Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited, $ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)


Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying interim financial statements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions provided by Article 10, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in our 2010 Form 10-K.

The financial statements contain all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.

Our significant accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in the notes to the audited financial statements in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2010 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these policies as of September 30, 2011.

All dollar amounts included in the notes are presented in thousands, unless otherwise indicated. We use certain acronyms and terms throughout this Form 10-Q which are defined in the Glossary of Terms located after Item 6. Exhibits. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us," and "our" refer to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis.

Reclassifications. We have reclassified certain amounts from the prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on Net Income, Total Assets, or Total Capital.

Correction of an Error. During the preparation of the third quarter 2011 Form 10-Q, we determined that in periods prior to September 30, 2011, we incorrectly included the effects of certain non-cash transactions related to capitalized interest on Other U.S. obligations - guaranteed RMBS in the Net Cash provided by (used in) Operating Activities and Net Cash provided by (used in) Investing Activities sections of the Statements of Cash Flows. Such non-cash transactions should have had no impact on those sections. We have evaluated the effects of these errors and concluded that none of them are material to any of the Bank's previously issued quarterly or annual Financial Statements. Nevertheless, we have elected to revise in this report and future filings our Statements of Cash Flows to correct for the effect of these errors. The revision does not affect the net change in cash and cash equivalents for any of the periods, and has no effect on our Statements of Condition, Income or Capital.

The amounts on prior period Statements of Cash Flows that have been revised are summarized below:

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make subjective assumptions and estimates that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expense. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Variable Interest Entities. We have investments in VIEs that include, but are not limited to, senior interests in private-label MBS and ABS. The carrying amounts of the investments are included in HTM and AFS securities on the Statement of Condition. We have no liabilities related to these VIEs. The maximum loss exposure to these VIEs is limited to the carrying value of our investments in the VIEs.





Notes to Financial Statements, continued
(Unaudited, $ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)


If we were to determine that we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we would be required to consolidate that VIE. On a quarterly basis we perform an evaluation to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary in any VIE. To perform this evaluation, we consider whether we possess both of the following characteristics:

the power to direct the VIE's activities that most significantly affect the VIE's economic performance; and
the obligation to absorb the VIE's losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Based on an evaluation of the above characteristics, we have determined that consolidation is not required for our VIEs as of September 30, 2011. In addition, we have not provided financial or other support (explicitly or implicitly) to any VIE during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2011. Furthermore, we were not previously contractually required to provide, nor do we intend to provide, such support to any VIE in the future.

Office of Finance Expenses. Effective January 1, 2011, our proportionate share of the Office of Finance operating and capital expenditures is calculated using a formula that is based upon two components as follows: (i) two-thirds based on our share of Consolidated Obligations outstanding and (ii) one-third based on equal pro-rata share among the 12 FHLBanks. These regular assessments are determined on a monthly basis. In addition, we are apportioned special assessments using the same calculation for specific system-wide expenditures related to audit fees and rating agency annual relationship fees. Any ratings agency subscription fees are assessed as incurred on a per user basis and directly to the applicable FHLBank(s).

Prior to January 1, 2011, we were assessed for the costs of operating the Office of Finance based equally on each FHLBank's percentage of Capital Stock, percentage of Consolidated Obligations issued and percentage of Consolidated Obligations outstanding.

Subsequent Events. In preparing this Form 10-Q, we have evaluated events and considered transactions through the time of filing our third quarter 2011 Form 10-Q with the SEC.

Note 2 - Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. On January 21, 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures. We adopted this amended guidance as of January 1, 2010, except for required disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity for Level 3 fair value measurements, which we adopted as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of this amended guidance resulted in increased interim and annual financial statement disclosures, but did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 16 - Estimated Fair Values for additional disclosures required under this amended guidance.

On May 12, 2011, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board issued substantially converged guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. This guidance clarifies how fair value accounting should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within GAAP or International Financial Reporting Standards; this guidance does not require additional fair value measurements. This guidance generally represents clarifications to the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements, as well as some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2011, and should be applied prospectively. Early application by public entities is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance may result in increased interim and annual financial statement disclosures, but is not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. On July 21, 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance to enhance disclosures about the credit quality of an entity's financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The required disclosures as of the end of a reporting period became effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The required disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period became effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this amended guidance resulted in increased interim and annual financial statement disclosures, but did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses for additional disclosures required under this amended guidance.




Notes to Financial Statements, continued
(Unaudited, $ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)


A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. On January 19, 2011, the FASB issued guidance to defer temporarily the effective date of disclosures about troubled debt restructurings required by the amended guidance on disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The effective date for these new disclosures was deferred pending further guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring.

On April 5, 2011, the FASB issued guidance to clarify which debt modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings. This guidance is intended to help creditors determine whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for presenting previously deferred disclosures related to troubled debt restructurings. This guidance became effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011. As required, we applied the new guidance to troubled debt restructurings occurring on or after January 1, 2011. The adoption of this amended guidance resulted in increased interim and annual financial statement disclosures but did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses for the additional disclosures.

Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. On April 29, 2011, the FASB issued guidance to improve the accounting for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. This guidance amends the existing criteria for determining whether or not a transferor has retained effective control over financial assets transferred under a repurchase agreement. A secured borrowing is recorded when effective control over the transferred financial assets is maintained, while a sale is recorded when effective control over the transferred financial assets has not been maintained. The new guidance removes from the assessment of effective control: (i) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of the transferee's default, and (ii) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. This guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of this amended guidance on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Presentation of Comprehensive Income. On June 16, 2011, the FASB issued guidance to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements. This guidance requires an entity that reports items of other comprehensive income to present comprehensive income in either a single financial statement or in two consecutive financial statements. In a single continuous statement, an entity is required to present the components and amount of net income, the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, as well as a total for comprehensive income. In a two-statement approach, an entity is required to present the components and amount of net income in its statement of net income. The statement of other comprehensive income should follow immediately and include the components of other comprehensive income as well as totals for both other comprehensive income and comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. This guidance is effective as of the beginning of a fiscal reporting year, and interim periods within that year, that begin after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. We plan to elect the two-statement approach noted above for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2012, and will apply this guidance retrospectively for all periods presented in accordance with the guidance. The adoption of this guidance will be limited to increased interim and annual financial statement disclosures and will not affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Disclosures about an Employer's Participation in a Multiemployer Plan. On September 21, 2011, the FASB issued guidance to enhance disclosures about an employer's participation in a multiemployer pension plan. These disclosures will provide users with the following: (i) additional administrative information about an employer's participation in significant multiemployer plans; (ii) an employer's participation level in these plans, including contributions made and whether contributions exceed 5% of total contributions made to a plan; (iii) the financial health of these plans, including information about funded status and funding improvement plans, as applicable; and (iv) the nature of employer commitments to the plan, including expiration dates of collective bargaining agreements and whether such agreements require minimum plan contributions. Previously, disclosures were limited primarily to the historical contributions made to all multiemployer pension plans. This guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2011, and will be applied retrospectively for all prior periods presented. We participate in a multiple employer pension plan, but follow disclosure requirements for multiemployer pension plans. The adoption of this guidance will result in increased annual financial statement disclosures, but will not affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Amortized cost of AFS securities includes adjustments made to the cost basis of an investment for accretion, amortization, collection of cash, and, if applicable, OTTI recognized in earnings (credit losses).

At September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, 95% and 85%, respectively, of amortized cost of our fixed-rate AFS securities were swapped to a variable rate, and none of our variable-rate AFS securities were swapped.

Premiums and Discounts. At September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the amortized cost of our MBS classified as AFS securities included OTTI credit losses, OTTI-related accretion adjustments, and net purchase discounts on OTTI securities totaling $116,650 and $122,173, respectively.

Reconciliations of Amounts in AOCI. Subsequent unrealized gains and losses in the fair value of previously OTTI AFS securities are netted against the non-credit component of OTTI in AOCI in the Statement of Condition.

Securities Transferred. In the three months ended September 30, 2011, we transferred one private-label RMBS from HTM to AFS due to management's change in intent to no longer necessarily hold this security to maturity resulting from a significant deterioration in the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. Such deterioration was evidenced by an OTTI credit loss for this security in the three months ended September 30, 2011. At the time of transfer, this security had an unpaid principal balance of $19,382 and a net carrying value (i.e., amortized cost net of non-credit losses) of $13,822. As a result of the transfer, we recorded an unrealized gain of $3,421.

(1) 
Amortized cost includes adjustments made to the cost basis of an investment for accretion, amortization, collection of cash, and, if applicable, OTTI recognized in earnings (credit losses).
(2) 
Carrying value of HTM securities represents amortized cost after adjustment for non-credit OTTI recognized in AOCI.
(3) 
Gross unrecognized holding gains (losses) represents the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value.

Premiums and Discounts. At September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the amortized cost of our MBS and ABS HTM securities included credit losses, OTTI-related accretion adjustments, and purchase premiums and discounts totaling $55,644 and $61,001, respectively.

Capitalized Interest. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we capitalized interest on Other U.S. obligations - guaranteed RMBS of $5,347 and $21,781, respectively, compared to $10,010 and $27,817 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

Redemption Terms. The amortized cost, carrying value and estimated fair value of non-MBS and ABS HTM securities by contractual maturity are presented below. MBS and ABS are not presented by contractual maturity because their expected maturities will likely differ from contractual maturities as borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment fees.

Realized Gains and Losses.  There were no sales of HTM securities during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2011, or 2010.

Note 5 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Analysis

We evaluate our individual AFS and HTM securities that have been previously OTTI or are in an unrealized loss position for OTTI on a quarterly basis. As part of our evaluation, we consider our intent to sell each of these securities and whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, we recognize an OTTI equal to the entire difference between the security's amortized cost basis and its fair value at the Statement of Condition date. For those securities that meet neither of these conditions, we perform an analysis to determine whether we expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security as described in Note 7 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Analysis in our 2010 Form 10-K.

OTTI Evaluation Process and Results - Private-label RMBS and ABS. Our evaluation includes an estimation of the cash flows that we are likely to collect based on an assessment of the structure of each security and certain assumptions such as:

the remaining payment terms for the security;
prepayment speeds;
default rates;
loss severity on the collateral supporting our security based on underlying loan-level borrower and loan characteristics;
expected housing price changes; and
interest rates.





Notes to Financial Statements, continued
(Unaudited, $ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)


A significant modeling assumption is the forecast of future housing price changes for the relevant states and core-based statistical areas, which are based upon an assessment of the individual housing markets. Our housing price forecast as of September 30, 2011, assumes core-based statistical areas current-to-trough home price declines ranging from 0% (for those housing markets that are believed to have reached their trough) to 8%. For those markets for which further home price declines are anticipated, such declines were projected to occur over the 3- to 9-month period beginning July 1, 2011. From the trough, home prices were projected to recover using one of five different recovery paths that vary by housing market. Under those recovery paths, home prices were projected to increase from the trough within a range of 0% to 2.8% in the first year, 0% to 3.0% in the second year, 1.5% to 4.0% in the third year, 2.0% to 5.0% in the fourth year, 2.0% to 6.0% in each of the fifth and sixth years, and 2.3% to 5.6% in each subsequent year.

For those securities that were determined to be OTTI during the three months ended September 30, 2011, the following table presents the significant modeling assumptions used to determine the amount of credit loss recognized in earnings during this period as well as the related current credit enhancement. Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before we will experience a loss on the security. The calculated averages represent the dollar-weighted averages of the private-label RMBS in each category shown. The classification (prime or Alt-A) is based on the model used to estimate the cash flows for the security, which may not be the same as the classification at the time of origination.

Results of OTTI Evaluation Process - Private-label RMBS and ABS.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we accreted $592 and $2,494, respectively, of non-credit OTTI from AOCI to the carrying value of HTM securities, compared to $11,465 and $39,985 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we accreted $1,129 and $3,126, respectively, of credit OTTI included in the amortized cost of private-label RMBS to Net Interest Income (i.e., increased income), compared to amortization (i.e., decreased income) of $2,126 and $4,691 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

OTTI Evaluation Process and Results - All Other AFS and HTM Securities.

Other U.S. Obligations and GSE Securities. For other U.S. obligations and GSEs, we determined that the strength of the issuers' guarantees through direct obligations or support from the United States government is sufficient to protect us from any losses based on current expectations. As a result, we have determined that, as of September 30, 2011, all of the gross unrealized losses are temporary.

We offer Advances to members that provide a member the right, based upon predetermined option exercise dates, to prepay the Advance prior to maturity without incurring prepayment or termination fees (callable Advances). At September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, we had callable Advances outstanding of $3,291,075 and $3,610,325, respectively. All other Advances may only be prepaid by paying a fee (prepayment fee) that makes us financially indifferent to the prepayment of the Advance.

We offer putable and convertible Advances that contain embedded options. Under the terms of a putable Advance, we may put or extinguish the fixed-rate Advance on predetermined exercise dates, and offer, subject to certain conditions, replacement funding at prevailing market rates. At September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, we had putable Advances outstanding totaling $823,750 and $1,018,750, respectively. Under the terms of a convertible Advance, we may convert an Advance from one interest-payment term structure to another. We had no convertible Advances outstanding at September 30, 2011, or December 31, 2010.

Prepayment Fees. When a borrower prepays an Advance, future income would be lower if the principal portion of the prepaid Advance is reinvested in lower-yielding assets that continue to be funded by higher-costing debt. To protect against this risk, we generally charge a prepayment fee that makes us financially indifferent to a borrower's decision to prepay an Advance. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, gross Advance prepayment fees (i.e., excluding any associated hedging basis adjustments) received in cash from borrowers were $9,930 and $11,514, respectively, compared to $18,557 and $39,799 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

In cases in which we fund a new Advance concurrent with or within a short period of time before or after the prepayment of an existing Advance and the Advance meets the accounting criteria to qualify as a modification of the prepaid Advance, the net prepayment fee on the prepaid Advance is deferred, recorded in the basis of the modified Advance, and amortized into Interest Income over the life of the modified Advance using the level-yield method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we deferred $54,308 and $61,010, respectively, of these gross Advance prepayment fees, compared to $18,124 for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, to be recognized in Interest Income in the future.

