluctuated within a tight range and volatility was generally low, resulting in a fairly stable environment for debt issuance. Despite continued tapering of asset purchases by the Federal Reserve Board, interest rates have yet to increase significantly as geopolitical events in the Ukraine and the Middle East have driven demand for United States Treasuries. Also, the European Central Bank announced more sweeping monetary policy reforms to help support many struggling European economies.
On October 29, 2014, the FOMC announced that there has been a substantial improvement in the outlook for the labor market since the inception of its current asset purchase program. Moreover, the FOMC continues to see sufficient underlying strength in the broader economy to support ongoing progress toward maximum employment in a context of price stability. Accordingly, the FOMC decided to conclude its asset purchase program. The FOMC is maintaining its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments from its holdings of agency debt and agency MBS in agency MBS and of rolling over maturing United States Treasury securities at auction. This policy, by keeping the FOMC's holdings of longer-term securities at sizable levels, should help maintain accommodative financial conditions.

The increase in Net Income for the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to higher Other Income and lower Other Expenses, partially offset by lower Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses. The net increase in Other Income resulted from proceeds from a litigation settlement related to certain private-label RMBS. The net decrease in Other Expenses was primarily due to the accelerated amortization of pension benefits in 2013 from AOCI to Other Expenses as a result of the retirement of our former President - Chief Executive Officer. The net decrease in Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses was primarily due to narrower net interest spreads.
The decrease in Net Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to lower Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses and the net realized gain on the sale of private-label RMBS in 2013, partially offset by proceeds from litigation settlements related to certain private-label RMBS in 2014. The net decrease in Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses was primarily due to narrower net interest spreads.
The decrease in Total Other Comprehensive Income for the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to the accelerated amortization of pension benefits in 2013, partially offset by increases in unrealized gains on AFS securities.
The increase in Total Other Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to a reclassification of net realized gains from the sale of AFS securities to Other Income in 2013, partially offset by the accelerated amortization of pension benefits in 2013.

The increase in Total Liabilities at September 30, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013 was primarily due to a net increase in Consolidated Obligations that was attributable to our higher funding needs.
The increase in Total Capital consisted of net increases in Capital Stock and Retained Earnings and a favorable change in AOCI.
Analysis of Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
Net Interest Income. Net Interest Income, which is primarily the interest income on Advances, Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio, short-term investments, and investment securities less the interest expense on Consolidated Obligations and Interest-Bearing Deposits, is our primary source of earnings.
The decrease in Net Interest Income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to narrower net interest spreads on Advances and Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio. Events in the capital and housing markets in the last several years created opportunities for us to generate spreads well above historical levels on certain types of transactions. Despite low costs for our Consolidated Obligations, our net interest spreads have narrowed due to the maturities of assets that were purchased at wider spreads and the diminishing frequency and level of higher-spread investment opportunities due to changes in market conditions.
The decreases in Net Interest Income were partially offset by MBS prepayments and a decrease in interest expense on MRCS, primarily due to repurchases of excess stock during 2013 that resulted in a lower average balance of MRCS for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
The decrease in Net Interest Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to narrower net interest spreads on all of our interest-earning assets and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in Prepayment Fees on Advances.
The decreases in Net Interest Income were partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on MRCS, primarily due to repurchases of excess stock during 2013 that resulted in a lower average balance of MRCS for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Provision for (Reversal of) Credit Losses. The change in the Provision for (Reversal of) Credit Losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to a lower reversal of the portion of the allowance for loan losses on Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio pertaining to potentially unrecoverable amounts from PMI and SMI providers. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses for more information.

The increase in Other Income (Loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to proceeds from a litigation settlement related to certain private-label RMBS.
The decrease in Other Income (Loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to a net realized gain from the sale of private-label RMBS in 2013 and lower net gains on derivatives and hedging activities, partially offset by proceeds from litigation settlements related to certain private-label RMBS in 2014.
Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities. Our Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities fluctuate due to volatility in the overall interest rate environment as we hedge our asset or liability risk exposures. In general, we hold derivatives and associated hedged items to the maturity, call, or put date. Therefore, due to timing, nearly all of the cumulative net gains and losses for these financial instruments will reverse over the remaining contractual terms of the hedged item. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities for more information.
The favorable change in Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to unrealized net gains related to fair value hedge ineffectiveness, partially offset by lower net gains on derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting.
The unfavorable change in Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to unrealized net losses related to fair value hedge ineffectiveness, partially offset by higher net gains on derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting.
Our Net Interest Income and Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities are affected by the inclusion or exclusion of the net interest income/expense associated with derivatives. For example, if a derivative qualifies for fair-value hedge accounting, the net interest income/expense associated with the derivative is included in Net Interest Income along with the net interest income/expense on the hedged item. If a derivative does not qualify for fair-value hedge accounting or if we have not designated it in such a qualifying hedge relationship, the net interest income/expense associated with the derivative is recorded in Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities.
Certain derivatives have failed hedge effectiveness at either trade date or a subsequent valuation date. As a result, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, net interest income of $3.0 million and $8.4 million, respectively, was recorded in Other Income (Loss) instead of Net Interest Income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, net interest income and net interest expense of $0.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively, was recorded in Other Income (Loss) instead of Net Interest Income.
We continue to carry these derivatives that have failed effectiveness at their estimated fair values and recognize the net interest settlements and changes in the estimated fair value in Other Income (Loss) with no offsetting estimated fair value adjustments for the hedged items. The change in estimated fair value of these derivatives for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was a loss of $1.9 million and a gain of $3.9 million, respectively, compared to a gain of $48 thousand and $5.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. In addition, when hedge accounting is discontinued, we cease adjusting the hedged item's basis for changes in estimated fair value and begin amortizing/accreting the frozen basis adjustment such that the yield on the instrument remains constant (or level). This amortization/accretion is included in Net Interest Income. As a result, the related amortization of the frozen basis adjustments for these discontinued hedges decreased Net Interest Income by $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The related amortization increased Net Interest Income by $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, and decreased Net Interest Income by $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
The overall impact of the discontinuance of hedge accounting on Net Income was unfavorable for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and favorable for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Other. The increase was due to proceeds from litigation settlements, net of legal fees and litigation expenses, related to certain private-label RMBS in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $5.5 million and $14.1 million, respectively. In 2010, we filed a complaint, asserting claims against several entities for negligent misrepresentation and violations of state and federal securities law occurring in connection with the sale of private-label RMBS to us. We executed confidential settlement agreements with certain defendants in this litigation, pursuant to which we have dismissed pending claims against, and provided legal releases to, certain entities with respect to applicable securities at issue in the litigation, in consideration of our receipt of cash payments on behalf of those defendants. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies and Part II. Other Information - Item 1. Legal Proceedings for additional information.

