Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited, $ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Change in Accounting Principle
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.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and SEC requirements for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in our 2015 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 2015 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these policies through March 31, 2016, with the exception of the change in accounting principle described below.
Reclassifications. We have reclassified certain amounts from the prior period to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income, total comprehensive income, total capital, or net cash flows.
Use of Estimates. When preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we are required to make subjective assumptions and estimates that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expense. The most significant estimates include the fair value of financial instruments, including derivatives; the allowance for credit losses; and the determination of OTTI of certain private-label RMBS. Although the reported amounts and disclosures reflect our best estimates, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
Change in Accounting Principle. On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. This guidance requires a reclassification on the statement of condition of debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability from assets to a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.
The guidance became effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2016 and was adopted retrospectively. As a result, effective January 1, 2016, unamortized concessions on consolidated obligations that were included in other assets at December 31, 2015 were reclassified as a reduction to the corresponding consolidated obligations. The reclassification resulted in a reduction in consolidated obligation discount notes of $920 and consolidated obligation bonds of $11,113 at December 31, 2015. Accordingly, total assets and total liabilities were each reduced at December 31, 2015 by $12,033. The adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on our results of operations or cash flows.

(Unaudited, $ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)
Note 2 - Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance.
Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships. On March 10, 2016, the FASB issued amendments to clarify that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under GAAP does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met.
This guidance becomes effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments provide entities with the option to apply the guidance using either a prospective approach or a modified retrospective approach, applied to all derivative instruments that meet the specific conditions. We elected to early adopt the guidance prospectively on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. On April 15, 2015, the FASB issued amendments to clarify a customer's accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. The amendments provide guidance to customers on determining whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license that should be accounted for as internal-use software. If the arrangement does not contain a software license, it would be accounted for as a service contract.
The guidance became effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2016 and was adopted prospectively. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. On February 18, 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance intended to enhance consolidation analysis for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and MBS transactions). The new guidance primarily emphasizes: (i) risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest, such that a reporting organization may no longer have to consolidate a legal entity in certain circumstances based solely on its fee arrangement when certain criteria are met; (ii) reducing the frequency of the application of related-party guidance when determining a controlling interest in a VIE; and (iii) potentially changing consolidation exclusions for entities in several industries that typically make use of limited partnerships or VIEs.
This guidance became effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2016 and its adoption did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance.
Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. On March 14, 2016, the FASB issued amendments to clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. The guidance requires entities to apply only the four-step decision sequence when assessing whether the economic characteristics and risks of call (put) options are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of their debt hosts. Consequently, when a call (put) option is contingently exercisable, an entity does not have to assess whether the event that triggers the ability to exercise a call (put) option is related to interest rates or credit risks.
This guidance becomes effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance should be applied on a modified retrospective basis to existing debt instruments as of the beginning of the period for which the amendments are effective. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance, and its effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows has not yet been determined.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers. On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued new guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. This guidance outlines a comprehensive model for recognizing 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 certain other standards, such as financial instruments, certain guarantees, insurance contracts, or lease contracts. The guidance provides entities with the option of using either of the following two methods upon adoption: (i) a full retrospective method, applied to each prior reporting period presented; or (ii) a modified retrospective method, with the cumulative effect of initially applying this guidance recognized at the date of initial application.
On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to defer the effective date of the guidance by one year. In 2016, the FASB has issued additional amendments to clarify certain aspects of the guidance; however, the amendments do not change the core principle in the guidance.
The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018. Early application is permitted only as of the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2017. 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.

Note 5 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment
OTTI Evaluation Process and Results - Private-label RMBS and ABS. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our individual AFS and HTM investment securities that have been previously OTTI or are in an unrealized loss position for OTTI. As part of our evaluation, we consider whether we intend to sell each security and whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, we recognize an OTTI loss in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security's amortized cost and its estimated fair value at the statement of condition date. For those impaired securities that meet neither of these conditions, we perform a cash flow analysis to determine whether we expect to recover the entire amortized cost of the security as described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 6 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment in our 2015 Form 10-K.
OTTI - Significant Inputs. The FHLBanks' OTTI Governance Committee developed a short-term housing price forecast with projected changes ranging from a decrease of 1% to an increase of 8% over a twelve-month period. For the vast majority of housing markets, the changes range from an increase of 3% to an increase of 5%. Thereafter, a unique path is projected for each geographic area based on an internally developed framework derived from historical data.
Results of OTTI Evaluation Process. As a result of our analysis, no OTTI credit losses were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2016 or 2015. 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 Evaluation Process and Results - All Other AFS and HTM Securities.
Other U.S. and GSE Obligations and TVA Debentures. For other U.S. obligations, GSE obligations, and TVA debentures, we determined that, based on current expectations, the strength of the issuers' guarantees through direct obligations of or support from the United States government is sufficient to protect us from any losses. As a result, all of the gross unrealized losses as of March 31, 2016 are considered temporary.

