FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF DALLAS

NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim financial statements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (the “Bank”) are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions provided by Article 10, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The financial statements contain all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Bank’s 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.

The Bank’s significant accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. The interim financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the Bank’s audited financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the Bank’s amended Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 14, 2006 (the “Amended Form 10”). The notes to the interim financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the Amended Form 10.

The Bank is one of 12 district Federal Home Loan Banks, each individually a “FHLBank” and collectively the “FHLBanks,” and, together with the Office of Finance, a joint office of the FHLBanks, the “FHLBank System.” The Office of Finance manages the sale and servicing of the FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations. The Federal Housing Finance Board (“Finance Board”), an independent agency in the executive branch of the United States Government, supervises and regulates the FHLBanks and the Office of Finance.

Use of Estimates.The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. Significant estimates include the valuations of the Bank’s investment securities classified as trading and available-for-sale, and its derivative instruments and any associated hedged items. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 — Change in Accounting Principle

During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Bank elected to change its method of accounting for the amortization and accretion of mortgage loan premiums and discounts under SFAS No. 91,“Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases”(“SFAS 91”). The change was made effective as of January 1, 2005. Previously, amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts associated with the Bank’s mortgage loans held for portfolio were computed using the retrospective method. Under this method, the income effects of premiums and discounts were recognized using the interest method over the estimated lives of the assets, which required a retrospective adjustment of the effective yield each time the Bank changed its estimate of the loan life, based on actual prepayments received and changes in expected future prepayments. Under the retrospective method, the net investment in the loans was adjusted as if the new estimate had been known since the original acquisition of the assets. Effective January 1, 2005, the Bank began amortizing premiums and accreting discounts using the contractual method. The contractual method uses the cash flows required by the loan contracts, as adjusted for any actual prepayments, to apply the interest method. Under the new method, future prepayments of principal are not anticipated. While both methods are acceptable under generally accepted accounting principles, the Bank believes that the contractual method is preferable to the retrospective method because, under the contractual method, the income effects of premiums and discounts are recognized in a manner that is reflective of the actual behavior of the mortgage loans during the period in which the behavior occurs while also reflecting the contractual terms of the assets without regard to changes in estimated prepayments based upon assumptions about future borrower behavior.

As a result of the change in method of amortizing premiums and accreting discounts on mortgage loans, the Bank recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle effective January 1, 2005. Net of assessments, this change reduced the Bank’s net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005 by $908,000. In addition, the retroactive application of the contractual method increased interest income and reduced the Bank’s loss before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for the three months ended June 30, 2005 by $398,000 and $292,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the retroactive application of the contractual method increased interest income and reduced the Bank’s loss before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle by $366,000 and $268,000, respectively.

Note 3 — Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations

SFAS 154.In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 154,“Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3”(“SFAS 154”). Among other things, SFAS 154 requires retrospective application, unless impracticable, to prior periods’ financial statements of voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 also makes a distinction between “retrospective application” of a change in accounting principle and the “restatement” of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. SFAS 154 carries forward without change the guidance contained in APB Opinion No. 20 for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and a change in accounting estimate. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Bank adopted SFAS 154 on January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 154 has thus far not had any impact on the Bank’s results of operations or financial condition as no accounting changes have been made since January 1, 2006.

DIG Issues B38 and B39.In June 2005, the FASB’s Derivatives Implementation Group (“DIG”) issued DIG Issue B38,“Embedded Derivatives: Evaluation of Net Settlement with Respect to the Settlement of a Debt Instrument through Exercise of an Embedded Put Option or Call Option”(“DIG B38”), and DIG Issue B39,“Embedded Derivatives: Application ofParagraph 13(b) to Call Options That Are Exercisable Only by the Debtor”(“DIG B39”). Both issues provide additional guidance in applying the provisions of SFAS 133. The guidance in DIG B38 clarifies that the potential settlement of an obligation upon exercise of a put option or call option (including a prepayment option) meets the net settlement criterion of a derivative. DIG B39 clarifies that a right to accelerate the settlement of an obligation is considered clearly and closely related to the debt host contract if the respective embedded call option can be exercised only by the debtor (issuer/borrower). The Bank adopted both DIG issues as of January 1, 2006 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Bank’s results of operations or financial condition.

FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1.In November 2005, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1,“The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”(“FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1”), which addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 clarifies that an investor should recognize an impairment loss no later than when the impairment is deemed other than temporary, even if a decision to sell has not been made. FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The Bank adopted FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 as of January 1, 2006 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Bank’s results of operations or financial condition.

SFAS 155.In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”(“SFAS 155”). SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 to simplify the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting (through an irrevocable election) fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided the hybrid financial instrument is measured in its entirety at fair value (with changes in fair value recognized currently in earnings). SFAS 155 also establishes a requirement to evaluate beneficial interests in securitized financial assets to determine whether they are freestanding derivatives or whether they are hybrid

instruments that contain embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation. This guidance replaces the interim guidance in DIG Issue D1,“Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.”SFAS 155 also amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125”to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including financial statements for any interim period for that fiscal year. The Bank elected to adopt SFAS 155 as of January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 155 has thus far not had any impact on the Bank’s results of operations or financial condition as the Bank has not elected to apply the fair value measurement option to any hybrid financial instruments.

Amortizing advances require repayment according to predetermined amortization schedules.

The Bank offers advances to members that may be prepaid on specified dates without incurring prepayment or termination fees (prepayable and callable advances). Other advances may only be prepaid by paying a fee to the Bank (prepayment fee) that makes the Bank financially indifferent to the prepayment of the advance. At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Bank had prepayable and callable advances totaling $144,193,000 and $133,051,000, respectively.

Note 9 — Consolidated Obligations

Consolidated obligations are the joint and several obligations of the FHLBanks and consist of consolidated bonds and discount notes. The FHLBanks issue consolidated obligations through the Office of Finance as their agent. In connection with each debt issuance, each FHLBank specifies the amount of debt it wants issued on its behalf. The Bank records on its balance sheet only that portion of the consolidated obligations for which it is the primary obligor. The Bank is the primary obligor for the portion of bonds and discount notes for which it has received the proceeds (i.e., those issued on its behalf). Consolidated obligation bonds are issued primarily to raise intermediate and long-term funds for the FHLBanks and are not subject to any statutory or regulatory limits on maturity. Consolidated obligation discount notes are issued primarily to raise short-term funds and have maturities of one year or less. These notes sell at less than their face amount and are redeemed at par value when they mature. For additional information regarding the FHLBanks’ joint and several liability, see Note 13.

The par amounts of the FHLBanks’ outstanding consolidated obligations, including consolidated obligations issued by other FHLBanks, were approximately $958.6 billion and $937.5 billion at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005,

respectively. The Bank was the primary obligor on $50.5 billion and $57.8 billion (at par value), respectively, of these consolidated obligations.

Stockholders are required to maintain an investment in Class B stock equal to the sum of a membership investment requirement and an activity-based investment requirement. As of June 30, 2006, the membership investment requirement was 0.08 percent of each member’s total assets as of December 31, 2005 (and as of each December 31 thereafter), subject to a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $25,000,000. At that same date, the activity-based investment requirement was 4.10 percent of outstanding advances, plus 4.10 percent of the outstanding principal balance of any Mortgage Partnership Finance^® (“MPF”^®) loans that were delivered pursuant to master commitments executed after September 2, 2003 and retained on the Bank’s balance sheet (of which there were none).

On March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, the Bank paid dividends at annualized rates of 4.45 percent and 4.91 percent, respectively. Consistent with past practice, these dividends were paid in the form of capital stock (except for fractional shares, which were paid in cash).

The Bank generally repurchases surplus stock at the end of the month following the end of each calendar quarter (e.g., January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31). From the implementation of this practice in October 2003 through the repurchase that occurred on November 30, 2005, surplus stock was defined as the amount of stock held by a member in excess of 120 percent of the member’s minimum investment requirement. For the repurchases

that occurred on January 31, 2006 and April 28, 2006, surplus stock was defined as stock in excess of 115 percent of the member’s minimum investment requirement. Beginning with the repurchase that occurred on July 31, 2006, surplus stock is defined as stock in excess of 110 percent of the member’s minimum investment requirement. The Bank’s practice has been that a member’s surplus stock will not be repurchased if the amount of surplus stock is $250,000 or less. On April 28, 2006 and July 31, 2006, the Bank repurchased surplus stock totaling $91,078,000 and $120,241,000, respectively, of which $1,665,000 and $2,242,000, respectively, had been classified as mandatorily redeemable capital stock as of those dates.

Note 12—Derivatives and Hedging Activities

During the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Bank recorded net losses on derivatives and hedging activities of $1,034,000 and $139,413,000, respectively, in other income (loss). During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Bank recorded net losses on derivatives and hedging activities of $4,058,000 and $148,686,000, respectively. The components of net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were as follows (in thousands):

The notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements reflects the involvement of the Bank in various classes of financial instruments. The notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements does not measure the credit risk exposure to the Bank, and the maximum credit exposure to the Bank is substantially less than the notional amount. The maximum credit risk is the estimated cost of replacing favorable interest rate swaps and purchased interest rate caps if the counterparty defaults, and the related collateral, if any, is of no value to the Bank.

At June 30, 2006, the Bank had no credit risk, as defined above. In determining maximum credit risk, the Bank considers accrued interest receivables and payables, and the legal right to offset assets and liabilities, by counterparty. At December 31, 2005, the Bank’s maximum credit risk was approximately $638,000. The Bank held as collateral cash balances of $448,000 as of December 31, 2005.

Note 13—Commitments and Contingencies

Joint and several liability.The Bank is jointly and severally liable with the other FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on all of the consolidated obligations issued by the FHLBank System. At June 30, 2006, the par amount of the FHLBank System’s outstanding consolidated obligations, including consolidated obligations issued by the Bank, was approximately $958.6 billion. The Finance Board, in its discretion, may require any FHLBank to make principal or interest payments due on any consolidated obligation, regardless of whether there has been a default by a FHLBank having primary liability. To the extent that a FHLBank makes any consolidated obligation payment on behalf of another FHLBank, the paying FHLBank is entitled to reimbursement from the FHLBank with primary liability. However, if the Finance Board determines that the primary obligor is unable to satisfy its obligations, then the Finance Board may allocate the outstanding liability among the remaining FHLBanks on a pro rata basis in proportion to each FHLBank’s participation in all consolidated obligations outstanding, or on any other basis that the Finance Board may determine. No FHLBank has ever failed to make any payment on a consolidated obligation for which it was the primary obligor; as a result, the regulatory provisions for directing other FHLBanks to make payments on behalf of another FHLBank or allocating the liability among other FHLBanks have never been invoked. If the Bank were to determine that a loss was probable under its joint and several liability and the amount of such loss could be reasonably estimated, the Bank would charge to income the amount of the expected loss under the provisions of SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” Based upon the creditworthiness of the other FHLBanks, the Bank currently believes that the likelihood of a loss is remote.

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.During the third quarter of 2005, two significant hurricanes struck the Gulf Coast of the United States. On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall near New Orleans, Louisiana

causing substantial damage to coastal areas of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Then, on September 24, 2005, Hurricane Rita made landfall near the Louisiana-Texas border causing significant but less substantial damage in southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas.

These storms had varying degrees of impact on the Bank’s members and MPF mortgage loan borrowers in the affected areas. At the time the hurricanes struck, approximately 210 of the Bank’s member institutions were headquartered in the areas that were subsequently designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) for both individual and public assistance. Since the storms hit, the Bank has been evaluating the potential impact that damage related to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita might have on its advances, letters of credit, mortgage loans held for portfolio, and non-agency MBS investments. Letters of credit have been included in the Bank’s analysis as if they were advances because a letter of credit would be converted into an advance in the event a member were to default on its obligation to the beneficiary. For the same reason, the Bank requires letters of credit to be collateralized at issuance as if they were advances.

The primary source of repayment of advances (including those that may be created when letters of credit have been funded) is the borrowing members’ net worth and paying capacity. In the event a member is unable to repay its advances, a secondary source of repayment is the collateral pledged by the member. The Bank has reviewed the available financial reports and collateral position of member institutions that operate primarily in the affected areas, including those that the Bank has identified as potentially having a relatively greater degree of difficulty recovering from the hurricanes. At this time, all principal and interest amounts on the Bank’s advances have been received in accordance with the contractual terms of the applicable agreements. In addition, the Bank has not been required to fund any letters of credit. Although the ultimate impact of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita is uncertain, based on its assessment of the information available at this time, the Bank does not currently expect to incur any losses on advances or letters of credit as a result of such storms.

At June 30, 2006, the Bank held interests totaling $28.0 million in conventional mortgage loans acquired through the MPF program and held for portfolio that were collateralized by properties located in the areas that had been designated by FEMA for both individual and public assistance. This amount included approximately $10.0 million of interests in loans collateralized by properties located in the hardest hit counties and parishes in Mississippi and Louisiana. Under the terms of the MPF program, all mortgagors are required to carry hazard insurance and, if the property is located in a federal government-designated flood zone, they must also carry flood insurance. Although the ultimate impact of the hurricanes may not be known with certainty for some time, based on its analysis of the information available at this time and the credit enhancement features of the MPF program, the Bank does not currently expect to incur any material losses on its mortgage loans held for portfolio as a result of the storms. The most recent aging of loans secured by properties located in the FEMA-designated areas indicates that the Bank has no interests in loans 90 days or more past due, a $25,000 interest in loans 60 – 89 days past due, and a $35,000 interest in loans 30 – 59 days past due.

The Bank also owns several non-agency residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) that are collateralized in part by loans on properties that are located in the affected areas. Credit support for the senior tranches of these securities held by the Bank is provided by subordinated tranches that absorb losses before the senior tranches held by the Bank would be affected. The amount of loans in the affected areas that are part of the Bank’s residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities portfolios represents only a small fraction of the subordinated tranches that provide credit support for the senior tranches held by the Bank. As of June 30, 2006, all of the Bank’s MBS investments were rated triple-A. Therefore, at this time, the Bank does not anticipate any losses in its MBS portfolio related to Hurricanes Katrina or Rita.