The decreases in Other Expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were primarily due to the accelerated amortization of $5.1 million of pension benefits in 2013 from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to Other Expenses as a result of the retirement of our former President - Chief Executive Officer.
Total Other Comprehensive Income. Total Other Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $10.2 million and $35.7 million, respectively, compared to $11.0 million and $25.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.
Total Other Comprehensive Income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 consisted primarily of net unrealized gains on AFS securities. Total Other Comprehensive Income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 consisted primarily of accelerated amortization of pension benefits and unrealized gains on AFS securities, including OTTI AFS securities.
Total Other Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 consisted primarily of unrealized gains on AFS securities, including OTTI AFS securities. Total Other Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 consisted primarily of net recoveries of the fair values of OTTI AFS securities and and the accelerated amortization of pension benefits, partially offset by a reclassification of the net realized gains from the sale of private-label RMBS to Other Income.
Business Segments
Our products and services are grouped within two business segments: Traditional and Mortgage Loans.
The Traditional business segment consists of credit products (including Advances, letters of credit, and lines of credit), investments (including Federal Funds Sold, Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell, AFS Securities, and HTM Securities), and correspondent services and deposits. The following table presents our financial performance for the Traditional business segment ($ amounts in millions):

The increase in Net Income for the Traditional business segment for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to an increase in Other Income (Loss), resulting from the net proceeds from a litigation settlement related to certain private-label RMBS in 2014, partially offset by a decrease in Net Interest Income, resulting primarily from narrower net interest spreads on Advances.
The decrease in Net Income for the Traditional business segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to (i) a decrease in Net Interest Income, resulting from narrower net interest spreads and lower prepayment fees on Advances, and (ii) a decrease in Other Income (Loss), resulting from a net realized gain on the sale of private-label RMBS in 2013, partially offset by the net proceeds from litigation settlements related to certain private-label RMBS in 2014.
The Mortgage Loans business segment includes (i) mortgage loans purchased from our members through our MPP and (ii) participation interests purchased from the FHLBank of Topeka in mortgage loans originated by its members under the MPF program.

The decrease in Net Income for the Mortgage Loans business segment for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to a decrease in Other Income (Loss) attributable to net losses on derivatives and hedging activities.
The decrease in Net Income for the Mortgage Loans business segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to lower Net Interest Income resulting from higher amortization of purchased premium attributable to a decrease in market interest rates during 2014.

Total Assets were $41.0 billion as of September 30, 2014, a net increase of $3.3 billion or 9% compared to December 31, 2013. This increase was primarily due to an increase in Advances.
Advances. In general, Advances fluctuate in accordance with our members' funding needs related to their deposit levels, mortgage pipelines, investment opportunities, available collateral, other balance sheet strategies, and the cost of alternative funding opportunities. Advances at carrying value totaled $19.3 billion at September 30, 2014, a net increase of 11% compared to December 31, 2013. This increase was primarily due to our members' higher funding needs and included an increase of 8% to depository institutions and 15% to insurance companies.

Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio. In general, the volume of mortgage loans purchased is affected by several factors, including interest rates, competition, the general level of housing activity in the United States, the level of refinancing activity and consumer product preferences. A breakdown of Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio by primary product type is presented below ($ amounts in millions):

The increase in the UPB of Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio was due to an increase in mortgage loans purchased under MPP Advantage, which we have offered since 2010 for new conventional MPP loans. Upon implementation of MPP Advantage, the original MPP was phased out and is no longer being used for acquisitions of new conventional loans. Over time, the outstanding balance of mortgage loans purchased under our original MPP will continue to decrease.
In July 2012, we began purchasing participation interests in mortgage loans originated by certain of the FHLBank of Topeka's member institutions through their participation in the MPF Program. In January 2014, the FHLBank of Topeka notified us that it will no longer offer us the opportunity to participate in new MPF Master Commitment Contracts. We continued to acquire participation interests in MPF loans under the existing MPF Master Commitment Contracts until they were fulfilled in April 2014.
We have established and maintain an allowance for loan losses based on our best estimate of probable losses over the loss emergence period. Our estimate of MPP losses remaining after borrower's equity was $21.9 million at September 30, 2014 and $31.5 million at December 31, 2013. This decrease from December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014 was primarily the result of a reduction in the number of delinquent mortgage loans as well as a reduction in potential claims by servicers on principal previously paid in full.
After we considered the portion recoverable under the associated credit enhancements, we established an allowance for MPP loan losses of $2.7 million at September 30, 2014 and $4.0 million at December 31, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the estimated amounts deemed potentially unrecoverable from our PMI and SMI providers due to upgrades in their credit ratings. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses, Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, and Risk Management - Credit Risk Management - Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio - MPP Credit Enhancements for more information.
Cash and Investments. The following table presents the components of our cash and investments at carrying value ($ amounts in millions):

