FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF TOPEKA

Notes to Financial Statements- Unaudited

June 30, 2015

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying interim financial statements of the FHLBank are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instruction provided by Article 10, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The financial statements contain all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the FHLBank’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.

The FHLBank’s significant accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. The interim financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the FHLBank’s audited financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the FHLBank’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 13, 2015 (annual report on Form 10-K). The notes to the interim financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the annual report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements under GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements in determining the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and estimated fair values and in determining the disclosure of any contingent assets or liabilities. Estimates and assumptions by management also affect the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. The most significant of these estimates include the fair value of trading securities, the fair value of derivatives and the allowance for credit losses. Many of the estimates and assumptions, including those used in financial models, are based on financial market conditions as of the date of the financial statements. Because of the volatility of the financial markets, as well as other factors that affect management estimates, actual results may vary from these estimates.

NOTE 2 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS AND CHANGES IN AND ADOPTIONS OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amendments to clarify the accounting for cloud computing arrangements. The amendments provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license and how to account for it. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, which is January 1, 2016 for the FHLBank, and early adoption is permitted.  The FHLBank can elect to adopt the amendments either: (1) prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date; or (2) retrospectively. The FHLBank is in the process of evaluating this guidance and its effect on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. In April 2015, FASB issued guidance that requires a reclassification of debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability from other assets to a reduction of the carrying amount of the liability consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs did not change as a result of this amendment. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, which is January 1, 2016 for the FHLBank. The period-specific effects as a result of applying this guidance are required to be adjusted retrospectively to each individual period presented on the statement of condition.The adoption of this amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. In February 2015,FASB issued guidance that impacts reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they must consolidate certain legal entities. Under the amended guidance, in a consolidation evaluation, more emphasis is placed on variable interests other than fee arrangements, such as principal investment risk or guarantees of the value of the assets or liabilities of the variable interest entity. The amendments emphasize risk of loss in the determination of a controlling financial interest and provide a scope exception for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investments Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, which is January 1, 2016 for the FHLBank. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

13

Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure. In August 2014, FASB issued guidance to change the accounting for government-guaranteed mortgage loans, including Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) loans. The amendments require that a mortgage loan be derecognized and a separate receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if: (1) the loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure; (2) at the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the property to the guarantor and make a claim on that guarantee and the ability to recover under that claim; and (3) at the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim determined on the basis of fair value is fixed. This receivable should be based upon the principal and interest expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The amendments were effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014, which was January 1, 2015 for the FHLBank. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. In June 2014, FASB issued guidance to change the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financings to that of secured borrowings, which is consistent with the accounting for repurchase agreements. The amendments also require two new disclosures: (1) information about transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements; and (2) increased transparency about the types of collateral pledged for repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The amendments were effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, which was January 1, 2015 for the FHLBank. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, FASB issued guidance to introduce a new revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of the new standard by one year, which makes the standard effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (January 1, 2018 for the FHLBank), including interim periods within that reporting period. The FHLBank is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it will have, if any, on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. In January 2014, FASB issued amendments intended to clarify when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of the residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. These amendments clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, when either: (a) the creditor obtains legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure; or (b) 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. The amendments were effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 (January 1, 2015 for the FHLBank), with early adoption permitted. The guidance could be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. The adoption of this amendment was prospective and did not have a material impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Other-than-temporary Impairment: For those securities for which an OTTI was determined to have occurred during the quarter endedJune 30, 2015 (that is, securities for which the FHLBank determined that it was more likely than not that the amortized cost basis would not be recovered), Table 3.8 presents a summary of the significant inputs used to measure the amount of credit loss recognized in earnings during this period as well as 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 the FHLBank will experience a loss on the security. The calculated averages represent the dollar-weighted averages of all the private-label MBS/ABS investments in each category shown.Private-label MBS/ABS are classified as prime, Alt-A and subprime based on the originator’s classification at the time of origination or based on classification by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO) upon issuance of the MBS/ABS.

¹  For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, securities previously impaired represent all securities that were impaired prior to April 1, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, securities previously impaired represent all securities that were impaired prior to January 1, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

²  The FHLBank amortizes the credit component based on estimated cash flows prospectively up to the amount of expected principal to be recovered. The discounted cash flows will move from the discounted loss value to the ultimate principal to be written off at the projected date of loss. If the expected cash flows improve, the amount of expected loss decreases which causes a corresponding decrease in the calculated amortization. Based on the level of improvement in the cash flows, the amortization could become a positive adjustment to income.