The Bank is continuing to monitor the impact of the hurricanes on its advances (including those that may be created if a letter of credit is required to be funded), mortgage loans held for portfolio and non-agency MBS investments. If information becomes available indicating that any of these assets has been impaired and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Bank will record appropriate reserves at that time.

Other commitments and contingencies.Commitments that legally bind and unconditionally obligate the Bank for additional advances totaled approximately $116,425,000 and $155,746,000 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. In addition, outstanding standby letters of credit totaled $2,761,924,000 and $2,755,708,000 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

The Bank had no commitments to fund/purchase mortgage loans at June 30, 2006 or December 31, 2005.

At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Bank had commitments to issue $165,000,000 and $15,000,000, respectively, of consolidated obligation bonds/discount notes.

The Bank executes interest rate exchange agreements with major banks and broker-dealers with whom it has bilateral collateral agreements. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Bank had pledged, as collateral, cash with a book value of $513,647,000 and $384,428,000, respectively, to derivative counterparties who have market risk exposure related to interest rate exchange agreements with the Bank; at those dates, the Bank had no securities pledged as collateral. The pledged cash collateral is reported in interest-bearing deposits (assets) in the statements of condition.

In the ordinary course of its business, the Bank is subject to the risk that litigation may arise. Currently, the Bank is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Note 14— Transactions with Shareholders

An affiliate of one of the Bank’s counterparties (Citigroup) acquired a member institution on March 31, 2005. The Bank has continued to enter into interest rate exchange agreements with Citigroup in the normal course of business and under the same terms and conditions since that acquisition was completed. In addition, at June 30, 2006, the Bank held previously purchased mortgage-backed securities with a carrying value of $27.6 million that were issued by one or more entities that are now part of Citigroup and $186.9 million (carrying value) of mortgage-backed securities issued by an affiliate of Washington Mutual Bank (a non-member borrower/stockholder) that were acquired after issuance from a third party.

Note 15 — Transactions with Other FHLBanks

Occasionally, the Bank loans (or borrows) overnight funds to (from) other FHLBanks. There were no such loans to other FHLBanks during the six months ended June 30, 2006. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, interest income on loans to other FHLBanks totaled $171,000 and $263,000, respectively. The following table summarizes the Bank’s loans to other FHLBanks during the six months ended June 30, 2005 (in thousands).

The Bank’s investment securities portfolio includes consolidated obligations for which other FHLBanks are the primary obligors and for which the Bank is jointly and severally liable. The balances of these investments are presented in Note 5. All of these consolidated obligations were purchased in the secondary market from third parties and are accounted for in the same manner as other similarly classified investments. Interest income earned on these consolidated obligations of other FHLBanks totaled $624,000 and $882,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $1,241,000 and $1,748,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The Bank may, from time to time, assume the outstanding debt of another FHLBank rather than issue new debt. In connection with these transactions, the Bank becomes the primary obligor for the transferred debt. There were no such transfers during the six months ended June 30, 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Bank assumed consolidated obligation bonds from the FHLBank of Chicago with a par amount of $250,000,000. The net premium associated with this transaction was $1,634,000.

The Bank receives participation fees from the FHLBank of Chicago for mortgage loans that are originated by certain of the Bank’s members (participating financial institutions) and purchased by the FHLBank of Chicago through the MPF program. These fees totaled $71,000 and $84,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, these fees totaled $125,000 and $202,000, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in “Item 1. Financial Statements.”

Forward-Looking Information

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that reflect current beliefs and expectations of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (the “Bank”) about its future results, performance, liquidity, financial condition, prospects and opportunities. These statements are identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “expects,” “intends” or their negatives or other similar terms. The Bank cautions that forward-looking statements involve risks or uncertainties that could cause the Bank’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements, or could affect the extent to which a particular objective, projection, estimate, or prediction is realized. As a result, undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, evolving economic and market conditions, political events, and the impact of competitive business forces. The risks and uncertainties related to evolving economic and market conditions include, but are not limited to, potentially adverse changes in interest rates, adverse changes in the Bank’s access to the capital markets, material adverse changes in the cost of the Bank’s debt, adverse consequences resulting from a significant regional or national economic downturn, credit and prepayment risks, or changes in the financial health of the Bank’s members or non-member borrowers. Among other things, political events could possibly lead to changes in the Bank’s regulatory environment or its status as a government-sponsored enterprise (“GSE”), or to changes in the regulatory environment for the Bank’s members or non-member borrowers. Risks and uncertainties related to competitive business forces include, but are not limited to, the potential loss of large members or large borrowers through acquisitions or other means, or changes in the relative competitiveness of the Bank’s products and services for member institutions. For a more detailed discussion of the risk factors applicable to the Bank, see “Item 1A – Risk Factors” in the Bank’s amended Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 14, 2006 (the “Amended Form 10”) and “Item 1A – Risk Factors” in Part II of this quarterly report. The Bank undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances, or any other reason.

Overview

The Bank is one of 12 district Federal Home Loan Banks, each individually a “FHLBank” and collectively the “FHLBanks” and, together with the Office of Finance, a joint office of the FHLBanks, the “FHLBank System.” The FHLBanks serve the public by enhancing the availability of credit for residential mortgages, community lending, and targeted community development. As independent, member-owned cooperatives, the FHLBanks seek to maintain a balance between their public purpose and their ability to provide adequate returns on the capital supplied by their members. The Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board), an independent agency in the executive branch of the United States Government, supervises and regulates the FHLBanks and the Office of Finance. The Finance Board ensures that the FHLBanks operate in a safe and sound manner, carry out their housing finance mission, remain adequately capitalized, and are able to raise funds in the capital markets.

The Bank serves eligible financial institutions in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas (collectively, the Ninth District of the FHLBank System). The Bank’s primary business is lending low cost funds (known as advances) to its member institutions, which include commercial banks, thrifts, insurance companies and credit unions. The Bank also maintains a portfolio of highly rated investments for liquidity purposes and to provide additional earnings. Additionally, the Bank holds interests in a portfolio of government-insured and conventional mortgage loans that were acquired through the Mortgage Partnership Finance^® (“MPF”^®) Program offered by the FHLBank of Chicago. Shareholders’ return on their investment includes dividends (which have historically been paid quarterly in the form of capital stock) and the value derived from access to the Bank’s products and services. The Bank balances the financial rewards to shareholders by seeking to pay a dividend that meets or exceeds the

return on alternative short-term money market investments available to shareholders, while lending funds at the lowest rates expected to be compatible with that objective and its objective to build retained earnings over time.

The Bank’s capital stock is not publicly traded and can only be held by members of the Bank, or by non-member institutions that acquire stock by virtue of acquiring member institutions and former members of the Bank that retain capital stock either to support advances or other activity that remain outstanding or until any applicable stock redemption or withdrawal notice period expires. All members must purchase stock in the Bank. The Bank’s capital stock has a par value of $100 per share and is purchased, redeemed, repurchased and transferred (with the prior approval of the Bank) only at its par value. Members may redeem excess stock, or withdraw from membership and redeem all outstanding capital stock, with five years’ written notice to the Bank.

The FHLBanks’ debt instruments (known as consolidated obligations) are their primary source of funds and are the joint and several obligations of all 12 FHLBanks. Consolidated obligations are issued on a continuous basis through the Office of Finance acting as agent for the FHLBanks, and are publicly traded in the over-the-counter market. The Bank records on its balance sheet only those consolidated obligations for which it is the primary obligor. Consolidated obligations enjoy GSE status; however, they are not obligations of the United States Government and the United States Government does not guarantee them. Consolidated obligations are rated Aaa/P-1 by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) and AAA/A-1+ by Standard & Poors (“S&P”), which are the highest ratings available from these nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”). These ratings indicate that Moody’s and S&P have concluded that the FHLBanks have an extremely strong capacity to meet their commitments to pay principal and interest on consolidated obligations, and that consolidated obligations are judged to be of the highest quality, with minimal credit risk. The ratings also reflect the FHLBank System’s status as a GSE. Shareholders, bondholders and prospective members should understand that these ratings are not a recommendation to buy, hold or sell securities and they may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the NRSRO. Each of the ratings from the NRSROs should be evaluated independently. Historically, the FHLBanks’ GSE status and highest available credit ratings on consolidated obligations have provided the FHLBanks with excellent capital markets access. Deposits, other borrowings and the proceeds from capital stock issued to members provide other funds to the Bank.

In addition to ratings on the FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations, each FHLBank is rated individually by both S&P and Moody’s. These individual FHLBank ratings apply to obligations of the respective FHLBanks, such as interest rate derivatives, deposits, or letters of credit issued by the FHLBank. As of August 1, 2006, Moody’s had assigned a deposit rating of Aaa / P-1 to each individual FHLBank and no FHLBanks were on its Watchlist (which would indicate that ratings were under review for possible change). As of that same date, S&P had assigned long-term counterparty credit ratings of AAA/A-1+ to nine FHLBanks (including the Bank) and AA+/A-1+ to three FHLBanks. In addition, S&P had assigned negative outlooks to three FHLBanks rated AAA/A-1+ (including the Bank) and two FHLBanks rated AA+/A-1+ and its AAA long-term counterparty credit rating on one of the FHLBanks was on CreditWatch with negative implications. The Bank’s outlook was revised from stable to negative in August 2005 in response to the Bank’s announcement on August 22, 2005 that it would restate its previously issued financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001 and that it had sold approximately $1.2 billion (par value) of investment securities. At the time S&P placed its AAA long-term counterparty credit rating on one of the FHLBanks on CreditWatch with negative implications (April 25, 2006), it indicated that, should there be a near-term rating action, it did not anticipate lowering that FHLBank’s rating by more than one notch to AA+.

Since June 30, 2004, two FHLBanks have entered into written agreements with the Finance Board that address what the agency described as “certain shortcomings” in various of those FHLBanks’ practices. The written agreements are available on the Finance Board’s web site atwww.fhfb.gov.

Neither the ratings actions or written agreements described above, nor the events or developments at the affected FHLBanks that precipitated those actions, have had or are expected to have an impact on the FHLBanks’ ability to issue debt in the financial markets, nor have they raised or are they expected to raise concerns regarding potential losses under the Bank’s joint and several liability. Therefore, while there can be no assurances about the future, based on the information available at this time, the Bank has no reason to believe that these developments will have a material impact on the Bank’s financial condition or liquidity in the foreseeable future.

The Bank conducts its business and fulfills its public purpose primarily by acting as a financial intermediary between its members and the capital markets. The intermediation of the timing, structure, and amount of its members’ credit needs with the investment requirements of the Bank’s creditors is made possible by the extensive use of interest rate exchange agreements, including interest rate swaps, caps and floors. The Bank’s interest rate exchange agreements are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,”as amended by SFAS No. 137, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133,” SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities,”SFAS No. 149,“Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”and SFAS No. 155,“Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”and as interpreted by the Derivatives Implementation Group (hereinafter collectively referred to as “SFAS 133”).

The Bank’s earnings, exclusive of gains on the sales of investment securities, if any, and fair value adjustments required by SFAS 133, are generated almost entirely from net interest income and tend to rise and fall with the overall level of interest rates, particularly short-term money market rates. Because the Bank is a cooperatively owned, wholesale institution operating on aggregate net interest spreads typically in the 15 to 20 basis point range (including net interest payments on interest rate exchange agreements designated as economic hedges and excluding the effects of interest expense on mandatorily redeemable capital stock and fair value basis adjustments required by SFAS 133), the spread component of its interest income is much smaller than a typical commercial bank, and a much larger portion of its net interest income is derived from the investment of its capital. Because the Bank’s interest rate risk profile is typically fairly neutral, which means that its capital is effectively invested in shorter-term assets, the Bank’s earnings and returns on capital (exclusive of gains on the sales of investment securities, if any, and fair value adjustments required by SFAS 133) tend to follow short-term interest rates. As a result, the Bank’s profitability objective has been to achieve a rate of return on members’ capital stock investment sufficient to allow the Bank to meet its retained earnings targets and pay dividends on capital stock at rates that equal or exceed the average effective federal funds rate. The following table summarizes the average effective federal funds rate, the Bank’s return on capital stock and the Bank’s dividend payment rate for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 (all percentages are annualized figures; percentages for the six-month periods represent weighted average rates).

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita

During the third quarter of 2005, two significant hurricanes struck the Gulf Coast of the United States. On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall near New Orleans, Louisiana causing substantial damage to coastal areas of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Then, on September 24, 2005, Hurricane Rita made landfall near the Louisiana-Texas border causing significant but less substantial damage in southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas.

At June 30, 2006, the Bank held interests totaling $28.0 million in conventional mortgage loans acquired through the MPF Program and held for portfolio that were collateralized by properties located in the areas that had been designated by FEMA for both individual and public assistance. This amount included approximately $10.0 million of interests in loans collateralized by properties located in the hardest hit counties and parishes in Mississippi and

Louisiana. These balances represented 5.7 percent and 2.0 percent, respectively, of the Bank’s mortgage loans held for portfolio as of June 30, 2006. Under the terms of the MPF Program, all mortgagors are required to carry hazard insurance and, if the property is located in a federal government-designated flood zone, they must also carry flood insurance. Although the ultimate impact of the hurricanes may not be known with certainty for some time, based on its analysis of the information available at this time and the credit enhancement features of the MPF Program, the Bank does not currently expect to incur any material losses on its mortgage loans held for portfolio as a result of the storms. The most recent aging of loans secured by properties located in the FEMA-designated areas indicates that the Bank has no interests in loans 90 days or more past due, a $25,000 interest in loans 60 – 89 days past due, and a $35,000 interest in loans 30 – 59 days past due.

