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 have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the instructions promulgated by the SEC, for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in our 2013 Form 10-K.

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

Our significant accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2013 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these policies through March 31, 2014.

We use certain acronyms and terms throughout these financial statements, which are defined in the Glossary of Terms. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us," and "our" refer to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis or its management.

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

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

Financial Instruments Meeting Netting Requirements. We present certain financial instruments, including derivative instruments and securities purchased under agreements to resell, on a net basis when we have a legal right of offset and all other requirements for netting are met (collectively referred to as the netting requirements). For these financial instruments, we have elected to offset our derivative asset and liability positions, as well as cash collateral received or pledged, when we have met the netting requirements. We did not have any offsetting liabilities related to securities purchased under agreements to resell at March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Note 2 - Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance

Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. On January 17, 2014, the FASB issued guidance clarifying when consumer mortgage loans collateralized by real estate should be reclassified to REO. Specifically, such collateralized mortgage loans should be reclassified to REO when either the creditor obtains legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure, or the borrower conveys all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and may be adopted under either the modified retrospective transition method or the prospective transition method. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance, but its effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, is not expected to be material.




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


Accounting for Joint and Several Liability Arrangements. On February 28, 2013, the FASB issued guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date. This guidance requires an entity to measure these obligations as the sum of (i) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and (ii) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. In addition, this guidance requires an entity to disclose the nature and the amount of the obligations as well as other information about these obligations. This guidance became effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014, and was applied retrospectively to obligations with joint and several liabilities existing at January 1, 2014. This guidance had no effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

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

Realized Gains and Losses. There were no sales of AFS securities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013. However, on April 4, 2013, we sold six OTTI AFS securities, only one of which was in an unrealized loss position. Prior to the sale, we recorded an OTTI credit charge for this security, representing the entire difference between our amortized cost basis and its estimated fair value, which resulted in no gross realized losses from this sale. As of March 31, 2014, we had no intention of selling the AFS securities in an unrealized loss position 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.

Note 5 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

OTTI Evaluation Process and Results - Private-label RMBS and ABS. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate for OTTI our individual AFS and HTM securities that have been previously OTTI or are in an unrealized loss position. As part of our evaluation, we consider whether we intend to sell each security and whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery.

If either of these conditions is met, we recognize an OTTI loss in earnings equal to the entire difference between the debt security's amortized cost and its estimated fair value as of the Statement of Condition date. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded an OTTI credit charge of $1,924, representing the entire difference between our amortized cost basis and its estimated fair value, on one security for which we changed our previous intention to hold until recovery of its amortized cost. We did not have any such change in intent during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

For those securities that meet neither of these conditions, we performed a cash flow analysis to determine whether we expect to recover the entire amortized cost of each security. As a result of our analysis, additional OTTI credit losses were recognized for one security for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and no securities for the three months ended March 31, 2013. We determined that the unrealized losses on the remaining private-label RMBS and ABS were temporary as we expect to recover the entire amortized cost.

OTTI - Significant Modeling Assumptions. The FHLBanks' OTTI Governance Committee developed a short-term housing price forecast with projected changes ranging from a decrease of 3% to an increase of 9% over a twelve month period. For the majority of housing markets, the short-term housing price recovery forecast ranges from a decrease of 1% to an increase of 4%. Thereafter, home prices in these markets are projected to recover (or continue to recover) using one of five different recovery paths that vary by housing market.

The following table presents projected home price recovery by month following the short-term housing price forecast.

The following table presents the other significant modeling assumptions used to determine the amount of credit loss recognized in earnings for the one security that was determined to be OTTI during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The related current credit enhancement is also presented. Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches, excess spread, and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before we will experience a loss on the security. A credit enhancement percentage of zero reflects a security that has no remaining credit support and is likely to have experienced an actual principal loss. The calculated averages represent the dollar-weighted averages of the private-label RMBS in each category shown. The classification (prime, Alt-A or subprime) is based on the model used to estimate the cash flows for the security, which may not be the same as the classification by the rating agency at the time of origination.

The following table presents the March 31, 2014 classification and balances of OTTI securities impaired prior to that date (i.e., life-to-date) but not necessarily as of that date. Securities are classified based on the originator's classification at the time of origination or based on the classification by the NRSROs upon issuance. Because there is no universally accepted definition of prime, Alt-A or subprime underwriting standards, such classifications are subjective.

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

Other U.S. and GSE Obligations and TVA Debentures. For other U.S. obligations, GSE obligations, and TVA debentures, we determined that, based on current expectations, the strength of the issuers' guarantees through direct obligations of, or support from, the United States government is sufficient to protect us from any losses. As a result, all of the gross unrealized losses as of March 31, 2014 are considered temporary.

Prepayments. When a borrower prepays an Advance, future income will 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. The following table presents Advance prepayment fees and the associated swap termination fees recognized in Interest Income at the time of the prepayments:

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $3.8 billion and $4.1 billion, respectively, of Advances that can be prepaid without incurring prepayment or termination fees. All other Advances may only be prepaid by paying a fee that is sufficient to make us financially indifferent to the prepayment of the Advance.

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had putable Advances outstanding totaling $180,000 and $188,000, respectively. We had no convertible Advances outstanding at March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Credit Risk Exposure and Security Terms. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had a total of $6.5 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively, of Advances outstanding, at par, to single borrowers with balances that were greater than or equal to $1.0 billion. These Advances, representing 38% and 31%, respectively, of total Advances at par outstanding on those dates, were made to four and three borrowers, respectively. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we held $14.7 billion and $10.1 billion, respectively, of UPB of collateral to cover the Advances to these borrowers.

Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses

We have established an allowance methodology for each of our portfolio segments: credit products (Advances, letters of credit, and other extensions of credit to members); term securities purchased under agreements to resell; term federal funds sold; government-guaranteed or insured Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio; and conventional Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio. A description of the allowance methodologies for our portfolio segments as well as our policy for impairing financing receivables, placing them on non-accrual status, and charging them off when necessary is disclosed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 9 - Allowance for Credit Losses in our 2013 Form 10-K .

Credit Products. Using a risk-based approach, we consider the amount and quality of the collateral pledged and the borrower's financial condition to be indicators of credit quality on the borrower's credit products. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had rights to collateral on a member-by-member basis with an estimated value in excess of our outstanding extensions of credit.