As of June 30, 2015, the fair value of a portion of the FHLBank's held-to-maturity MBS portfolio was below the amortized cost of the securities due to interest rate volatility and/or illiquidity. However, the decline in fair value of these securities is considered temporary as the FHLBank expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis on the remaining held-to-maturity securities in unrecognized loss positions and neither intends to sell these securities nor is it more likely than not that the FHLBank will be required to sell these securities before its anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis. For state and local housing agency obligations, the FHLBank determined that all of the gross unrealized losses on these bonds were temporary because the strength of the underlying collateral and credit enhancements was sufficient to protect the FHLBank from losses based on current expectations.

NOTE 4 – ADVANCES

General Terms: The FHLBank offers a wide range of fixed and variable rate advance products with different maturities, interest rates, payment characteristics and optionality. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the FHLBank had advances outstanding at interest rates ranging from 0.14 percent to 7.41 percent and 0.11 percent to 8.01 percent, respectively. Table 4.1 presents advances summarized by year of contractual maturity as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

The FHLBank’s advances outstanding include advances that contain call options that may be exercised with or without prepayment fees at the borrower’s discretion on specific dates (call dates) before the stated advance maturities (callable advances). In exchange for receiving the right to call the advance on a predetermined call schedule, the borrower may pay a higher fixed rate for the advance relative to an equivalent maturity, non-callable, fixed rate advance. The borrower normally exercises its call options on these advances when interest rates decline (fixed rate advances) or spreads change (adjustable rate advances). The FHLBank’s advances as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 include callable advances totaling $6,026,534,000 and $4,825,254,000, respectively. Of these callable advances, there were $5,912,178,000 and $4,697,045,000 of variable rate advances as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Convertible advances allow the FHLBank to convert an advance from one interest payment term structure to another. When issuing convertible advances, the FHLBank may purchase put options from a member that allow the FHLBank to convert the fixed rate advance to a variable rate advance at the current market rate or another structure after an agreed-upon lockout period. A convertible advance carries a lower interest rate than a comparable-maturity fixed rate advance without the conversion feature. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the FHLBank had convertible advances outstanding totaling $1,505,142,000 and $1,586,242,000, respectively.

NOTE 5 – MORTGAGE LOANS

The MPF Program involves the FHLBank investing in mortgage loans, which have been funded by the FHLBank through or purchased from its participating members. These mortgage loans are government-insured or guaranteed (by the FHA, the VA, the Rural Housing Service of the Department of Agriculture (RHS) and/or the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)) loans and conventional residential loans credit-enhanced by participating financial institutions (PFI). Depending upon a member’s product selection, the servicing rights can be retained or sold by the participating member. The FHLBank does not buy or own any mortgage servicing rights.

See Note 6 for information related to the FHLBank’s credit risk on mortgage loans and allowance for credit losses.

NOTE 6 – ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The FHLBank has established an allowance methodology for each of its portfolio segments: credit products (advances, letters of credit and other extensions of credit to borrowers); government mortgage loans held for portfolio; conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio; the direct financing lease receivable; term Federal funds sold; and term securities purchased under agreements to resell.

22

Credit products: The FHLBank manages its credit exposure to credit products through an integrated approach that generally includes establishing a credit limit for each member, includes an ongoing review of each member’s financial condition and is coupled with conservative collateral/lending policies to limit risk of loss while balancing members’ needs for a reliable source of funding. In addition, the FHLBank lends to its members in accordance with Federal statutes and Finance Agency regulations. Specifically, the FHLBank complies with the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (Bank Act), which requires the FHLBank to obtain sufficient collateral to fully secure credit products. The estimated value of the collateral required to secure each member’s credit products is calculated by applying collateral discounts, or haircuts, to the market value or UPB of the collateral, as applicable. The FHLBank accepts certain investment securities, residential mortgage loans, deposits, and other real estate related assets as collateral. In addition, community financial institutions are eligible to utilize expanded statutory collateral provisions for small business loans, agriculture loans and community development loans. The FHLBank’s capital stock owned by borrowing members is held by the FHLBank as further collateral security for all indebtedness of the member to the FHLBank. Collateral arrangements may vary depending upon member credit quality, financial condition and performance; borrowing capacity; and overall credit exposure to the member. The FHLBank can also require additional or substitute collateral to protect its security interest. FHLBank management believes that these policies are effectively applied to manage the FHLBank’s credit risk from credit products.

Based upon the financial condition of the member, the FHLBank either allows a member to retain physical possession of the collateral assigned to it, or requires the member to specifically assign or place physical possession of the collateral with the FHLBank or its safekeeping agent. The FHLBank perfects its security interest in all pledged collateral. The Bank Act affords any security interest granted to the FHLBank by a member priority over the claims or rights of any other party except for claims or rights of a third party that would be entitled to priority under otherwise applicable law and are held by a bona fide purchaser for value or by a secured party holding a prior perfected security interest.