Proposed Regulatory Changes

On March 15, 2006, the Finance Board published for comment a proposed regulation entitled“Excess Stock Restrictions and Retained Earnings Requirements for the Federal Home Loan Banks”(the “Proposed Regulation”). If adopted in its current form, the Proposed Regulation would establish a minimum retained earnings requirement for each FHLBank, limit the amount of excess stock that FHLBanks could have outstanding, and impose new restrictions on the amount, timing and form of dividends that FHLBanks could pay to their shareholders. Key provisions of the Proposed Regulation would:

	•		establish a minimum retained earnings requirement equal to $50 million plus 1.0 percent of a FHLBank’s average balance of non-advances assets;

	•		for FHLBanks that have not achieved initial compliance with the minimum retained earnings requirement, limit the amount of dividends that the FHLBank could pay without Finance Board approval to 50 percent of the FHLBank’s quarterly net income;

	•		for FHLBanks that have achieved initial compliance with the minimum retained earnings requirement, prohibit the payment of dividends without Finance Board approval if the FHLBank’s retained earnings subsequently fall below its minimum requirement;

	•		require each FHLBank to declare and pay dividends only after the close of the quarter to which the dividend payment pertains and the FHLBank’s earnings for that quarter have been calculated;

	•		prohibit the payment of dividends in the form of capital stock;

	•		limit the aggregate amount of stock held by shareholders in excess of their minimum investment requirements (excess stock) to 1.0 percent of a FHLBank’s total assets; and

	•		prohibit a shareholder, or an institution that has been approved for membership in a FHLBank, from purchasing capital stock if that stock would be excess stock at the time of purchase.

The Proposed Regulation was open for public comment through July 13, 2006. The Finance Board has not yet issued a final regulation. The final regulation, if any, approved by the Finance Board may be different from the Proposed Regulation.

Based on a preliminary analysis, the Bank does not currently believe that implementation of the Proposed Regulation, if adopted in its current form, would require substantive changes in the Bank’s financial management.

Depending on the effective date and exact provisions of a final regulation that may be adopted by the Finance Board, if any, the combination of a recent change in the Bank’s dividend declaration and payment process and the measurement of retained earnings for purposes of complying with the Proposed Regulation’s minimum retained earnings requirements could have an impact on the date on which the Bank achieves compliance with the minimum retained earnings provisions of the regulation, which could potentially restrict the amount the Bank would be allowed to pay in dividends following the date on which a final regulation becomes effective.

Historically, the Bank has declared dividends during a calendar quarter based in part on estimated earnings for that quarter, and has paid dividends on the last business day of the quarter. As more fully discussed in the section entitled “Financial Condition / Retained Earnings and Dividends,” effective with the third quarter 2006 dividend, the Bank will adjust its declaration and payment process in a manner that will conform with the timing provisions of the Proposed Regulation. The change in the Bank’s dividend declaration and payment process will enable it to declare and pay dividends with the benefit of knowing its actual earnings for the dividend period (i.e., the calendar quarter to which the dividend pertains).

The proposed prohibition on the payment of dividends in the form of capital stock would require a change from current practice, since the Bank has historically paid dividends in the form of capital stock. In addition, the proposed requirement that dividends be paid in cash may have an impact on the tax treatment of those dividends for the Bank’s shareholders.

Partly because the Bank has limited members’ accumulation of excess stock by periodically repurchasing a portion of shareholders’ excess stock, aggregate excess stock held by shareholders has been less than one percent of the Bank’s total assets throughout the period since implementation of its capital plan. In addition, the Bank believes that the aggregate amount of excess stock held by its shareholders will not exceed the limitation contained in the Proposed Regulation, as it is currently written, if and when it becomes effective. Further, the Bank does not allow purchases of capital stock that would be excess at the time of purchase. Therefore, it does not anticipate that the proposed prohibition on stock dividends, the proposed limit on the maximum aggregate amount of excess stock members could hold, or the prohibition of sales of excess stock would have a significant impact on the Bank’s ability to manage its capital or to maintain appropriate levels of capital.

A copy of the Proposed Regulation and the Bank’s comment letter to the Finance Board regarding the Proposed Regulation can be found on the Bank’s website at www.fhlb.com.

Financial Condition

The following table provides selected period-end balances as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, as well as selected average balances for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005. In addition, the table provides the percentage increase or decrease in each of these balances from period-to-period. As shown in the table, the Bank’s total assets decreased by 11.7 percent (or $7.6 billion) during the six months ended June 30, 2006, due primarily to a $1.3 billion decline in the carrying value of advances and a $5.5 billion decline in short-term investments during the period. As the Bank’s assets decreased, the funding for those assets also declined. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, total consolidated obligations decreased by $7.5 billion; consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes declined by $4.4 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively.

The activity in each of the major balance sheet captions is discussed in the sections following the table.

At June 30, 2006, the carrying value of the Bank’s advances portfolio totaled $45.2 billion, compared to $46.5 billion at December 31, 2005. The par value of advances outstanding at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $45.3 billion and $46.5 billion, respectively.

The $1.2 billion decline in the par value of outstanding advances during the first six months of 2006 was attributable to a $1.3 billion net decrease in advances to the Bank’s ten largest borrowers, which included a $2.8 billion decrease in advances to Washington Mutual Bank, as further discussed below, and a $2.0 billion increase in advances to World Savings Bank, FSB Texas. At June 30, 2006, advances outstanding to the Bank’s ten largest borrowers totaled $30.9 billion, representing 68.4 percent of the Bank’s total outstanding advances as of that date. In comparison, advances outstanding to the Bank’s ten largest borrowers totaled $32.2 billion at December 31, 2005, representing 69.3 percent of the total outstanding balances at that date. The following table presents the Bank’s ten largest borrowers as of June 30, 2006.

At June 30, 2006, the Bank’s third largest borrower was Washington Mutual Bank (Washington Mutual), a Nevada-based institution with $4.6 billion of advances outstanding. On February 13, 2001, Washington Mutual acquired Bank United, then the Bank’s largest stockholder and borrower, and dissolved Bank United’s Ninth District charter. Washington Mutual assumed Bank United’s advances, which mature between 2006 and 2008, and in so doing became a non-member borrower. Advances to non-member borrowers may not be renewed at maturity. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, $2.8 billion of Washington Mutual’s advances matured and were repaid. The balance of Washington Mutual’s advances are scheduled to mature as follows: $1.111 billion in the second half of 2006, $3.145 billion in 2007, and $0.368 billion in early 2008.

The Bank believes that the loss of the advances currently held by Washington Mutual will have a modestly negative economic impact on the Bank’s members. Currently, the Bank estimates that the loss of those advances from the Bank’s portfolio, accompanied by the repurchase and retirement of the capital stock held to support those advances, could reduce its return on total capital stock by approximately five to ten basis points. A larger balance of advances helps provide a critical mass of advances and capital over which to spread the Bank’s overhead, which helps maintain dividends and relatively lower advance pricing. The magnitude of the actual economic impact will depend on the size and profitability of the Bank at the time that the remaining advances are repaid.

A similar outcome would result in the event that one or more of the Bank’s other large borrowers repays its advances and ceases to be a member of the Bank. Several recently completed and currently pending acquisitions could contribute to such an outcome.

In November 2005, Capital One Financial Corp. (domiciled in the Fourth District of the FHLBank System) acquired Hibernia National Bank (now known as Capital One, National Association), the Bank’s sixth largest borrower and fifth largest stockholder at June 30, 2006. Currently, the Bank is unable to predict whether Capital One, National Association will maintain its Ninth District charter.

Wachovia Corporation (Wachovia) is domiciled in the Fourth District of the FHLBank System, and an affiliate of World Savings maintains a charter in the Eleventh District. The Bank is currently unable to predict whether Wachovia will maintain World Savings’ Ninth District charter and, if so, to what extent, if any, it may alter World Savings’ relationship with the Bank. For instance, Wachovia might retain World Savings’ Ninth District charter, maintain World Savings’ membership in the Bank, and continue to borrow from the Bank in the normal course of business, in which case Wachovia’s acquisition of Golden West would not be expected to have a negative impact on the Bank. Alternatively, Wachovia might elect to dissolve World Savings’ Ninth District charter and terminate its membership with the Bank, in which case it might elect to leave the existing advances outstanding until their scheduled maturities, or prepay the advances along with any prepayment fees that might be due under the Bank’s normal prepayment fee policies. For the reasons cited above with regard to the repayment of Washington Mutual’s advances, the Bank would expect the impact of a termination of World Savings’ membership in the Bank and the resulting repayment of its advances to be negative. Further, given the outstanding balance of World Savings’ advances, the Bank would expect the impact to be somewhat more significant than the loss of Washington Mutual. However, the Bank believes its ability to adjust its capital levels in response to any reduction in advances outstanding would mitigate to some extent the negative impact on the Bank’s remaining stockholders.

On June 12, 2006, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (BBVA) announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire Texas Regional Bancshares, Inc. (Texas Regional) (NASDAQ: TRBS), the holding company for Texas State Bank, the Bank’s eighth largest borrower and stockholder at June 30, 2006. Completion of the transaction, which the parties expect to close in the fourth quarter of 2006, is subject to the approval of Texas Regional’s shareholders and regulatory approvals in both the United States and Spain. BBVA’s stock trades on the Madrid stock exchange and its American depositary receipts trade on the NYSE under the symbol BBV. The Bank is currently unable to predict whether BBVA will maintain Texas State Bank’s Ninth District charter.

In the event the Bank were to lose one or more large borrowers that represent a significant proportion of its business, it could, depending on the magnitude of the impact, compensate for the loss by lowering dividend rates, raising advances rates, attempting to reduce operating expenses (which could cause a reduction in service levels), or by undertaking some combination of these actions.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, demand for the Bank’s variable rate product offerings decreased slightly, as variable rate advances decreased from 46.8 percent of the Bank’s outstanding advances at December 31, 2005 to 45.0 percent of outstanding advances at June 30, 2006. The following table presents information regarding the composition of the Bank’s advances by remaining term to maturity as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

The Bank is required by statute and regulation to obtain sufficient collateral from members to fully secure all advances. Due in large part to these collateral requirements, the Bank has not experienced any credit losses on advances since it was founded in 1932, nor does management currently anticipate any credit losses on advances. Accordingly, the Bank has not provided any allowance for losses on advances. As discussed above in the section entitled “Hurricanes Katrina and Rita,” the Bank does not currently anticipate any losses on advances to members impacted by these storms.

Investment Securities

At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Bank’s short-term investments, which were comprised entirely of overnight federal funds sold to domestic counterparties, totaled $2.4 billion and $7.9 billion, respectively. The conditions that made investing in overnight federal funds an attractive opportunity diminished between December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, resulting in the Bank’s decision to reduce its short-term investments. At June 30, 2006, the Bank’s long-term investment portfolio was comprised of $8.0 billion of MBS and $0.2 billion of U.S. agency debentures. As of year-end 2005, the Bank’s long-term investment portfolio was comprised of $9.0 billion of MBS and $0.3 billion of U.S. agency debentures.

The Bank’s long-term investment portfolio at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 includes securities that are classified for balance sheet purposes as either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading as set forth in the following tables.

⁽¹⁾		Represents consolidated obligations acquired in the secondary market for which the named FHLBank is the primary obligor, and for which each of the FHLBanks, including the Bank, is jointly and severally liable.

At June 30, 2006, all of the Bank’s holdings of privately issued (i.e., non-agency) mortgage-backed securities retained the highest investment grade rating.

The Bank did not acquire or sell any long-term investments during the six months ended June 30, 2006; during this same period, the proceeds from maturities of securities designated as held-to-maturity and available-for-sale totaled approximately $816 million and $134 million, respectively. As described in more detail in the Bank’s Amended Form 10, during the third quarter of 2005, the Bank took advantage of favorable market conditions and sold substantially all of its non-MBS securities classified as available-for-sale. Following that sale, the Bank reduced members’ minimum investment requirements and repurchased approximately $279 million of surplus stock in

November 2005. In addition, the Bank subsequently repurchased $105 million of surplus stock in January 2006, $91 million of surplus stock in April 2006 and $123 million of capital stock held by Washington Mutual, most of which became excess stock as Washington Mutual repaid advances during the first half of 2006.

Due to these reductions in capital stock, the Bank’s MBS portfolio currently exceeds the regulatory limit of three times the Bank’s total regulatory capital. Since the Bank was in compliance with the regulatory limit at the time it purchased its current MBS holdings, the Bank is not required to sell any of its securities holdings and is not considered to be out of compliance with the regulatory limit. However, the Bank is precluded from purchasing additional MBS until the outstanding principal amount of its current holdings falls below three times its capital. Based on the anticipated repayment of advances by Washington Mutual and the repurchase of the capital stock supporting those advances, as well as current repayment projections for the Bank’s existing MBS portfolio, and in the absence of substantial growth in advances (and corresponding capital stock), the Bank currently does not anticipate purchasing any additional MBS until the first quarter of 2007. In addition, while the Bank is not currently precluded from purchasing U.S. agency debentures, based upon current market conditions, it does not anticipate purchasing any such securities in the foreseeable future.

The following table provides the par amounts and carrying values of the Bank’s MBS portfolio as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

⁽⁵⁾		The Bank match funded these CMBS at the time of purchase with fixed rate debt securities.

While the MBS portfolio is dominated by floating rate securities that limit the Bank’s interest rate risk, all of the Bank’s floating rate CMOs ($6.5 billion par value at June 30, 2006) include caps that will limit increases in the floating rate coupons if short-term interest rates rise dramatically. In addition, if interest rates rise, prepayments on

the underlying mortgage loans would likely decline, thus lengthening the time that the securities would remain outstanding with their coupon rates capped. As of June 30, 2006, the effective interest rate caps (the interest cap rate minus the stated spread on the coupon) embedded in the CMO floaters ranged from 6.6 percent to 15.3 percent. The largest concentration of embedded effective caps ($3.1 billion) fell within the 7.0 to 7.5 percent range. Although LIBOR rates were approximately 135 basis points below the lowest effective interest rate cap embedded in the CMO floaters as of June 30, 2006, the Bank has offset a significant amount of this potential cap risk with $6.4 billion of stand-alone interest rate caps with remaining maturities ranging from 4 months to 58 months as of June 30, 2006, and strike rates ranging from 6.75 percent to 8.0 percent. If interest rates rise above these strike rates, the Bank will be entitled to receive interest payments based upon the notional amounts of the interest rate cap agreements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Bank entered into four stand-alone interest rate cap agreements with notional amounts totaling $2.5 billion. On February 21, 2006, the Bank entered into a $1.0 billion (notional) interest rate cap agreement. The premium paid for this cap was $4.1 million. The agreement has a strike rate of 7.0 percent and expires in February 2011. On April 19, 2006, the Bank entered into three additional interest rate cap agreements, each having a $500 million notional amount and a strike rate of 6.75 percent. The agreements expire in April 2009, April 2010 and April 2011, respectively. The premiums paid for these caps totaled $5.5 million.