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we did not have any credit products that were past due, on non-accrual status, or considered impaired. In addition, based upon the collateral held as security, our credit extension and collateral policies, our credit analysis and the repayment history on credit products, we have not recorded any allowance for credit losses on credit products.

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no liability to reflect an allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures was recorded. For additional information about off-balance sheet credit exposure, see Note 17 - Commitments and Contingencies.

MPF Credit Enhancements. CE Fees paid to PFIs were $102 and $46 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

If losses occur in a master commitment, these losses will either be: (i) recovered through the withholding of future performance-based CE Fees from the PFI or (ii) absorbed by us in the FLA. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our exposure under the FLA was $3,389 and $3,338, respectively, with CE Obligations available to cover losses in excess of the FLA totaling $26,851 and $26,284, respectively. Any estimated losses that would be absorbed by the CE Obligation are not reserved for as part of our allowance for loan losses. Accordingly, the calculated allowance was reduced by $152 and $142 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, for the amount in excess of the FLA to be covered by PFIs’ CE Obligations. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the resulting allowance for MPF loan losses was $500.

However, the MPP conventional loan allowance for loan losses includes $849 and $895 for these potential claims as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

(1) 
Includes loans for which the decision of foreclosure or similar alternative, such as pursuit of deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, has been reported. Loans in process of foreclosure are included in past due categories depending on their delinquency status.
(2) 
Represents loans 90 days or more past due (including loans in process of foreclosure) expressed as a percentage of the total recorded investment in mortgage loans. The percentage excludes principal amounts that were previously paid in full by the servicers on conventional loans that are pending resolution of potential loss claims. Many FHA loans are repurchased by the servicers when they reach 90 days or more delinquent status, similar to the rules for servicers of Ginnie Mae MBS, resulting in the lower serious delinquency rate for FHA loans.
(3) 
Although our past due scheduled/scheduled MPP loans are classified as loans past due 90 days or more based on the mortgagor's payment status, we do not consider these loans to be non-accrual.

Troubled Debt Restructurings. The table below presents the recorded investment of the performing and non-performing TDRs. Non-performing represents loans on non-accrual status only.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, certain conventional MPP loans classified as TDRs within the previous 12 months experienced a payment default. A borrower is considered to have defaulted on a TDR if the borrower's contractually due principal or interest is 60 days or more past due at any time during the period presented. The recorded investment of certain conventional MPP loans classified as TDRs within the previous 12 months that experienced a payment default was $96 and $1,059 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For purposes of this disclosure, only the initial default was included; however, a loan can experience another payment default in a subsequent period.

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

These amounts include the effect of derivatives in fair-value hedging relationships on Net Interest Income that is recorded in the Interest Income / Expense line item of the respective hedged items. These amounts exclude the Interest Income / Expense of the respective hedged items, which fully offset the Interest Income / Expense of the derivatives, except to the extent of any hedge ineffectiveness. Net interest settlements on derivatives that are not in fair-value hedging relationships (economic hedges) are reported in Other Income (Loss).

Managing Credit Risk on Derivatives. We are subject to credit risk due to the risk of nonperformance by the counterparties to our derivative transactions.

For our bilateral derivatives, we have credit support agreements that contain provisions requiring us to post additional collateral with our counterparties if there is deterioration in our credit rating. If our credit rating is lowered by an NRSRO, we could be required to deliver additional collateral on bilateral derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate estimated fair value of all bilateral derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position (before cash collateral and related accrued interest on cash collateral) at March 31, 2014 was $380,011 for which we have posted collateral, including accrued interest, with an estimated fair value of $265,530 in the normal course of business. In addition, we held other derivative instruments in a net liability position of $170 that are not subject to credit support agreements containing credit-risk related contingent features. If our credit rating had been lowered by an NRSRO (from an S&P equivalent of AA+ to AA), we could have been required to deliver up to an additional $5,880 of collateral (at estimated fair value) to our bilateral derivative counterparties at March 31, 2014.

For cleared derivatives, the Clearinghouse determines initial margin requirements, and generally credit ratings are not factored into the initial margin. However, clearing agents may require additional initial margin to be posted based on credit considerations, including but not limited to credit rating downgrades. We were not required to post additional initial margin by our clearing agents at March 31, 2014.

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $16,786 and $16,787, respectively, in capital stock subject to mandatory redemption, which is classified as a liability in the Statement of Condition. There were seven former members holding MRCS at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we repurchased $250,000 of excess stock under a redemption request held by shareholders that are former members (or their successors-in-interest). In addition, we redeemed $40,217 of excess stock held by former members because the stock had reached the end of its five-year redemption period.

Excess Capital Stock. Excess capital stock is defined as the amount of stock held by a member or former member in excess of that institution's minimum stock requirement. Finance Agency rules limit the ability of an FHLBank to create member excess stock under certain circumstances, including when 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 $541,468 at March 31, 2014, which equaled approximately 1.5% of our Total Assets. Therefore, we are currently not permitted to issue new excess stock to members or distribute stock dividends.

Note 16 - Estimated Fair Values

We review the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the inputs may result in a reclassification of certain assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in/out at estimated fair value as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occur. As described below, we reclassified six AFS securities from Level 3 to Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2013. There were no such reclassifications during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The following tables present the carrying value and estimated fair value of each of our financial instruments. The total of the estimated fair values does not represent an estimate of our overall market value as a going concern, which would take into account future business opportunities and the net profitability of assets and liabilities among other considerations.

Summary of Valuation Techniques and Significant Inputs. A description of the valuation techniques, significant inputs, and levels of fair value hierarchy is disclosed in Note 20 - Estimated Fair Values in our 2013 Form 10-K. No changes have been made in the current year, except as disclosed below.

Real Estate Owned. The fair value of REO at March 31, 2014 is estimated on a non-recurring basis using a current property value from an NRSRO model adjusted for estimated selling costs and expected PMI proceeds.

Estimated Fair Value Measurements. The following tables present by level within the fair value hierarchy the estimated fair value of our financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at estimated fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis on our Statement of Condition. We did not have any financial assets or liabilities recorded at estimated fair value on a non-recurring basis on our Statement of Condition as of December 31, 2013.

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

We classified the six securities we sold on April 4, 2013 as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2013 because the estimated fair values were derived from and corroborated by the sales prices in actual market transactions. The total estimated fair value of these six securities that we transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 was $124,179 as of January 1, 2013, the beginning of the quarter in which the transfer occurred.