Credit Risk Exposure and Security Terms. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had a total of $13.2 billion and $14.8 billion, respectively, of advances outstanding, at par, to single borrowers with balances that were greater than or equal to $1.0 billion. These advances, representing 52% and 55%, respectively, of total advances at par outstanding on those dates, were made to seven and eight borrowers, respectively. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we held $22.8 billion and $25.7 billion, respectively, of UPB of collateral to secure the advances to these borrowers.

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 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 2015 Form 10-K.
Credit Products. Using a risk-based approach, we consider the amount and quality of the collateral pledged and the borrower's financial condition to be the primary indicators of credit quality on the borrower's credit products. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had rights to collateral on a borrower-by-borrower basis with an estimated value in excess of our outstanding extensions of credit.
At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we did not have any credit products that were past due, on non-accrual status, or considered impaired. In addition, there were no TDRs related to credit products during the three months ended March 31, 2016 or 2015.
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 and 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.

(1) | Amounts recoverable are limited to (i) the estimated losses remaining after borrower's equity and PMI and (ii) the remaining balance in each pool's portion of the LRA. The remainder of the LRA balance is available to cover any losses not yet incurred and to distribute any excess funds to members. |
MPF Credit Enhancements. CE fees paid to PFIs were $81 and $94 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Performance-based CE fees may be withheld to cover losses allocated to us.
Any losses that occur in a pool will either be: (i) recovered through the withholding of future performance-based CE fees from the PFI or (ii) absorbed by us in the FLA. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our exposure under the FLA was $3,491 and $3,482, respectively. The PFIs’ CE obligations available to cover losses in excess of the FLA totaled $26,862 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Any estimated losses that would be absorbed by the CE obligation are not included in our allowance for loan losses. The resulting allowance for MPF loan losses at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $100 and $125, respectively.

(2) | Represents loans 90 days or more past due (including loans in process of foreclosure) expressed as a percentage of the total recorded investment in mortgage loans. The percentage excludes principal and interest amounts previously paid in full by the servicers on conventional loans that are pending resolution of potential loss claims. Many government loans, including FHA loans, are repurchased by the servicers when they reach 90 days or more delinquent status, similar to the rules for servicers of Ginnie Mae MBS, resulting in the lower serious delinquency rate for government loans. |

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 uncleared 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 uncleared derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate estimated fair value of all uncleared derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position (before cash collateral and related accrued interest on cash collateral) at March 31, 2016 was $195,421, for which we have posted collateral, including accrued interest, with an estimated fair value of $78,559 in the normal course of business. In addition, we held other derivative instruments in a net liability position of $830 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 $6,788 of collateral (at estimated fair value) to our uncleared derivative counterparties at March 31, 2016.
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 by our clearing agents to post additional initial margin at March 31, 2016.
Note 10 - Consolidated Obligations
Although we are the primary obligor for our portion of consolidated obligations (i.e., those issued on our behalf), we are also jointly and severally liable with each of the other FHLBanks for the payment of the principal and interest on all FHLBank consolidated obligations. The par values of the FHLBanks' outstanding consolidated obligations totaled $896.8 billion and $905.2 billion at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Note 12 - Capital
Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock. Under the Final Membership Rule, captive insurance companies that were admitted as FHLBank members on or after September 12, 2014 and do not meet the new definition of "insurance company" or fall within another category of institution that is eligible for FHLBank membership shall have their membership terminated by February 19, 2017. Upon termination, all of their outstanding Class B stock shall be repurchased or redeemed. As a result, we reclassified their total outstanding Class B stock of $25,585 to MRCS.