The following table provides a summary of the notional amounts, strike rates and expiration periods of the Bank’s stand-alone CMO-related interest rate cap agreements as of June 30, 2006.

Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio

At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Bank held $492 million and $542 million, respectively, of residential mortgage loans originated under the MPF Program. As of these dates, 46 percent and 47 percent, respectively, of the outstanding balances were government insured. The Bank’s allowance for loan losses decreased from $294,000 at December 31, 2005 to $265,000 at June 30, 2006, reflecting charge-offs during the six-month period. At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Bank had nonaccrual loans totaling $673,000 and $2,384,000, respectively.

Participating Financial Institutions (“PFIs”), which are Bank members that have joined the MPF Program, totaled 59 and 57 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Bank’s PFIs delivered $66 million and $74 million of mortgage loans, respectively, into the MPF Program, all of which were acquired by the FHLBank of Chicago. In connection with these mortgage loan deliveries, the Bank received participation fees from the FHLBank of Chicago of $71,000 and $84,000, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Bank’s PFIs delivered $115 million and $169 million of mortgage loans, respectively, into the MPF Program, all of which were acquired by the FHLBank of Chicago. In connection with these mortgage loan deliveries, the Bank received participation fees from the FHLBank of Chicago of $125,000 and $202,000, respectively. No interest in loans was retained by the Bank during the six months ended June 30, 2006 or 2005.

For those loans in which the Bank has a retained interest, the Bank shares in the credit risk of the retained portion of such loans. The credit risk is shared between the Bank and the PFI by structuring the potential loss exposure into several layers as described in the Bank’s Amended Form 10. The PFI receives from the Bank a credit enhancement fee for managing a portion of the inherent risk in the loans. This fee is paid monthly based upon the remaining unpaid principal balance. The required credit enhancement obligation amount varies depending upon the various product alternatives offered through the MPF Program. During the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Bank paid credit enhancement fees totaling $84,000 and $111,000, respectively. Such fees totaled $173,000 and $228,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For certain products, the monthly credit enhancement fee may be reduced depending upon the performance of the loans comprising each master commitment. During the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, performance-based credit enhancement fees that were forgone and not paid to the Bank’s PFIs totaled $7,000 and $4,000, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, $14,000 and $8,000, respectively, of performance-based credit enhancement fees were forgone and not paid to the Bank’s PFIs.

As discussed in the section above entitled “Hurricanes Katrina and Rita,” the Bank does not currently expect to incur any material losses in its mortgage loan portfolio as a result of these storms.

PFIs must comply with the requirements of the PFI agreement, MPF guides, applicable law and the terms of mortgage documents. If a PFI fails to comply with any of these requirements, it may be required to repurchase the MPF loans which are affected by that failure. The reasons that a PFI could be required to repurchase an MPF loan include, but are not limited to, the failure of the loan to meet underwriting standards, subsequent modification of the loan terms, the PFI’s failure to perfect collateral with an approved custodian, a servicing breach, fraud or other misrepresentations by the PFI. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, the principal amount of mortgage loans held by the Bank that were required to be repurchased by the Bank’s PFIs totaled $800. No mortgage loans were required to be repurchased during the three months ended June 30, 2006. The principal amount of mortgage loans held by the Bank that were required to be repurchased by the Bank’s PFIs during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 totaled $202,000 and $67,000, respectively.

Given its current arrangement with the FHLBank of Chicago, as more fully described in the Bank’s Amended Form 10, the Bank expects the balance of its mortgage loan portfolio to continue to decline as a result of scheduled amortization and loan payoffs.

Consolidated Obligations and Deposits

At June 30, 2006, the carrying values of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes totaled $41.7 billion and $8.1 billion, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, the par value of the Bank’s outstanding bonds was $42.4 billion and the par value of the Bank’s outstanding discount notes approximated their carrying values. In comparison, at December 31, 2005, the carrying values of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes totaled $46.1 billion and $11.2 billion, respectively, and the par values of the Bank’s outstanding bonds and discount notes totaled $46.6 billion and $11.2 billion, respectively.

The following table presents the composition of the Bank’s outstanding bonds at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

Fixed rate bonds have coupons that are fixed over the life of the bond. Some fixed-rate bonds contain provisions that enable the Bank to call the bonds at its option on predetermined call dates. Callable step-up bonds pay interest at increasing fixed rates for specified intervals over the life of the bond and contain provisions enabling the Bank to call the bonds at its option on predetermined dates. Single-index floating rate bonds have variable rate coupons that generally reset based on either one-month or three-month LIBOR; typically, these bonds contain caps that limit the increases in the floating rate coupons. Conversion bonds have coupons that convert from fixed to floating, or from floating to fixed, on predetermined dates. Comparative-index bonds have coupon rates determined by the difference between two or more market indices, typically a Constant Maturity Treasury rate and LIBOR. Callable step-up/step-down bonds pay interest at increasing fixed rates and then at decreasing fixed rates for specified intervals over the life of the bond and contain provisions enabling the Bank to call the bonds at its option on predetermined dates.

Consistent with its risk management philosophy, the Bank uses interest rate exchange agreements to convert many of the fixed rate consolidated obligations that it issues to floating rate instruments that periodically reset to an index such as one-month or three-month LIBOR. As has been the case for the last several years, a majority of the consolidated obligations that the Bank issued and swapped to LIBOR in the six months ended June 30, 2006 were callable bonds, albeit in lower volumes as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. Callable bonds provide the Bank with the right to redeem the instrument on predetermined call dates in the future. When hedging callable consolidated obligation bonds, the Bank sells an option to the interest rate swap counterparty that offsets the option the Bank owns to call the bond. If market interest rates decline, the swap counterparty will generally cancel the interest rate swap and the Bank will then typically call the consolidated obligation bond. Conversely, if market interest rates increase, the swap counterparty generally elects to keep the interest rate swap outstanding and the Bank will then elect not to call the consolidated obligation bond.

As market interest rates continued to increase during the first half of 2006, the volume of debt being called by the Bank declined significantly, and the volume of new consolidated obligation bonds issued by the Bank declined in turn. The Bank issued $2.2 billion of bonds during the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $13.4 billion of bonds during the same period in 2005. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the housing GSEs’ debt issuance remained at a relatively low level, which, when combined with steady demand from investors in agency debt, reduced or held constant the cost of GSE debt relative to benchmark instruments in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2005. Agency debt securities generally trade at yields that are higher than the yields of comparable maturity U.S. treasury securities. In the first half of 2006, the difference between yields of agency debt securities and those of U.S. treasury securities having approximately the same term to maturity generally decreased or remained relatively constant compared to the relationship that existed in the fourth quarter of 2005. Recently, agency debt securities have generally traded at yields that are lower than the rates on comparable maturity interest rate swaps. During the first half of 2006, the difference between the yields of agency debt securities and those of interest rate swaps having approximately the same term to maturity increased (the difference in yields became more negative) or remained relatively constant compared to the relationship that existed in the fourth quarter of 2005. In the future, the cost of the Bank’s debt will depend on several factors, including the direction and level of market

interest rates, competition from other GSEs, changes in the investment preferences of potential buyers of GSE debt securities, and technical market factors.

Demand, overnight, and term deposits were $3.8 billion at both June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The size of the Bank’s deposit base varies as market factors change, including the attractiveness of the Bank’s 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.

Capital Stock

The Bank’s outstanding capital stock was approximately $2.3 billion at both June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The Bank’s average outstanding capital stock decreased from $2.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $2.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decline in average outstanding capital stock was attributable primarily to reductions in members’ required investment in the Bank, which were implemented in late 2005 and April 2006, a change in the definition of surplus stock, and lower average advances balances. These changes are discussed below.

On September 29, 2005, the Bank’s Board of Directors approved several changes to members’ required investment in the Bank which, by design, reduced the Bank’s outstanding capital stock from and after November 30, 2005. Members are required to maintain an investment in Class B stock equal to the sum of a membership investment requirement and an activity-based investment requirement. Effective November 1, 2005, the membership investment requirement was reduced from 0.14 percent to 0.09 percent of each member’s total assets as of June 30, 2005 (and as of each December 31 thereafter), subject to a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $25,000,000. Concurrently, the activity-based investment requirement was reduced from 4.25 percent to 4.10 percent of outstanding advances, plus 4.10 percent of the outstanding principal balance of any MPF loans that were delivered pursuant to master commitments executed after September 2, 2003 and retained on the Bank’s balance sheet (of which there are none). On February 23, 2006, the Bank’s Board of Directors approved an additional reduction in the membership investment requirement from 0.09 percent to 0.08 percent of members’ total assets as of December 31, 2005 (and each December 31 thereafter). This change became effective on April 14, 2006.

The Bank has a policy under which it periodically repurchases a portion of members’ excess capital stock. The portion of members’ excess capital stock subject to repurchase is known as surplus stock. Under the policy, the Bank generally repurchases surplus stock on the last business day of the month following the end of each calendar quarter (e.g., January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31). From the implementation of this practice in October 2003 through the repurchase that occurred on November 30, 2005, surplus stock was defined as the amount of stock held by a member in excess of 120 percent of the member’s minimum investment requirement. For the repurchases that occurred on January 31, 2006 and April 28, 2006, surplus stock was defined as stock in excess of 115 percent of the member’s minimum investment requirement. Beginning with the repurchase that occurred on July 31, 2006, surplus stock is defined as stock in excess of 110 percent of the member’s minimum investment requirement. The Bank’s practice has been that a member’s surplus stock will not be repurchased if the amount of the surplus stock is $250,000 or less. From time to time, the Bank may further modify the definition of surplus stock or the timing and/or frequency of surplus stock repurchases. As these repurchases are made at the sole discretion of the Bank, the shares underlying such repurchases do not meet the definition of mandatorily redeemable financial instruments under the provisions of SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”(“SFAS 150”) and, accordingly, are classified as equity until redeemed by the Bank. The following table sets forth the repurchases of surplus stock which have occurred since December 31, 2005.

Mandatorily redeemable capital stock outstanding at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $204.0 million and $319.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, average mandatorily redeemable capital stock was $248.5 million and $326.2 million, respectively.

The majority of the Bank’s outstanding mandatorily redeemable capital stock is held by Washington Mutual, a non-member borrower as described in the sub-section above entitled“Advances.”The reduction in mandatorily redeemable capital stock during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was attributable primarily to the repurchase of stock that was held by Washington Mutual to support $2.8 billion of advances that were repaid during the period and, to a lesser extent, by the change in the activity-based investment requirements discussed above. The following table presents mandatorily redeemable capital stock outstanding, by reason for classification as a liability, as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

Although mandatorily redeemable capital stock is excluded from capital (equity) for financial reporting purposes, such stock is considered capital for regulatory purposes (see the section entitled “Risk-Based Capital Rules and Other Capital Requirements” for further information). Total outstanding capital stock for regulatory purposes (i.e., capital stock classified as equity for financial reporting purposes plus mandatorily redeemable capital stock) decreased from $2.6 billion at the end of 2005 to $2.5 billion at June 30, 2006 due in large part to the repurchase of stock held by Washington Mutual, as discussed above.

At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Bank’s ten largest stockholders held $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, of capital stock (including mandatorily redeemable capital stock), which represented 56.9 percent and 57.3 percent, respectively, of the Bank’s total outstanding capital stock (including mandatorily redeemable capital stock) as of those dates. The following table presents the Bank’s ten largest stockholders as of June 30, 2006.

For a discussion of the status of Washington Mutual, a non-member borrower, see the sub-section above entitled“Advances.”As of June 30, 2006, all of the stock held by Washington Mutual was classified as mandatorily redeemable capital stock (liability) in the statement of condition. The stock held by the other nine institutions shown in the table above was classified as capital in the statement of condition at June 30, 2006.

In November 2005, Capital One Financial Corp. acquired Hibernia National Bank (now known as Capital One, National Association), the Bank’s fifth largest stockholder and sixth largest borrower as of June 30, 2006. On May 7, 2006, Wachovia announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire Golden West Financial Corporation, the holding company for World Savings, the Bank’s largest stockholder and borrower as of June 30, 2006. On June 12, 2006, BBVA announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire Texas Regional, the holding company for Texas State Bank, the Bank’s eighth largest stockholder and borrower as of June 30, 2006. The parties to the definitive agreements expect to close their respective transactions in the fourth quarter of 2006. For a discussion of the potential impact of these transactions on the Bank, if any, see the sub-section above entitled“Advances.”

Retained Earnings and Dividends

The Bank’s retained earnings were $181.6 million at June 30, 2006, an increase of $3.1 million from $178.5 million at December 31, 2005. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Bank paid dividends on capital stock totaling $52.3 million, which equated to an average annualized dividend rate of 4.68 percent. The Bank’s first and second quarter 2006 dividend rates approximated the average effective federal funds rates for those periods. In addition, the Bank paid dividends totaling $5.7 million on capital stock classified as mandatorily redeemable capital stock (liability). These dividends, which were also paid at an average annualized rate of 4.68 percent, are treated as interest expense for financial reporting purposes. The Bank pays dividends on all outstanding capital stock at the same rate regardless of the accounting classification of the stock. The first quarter dividend, applied to average capital stock held during the period from December 31, 2005 through March 30, 2006, was paid on March 31, 2006. The second quarter dividend, applied to average capital stock held during the period from March 31, 2006 through June 29, 2006, was paid on June 30, 2006. Consistent with past practice, these dividends were paid in the form of capital stock (except for fractional shares, which were paid in cash).