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

In 2010, we filed a complaint asserting claims against several entities for negligent misrepresentation and violations of state and federal securities law occurring in connection with the sale of private-label RMBS to us. In March of 2014, we executed a confidential settlement agreement with certain defendants in this litigation, pursuant to which we have dismissed pending claims against, and provided legal releases to, various parties with respect to applicable securities at issue in the litigation, in consideration of our receipt of cash payments from those defendants. These settlements totaled $2,414, net of legal fees and litigation expenses, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and were recorded in Other Income.

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

Note 18 - Transactions with Related Parties

Executive Summary
 
Overview. We are a regional wholesale bank that makes Advances; purchases whole mortgages from our member financial institutions and participation interests in mortgage loans from other FHLBanks; purchases other investments; and provides other financial services to our member financial institutions. Our member financial institutions may consist of federally-insured depository institutions (including commercial banks, thrifts, and credit unions), insurance companies and community development financial institutions, which are chartered in or have a place of business in our district states of Indiana or Michigan. All member financial institutions are required to purchase shares of our Class B Capital Stock as a condition of membership. 

Our public policy mission is to facilitate and expand the availability of financing for housing and community development. We seek to achieve our mission by providing products and services to our members in a safe, sound, and profitable manner, and by generating a reasonable, risk-adjusted return on their capital investment. See Item 1. Business - Background Information in our 2013 Form 10-K for more information.

We group our products and services within two business segments:

•
Traditional, which consists of (i) credit products (including Advances, letters of credit, and lines of credit), (ii) investments (including Federal Funds Sold, Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell, AFS securities and HTM securities) and (iii) correspondent services and deposits; and
•
Mortgage Loans, which consist of (i) mortgage loans purchased from our members through our MPP and (ii) participation interests purchased from the FHLBank of Topeka in mortgage loans originated by its members under the MPF Program.
 
Our principal source of funding is the proceeds from the sale to the public of FHLBank debt instruments, called Consolidated Obligations, which are the joint and several obligation of all 12 FHLBanks. We obtain additional funds from deposits, other borrowings, and the sale of capital stock to our members.

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




Economic Conditions. Our financial condition and results of operations are influenced by the general state of the global and national economies; the conditions in the financial, credit and mortgage markets; the prevailing level of interest rates; and the economies in our district states and their impact on our member financial institutions.

On April 30, 2014, the FOMC reported that growth in economic activity has picked up recently, after having slowed sharply during the winter, in part because of adverse weather conditions. Labor market indicators were mixed but on balance showed further improvement. The unemployment rate, however, remains elevated. Household spending appears to be rising more quickly. Business fixed investment edged down, while the recovery in the housing sector remained slow. Fiscal policy is restraining economic growth, although the extent of restraint is diminishing. However, on March 24, 2014, S&P issued a report  that predicted a stronger United States economy this year and next, despite the effects of adverse weather during the winter of 2013-14. The predictions are based on S&P expectations of improved consumer spending, a stronger job market, improved corporate balance sheets, a housing rebound, a revival in the manufacturing sector, and better conditions for United States exports as its trading partners' economies heal.

On April 30, 2014, to support continued progress toward maximum employment and price stability, the FOMC reaffirmed its view that a highly accommodative stance of monetary policy remains appropriate. In determining how long to maintain the current 0.00-0.25% target range for the federal funds rate, the FOMC will assess progress (both realized and expected) toward its mandated objectives of maximum employment and 2% inflation. This assessment will take into account a wide range of information, including measures of labor market conditions, indicators of inflation pressures and expectations, and readings on financial developments.

When the FOMC decides to begin to remove policy accommodation, it will take a balanced approach consistent with its longer-run goals. The FOMC currently anticipates that, even after employment and inflation are near mandate-consistent levels, economic conditions may, for some time, warrant keeping the target federal funds rate below levels the FOMC views as normal in the longer run.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that Michigan's preliminary unemployment rate was 7.5% for March 2014, while Indiana's preliminary rate was 5.9%, compared to the national rate of 6.7%. According to information provided by Black Knight Financial Services for February, Indiana had a non-current mortgage rate (loans past due 30 days or more) of 9.5%, and Michigan had a non-current mortgage rate of 7.0%, compared to the national rate of 8.2%.

In its February 2014 forecast, the Center for Econometric Research at Indiana University indicated employment growth in Indiana during the second half of 2013 was stronger than the nation as a whole. In 2014, slightly better employment growth is predicted from the manufacturing sector, with some deceleration in job creation elsewhere. Personal income growth is expected to improve in 2014 after a lull in 2013.

On April 9, 2014, the Research Seminar in Quantitative Economics at the University of Michigan predicted job growth in Michigan rebounding in the second quarter of 2014, after a downward tick in the first quarter of 2014, with a solid and sustainable pace of 1.4% to 1.5% in the second half of 2014 through 2015.

According to a report issued by S&P on March 19, 2014, risks in the global banking sectors have sharpened in 2014 and are likely to weigh on the financial institutions in a number of ways. Going forward, S&P considers three particular risks to the financial institutions' outlook to be: (i) changing monetary policy and its effects on the economy and financial markets, (ii) the impact of regulatory reforms on business models and risk-taking, and (iii) the potential reduction or removal of government support in some jurisdictions. For example, on April 29, 2014, S&P announced various rating actions on certain European banks reflecting the view that extraordinary government support is likely to diminish as regulators implement resolution frameworks.




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

During the first quarter of 2014, the debt markets stabilized compared to fourth quarter 2013 as market participants began to digest the impacts of reduced Federal Reserve Board purchasing as well as a negotiated federal budget deal. In mid-February, the debt ceiling crisis was once again averted before the impending deadline when the debt limit was suspended through March 2015. On April 30, 2014, the FOMC stated that, due to cumulative progress toward maximum employment and the improvement in the outlook for labor market conditions since the inception of the current asset purchase program, it had decided to make a further measured reduction in its purchases of agency MBS from $25 billion per month to $20 billion per month and its longer-term United States Treasury securities from $30 billion per month to $25 billion per month. The FOMC will maintain its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments from its holdings of both agency debt and agency MBS in agency MBS and of rolling over maturing United States Treasury securities at auction. The FOMC anticipates that its sizable and still-increasing holdings of longer-term securities should maintain downward pressure on longer-term interest rates, support mortgage markets, and help to make broader financial conditions more accommodative, which in turn should promote a stronger economic recovery and help to ensure that inflation, over time, is at the rate most consistent with its dual mandate of maximum employment and stable prices.