Total Cash and Investments, carrying value | $ | 15,091 | $ | 14,099 | $ | 992 |
Cash and Short-Term Investments. The total outstanding balance and composition of our short-term investment portfolio is influenced by our liquidity needs, market conditions and the availability of short-term investments at attractive interest rates, relative to our cost of funds. Cash and short-term investments totaled $4.4 billion at September 30, 2014, an increase of 34% compared to December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to repayments of Advances at the end of the period. Cash and Due from Banks also increased due to the lack of short-term investment opportunities that met our internal thresholds at September 30, 2014.
Investment Securities. AFS securities totaled $3.6 billion at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Net unrealized gains on AFS securities totaled $62.2 million at September 30, 2014, an increase of $35.7 million compared to December 31, 2013, due to favorable changes in interest rates, credit spreads and volatility. The percentage of non-MBS AFS securities due after one year through five years increased to 79% at September 30, 2014 compared to 65% at December 31, 2013, while the percentage due after five years decreased from 35% to 21% due to the passage of time and no new purchases. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 3 - Available-for-Sale Securities for more information.
HTM securities totaled $7.1 billion at September 30, 2014, a decrease of 1% compared to December 31, 2013 due to principal paydowns. At September 30, 2014, the estimated fair value of our HTM securities in an unrealized loss position totaled $1.2 billion, a decrease of 62% from December 31, 2013, primarily due to favorable changes in interest rates, credit spreads and volatility. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 4 - Held-to-Maturity Securities for more information.
See Risk Management - Credit Risk Management - Investments - Long-Term Investments herein for more information on our investment securities.
Total Liabilities. Total Liabilities were $38.5 billion at September 30, 2014, a net increase of 9% compared to December 31, 2013. This net increase of $3.1 billion was substantially due to an increase of $3.0 billion in Consolidated Obligations.
Deposits (Liabilities). Total Deposits were $1.0 billion at September 30, 2014, a decrease of 4% compared to December 31, 2013. Total Deposits represent a relatively small portion of our funding and may also vary depending upon market factors, such as the attractiveness of our deposit pricing relative to the rates available on alternative money market instruments, members' investment preferences with respect to the maturity of their investments, and member liquidity.
Consolidated Obligations. At September 30, 2014, the carrying values of our Discount Notes and CO Bonds totaled $10.1 billion and $26.9 billion, respectively, compared to $7.4 billion and $26.6 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2013. The overall balance of our Consolidated Obligations fluctuates in relation to our Total Assets and the availability of alternative sources of funds.
The carrying value of our Discount Notes was 27% of total Consolidated Obligations at September 30, 2014, compared to 22% at December 31, 2013. Discount Notes are issued primarily to provide short-term funds, while CO Bonds are issued to provide longer-term funding. The composition of our Consolidated Obligations can fluctuate significantly based on comparative changes in their cost levels, supply and demand conditions, demand for Advances, and our balance sheet management strategy.
As of September 30, 2014, $12.5 billion or 47% of our outstanding CO Bonds, at par, as well as all of our Discount Notes, have a remaining maturity of one year or less. Our funding strategy generally results in a significant portion of CO Bonds maturing in one year or less being replaced at maturity. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 10 - Consolidated Obligations for more information.
Derivatives. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had Derivative Assets, net of collateral held or posted, including accrued interest, with estimated fair values of $19.0 million and $7.2 million, respectively, and Derivative Liabilities, net of collateral held or posted, including accrued interest, with estimated fair values of $92.0 million and $109.7 million, respectively. Increases and decreases in the fair value of derivatives are primarily caused by market changes in the derivatives' underlying interest rate.
Total Capital. Total Capital was $2.6 billion at September 30, 2014, an increase of 8% compared to December 31, 2013. This increase consisted of a net increase in Capital Stock of $115.8 million, a net increase in Retained Earnings of $48.0 million and a favorable change in AOCI of $35.7 million. The change in AOCI was primarily due to a net change in unrealized gains (losses) on AFS securities, and the accelerated amortization of pension benefits in 2013 from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to Other Expenses following the retirement of our former President - Chief Executive Officer.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity. Our primary sources of liquidity are holdings of cash and short-term investments and the issuance of Consolidated Obligations. Our cash and short-term investments portfolio totaled $4.4 billion at September 30, 2014. During the first nine months of 2014, we maintained sufficient access to funding; our net proceeds from the issuance of Consolidated Obligations totaled $51.6 billion.
We have not identified any trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that are likely to materially increase or decrease our liquidity.
Capital Resources.
Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $16.1 million and $16.8 million, respectively, in non-member capital stock subject to mandatory redemption.
Excess Stock. The following table presents the composition of our excess stock ($ amounts in millions):
Components of Excess Stock | September 30, 2014 | December 31, 2013 | ||||||
Member capital stock not subject to outstanding redemption requests | $ | 592 | $ | 486 | ||||
Member capital stock subject to outstanding redemption requests | 1 | — | ||||||
MRCS | — | — | ||||||
Total excess capital stock | $ | 593 | $ | 486 |
On March 28, 2014, we announced that our Board of Directors approved an extension of a limited opportunity from April 14, 2014 through September 30, 2014 for our members to hold only 2% in activity-based capital stock to support certain types of Advances rather than the previous level of 5%. The opportunity was restricted to Advances with maturities ranging from three months to five years.
On September 19, 2014, we announced our intention to repurchase, on a voluntary basis and for a limited time, up to $200 million par value of excess stock held by members for general capital management purposes. Members that intended to participate in this program were required to provide written notice of such intent to our Bank during a fourteen day period that ended on October 20, 2014. As a result of the program, we repurchased $37.3 million of excess stock on November 5, 2014.
Capital Distributions. On October 29, 2014, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of 3.75% (annualized) on our Capital Stock Putable-Class B-1 and 3.0% (annualized) on our Capital Stock Putable-Class B-2 based on our net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, as well as other factors as stated in Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities - Dividends in our 2013 Form 10-K.
Adequacy of Capital. At September 30, 2014, our regulatory capital ratio was 6.19%, and our leverage capital ratio was 9.29%. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 12 - Capital for more information.
In addition, we must maintain sufficient permanent capital to meet the combined credit risk, market risk and operational risk components of the risk-based capital requirement. As presented in the following table, we were in compliance with the risk-based capital requirement at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 ($ amounts in millions).
Risk-Based Capital Components | September 30, 2014 | December 31, 2013 | ||||||
Credit risk | $ | 281 | $ | 299 | ||||
Market risk | 200 | 289 | ||||||
Operations risk | 144 | 177 | ||||||
Total risk-based capital requirement | $ | 625 | $ | 765 | ||||
Permanent capital | $ | 2,542 | $ | 2,379 |
The decrease in our risk-based capital requirement was primarily caused by a decrease in the market risk capital component, which was due to reduced sensitivity to changes in market interest rates. The operations risk capital component is calculated as 30% of the credit and market risk capital components.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The following table summarizes our off-balance-sheet arrangements (notional $ amounts in millions):
Types | September 30, 2014 | |||
Letters of credit outstanding | $ | 255 | ||
Unused lines of credit | 822 | |||
Commitments to fund additional Advances (1) | 20 | |||
Commitments to fund or purchase mortgage loans | 159 | |||
Unsettled CO Bonds, at par (2) | 453 |
(1) | Generally for periods up to six months. |