The Bank is permitted by regulation to pay dividends only from previously retained earnings or current net earnings. Currently, dividends may be paid in the form of cash or capital stock as authorized by the Bank’s Board of Directors. Because the Bank’s returns (exclusive of gains on the sales of investment securities, if any, and fair value

adjustments required by SFAS 133) generally track short-term interest rates, the Bank has had a long-standing practice of benchmarking the dividend rate that it pays on capital stock to the average effective federal funds rate.

The Bank has a retained earnings policy that is designed to build retained earnings over a number of years in order to protect the par value of members’ capital stock investment from potential economic losses and fluctuations in earnings caused by SFAS 133 accounting requirements or other factors. The Bank’s Board of Directors reviews the Bank’s retained earnings targets at least annually under an analytic framework that takes into account sources of potential realized and unrealized losses, including potential loss distributions for each, and revises the targets as appropriate. In accordance with that process, the Board of Directors most recently revised the Bank’s retained earnings targets on May 1, 2006. The Bank’s current retained earnings targets call for the Bank to have a retained earnings balance of $183 million by the end of 2006, $187 million by the end of 2007, $191 million by the end of 2008 and $199 million by the end of 2010. Thereafter, the Bank will endeavor to build retained earnings at an average rate of $12 million to $13 million per year over the next six years. With certain exceptions, the Bank’s policy calls for the Bank to retain earnings in line with its targets prior to determining the amount of funds available to pay dividends.

Taking into consideration its retained earnings targets, as well as current earnings expectations and anticipated market conditions, the Bank currently expects to pay dividends during the remainder of 2006 at the low end of its target range of 0 to 50 basis points above the average effective federal funds rate for the applicable dividend period. Consistent with its long-standing practice, the Bank expects to pay these dividends in the form of capital stock. When dividends are paid, capital stock is issued in full shares and any fractional shares are paid in cash.

As discussed in the Amended Form 10, in light of earnings volatility related to the accounting requirements of SFAS 133, the Bank has been exploring alternative ways to modify its dividend declaration and payment process so that it can declare and pay dividends with the benefit of knowing its actual earnings for the dividend period. Historically, dividends have been declared during a calendar quarter prior to the date on which the Bank’s actual earnings for that quarter were known. In addition, on March 15, 2006, the Finance Board published a proposed regulation that would, among other things, require FHLBanks to declare and pay dividends only after the close of the calendar quarter to which the dividend pertains and the earnings for that quarter have been calculated.

On June 25, 2006, the Board of Directors approved a change to the Bank’s dividend declaration and payment process. Effective with the third quarter 2006 dividend, the Bank will change its dividend declaration and payment process in a manner that will conform with the timing provisions of the Proposed Regulation. The third quarter 2006 dividend is expected to be paid on September 29, 2006, and will be based upon the Bank’s operating results, shareholders’ average capital stock holdings and the average effective federal funds rate for the second quarter of 2006 (as stated above, the average effective federal funds rate for the second quarter of 2006 was 4.91 percent). The fourth quarter 2006 dividend is expected to be paid on December 29, 2006, and will be based upon the Bank’s operating results, shareholders’ average capital stock holdings and the average effective federal funds rate for the third quarter of 2006. The Bank anticipates that this pattern will continue for future periods.

The Finance Board’s Proposed Regulation would also establish a minimum retained earnings requirement for each FHLBank and impose new restrictions on the amount and form of dividends that FHLBanks could pay to their shareholders, among other things. For additional discussion of the Proposed Regulation and its potential impact on the Bank, see the section above entitled “Proposed Regulatory Changes.”

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Bank uses interest rate exchange agreements extensively to convert fixed rate liabilities to floating rates, and to convert fixed rate advances and investment securities to floating rates. This use of derivatives is integral to the Bank’s financial management strategy, and the impact of these interest rate exchange agreements permeates the Bank’s financial statements. As a result of using interest rate exchange agreements extensively to fulfill its role as a financial intermediary, the Bank has a large notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements relative to its size. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Bank’s notional balance of interest rate exchange agreements was $48.8 billion and $46.8 billion, respectively, while its total assets were $57.3 billion and $64.9 billion, respectively. The notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements does not reflect the Bank’s credit risk exposure, which is

much less than the notional amount. See discussion of credit risk in the section entitled “Counterparty Credit Risk” in “Part I / Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

The following table provides the notional balances of the Bank’s derivative instruments, by balance sheet category, as of June 30, 2006, and the net fair value changes recorded in earnings for each of those categories during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

⁽¹⁾		The short-cut method allows the assumption of no ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship.

⁽²⁾		The long-haul method requires the hedge and hedged item to be marked to fair value independently.

⁽³⁾		Interest rate derivatives that are matched to advances or consolidated obligations or that hedge identified portfolio risks, but that do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133.

⁽⁴⁾		Interest rate derivatives that are matched to investment securities designated as trading or available-for-sale, but that do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133.

⁽⁵⁾		Interest rate derivatives that hedge identified portfolio risks, but that do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133. The Bank’s interest rate caps hedge embedded caps in floating rate CMOs.

⁽⁶⁾		Represents the difference in fair value adjustments for the derivatives and their hedged items. In cases involving economic hedges (other than those relating to trading securities), the net change in fair value reflected above represents a one-sided mark, meaning that the net change in fair value represents the change in fair value of the derivative only. Gains and losses in the form of net interest payments on economic hedge derivatives are excluded from the amounts reflected above.

⁽⁷⁾		In June 2004, the Bank entered into $4.7 billion (notional) of interest rate basis swaps to reduce the Bank’s exposure to widening spreads between one-month and three-month LIBOR. The agreements expired in March 2005. The Bank entered into $2.05 billion and $3.0 billion (notional) of interest rate basis swaps in November 2005 and February 2006, respectively; $1.7 billion (notional) of such agreements expired in June 2006 and $3.35 billion (notional) of such agreements are scheduled to expire in August 2006.

Results of Operations

Net Income (Loss)

Net income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $27.9 million and ($66.5 million), respectively. The Bank’s net income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 represented an annualized return on average capital stock (ROCS) of 4.97 percent, which was 6 basis points above the average effective federal funds rate for the quarter. In comparison, the Bank’s ROCS was (10.61) percent for the three months ended June 30, 2005, which was 1,355 basis points below the average effective federal funds rate for that quarter. Net income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $55.5 million and ($40.5 million), respectively. The Bank’s net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 represented an annualized return on average capital stock (ROCS) of 4.96 percent, which was 28 basis points above the average effective federal funds rate for the period. In comparison, the Bank’s ROCS was (3.26) percent for the six months ended June 30, 2005, which was 597 basis points below the average effective federal funds rate for that period. To derive the Bank’s ROCS, net income (loss) is divided by average capital stock outstanding for the applicable period excluding stock that is classified as a liability under the provisions of SFAS 150. The factors contributing to the changes in ROCS compared to the average effective federal funds rate are discussed below.

While the Bank is exempt from all Federal, State and local taxation (except for real property taxes), it is obligated to set aside amounts for its AHP and to make quarterly payments to REFCORP. Assessments for AHP and REFCORP, which are more fully described below, equate to a minimum 26.5 percent effective income tax rate for the Bank. Because interest expense on mandatorily redeemable capital stock is not deductible for purposes of computing the Bank’s AHP assessment, the effective rate may exceed 26.5 percent (or may be lower than 26.5 percent in loss periods). During the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the effective rates were 27.7 percent and 26.3 percent, respectively. During these periods, the combined AHP and REFCORP assessments were $10.7 million and ($23.7 million), respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the effective rates were 27.4 percent and 25.8 percent, respectively, and the combined AHP and REFCORP assessments were $21.0 million and ($14.4 million), respectively.

Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle

During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Bank elected to change its method of accounting for the amortization and accretion of mortgage loan premiums and discounts under SFAS No. 91, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases.”The change was made effective as of January 1, 2005. Previously, amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts associated with the Bank’s mortgage loans held for portfolio were computed using the retrospective method. Under this method, the income effects of premiums and discounts were recognized using the interest method over the estimated lives of the assets, which required a retrospective adjustment of the effective yield each time the Bank changed its estimate of the loan life, based on actual prepayments received and changes in expected future prepayments. Under the retrospective method, the net investment in the loans was adjusted as if the new estimate had been known since the original acquisition of the assets. Effective January 1, 2005, the Bank began amortizing premiums and accreting discounts using the contractual method. The contractual method uses the cash flows required by the loan contracts, as adjusted for any actual prepayments, to apply the interest method. Under the new method, future prepayments of principal are not anticipated. While both methods are acceptable under generally accepted accounting principles, the Bank believes that the contractual method is preferable to the retrospective method because, under the contractual method, the income effects of premiums and discounts are recognized in a manner that is reflective of the actual behavior of the mortgage loans during the period in which the behavior occurs while also reflecting the contractual terms of the assets without regard to changes in estimated prepayments based upon assumptions about future borrower behavior.

effect of change in accounting principle for the three months ended June 30, 2005 by $398,000 and $292,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 by $366,000 and $268,000, respectively.

Income (Loss) Before Assessments

During the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Bank’s income (loss) before assessments was $38.6 million and ($90.2 million), respectively. The $128.8 million increase in income before assessments for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005 was attributable primarily to a $138.4 million reduction in other losses from period-to-period (which was related to economic hedge derivatives, as discussed below), offset by a $7.2 million decrease in net interest income and a $2.3 million increase in other expenses.

The Bank’s income (loss) before assessments was $76.4 million and ($55.8 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The $132.2 million increase in income before assessments for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005 was attributable primarily to a $147.0 million reduction in other losses from period-to-period (which was related to economic hedge derivatives, as discussed below), offset by a $10.0 million decrease in net interest income and a $4.7 million increase in other expenses.

The components of income (loss) before assessments (net interest income, other income (loss) and other expense) are discussed in more detail in the following sections.

Net Interest Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Bank’s net interest income was $51.7 million and $58.9 million, respectively, and its net interest margin (based on these results) was 36 basis points in each of these periods. The Bank’s net interest income was $103.6 million and $113.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and its net interest margin (based on these results) was 35 basis points in each of these periods. Net interest margin, or net interest income as a percent of average earning assets, is a function of net interest spread and the rates of return on assets funded by the investment of the Bank’s capital. Net interest spread is the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income, net interest margin and net interest spread are impacted positively or negatively, as the case may be, by the inclusion or exclusion of net interest income/expense associated with the Bank’s interest rate exchange agreements. To the extent such agreements qualify for SFAS 133 fair value hedge accounting, the net interest income/expense associated with the agreements is included in net interest income and the calculations of net interest margin and net interest spread. Conversely, if such agreements do not qualify for SFAS 133 fair value hedge accounting (“economic hedges”), the net interest income/expense associated with the agreements is excluded from net interest income and the calculations of the Bank’s net interest margin and net interest spread.

The following table presents average balance sheet amounts together with the total dollar amounts of interest income and expense and the weighted average interest rates of major earning asset categories and the funding sources for those earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

For these same periods, net interest income (expense) on derivatives related to consolidated obligation bonds that did not qualify for hedge accounting was ($263,000) and $2.6 million, respectively. Net interest expense on derivatives related to consolidated obligation discount notes that did not qualify for hedge accounting was $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The Bank did not have any hedged discount notes during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Average balances for available-for-sale securities are calculated based upon amortized cost.

^(d)		Interest income and average rates include prepayment fees on advances.

The average effective federal funds rate increased from 2.94 percent and 2.71 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, to 4.91 percent and 4.68 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. Due to rising short-term interest rates throughout 2005 and the first half of 2006, the contribution of the Bank’s invested capital to the net interest margin (the impact of non-interest bearing funds) increased from 17 basis points and 15 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, to 27 basis points and 24 basis points for the comparable periods in 2006. Conversely, the Bank’s net interest spread (based on reported results) declined from 19 basis points and 20 basis points during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, to 9 basis points and 11 basis points during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The decrease in net interest spread was due primarily to the following factors.

First, as discussed previously, the Bank reports realized gains and losses in the form of net interest payments on derivative instruments used to hedge interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as part of net interest income when the hedging relationships qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133. Conversely, net interest payments on derivatives used in economic hedges are reported in “net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities” together with the unrealized changes in fair value of the derivatives. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Bank held approximately $1.4 billion of fixed rate available-for-sale securities that were in economic hedging relationships. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the net interest expense on the associated interest rate swaps totaling approximately $10.0 million and $21.9 million, respectively, was included in net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities and therefore excluded from the net interest spread calculation (accounting for approximately 6 basis points and 7 basis points, respectively). During the third quarter of 2005, the Bank sold substantially all of the subject available-for-sale securities and terminated the associated interest rate swaps, resulting in a reduction of interest income on available-for-sale securities and a corresponding reduction in losses on derivatives and hedging activities.

Second, as discussed above under the section entitled “Financial Condition/Retained Earnings and Dividends,” the Bank will change its dividend declaration and payment process beginning with the third quarter 2006 dividend so that it can declare and pay its quarterly dividends with the benefit of knowing its actual earnings for the dividend period. Although not yet declared, the third quarter 2006 dividend is expected to be paid on September 29, 2006, and will be based upon the Bank’s operating results, shareholders’ average capital stock holdings and the average effective federal funds rate for the second quarter of 2006. Because the dividend to be paid in the third quarter of 2006 will be based upon average capital stock holdings for the second quarter of 2006, the portion of this dividend that will be paid on mandatorily redeemable capital stock was recognized as interest expense in the second quarter of 2006. Under the Bank’s dividend practices that existed through June 30, 2006, interest expense on mandatorily redeemable capital stock was recorded in the calendar quarter in which the dividend was paid. The inclusion of this additional interest expense (that is, the amount representing the dividend to be paid on mandatorily redeemable capital stock on September 29, 2006) reduced the Bank’s net interest spread for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 by 3 basis points and 1 basis point, respectively. In addition, it reduced the Bank’s ROCS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 by 40 basis points and 20 basis points, respectively.