We measure the performance of each segment based upon the net interest spread of the underlying portfolio(s). Therefore, each segment's performance begins with net interest income. Direct other income and expense items also affect each segment's results. Direct other income/expense related to the traditional segment includes the direct earnings impact of derivatives and hedging activities related to advances and investment products as well as all other income and expense not associated with mortgage loans. The mortgage loans segment includes the direct earnings impact of derivatives and hedging activities as well as direct salary and other expenses (including an allocation for indirect overhead) associated with operating the MPP and MPF Program, and volume-driven costs associated with master servicing and quality control fees. The assessments related to AHP have been allocated to each segment based upon each segment's proportionate share of income before assessments.
The following table presents asset balances by operating segment.

Pledged Collateral. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had pledged cash collateral, at par, of $284,798 and $146,280, respectively, to counterparties and clearing agents. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had not pledged any securities as collateral.
Legal Proceedings. We are subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. We record an accrual for a loss contingency when it is probable that a loss for which we could be liable has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. 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, results of operations or cash flows.
Notes to Financial Statements, continued
(Unaudited, $ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)
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, 2014 and 2015, we executed confidential settlement agreements with certain defendants in this litigation, pursuant to which we have dismissed all pending claims against, and provided legal releases to, certain entities with respect to all applicable securities at issue in the litigation, in consideration of our receipt of cash payments from or on behalf of those defendants. These payments, net of legal fees and litigation expenses, totaled $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $4,732 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and were recorded in other income. We had previously dismissed the complaint as to the other named defendants. As a result, all proceedings in the RMBS litigation we filed have been concluded.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Presentation
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our 2015 Form 10-K and the Financial Statements and related Notes to Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-Q in Item 1. Financial Statements.
As used in this Item, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us," "our," and the "Bank" refer to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis or its management. We use certain acronyms and terms throughout this Item that are defined in the Glossary of Terms located in Item 1. Financial Statements.
Unless otherwise stated, amounts are rounded to the nearest million; therefore, dollar amounts of less than one million may not be reflected and, due to rounding, may not appear to agree to the amounts presented in thousands in the Financial Statements and related Notes to Financial Statements. Amounts used to calculate dollar and percentage changes are based on numbers in thousands. Accordingly, calculations based upon the disclosed amounts (millions) may not produce the same results.
Executive Summary
Overview. We are a regional wholesale bank that makes secured loans in the form of advances to our members; purchases whole mortgage loans from our members; purchases other investments; and provides other financial services to our members.
We are wholly owned by our member institutions. All member institutions are required to purchase a minimum amount of our Class B capital stock as a condition of membership.
Our principal source of funding is the proceeds from the sale to the public of FHLBank debt instruments, called consolidated obligations, which are the joint and several obligation of all FHLBanks. We obtain additional funds from deposits, other borrowings, and the sale of capital stock to our members.
Our primary source of revenue is interest earned on advances, mortgage loans, and long- and short-term investments.
Our net interest income is primarily determined by the interest spread between the interest 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.
We group our products and services within two operating segments:
• | Traditional, which consists of (i) credit products (including advances, letters of credit, and lines of credit), (ii) investments (including federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell, AFS securities and HTM securities) and (iii) correspondent services and deposits; and |
• | Mortgage loans, which consist of (i) mortgage loans purchased from our members through our MPP and (ii) participation interests purchased from 2012 to 2014 through the FHLBank of Topeka in mortgage loans originated by certain of its PFIs under the MPF Program. |
Economic Environment. The Bank's financial performance is influenced by the level and volatility of market interest rates; national and regional economic conditions; and the strength of housing markets.
In April 2016, the FOMC maintained the federal funds target range at 0.25% to 0.50%, citing a moderate pace of economic activity expansion. Positive trends in household spending, the housing sector and the labor market were partially offset by a softening of business fixed investment and net exports. The FOMC noted that the inflation rate has increased but remains below the 2 percent objective. The FOMC also stated its intent to maintain its accommodative policy of reinvesting principal payments received from its agency debt and MBS holdings. Yields on 10-year U.S. Treasuries declined approximately 60 bps to 1.6% within the first quarter of 2016, and ended the quarter down approximately 45 bps at 1.8%.
U.S. GDP increased at an annual rate of 0.5% for the first quarter of 2016 based on the "advance" estimate by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, slower than the 1.4% growth rate reported for the fourth quarter of 2015. However, personal consumption expenditures and residential fixed investment increased during both periods.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported continued job growth nationally during the first quarter of 2016, with retail trade, construction, and health care leading the growth. The March 2016 unemployment rate of 5.0% continued a pattern of little change in the rate since August 2015. Indiana and Michigan’s preliminary unemployment rates for March 2016 were 5.0% and 4.8%, respectively. The rates for both states were lower than reported for March 2015.
Freddie Mac’s April 2016 Economic and Housing Research Outlook projects continued improvement in the housing market, driven by declining mortgage rates. The national average for the 30-year fixed mortgage rate has followed the recent decline of 10-year Treasury yields. The low mortgage rates and anticipated job growth are projected to support the highest number of home sales since 2006. However, the low current inventory of homes for sale may dampen overall home purchase activity.
Indiana University’s Center for Economic Model Research projects an annual income growth rate for Indiana of 4.9% through 2018, outpacing its national projection of 4.5% for the same period. The unemployment rate is projected to remain fairly stable through 2018. The University of Michigan Research Seminar in Quantitative Economics anticipates reporting Michigan’s job growth rate to have been 3.4% for the first quarter of 2016, and projects a more modest pace of 1.2% to 1.3% through the rest of 2016 and 2017. The report cites professional and business services, construction, and retail trade as among the drivers for continued growth.
Impact on Operating Results. Market interest rates and trends affect our yields and margins on earning assets, including advances, purchased mortgage loans and our investment portfolio, which contribute to our overall profitability. Additionally, market interest rates drive mortgage origination and prepayment activity, which can lead to both favorable and unfavorable interest margin volatility in our MPP and MBS portfolios.
Lending and investing activity by our member institutions is a key driver for our balance sheet and income growth. Such activity is a function of both prevailing interest rates and economic activity. The national economic data suggests positive trends moving at a fairly slow pace.
Local economic factors, particularly relating to the housing market, influence demand for advances and MPP sales activity by our member financial institutions in Indiana and Michigan. Economic data for Indiana and Michigan suggest improving conditions, though at a modest pace.
See Results of Operations and Changes in Financial Condition herein for a detailed discussion of these factors.