(2) | Includes $405.0 million hedged with associated interest-rate swaps. |
At September 30, 2014, $8.1 million of principal previously paid in full by the servicers remains subject to potential claims by those servicers for any losses resulting from past or future liquidations of the underlying properties. An estimate of the losses is included in the MPP allowance for loan losses. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses for more information.
See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies for information on additional commitments and contingencies.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have identified five accounting policies that we believe are critical because they require management to make particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These accounting policies relate to:
• | Derivatives and hedging activities (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities for more detail); |
• | Fair value estimates (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 15 - Estimated Fair Values for more detail); |
• | Provision for credit losses (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses for more detail); |
• | Premiums and discounts and other costs associated with originating or acquiring mortgage loans (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for more detail); and |
• | OTTI (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 5 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment for more detail). |
A full discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates can be found in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our 2013 Form 10-K. See below for additional information regarding certain of these policies.
Provision for Credit Losses.
Mortgage Loans Acquired under the MPP. Our allowance for loan losses incorporates our analysis of delinquent conventional MPP loans, using the weighted-average collateral recovery rate for the previous 12 months of approximately 56.4% of the original appraised value, further reduced by estimated liquidation costs.
We have also performed our loan loss analysis under an adverse scenario whereby we lowered the weighted-average collateral recovery rate to 45% for delinquent conventional loans and individually evaluated loans. While holding all other assumptions constant, such scenario would have increased our allowance by approximately $1.7 million at September 30, 2014. We consider a weighted-average collateral recovery rate of 45% to be the lowest rate that is reasonably possible to occur over the loss emergence period of 24 months. We continue to monitor the appropriateness of this adverse scenario based on the actual collateral recovery rate. Additionally, we evaluate the actual collateral recovery rate against other time periods including the most recent 3- and 6-month periods in order to consider potential trends in the market. Annually, we also consider other adverse scenarios that include loans in earlier stages of delinquency (90 days) and higher costs to liquidate collateral.
We evaluated these adverse scenarios and determined that the likelihood of incurring losses resulting from these scenarios during the next 24 months was not probable. Therefore, the allowance for loan losses is based upon our best estimate of the probable losses over the next 24 months that would not be recovered from the credit enhancements.
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Analysis. In addition to evaluating our private-label RMBS under a best estimate scenario, we performed a cash flow analysis for each of these securities under a more stressful housing price scenario. This more stressful scenario was based on a short-term housing price forecast that was decreased 5% followed by a recovery path that is 33% lower than the best estimate.
The actual OTTI-related credit losses recognized in earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 were $42 thousand. The adverse case scenario's estimated cash flows and OTTI-related credit losses estimate what the OTTI charges would have been under the more stressful scenario for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, which were $119 thousand.
The adverse scenario and associated results do not represent our current expectations and, therefore, should not be construed as a prediction of our future results, market conditions or the performance of these securities. Rather, the results from this hypothetical adverse scenario provide a measure of the credit losses that we might incur if home price declines (and subsequent recoveries) are more adverse than those projected in our OTTI evaluation.
Additional information regarding OTTI of our private-label RMBS and ABS is provided in Risk Management - Credit Risk Management - Investments herein.
Accounting for Premiums and Discounts and Other Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Mortgage Loans. Effective October 1, 2014, we intend to change our accounting policy related to the amortization of premiums and discounts, loan fees or costs, and hedging basis adjustments related to our mortgage loans from the retrospective interest method to the contractual interest method, subject to required due process and approval. If approved, such change will require a retrospective application whereby each individual prior period presented in the financial statements included in our 2014 Form 10-K will be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying a new accounting principle. The effects of the change have not been finalized, but could cause reductions of Net Income, Total Comprehensive Income, Total Assets and Total Capital, certain of which could be material.
Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments
Accounting Developments. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 2 - Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance for a description of how recent accounting developments may impact our results of operations or financial condition.
Legislative and Regulatory Developments. The legislative and regulatory environment in which the Bank and its members operate continues to evolve as a result of regulations enacted pursuant to the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, as amended, and the Dodd-Frank Act. The Bank’s business operations, funding costs, rights, obligations, and/or the environment in which the Bank carries out its housing finance mission are likely to continue to be significantly impacted by these changes. Significant regulatory actions and developments for the period covered by this report are summarized below.
Finance Agency Developments.
Proposed Membership Rule. On September 12, 2014, the Finance Agency published a proposed rule regarding Members of FHLBanks ("Proposed Membership Rule") that would, among other things:
• | Impose a new test on all FHLBank members that requires them to maintain, on an ongoing basis, at least 1% of their assets in first-lien home mortgage loans, including MBS, with maturities of five years or more, in order to maintain their membership in an FHLBank. The Proposed Membership Rule includes an evaluation of 2% and 5% tests and requests comments on whether a 1% test is sufficient to demonstrate members' ongoing commitment to housing; |
• | Require all insured depository members (other than Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insured depositories with less than $1.1 billion in assets) to maintain, on an ongoing basis, at least 10% of their assets in a broader range of residential mortgage loans, including those secured by junior liens and MBS, in order to maintain their membership in an FHLBank; |
• | Eliminate from FHLBank membership eligibility all insurance companies that do not primarily write insurance for nonaffiliated persons or entities. Under the Proposed Membership Rule, a "captive" insurance company is a company that is authorized under state law to conduct an insurance business but whose primary business is not the underwriting of insurance for nonaffiliated persons or entities. As a result, current captive insurance company members would have their memberships terminated five years after issuance of a final rule; there would be restrictions on the level and maturity of advances that FHLBanks could make to these members during the sunset period; and any new captive insurance members admitted after the publication of the Proposed Membership Rule would have their membership and advances terminated upon issuance of a final rule. These provisions would not only affect captive insurance companies but potentially other types of insurance companies as well; and |
• | Codify how an FHLBank should determine the "principal place of business" of an insurance company or community development financial institution for purposes of membership. Current rules define an institution’s "principal place of business” as the state in which it maintains its home office. The Proposed Membership Rule would add a second component requiring an institution to conduct business operations from the home office for that state to be considered its principal place of business. The proposed changes involving determination of the principal place of business would apply prospectively. |