Third, the net spread earned on fixed rate assets which were funded with floating rate debt during the first half of 2005 declined due to the substitution during the third quarter of 2005 of higher rate fixed rate debt for the floating rate debt that had previously funded those assets.

Fourth, the Bank’s balance sheet participation in the MPF Program is continuing to decline. As a result, the Bank held a smaller balance of relatively higher yielding fixed rate mortgage loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same periods in 2005.

Changes in both volume and interest rates influence changes in net interest income and net interest margin. The following table summarizes changes in interest income and interest expense between the three-month and six-month periods in 2006 and 2005. Changes in interest income and interest expense that cannot be attributed to either volume or rate have been allocated to the volume and rate categories based upon the proportion of the absolute value of the volume and rate changes.

As previously discussed, the Bank reports income/expense from its trading securities and certain of its available-for-sale securities and consolidated obligations in interest income/expense without the offsetting effects of the associated interest rate swaps. For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the net interest expense associated with economic hedge derivatives related to trading securities was $250,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, while the net interest income (expense) associated with economic hedge derivatives related to available-for-sale securities was $21,000 and ($10.0 million), respectively. For these same periods, the net interest income (expense) associated with economic hedge derivatives related to consolidated obligations was ($271,000) and $857,000, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the net interest expense associated with economic hedge derivatives related to trading securities was $678,000 and $2.9 million, respectively, while the net interest income (expense) associated with economic hedge derivatives related to available-for-sale securities was $31,000 and ($21.9 million), respectively, and the net interest income (expense) associated with economic hedge derivatives related to consolidated obligations was ($263,000) and $1.9 million, respectively.

The changes in interest income on trading and available-for-sale securities and the changes in interest expense on consolidated obligations reflected in the foregoing Yield and Spread and Rate and Volume Analyses have been offset to varying degrees by changes in the net interest income/expense on the associated interest rate exchange agreements recorded in other income (loss). Because the Bank has synthetically converted the instruments’ cash flows through interest rate swap agreements, management considers the effects of the associated interest rate exchange agreements when evaluating changes in the Bank’s net interest income across different time periods and in relation to the movement in short-term interest rates. When combined with the associated interest rate exchange agreements, the average rates earned on the trading securities are substantially lower than the rates shown in the Yield and Spread Analyses. In addition, the average rates earned on the available-for-sale securities in 2005 are substantially lower than the rates shown in the Yield and Spread Analyses while the average rates paid on the consolidated obligations in 2005 are somewhat lower than the rates shown in the Yield and Spread Analyses. Further, when the effects of these interest rate exchange agreements are considered, the Bank’s net interest margins and net interest spreads for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 were significantly lower than the rates shown in the Yield and Spread Analyses. Because the balance of economic hedging relationships was substantially

lower during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the impact of interest rate exchange agreements on the interest rates earned/paid on available-for-sale securities and consolidated obligations, as well as the impact on the Bank’s net interest margin and net interest spread, was insignificant.

As discussed above, the Bank uses interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of its trading securities. The difference between the change in fair value of these securities and the change in fair value of the associated interest rate swaps (representing economic hedge ineffectiveness) was a net gain of $14,000 and $40,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and a net gain of $48,000 and $94,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The change in fair value of the trading securities and the

change in fair value of the associated interest rate swaps are reported separately in the statements of income (loss) as “net gain (loss) on trading securities” and “net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities,” respectively.

Net interest expense associated with economic hedge derivatives related to trading securities fluctuates as a function of the balance of the trading securities and changes in interest rates. These interest rate swaps are structured so that their notional balances mirror the balance of the related trading securities and their pay leg coupons mirror the variable rate coupons of the related securities. Net interest expense associated with economic hedge derivatives related to trading securities declined by $1.0 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005, and by $2.2 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005, due primarily to reductions in the notional balances of the interest rate swaps. The reductions in the notional balances corresponded to reductions of $31 million and $32 million in the average balance of the trading securities portfolio for the three and six-month periods, respectively, which were in turn attributable to principal repayments on the securities.

Net interest expense associated with economic hedge derivatives related to available-for-sale securities declined by $10.0 million and $22.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2005. Substantially all of the interest rate swaps that gave rise to this interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 were terminated in August and September 2005 in connection with the sale of the hedged items.

Net interest income associated with economic hedge derivatives related to consolidated obligations declined by $1.1 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2005. For most of these interest rate swaps, the Bank pays (or paid) a floating rate and receives (or received) a fixed rate; therefore, the increase in average interest rates reduced the net amount of interest earned from period to period (for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the net amount became an expense for the Bank). In addition, the notional amount of interest rate swaps giving rise to this interest income declined from period to period as a result of expirations.

As discussed previously, to reduce the impact that rising rates would have on its portfolio of CMO LIBOR floaters with embedded caps, the Bank has entered into 19 interest rate cap agreements having a total notional amount of $6.415 billion. The premiums paid for these caps totaled $43.5 million, of which $4.1 million (for a cap having a notional amount of $1.0 billion) was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and $5.5 million (for three caps having a total notional amount of $1.5 billion) was paid during the three months ended June 30, 2006. The Bank did not purchase any stand-alone interest rate caps during the corresponding periods in 2005. The fair value of the Bank’s interest rate caps is dependent upon the level of interest rates, market volatilities and remaining term to maturity. In general (assuming constant market volatilities and no erosion in value attributable to the passage of time), interest rate caps will increase in value as market interest rates rise and will diminish in value as market interest rates decline. The value of interest rate caps will increase as volatilities increase and will decline as volatilities decrease. Absent changes in market volatilities or interest rates, the value of interest rate caps will decline with the passage of time. As stand-alone derivatives, the changes in the fair values of the Bank’s interest rate cap agreements are recorded in earnings with no offsetting changes in the fair values of the hedged items (i.e., the CMO LIBOR floaters with embedded caps) and therefore can be a source of considerable earnings volatility.

At June 30, 2006, the carrying values of the Bank’s stand-alone interest rate cap agreements totaled $11.2 million. The recorded fair value changes in the Bank’s stand-alone caps were gains (losses) of ($107,000) and $42,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to losses of $1.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2005. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the losses relating to the Bank’s interest rate caps were attributable primarily to lower interest rate volatility and the passage of time. The gains during the six months ended June 30, 2006 were due primarily to increases in interest rates, while the losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 were due primarily to lower interest rate volatility and the passage of time.

From time to time, the Bank enters into interest rate basis swaps to reduce its exposure to widening spreads between one-month and three-month LIBOR. In June 2004, the Bank entered into $4.7 billion (notional) of interest rate basis swaps that expired in March 2005. In November 2005 and February 2006, the Bank entered into interest rate basis swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $2.05 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively. Agreements with an

aggregate notional balance of $1.7 billion expired in June 2006 and the remaining agreements ($3.35 billion notional) expire in August 2006. The fair values of one-month LIBOR to three-month LIBOR basis swaps generally fluctuate based on the timing of the interest rate reset dates, the current relationship between one-month LIBOR and three-month LIBOR, and the projected relationship between one-month LIBOR and three-month LIBOR for the remaining term of the basis swap. The Bank accounts for interest rate basis swaps as stand-alone derivatives. The recorded fair value changes in the Bank’s interest rate basis swaps was a loss of $309,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to a gain of $48,000 for the corresponding period in 2005. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Bank recorded a gain of $479,000 due to fair value changes in its interest rate basis swaps. The Bank was not a party to any interest rate basis swaps during the three months ended June 30, 2005.

During the first six months of 2006 and 2005, market conditions were such that the Bank was able to extinguish certain consolidated obligation bonds at a gain, while new consolidated obligations could be issued and then converted (through the use of interest rate exchange agreements) to a floating rate that approximated the cost of the extinguished debt including any associated interest rate swaps. As a result, during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Bank repurchased $52 million and $898 million, respectively, of its consolidated obligations in the secondary market and terminated the related interest rate exchange agreements. The gains on these debt extinguishments totaled $267,000 and $564,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Bank repurchased $255 million and $938 million, respectively, of its consolidated obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the gains on these debt extinguishments totaled $1,123,000 and $802,000, respectively.

The Bank uses interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of its available-for-sale securities, as well as some of its advances and consolidated obligations. These hedging relationships are designated as fair value hedges. To the extent these relationships qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133, changes in the fair values of both the derivative (the interest rate swap) and the hedged item (limited to changes attributable to the hedged risk) are recorded in earnings. For those relationships that qualified as SFAS 133 hedges, the difference between the change in fair value of the hedged items and the change in fair value of the associated interest rate swaps (representing hedge ineffectiveness) was a net gain (loss) of ($475,000) and $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and a net loss of $2.7 million and $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. To the extent these hedging relationships do not qualify for SFAS 133 hedge accounting, or cease to qualify because they are determined to be ineffective, only the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in earnings (in this case, there is no offsetting change in fair value of the hedged item). During the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the change in fair value of derivatives that were not in SFAS 133 hedging relationships was ($618,000) and ($135.0 million), respectively. The change in fair value of derivatives that were not in SFAS 133 hedging relationships was ($1.5 million) and ($121.7 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The vast majority of the losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 were attributable to interest rate swaps relating to certain available-for-sale securities and consolidated obligations that had either expired or been terminated by September 30, 2005.

In the table above, the caption entitled “Other, net” (consistent with the term used in the statements of income (loss)) is comprised principally of MPF participation and letter of credit fees. During the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Bank received $71,000 and $84,000, respectively, of MPF participation fees under its arrangement with the FHLBank of Chicago. Such fees totaled $125,000 and $202,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Letter of credit fees totaled $658,000 and $485,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, letter of credit fees totaled $1,335,000 and $938,000, respectively. At June 30, 2006, outstanding letters of credit totaled $2.8 billion.

Other Expenses

Total other expenses, which include the Bank’s salaries and benefits, other operating expenses and its proportionate share of the costs of operating the Finance Board and the Office of Finance, totaled $13.6 million and $26.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to $11.3 million and $21.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

Salaries and benefits were $6.4 million and $12.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $5.0 million and $10.3 million for the corresponding periods in 2005. The increases of $1.4 million

and $2.2 million were due in part to increases in the Bank’s average headcount, from 137 and 135 employees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, to 157 and 152 employees during the corresponding periods in 2006. At June 30, 2006, the Bank employed 159 people, a net increase of 14 people from December 31, 2005 and a net increase of 18 people from June 30, 2005. In addition, expenses relating to the Bank’s participation in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (the “DB Plan”) increased from $0.5 million and $1.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, to $0.8 million and $1.6 million during the corresponding periods in 2006. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Bank also made a $195,000 contribution to its Special Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan. In 2005, contributions totaling $178,000 were made to the Special Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2005. The balance of the increases in salaries and benefits was due primarily to merit and cost-of-living adjustments.

On August 3, 2006, the U.S. Congress passed the Pension Protection Act which President Bush has indicated he will sign. If signed into law, the major provisions of this statute will take effect January 1, 2008. Among other things, the statute is designed to ensure timely and adequate funding of qualified pension plans by shortening the time period within which employers must fully fund pension benefits. The Bank has not determined the exact effect that this statute will have on the timing or amount of payments it is required to make to the DB Plan. The Bank expects, however, that the amount of its required annual contributions to the DB Plan will increase in at least the first several years after the legislation becomes effective.

Other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were $6.4 million and $12.2 million, respectively, compared to $5.4 million and $9.5 million for the corresponding periods in 2005. The increases of $1.0 million and $2.7 million were attributable in large part to two factors. First, the Bank incurred higher professional fees in 2006 related to an internal project designed to streamline and enhance management decision-making processes. The costs associated with this project totaled $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, of which approximately $0.9 million was incurred during the second quarter. Second, the Bank disbursed approximately $0.5 million in grants during the six months ended June 30, 2006 to support members’ efforts to fund redevelopment in areas impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The vast majority of these grants were disbursed during the first quarter of 2006. These disbursements represented all of the remaining funds that were made available through a special $5.0 million Disaster Relief Grant Program that was established in late September 2005.

The Bank, together with the other FHLBanks, is assessed for the cost of operating the Finance Board and the Office of Finance. The Bank’s share of these expenses totaled $869,000 and $1,777,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to $929,000 and $1,886,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

AHP and REFCORP Assessments

As required by statute, each year the Bank contributes 10 percent of its earnings (after the REFCORP assessment discussed below and as adjusted for interest expense on mandatorily redeemable capital stock) to its AHP. The AHP provides grants that members can use to support affordable housing projects in their communities. Generally, the Bank’s AHP assessment is derived by adding interest expense on mandatorily redeemable capital stock to income before assessments and then subtracting the REFCORP assessment; the result of this calculation is then multiplied by 10 percent. For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Bank’s AHP assessments totaled $3.7 million and ($7.1 million), respectively. The Bank’s AHP assessments totaled $7.1 million and ($4.0 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Also as required by statute, the Bank contributes 20 percent of its reported earnings (after its AHP contribution) toward the payment of interest on REFCORP bonds that were issued to provide funding for the resolution of failed thrifts following the savings and loan crisis in the 1980s. To compute the REFCORP assessment, the Bank’s AHP assessment is subtracted from reported income before assessments and the result is multiplied by 20 percent. For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Bank’s REFCORP assessments totaled $7.0 million and ($16.6 million), respectively. The Bank’s REFCORP assessments totaled $13.9 million and ($10.3 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A discussion of the Bank’s critical accounting policies and the extent to which management uses judgment and estimates in applying those policies is provided in the Bank’s Amended Form 10. There were no substantial changes to the Bank’s critical accounting policies, or the extent to which management uses judgment and estimates in applying those policies, during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In order to meet members’ credit needs and the Bank’s financial obligations, the Bank maintains a portfolio of money market instruments consisting of overnight federal funds, term federal funds, and commercial paper, all of which are issued by highly rated entities. The Bank typically holds additional balances of short-term investments that fluctuate as the Bank invests the proceeds of debt issued to replace maturing and called liabilities and as the balance of deposits changes. Overnight federal funds typically comprise the majority of the portfolio. At June 30, 2006, the Bank’s short-term investments, which were comprised entirely of overnight federal funds sold to domestic counterparties, totaled $2.4 billion.