Credit Risk Exposure and Security Terms.  We lend to financial institutions involved in housing finance within our district according to Federal statutes, including the Bank Act. The Bank Act requires each FHLBank to hold, or have access to, collateral to secure its Advances.

At September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, we had a total of $7.5 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively, of Advances outstanding, at par, to single borrowers with balances that were greater than or equal to $1 billion. These Advances, representing 42% and 31%, respectively, of total Advances at par outstanding on those dates, were made to four and two borrowers, respectively. At September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, we held $13.4 billion and $10.9 billion, respectively, of UPB of collateral to cover the Advances to these institutions.

We have the policies and procedures in place to appropriately manage credit risk. Such policies and procedures include requirements for physical possession or control of pledged collateral, restrictions on borrowing, verifications of collateral and continuous monitoring of borrowings and the borrower's financial condition and creditworthiness. We expect to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of our Advances, based on the collateral pledged to us as security for Advances, our credit analyses of our members' financial condition and our credit extension and collateral policies. For information related to our credit risk on Advances and allowance for credit losses, see Note 8 – Allowance for Credit Losses.

For information related to our credit risk on mortgage loans and allowance for credit losses, see Note 8 – Allowance for Credit Losses.

Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses

We have established an allowance methodology for each of our portfolio segments: credit products; government-guaranteed or insured Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio; conventional Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio; term securities purchased under agreements to resell; and term federal funds sold. A description of the allowance methodologies related to our portfolio segments is disclosed in Note 10 - Allowance for Credit Losses in our 2010 Form 10-K.





Notes to Financial Statements, continued
(Unaudited, $ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)


Credit Products. Using a risk-based approach and taking into consideration each borrower's financial strength, we consider the types and level of required collateral to be the primary tool for managing the risk of loss on credit products. At September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, we had rights to collateral on a borrower-by-borrower basis with an estimated value in excess of our outstanding extensions of credit.

At September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, we did not have any credit products that were past due, on non-accrual status, or considered impaired. In addition, there were no troubled debt restructurings related to credit products during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, or 2010.

Based upon the collateral held as security, our credit extension and collateral policies, our credit analysis and the repayment history on credit products, we did not record any allowance for credit losses on credit products or any liability to reflect an allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures at September 30, 2011, or December 31, 2010. For additional information about off-balance sheet credit exposure, see Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies.

Mortgage Loans Government-Guaranteed or Insured. Based upon our assessment of our servicers, we did not establish an allowance for credit losses for government-guaranteed or insured mortgage loans at September 30, 2011, or December 31, 2010. Further, due to the government guarantee or insurance, these mortgage loans are not placed on non-accrual status.

Mortgage Loans – Conventional. Our allowance for loan losses at each period end is based on our best estimate of probable losses over the loss emergence period, which we have estimated to be 12 months. We use the MPP portfolio's delinquency migration to determine whether a loss event is probable of occurrence. Once a loss event is deemed to be probable, we utilize a systematic methodology that incorporates all credit enhancements and servicer advances to establish the allowance for inherent loan losses. To determine our best estimate, we calculate the potential effect on the allowance of various adverse scenarios. We assess whether the likelihood of incurring the losses resulting from the adverse scenarios during the next 12 months is probable. As a result, we record our best estimate of the inherent losses in our MPP portfolio.

Collectively Evaluated Mortgage Loans. The measurement of our allowance for loan losses includes evaluating (i) homogeneous pools of delinquent residential mortgage loans; (ii) any remaining exposure to loans paid in full by the servicers; and (iii) the current portion of the loan portfolio. Our loan loss analysis includes collectively evaluating conventional loans for impairment within each pool purchased under the MPP. This loan loss analysis considers MPP pool-specific attribute data, estimated liquidation value of real estate collateral held, estimated costs associated with maintaining and disposing of the collateral, and credit enhancements. Delinquency reports, including foreclosed properties, provided monthly by the SMI providers are used to determine the population of loans incorporated into the quarterly allowance for loan loss analysis. Monthly remittance reports are monitored by management to determine the population of delinquent loans not reported by SMI providers.

Individually Evaluated Mortgage Loans. Certain conventional mortgage loans that are impaired, primarily troubled debt restructurings, may be specifically identified for purposes of calculating the allowance for loan losses. The measurement of our allowance for loans individually evaluated for loan loss considers loan-specific attribute data similar to loans reviewed on a collective basis. The resulting incurred loss, if any, is equal to the estimated cost associated with maintaining and disposing of the property (which includes the UPB, interest owed on the delinquent loan to date, and estimated costs associated with disposing the collateral) less the estimated fair value of the collateral (net of estimated selling costs) and the amount of other credit enhancements including the PMI, LRA and SMI.

Non-accrual Loans. We place a conventional mortgage loan on non-accrual status if it is determined that either (i) the collection of interest or principal is doubtful, or (ii) interest or principal is past due for 90 days or more, except when the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection (e.g., through credit enhancements and with monthly settlements on a scheduled/scheduled basis).

Rollforward of Allowance for Loan Losses on Mortgage Loans. The tables below present a rollforward of our allowance for loan losses on conventional mortgage loans and the recorded investment in mortgage loans by impairment methodology. The recorded investment in a loan is the UPB of the loan, adjusted for accrued interest, net of deferred loan fees or costs, unamortized premiums or discounts (which may include the basis adjustment related to any gain or loss on a delivery commitment prior to being funded) and direct write-downs. The recorded investment is not net of any valuation allowance.

Allowance for loan losses for loans individually evaluated for impairment as of September 30, 2011 is less than $1 due to rounding. We did not have any loans individually evaluated for impairment as of December 31, 2010.

Credit Enhancements. Our allowance for loan losses considers the credit enhancements associated with conventional mortgage loans under the MPP. Specifically, the determination of the allowance factors in available PMI, SMI, and LRA, including pooled LRA for those members participating in an aggregate MPP pool. Any incurred losses that would be recovered from the credit enhancements are not reserved as part of our allowance for loan losses.

The LRA is recorded in Other Liabilities in the Statement of Condition. The following table presents the changes in the LRA:

(1) 
Includes loans where the decision of foreclosure or similar alternative such as pursuit of deed-in-lieu of foreclosure has been reported. Loans in process of foreclosure are included in past due categories depending on their delinquency status.
(2) 
Represents loans 90 days or more past due (including loans in process of foreclosure) expressed as a percentage of the total recorded investment in mortgage loans.
(3) 
Under the scheduled/scheduled payment terms, we receive scheduled monthly principal and interest payments from the servicer regardless of whether the mortgagee is making payments to the servicer. Although our past due scheduled/scheduled loans are classified as loans past due 90 days or more based on the mortgagee's payment status, we do not consider these loans to be non-accrual.

Real Estate Owned. We did not have any MPP loans classified as real estate owned at September 30, 2011, or December 31, 2010, as the servicers foreclose in their name and then generally pay off the delinquent loans at the completion of the foreclosure or liquidate the foreclosed properties. Subsequently, the servicers may submit claims to us for any losses, which are incorporated in the determination of our allowance for loan losses.

Troubled Debt Restructurings. Troubled debt restructurings related to mortgage loans are considered to have occurred when a concession is granted to the debtor related to the debtor's financial difficulties that would not otherwise be considered for economic or legal reasons. Although we do not participate in government-sponsored loan modification programs, we do consider certain conventional loan modifications to be a troubled debt restructuring when the modification agreement permits the recapitalization of past due amounts generally up to the original loan amount. Under this type of modification, no other terms of the original loan are modified, except for the contractual maturity date on a case by case basis. In no event does the borrower's original interest rate change.

An MPP loan considered to be a troubled debt restructuring is individually evaluated for impairment when determining its related allowance for credit losses. Credit loss is measured by factoring in expected cash shortfalls incurred as of the reporting date.

The table below presents the recorded investment on the performing and non-performing portions of these troubled debt restructurings.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, one conventional MPP loan which was modified and considered a troubled debt restructuring experienced a payment default within the previous 12 months. The recorded investment of this loan was $75 at September 30, 2011.

As a result of adopting the new guidance on a creditor's determination of whether a restructuring is a troubled debt restructuring discussed in Note 2 - Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance, we reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after January 1, 2011, for identification as troubled debt restructurings. As a result, we identified certain MPP loans as troubled debt restructurings. The allowance for loan losses on these MPP loans had previously been measured under the collective evaluation methodology. Upon identifying those MPP loans as troubled debt restructurings, we identified them as impaired and applied the impairment measurement guidance for those MPP loans prospectively. As of September 30, 2011, $914 of conventional MPP loans, at recorded investment, were identified as newly impaired and an allowance for loan losses of less than $1 was recorded on these loans.

Note 9 - Derivative and Hedging Activities

Managing Credit Risk on Derivatives. We are subject to credit risk due to potential nonperformance by counterparties to the derivative agreements. The degree of counterparty risk depends on the extent to which master netting arrangements are included in such contracts to mitigate the risk. We manage counterparty credit risk through credit analysis, collateral requirements and adherence to the requirements set forth in our policies and Finance Agency regulations. Collateral delivery thresholds are established in the collateral agreements that we require for all LIBOR based derivatives.

The following table presents our credit risk exposure on derivative instruments, excluding circumstances where a counterparty's pledged collateral to us exceeds our net position. Amounts represent the effect of legally enforceable master netting agreements that allow us to settle positive and negative positions and also cash collateral held or placed with the same counterparties.

The net exposure at fair value includes accrued interest receivable of $1,110 and accrued interest payable of $249 at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. Based on credit analyses and collateral requirements, our management does not anticipate any credit losses on our derivative agreements.

On August 2, 2011, Moody's confirmed the Aaa rating on the FHLBank System's Consolidated Obligations and changed the rating outlook to negative at the same time that Moody's confirmed the Aaa bond rating of the United States government and changed the rating outlook to negative. On August 5, 2011, S&P lowered its long-term sovereign rating on the United States government from AAA to AA+ and affirmed its A-1+ short-term credit rating on the United States government. On August 8, 2011, S&P announced that it had lowered the issuer credit ratings of 10 of 12 FHLBanks (including us) and the rating on the FHLBank System's Consolidated Obligations from AAA to AA+. All 12 of the FHLBanks are currently rated AA+ with negative outlook.

We have credit support agreements that contain provisions requiring us to post additional collateral with our counterparties if there is deterioration in our credit rating. If our credit rating is lowered by a major credit rating agency, we could be required to deliver additional collateral on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position (before cash collateral and related accrued interest on cash collateral) at September 30, 2011, was $943,716 for which we have posted collateral, including accrued interest, of $804,383 in the normal course of business. In addition, we held other derivative instruments in a net liability position of $993 that are not subject to credit support agreements containing credit-risk related contingent features. If our credit rating had been lowered by a major credit rating agency (from AA+ to AA), we could have been required to deliver up to an additional $7,560 of collateral (at fair value) to our derivative counterparties at September 30, 2011.

Note 11 - Consolidated Obligations

Consolidated Obligations are backed only by the financial resources of the FHLBanks. Although we are primarily liable for our portion of Consolidated Obligations (i.e., those issued on our behalf), we are also jointly and severally liable with the other 11 FHLBs for the payment of the principal and interest on all Consolidated Obligations of each of the FHLBs. No FHLBank has ever been asked or required to repay the principal or interest on any Consolidated Obligation on behalf of another FHLBank, and as of September 30, 2011, and through the filing date of this report, we do not believe that it is probable that we will be asked to do so. The par values of the 12 FHLBanks' outstanding Consolidated Obligations, including Consolidated Obligations held by other FHLBanks, were approximately $696.6 billion and $796.4 billion at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Note 12 - Resolution Funding Corporation

Each FHLBank was required to pay to REFCORP 20% of net income calculated in accordance with GAAP after the assessment for AHP, but before the assessment for REFCORP. The AHP and REFCORP assessments were calculated simultaneously because of their interdependence on each other. Based upon this calculation and amounts reported by the FHLBanks through June 30, 2011, the aggregate amounts actually assessed through that date, and payments made in July 2011, by all 12 FHLBanks, the REFCORP obligation is fully satisfied. Consequently, no additional payments to REFCORP will be required. This was confirmed by the Finance Agency through a notice issued on August 5, 2011, certifying that the FHLBanks' payments to the United States Department of the Treasury resulted in full satisfaction of the FHLBanks' REFCORP obligation.

In accordance with the JCE Agreement, starting in the third quarter of 2011, each FHLBank is required to allocate 20% of its net income to a separate restricted retained earnings account. See Note 13 - Capital for further information regarding the JCE Agreement.

Note 13 - Capital
    
We are subject to capital requirements under our capital plan and the Finance Agency rules and regulations as further disclosed in Note 16 - Capital in our 2010 Form 10-K. As presented in the following table, we were in compliance with the Finance Agency's capital requirements at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010. For regulatory purposes, AOCI is not considered capital; MRCS, however, is considered capital.

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock. At September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, we had $483,407 and $658,363, respectively, in capital stock subject to mandatory redemption, which is classified as a liability in the Statement of Condition.

The distributions from Retained Earnings represent dividends paid to former members for the portion of the previous quarterly period that they were members. The amounts charged to Interest Expense represent distributions to former members for the portion of the period they were not members.

There were 29 and 31 former members holding MRCS at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively, which includes nine and eight institutions, respectively, acquired by the FDIC in its capacity as receiver. As of September 30, 2011, MRCS contractually due to be redeemed within the following 12-month period totaled $36,205.