The decrease in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was due to net proceeds from litigation settlements received in the first quarter of 2015, but not in the first quarter of 2016, related to certain private-label RMBS.
The decrease in total OCI for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was primarily due to larger unrealized losses on AFS securities in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.

The decrease in total assets at March 31, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015 was attributable to a decrease in advances, partially offset by an increase in investments.
The increase in total liabilities at March 31, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015 was attributable to an increase in MRCS reflecting a reclassification of all of the capital stock held by captive insurance company members as a result of the Final Membership Rule.
The decrease in total capital at March 31, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015 was due to the reclassification of all of the capital stock held by captive insurance company members to MRCS.

(5) | Includes changes in the estimated fair value of AFS securities and the effect of OTTI-related non-credit losses on AFS and HTM securities. |
(6) | Annualized net interest income expressed as a percentage of the average balance of interest-earning assets. |
Yields. The yield on total interest-earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was 1.30%, an increase of 7 bps compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, resulting primarily from higher yields on advances, offset by lower yields on mortgage loans. The decrease in the yields on mortgage loans was due to prepayments of our higher-yielding MPP loans, and the resulting accelerated amortization of purchased premiums. The cost of total interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was 0.96%, an increase of 14 bps from the prior year period due to higher funding costs on consolidated obligations. These changes resulted in a net interest spread that decreased from 0.41% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to 0.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Average Balances. Higher average balances of interest-earning assets offset the impact of lower yields for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The increase in interest-earning assets was largely related to advances. The average amount of advances outstanding increased 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 generally due to members' higher funding needs. Additionally, the average amount of mortgage loans held for portfolio outstanding increased 16% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due to purchases from members under MPP Advantage. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was due to an increase in consolidated obligations to fund the increases in all interest-earning assets.
Provision for Credit Losses. The change in the provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was not material.
Other Income (Loss). The following table presents the components of other income ($ amounts in millions).

The decrease in total other income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was due to the net proceeds in 2015 from a litigation settlement related to certain private-label RMBS.
Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities. For those hedging relationships that qualified for hedge accounting, the differences between the change in the estimated fair value of the hedged items and the change in the estimated fair value of the associated interest rate swaps (hedge ineffectiveness) was a loss of $443 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to a gain of $109 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
For derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting (economic hedges), the net interest settlements and the changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities. For economic hedges, the Bank recorded a net loss of $2 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Operating Segments
Our products and services are grouped within two operating segments: traditional and mortgage loans.
Traditional. The traditional 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 operating segment ($ amounts in millions).