We continue to evaluate the potential impact of the Proposed Membership Rule. We currently expect that the impact on our financial condition and results of operations would be materially adverse, but not immediately. The Bank has three captive insurance company members who would have their membership terminated five years after issuance of a final rule. Other insurance company members that are deemed not to meet the definition of "insurance company" could also have their membership terminated after five years. In addition we have determined that five current members would not qualify for membership as of June 30, 2014 under the 1% ongoing asset test described above. We are continuing to assess whether other members or prospective members may not qualify for membership under the proposed asset tests or as a result of a new, narrower regulatory definition of "insurance company." Comments on the Proposed Membership Rule are due by January 12, 2015.
FHLBank Capital Stock and Capital Plans. On October 8, 2014, the Finance Agency issued a proposed rule that would transfer existing parts 931 and 933 of the Federal Housing Finance Board regulations, which address requirements for FHLBanks’ capital stock and capital plans, to new Part 1277 of the Finance Agency regulations ("Capital Proposed Rule"). The Capital Proposed Rule deletes certain provisions that applied only to the one-time conversion of FHLBank stock to the new capital structure required by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The Capital Proposed Rule would also make certain clarifying changes so that the rules would more precisely reflect long-standing practices and requirements with regard to transactions in FHLBank stock. The Capital Proposed Rule would add appropriate references to "former members"’ to clarify when former FHLBank members can be required to maintain investment in FHLBank capital stock after withdrawal from the FHLBank. The Bank is currently evaluating the Capital Proposed Rule, but we do not expect that, if adopted as proposed, it will have a material impact on our operations. Comments on the Capital Proposed Rule are due by December 8, 2014.
Joint Final Rule on Credit Risk Retention for Asset-backed Securities. On October 22, 2014, the Finance Agency, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, the FDIC, the SEC and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (collectively, "Adopting Agencies") jointly approved a final rule requiring sponsors of ABS to retain credit risk in those transactions. The final rule largely retains the risk retention framework contained in the proposal issued by the agencies in August 2013, and generally requires sponsors of ABS to retain a minimum 5% economic interest in the portion of the credit risk of the assets collateralizing the ABS, unless all the securitized assets satisfy specified qualifications. The final rule specifies criteria for qualified residential mortgage ("QRM"), commercial real estate, auto, and commercial loans that would make them exempt from the risk retention requirement. The definition of QRM is aligned with the definition of "qualified mortgage" ("QM") as provided in Section 129C of the Truth in Lending Act, and its implementing regulations, as adopted by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The QM definition requires, among other things, full documentation and verification of consumers’ debt and income and a debt-to-income ratio that does not exceed 43%; and it restricts the use of certain product features, such as negative amortization and interest-only and balloon payments.
Other exemptions from the credit risk requirement include certain owner-occupied mortgage loans secured by three-to-four unit residential properties that meet the criteria for QM and certain types of community-focused residential mortgages (including extensions of credit made by community development financial institutions). The final rule also includes a provision that requires the Adopting Agencies to periodically review the definition of QRM, the exemption for certain community-focused residential mortgages, and the exemption for certain three-to-four unit residential mortgage loans and consider whether they should be modified.
The final rule exempts agency MBS from the risk retention requirements as long as the sponsoring entity is operating under the conservatorship or receivership of the Finance Agency and fully guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on all assets in the issued security. Further, MBS issued by any limited-life regulated entity succeeding to either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac operating with capital support from the United States would be exempt from the risk retention requirements.
Each FHLBank is currently assessing the final rule and has not yet determined the effect, if any, that this rule may have on its operations. The final rule will be effective one year after publication in the Federal Register for residential mortgage-backed securitizations and two years after publication for all other securitization types.
Other Significant Developments.
Basel Committee on Bank Supervision - Liquidity Coverage Ratio. On September 3, 2014, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the FDIC ("Banking Agencies") finalized the liquidity coverage ratio ("LCR") rule, applicable to: (i) United States banking organizations with $250 billion or more in consolidated total assets or $10 billion or more in total on-balance sheet foreign exposure, and their consolidated subsidiary depository institutions with $10 billion or more in total consolidated assets; and (ii) certain other United States bank or savings and loan holding companies having at least $50 billion in total consolidated assets (which will be subject to less stringent requirements under the LCR rule). The LCR rule requires such covered companies to maintain a stock of "high quality liquid assets” ("HQLA") that is no less than 100% of their total net cash outflows over a prospective 30-day stress period. Among other things, the final rule defines the various categories of HQLA, called Levels 1, 2A, or 2B. The treatment of HQLA for the LCR is most favorable under the Level 1 category, less favorable under the Level 2A category, and least favorable under the Level 2B category.
Under the final rule, collateral pledged to the FHLBanks but not securing existing borrowings may be considered eligible HQLA to the extent the collateral itself qualifies as eligible HQLA; qualifying FHLBank System consolidated obligations are categorized as Level 2A HQLA; and the amount of a covered company’s funding that is assumed to run off includes 25% of FHLBank advances maturing within 30 days, to the extent such advances are not secured by Level 1 or Level 2A HQLA, where 0% and 15% run-off assumptions apply, respectively. The final rule requires that all covered companies be fully compliant by January 1, 2017. At this time, the impact of the final rule on the Bank is uncertain, but it may decrease demand for our Advances, or change member appetites for particular Advances terms.
Joint Proposed Rule on Margin and Capital Requirements for Covered Swap Entities. On September 3, 2014, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the FDIC, the Farm Credit Administration, and the Finance Agency (collectively, "Agencies") jointly proposed a rule to establish minimum margin and capital requirements for registered swap dealers, major swap participants, security-based swap dealers, and major security-based swap participants (collectively, "Swap Entities") that are subject to the jurisdiction of one of the Agencies ("Proposed Swap Rule"). In addition, the Proposed Swap Rule affords the Agencies discretion to subject other persons to the rule’s requirements (such persons, together with Swap Entities, "Covered Swap Entities"). Comments on the Proposed Swap Rule are due by November 24, 2014.
In addition, on September 17, 2014, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") adopted its version of the Proposed Rule ("CFTC Proposed Rule") that generally mirrors the Proposed Swap Rule. The CFTC Proposed Rule will only apply to a limited number of registered swap dealers and major swap participants that are not subject to the jurisdiction of one of the Agencies. Comments on the CFTC Proposed Rule are due by December 2, 2014.
The Proposed Swap Rule would subject non-cleared swaps and non-cleared security-based swaps between Covered Swap Entities, and between Covered Swap Entities and financial end users that have material swaps exposure (i.e., an average aggregate notional of $3 billion or more in uncleared swaps) to a mandatory two-way initial margin requirement. The amount of initial margin required to be posted or collected would be the amount calculated using either a standardized schedule set forth in the Proposed Swap Rule, which provides the gross initial margin (as a percentage of total notional exposure) for certain asset classes, or an internal margin model conforming to the requirements of the Proposed Swap Rule that is approved by the applicable Agency. The Proposed Swap Rule also specifies the types of collateral that may be posted by either counterparty as initial margin (generally, cash, certain government securities, certain liquid debt, certain equity securities and gold) and sets forth haircuts for certain collateral asset classes. Initial margin must be segregated with an independent, third-party custodian and may not be rehypothecated.