Excess Capital Stock. Excess stock is defined as the amount of stock held by a member or former member in excess of that institution's minimum stock requirement. Finance Agency rules limit the ability of an FHLBank to create member excess stock under certain circumstances, including if excess stock exceeds 1% of Total Assets or if the issuance of excess stock would cause excess stock to exceed 1% of Total Assets. Our excess stock totaled $0.9 billion at September 30, 2011, which equaled 2% of our Total Assets. Therefore, we are currently not permitted to issue new excess stock to members or distribute stock dividends.

Stock Redemption Requests. At September 30, 2011, stock not considered MRCS that is subject to a redemption request within the next 12 months totaled $5,600.





Notes to Financial Statements, continued

Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement. The 12 FHLBanks entered into a JCE Agreement, as amended, which is intended to enhance the capital position of each FHLBank. Each FHLBank had been required to contribute 20% of its net earnings toward payment of the interest on the REFCORP bonds until the REFCORP obligation was satisfied on June 30, 2011. The JCE Agreement provides that, upon full satisfaction of the REFCORP obligation, each FHLBank will allocate 20% of its net income each quarter to a restricted retained earnings account until the balance of that account equals at least 1% of that FHLBank's average balance of outstanding Consolidated Obligations for the previous quarter. These restricted retained earnings will not be available from which to pay dividends except to the extent the restricted retained earnings balance exceeds 1.5% of an FHLBank's average balance of outstanding Consolidated Obligations for the previous quarter. The FHLBanks subsequently amended their capital plans or capital plan submissions, as applicable, to implement the provisions of the JCE Agreement, and the Finance Agency approved the capital plan amendments on August 5, 2011. In accordance with the JCE Agreement, at September 30, 2011, we had allocated $6.0 million to restricted retained earnings.

Note 15 - Segment Information

We have identified two primary operating segments:

Traditional, which includes credit services (such as Advances, letters of credit, and lines of credit), investments (including Federal Funds Sold, Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell, AFS securities, and HTM securities), and deposits; and
MPP, which consists of mortgage loans purchased from our members.

We have not symmetrically allocated assets to each segment based upon financial results as it is impracticable to measure the performance of our segments from a total assets perspective. As a result, there is asymmetrical information presented in the tables below including, among other items, the allocation of depreciation without an allocation of the depreciable assets, derivatives and hedging earnings adjustments with no corresponding allocation to derivative assets, if any, and the recording of interest income with no allocation to accrued interest receivable.

Note 16 - Estimated Fair Values

The fair value amounts, recorded on the Statement of Condition and presented in the note disclosures, have been determined by using available market information and our best judgment of appropriate valuation methods. These estimates are based on pertinent information available to us at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010. Although we use our best judgment in estimating the fair values of these financial instruments, there are inherent limitations in any valuation technique. Therefore, these fair values may not be indicative of the amounts that would have been realized in market transactions at the reporting dates.

Fair Value HierarchyWe record AFS securities, Derivative Assets, rabbi trust assets (publicly-traded mutual funds), and Derivative Liabilities at fair value. The fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value for assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value, both on a recurring and non-recurring basis, on the Statement of Condition. The inputs are evaluated, and an overall level for the fair value measurement is determined. This overall level is an indication of market observability of the fair value measurement for the asset or liability.  

A description of the application of the fair value hierarchy is disclosed in Note 19 - Estimated Fair Values in our 2010 Form 10-K, and no changes have been made in the current year.

For financial instruments carried at fair value, we review the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the valuation attributes may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in/out at fair value at the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occur.

Valuation Techniques and Significant Inputs. A description of the valuation techniques and significant inputs is disclosed in Note 19 - Estimated Fair Values in our 2010 Form 10-K, and no changes have been made in the current year, except as disclosed below.

Investment securities – non-MBS.  The estimated fair value is determined using market-observable price quotes from dealers or third-party pricing services, such as the composite Bloomberg bond trade screen, thus falling under the market approach. This price represents executable prices for identical assets.

Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis. We measure certain HTM securities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are not carried at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of OTTI). These amounts fall under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

As of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, none of our HTM securities were carried at fair value.

Notes to Financial Statements, continued
(Unaudited, $ amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)


Commitments to Extend Credit. Standby letters of credit are executed for members for a fee. A standby letter of credit is a financing arrangement between us and one of our members. Commitments to extend credit are fully collateralized at the time of issuance. If we are required to make payment for a beneficiary's draw, the payment amount is converted into a collateralized Advance to the member. The original terms of these standby letters of credit, including related commitments, range from less than three months to 20 years, including a final expiration in 2029. The carrying value of guarantees related to standby letters of credit is recorded in Other Liabilities and was $4,606 and $5,859 at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively.

We monitor the creditworthiness of our standby letters of credit based on an evaluation of the financial condition of our members. We have established parameters for the measurement, review, classification, and monitoring of credit risk related to these standby letters of credit. Based on credit analyses performed by us as well as collateral requirements, we have not deemed it necessary to record any additional liability on these commitments. See Note 6 - Advances and Note 8 – Allowance for Credit Losses for more information.

Commitments to Fund or Purchase Mortgage Loans. Commitments that unconditionally obligate us to fund or purchase mortgage loans are generally for periods not to exceed 91 days. Such commitments are reported as Derivative Assets or Derivative Liabilities at their fair value.

Pledged Collateral. We generally execute derivatives with large banks and major broker-dealers and generally enter into bilateral pledge (collateral) agreements. We had pledged $804,317 and $31,200 of cash collateral, at par, at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. At September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, we had not pledged any securities as collateral.

Legal Proceedings. Lehman Brothers Holding Company, the guarantor for one of our former derivatives counterparties, Lehman Brothers Special Financing (Lehman), declared bankruptcy on September 15, 2008. We provided notice of default based on the bankruptcy to Lehman Brothers Holding Company on September 22, 2008, and designated September 25, 2008, as the early termination date under the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement. On the early termination date, we had $5.4 billion notional amount of derivatives transactions outstanding with Lehman and no collateral posted to Lehman. The close-out provisions of the International Swaps and Derivatives Master Agreement required us to pay Lehman a termination fee of approximately $95.6 million, which we remitted to Lehman on September 25, 2008. Lehman's bankruptcy remains pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court Southern District of New York as Chapter 11 Case No. 08-13555(JMP). 

On May 9, 2011, we received a Derivatives Alternative Dispute Resolution notice from the Lehman bankruptcy estate. This matter is scheduled for mediation with a court-appointed mediator in December 2011. While we believe that we fully satisfied our obligation to Lehman and intend to vigorously defend this matter, we are unable to predict the timing or ultimate outcome of this matter.

We are also subject to other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of these matters will have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Additional discussion of other commitments and contingencies is provided in Note 6 – Advances; Note 7 – Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio; Note 9 – Derivative and Hedging Activities; Note 11 – Consolidated Obligations; Note 13 – Capital; and Note 16 – Estimated Fair Values.

Executive Summary
 
Overview. We are a regional wholesale bank that makes Advances, purchases mortgages and other investments, and provides other financial services to our member financial institutions. These member financial institutions can consist of federally-insured depository institutions (including commercial banks, thrifts, and credit unions), community development financial institutions and insurance companies. All member financial institutions are required to purchase shares of our Class B Capital Stock as a condition of membership. Our public policy mission is to facilitate and expand the availability of financing for housing and community development. We seek to achieve our mission by providing products and services to our members in a safe, sound, and profitable manner, and by generating a competitive return on their capital investment. See Item 1. Business - Background Information in our 2010 Form 10-K for more information.
 
We group our products and services within two business segments:

Traditional, which includes credit services (such as Advances, letters of credit, and lines of credit), investments (including Federal Funds Sold, Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell, AFS securities, and HTM securities), and deposits; and
MPP, which consists of mortgage loans purchased from our members.

Our principal source of funding is the proceeds from the sale to the public of FHLBank debt instruments, called Consolidated Obligations, which are the joint and several obligation of all 12 FHLBanks. We obtain additional funds from deposits, other borrowings, and the sale of capital stock to our members.

Our primary source of revenue is interest earned on Advances, long- and short-term investments, and mortgage loans purchased from our members.
 
Our Net Interest Income is primarily determined by the interest-rate spread between the interest rate earned on our assets and the interest rate paid on our share of the Consolidated Obligations. We use funding and hedging strategies to mitigate the related interest-rate risk.

The Economy and the Financial Services Industry. Our financial condition and results of operations are influenced by the general state of the global and national economies; the prevailing level of interest rates; the local economies in our district states of Indiana and Michigan and their impact on our member financial institutions; and the conditions in the financial, credit and mortgage markets.

The United States economy entered a recession in December 2007, which ended in June 2009. Many of the effects of this recession and the world-wide financial crisis continued through the first nine months of 2011, including serious pressures on earnings and capital at many financial institutions, high unemployment rates, high levels of mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures, and a depressed housing market. Delays in processing problem loans contributed to the backlog of distressed properties that has been building up, putting ongoing downward pressure on home prices.

According to the FOMC of the Federal Reserve Board, economic growth remains slow. The FOMC indicated that it will maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 0.00-0.25%, as it continues to anticipate that economic conditions, including low rates of resource utilization, and subdued inflation trends, are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate at least through mid-2013.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that Michigan's preliminary unemployment rate equaled 11.1% for September 2011, while Indiana's preliminary rate was 8.9%, compared to the United States rate of 9.1%. Lender Processing Services reported that Indiana had a non-current mortgage rate (loans past due 30 days or more) of 14.1%, and Michigan had a non-current mortgage rate of 12.1% for August 2011, compared to the national rate of 12.2%.





In its most recent forecast, the Center for Econometric Research at Indiana University stated that its current forecast for the Indiana economy has turned more optimistic for both employment and the growth rate of personal income. The most recent forecast published by the Research Seminar in Quantitative Economics at the University of Michigan states that the Michigan economy is continuing its recovery from its low point in late 2009. University of Michigan economists expect state job growth to to be near zero for the last quarter of 2011 with job growth resuming at a moderate pace of 0.8% for 2012. We believe the overall economic outlook for our district is showing some signs of improvement but will continue to trail the overall United States economy.

Financial Trends in the Capital Markets. The Office of Finance, our fiscal agent, issues debt in the global capital markets on behalf of the 12 FHLBanks in the form of Consolidated Obligations, which include CO Bonds and Discount Notes. Our funding operations are dependent on debt issued by the Office of Finance, and the issuance of our debt is affected by events in the capital markets.  

On August 2, 2011, Moody's confirmed the Aaa rating on the FHLBank System's Consolidated Obligations and changed the rating outlook to negative at the same time that Moody's confirmed the Aaa bond rating of the United States government and changed the rating outlook to negative. On August 5, 2011, S&P lowered its long-term sovereign rating on the United States government to AA+ from AAA and affirmed its A-1+ short-term credit rating on the United States government. S&P removed both ratings from CreditWatch, where they were placed on July 15, 2011, with negative implications. Due to our status as a GSE and the application of S&P's government-related entity criteria, our issuer rating is constrained by the long-term sovereign credit rating of the United States government. On August 8, 2011, S&P announced that it had lowered the issuer credit ratings of 10 of 12 FHLBanks (including us) and the rating on the FHLBank System's Consolidated Obligations to AA+ from AAA. All 12 of the FHLBanks are currently rated AA+ with outlook negative. S&P affirmed the FHLBanks' short-term issuer ratings at A-1+ and removed all of the ratings from CreditWatch. These changes have not had a material adverse impact on our funding costs.

The FOMC intends to purchase $400 billion of United States Treasury securities with remaining maturities of six to thirty years and to sell an equal amount of United States Treasury securities with remaining maturities of three years or less by the end of June 2012 in order to extend the average maturity of its securities holdings. This program should put downward pressure on longer-term interest rates and help make broader financial conditions more likely to stimulate economic growth. To help support conditions in the mortgage markets, the FOMC will now reinvest principal payments from its holdings of agency debt and agency MBS in agency MBS. In addition, the FOMC will maintain its existing policy of replacing maturing United States Treasury securities at auction. The FOMC will regularly review the size and composition of its securities holdings in light of incoming information and is prepared to adjust those holdings as needed to best foster maximum employment and price stability.

Taxable money market fund assets declined through early August 2011, but recovered somewhat during the remainder of the third quarter of 2011. As a subset of those assets, taxable money market fund investments allocated to the "United States Other Agency" category were generally higher in the third quarter of 2011.

Summary of Operating Results. Our overall results are dependent on the market environment and, in particular, our members' demand for wholesale funding and their sales of mortgage loans to us. As part of their overall business strategy, our depository members typically use wholesale funding, in the form of Advances, along with other sources of funding, such as retail deposits, as a source of liquidity and to fund residential mortgage loans in their portfolio. Periods of economic growth have led to significant use of wholesale funds by our depository members because they typically fund expansion by using either wholesale or retail borrowing. Conversely, slow economic growth has tended to decrease our depository members' wholesale borrowing activity. 





Our insurance company members have different business models and are subject to different regulations; therefore, their demand for Advances is not always correlated with our depository members. Our insurance company members tend to use Advances as a source of liquidity and/or for asset/liability management.

Member demand for Advances and the MPP is also influenced by the steepness of the yield curve, as well as the availability and cost of other sources of wholesale or government funding. Advances to insurance company members, an increasing part of our membership and focus of our business, increased during the first nine months of 2011. However, Advances to depository members decreased due to repayments and decreased demand related to various economic factors such as growth in our members' deposits and low loan demand at our members' institutions. Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio also decreased as purchases were not large enough to fully offset the reduction due to repayments.  