Other expenses | 15 | 15 | ||||||

Net income | $ | 15 | $ | 19 |
The decrease in net income for the traditional segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was due to lower net proceeds from litigation settlements. This decrease was partially offset by higher net interest income as a result of a higher spread on and higher average balance of advances outstanding.
Mortgage Loans. The mortgage loans segment includes (i) mortgage loans purchased from our members through our MPP and (ii) participation interests purchased from 2012 to 2014 through the FHLBank of Topeka in mortgage loans originated by certain of its PFIs under the MPF Program. The following table presents our financial performance for the mortgage loans operating segment ($ amounts in millions).

Net income | $ | 12 | $ | 12 |
The decrease in net income (in thousands only) for the mortgage loans segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was primarily due to a decrease in net interest income resulting from higher funding costs, mainly caused by the accelerated amortization of concession fees associated with the exercise of our call option on certain CO bonds funding our mortgage loan portfolio which were reissued at a lower cost. This increase was partially offset by a lower provision for credit losses and and lower net losses related to derivative and hedging activities.

Total assets were $50.5 billion as of March 31, 2016, a net decrease of $101 million or 0.2% compared to December 31, 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in advances, partially offset by an increase in investment securities, which altered the mix of our assets during the period.
Advances. In general, advances fluctuate in accordance with our members' funding needs related to their deposit levels, mortgage pipelines, investment opportunities, available collateral, balance sheet strategies, and the cost of alternative funding options. Advances at carrying value totaled $25.4 billion at March 31, 2016, a net decrease of $1.5 billion or 5% compared to December 31, 2015. This decrease was due to repayments by depository institutions as well as repayments by certain captive insurance companies in response to the Final Membership Rule.

Under the Final Membership Rule, captive insurance companies that were admitted as FHLBank members on or after September 12, 2014 and do not meet the new definition of "insurance company" or fall within another category of institution that is eligible for FHLBank membership shall have their membership terminated by February 19, 2017. Upon termination, all of their outstanding advances shall be repaid. Those captive insurers collectively held $382 million or 1% of outstanding advances, at par, as of March 31, 2016.
Captive insurance companies that were admitted as FHLBank members prior to September 12, 2014 and do not meet the new definition of "insurance company" or fall within another category of institution that is eligible for FHLBank membership shall have their membership terminated by February 19, 2021. Prior to termination, new advances to such members will be subject to certain restrictions relating to maturity dates and the ratio of advances to the captive insurer's total assets. Those captive insurers collectively held $3.5 billion or 14% of outstanding advances, at par, as of March 31, 2016, with various maturity dates through 2025.
Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio. In general, the volume of mortgage loans purchased is affected by several factors, including interest rates, competition, the general level of housing activity in the United States, the level of refinancing activity, consumer product preferences and regulatory considerations.
A breakdown of mortgage loans held for portfolio by primary product type is presented below ($ amounts in millions).

Total mortgage loans held for portfolio, UPB | $ | 8,141 | 100 | % | $ | 7,982 | 100 | % |
The increase in the UPB of mortgage loans held for portfolio of $159 million was due to purchases of new mortgage loans under MPP Advantage exceeding repayments of outstanding MPP and MPF Program loans. Over time, the outstanding balance of mortgage loans purchased under our original MPP and the MPF Program will continue to decrease.
We have established and maintain an allowance for loan losses based on our best estimate of probable losses over the loss emergence period. Our estimate of MPP losses remaining after borrower's equity was $5 million at March 31, 2016 and $6 million at December 31, 2015. The decrease from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016 was primarily the result of fewer delinquent mortgage loans. After consideration of the portion recoverable under the associated credit enhancements, the resulting allowance for MPP loan losses was less than $1 million at March 31, 2016 and $1 million at December 31, 2015. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses for more information.