The Proposed Swap Rule would require variation margin to be exchanged daily for non-cleared swaps and non-cleared security-based swaps between Covered Swap Entities and between Covered Swap Entities and all financial end users (without regard to the swaps exposure of the particular financial end-user). The variation margin amount is the daily mark-to-market change in the value of the swap to the Covered Swap Entity, taking into account variation margin previously paid or collected. Variation margin may only be paid or collected in cash, is not required to be segregated with an independent, third-party custodian, and may be rehypothecated if permitted by contract.
Under the Proposed Swap Rule, the variation margin requirement would become effective on December 1, 2015, and the initial margin requirement would be phased in over a four-year period commencing on that date. For entities that have less than a $1 trillion notional amount of non-cleared derivatives, the Proposed Swap Rule’s initial margin requirement would not come into effect until December 1, 2019.
The Bank would not be a Covered Swap Entity under the Proposed Swap Rule, although the Finance Agency has discretion to designate the Bank a Covered Swap Entity. Rather, the Bank would be a financial end-user under the Proposed Swap Rule, and it would likely have material swaps exposure upon the effective date of the Proposed Swap Rule’s initial margin requirement. Since the Bank is currently posting and collecting variation margin on its non-cleared swaps, it is not anticipated that the Proposed Swap Rule’s variation margin requirement, if adopted, would have a material impact on the Bank’s costs. However, if the Proposed Swap Rule’s initial margin requirement is adopted, it is anticipated that the Bank’s cost of engaging in non-cleared swaps would increase.
SEC Final Regulations on Money Market Mutual Fund Reform. On June 19, 2013, the SEC proposed two alternatives for amending rules that govern money market mutual funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. On July 23, 2014, the SEC approved final regulations governing money market mutual funds. The final regulations, among other things, will:
• | Require institutional prime money market funds (including institutional municipal money market funds) to sell and redeem shares based on their floating net asset value, which would result in the daily share prices of the money market funds fluctuating along with changes in the market-based value of the funds’ investments; |
• | Allow money market fund boards of directors to directly address a run on a fund by imposing liquidity fees or suspending redemptions temporarily; and |
• | Include enhanced diversification, disclosure, and stress testing requirements as well as provide updated reporting by money market funds and private funds that operate like money market funds. |
The final regulations do not change the existing regulatory treatment of FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations as liquid assets. FHLBank consolidated discount notes continue to be included in the definition of "daily liquid assets," and the definition of "weekly liquid assets" continues to include FHLBank consolidated discount notes with a remaining maturity up to 60 days. At this time, the future impact of these regulations on demand for FHLBank consolidated obligations is unknown.
Risk Management
We have exposure to a number of risks in pursuing our business objectives. These risks may be broadly classified as market, credit, liquidity, operations, and business. Market risk is discussed in detail in Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Management in our 2013 Form 10-K for more detailed information.
Credit Risk Management. We face credit risk on Advances and other credit products, investments, mortgage loans, derivative financial instruments, and AHP grants.
Advances. Advances, at par, to our insurance company members were 62% and 61% of total Advances at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. We believe that Advances outstanding to our insurance company members and the relative percentage of their Advances to the total could continue to increase. Although insurance companies represent significant growth opportunities for our credit products, they have different risk characteristics than our depository members. Some of the ways we mitigate this risk include requiring insurance companies to deliver collateral to us or our custodian and using industry-specific underwriting approaches as part of our ongoing evaluation of each insurance company member's financial strength.
As of September 30, 2014, we had Advances outstanding, at par, of $4.3 billion to five of our insurance company members whose total credit products exceeded 15% of their general account assets, net of borrowed money. Two of these members are captive insurance companies. A captive insurance company insures risks of its parent, affiliated companies and/or other entities under common control. Beginning on March 21, 2014, management began establishing a borrowing limit on a case-by-case basis for our captive insurance company members based on a review and recommendation by our credit services underwriting department. Credit services underwriting makes a recommendation based upon a number of factors that may include the member's financial condition, collateral quality, business plan, the existence of a parental guarantee and earnings stability. In addition, we generally require captive insurance company members to, among other things: (i) pledge the collateral free of other encumbrances, (ii) collateralize all obligations to us, including prepayment fees, accrued interest and any outstanding AHP or MPP obligations, (iii) obtain our prior approval before pledging whole loan collateral, and (iv) provide annual audit reports of the member entity and its ultimate parent, as well as quarterly unaudited financial statements.
Concentration. Our credit risk is magnified due to the concentration of Advances in a few borrowers. As of September 30, 2014, our top two borrowers held 23% of total Advances outstanding, at par, and our top five borrowers held 42% of total Advances outstanding, at par. As a result of this concentration, we perform frequent credit and collateral reviews on our largest borrowers. In addition, we analyze the implications to our financial management and profitability if we were to lose the business of one or more of these borrowers.
Prepayment Fees. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $5.4 billion or 28% of Advances outstanding, at par, and $4.1 billion or 24% of Advances outstanding, at par, respectively, that can be prepaid without incurring prepayment or termination fees. All other Advances may only be prepaid by paying a fee that is sufficient to make us financially indifferent to the prepayment of the Advance.
Investments. We are also exposed to credit risk through our investment portfolios. The Risk Management Policy approved by our board of directors restricts the acquisition of investments to high-quality, short-term money market instruments and high-quality long-term securities.
Short-Term Investments. At September 30, 2014, we did not have any unsecured credit exposure to investments in United States branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks. Unsecured transactions can be conducted only with counterparties that are domiciled in countries that maintain a long-term equivalent sovereign rating from S&P of AA or higher.
Long-Term Investments. A Finance Agency regulation provides that the total value of our investments in MBS and ABS, calculated using amortized historical cost, must not exceed 300% of our total regulatory capital, consisting of Retained Earnings, Class B Capital Stock, and MRCS, as of the day we purchase the securities, based on the capital amount most recently reported to the Finance Agency. These investments, as a percentage of total regulatory capital, were 283% at September 30, 2014 compared to 308% at December 31, 2013. Although our outstanding investments in MBS and ABS exceeded the limitation at December 31, 2013, we were in compliance at the time we purchased the investments and, therefore, we were not out of compliance with the regulation. However, we were not permitted to purchase additional investments in MBS and ABS until these outstanding investments were within the capital limitation. Generally, our goal is to maintain these investments near the 300% limit in order to enhance earnings and capital for our members and diversify our revenue stream.
The following table presents the carrying values of our investments, excluding accrued interest, by credit rating, grouped by investment category. Applicable rating levels are determined using the lowest relevant long-term rating from S&P, Moody's and Fitch, each stated in terms of the S&P equivalent. Rating modifiers are ignored when determining the applicable rating level for a given counterparty or investment. Amounts reported do not reflect any changes in ratings, outlook, or watch status occurring after September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013, respectively ($ amounts in millions):