The market turmoil in 2008 and 2009 created opportunities to generate spreads well above historic levels on certain types of transactions. The frequency and level of higher-spread investment opportunities has diminished, as spreads on our Advances and short-term investments have begun to normalize. We expect Net Interest Income to continue to decline as spreads on our mortgage-related assets revert to normal levels. However, these spreads could be influenced by unexpected changes in the market environment.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011, and 2010
 
Net Income. Net Income was $30.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $20.8 million compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to lower Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses, partially offset by a decrease in total assessments resulting from the satisfaction of our obligation to the Resolution Funding Corporation as of June 30, 2011. Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses decreased by $27.8 million or 34% for the third quarter of 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to contracting spreads, a reduction in prepayment fees on Advances and lower levels of interest-earning assets.

Net Income was $74.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $4.1 million or 6% compared to the same period in 2010. The increase was primarily due to lower OTTI credit losses on our private-label MBS that totaled $26.4 million for the first nine months of 2011, compared to $68.4 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease in OTTI credit losses was partially offset by lower Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses, which decreased by $31.4 million or 16% for the first nine months of 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to lower levels of interest-earning assets, a reduction in prepayment fees on Advances and contracting spreads.

Analysis of Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011, and 2010

Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses. Net Interest Income is our primary source of earnings. We generate Net Interest Income from two components: (i) the net interest-rate spread, and (ii) the amount earned on the excess of interest-earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities. The sum of these two components, when expressed as a percentage of the average balance of interest-earning assets, equals the net interest margin. 

Factors that decreased Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, included:
 
lower average balances of Federal Funds Sold and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell, Advances and Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio, as shown in the tables below;
lower prepayment fee income on Advances;
narrower spreads on Investment securities, Federal Funds Sold and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell; and
an increase in the provision for losses on Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio.

These decreases were partially offset by wider spreads on Advances and Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio, primarily due to the replacement of higher-costing debt with lower-costing debt reflecting the current low interest-rate environment.




See Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities herein for information on the net effect of derivatives on our Net Interest Income.

(1) 
The average balances of investment securities are reflected at amortized cost; therefore, the resulting yields do not reflect changes in fair value that are reflected as a component of AOCI, nor do they include the effect of OTTI related non-credit losses. Interest income/expense includes the effect of associated interest-rate exchange agreements.
(2) 
Interest income/expense and average yield include all other components of interest, including the impact of net interest payments or receipts on derivatives, hedge accounting amortization, and Advance prepayment fees.
(3) 
Other Assets (interest-earning) consists of Interest-Bearing Deposits, loans to other FHLBanks, and rabbi trust assets which are carried at fair value.
(4) 
Includes changes in fair value and the effect of OTTI related non-credit losses on AFS and HTM securities for purposes of the table.

Changes in both volume and interest rates influence changes in Net Interest Income and net interest margin. Changes in Interest Income and Interest Expense that are not identifiable as either volume-related or rate-related, but are attributable to both volume and rate changes, have been allocated to the volume and rate categories based upon the proportion of the volume and rate changes.

Due to the rounding of quarterly and year-to-date amounts, the actual amount of $0.6 million is shown as zero for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

The unfavorable change in Other Income (Loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, was primarily due to net losses on derivatives and hedging activities and net OTTI credit losses on certain private-label RMBS. The favorable change in Other Income (Loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, was primarily due to the lower net OTTI credit losses on certain private-label RMBS, partially offset by net losses on derivatives and hedging activities. The effect of the net OTTI credit losses on Other Income (Loss) is presented in Results of OTTI Evaluation Process below. The net effect of derivatives on our Net Interest Income and Other Income (Loss) is presented in Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities below.

Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities. Due to volatility in the overall interest rate environment, our Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities fluctuate as we hedge our asset risk exposures. In general, we hold derivatives and associated hedged instruments, and certain assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value, to the maturity, call, or put date. Therefore, due to timing, nearly all of the cumulative net gains and losses for these financial instruments will generally reverse over the remaining contractual terms of the hedged financial instruments. The increases in gains (losses) on fair-value hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same periods in 2010, were primarily due to timing and changes in benchmark interest rates that had a greater adverse impact on swaps than the swapped Advances.

The increase in Other Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, was primarily due to increased compensation and benefit expenses, which were mainly attributable to additional staff needed to support operating systems enhancements and compliance-related initiatives, as well as increased retirement plan costs due to a lower discount rate used to calculate the benefit obligation.





Total Assessments.

AHP. The FHLBanks are required to set aside annually, in the aggregate, the greater of $100 million or 10% of their net earnings to fund the AHP. For purposes of the AHP calculation, net earnings is defined as net income before assessments, plus interest expense related to mandatorily redeemable capital stock, less the assessment for REFCORP, if applicable. Each FHLBank's required annual AHP contribution is limited to its annual net earnings. Our AHP expense fluctuates in accordance with our Income Before Assessments.

REFCORP. Each FHLBank was required to pay to REFCORP 20% of net income calculated in accordance with GAAP after the assessment for AHP, but before the assessment for REFCORP. The FHLBanks were obligated to pay the REFCORP assessment until the aggregate amounts actually paid by all 12 FHLBanks were equivalent to a $300 million annual annuity (or a scheduled payment of $75 million per quarter) with a final maturity date of April 15, 2030, at which point the required payment of each FHLBank to REFCORP would be fully satisfied.

However, the aggregate payments made by the FHLBanks exceeded the scheduled payments, effectively accelerating payment of the REFCORP obligation and shortening the remaining term to June 30, 2011. On August 5, 2011, the Finance Agency certified that the FHLBanks fully satisfied their REFCORP obligation. See Liquidity and Capital Resources - Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement for information about the amended JCE Agreement that became operational when our REFCORP obligation was satisfied.

As a result, we did not have any REFCORP expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Prior to the three months ended September 30, 2011, our REFCORP expense fluctuated in accordance with our Income Before Assessments.

Business Segments
 
Our products and services are grouped within two business segments: Traditional and MPP.
 
The Traditional business segment includes credit services (such as Advances, letters of credit, and lines of credit), investments (including Federal Funds Sold, Securities Purchased Under Agreement to Resell, AFS securities, and HTM securities) and deposits.

The decrease in Net Income for the Traditional segment for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, was primarily due to:

a decrease in Net Interest Income primarily resulting from contracting spreads, lower levels of interest-earning assets and a reduction in prepayment fees on Advances; and
a decrease in Other Income (Loss) primarily resulting from net losses on derivatives and hedging activities and net OTTI credit losses on certain private-label RMBS, as described in Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011, and 2010 - Other Income - Results of OTTI Evaluation Process herein.

These decreases were partially offset by lower Total Assessments, which were directly attributable to the satisfaction of our obligation to REFCORP and the lower Income Before Assessments.





The increase in Net Income for the Traditional segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, was primarily due to:

an increase in Other Income (Loss) that substantially resulted from the lower OTTI credit losses on certain private-label RMBS; and
lower Total Assessments, which were directly attributable to the satisfaction of our obligation to REFCORP and the lower Income Before Assessments.

These changes were partially offset by:

a decrease in Net Interest Income primarily resulting from contracting spreads, lower levels of interest-earning assets and a reduction in prepayment fees on Advances; and
an increase in Other Expenses primarily resulting from increased compensation and benefit expenses, which were mainly attributable to additional staff needed to support operating systems enhancements and compliance-related initiatives, as well as increased retirement plan costs due to a lower discount rate used to calculate the benefit obligation.

The decrease in Net Income for the MPP segment for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, was primarily due to lower Net Interest Income resulting from spreads that have begun to normalize, the lower average balance of MPP loans and the provision for loan losses, partially offset by lower Total Assessments, which were directly attributable to the satisfaction of our obligation to REFCORP and the lower Income Before Assessments.

The increase in Net Income for the MPP segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, was primarily due to lower Total Assessments, which were directly attributable to the satisfaction of our obligation to REFCORP. Net Interest Income increased due to higher spreads attributable to the replacement of higher-costing debt with lower-costing debt reflecting the current low interest-rate environment, but was partially offset by the lower average balance of MPP loans. The increase in Net Interest Income was offset by the Provision for Credit Losses.

Analysis of Financial Condition
 
Total Assets. Total Assets were $40.9 billion as of September 30, 2011, a decrease of 9% compared to December 31, 2010. This decrease of $4.0 billion was primarily due to net decreases of $3.8 billion in cash and short-term investments and $0.6 billion in Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio, partially offset by an increase in Advances of $0.3 billion.





Advances. Advances totaled $18.6 billion at September 30, 2011, an increase of 1.6% compared to December 31, 2010. This increase was primarily due to a 42% increase in the par value of Advances to insurance company members, which totaled $7.4 billion at September 30, 2011, partially offset by a 9% reduction in the par value of Advances to depository members resulting from repayments and our members' reduced need for liquidity in the current economic environment. In general, Advances fluctuate in accordance with our members' funding needs related to their deposit levels, mortgage pipelines, investment opportunities, available collateral, other balance sheet strategies, and the cost of alternative funding opportunities.

Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio. We purchase mortgage loans from our members through our MPP. On November 29, 2010, we began offering MPP Advantage for new MPP loans, which utilizes an enhanced fixed LRA account for additional credit enhancement consistent with Finance Agency regulations, instead of utilizing coverage from SMI providers. The only substantive difference between our original MPP and MPP Advantage is the credit enhancement structure. Upon implementation of MPP Advantage, the original MPP was phased out and is no longer being used for acquisitions of new loans. There were 149 loans purchased under MCCs that remained open for the contractual fill-up period at the November 30, 2010, transition date. The final settlements under these MCCs occurred on March 4, 2011. Under MPP Advantage, we have purchased 1,722 mortgage loans for $237.3 million through September 30, 2011, compared to 52 loans for $5.9 million through December 31, 2010. See Risk Management - MPP for more detailed information about the credit enhancement structures for our original MPP and MPP Advantage.

At September 30, 2011, we held $6.1 billion of loans purchased through our original MPP program and MPP Advantage, a decrease of 9% compared to December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to repayments of outstanding mortgage loans exceeding the purchases of new loans. In general, the volume of mortgage loans purchased through the MPP is affected by several factors, including the general level of housing activity in the United States, the level of refinancing activity, and consumer product preferences.

Cash and Short-Term Investments. Cash and short-term investments totaled $4.3 billion at September 30, 2011, a decrease of 47% compared to December 31, 2010. However, we remain in compliance with all liquidity requirements. The decrease was primarily due to decreases of $3.9 billion in Federal Funds Sold and $0.3 billion in Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell resulting from a managed reduction in short-term investments. The composition of our short-term investment portfolio is influenced by our liquidity needs and the availability of short-term investments at attractive interest rates, relative to our cost of funds. See Liquidity and Capital Resources below for more information.

Available-for-Sale Securities. AFS securities totaled $3.0 billion at September 30, 2011, a decrease of 7% compared to December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to paydowns and the sale of six private-label MBS. As a result of previously recognizing OTTI credit losses totaling $29.8 million on those securities, we realized a net gain on the sales of $4.2 million. Even though these six securities were sold, as of September 30, 2011, we had no intention to sell the remaining OTTI AFS securities, nor did we consider it more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before our anticipated recovery of each security's remaining amortized cost basis. However, in the future we may decide to sell these securities if conditions, strategies, risk tolerances or other factors change.

In the three months ended September 30, 2011, we transferred one private-label RMBS to AFS from HTM due to management's change in intent to no longer necessarily hold this security to maturity resulting from a significant deterioration in the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. Such deterioration was evidenced by an OTTI credit loss for this security in the three months ended September 30, 2011. At the time of transfer, this security had an unpaid principal balance of $19.4 million and a net carrying value (i.e., amortized cost net of non-credit losses) of $13.8 million.

Held-to-Maturity Securities. HTM securities totaled $8.8 billion at September 30, 2011, an increase of 4% compared to December 31, 2010, primarily due to purchases of agency MBS.

Total Liabilities. Total Liabilities were $39.0 billion at September 30, 2011, a decrease of 9% compared to December 31, 2010. This decrease of $4.0 billion was due to a decrease of $4.0 billion in Consolidated Obligations.





Deposits (Liabilities). Total Deposits were $1.2 billion at September 30, 2011, an increase of 113% compared to December 31, 2010. These deposits represent a relatively small portion of our funding, and they vary depending upon market factors, such as the attractiveness of our deposit pricing relative to the rates available on alternative money market instruments, members' investment preferences with respect to the maturity of their investments, and member liquidity.

Consolidated Obligations. At September 30, 2011, the carrying values of our Discount Notes and CO Bonds totaled $7.0 billion and $29.9 billion, respectively, compared to $8.9 billion and $31.9 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2010. The overall balance of our Consolidated Obligations fluctuates in relation to our Total Assets. The carrying value of our Discount Notes was 19% of total Consolidated Obligations at September 30, 2011, compared to 22% at December 31, 2010. Discount Notes are issued primarily to provide short-term funds while CO Bonds are issued to provide longer-term funding. The composition of our Consolidated Obligations can fluctuate significantly based on comparative changes in their cost levels, supply and demand conditions, Advance demand, money market investment balances, and our balance sheet management strategy.

Derivatives. As of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, we had Derivative Assets, net of collateral held or posted including accrued interest, with fair values of $1.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively, and Derivative Liabilities, net of collateral held or posted including accrued interest, with fair values of $140.3 million and $657.0 million, respectively. We classify interest-rate swaps as derivative assets or liabilities according to the positive or negative net fair value of the interest-rate swaps with each counterparty. Increases and decreases in the fair value of derivatives are primarily caused by market changes in the derivatives' underlying interest-rate index. Therefore, these fair values reflect the impact of interest-rate changes.  

Total Capital. Total Capital was $1.9 billion at September 30, 2011, a decrease of 0.4% compared to December 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a repurchase of the excess capital stock included in Capital Stock of $125.9 million, partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of Capital Stock of $106.4 million and increases in Retained Earnings of $44.0 million and AOCI of $5.6 million. The increase in AOCI included a reclassification of OTTI non-credit losses of $21.8 million from AOCI to Other Income (Loss).