On March 21, 2014, Fitch affirmed the United States long-term issuer default rating at AAA and the short-term rating at F1+, both with a stable outlook. These ratings had been placed on rating watch negative during the fourth quarter of 2013, pending resolution of the 2014 budget discussions and further debt ceiling developments.

The decrease in Net Income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was substantially due to lower Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses, partially offset by higher Other Income that primarily resulted from unrealized gains on derivatives and hedging activities. The decrease in Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to lower net interest spreads and a lower overall level of interest-earning assets.

The decrease in Total Other Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to lower increases in the fair value of AFS securities.

Total Capital less AOCI plus MRCS.




The decrease in Total Assets at March 31, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013 was primarily due to a decrease in Cash and Due From Banks, partially offset by an increase in Investments. The net increase in Investments was mainly due to the lack of short-term investment opportunities at December 31, 2013.

The decrease in Total Liabilities at March 31, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013 was primarily due to a net decrease in Consolidated Obligations that was attributable to our lower funding needs.

The increase in Total Capital consisted of net increases in Capital Stock and Retained Earnings and a favorable change in AOCI.

Analysis of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

Net Interest Income. Net Interest Income, which is primarily the interest earned on Advances, Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio, short-term investments, and investment securities less the interest paid on Consolidated Obligations and Interest-Bearing Deposits, is our primary source of earnings. 

The decrease in Net Interest Income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to narrower spreads on our interest-earning assets and lower average balances of Advances and investment securities.

This decrease was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on MRCS, primarily due to repurchases of excess stock during 2013, and lower average balances of CO Bonds.

Provision for (Reversal of) Credit Losses. The change in the Provision for (Reversal of) Credit Losses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to a lower reversal of the portion of the allowance for loan losses on Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio pertaining to unrecoverable amounts from PMI and SMI providers. In the three months ended March 31, 2013, we had a net reduction in the allowance for loan losses of $4.4 million primarily due to an upgrade in the credit rating and outlook of one of our mortgage insurance providers. In the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had another net reduction in the allowance for loan losses of $0.7 million due to additional upgrades in the credit ratings of our mortgage insurance providers.

The favorable change in Other Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Results of OTTI Evaluation Process. The favorable change in OTTI credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, was due to a relative improvement in the projected performance of the underlying collateral on our private-label RMBS. For additional detail, see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 5 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment.

Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities. Our Net Interest Income and Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities are affected by the inclusion or exclusion of the net interest income/expense associated with derivatives. For example, if a derivative qualifies for fair-value hedge accounting, the net interest income/expense associated with the derivative is included in Net Interest Income along with the net interest income/expense on the hedged item. If a derivative does not qualify for fair-value hedge accounting (economic hedges) or if we have not designated it in such a qualifying hedge relationship, the net interest income/expense associated with the derivative is recorded in Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities in Other Income (Loss). The net interest settlements included in Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities increased by $6.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.

Our Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities fluctuate due to volatility in the overall interest rate environment as we hedge our asset or liability risk exposures. In general, we hold derivatives and associated hedged items to the maturity, call, or put date. Therefore, due to timing, nearly all of the cumulative net gains and losses for these financial instruments will reverse over the remaining contractual terms of the hedged item. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities for more information.

In the first quarter of 2013, we discontinued hedge accounting for 18 derivatives hedging Advances and CO Bonds. All of those derivatives matured or were called by December 31, 2013. However, certain other derivatives have either failed effectiveness at trade date or at a subsequent valuation date. As a result, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, net interest income of $2.7 million and net interest expense of $3.3 million, respectively, was recorded in Other Income (Loss) instead of Net Interest Income.

We continue to carry these derivatives that have failed effectiveness at their estimated fair values and recognize the net interest settlements and changes in the estimated fair value in Other Income (Loss) with no offsetting estimated fair value adjustments for the hedged items. The change in estimated fair value of these derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was a gain of $1.4 million and $3.9 million, respectively. In addition, when hedge accounting is discontinued, we cease adjusting the hedged item's basis for changes in estimated fair value and begin amortizing/accreting the frozen basis adjustment such that the yield on the instrument remains constant (or level). This amortization/accretion is included in Net Interest Income. As a result, the related amortization of the frozen basis adjustments for these discontinued hedges decreased Net Interest Income by $0.2 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The overall impact of the discontinuance of hedge accounting on Net Income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was favorable, but not significant.

Other. The increase in Other was due to a litigation settlement in the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $2.4 million, net of legal fees and litigation expenses, related to certain of our private-label RMBS. In 2010, we filed a complaint, asserting claims against several entities for negligent misrepresentation and violations of state and federal securities law occurring in connection with the sale of private-label RMBS to us. We executed a confidential settlement agreement with certain defendants in this litigation, pursuant to which we have dismissed pending claims against, and provided legal releases to, various parties with respect to applicable securities at issue in the litigation, in consideration of our receipt of cash payments from those defendants. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 17 - Commitments and Contingencies and Part II. Other Information, Item 1. Legal Proceedings for additional information.

Business Segments
 
Our products and services are grouped within two business segments: Traditional and Mortgage Loans.
 
The Traditional business segment consists of credit products (including Advances, letters of credit, and lines of credit), investments (including Federal Funds Sold, Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell, AFS Securities, and HTM Securities), and correspondent services and deposits.

The increase in Net Income for the Traditional business segment for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to an increase in Other Income (Loss) resulting from net unrealized gains on derivatives and hedging activities and litigation settlements related to certain of our private-label RMBS. The favorable change in Other Income (Loss) was partially offset by a decrease in Net Interest Income due to narrower spreads and lower average balances of Advances and investment securities.




The Mortgage Loans business segment includes (i) mortgage loans purchased from our members through our MPP and (ii) participation interests purchased from the FHLBank of Topeka in mortgage loans originated by its members under the MPF program.

Total Assets were $36.5 billion as of March 31, 2014, a net decrease of $1.3 billion or 3% compared to December 31, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to a higher level of liquid assets at December 31, 2013 resulting from repayments of Advances and uncertainty related to the debt ceiling legislation.
 
Advances. Advances totaled $17.1 billion at March 31, 2014, a net decrease of 1% compared to December 31, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to our members' reduced funding needs. 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. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 6 - Advances for more information.




Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio. We purchase mortgage loans from our members to support our housing mission, provide an additional source of liquidity to our members and diversify our investments. In general, the volume of mortgage loans purchased is affected by several factors, including interest rates, competition, the general level of housing activity in the United States, the level of refinancing activity and consumer product preferences.

In July 2012, we began purchasing participation interests in mortgage loans originated by certain of the FHLBank of Topeka's member institutions through their participation in the MPF Program. In January 2014, the FHLBank of Topeka notified us that it will no longer offer us the option to participate in new MPF Master Commitment Contracts. We continued to acquire participation interests in MPF loans under the existing MPF Master Commitment Contracts, which were fulfilled in April 2014.

We have established and maintain an allowance for loan losses based on our best estimate of probable losses over the loss emergence period. Our estimate of MPP losses remaining after borrower's equity was $29.0 million at March 31, 2014 and $31.5 million at December 31, 2013. This decrease from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014 was primarily the result of a reduction in the number of delinquent mortgage loans.

After we considered the portion recoverable under the associated credit enhancements, we established an allowance for MPP loan losses of $3.0 million at March 31, 2014 and $4.0 million at December 31, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in the estimated amounts recoverable from our PMI and SMI providers due to upgrades in their credit ratings. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses, Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, and Risk Management - Credit Risk Management - Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio - MPP Credit Enhancements for more information.

Cash and Short-Term Investments. Cash and short-term investments totaled $2.5 billion at March 31, 2014, a decrease of 25% compared to December 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to higher liquidity levels at December 31, 2013 resulting



from repayments of Advances at the end of the year and uncertainty related to the debt ceiling legislation. Cash and Due from Banks also decreased due to the use of cash to take advantage of short-term investment opportunities at March 31, 2014.

The total outstanding balance and composition of our short-term investment portfolio is influenced by our liquidity needs, market conditions and the availability of short-term investments at attractive interest rates, relative to our cost of funds. See Liquidity and Capital Resources below for more information.

Investment Securities. AFS securities totaled $3.6 billion at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. HTM securities totaled $7.0 billion at March 31, 2014, a decrease of 3% compared to December 31, 2013 due to principal paydowns. There were no purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2014. See Risk Management - Credit Risk Management - Investments - Long-Term Investments herein for more information.

Total Liabilities. Total Liabilities were $34.1 billion at March 31, 2014, a net decrease of 4% compared to December 31, 2013. This net decrease of $1.3 billion was primarily due to a decrease of $1.4 billion in Consolidated Obligations, partially offset by an increase of $0.1 billion in Deposits.

Deposits (Liabilities). Total Deposits were $1.2 billion at March 31, 2014, an increase of 10% compared to December 31, 2013. Total Deposits represent a relatively small portion of our funding and may also vary depending upon market factors, such as the attractiveness of our deposit pricing relative to the rates available on alternative money market instruments, members' investment preferences with respect to the maturity of their investments, and member liquidity.

Consolidated Obligations. At March 31, 2014, the carrying values of our Discount Notes and CO Bonds totaled $6.4 billion and $26.2 billion, respectively, compared to $7.4 billion and $26.6 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2013. The overall balance of our Consolidated Obligations fluctuates in relation to our Total Assets and the availability of alternative sources of funds. 

The carrying value of our Discount Notes was 20% of total Consolidated Obligations at March 31, 2014, compared to 22% at December 31, 2013. Discount Notes are issued primarily to provide short-term funds, while CO Bonds are issued to provide longer-term funding. The composition of our Consolidated Obligations can fluctuate significantly based on comparative changes in their cost levels, supply and demand conditions, demand for Advances, and our balance sheet management strategy. As of March 31, 2014, $11.6 billion or 44% of our outstanding CO Bonds, at par, as well as all of our Discount Notes, have a remaining maturity of one year or less. Our funding strategy generally results in a significant portion of CO Bonds maturing in one year or less being replaced at maturity.

Derivatives. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had Derivative Assets, net of collateral held or posted, including accrued interest, with estimated fair values of $6.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively, and Derivative Liabilities, net of collateral held or posted, including accrued interest, with estimated fair values of $114.7 million and $109.7 million, respectively. Increases and decreases in the fair value of derivatives are primarily caused by market changes in the derivatives' underlying interest rate.

Total Capital. Total Capital was $2.4 billion at March 31, 2014, an increase of 1% compared to December 31, 2013. This increase consisted of a favorable change in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) of $16.4 million, a net increase in Retained Earnings of $11.5 million and a net increase in Capital Stock of $5.9 million. The change in AOCI was primarily due to a net change in unrealized gains (losses) on AFS securities.
 
 
 
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Liquidity. Our primary sources of liquidity are holdings of cash and short-term investments and the issuance of Consolidated Obligations. Our cash and short-term investments portfolio totaled $2.5 billion at March 31, 2014. Our short-term investments generally consist of high-quality, short- and intermediate-term financial instruments. 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.

We have not identified any trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that are likely to materially increase or decrease our liquidity.




Capital Resources.

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $16.8 million in non-member capital stock subject to mandatory redemption.

On March 28, 2014, we announced that our Board of Directors approved an extension of a limited opportunity for our members to increase their Advances with a lower accompanying capital stock requirement. This offer reflects our ongoing effort to manage capital in accordance with our capital plan while providing a reasonable, risk-adjusted return to our members. Specifically, fixed-rate bullet Advances with maturities ranging from three months to five years issued from April 14, 2014 through September 30, 2014 will require members to hold 2% in activity-based capital stock to support the borrowing rather than the previous level of 5%. The total amount of Advances available through this offer is limited; thus, the offer may be discontinued prior to September 30, 2014.

Capital Distributions. On February 20, 2014, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of 3.50% (annualized) on our Capital Stock Putable-Class B-1 and 2.80% (annualized) on our Capital Stock Putable-Class B-2 based on our net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. On the same date, as a result of our unusually high earnings for the fourth quarter, our board of directors also declared a supplemental cash dividend of 2.00% (annualized) on our Capital Stock Putable-Class B-1 and 1.60% (annualized) on our Capital Stock Putable-Class B-2.