Using a risk-based approach and taking into consideration each member’s financial strength, the FHLBank considers the type and level of collateral to be the primary indicator of credit quality on its credit products. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the FHLBank had rights to collateral on a member-by-member basis with an estimated value in excess of its outstanding extensions of credit.

The FHLBank continues to evaluate and make changes to its collateral guidelines, as necessary, based on current market conditions. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the FHLBank did not have any advances that were past due, on nonaccrual status or considered impaired. In addition, there have been no troubled debt restructurings related to credit products during 2015 and 2014.

Based upon the collateral held as security, management’s credit extension and collateral policies, management’s credit analysis and the repayment history on credit products, the FHLBank currently does not anticipate any credit losses on its credit products. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the FHLBank has not recorded any allowance for credit losses on credit products, nor has it recorded any liability to reflect an allowance for credit losses for off‑balance sheet credit exposures. For additional information on the FHLBank’s off-balance sheet credit exposure, see Note 14.

Government Mortgage Loans Held For Portfolio: The FHLBank invests in government-guaranteed or insured (by FHA, VA, RHA and/or HUD) fixed rate mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties. The servicer provides and maintains insurance or a guarantee from the applicable government agency. The servicer is responsible for compliance with all government agency requirements and for obtaining the benefit of the applicable insurance or guarantee with respect to defaulted government mortgage loans. Any losses on these loans that are not recovered from the issuer or guarantor are absorbed by the servicers. Therefore, the FHLBank only has credit risk for these loans if the servicer fails to pay for losses not covered by the insurance or guarantee. Based on the FHLBank’s assessment of its servicers, the FHLBank has not established an allowance for credit losses on government mortgage loans. Further as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, none of these mortgage loans have been placed on non-accrual status or were considered impaired because of the U.S. government guarantee or insurance on these loans and the contractual obligation of the loan servicer to repurchase the loans when certain criteria are met.

Conventional Mortgage Loans Held For Portfolio: The allowance for conventional loans is determined by a formula analysis based upon loss factors predominantly calculated using a historical analysis of loan performance. Delinquent loan migration analysis is performed to determine default probability rates, and historical loss analysis is performed to determine loss severity rates, both of which are then utilized as loss factors within the formula analysis. These analyses include consideration of various data observations, such as past performance, current performance, loan portfolio characteristics, collateral-related characteristics, industry data, and prevailing economic conditions. The measurement of the allowance for conventional mortgage loan losses may consist of: (1) reviewing all residential mortgage loans at the individual master commitment level; (2) reviewing specifically identified collateral-dependent loans for impairment; (3) reviewing homogeneous pools of residential mortgage loans; and/or (4) estimating credit losses in the remaining portfolio. The formula analysis is consistently applied, but loss factors may be adjusted in response to changing conditions, as a result of management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio.

23

During the first quarter of 2015, the FHLBank modified its technique for calculating the allowance for credit losses in connection with the adoption of Advisory Bulletin 2012-02 (AB 2012-02), Framework for Adversely Classifying Loans, Other Real Estate Owned, and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention, effective January 1, 2015. The adoption of AB 2012-02 is considered a change in estimate; however, it did not have a material impact to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. AB 2012-02 establishes a standard methodology for classifying loans, other real estate owned, and certain other assets, excluding investment securities, and prescribes the timing of asset charge-offs based upon these classifications. Management charges off delinquent mortgage loans where the decision of foreclosure or similar alternative such as pursuit of deed-in-lieu has been reported. Additionally, the adoption of AB 2012-02 requires any outstanding loan balance in excess of the fair value of the property, less cost to sell, to be classified as "Loss" when the loan is no more than 180 days delinquent, and a charge-off taken during the period identified. Fraudulent loans or borrowers in bankruptcy are also subject to the charge-off provisions of AB 2012-02. In conjunction with the implementation of AB 2012-02, management determined that a life-to-date net gain/loss on a loan transferred to real estate owned (REO), which includes charge-offs on loans considered impaired in compliance with AB 2012-02, would provide a more precise loss severity rate than the previous method of only considering losses from sale of the REO property. Management believes this change in technique will improve the FHLBank’s estimate of inherent losses in the portfolio.

Collectively Evaluated Mortgage Loans: The credit risk analysis of conventional loans evaluated collectively for impairment considers loan pool specific attribute data, applies estimated loss severities, and incorporates the associated credit enhancements in order to determine the FHLBank’s best estimate of probable incurred losses. Migration analysis is a methodology for determining, through the FHLBank’s experience over a historical period, the rate of default on pools of similar loans. The FHLBank applies migration analysis to loans based on the following categories: (1) loans in foreclosure; (2) nonaccrual loans; (3) delinquent loans; and (4) all other remaining loans. The FHLBank then estimates how many loans in these categories may migrate to a realized loss position and applies a loss severity factor to estimate losses incurred as of the Statement of Condition date.