The Bank’s primary source of funds is the proceeds it receives from the issuance of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes in the capital markets. The market for the FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations is very active and liquid. The FHLBanks generally issue debt continuously throughout the business day in the form of discount notes and bonds with a wide variety of maturities and structures. The Bank has access to this market on a continual basis to acquire funds to meet its needs. On occasion, and as an alternative to issuing new debt, the Bank may assume the outstanding consolidated obligations for which other FHLBanks are the original primary obligors. This occurs in cases where the original primary obligor may have participated in a large consolidated obligation issue to an extent that exceeded its immediate funding needs in order to facilitate better market execution for the issue. The original primary obligor might then warehouse the funds until they were needed, or make the funds available to other FHLBanks. Transfers may also occur when the original primary obligor’s funding needs change, and that FHLBank offers to transfer debt that is no longer needed to other FHLBanks. Transferred debt is typically fixed rate, fixed term, non-callable debt, and may be in the form of discount notes or bonds.

The Bank participates in such transfers of funding from other FHLBanks when the transfer represents favorable pricing relative to a new issue of consolidated obligations with similar features. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Bank assumed consolidated obligation bonds from the FHLBank of Chicago with a par amount of $250 million. There were no such transfers during the six months ended June 30, 2006 or the three months ended March 31, 2005.

The Bank also maintains access to wholesale funding sources such as federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase (e.g., borrowings secured by its MBS investments).

The Bank manages its liquidity to ensure that, at a minimum, it has sufficient funds to meet its obligations due on any given day plus the statistically estimated (at the 99-percent confidence level) cash and credit needs of its members and associates for one business day without accessing the capital market for the sale of consolidated obligations. As of June 30, 2006, the Bank’s estimated operational liquidity requirement was $1.3 billion. At that date, the Bank estimated that its operational liquidity exceeded this requirement by approximately $9.6 billion.

The Bank’s liquidity policy further requires that it maintain adequate balance sheet liquidity and access to other funding sources should it be unable to issue consolidated obligations for five business days. The combination of funds available from these sources must be sufficient for the Bank to meet its obligations as they come due and the cash and credit needs of its members, with the potential needs of members statistically estimated at the 99-percent confidence level. As of June 30, 2006, the Bank’s estimated contingent liquidity requirement was $2.3 billion. At that date, the Bank estimated that its contingent liquidity exceeded this requirement by approximately $8.5 billion.

When measuring its liquidity for these purposes, the Bank includes only the amount of funds it estimates would be available in the event the Bank were to pledge securities held in its long-term investment portfolio. While it believes purchased federal funds might be available, it does not include this potential source of funds in its calculations of available liquidity.

The Bank’s access to the capital markets has never been interrupted to an extent that the Bank’s ability to meet its obligations was compromised and the Bank currently has no reason to believe that its ability to issue consolidated obligations will be impeded to that extent. However, if the capital markets were inaccessible for an extended period of time (i.e., beyond five days), the Bank would eventually exhaust the availability of purchased federal funds and repurchase agreements as sources of funds, and the Bank would be able to finance its operations only to the extent that the cash inflows from its interest-earning assets and proceeds from maturing assets exceeded the balance of principal and interest that came due on its debt obligations and the funds needed to pay its operating expenses. Once these sources of funds had been exhausted, and if access to the capital markets were not again available, the Bank’s ability to conduct its operations would be compromised. It is also possible that an event (such as a natural disaster) that might impede the Bank’s ability to raise funds by issuing consolidated obligations would also limit the Bank’s ability to access the markets for federal funds purchased and/or repurchase agreements. If this were the case, the Bank’s ability to conduct its operations would be compromised even earlier than if these funding sources were available.

A summary of the Bank’s contractual cash obligations and off-balance-sheet lending-related financial commitments by due date or remaining maturity as of December 31, 2005 is provided in the Bank’s Amended Form 10. There have been no substantial changes in the Bank’s contractual obligations outside the normal course of business during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

In September 2004, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System announced that it had revised its Policy Statement on Payments System Risk (“PSR Policy”) concerning interest and principal payments on securities issued by GSEs and certain international organizations. Prior to July 20, 2006, the Federal Reserve Banks processed and posted these payments to depository institutions’ Federal Reserve accounts by 9:15 a.m. Eastern Time, the same posting time as for U.S. Treasury securities’ interest and principal payments, even if the issuer had not fully funded its payments. Under its revised PSR Policy, beginning July 20, 2006, Federal Reserve Banks began releasing these interest and principal payments as directed by the issuer only if the issuer’s Federal Reserve account contains sufficient funds to cover the payments. While the issuer determines the timing of these payments during the day, each issuer is required to fund its interest and principal payments by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time in order for the payments to be processed that day.

The revised PSR Policy changed the timing of principal and interest payments on consolidated obligations, which typically are now made later in the day. In response to the revised PSR Policy, the 12 FHLBanks and the Office of Finance entered into the Federal Home Loan Banks P&I Funding and Contingency Plan Agreement (the “Agreement”) on June 23, 2006. The Agreement and related procedures were entered into in order to facilitate the timely funding of principal and interest payments on FHLBank System consolidated obligations in the event that a FHLBank is not able to meet its funding obligations in a timely manner. The Agreement and related procedures provide for the issuance of overnight consolidated obligations directly to one or more FHLBanks that provide funds to avoid a shortfall in the timely payment of principal and interest on any consolidated obligations for which another FHLBank is the primary obligor. Specifically, in the event that one or more FHLBanks does not fund its principal and interest payments under a consolidated obligation by deadlines agreed upon by the FHLBanks and the Office of Finance (for purposes of the Agreement, a “Delinquent Bank”), the non-Delinquent Banks will be obligated to fund any shortfall in funding to the extent that any of the non-Delinquent Banks has a net positive settlement balance (i.e., the amount by which end-of-day proceeds received by such non-Delinquent Bank from the sale of consolidated obligations on one day exceeds payments by such non-Delinquent Bank on consolidated obligations on the same day) in its account with the Office of Finance on the day the shortfall occurs. A FHLBank that funds the shortfall of a Delinquent Bank is referred to in the Agreement as a “Contingency Bank.” The non-Delinquent Banks would fund the shortfall of the Delinquent Bank sequentially in accordance with an agreed-upon funding matrix as provided in the Agreement. Additionally, a non-Delinquent Bank could choose to voluntarily fund any shortfall not funded on a mandatory basis by another non-Delinquent Bank. To fund the shortfall of a Delinquent Bank, the Office of Finance will issue to the Contingency Bank on behalf of the Delinquent Bank a consolidated obligation with a maturity of one business day in the amount of the shortfall funded by the Contingency Bank (a “Plan CO”).

On the day that a Plan CO is issued, each non-Delinquent Bank (other than the Contingency Bank that purchased the Plan CO) becomes obligated to purchase a pro rata share of the Plan CO from the Contingency Bank (each such

non-Delinquent Bank being a “Reallocation Bank”). The pro rata share for each Reallocation Bank will be calculated based upon the aggregate amount of outstanding consolidated obligations for which each Reallocation Bank and the Contingency Bank were primarily liable as of the preceding month-end. Settlement of the purchase by the Reallocation Banks of their pro rata shares of the Plan CO will occur on the second business day following the date on which the Plan CO was issued only if the Plan CO is not repaid on the first business day following its issuance, either by the Delinquent Bank or by another FHLBank.

The Finance Board recently granted a waiver requested by the Office of Finance to allow the direct placement by a FHLBank of consolidated obligations with another FHLBank in those instances when direct placement of consolidated obligations is necessary to ensure that sufficient funds are available to timely pay all principal and interest on FHLBank System consolidated obligations due on a particular day. In connection with this waiver, the terms of which became effective July 1, 2006, the Finance Board imposed a requirement that the interest rate to be paid on any consolidated obligation issued under such circumstances must be at least 500 basis points above the then current federal funds rate.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Plan COs will bear interest calculated on an actual/360 basis at a rate equal to (i) the overnight fed funds quote obtained by the Office of Finance or (ii) the actual cost if the Contingency Bank purchases funds in the open market for delivery to the Office of Finance. Additionally, a Delinquent Bank will be required to pay additional interest on the amount of any Plan CO based on the number of times that FHLBank has been a Delinquent Bank. The interest is 500 basis points per annum for the first delinquency, 750 basis points per annum for the second delinquency and 1,000 basis points per annum for subsequent delinquencies. The first 100 basis points of additional interest will be paid to the Contingency Banks that purchased the Plan CO. Additional interest in excess of 100 basis points will be paid to the non-Delinquent Banks in equal shares.

The initial term of the Agreement commenced on July 20, 2006 and ends on December 31, 2008 (the “Initial Term”). The Agreement will then automatically renew for successive three-year terms (each a “Renewal Term”) unless at least one year prior to the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term at least one-third of the FHLBanks give notice to the other FHLBanks and the Office of Finance of their intention to terminate the Agreement at the end of such Initial Term or Renewal Term. The notice must include an explanation from those FHLBanks of their reasons for taking such action. Under the terms of the Agreement, the FHLBanks and the Office of Finance have agreed to endeavor in good faith to address any such reasons by amending the Agreement so that all FHLBanks and the Office of Finance agree that the Agreement, as amended, will remain in effect.

While it is difficult to predict the future effects, if any, that the change to the PSR Policy will have on the FHLBanks, the change has thus far not had a significant impact on the Bank’s operations, nor is it expected to have a significant impact on its future operations. Through the date of this report, no Plan COs have been issued pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.

Risk-Based Capital Rules and Other Capital Requirements

Upon implementation of its capital plan on September 2, 2003, the Bank became subject to the Finance Board’s new risk-based capital rules and other capital requirements. This regulatory framework requires each FHLBank that has implemented its new capital plan to maintain at all times permanent capital (defined under the Finance Board’s rules as retained earnings and amounts paid in for Class B stock, regardless of its classification as equity or liabilities for financial reporting purposes, as further described above in the section entitled “Financial Condition – Capital Stock”) in an amount at least equal to its risk-based capital requirement, which is the sum of its credit risk capital requirement, its market risk capital requirement, and its operations risk capital requirement, as further described in the Bank’s Amended Form 10. For reasons of safety and soundness, the Finance Board may require the Bank, or any other FHLBank that has already converted to its new capital structure, to maintain a greater amount of permanent capital than is required by the risk-based capital requirements as defined. At June 30, 2006, the Bank’s credit risk, market risk and operations risk capital requirements were $138 million, $212 million and $105 million, respectively.

In addition to the risk-based capital requirement, the Bank is subject to two other capital requirements. First, the Bank must, at all times, maintain a minimum total capital to assets ratio of 4.0 percent. For this purpose, total

capital is defined by Finance Board rules and regulations as the Bank’s permanent capital and the amount of any general allowance for losses (i.e., those reserves that are not held against specific assets). Second, the Bank is required to maintain at all times a minimum leverage capital to assets ratio in an amount at least equal to 5.0 percent of its total assets. In applying this requirement to the Bank, leverage capital includes the Bank’s permanent capital multiplied by a factor of 1.5 plus the amount of any general allowance for losses. The Bank did not have any general reserves at June 30, 2006 or December 31, 2005. Under the regulatory definitions, total capital and permanent capital exclude accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Bank is required to submit monthly capital compliance reports to the Finance Board. At all times during the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Bank was in compliance with these capital requirements. The following table summarizes the Bank’s compliance with the Finance Board’s capital requirements as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
(In millions of dollars, except percentages)


	June 30, 2006						December 31, 2005
	Required			Actual			Required			Actual
Risk-based capital	$	455		$	2,678		$	531		$	2,796

Total capital	$	2,291		$	2,678		$	2,594		$	2,796
Total capital-to-assets ratio		4.00	%		4.68	%		4.00	%		4.31	%

Leverage capital	$	2,864		$	4,017		$	3,243		$	4,195
Leverage capital-to-assets ratio		5.00	%		7.01	%		5.00	%		6.47	%

The Bank’s Risk Management Policy contains a minimum total capital-to-assets target ratio of 4.10 percent, higher than the 4.00 percent ratio required under the Finance Board’s capital rules. At all times during the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Bank’s total capital, as defined by Finance Board regulations, exceeded the Bank’s target operating capital ratio.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations

SFAS 154

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 154,“Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3”(“SFAS 154”). Among other things, SFAS 154 requires retrospective application, unless impracticable, to prior periods’ financial statements of voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 also makes a distinction between “retrospective application” of a change in accounting principle and the “restatement” of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. SFAS 154 carries forward without change the guidance contained in APB Opinion No. 20 for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and a change in accounting estimate. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Bank adopted SFAS 154 on January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 154 has thus far not had any impact on the Bank’s results of operations or financial condition as no accounting changes have been made since January 1, 2006.

DIG Issues B38 and B39

In June 2005, the FASB’s Derivatives Implementation Group (“DIG”) issued DIG Issue B38,“Embedded Derivatives: Evaluation of Net Settlement with Respect to the Settlement of a Debt Instrument through Exercise of an Embedded Put Option or Call Option”(“DIG B38”), and DIG Issue B39,“Embedded Derivatives: Application ofParagraph 13(b) to Call Options That Are Exercisable Only by the Debtor”(“DIG B39”). Both issues provide additional guidance in applying the provisions of SFAS 133. The guidance in DIG B38 clarifies that the potential settlement of an obligation upon exercise of a put option or call option (including a prepayment option) meets the net settlement criterion of a derivative. DIG B39 clarifies that a right to accelerate the settlement of an obligation is

considered clearly and closely related to the debt host contract if the respective embedded call option can be exercised only by the debtor (issuer/borrower). The Bank adopted both DIG issues as of January 1, 2006 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Bank’s results of operations or financial condition.

FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1

In November 2005, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1,“The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”(“FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1”), which addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 clarifies that an investor should recognize an impairment loss no later than when the impairment is deemed other than temporary, even if a decision to sell has not been made. FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The Bank adopted FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 as of January 1, 2006 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Bank’s results of operations or financial condition.