On April 29, 2014, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of 3.75% (annualized) on our Capital Stock Putable-Class B-1 and 3.0% (annualized) on our Capital Stock Putable-Class B-2 based on net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Our board of directors' decision to declare dividends is influenced by our financial condition, overall financial performance and Retained Earnings, as well as actual and anticipated developments in the overall economic and financial environment including the level of interest rates and conditions in the mortgage and credit markets. In addition, our board of directors considers several other factors, including our risk profile, the impact on our relationship with our members and the stability of our current capital stock position and membership.

An estimate of the losses is included in the MPP conventional loan allowance for loan losses. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses for more information.




See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 17 - Commitments and Contingencies for information on additional commitments and contingencies.

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

•
Derivatives and hedging activities (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities for more detail);
•
Fair value estimates (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 16 - Estimated Fair Values for more detail);
•
Provision for credit losses (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses for more detail);
•
Premiums and discounts and other costs associated with originating or acquiring mortgage loans (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for more detail); and
•
OTTI (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 5 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment for more detail).

A full discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates can be found in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our 2013 Form 10-K. See below for additional information regarding certain of these policies.

Provision for Credit Losses.

Mortgage Loans Acquired under the MPP. Our allowance for loan losses incorporates our analysis of delinquent conventional MPP loans, using the weighted-average collateral recovery rate for the previous 12 months of approximately 56.5% of the original appraised value, further reduced by estimated liquidation costs.

We have also performed our loan loss analysis under an adverse scenario whereby we lowered the weighted-average collateral recovery rate to 45% for delinquent conventional loans and individually evaluated loans. While holding all other assumptions constant, such scenario would have increased our allowance by approximately $3.7 million at March 31, 2014. We consider a weighted-average collateral recovery rate of 45% to be the lowest rate that is reasonably possible to occur over the loss emergence period of 24 months. We continue to monitor the appropriateness of this adverse scenario based on the actual collateral recovery rate. Additionally, we evaluate the actual collateral recovery rate against other time periods including the most recent 3- and 6-month periods in order to consider potential trends in the market. Annually, we also consider other adverse scenarios that include loans in earlier stages of delinquency (90 days) and higher costs to liquidate collateral.

We evaluated these adverse scenarios and determined that the likelihood of incurring losses resulting from these scenarios during the next 24 months was not probable. Therefore, the allowance for loan losses is based upon our best estimate of the probable losses over the next 24 months that would not be recovered from the credit enhancements.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Analysis. In addition to evaluating our private-label RMBS under a best estimate scenario, we performed a cash flow analysis for each of these securities under a more stressful housing price scenario. This more stressful scenario was based on a short-term housing price forecast that was decreased 5% followed by a recovery path that is 33% lower than the best estimate.

The 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.

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

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

Legislative and Regulatory Developments. The legislative and regulatory environment in which the Bank and its members operate continues to evolve as a result of regulations enacted pursuant to the Housing and Economic Recovery Act, as amended, and the Dodd-Frank Act. Our business operations, funding costs, rights, obligations, and/or the environment in which we carry out our housing finance and economic development missions are likely to continue to be significantly impacted by these changes. Significant regulatory actions and developments for the period covered by this report are summarized below.

Significant Finance Agency Developments.

Proposed Rule on Responsibilities of Boards of Directors; Corporate Practices and Corporate Governance Matters. On January 28, 2014, the Finance Agency published a proposed rule to relocate and consolidate existing Federal Housing Finance Board and Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight regulations pertaining to director responsibilities, corporate practices, and corporate governance matters for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac (together, the "Enterprises") and the FHLBanks (together with the Enterprises, the "regulated entities"). In addition, the proposed rule would make certain amendments or additions, including provisions to:

•
Revise existing risk management provisions to better align them with more recent proposals of the Federal Reserve Board, including requirements that each regulated entity adopt an enterprise-wide risk management program and appoint a chief risk officer with certain enumerated responsibilities;
•
Require each regulated entity to maintain a compliance program headed by a compliance officer who reports directly to the chief executive officer and must regularly report to the board of directors (or a board committee);
•
Require each regulated entity’s board to establish committees specifically responsible for the following matters: (a) risk management; (b) audit; (c) compensation; and (d) corporate governance;
•
Require each FHLBank to designate in its bylaws a body of law to follow for its corporate governance practices and procedures that may arise for which no federal law controls, choosing from (a) the law of the jurisdiction in which the FHLBank maintains its principal office; (b) the Delaware General Corporation Law; or (c) the Revised Model Business Corporation Act; and
•
Subject an entity’s indemnification policies to review by the Finance Agency for safety and soundness, which may include Finance Agency limitations or prohibitions on indemnification payments for safety and soundness reasons.

Comments on the proposed rule are due by May 15, 2014.

Final Rule on Executive Compensation. On January 28, 2014, the Finance Agency issued a final rule setting forth requirements and processes with respect to compensation provided to executive officers by the FHLBank System. The final rule addresses the authority of the Director of the Finance Agency to approve, disapprove, modify, prohibit, or withhold compensation of certain executive officers of the FHLBank System. The final rule also addresses the Director’s authority to approve, in advance, agreements or contracts of executive officers that provide compensation in connection with termination of employment. The final rule prohibits an FHLBank or the Office of Finance from paying compensation to an executive officer that is not reasonable and comparable with compensation paid by similar businesses for similar duties and responsibilities. Failure by an FHLBank or the Office of Finance to comply with the rule may result in supervisory action by the Finance Agency. The final rule became effective on February 27, 2014.




Final Rule on Golden Parachute Payments. On January 28, 2014, the Finance Agency issued a final rule setting forth the standards that the Finance Agency will take into consideration when limiting or prohibiting golden parachute payments. The primary impact of this final rule is to better conform existing Finance Agency regulations on golden parachutes with FDIC golden parachute regulations. The final rule also limits golden parachute payments made by the Office of Finance or an FHLBank that is assigned a less than satisfactory composite Finance Agency examination rating. The final rule became effective on February 27, 2014.

Housing Finance and Housing GSE Reform. The Bank expects Congress to continue to consider reforms for United States housing finance and the regulated entities, including the resolution of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Legislation has been introduced in both the House of Representatives and the Senate that would wind down the Enterprises and replace them with a new finance system to support the secondary mortgage market. In June 2013, a bill entitled the Housing Finance Reform and Taxpayer Protection Act of 2013 ("Housing Finance Reform Act") was introduced in the Senate with bipartisan support. In March 2014, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Johnson and Ranking Member Mike Crapo proposed a bipartisan amendment to the Housing Finance Reform Act. In July 2013, Republican leaders of the House Financial Services Committee submitted a proposal entitled the Protecting American Taxpayers and Homeowners Act of 2013. These proposals would have direct implications for the FHLBanks if enacted. While the proposals reflect in part the Finance Agency’s recent efforts to lay the groundwork for a new United States housing finance structure by creating a common securitization platform and establishing national standards for mortgage securitization, they differ on the role of the federal government in the revamped housing finance structure.