See Liquidity and Capital Resources - Capital Resources - Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement for information about the JCE Agreement that became effective on February 28, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Liquidity. Our cash and short-term investments portfolio totaled $4.3 billion at September 30, 2011. We manage our short-term investment portfolio in response to economic conditions and market events and uncertainties. As a result, the overall level of our short-term investment portfolio may fluctuate accordingly. The maturities of the short-term investments provide sufficient cash flows to support our ongoing liquidity needs. See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources in our 2010 Form 10-K for more detailed information.

On August 8, 2011, S&P lowered our issuer credit rating and the rating on the FHLBank System's Consolidated Obligations from AAA to AA+. As a result of S&P lowering our credit rating, we were required to deliver additional collateral (at fair value) to certain of our derivative counterparties. As of September 30, 2011, we had posted $804.3 million of collateral to 11 counterparties, compared to $42.1 million of collateral to two counterparties at June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to the lowering of collateral thresholds resulting from the S&P credit rating downgrades. If our credit rating had been lowered again by a major credit rating agency (from AA+ to AA), we could have been required to deliver up to an additional $7.6 million of collateral (at fair value) to our derivative counterparties at September 30, 2011. However, our liquidity position can satisfy this additional funding requirement with no material impact to our financial position. We have not identified any other known trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that are likely to materially increase or decrease our liquidity.








Capital Resources.

Capital Adequacy. We are required by Finance Agency regulations to maintain sufficient "permanent capital" (defined as the sum of Class B Stock, MRCS, and Retained Earnings) to meet the combined credit risk, market risk and operational risk components of the risk-based capital requirement. The Finance Agency may mandate us to maintain a greater amount of permanent capital than is required by the risk-based capital requirements as defined. As of September 30, 2011, our risk-based capital requirement was $0.7 billion, compared to permanent capital of $2.5 billion. As of December 31, 2010, our risk-based capital requirement was $0.9 billion, compared to permanent capital of $2.7 billion.

In addition, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 and Finance Agency regulations require us to maintain at all times a regulatory capital ratio of at least 4.00% and a leverage ratio of at least 5.00%. Our total regulatory capital consists of Retained Earnings and total regulatory capital stock, which includes Class B Capital Stock and MRCS. At September 30, 2011, our regulatory capital ratio was 6.12%, and our leverage ratio was 9.19%.

Capital Distributions. Our capital plan divides our Class B stock into two sub-series: Class B-1 and Class B-2. The difference between the two sub-series is that Class B-2 is required stock that is subject to a redemption request and pays a lower dividend. The Class B-2 stock dividend is presently calculated at 80% of the amount of the Class B-1 dividend and can only be changed by amendment of our capital plan by our board of directors with approval of the Finance Agency. On October 21, 2011, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of 2.50% (annualized) on our Capital Stock Putable - Class B-1 and of 2.00% (annualized) on our Capital Stock Putable - Class B-2.  

Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement. In 1989, Congress established REFCORP as a vehicle to provide funding for the Resolution Trust Corporation to finance its efforts to resolve the savings and loan crisis. REFCORP issued approximately $30 billion of long-term bonds. The interest due on the REFCORP bonds is paid from several sources, including contributions from the FHLBanks. Starting in 2000, the FHLBanks contributed 20% of their annual net earnings toward the REFCORP interest payments. The FHLBanks' payment obligation was to continue until the value of all payments made by the FHLBanks to REFCORP equaled the value of a benchmark annuity of $300 million per year that commenced on the date that the REFCORP bonds had been issued and ended on the last maturity date for the REFCORP bonds, which was April 15, 2030. In a Federal Register Notice dated August 5, 2011, the Finance Agency announced that the payment made by the FHLBanks on July 15, 2011 fully satisfied all their obligations to contribute toward the interest payments owed on bonds issued by REFCORP.

Effective February 28, 2011, the 12 FHLBanks entered into a JCE Agreement intended to enhance the capital position of each FHLBank. The purpose of the JCE Agreement is to allocate that portion of each FHLBank's earnings historically paid to satisfy its REFCORP obligation to a separate restricted retained earnings account at that FHLBank.

The JCE Agreement provides that, upon full satisfaction of the REFCORP obligation, each FHLBank will allocate 20% of its Net Income each quarter to a restricted retained earnings account until the balance of that account equals at least 1% of that FHLBank's average balance of outstanding Consolidated Obligations for the previous quarter. These restricted retained earnings will not be available from which to pay dividends except to the extent the restricted retained earnings balance exceeds 1.5% of an FHLBank's average balance of outstanding Consolidated Obligations for the previous quarter. We do not expect that level to be reached for several years. For more information on the JCE Agreement, please refer to Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement in our 2010 Form 10-K.

On August 5, 2011, the Finance Agency approved the FHLBanks' capital plan amendments to implement the provisions of the JCE Agreement. Subsequently, on August 5, 2011, the FHLBanks entered into an amended JCE Agreement to address differences between the original JCE Agreement and the approved capital plan amendments. In particular, an FHLBank's obligation to make allocations to the restricted retained earnings account terminates on the Automatic Termination Event Declaration Date (as defined in the amended JCE Agreement), and restrictions on paying dividends out of the restricted retained earnings account or otherwise reallocating funds from the restricted retained earnings account are terminated one year later. For more information on the amendments to the JCE Agreement, see our Form 8-K filed on August 5, 2011. The amended capital plans of the FHLBanks, including our amended capital plan, became effective on September 5, 2011. In accordance with the JCE Agreement, we allocated $6.0 million to restricted retained earnings as of September 30, 2011.





Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock. At September 30, 2011, we had $483.4 million in capital stock subject to mandatory redemption, compared to $658.4 million at December 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to the repurchase of $122.1 million of excess MRCS and the redemption of $67.0 million of MRCS, partially offset by the reclassification of $14.1 million from Capital Stock. See Note 13 - Capital - Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

Excess Stock. Excess stock is capital stock that is not required as a condition of membership or to support services to members or former members. In general, the level of excess stock fluctuates with our members' demand for Advances. Finance Agency regulations prohibit an FHLBank from issuing new excess stock if the amount of excess stock outstanding exceeds 1% of our Total Assets. At September 30, 2011, our outstanding excess stock of $0.9 billion was equal to 2% of our Total Assets. Therefore, we are currently not permitted to issue new excess stock or distribute stock dividends.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make a number of judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities (if applicable), and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. We review these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience, changes in business conditions and other relevant factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in estimates and assumptions have the potential to significantly affect our financial position and results of operations. In any given reporting period, our actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing our financial statements.

We have identified five accounting policies that we believe are critical because they require management to make particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These accounting policies relate to:

OTTI;
Credit losses;
Derivatives and hedging activities;
Fair value estimates; and
Premiums and discounts and other costs associated with originating or acquiring mortgage loans, MBS, and ABS.

We believe the application of our accounting policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide financial statement users with useful, reliable and timely information about our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

A full discussion of these critical accounting policies and estimates can be found in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section under the caption Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our 2010 Form 10-K. See below for additional information regarding certain of these policies.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Analysis. In addition to evaluating our private-label MBS and ABS under a base case (or best estimate) scenario, we also performed a cash-flow analysis for each of these securities under a more adverse housing price scenario.
 
Under this scenario, for those markets for which further home price declines are anticipated, current-to-trough home price declines are projected to range from 5% to 13% over the three- to nine-month period beginning July 1, 2011. From the trough, home prices are projected to recover using one of five different recovery paths that vary by housing market. Under those recovery paths, home prices are projected to increase from the trough within a range of 0% to 1.9% in the first year, 0% to 2% in the second year, 1% to 2.7% in the third year, 1.3% to 3.4% in the fourth year, 1.3% to 4% in each of the fifth and sixth years, and 1.5% to 3.8% in each subsequent year.





The adverse scenario and associated results do not represent our current expectations, and therefore should not be construed as a prediction of our future results, market conditions or the performance of these securities. Rather, the results from this hypothetical stress test scenario provide a measure of the credit losses that we might incur if home price declines (and subsequent recoveries) are more adverse than those projected in our OTTI evaluation.

The following table presents the results of the base case scenario and what the impact on OTTI would have been under the more adverse home price scenario ($ amounts in millions). The classification (prime or Alt-A) is based on the model used to estimate the cash flows for the security, which may not be the same as the classification at the time of origination.

Provision for Credit Losses.

Advances. At September 30, 2011, based on the collateral held as security for Advances, management's credit analyses and our prior repayment history, no allowance for losses on Advances is deemed necessary.

Mortgage Loans Acquired under MPP. We have developed a systematic approach for reviewing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Using this methodology, we perform a review designed to identify probable impairment as well as compute a reasonable estimate of loss, if any. We consider all delinquent conventional loans, which are individually evaluated for impairment at the loan level or collectively evaluated for impairment within each pool. We evaluate the pools based on current and historical information and events and determine the necessary allowance for loans deemed to have a probable impairment after taking into consideration the estimated liquidation value of the real estate collateral held and the amount of the other credit enhancements, including the PMI, LRA and SMI.

To calculate the estimated liquidation value, we obtain actual selling prices on all properties in our MPP portfolio for which a claim was initiated with our SMI providers. The property selling price is obtained from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Statement. The total of the property selling prices is divided by the total of the original appraisal values to determine a weighted-average "collateral recovery rate" expressed as a percentage. Such rate is then applied at the pool level and is further reduced for estimated liquidation costs, to determine the estimated liquidation value for collective evaluation of impairment. We use the most recent 12 months weighted-average collateral recovery rate to allow us to estimate losses based upon our historical experience and to reflect current trends in the market.

Based on our analysis of current and delinquent conventional MPP loans, using the weighted-average collateral recovery rate for the previous 12 months of approximately 53.6% of the original appraised value, further reduced by estimated liquidation costs, we increased our estimated losses on our conventional mortgage loans, before any credit enhancements and including potential claims by servicers for any losses on approximately $28.0 million of principal that has been paid in full by the servicers, to $46.5 million at September 30, 2011

However, our allowance for loan losses considers the credit enhancements associated with conventional mortgage loans under the MPP. To determine a potential loss, the credit enhancements are applied to the estimated losses in the following order: any remaining borrower's equity, any applicable PMI up to coverage limits, any available funds remaining in the LRA, and any SMI coverage up to the policy limits. Any remaining loss would be borne by the Bank and included in our allowance for loan losses.





The following table quantifies the impact of credit enhancements on the allowance ($ amounts in millions):

As part of the analysis performed to determine the allowance for credit losses as discussed above and in Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses - Notes to Financial Statements, our analysis incorporates the use of a recognized third-party credit and prepayment model to estimate potential ranges of credit loss exposure for the loans in the MPP. The third-party credit and prepayment model serves as a secondary review of the systematic approach performed.

We have also performed our loan loss reserve analysis under an adverse scenario whereby we lowered the collateral recovery rate to 50% which, all else being equal, would have increased our allowance by approximately $2.1 million at September 30, 2011. We consider a collateral recovery rate of 50% to be the lowest rate that is reasonably possible to occur over the loss emergence period, which we have estimated to be 12 months. We continue to monitor the appropriateness of this adverse scenario based on the actual collateral recovery rate. Annually, we also consider other adverse scenarios that include loans in earlier stages of delinquency, counterparty losses on claims to our PMI and SMI providers, and higher costs to liquidate collateral.

We evaluated the adverse scenario and determined that the likelihood of incurring losses resulting from this scenario during the next 12 months was not probable. Therefore, the allowance for loan losses is based upon our best estimate of the losses incurred over the next 12 months that would not be recovered from the credit enhancements.

Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments
 
Accounting Developments. See Note 2 - Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance - Notes to Financial Statements for a description of how recent accounting developments may impact our results of operations or financial condition.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments. The legislative and regulatory environment continues to change as financial regulators issue proposed and/or final rules to implement the Dodd-Frank Act and Congress begins to debate proposals for housing finance and GSE reform.

Dodd-Frank Act. Although the FHLBanks were exempted from several notable provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, our business operations, funding costs, rights, obligations, and/or the environment in which we carry out our mission are likely to be impacted by the Dodd-Frank Act. Certain regulatory actions resulting from the Dodd-Frank Act that may have an important impact on us are summarized below, although the full effect of the Dodd-Frank Act will become known only after all of the required regulations, studies and reports are finalized and issued.

New Requirements for Our Derivatives Transactions. The Dodd-Frank Act provides for new statutory and regulatory requirements for derivative transactions, including those we utilize to hedge interest rate and other risks. As a result of these requirements, certain derivative transactions will be required to be cleared through a third-party central clearinghouse and traded on regulated exchanges or new swap execution facilities.





Mandatory Clearing of Derivatives Transactions. The CFTC has issued a final rule regarding the process to determine which types of swaps will be subject to mandatory clearing, but has not yet made any such determinations. The CFTC has also proposed a rule setting forth an implementation schedule for the effectiveness of its mandatory clearing determinations. Pursuant to this proposed rule, regardless of when the CFTC determines that a type of swap is required to be cleared, such mandatory clearing would not take effect until certain rules being promulgated by the CFTC and the SEC under the Dodd-Frank Act have been finalized. In addition, the proposed rule provides that each time the CFTC determines that a type of swap is required to be cleared, the CFTC would have the option to implement such requirement in three phases. Under the proposed rule, we would be a "category 2 entity" and would therefore have to comply with mandatory clearing requirements for a particular swap during phase 2 (within 180 days of the CFTC's issuance of such requirements). Based on CFTC's proposed implementation schedule and the time periods set forth in the rule for CFTC determinations regarding mandatory clearing, it is not expected that any of our swaps will be required to be cleared until the third quarter of 2012, at the earliest.