Private-label RMBS and ABS. Private-label RMBS and ABS are classified as prime, Alt-A or subprime based on the originator's classification at the time of origination or based on classification by an NRSRO upon issuance. Because there is no universally accepted definition of prime, Alt-A or subprime underwriting standards, such classifications are subjective.
All private-label RMBS and ABS were rated with an S&P equivalent rating of AAA at the date of purchase. Our private-label RMBS and ABS are backed by collateral located only in the United States and the District of Columbia. The top five states, by percentage of collateral located in those states as of September 30, 2014, were California (63%), New York (6%), Florida (5%), Virginia (3%), and Connecticut (2%).

OTTI Evaluation Process. The following table presents the additional significant modeling assumptions used to determine whether a security was OTTI during the third quarter of 2014, as well as the related current credit enhancement as of September 30, 2014. Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before we will experience a loss on the security. A credit enhancement percentage of zero reflects securities that have no remaining credit support and are likely to have experienced an actual principal loss. The calculated averages represent the dollar-weighted averages of all of the OTTI private-label RMBS and ABS in each category shown. RMBS and ABS are classified as prime, Alt-A or subprime based on the model used to estimate the cash flows for the security, which may not be the same as the classification by the rating agency at the time of origination ($ amounts in millions).

(3) | On August 3, 2011, we announced that we would no longer accept RMIC, a subsidiary of Old Republic International Corporation, as a provider of PMI, effective with MDCs committed on or after August 1, 2011. On January 20, 2012, the North Carolina Department of Insurance took possession and control of RMIC, and, beginning January 19, 2012, RMIC was authorized to pay only 50% of its claim amounts, with the remaining amount to be paid at a future date when funds become available. On December 3, 2012, RMIC announced regulatory approval of a plan to pay 60% of its claims amounts for claims settled subsequent to January 19, 2012. On June 30, 2014, RMIC announced regulatory approval of a plan to resume payment of all valid claims settled on or after July 1, 2014 at 100% of its claim amounts without further deferrals. All deferred payment obligations outstanding were paid in full as of June 30, 2014. |