Cash and Short-Term Investments. Cash and short-term investments totaled $4.7 billion at March 31, 2016, a decrease of 4% compared to December 31, 2015. Cash and short-term investments as a percent of total assets was 9% at March 31, 2016, compared to 10% at December 31, 2015.
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.
Investment Securities. AFS securities, which consist primarily of GSE and TVA debentures, totaled $5.4 billion at March 31, 2016, a net increase of 32% compared to $4.1 billion at December 31, 2015. Net unrealized gains on AFS securities totaled $25 million at March 31, 2016, a decrease of $6 million compared to December 31, 2015, primarily due to an increase in the amortized cost basis of OTTI MBS not offset by an increase in the fair value; and, to a lesser extent, unfavorable changes in credit spreads and volatility. At March 31, 2016, the percentage of non-MBS AFS securities due in one year or less was 22%, due after one year through five years was 49%, and due after five years was 29%. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 3 - Available-for-Sale Securities for more information.
HTM securities, which consist substantially of MBS, totaled $6.4 billion at March 31, 2016, an increase of 0.5% compared to December 31, 2015. At March 31, 2016, the estimated fair value of our HTM securities in an unrealized loss position totaled $2.8 billion, an increase of 5% from December 31, 2015, primarily due to unfavorable changes in mortgage 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 $48.3 billion at March 31, 2016, a net increase of $48 million or 0.1% compared to December 31, 2015. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in MRCS reflecting a reclassification of all of the capital stock held by captive insurance company members resulting from the Final Membership Rule.
Consolidated Obligations. At March 31, 2016, the carrying values of our discount notes and CO bonds totaled $15.1 billion and $32.0 billion, respectively, compared to $19.3 billion and $27.9 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2015. 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 32% of total consolidated obligations at March 31, 2016, compared to 41% at December 31, 2015. Discount notes are issued to provide short-term funds, while CO bonds are generally issued to provide a longer-term mix of 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 overall balance sheet management strategy.

Derivatives. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had derivative assets, net of collateral held or posted, including accrued interest, with estimated fair values of $84 million and $50 million, respectively, and derivative liabilities, net of collateral held or posted, including accrued interest, with estimated fair values of $118 million and $81 million, respectively. Increases and decreases in the fair value of derivatives are primarily caused by changes in the derivatives' underlying interest-rate index.
The volume of derivative hedges is often expressed in terms of notional amounts, which is the amount upon which interest payments are calculated. The following table highlights the notional amounts by type of hedged item whether or not it is in qualifying hedge relationship ($ amounts in millions).

Total Capital. Total capital was $2.2 billion at March 31, 2016, a net decrease of $148 million or 6% compared to December 31, 2015. This decrease is due primarily to the reclassification of all of the capital stock held by captive insurance company members to MRCS resulting from the Final Membership Rule.
The following tables present a percentage breakdown of the components of GAAP capital along with a reconciliation of GAAP capital to regulatory capital ($ amounts in millions).

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 $4.7 billion at March 31, 2016. During the first three months of 2016, we maintained sufficient access to funding; our net proceeds from the issuance of consolidated obligations totaled $55.9 billion.
We have not identified any trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that are likely to materially increase or decrease our liquidity.
Capital Resources.
Total Regulatory Capital. Our total regulatory capital consists of retained earnings and total regulatory capital stock, which includes Class B capital stock and MRCS. Under GAAP, MRCS is classified as a liability instead of capital.
Our outstanding capital stock, categorized by type of institution, and MRCS are provided in the following table ($ amounts in millions).

As a result of the Final Membership Rule, all of the outstanding Class B stock held by captive insurance company members was reclassified to MRCS. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 12 - Capital for more information.
Excess Stock. Excess stock is capital stock that is not required as a condition of membership or to support outstanding obligations to us of members or former members. In general, the level of excess stock fluctuates with our members' demand for advances. The following table presents the composition of our excess stock ($ amounts in millions).

Capital Distributions. On April 28, 2016, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of 4.25% (annualized) on our putable-Class B-1 capital stock and 3.40% (annualized) on our putable-Class B-2 capital stock.
Adequacy of Capital. At March 31, 2016, our regulatory capital ratio was 4.78%, and our leverage capital ratio was 7.17%, both in excess of the regulatory requirement. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 12 - Capital for more information.
We must maintain sufficient permanent capital to meet the combined credit risk, market risk and operations risk components of the risk-based capital requirement. As presented in the following table, we were in compliance with the risk-based capital requirement at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 ($ amounts in millions).
Risk-Based Capital Components | March 31, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | ||||||

Operations risk | 124 | 116 | ||||||
Total risk-based capital requirement | $ | 539 | $ | 505 | ||||
Permanent capital | $ | 2,413 | $ | 2,377 |
The increase in our risk-based capital requirement was primarily caused by an increase in the credit risk capital component as a result of our purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2016 of GSE debentures and short-term investments. The operations risk capital component is calculated as 30% of the credit and market risk capital components.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At March 31, 2016, mortgage loan principal previously paid in full by our MPP servicers of $3 million 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 four accounting policies that we believe are critical because they require management to make particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These accounting policies relate to:

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our 2015 Form 10-K. See below for additional information regarding certain of these policies.
Provision for Credit Losses.
Mortgage Loans Acquired under the MPP. Our allowance for loan losses incorporates our analysis of delinquent conventional MPP loans, using the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, further reduced by estimated liquidation costs.
We also performed our loan loss analysis at December 31, 2015 under an adverse scenario whereby we increased the haircut on our underlying collateral values to 45% for delinquent conventional loans, including individually evaluated loans. While holding all other assumptions constant, such scenario would have increased our allowance by approximately $0.4 million at December 31, 2015. We consider a haircut of 45% on the modeled values to be the lowest value that is reasonably possible to occur over the loss emergence period of 24 months. We continue to monitor the appropriateness of this adverse scenario on a quarterly basis.
After evaluating this adverse scenario, we determined that the likelihood of incurring losses resulting from this scenario during the next 24 months was not probable. Therefore, the allowance for loan losses is based upon our best estimate of the probable losses over the next 24 months that would not be recovered from the credit enhancements.
These estimates require significant judgments, especially considering the inability to readily determine the fair value of all underlying properties and the uncertainty in other macroeconomic factors that make estimating defaults and severity increasingly imprecise.
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Analysis. In addition to evaluating our private-label RMBS under a best estimate scenario, we perform a cash flow analysis for each of these securities under a more stressful housing price scenario. This more stressful scenario is primarily based on a short-term housing price forecast, which is 5% lower than the best estimate scenario, followed by a recovery path with annual rates of housing price growth that are 33% lower than the best estimate.
The actual OTTI-related credit losses recognized in earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 were $0. Under the more stressful scenario, the OTTI-related credit losses estimate would have been $12 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.
Additional information regarding OTTI of our private-label RMBS and ABS is provided in Notes to Financial Statements - Note 5 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment.
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.
Joint Proposed Rule on Incentive-Based Compensation Arrangements. On April 26, 2016, the Finance Agency, jointly with five other federal regulators, issued the rule contemplated by Section 956 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which requires implementation of regulations or guidelines to (i) prohibit incentive-based payment arrangements that these regulators determine encourage inappropriate risks by certain financial institutions by providing excessive compensation or that could lead to material financial loss, and (ii) require those financial institutions to disclose information concerning incentive-based compensation arrangements to the appropriate federal regulator.
The proposed rule identifies three categories of institutions that would be covered by these regulations based on average total consolidated assets, applying less prescriptive incentive-based compensation program requirements to the smallest covered institutions (Level 3) and progressively more rigorous requirements to the larger covered institutions (Level 1). The proposed rule specifies that the Bank would fall into the middle category, Level 2. The proposed rule would supplement existing Finance Agency executive compensation rules.
The proposed rule would prohibit us from establishing or maintaining incentive-based compensation arrangements that encourage inappropriate risks by "senior executive officers" and "significant risk-takers" (each as defined in the proposed rule, and together, "covered persons") that could lead to a material financial loss to the Bank.
If adopted in its current form, the proposed rule would, among other things, impose requirements regarding our incentive-based compensation arrangements for covered persons, related to:
• | mandatory deferrals of 50 percent and 40 percent of annual incentive-based compensation payments for senior executive officers and significant risk takers, respectively, over no less than 3 years; |
• | risk of downward adjustment and forfeiture of awards; |
• | clawbacks of vested compensation; and |
• | limits on the maximum incentive-based compensation opportunity. |
Comments are due on the proposed rule by July 22, 2016. We are currently assessing the effect of the proposed rule.
Risk Management
We have exposure to a number of risks in pursuing our business objectives. These risks may be broadly classified as market, credit, liquidity, operational, and business. Market risk is discussed in detail in Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Management in our 2015 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 55% and 53% of total advances at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. On March 18, 2016, the board of directors modified the initial borrowing limit for insurance company members (excluding captive insurance companies) to 25% of their total general account assets less money borrowed. As of March 31, 2016, we had advances outstanding, at par, of $0.5 billion to two of our insurance company members whose total credit products exceeded 25% of their general account assets, net of money borrowed. Credit extensions to insurance company members whose total credit products exceed this threshold require an additional approval by our Bank as provided in our credit policy. The approval is based upon a number of factors that may include the member's financial condition, collateral quality, business plan and earnings stability. We also monitor these members more closely on an ongoing basis.
Effective February 19, 2016, new or renewed credit extensions for captive insurance companies that became members prior to September 12, 2014 cannot, per the Final Membership Rule, exceed 40% of the member's total assets. As of March 31, 2016, one such captive insurance company member exceeded that limit and therefore is not eligible for additional credit products until its outstanding borrowings fall below the limit.
Concentration. Our credit risk is magnified due to the concentration of advances in a few borrowers. As of March 31, 2016, our top two borrowers held 21% of total advances outstanding, at par, and our top five borrowers held 44% 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.
Investments. We are also exposed to credit risk through our investment portfolios. The ERMP restricts the acquisition of investments to high-quality, short-term money market instruments and high-quality long-term securities.
Short-Term Investments. Our short-term investment portfolio at March 31, 2016 included securities purchased under agreements to resell that mature overnight and are secured by U.S. Treasuries. Our unsecured credit exposure to United States branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks was limited to federal funds sold.
The following table presents the unsecured investment credit exposures to private counterparties, categorized by the domicile of the counterparty's parent, based on the lowest of the NRSRO long-term credit ratings of the counterparty, stated in terms of the S&P equivalent. The table does not reflect the foreign sovereign government's credit rating ($ amounts in millions).