Collateral Requirements for Cleared Swaps. Cleared swaps will be subject to initial and variation margin requirements established by the clearinghouse and its clearing members. While clearing swaps may reduce counterparty credit risk, the margin requirements for cleared trades have the potential of making derivative transactions more costly. In addition, mandatory swap clearing will require us to enter into new relationships and accompanying agreements with clearing members and additional agreements with swap counterparties.

The CFTC has issued a proposed rule requiring that collateral posted by swap customers to a clearinghouse in connection with cleared swaps be legally segregated on a customer-by-customer basis. However, in connection with this proposed rule the CFTC has left open the possibility that customer collateral would not have to be legally segregated but could instead be commingled with all collateral posted by other customers of our clearing member. Such commingling would put our collateral at risk in the event of a default by another customer of our clearing member. To the extent the CFTC's final rule places our posted collateral at greater risk of loss in the clearing structure than under the current over-the-counter market structure, we may be adversely impacted.

Definitions of Certain Terms under New Derivatives Requirements. The Dodd-Frank Act will require swap dealers and certain other large users of derivatives to register as "swap dealers" or "major swap participants," as the case may be, with the CFTC and/or the SEC. Based on the definitions in the proposed rules jointly issued by the CFTC and SEC, it does not appear likely that we will be required to register as a "major swap participant," although this remains a possibility. Also, based on the definitions in the proposed rules, it does not appear likely that we will be required to register as a "swap dealer" for the derivative transactions we enter into with dealer counterparties for the purpose of hedging and managing our interest rate risk, which constitute the majority of our derivative transactions. However, based on the proposed rules, it is possible that an FHLBank could be required to register with the CFTC as a swap dealer based on intermediated "swaps" that it enters into with its members. Although our policies permit us to enter into intermediated swaps with our members, we have no such swaps outstanding as of November 10, 2011.

It is also unclear how the final rule will treat certain Advance products with FHLBank members that may contain features that operate in a similar manner to certain derivatives, such as interest-rate caps, floors and options. The CFTC and SEC have issued joint proposed rules further defining the term "swap" under the Dodd-Frank Act. These proposed rules and accompanying interpretive guidance attempt to clarify that certain products will or will not be regulated as "swaps." While it is unlikely that Advances transactions between us and our members will be treated as "swaps," the proposed rules and accompanying interpretive guidance are not entirely clear on this issue.

Depending on how the terms "swap" and "swap dealer" are defined in the final regulations, we may be faced with the business decision of whether to continue to offer Advances to members that have features that cause the Advances to be deemed to be "swaps," if those transactions would require us to register as a swap dealer. Designation as a swap dealer would subject us to significant additional regulation and cost including, without limitation, registration with the CFTC, new internal and external business conduct standards, additional reporting requirements and additional swap-based capital and margin requirements. Even if we are designated as a swap dealer, however, the proposed regulations would permit us to apply to the CFTC to limit such designation to those specified activities for which we are acting as a swap dealer. Upon such designation, our hedging activities would not be subject to the full requirements that will generally be imposed on traditional swap dealers.





Uncleared Derivatives Transactions. The Dodd-Frank Act also changes the regulatory landscape for derivative transactions that are not subject to mandatory clearing requirements (uncleared trades). While we expect to continue to enter into uncleared trades on a bilateral basis, such trades will be subject to new regulatory requirements, including new mandatory reporting requirements, new documentation requirements and new minimum margin and capital requirements. Under the proposed CFTC margin rules, we will have to post both initial margin and variation margin to our swap dealer counterparties, but may be eligible in both instances for modest unsecured thresholds as "low-risk financial end users." Pursuant to additional rules proposed by the Finance Agency, we will be required to collect both initial margin and variation margin from our swap dealer counterparties, without any unsecured thresholds. These margin requirements and any related capital requirements could adversely impact the liquidity and pricing of certain uncleared derivative transactions we may enter into, thus making uncleared trades more costly.

The CFTC has proposed a rule setting forth an implementation schedule for the new margin and documentation requirements for uncleared swaps. Pursuant to the proposed rule, regardless of when the final rules regarding these requirements are issued, such rules would not take effect until (1) certain other rules being promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Act take effect and (2) a certain additional time period has elapsed. The length of this additional time period depends on the type of entity entering into the uncleared swaps. We would be a "category 2 entity" and would therefore have to comply with the new requirements during phase 2 (within 180 days of the effectiveness of the final applicable rulemaking). Accordingly, it is not likely that we would have to comply with such requirements until the third quarter of 2012, at the earliest.
Temporary Exemption from Certain Provisions. While certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act took effect on July 16, 2011, the CFTC has issued an order temporarily exempting persons or entities with respect to provisions of Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act that reference "swap dealer," "major swap participant," "eligible contract participant" and "swap." These exemptions will expire upon the earlier of: (1) the effective date of the applicable final rule further defining the relevant terms; or (2) December 31, 2011. The CFTC has recently proposed an amendment to this order that would extend the exemptions contained in the existing order until the earlier of (i) the effective date of the applicable final rules further defining the relevant terms; or (ii) July 16, 2012. In addition, the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act that are expected to have the most significant impact on us did not take effect on July 16, 2011, but will take effect no less than 60 days after the CFTC publishes final regulations implementing such provisions. The CFTC is expected to publish such final regulations during the fourth quarter of 2011 or the first quarter of 2012, but it is not expected that such final regulations will become effective until the first or second quarter of 2012, and delays beyond that time are possible. In addition, as discussed above, mandatory clearing requirements and new margin and documentation requirements for uncleared swaps may be subject to additional implementation schedules, further delaying the effectiveness of such requirements.

We, together with the other FHLBanks, are actively participating in the regulatory process regarding the Dodd-Frank Act by formally commenting to the regulators regarding a variety of rulemakings that could impact us. We and the other FHLBanks are also working to implement the processes and documentation necessary to comply with the Dodd-Frank Act's new requirements for derivatives.

FDIC Regulatory Actions.

Banking Agency Revisions to Regulations to Permit Payment of Interest on Demand Deposit Accounts. The Dodd-Frank Act repealed the statutory prohibition against the payment of interest on demand deposits, effective July 21, 2011. To conform to this provision, the FDIC and other applicable banking regulators rescinded their regulations prohibiting paying interest on demand deposits effective July 21, 2011. FHLBanks members' ability to pay interest on their customers' demand deposit accounts may increase their ability to attract or retain customer deposits, which could reduce their funding needs from the FHLBanks.





Joint Regulatory Actions.
 
Proposed Rule on the Financial Stability Oversight Council's (the "Oversight Council's") Authority to Require Supervision and Regulation of Certain Nonbank Financial Companies. On October 18, 2011, the Oversight Council issued a second notice of proposed rulemaking to provide guidance regarding the standards and procedures it will consider in designating nonbank financial companies for heightened prudential supervision and oversight by the Federal Reserve Board.  This notice rescinds the prior proposal on these designations and proposes a three-stage process that includes a framework for evaluating a nonbank financial company. Under the proposed designation process, the Oversight Council will first identify those United States nonbank financial companies that have $50 billion or more of total consolidated assets and exceed any one of five threshold indicators of interconnectedness or susceptibility to material financial distress. Significantly for the Bank, in addition to the asset size criterion, one of the five thresholds is whether a company has $20 billion or more of borrowing outstanding, including bonds (in the Bank's case, Consolidated Obligations) issued. As of September 30, 2011, we had $40.9 billion in Total Assets and $36.8 billion in total outstanding Consolidated Obligations. If we are designated by the Oversight Council for supervision and oversight by the Federal Reserve Board, then our operations and business could be adversely impacted by additional costs and business activity restrictions resulting from such oversight. Comments on this proposed rule are due by December 19, 2011.
Finance Agency Regulatory Actions.

Home Affordable Refinance Program Changes. The Finance Agency, with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, have announced a series of changes to the Home Affordable Refinance Program in an effort to assist more eligible borrowers who can benefit from refinancing their home mortgage.  This program will continue to be available to borrowers with loans sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac on or before May 31, 2009, with current loan-to-value ratios above 80%.  The changes include lowering or eliminating certain risk-based fees, removing the current 125% loan-to-value ceiling for fixed-rate mortgages backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, waiving certain representations and warranties by the original selling institution, eliminating the need for a new property appraisal where there is a reliable automated valuation model estimate provided by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and extending the end date for the Home Affordable Refinance Program until December 31, 2013, for loans originally sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac on or before May 31, 2009.

If these changes are implemented on a large scale, the Bank could be affected in two ways. As owners of agency MBS, our income could be negatively impacted if a large number of mortgages prepay at their current rates, which would force us to reinvest the proceeds at possibly a lower rate of return. Also, although these changes only apply to mortgages held or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the Bank could be legally mandated to, or may choose to, offer for competitive reasons a similar refinancing program for the MPP loans we hold in our mortgage portfolio. If we were to offer a similar program, this could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Regulatory Waiver of SMI Rating Requirement for MPP Purchases. The Finance Agency's AMA regulations require FHLBank members that sell loans to FHLBanks through an AMA program (such as our MPP) to provide credit enhancements to the pools sold. One method allowed is to be legally obligated at all times to maintain SMI with an insurer rated not lower than the second highest rating category when SMI is used as a form of credit enhancement in the AMA program. With prolonged deteriorations in the mortgage markets, it has remained difficult for us to meet this requirement because no mortgage insurers that currently underwrite SMI are currently rated in the second highest rating category or better by any NRSRO. On August 6, 2009, the Director of the Finance Agency granted a temporary waiver of this NRSRO rating requirement for SMI providers, subject to certain limitations and conditions.

On April 8, 2010, in accordance with its temporary waiver, we submitted to the Finance Agency a written analysis of credit enhancement alternatives that would no longer rely on SMI for our existing pools of loans. On July 29, 2010, the Acting Director of the Finance Agency issued an order extending the waiver relating to our existing MPP pools that utilize SMI until such time as the Finance Agency amends the subject AMA regulation, or for an additional year, whichever comes sooner. On August 5, 2011, the Finance Agency extended this waiver until the subject regulation is amended. Under this extended waiver, we are required to continue evaluating the claims-paying ability of SMI providers, whether to hold additional retained earnings, and any other steps necessary to mitigate any attendant risk associated with using an SMI provider having a rating below the standard established by the AMA regulation.





Final Conservatorship/Receivership Regulation. On June 20, 2011, the Finance Agency issued a final conservatorship and receivership regulation for the FHLBanks effective July 20, 2011. The final regulation addresses the nature of a conservatorship or receivership and provides greater specificity on their operations, in line with procedures set forth in similar regulatory regimes (for example, the FDIC receivership authorities). The regulation clarifies the relationship among various classes of creditors and equity holders of an FHLBank under a conservatorship or receivership and the priorities for contract parties and other claimants in receivership. The Finance Agency explained that its general approach in adopting the final regulation was to set out the basic general framework for conservatorships and receiverships.

Housing Finance and GSE Reform. On February 11, 2011, the Department of the Treasury and the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development issued a white paper report to Congress entitled "Reforming America's Housing Finance Market: A Report to Congress." The report's primary focus is to provide options for Congressional consideration regarding the long-term structure of housing finance, including reforms specific to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Although the FHLBanks are not the primary focus of this report, they have been recognized as playing a vital role in helping smaller financial institutions access liquidity and capital to compete in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

Congress continues to consider various proposals to reform the United States housing finance system, including specific reforms to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. GSE reform has not progressed significantly to date, but we expect that GSE legislative activity will continue. While no pending legislation proposes specific changes to the FHLBanks, we could nonetheless be affected in numerous ways by changes to the United States housing finance structure and to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The ultimate effects on the FHLBanks of housing finance and GSE reform or any other legislation, including any legislation to address the federal deficit, are unknown at this time and will depend on the legislation or regulations, if any, that are finally enacted or adopted.

See the Legislative and Regulatory Developments section in our 2010 Form 10-K for additional discussion on pending legislative and regulatory developments.

Risk Management

We have exposure to a number of risks in pursuing our business objectives. These risks may be broadly classified as market, credit, liquidity, operations, and business. Market risk is discussed in detail in Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Management in our 2010 Form 10-K for more detailed information about these risks, including discussions of liquidity, operations, and business risk management.

Active risk management is an integral part of our operations because these risks are an inherent part of our business activities.  We manage these risks by, among other actions, setting and enforcing appropriate limits and developing and maintaining internal policies and processes to ensure an appropriate risk profile. 
 
Credit Risk Management. Credit risk is the risk that members or other counterparties may be unable to meet their contractual obligations to us, or that the values of those obligations will decline as a result of deterioration in the members' or other counterparties' creditworthiness. Credit risk arises when our funds are extended, committed, invested or otherwise exposed through actual or implied contractual agreements. We face credit risk on Advances and other credit products, investments, mortgage loans, derivative financial instruments, and AHP grants.  

The most important step in the management of credit risk is the initial decision to extend credit. We also manage credit risk by following established policies, evaluating the creditworthiness of our members and counterparties, and utilizing collateral agreements and settlement netting. Periodic monitoring of members and other counterparties is performed whenever we are exposed to credit risk.
 
Advances. We manage our exposure to credit risk on Advances through a combination of our security interest in assets pledged by the borrowing member and ongoing reviews of each borrower's financial condition. However, our credit risk is magnified due to the concentration of Advances in a few borrowers. As of September 30, 2011, our top four borrowers held 42% of total Advances outstanding, at par. Because of this concentration in Advances, we perform frequent credit and collateral reviews on our largest borrowers. In addition, we analyze the implications to our financial management and profitability if we were to lose the business of one or more of these borrowers.
 




Investments. We are also exposed to credit risk through our investment portfolios. The risk management policy approved by our board of directors restricts the acquisition of investments to high-quality, short-term money market instruments and highly-rated long-term securities.