On October 20, 2011, the Arizona Department of Insurance took possession and control of PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. Beginning October 24, 2011, PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. paid only 50% of its claim amounts with the remaining amount deferred until the company is liquidated. On April 5, 2013, PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. announced regulatory approval of a plan to pay 55% of its claims amounts for claims settled subsequent to October 24, 2011. PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. began paying 67% of its claims amounts on March 7, 2014. |

Credit Risk Exposure to Supplemental Mortgage Insurance Providers. As of September 30, 2014, we were the beneficiary of SMI coverage, under our original MPP, on mortgage pools with a total UPB of $2.0 billion. Two mortgage insurance companies provide all of the SMI coverage. The following table presents the lowest credit rating and outlook of S&P, Moody's and Fitch stated in terms of the S&P equivalent as of October 31, 2014, and the SMI exposure ($ amounts in millions):

MPP and MPF Loan Concentration. The mortgage loans purchased through the MPP and the participation interests purchased through the MPF program are currently dispersed across 50 states and the District of Columbia. No single zip code represented more than 1% of mortgage loans outstanding at September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. It is likely that the concentration of mortgage loans in Indiana and Michigan will continue to increase in the future due to the loss of the 3 largest MPP sellers in 2006 - 2007 that were our primary sources of nationwide mortgages. The median outstanding size of our mortgage loans was approximately $133 thousand and $131 thousand at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
MPP and MPF Credit Performance. The serious delinquency rate for the MPP FHA mortgages was 0.31% and 0.56% at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. We rely on insurance provided by the FHA, which generally provides coverage for 100% of the principal balance of the underlying mortgage loan and defaulted interest at the debenture rate. However, we would receive defaulted interest at the contractual rate from the servicer.
The serious delinquency rate for MPP conventional mortgages was 1.02% at September 30, 2014, compared to 1.56% at December 31, 2013. Both rates were below the national serious delinquency rate. There were two seriously delinquent conventional MPF loans at September 30, 2014. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses for more information.
Derivatives. Our over-the-counter derivative transactions are either (i) executed with a counterparty (bilateral derivatives) or (ii) cleared through a Futures Commission Merchant (i.e., clearing agent) with a Clearinghouse (cleared derivatives). See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Management - Credit Risk Management - Derivatives in our 2013 Form 10-K for more information.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Measuring Market Risks
We utilize multiple risk measurements, including duration of equity, duration gap, convexity, VaR, earnings at risk, and changes in market value of equity, to evaluate market risk. Periodically, stress tests are conducted to measure and analyze the effects that extreme movements in the level of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve would have on our risk position.
Duration of Equity. The following table presents the effective duration of equity levels for our total position, which are subject to internal policy guidelines:
Date | -200 bps (1) | 0 bps | +200 bps | |||
September 30, 2014 | (3.4) years | (0.1) years | 2.4 years | |||
December 31, 2013 | 0.6 years | (2.0) years | 2.1 years |
(1) | Our internal policy guidelines provide for the calculation of the duration of equity in a low-rate environment to be based on the Finance Agency Advisory Bulletin 03-09, as modified September 3, 2008. Under these guidelines, our duration of equity for the -200 bps duration level was (0.1) years at September 30, 2014 and (2.0) years at December 31, 2013, which were equal to the levels under the base case (0 bps). |
We were in compliance with the duration of equity limits established at both dates. The change in the base case duration of equity level (0 bps) at September 30, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013 was primarily due to a change in the pricing assumption for internal modeling purposes for swapped Consolidated Obligations to the price implied by the matched swap. This change resulted in our liabilities being shortened relative to assets and, therefore, lengthened the duration of equity.
Our -200 bps duration of equity level declined primarily due to a combination of the following factors: (i) our interest-rate risk model floors forward rates at 0%; (ii) the pricing assumption for swapped Consolidated Obligations is now derived from the price implied by the matched swap; and (iii) the assumption of lower long-term interest rates increased the forecasted mortgage prepayments and the exercise of callable Consolidated Obligations.
Duration Gap. The duration gap was (1.1) months at September 30, 2014, compared to (3.3) months at December 31, 2013.
Market Risk-Based Capital Requirement. When calculating the risk-based capital requirement, the VaR comprising the first factor of the market risk component is defined as the potential dollar loss from adverse market movements, for a holding period of 120 business days, with a 99% confidence interval, based on those historical prices and market rates. The table below presents the VaR ($ amounts in millions):
Date | VaR | |||
September 30, 2014 | $ | 200 | ||
December 31, 2013 | 289 |
Ratio of Market Value to Book Value of Equity between Base Rates and Shift Scenarios. We measure potential changes in the market value to book value of equity based on the current month-end level of rates versus large parallel rate shifts. This measurement provides information related to the sensitivity of our interest-rate position. The table below presents the ratios of market value to book value of equity:

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") is: (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms; and (b) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As of September 30, 2014, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the Principal Executive Officer), Executive Vice President - Finance (the Principal Financial Officer), and Chief Accounting Officer (the Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President - Finance, and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2014.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Exchange Act that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and other internal controls will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can only be reasonable assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Additionally, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are unaware of any potential claims against us that could be material.
Private-Label Mortgage-Backed Securities Litigation
On October 15, 2010, we filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Marion County, Indiana, relating to private-label residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") we purchased in the aggregate original principal amount of approximately $2.9 billion. The complaint, which has been amended, is an action for rescission and damages and asserts claims for negligent misrepresentation and violations of state and federal securities law occurring in connection with the sale of these private-label RMBS to us. As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, we executed confidential settlement agreements with certain defendants in this litigation, pursuant to which we have dismissed pending claims against, and provided legal releases to, certain entities with respect to applicable securities at issue in the litigation, in consideration of our receipt of cash payments from those defendants. In July 2014, we executed a confidential settlement agreement with another defendant in this litigation, pursuant to which we have dismissed pending claims against, and provided legal releases to, certain entities with respect to other applicable securities at issue in the litigation, in consideration of our receipt of a cash payment on behalf of that defendant. Having completed that settlement, our remaining claim consists of allegations of negligent misrepresentation and violations of state securities law against one defendant with respect to one private-label RMBS with an original principal amount of $82.0 million.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
Except for an addition to the following risk factor, there have been no material changes in the risk factors described in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our 2013 Form 10-K.
Changes in the Legal and Regulatory Environment May Adversely Affect Our Business, Demand for Advances, the Cost of Debt Issuance, or the Value of FHLBank Membership
On September 12, 2014, the Finance Agency published a proposed rule regarding members of FHLBanks ("Proposed Membership Rule"). For information regarding the Proposed Membership Rule, please refer to Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments - Legislative and Regulatory Developments.
If the Proposed Membership Rule is adopted in its current form, we currently expect that the impact on our financial condition and results of operations would be materially adverse, but not immediately. Our three captive insurance company members, who collectively hold $2,541.0 million of outstanding Advances as of September 30, 2014, would have their membership terminated five years after issuance of the rule. Other insurance company members, who collectively hold in excess of $500 million of outstanding Advances as of September 30, 2014, could also have their membership terminated after five years if the Finance Agency deems them not to be "insurance companies" under the rule.
Five members, who collectively hold $13.5 million of outstanding Advances as of September 30, 2014, would not qualify under the proposed ongoing asset tests as of June 30, 2014. If those members who would not comply with the new asset tests (and would not return to compliance within one year) have their membership in our Bank terminated, we expect that the immediate impact on our financial condition and results of operation would be immaterial. Over time, however, we expect that the imposition of ongoing asset tests on our members would adversely impact our results of operations and may adversely affect the value of membership in our Bank.
We are continuing to evaluate whether other institutions may not qualify for membership under the new asset tests or as a result of a new, narrower regulatory definition of "insurance company."