SFAS 155

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”(“SFAS 155”). SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 to simplify the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting (through an irrevocable election) fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided the hybrid financial instrument is measured in its entirety at fair value (with changes in fair value recognized currently in earnings). SFAS 155 also establishes a requirement to evaluate beneficial interests in securitized financial assets to determine whether they are freestanding derivatives or whether they are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation. This guidance replaces the interim guidance in DIG Issue D1,“Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.”SFAS 155 also amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125”to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including financial statements for any interim period for that fiscal year. The Bank elected to adopt SFAS 155 as of January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 155 has thus far not had any impact on the Bank’s results of operations or financial condition as the Bank has not elected to apply the fair value measurement option to any hybrid financial instruments.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The following quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk should be read in conjunction with the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk that are included in the Bank’s Amended Form 10. The information provided herein is intended to update the disclosures made in the Amended Form 10.

Interest Rate Risk

As a financial intermediary, the Bank is subject to interest rate risk. Changes in the level of interest rates, the slope of the interest rate yield curve, or in the relationships (or spreads) between interest yields for different instruments have an impact on the Bank’s market value of equity and its net earnings. This risk arises from a variety of instruments that the Bank enters into on a regular basis in the normal course of its business.

The terms of member advances, investment securities, and the Bank’s consolidated obligations present interest rate risk and embedded option risk. As discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the Bank makes extensive use of derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps, to hedge the risk arising from these sources.

The Bank has investments in MBS and MPF mortgage loans, both of which present prepayment risk. This risk arises from the uncertainty of when the mortgagees will repay their mortgages, making these mortgage-based assets sensitive to changes in interest rates. A decline in interest rates generally results in accelerated prepayment activity, shortening the effective maturity of the assets. Conversely, rising rates generally slow prepayment activity and lengthen an asset’s effective maturity.

The prepayment risk embedded in these mortgage assets is managed by purchasing highly structured tranches of mortgage securities that limit the effects of prepayment risk, by purchasing floating rate securities, by using interest rate derivative instruments to offset prepayment risk specific both to particular securities and the mortgage portfolio, and by purchasing options through callable debt issued to fund the mortgage loans.

The Bank’s Risk Management Policy restricts the amount of overall interest rate risk the Bank may assume by limiting the maximum estimated loss in market value of equity that the Bank would incur under simulated 200 basis point changes in interest rates to 15 percent. The Bank develops its funding and hedging strategies to ensure compliance with these risk limits.

The base case market value of equity is calculated by determining the estimated fair value of each instrument on the Bank’s balance sheet, and subtracting the estimated aggregate fair value of the Bank’s liabilities from the estimated aggregate fair value of the Bank’s assets. For purposes of these calculations, mandatorily redeemable capital stock is treated as equity rather than as a liability. The fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments (both assets and liabilities) are calculated based on current market conditions, and are generally determined by discounting estimated future cash flows at the replacement (or similar) rate for new instruments of the same type with the same or very similar characteristics. The market value of equity calculations include non-financial assets and liabilities, such as premises and equipment, other assets, payables for AHP and REFCORP, and other liabilities at their recorded carrying amounts.

For purposes of compliance with the Bank’s Risk Management Policy limit on estimated losses in market value, market value of equity losses are defined as the estimated net sensitivity of the value of the Bank’s equity (the net value of its portfolio of assets, liabilities and interest rate derivatives) to 200 basis point parallel shifts in interest rates. The following table provides the Bank’s estimated base case market value of equity and its estimated market value of equity under up and down 200 basis point interest rate shock scenarios (and, for comparative purposes, its estimated market value of equity under up and down 100 basis point interest rate shock scenarios) for each month during the period from December 2005 to June 2006. In addition, the table provides the percentage change in estimated market value of equity under each of these shock scenarios for the indicated periods.

June 2006		2.605		2.467		-5.31	%		2.626		0.79	%		2.554		-1.98	%		2.627		0.85	%


In the up 100 and up 200 scenarios, the estimated market value of equity is calculated under assumed instantaneous + 100 and + 200 basis point parallel shifts in interest rates. In the down 100 and down 200 simulations, market value of equity is calculated under the assumption that interest rates instantaneously decline by 100 and 200 basis points, respectively.

A related measure of interest rate risk is duration of equity. Duration is the weighted average maturity (typically measured in months or years) of an instrument’s cash flows, weighted by the present value of those cash flows. As

such, duration provides an estimate of an instrument’s sensitivity to small changes in market interest rates. The duration of assets is generally expressed as a positive figure, while the duration of liabilities is generally expressed as a negative number. The change in value of a specific instrument for given changes in interest rates will generally vary in inverse proportion to the instrument’s duration. As market interest rates decline, instruments with a positive duration are expected to increase in value, while instruments with a negative duration are expected to decrease in value. Conversely, as interest rates rise, instruments with a positive duration are expected to decline in value, while instruments with a negative duration are expected to increase in value.

The values of instruments having relatively longer (or higher) durations are more sensitive to a given interest rate movement than instruments having shorter durations; that is, risk increases as the absolute value of duration lengthens. For instance, the value of an instrument with a duration of three years will theoretically change by three percent for every one percentage point change in interest rates, while an instrument with a duration of five years will theoretically change by five percent for every one percentage point change in interest rates.

The duration of individual instruments may be easily combined to determine the duration of a portfolio of assets or liabilities by calculating a weighted average duration of the instruments in the portfolio. Such combinations provide a single straightforward metric that describes the portfolio’s sensitivity to interest rate movements. These additive properties can be applied to the assets and liabilities on the Bank’s balance sheet. The difference between the combined durations of the Bank’s assets and the combined durations of its liabilities is sometimes referred to as duration gap and provides a measure of the relative interest rate sensitivities of the Bank’s assets and liabilities.

Duration gap is a useful measure of interest rate sensitivity but does not account for the effect of leverage, or the effect of the absolute duration of the Bank’s assets and liabilities, on the sensitivity of its estimated market value of equity to changes in interest rates. The inclusion of these factors results in a measure of the sensitivity of the value of the Bank’s equity to changes in market interest rates referred to as the duration of equity. Duration of equity is the market value weighted duration of assets minus the market value weighted duration of liabilities divided by the market value of equity.

The significance of an entity’s duration of equity is that it can be used to describe the sensitivity of the entity’s market value of equity and future profitability to movements in interest rates. A duration of equity equal to zero would mean, within a narrow range of interest rate movements, that the Bank had neutralized the impact of changes in interest rates on the market value of its equity.

A positive duration of equity would mean, within a narrow range of interest rate movements, that for each one year of duration the estimated value of the Bank’s equity would be expected to decline by about 0.01 percent for every 0.01 percent change in the level of interest rates. A positive duration generally indicates that the value of the Bank’s assets is more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the value of its liabilities (i.e., that the duration of its assets is greater than the duration of its liabilities).

Conversely, a negative duration of equity would mean, within a narrow range of interest rate movements, that for each one year of negative duration the estimated value of the Bank’s equity would be expected to increase by about 0.01 percent for every 0.01 percent change in the level of interest rates. A negative duration generally indicates that the value of the Bank’s liabilities is more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the value of its assets (i.e., that the duration of its liabilities is greater than the duration of its assets).

The following table provides information regarding the Bank’s base case duration of equity as well as its duration of equity in up and down 100 and 200 basis point interest rate shock scenarios for each month during the period from December 2005 through June 2006.

In the up 100 and up 200 scenarios, the duration of equity is calculated under assumed instantaneous +100 and + 200 basis points parallel shifts in interest rates. In the down 100 and down 200 simulations, duration of equity is calculated under the assumption that interest rates instantaneously decline by 100 or 200 basis points, respectively.

Counterparty Credit Risk

By entering into interest rate exchange agreements, the Bank generally converts a defined market risk to the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation in the future. The Bank manages this credit risk by spreading its transactions among many highly rated counterparties, by entering into collateral exchange agreements with all counterparties that include minimum collateral thresholds based on credit ratings, and by monitoring its exposure to each counterparty at least monthly. In addition, all of the Bank’s collateral exchange agreements include master netting arrangements whereby the fair values of all interest rate derivatives with each counterparty are offset for purposes of determining credit exposure. The collateral exchange agreements require the delivery of collateral generally consisting of very liquid, highly rated asset types if maximum credit risk exposures rise above the minimum thresholds. The maximum credit risk exposure is the cost, on a present value basis, of replacing at current market rates all interest rate exchange agreements with a counterparty with whom the Bank is in a net gain position. The following table provides information regarding the Bank’s derivative counterparty credit exposure as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Bank’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer (performing the function of the principal financial officer of the Bank), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in: (1) recording, processing, summarizing and reporting information required to be disclosed by the Bank in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Bank in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Bank’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following is intended to update the risk factors included in our amended Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2006. Other than as described below, there are no other significant changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Amended Form 10.

Loss of large members or borrowers could result in lower investment returns and higher borrowing rates for remaining members.

Disclosure Provided in Our Amended Form 10

One or more large members or large borrowers could withdraw their membership or decrease their business levels as a result of a consolidation with an institution that is not one of our members, or for other reasons, which could lead to a significant decrease in our total assets and capital. For instance, in February 2001, Washington Mutual Bank, a Nevada-chartered thrift institution, acquired Bank United, which was then our largest stockholder and borrower accounting for approximately 25 percent of our then outstanding advances, and dissolved Bank United’s Ninth District charter. Washington Mutual Bank assumed Bank United’s advances, which we currently anticipate will remain outstanding and fully collateralized until their maturities in 2006 — 2008, but Washington Mutual Bank cannot borrow any additional amounts or replace the current advances when they mature. Outstanding advances to Washington Mutual Bank were $7.5 billion at December 31, 2005, which constituted approximately 16 percent of our outstanding advances as of that date.

As the financial services industry continues to consolidate, additional acquisitions that lead to the loss of one or more of our larger borrowers are possible. In particular, Texas is generally regarded as a large and attractive banking market and institutions outside our District often seek to enter this market by acquiring existing banks, many of which are our members. In some cases, the acquired banks are merged into banks located outside our District. Because under the FHLB Act and the Finance Board’s current rules we can generally only do business with member institutions that have charters in our District, we could be adversely impacted if member institutions are acquired by institutions outside our District and their charters are dissolved or consolidated with the acquiring institution.

In the event we lose one or more large borrowers that represent a significant proportion of our business, we could, depending on the magnitude of the impact, compensate for the loss by lowering dividend rates, raising advances rates, attempting to reduce operating expenses (which could cause a reduction in service levels), or by undertaking some combination of these actions. The magnitude of the impact would depend, in part, on our size and profitability at the time the institution ceases to be a borrower.

Update to Disclosure in Our Amended Form 10

On May 7, 2006, Wachovia Corporation (NYSE:WB) announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire Golden West Financial Corporation (NYSE:GDW), the holding company for World Savings Bank, FSB Texas (World Savings), our largest borrower and stockholder as of June 30, 2006. Outstanding advances to World Savings were $13.2 billion at June 30, 2006, which represented 29.3 percent of our total outstanding advances as of that date. Completion of the transaction, which the parties expect to close in the fourth quarter of 2006, is subject to shareholder approvals by both companies and normal regulatory approvals. We are currently unable to predict whether Wachovia Corporation (domiciled in the Fourth District of the FHLBank System) will maintain World Savings’ Ninth District charter and, if so, to what extent, if any, it may alter World Savings’ relationship with us. For a more complete discussion of the potential impact that this proposed acquisition could have on us, as well as the impact of other completed or pending acquisitions of Bank members, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Advances in Part I / Item 2 of this quarterly report.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

The following is intended to provide information that may be deemed important by security holders, even though such information is not required to be furnished in any SEC reports.

The Bank maintains an incentive compensation program (Variable Pay Program, or VPP) for all regular, full-time employees, including its named executive officers, under which employees have the opportunity to earn an annual bonus. All VPP awards are calculated as a percentage of an employee’s base salary as of the beginning of the year to which the bonus payment pertains (or, on a pro-rated basis, the employee’s base salary as of his or her start date if hired during the year on or before September 15). The VPP provides for the same method of allocation of benefits between management and non-management participants. Potential individual award percentages vary based upon an employee’s job grade level. The VPP may be modified or cancelled at any time at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.

Award payments under the VPP depend upon the extent to which the Bank achieves a non-GAAP corporate profitability objective and a number of corporate operational goals, as well as the extent to which individual employees achieve specific individual goals and whether they achieve satisfactory performance ratings. The corporate profitability and operational goals are established annually by the Bank’s Board of Directors, and individual employee goals are established annually by management.

The amount of the potential VPP award pool that is available for bonuses in a year depends upon the extent to which the Bank’s corporate profitability objective is achieved within minimum and maximum levels. If the Bank does not achieve its minimum profitability objective, then no award payments are made under the VPP even if the Bank has achieved some or all of its corporate operating goals and/or individual employees have achieved some or all of their individual performance goals. Similarly, if the Bank does not achieve some portion of its corporate operating goals, no award payments are made even if the Bank has achieved its profitability objective and/or individual employees have achieved some or all of their individual performance goals.

While the Bank’s corporate operating objectives vary from year to year, they typically fall into two broad categories: (a) expanding the Bank’s traditional business, including new initiatives, and (b) economic and community development. Each corporate operating objective is assigned a specific percentage weighting. For 2006, the Board of Directors established eight separate VPP corporate operating objectives, with specific percentage weightings ranging from 5 percent to 25 percent. In August 2006, the Board of Directors modified two of the eight corporate operating goals, with an aggregate weighting of 30 percent, to take into account the unforeseen effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita on the Bank’s business activity.

Once the total amount of funds in the VPP award pool has been determined based upon the level of achievement of the Bank’s corporate profitability and operating objectives, the calculation of individual bonus awards is based upon employee performance and the maximum award percentage assigned to an employee’s job grade level. An employee’s performance is determined based upon his or her appraisal rating and the extent to which the employee achieves his or her individual performance goals.