Short-Term Investments. We place funds with large, high-quality financial institutions with investment-grade long-term credit ratings on an unsecured basis for terms of up to 275 days; most such placements typically mature within 90 days. At September 30, 2011, our unsecured credit exposure, including accrued interest related to short-term money-market instruments, was $3.5 billion to 10 counterparties and issuers, of which $2.8 billion was for Federal Funds Sold that mature overnight. We actively monitor counterparty creditworthiness, ratings, performance, and capital adequacy in an effort to mitigate unsecured credit risk on the short-term investments, with an emphasis on the potential impacts from global economic conditions. Unsecured transactions can only be conducted with counterparties that are domiciled in countries that maintain a long-term sovereign rating from S&P of AA or higher.
 
Long-Term Investments. Our long-term investments include RMBS guaranteed by the housing GSEs (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac), other U.S. obligations - guaranteed RMBS (Ginnie Mae), corporate debentures guaranteed by the FDIC and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government under the TLGP, and corporate debentures issued by GSEs.
Our long-term investments also include private-label MBS and ABS. We are subject to credit risk on private-label MBS and ABS, which are directly or indirectly secured by underlying mortgage loans. Each of the securities contains one or more forms of credit protection at the time of purchase, including subordination, excess spread, over-collateralization and/or an insurance wrap. Investments in private-label MBS and ABS may be purchased as long as the investments are rated AAA.

A Finance Agency regulation provides that the total value of our investments in MBS and ABS, calculated using amortized historical cost, must not exceed 300% of our total regulatory capital, consisting of Retained Earnings, Class B Capital Stock, and MRCS, as of the day we purchase the securities, based on the capital amount most recently reported to the Finance Agency. These investments, as a percentage of total regulatory capital, were 294% at September 30, 2011. Generally, our goal is to maintain these investments near the 300% limit.

Applicable rating levels are determined using the lowest relevant long-term rating from S&P, Moody's and Fitch. Rating modifiers are ignored when determining the applicable rating level for a given counterparty or investment.

On August 5, 2011, S&P lowered its long-term United States sovereign credit rating from AAA to AA+ with a negative outlook. On August 8, 2011, S&P lowered the long-term issuer credit ratings and related issuer ratings of the GSEs from AAA to AA+ with a negative outlook. In S&P's application of its government-related entities criteria, the ratings of the GSEs, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Federal Farm Credit, are constrained by the long-term sovereign credit rating of the United States. The TLGP debentures are guaranteed by the FDIC and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. Ginnie Mae guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on all of its RMBS, which are included in the above table in other U.S. obligations - guaranteed RMBS, and its guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. Our Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell are collateralized by AA-rated United States Treasuries. Although all of these individual securities are not rated, we consider these investments to have been downgraded based on S&P's action. We currently expect to recover all contractual cash flows on these securities because we determined that the strength of the issuers' guarantees and the direct or indirect support from the United States government are sufficient to protect us from losses.

In addition, the downgrades of the GSEs resulted in the lowering of our internal credit limits on our holdings of the GSEs' senior unsecured debt. We do not need to liquidate any existing holdings; however, any additional transactions must comply with the lower limits.

The following table presents the carrying values and fair values at September 30, 2011, of 12 private-label RMBS downgraded during the period from October 1, 2011, to October 31, 2011, from the lowest NRSRO rating previously reported. There were no other downgrades of MBS and ABS or unsecured counterparties during this period ($ amounts in millions):

There were no private-label MBS or ABS on negative watch as of October 31, 2011. We had investments in Federal Funds Sold of $330 million outstanding to one counterparty on negative watch as of October 31, 2011. No other unsecured counterparties were placed on negative watch.

Private-Label MBS and ABS. While there is no universally accepted definition of prime, Alt-A or subprime underwriting standards, MBS and ABS are classified as prime, Alt-A or subprime based on the originator's classification at the time of origination or based on classification by an NRSRO upon issuance. We do not hold any collateralized debt obligations. All MBS and ABS were rated AAA at the date of purchase.  

Our private-label MBS and ABS are backed by collateral located in the United States. The top five states, by percentage of collateral located in those states as of September 30, 2011, were California (56%), New York (6%), Florida (6%), Virginia (3%), and New Jersey (3%).





The tables below present for our prime, Alt-A and subprime securities the UPB by credit ratings, based on the lowest of Moody's, S&P, or comparable Fitch ratings, as well as amortized cost, fair value, and other collateral information by year of securitization as of September 30, 2011 ($ amounts in millions):

We classify our private-label RMBS and ABS as prime, Alt-A and subprime based on the originator's classification at the time of origination or based on classification by an NRSRO upon issuance of the MBS.
(2) 
Includes delinquencies of 60 days or more, foreclosures, real estate owned and bankruptcies, weighted by the UPB of the individual securities in the category based on their respective collateral delinquency.
(3) 
Represents the lowest ratings available for each security based on the lowest of Moody's, S&P or comparable Fitch ratings.
(4) 
Excludes paydowns in full subsequent to September 30, 2011.     
(5) 
The credit support for the home equity loans is provided by MBIA Insurance Corporation. This insurance company had a credit rating of B as of October 31, 2011, based on the lower of Moody's and S&P ratings.




OTTI Evaluation Process. We evaluate our individual AFS and HTM securities that have been previously OTTI, or are in an unrealized loss position, for OTTI on a quarterly basis as described in Note 7 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Analysis - Notes to Financial Statements contained in our 2010 Form 10-K.
 
OTTI calculations are performed on an individual security basis for which the projected losses of each security vary according to the assumptions used. These assumptions were based on current and forecasted economic trends affecting the underlying loans. Such trends include continued high unemployment, ongoing downward pressure on housing prices, and limited refinancing opportunities for many borrowers whose houses are now worth less than the balance of their mortgages.

The following tables present the significant modeling assumptions used to determine whether a security was OTTI during the third quarter of 2011, as well as the related current credit enhancement, as of September 30, 2011. Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before we will experience a loss on the security. The calculated averages represent the dollar-weighted averages of all of the private-label RMBS and ABS in each category shown. While there is no universally accepted definition of prime, Alt-A or subprime, the classification in the table below is based on the model used to estimate the cash flows for the security, which may not be the same as the classification at the time of origination.

We continue to actively monitor the credit quality of our private-label MBS and ABS, which depends on the actual performance of the underlying loan collateral as well as our future modeling assumptions. Many factors could influence our future modeling assumptions including economic, financial market and housing market conditions. If performance of the underlying loan collateral deteriorates and/or our modeling assumptions become more pessimistic as a result of deterioration in economic, financial market or housing conditions, we could record additional losses on our portfolio.





MPP. We are exposed to credit risk on loans purchased from members through the MPP. Each loan we purchase must meet guidelines for our MPP or be specifically approved as an exception based on compensating factors. For example, the maximum loan-to-value for any conventional mortgage loan purchased is 95%, and the borrowers must meet certain minimum credit scores depending upon the type of property or loan.
 
Credit Enhancements. FHA loans comprise 17% of our outstanding MPP loans, at par. These loans are backed by insurance provided by the FHA; therefore, we do not require either LRA or SMI coverage for these loans.
 
Credit enhancements for conventional loans include (in order of priority):

PMI (when applicable for the purchase of mortgages with an initial loan-to-value ratio of over 80% at the time of purchase);
LRA; and
SMI (as applicable) purchased by the seller from a third-party provider naming us as the beneficiary.

Primary Mortgage Insurance. As of September 30, 2011, we were the beneficiary of PMI coverage on $638.8 million or 13% of conventional mortgage loans. For a conventional loan, PMI, if applicable, covers losses or exposure down to approximately a loan-to-value ratio of between 65% and 80% based upon the original appraisal, original loan-to-value ratio, term, amount of PMI coverage, and characteristics of the loan. We are exposed to credit risk in that a PMI provider may fail to fulfill its claims payment obligations to us. We have analyzed our potential loss exposure to all of the PMI companies and, despite the low credit ratings and negative outlooks, do not expect any losses. This expectation is based on the credit-enhancement features of our master commitments (exclusive of PMI), the underwriting characteristics of the loans that back our master commitments, the seasoning of the loans that back these master commitments, and the performance of the loans to date. We closely monitor the financial conditions of these mortgage insurance companies.

The following table presents the mortgage insurance companies and related PMI coverage amount on seriously delinquent loans held in our portfolio as of September 30, 2011, and the mortgage insurance company credit ratings as of October 31, 2011

On August 3, 2011, we announced that we would no longer accept Republic Mortgage Insurance Corporation as a provider of PMI, effective with mandatory delivery contracts committed on or after August 1, 2011. 

On October 20, 2011, the Arizona Department of Insurance took possession and control of PMI Mortgage Insurance Co., and, beginning October 24, 2011, PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. will pay only 50% of their claim amounts with the remaining amount deferred until the company is liquidated. We are currently evaluating the impact of this action on the portion of the portfolio insured by PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. but we do not expect a material impact on the allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans in future periods as PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. was a small provider of mortgage insurance on our underlying mortgage loan portfolio.





Lender Risk Account. We use either a "spread LRA" or a "fixed LRA" for credit enhancement. The spread LRA was used in combination with SMI for credit enhancement of conventional mortgage loans purchased under our original MPP, and the fixed LRA is being used for all acquisitions of new conventional mortgage loans purchased under MPP Advantage. The only substantive difference between our original MPP and MPP Advantage is the credit enhancement structure.

For each pool of conventional loans acquired under the original MPP, we established a spread LRA in combination with SMI. The spread LRA is funded through a reduction to our net yield earned on the loans, and the corresponding purchase price paid to the PFI reflects the reduced net yield to us. Under our original MPP, the LRA for each pool of loans is funded monthly, at an annual rate ranging from seven to ten basis points depending on the MCC terms, from the interest spread received on outstanding loans and is used to pay loan loss claims or is held until the LRA accumulates to a required "release point." The release point is 30 to 50 basis points of the then outstanding principal balances of the loans in that pool, depending on the terms of the original contract. If the LRA exceeds the required release point, the excess amount is eligible for return to the member(s) that sold us the loans in that pool, subject to a minimum 5-year lock-out period and, in some instances, completion of the releases by the 11th year after loan acquisition. SMI provides an additional layer of credit enhancement beyond the LRA. Losses that exceed LRA funds are covered by SMI up to a severity of approximately 50% of the original property value of the loan, depending on the SMI contract terms. We would absorb any losses in excess of LRA funds and SMI.

The LRA for MPP Advantage differs from our original program in that the funding of the LRA occurs at the time the loan is acquired and consists of a portion of the principal balance purchased. The LRA funding amount is currently 120 basis points of the principal balance of the loans in the pool. There is no SMI credit enhancement for MPP Advantage. Funds in the LRA not used to pay loan losses may be returned to the seller subject to a release schedule detailed in each pool's contract based on the original LRA amount. No LRA funds are returned to the member for the first 5 years after acquisition but such returns are available to be completed by the 26th year after loan acquisition. We would absorb any losses in excess of LRA funds.

The LRA for each MCC is segregated. These funds are available to cover losses in excess of the borrower's equity and PMI, if any, on the conventional loans we have purchased. 

The LRA is recorded in Other Liabilities in the Statement of Condition and totaled $15.8 million at September 30, 2011, and $21.1 million at December 31, 2010. See Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses - Notes to Financial Statements for more information.
 
Supplemental Mortgage Insurance. For pools of loans acquired under our original MPP, we have credit protection from loss on each loan, where eligible, through SMI, which provides insurance to cover credit losses to approximately 50% of the property's original value, subject, in certain cases, to an aggregate stop-loss provision in the SMI policy. MCCs that equal or exceed $35 million of total initial principal to be sold on a best effort basis include an aggregate loss/benefit limit or "stop-loss" that is equal to the total initial principal balance of loans under the MCC multiplied by the stop-loss percentage, as is then in effect, and represents the maximum aggregate amount payable by the SMI provider under the SMI policy for that pool. We do not have SMI coverage on loans purchased on or after December 6, 2010.

Even with the stop-loss provision, the aggregate of the LRA and the amount payable by the SMI provider under an SMI stop-loss contract will be equal to or greater than the amount of credit enhancement required for the pool to have an implied credit rating of at least AA at the time of purchase. 

Non-credit losses, such as uninsured property damage losses that are not covered by the SMI, can be recovered from the LRA to the extent that there are available funds prior to a disbursement to the PFI. We will absorb any non-credit losses greater than the available LRA.
 




Credit Risk Exposure to Supplemental Mortgage Insurance Providers. As of September 30, 2011, we were the beneficiary of SMI coverage on mortgage pools with a total UPB of $5.0 billion. Two mortgage insurance companies provide all of the SMI coverage. The following table presents the SMI exposure ($ amounts in millions):

Finance Agency credit-risk-sharing regulations that authorize the use of SMI require that the providers be rated at least AA- at the time the loans are purchased. With the deterioration in the mortgage markets, we have been unable to meet the Finance Agency regulation's rating requirement because no mortgage insurers that underwrite SMI are currently rated in the second highest rating category or better by any NRSRO. In fact, none of the mortgage insurance companies currently providing SMI coverage to us were rated higher than BB as of October 31, 2011.

MPP Advantage. On November 29, 2010, we began offering MPP Advantage, which utilizes an enhanced fixed LRA account for additional credit enhancement for new MPP business consistent with Finance Agency regulations, instead of utilizing coverage from an SMI provider. The only substantive difference between the two programs is the credit enhancement structure. Our original program relied on credit enhancement from LRA and SMI to achieve an implied credit rating, based on an NRSRO model, of at least "AA," in compliance with Finance Agency regulations. MPP Advantage relies on credit enhancement from LRA only, resulting in an implied credit rating of at least "BBB," which is also in compliance with Finance Agency regulations. For both the original MPP and MPP Advantage, the funds in the LRA are used to pay losses for a particular pool of loans. Additional information concerning the SMI provider ratings is provided in Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments - Legislative and Regulatory Developments - Finance Agency Regulatory Actions.
 