Total unsecured credit exposure | $ | 1,690 | $ | 1,400 | $ | 3,090 |
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 were 290% of total regulatory capital at March 31, 2016. 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 subsequent changes in ratings, outlook, or watch status ($ amounts in millions).

Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio.
PMI. As of March 31, 2016, we had PMI coverage on $800 million or 11% of our conventional MPP mortgage loans. For a conventional loan, PMI, if applicable, covers losses or exposure down to approximately an LTV ratio between 65% and 80% based upon the original appraisal, original LTV ratio, term, and amount of PMI coverage.
LRA. The following table presents the changes in the LRA for original MPP and MPP Advantage ($ amounts in millions).

SMI. As of March 31, 2016, we were the beneficiary of SMI coverage, under our original MPP, on conventional mortgage pools with a total UPB of $1.3 billion. Two mortgage insurance companies provide all of the SMI coverage.
Mortgage Loan Characteristics. Two indicators of credit quality are LTV ratios and credit scores provided by FICO®. FICO® provides a commonly used measure to assess a borrower’s credit quality, with scores ranging from a low of 300 to a high of 850. The combination of a lower FICO® score and a higher LTV ratio is a key driver of potential mortgage delinquencies and defaults. As of March 31, 2016, 97% of the borrowers in our conventional loan portfolio had FICO® scores greater than 680 at origination and 85% had an LTV ratio of 80% or lower. We believe these measures indicate that these loans have a low risk of default.
Derivatives. Our over-the-counter derivative transactions are either (i) executed with a counterparty (uncleared 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 2015 Form 10-K for more information.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As used in this Item, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us," "our," and the "Bank" refer to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis or its management. We use certain acronyms and terms throughout this Item that are defined in the Glossary of Terms located in Item 1. Financial Statements.
Measuring Market Risks
We utilize multiple risk measurements, including duration of equity, duration gap, convexity, VaR, earnings at risk, and changes in MVE, 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.
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 | |||

December 31, 2015 | 127 |
Certain Market and Interest-Rate Risk Metrics under Potential Interest-Rate Scenarios. We also monitor the sensitivities of MVE and the duration of equity to potential interest-rate scenarios. The following table presents certain market and interest-rate metrics under different interest-rate scenarios ($ amounts in millions).

Duration of equity (2) | (2.9) | 1.2 | 2.4 | 2.6 | 3.2 |
(1) | Given the current environment of low interest rates, we have adjusted the downward rate shocks to prevent the assumed interest rate from becoming negative. |
(2) | The increase in the base case duration of equity compared to December 31, 2015 was partly due to changes in the market rate environment. This resulted in the shortening of the duration of both assets and liabilities; however, the duration of our liabilities shortened more than the duration of assets, which lengthened the duration of equity. |
Duration Gap. The base case duration gap was 1.2 months at March 31, 2016, compared to 0.7 months at December 31, 2015. The causes of this change are the same as the causes of the change in the duration 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 March 31, 2016, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer), Chief Financial Officer (the principal financial officer), and Chief Accounting Officer (the principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2016.
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.