We expect Congress to consider these and other proposed changes to the United States housing finance system in the coming months. Any such proposals could have consequences for the FHLBank System and affect our ability to provide readily accessible liquidity to our members. However, given the uncertainty of the Congressional process, it is impossible to determine at this time whether or when legislation for housing GSE or housing finance reform will be enacted or what the provisions of any such legislation will be. The ultimate effects of these efforts on the FHLBanks are unknown and will depend on the specific provisions of the legislation or other changes, if any, that ultimately are adopted and implemented.

Risk Management

We have exposure to a number of risks in pursuing our business objectives. These risks may be broadly classified as market, credit, liquidity, operations, and business. Market risk is discussed in detail in Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Management in our 2013 Form 10-K for more detailed information.

Credit Risk Management. We face credit risk on Advances and other credit products, investments, mortgage loans, derivative financial instruments, and AHP grants.

Advances. Generally, we maintain a credit products borrowing limit of 50% of a depository member's adjusted assets, defined as total assets less borrowings from all sources. As of March 31, 2014, we had no Advances outstanding to a depository member whose total credit products exceeded 50% of its adjusted assets.

Effective June 3, 2013, insurance company members whose total credit products exceed 15% of general account assets less borrowed money require additional approval by our Bank as provided for in our credit policy. Credit services underwriting makes a recommendation based upon a number of factors that may include the member's financial condition, collateral quality, business plan and earnings stability. These members are monitored more closely on an ongoing basis. As of March 31, 2014, we had Advances outstanding, at par, of $3.6 billion from five of our insurance company members whose total credit products included Advances outstanding that exceeded 15% of its general account assets less borrowed money. Beginning on March 21, 2014, management began establishing a limit on a case-by-case basis for our captive insurance company members based upon a review and recommendation by credit services underwriting.

As of both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Advances, at par, to our insurance company members were 61% of total Advances. We believe that Advances outstanding to our insurance company members and the relative percentage of their Advances to the total could continue to increase. Although insurance companies represent significant growth opportunities for our credit products, they have different risk characteristics than our depository members. Some of the ways we mitigate this risk include requiring insurance companies to deliver collateral to us or our custodian and using insurance-specific credit scoring models as part of our ongoing evaluation of our insurance company members' financial strength.




Concentration. Our credit risk is magnified due to the concentration of Advances in a few borrowers. As of March 31, 2014, our top two borrowers held 25% of total Advances outstanding, at par, and our top five borrowers held 44% 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 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. At March 31, 2014, our unsecured credit exposure to short-term money-market instruments, including accrued interest, was $225.0 million to one counterparty, which was for Federal Funds Sold that mature overnight. 

As of March 31, 2014, our unsecured credit exposure to investments in United States branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks was limited to Federal Funds Sold to a private counterparty whose parent is domiciled in Canada. This counterparty has a long-term credit rating of A, stated in terms of the S&P equivalent. Unsecured transactions can be conducted only with counterparties that are domiciled in countries that maintain a long-term equivalent sovereign rating from S&P of AA or higher. None of our Federal Funds Sold were with our members at March 31, 2014.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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), and agency debentures issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the TVA and the Federal Farm Credit Banks.

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 297% at March 31, 2014 compared to 308% at December 31, 2013. Although our outstanding investments in MBS and ABS exceeded the limitation at December 31, 2013, we were in compliance at the time we purchased the investments and, therefore, we were not considered to be out of compliance with the regulation. However, we were not permitted to purchase additional investments in MBS and ABS until these outstanding investments were within the capital limitation. Generally, our goal is to maintain these investments near the 300% limit in order to enhance earnings and capital for our members and diversify our revenue stream.




The following table presents the carrying values of our investments by credit rating, grouped by investment category. Applicable rating levels are determined using the lowest relevant long-term rating from S&P, Moody's and Fitch, each stated in terms of the S&P equivalent. Rating modifiers are ignored when determining the applicable rating level for a given counterparty or investment ($ amounts in millions):

Private-label RMBS and ABS. Private-label RMBS and ABS are classified as prime, Alt-A or subprime based on the originator's classification at the time of origination or based on classification by an NRSRO upon issuance. Because there is no universally accepted definition of prime, Alt-A or subprime underwriting standards, such classifications are subjective.

All private-label RMBS and ABS were rated with an S&P equivalent rating of AAA at the date of purchase. Our private-label RMBS and ABS are backed by collateral located only in the United States and the District of Columbia. The top five states, by percentage of collateral located in those states as of March 31, 2014, were California (63%), New York (6%), Florida (5%), Connecticut (2%), and Virginia (2%).




The table below presents the UPB of our private-label RMBS and ABS by credit ratings, based on the lowest of Moody's, S&P, or comparable Fitch ratings, each stated in terms of the S&P equivalent, as well as amortized cost, estimated fair value, and OTTI losses, grouped by year of securitization as of March 31, 2014 ($ amounts in millions):

(1) 
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. Because there is no universally accepted definition of prime, Alt-A or subprime underwriting standards, such classifications are subjective.
(2) 
Variable-rate private-label RMBS and ABS include those with a contractual coupon rate that, prior to contractual maturity, is either scheduled to change or is subject to change.
(3) 
All variable-rate prime loans are hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage securities.




OTTI Evaluation Process. The following tables present additional significant modeling assumptions used to determine whether a security was OTTI during the first quarter of 2014, as well as the related current credit enhancement as of March 31, 2014. Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before we will experience a loss on the security. A credit enhancement percentage of zero reflects securities that have no remaining credit support and are likely to have experienced an actual principal loss. The calculated averages represent the dollar-weighted averages of all of the private-label RMBS and ABS in each category shown. RMBS and ABS are classified as prime, Alt-A or subprime based on the model used to estimate the cash flows for the security, which may not be the same as the classification by the rating agency at the time of origination ($ amounts in millions).

Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio.

MPP Credit Enhancements. Credit enhancements for conventional MPP 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.