Loan Characteristics. The mortgage loans purchased through the MPP are currently dispersed across 50 states and the District of Columbia. No single zip code represented more than 1% of MPP loans outstanding at September 30, 2011, or December 31, 2010. It is likely that the concentration of MPP loans in our district states of Indiana and Michigan will increase in the future, due to the loss of the three largest sellers in 2006 - 2007 that were our primary sources of nationwide mortgages. The median outstanding balance of our MPP loans was approximately $132 thousand and $134 thousand at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. 

Credit Performance. The UPB of our conventional and FHA loans 90 days or more past due and accruing interest, non-accrual loans and troubled debt restructurings, along with the allowance for loan losses, are presented in the table below ($ amounts in millions):

Troubled debt restructurings related to mortgage loans are considered to have occurred when a concession is granted to the debtor related to the debtor's financial difficulties that would not otherwise be considered for economic or legal reasons. We do not participate in government-sponsored loan modification programs. There were four and six mortgage loans modified that were considered troubled debt restructurings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Although we establish credit enhancements in each mortgage pool at the time of the pool's origination that are sufficient to absorb loan losses up to approximately 50%, the magnitude of the declines in home prices, rise in unemployment rates, and increase in delinquencies in some areas since 2006 have resulted in losses in some of the mortgage pools that have exhausted credit enhancements. Some of our mortgage pools have loans originated in states and localities (e.g., California, Arizona, Florida, and Nevada) that have had the most severe declines in home prices. We purchased most of these loan pools from former members that are no longer members of the Bank and thus have stopped selling mortgage loans to us. When a mortgage pool's credit enhancements are exhausted, we realize any additional loan losses in that pool.





The serious delinquency rate for our FHA mortgages was 0.25% at September 30, 2011, compared to 0.09% at December 31, 2010. We rely on insurance provided by the FHA, which generally provides coverage for 100% of the principal balance of the underlying mortgage loan and defaulted interest at the debenture rate. However, we would receive defaulted interest at the contractual rate from the servicer.

The serious delinquency rate for conventional mortgages was 2.24% at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010. Both rates were below the national serious delinquency rate. See Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses - Notes to Financial Statements for more information.

Derivatives. A primary credit risk posed by derivative transactions is the risk that a counterparty will fail to meet its related contractual obligations, forcing us to replace the derivatives at market prices. The notional amount of interest-rate exchange agreements does not represent our true credit risk exposure; however, it serves as a factor in determining periodic interest payments or cash flows received and paid. Our net credit exposure is measured at fair value. When the net fair value of our interest-rate exchange agreements with a counterparty is positive, this generally indicates that the counterparty owes us. When the net fair value of the interest-rate exchange agreements is negative, this generally indicates that we owe the counterparty. If a counterparty fails to perform, our credit risk is approximately equal to the aggregate fair value gain, if any, on the interest-rate exchange agreements.

Includes mortgage delivery commitments.

AHP. Our AHP requires members and project sponsors to make commitments with respect to the usage of the AHP grants to assist very low-, low-, and moderate-income families, as defined by regulation. If these commitments are not met, we may have an obligation to recapture these funds from the member or project sponsor to replenish the AHP fund. This credit exposure is addressed in part by evaluating project feasibility at the time of an award and the member’s ongoing monitoring of AHP projects.






ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Market risk is the risk that the market value or estimated fair value of our overall portfolio of assets and liabilities, including derivatives, or our net earnings will decline as a result of changes in interest rates or financial market volatility. The goal of market risk management is to preserve our financial strength at all times, including during periods of significant market volatility and across a wide range of possible interest-rate changes. We regularly assess our exposure to changes in interest rates using a diverse set of analyses and measures. As appropriate, we may rebalance our portfolio to help attain risk management objectives.
 
Measuring Market Risks
 
We utilize multiple risk measurements, including duration of equity, duration gap, convexity, VaR, earnings at risk, and changes in market value of equity, to calculate market risk. Periodically, stress tests are conducted to measure and analyze the effects that extreme movements in the level of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve would have on our risk position. Detailed information about some of these market risk measurements is provided below.
 
Duration of Equity. Duration of equity is a measure of interest-rate risk and a primary metric used to manage our market risk exposure. It is an estimate of the percentage change (expressed in years) in our market value of equity that could be caused by a 100 basis point parallel upward or downward shift in the interest-rate curves. We value our portfolios using two main interest-rate curves, the LIBOR curve and the CO curve. The market value and interest-rate sensitivity of each asset, liability, and off balance sheet position is computed to determine our duration of equity. We calculate duration of equity using the interest-rate curves as of the date of calculation and for scenarios where interest-rate curves are 200 bps higher or lower than the initial level. Our board of directors determines acceptable ranges for duration of equity. A negative duration of equity suggests adverse exposure to falling rates and a favorable response to rising rates, while a positive duration suggests adverse exposure to rising rates and a favorable response to falling rates.

The following table presents the effective duration of equity levels for our total position which are subject to internal policy guidelines:

2.1 years
December 31, 2010
 
(1.0) years
 
0.6 years
 
2.9 years
 
*
Our internal policy guidelines provide for the calculation of the duration of equity in a low-rate environment to be based on the Finance Agency Advisory Bulletin 03-09, as modified September 3, 2008. Under these guidelines, our duration of equity was (0.9) years at September 30, 2011, and 0.6 years at December 31, 2010.

We were in compliance with the duration of equity limits established at both dates.

Duration Gap. The duration gap is the difference between the effective duration of total assets and the effective duration of total liabilities, adjusted for the effect of derivatives. A positive duration gap signals an exposure to rising interest rates because it indicates that the duration of assets exceeds the duration of liabilities. A negative duration gap signals an exposure to declining interest rates because the duration of assets is less than the duration of liabilities. The duration gap was (1.7) months at September 30, 2011, compared to (0.6) months at December 31, 2010.

Convexity. Convexity measures how fast duration changes as a function of interest-rate changes. Measurement of convexity is important because of the optionality embedded in the mortgage and callable debt portfolios. The mortgage portfolios exhibit negative convexity due to the embedded prepayment options. Management routinely reviews convexity and considers it when developing funding and hedging strategies for the acquisition of mortgage-based assets. A primary strategy for managing convexity risk arising from our mortgage portfolio is the issuance of callable debt. At September 30, 2011, callable debt funding mortgage assets as a percentage of the net mortgage portfolio equaled 30%, compared to 34% at the end of 2010. The negative convexity of the mortgage assets is partially offset by the negative convexity of underlying callable debt.





Market Risk-Based Capital Requirement. We are subject to the Finance Agency's risk-based capital regulations. This regulatory framework requires the maintenance of sufficient permanent capital to meet the combined credit risk, market risk, and operations risk components. Our permanent capital is defined by the Finance Agency as Class B Stock (including MRCS) and Retained Earnings. The market risk-based capital component is the sum of two factors. The first factor is the market value of the portfolio at risk from movements in interest rates that could occur during times of market stress. This estimation is accomplished through an internal VaR-based modeling approach that was approved by the Federal Housing Finance Board (predecessor to the Finance Agency) before the implementation of our capital plan. The second factor is the amount, if any, by which the current market value of total regulatory capital is less than 85% of the book value of total regulatory capital.
 
The VaR approach used for calculating the first factor is primarily based upon historical simulation methodology. The estimation incorporates scenarios that reflect interest-rate shifts, interest-rate volatility, and changes in the shape of the yield curve. These observations are based on historical information from 1978 to the present. When calculating the risk-based capital requirement, the VaR comprising the first factor of the market risk component is defined as the potential dollar loss from adverse market movements, for a holding period of 120 business days, with a 99% confidence interval, based on these historical prices and market rates. Market risk-based capital estimates are presented below ($ amounts in millions):

Changes in the Ratio of Market Value to Book Value of Equity between Base Rates and Shift Scenarios. We measure potential changes in the market value to book value of equity based on the current month-end level of rates versus the ratio of market value to book value of equity under large parallel rate shifts. This measurement provides information related to the sensitivity of our interest-rate position. The table below presents changes in the ratio of market value to book value of equity from the base rates:

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is: (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms; and (b) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As of September 30, 2011, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision, and with the participation, of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer), Chief Operating Officer-Chief Financial Officer (the principal financial officer) and Chief Accounting Officer (the principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer-Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2011.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Exchange Act, that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and other internal controls will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can only be reasonable assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Additionally, over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.




Part II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Except as described in the following paragraphs, we are unaware of any potential claims that could be material.

Lehman Brothers Bankruptcy

As previously disclosed in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holding Company, the guarantor for one of our former derivatives counterparties, Lehman Brothers Special Financing (Lehman), declared bankruptcy on September 15, 2008. We provided notice of default based on the bankruptcy to Lehman Brothers Holding Company on September 22, 2008, and designated September 25, 2008, as the early termination date under the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement. On the early termination date, we had $5.4 billion notional amount of derivatives transactions outstanding with Lehman and no collateral posted to Lehman. The close-out provisions of the International Swaps and Derivatives Master Agreement required us to pay Lehman a termination fee of approximately $95.6 million, which we remitted to Lehman on September 25, 2008. Lehman's bankruptcy remains pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court Southern District of New York as Chapter 11 Case No. 08-13555(JMP). 

As previously disclosed in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we received a Derivatives Alternative Dispute Resolution notice from the Lehman bankruptcy estate on May 9, 2011. This matter has been scheduled for mediation with a court-appointed mediator in December 2011. While we believe that we fully satisfied our obligation to Lehman and intend to vigorously defend this matter, we are unable to predict the timing or ultimate outcome of this matter.

Private-Label MBS Litigation

As previously disclosed in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we filed an amended complaint on July 14, 2011, in the Superior Court of Marion County, Indiana, relating to 30 private-label MBS we purchased in the aggregate original principal amount of approximately $2.7 billion. Our amended complaint, like our original complaint filed on October 15, 2010, is an action for rescission and damages and continues to assert claims for negligent misrepresentation and violations of state and federal securities law occurring in connection with the sale of these private-label MBS. Our amended complaint includes additional legal and factual allegations in support of our claims and makes other technical corrections. On September 14, 2011, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss our amended complaint. Our response to that motion is due on November 14, 2011.





Item 1A.  RISK FACTORS
 
Except for an update to the following risk factors, there have been no material changes in the risk factors described in Item 1A of our 2010 Form 10-K.

Our Credit Rating, the Credit Rating of One or More of the Other FHLBanks, or the Credit Rating of the Consolidated Obligations Could be Lowered, Which Could Adversely Impact Our Cost of Funds, Our Ability to Access the Capital Markets, and/or Our Ability to Enter Into Derivative Instrument Transactions on Acceptable Terms

S&P and Moody's have each taken various actions regarding credit ratings on the FHLBanks and the FHLBank System's Consolidated Obligations, based on the implied linkage between the FHLBanks, and the FHLBank System's Consolidated Obligations, to the United States government.

On August 2, 2011, Moody's confirmed the Aaa rating on the FHLBank System's Consolidated Obligations and changed the rating outlook to negative at the same time that Moody's confirmed the Aaa bond rating of the United States government and changed the rating outlook to negative.

On August 5, 2011, S&P lowered its long-term sovereign rating on the United States government from AAA to AA+ and affirmed its A-1+ short-term credit rating on the United States government. S&P removed both ratings from CreditWatch, where they had been placed on July 15, 2011, with negative implications. On August 8, 2011, S&P lowered the issuer credit ratings of 10 of 12 FHLBanks (including us) and the rating on the FHLBank System's Consolidated Obligations from AAA to AA+. All 12 of the FHLBanks are currently rated AA+ with negative outlook. S&P affirmed the short-term issuer ratings of the FHLBanks and the short-term rating of the FHLBank System's debt at A-1+ and removed all of the ratings from CreditWatch.

As a result of S&P lowering our credit rating, we were required to deliver additional collateral (at fair value) to certain of our derivative counterparties. As of September 30, 2011, we had posted $804.3 million of collateral to 11 counterparties, compared to $42.1 million of collateral to two counterparties at June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to the lowering of collateral thresholds resulting from the S&P credit rating downgrades. If our credit rating had been lowered again by a major credit rating agency (from AA+ to AA), we could have been required to deliver up to an additional $7.6 million of collateral (at fair value) to our derivative counterparties at September 30, 2011. No other significant contract or covenant for any credit facility or other agreement is expected to be materially impacted by the downgrade.

Although these recent rating actions have not yet had a material impact on our funding costs, uncertainty still remains regarding possible longer-term effects resulting from these downgrades. Any future downgrades in credit ratings and outlook could result in higher funding costs or disruptions in our access to capital markets, including additional collateral posting requirements under certain derivative instrument agreements. Furthermore, member demand for certain of our products could possibly weaken. To the extent that we cannot access funding when needed on acceptable terms to effectively manage our cost of funds, our financial condition and results of operations and the value of membership in our Bank may be negatively affected.

Operations Risk Could Cause Unexpected Losses

Operations risk is the risk of unexpected losses attributable to human error, systems failures, fraud, unenforceability of contracts, or inadequate internal controls and procedures.

We rely heavily on our information systems and other technology to conduct and manage our business. If we experience a failure or interruption in any of these systems or other technology, we may be unable to conduct and manage our business effectively, including, without limitation, our Advances and hedging activities. During the third quarter of 2011, we signed a contract to replace our core banking system. This implementation, which is expected to take several years, along with several other key initiatives simultaneously undertaken this year, could subject us to a higher risk of failure or interruption. Although we have implemented a business continuity plan, we may not be able to prevent, timely and adequately address, or mitigate the negative effects of any failure or interruption. Any failure or interruption could adversely affect our Advances business, member relations, risk management, or profitability, which could negatively affect our financial condition, results of operations, or ability to pay dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock.