Apart from these credit enhancements, we have other contractual and legal remedies available to us to manage some risks posed within our mortgage loans portfolio, such as the risk that a seller (or its successor-in-interest) may breach or be unwilling or unable to perform on its contractual obligations to us. 

    



Primary Mortgage Insurance. The following table presents the PMI providers and related PMI coverage amount on seriously delinquent loans held in our portfolio as of March 31, 2014, and the mortgage insurance company credit ratings as of April 30, 2014 ($ amounts in millions):

(3)  
On August 3, 2011, we announced that we would no longer accept Republic Mortgage Insurance Company as a provider of PMI, effective with MDCs committed on or after August 1, 2011. On January 20, 2012, the North Carolina Department of Insurance took possession and control of Republic Mortgage Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Old Republic International Corporation, and, beginning January 19, 2012, Republic Mortgage Insurance Company was authorized to pay only 50% of its claim amounts, with the remaining amount to be paid at a future date when funds become available. On December 3, 2012, Republic Mortgage Insurance Company announced regulatory approval of a plan to pay 60% of its claims amounts for claims settled subsequent to January 19, 2012.
(4) 
Includes three mortgage insurance companies. On October 20, 2011, the Arizona Department of Insurance took possession and control of PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. Beginning October 24, 2011, PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. paid only 50% of its claim amounts with the remaining amount deferred until the company is liquidated. On April 5, 2013, PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. announced regulatory approval of a plan to pay 55% of its claims amounts for claims settled subsequent to October 24, 2011.

Credit Risk Exposure to Supplemental Mortgage Insurance Providers. As of March 31, 2014, we were the beneficiary of SMI coverage, under our original MPP, on mortgage pools with a total UPB of $2.2 billion. Two mortgage insurance companies provide all of the SMI coverage. The following table presents the lowest credit rating and outlook of S&P, Moody's and Fitch stated in terms of the S&P equivalent as of April 30, 2014, and the SMI exposure ($ amounts in millions):

MPP and MPF Loan Concentration. The mortgage loans purchased through the MPP and the participation interests purchased through the MPF program are currently dispersed across 50 states and the District of Columbia. No single zip code represented more than 1% of mortgage loans outstanding at March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013. It is likely that the concentration of mortgage loans in Indiana and Michigan will continue to increase in the future due to the loss of the 3 largest MPP sellers in 2006 - 2007 that were our primary sources of nationwide mortgages. The median outstanding size of our mortgage loans was approximately $132 thousand and $131 thousand at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

MPP and MPF Credit Performance. The serious delinquency rate for the MPP FHA mortgages was 0.54% at March 31, 2014, compared to 0.56% at December 31, 2013. We rely on insurance provided by the FHA, which generally provides coverage for 100% of the principal balance of the underlying mortgage loan and defaulted interest at the debenture rate. However, we would receive defaulted interest at the contractual rate from the servicer.

The serious delinquency rate for MPP conventional mortgages was 1.39% at March 31, 2014, compared to 1.56% at December 31, 2013. Both rates were below the national serious delinquency rate. There were three seriously delinquent conventional MPF loans at March 31, 2014. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses for more information.

Derivatives. The Dodd-Frank Act provides for new statutory and regulatory requirements for derivatives transactions, including those we use to hedge our interest rate and other risks. Since June 10, 2013, we have been required to clear certain interest rate swaps that fall within the scope of the first mandatory clearing determination. Beginning in February 2014, certain derivatives designated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as "made available to trade" are required to be executed on a swap execution facility.

Our over-the-counter derivative transactions are either (i) executed with a counterparty (bilateral derivatives) or (ii) cleared through a Futures Commission Merchant (i.e., clearing agent) with a Clearinghouse (cleared derivatives). See Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Management - Credit Risk Management - Derivatives in our 2013 Form 10-K for more information.
The contractual or notional amount of derivative transactions reflects the extent of our participation in the various classes of financial instruments. Our credit risk with respect to derivative transactions is the estimated cost of replacing the derivative positions if there is a default, minus the value of any related collateral. In determining credit risk, we consider accrued interest receivables and payables as well as the netting requirements to net assets and liabilities. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities for more information.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Measuring Market Risks
 
We utilize multiple risk measurements, including duration of equity, duration gap, convexity, VaR, earnings at risk, and changes in market value of equity, to evaluate market risk. Periodically, stress tests are conducted to measure and analyze the effects that extreme movements in the level of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve would have on our risk position.
 
Duration of Equity. The following table presents the effective duration of equity levels for our total position, which are subject to internal policy guidelines:
Date
 
-200 bps (1)
 
0 bps
 
+200 bps
March 31, 2014

(1.9) years
 
1.8 years
December 31, 2013
 
0.6 years
 
(2.0) years
 
2.1 years
 
(1) 
Our internal policy guidelines provide for the calculation of the duration of equity in a low-rate environment to be based on the Finance Agency Advisory Bulletin 03-09, as modified September 3, 2008. Under these guidelines, our duration of equity was (1.9) years at March 31, 2014 and (2.0) years at December 31, 2013.

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

Duration Gap. The duration gap was (3.1) months at March 31, 2014, compared to (3.3) months at December 31, 2013.

Market Risk-Based Capital Requirement. When calculating the risk-based capital requirement, the VaR comprising the first factor of the market risk component is defined as the potential dollar loss from adverse market movements, for a holding period of 120 business days, with a 99% confidence interval, based on those historical prices and market rates. The table below presents the VaR ($ amounts in millions):

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 the ratios of market value to book value of equity:

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") is: (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms; and (b) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As of March 31, 2014, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the Principal Executive Officer), Chief Financial Officer (the Principal Financial Officer), and Chief Accounting Officer (the Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2014.
 
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Exchange Act that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are unaware of any potential claims against us that could be material.

Private-Label Mortgage-Backed Securities Litigation

On October 15, 2010, we filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Marion County, Indiana, relating to private-label residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") we purchased in the aggregate original principal amount of approximately $2.9 billion. The complaint, which has been amended, is an action for rescission and damages and asserts claims for negligent misrepresentation and violations of state and federal securities law occurring in connection with the sale of these private-label RMBS to us. As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, in March of 2014, we executed a confidential settlement agreement with certain defendants in this litigation, pursuant to which we have dismissed pending claims against, and provided legal releases to, various parties with respect to applicable securities at issue in the litigation, in consideration of our receipt of cash payments from those defendants.