Individually Evaluated Mortgage Loans:Certain conventional mortgage loans, primarily impaired mortgage loans that are considered collateral-dependent, may be specifically identified for purposes of calculating the allowance for credit losses. A mortgage loan is considered collateral-dependent if repayment is only expected to be provided by the sale of the underlying property, that is, if it is considered likely that the borrower will default and there is not sufficient CE obligation from a PFI to offset all losses under the master commitment. The estimated credit losses on impaired collateral-dependent loans may be separately determined because sufficient information exists to make a reasonable estimate of the inherent loss for these loans on an individual loan basis. The FHLBank estimates the fair value of this collateral by applying an appropriate loss severity rate or using third party estimates or property valuation models. The resulting incurred loss is equal to the difference between the carrying value of the loan and the estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs.

Direct Financing Lease Receivable: The FHLBank has a recorded investment in a direct financing lease receivable with a member for a building complex and property. Under the office complex agreement, the FHLBank has all rights and remedies under the lease agreement as well as all rights and remedies available under the member’s Advance, Pledge and Security Agreement. Consequently, the FHLBank can apply any excess collateral securing credit products to any shortfall in the leasing arrangement. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the direct financing lease receivable was not past due, on nonaccrual status or considered impaired.

Term Federal Funds Sold: These investments are all short-term unsecured loans conducted with investment-grade counterparties and we only evaluate these investments for purposes of an allowance for credit losses if the investment is not paid when due. There were no investments in term Federal funds sold outstanding as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and all such investments acquired during the periods ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were repaid according to their contractual terms.

Term Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell: These investments are considered collateralized financing arrangements and effectively represent short-term loans to investment-grade counterparties. The terms of these loans are structured such that if the market value of the underlying securities decreases below the market value required as collateral, the counterparty must provide additional securities as collateral in an amount equal to the decrease or remit cash in such amount, or the FHLBank will decrease the dollar value of the agreement to resell accordingly. If the FHLBank determines that an agreement to resell is impaired, the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost of the agreement is charged to earnings. There were no investments in term securities purchased under agreements to resell outstanding as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and all such investments acquired during the periods ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were repaid according to their contractual terms.

¹  The recorded investment for credit products includes only advances. The recorded investment for all other credit products is insignificant.

²  The recorded investment in a financing receivable is the UPB, adjusted for accrued interest, net deferred loan fees or costs, unamortized premiums or discounts, fair value hedging adjustments and direct write-downs. The recorded investment is not net of any valuation allowance.

³  Includes loans where the decision of foreclosure or similar alternative such as pursuit of deed-in-lieu has been reported. Loans in process of foreclosure are included in past due or current loans dependent on their delinquency status.

⁴  Loans that are 90 days or more past due or in the process of foreclosure expressed as a percentage of the total recorded investment for the portfolio class.

⁵  Loans on non-accrual status include $1,522,000 of troubled debt restructurings. Troubled debt restructurings are restructurings in which the FHLBank, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider.

The FHLBank carries derivative instruments at fair value on its Statements of Condition. Any change in the fair value of derivatives designated under a fair value hedging relationship is recorded each period in current period earnings. Fair value hedge accounting allows for the offsetting fair value of the hedged risk in the hedged item to also be recorded in current period earnings. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the FHLBank recorded net gain (loss) on derivatives and the related hedged items in fair value hedging relationships and the impact of those derivatives on the FHLBank’s net interest income as presented in Table 7.3 (in thousands):

¹  The differentials between accruals of interest receivables and payables on derivatives designated as fair value hedges as well as the amortization/accretion of hedging activities are recognized as adjustments to the interest income or expense of the designated underlying hedged item.

Based on credit analyses and collateral requirements, FHLBank management does not anticipate any credit losses on its derivative agreements. The maximum credit risk applicable to a single counterparty was $28,714,000 and $31,332,000 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The counterparty was the same each period.

Certain of the FHLBank’s bilateral derivative instruments contain provisions that require the FHLBank to post additional collateral with its counterparties if there is deterioration in the FHLBank’s credit rating. If the FHLBank’s credit rating is lowered by an NRSRO, the FHLBank may be required to deliver additional collateral on bilateral derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all bilateral derivative instruments with derivative counterparties containing credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net derivative liability position (before cash collateral and related accrued interest) as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $38,354,000 and $50,791,000, respectively, for which the FHLBank has posted collateral with a fair value of $7,921,000 and $16,422,000, respectively, in the normal course of business. If the FHLBank’s credit rating had been lowered one level (e.g., from double-A to single-A), the FHLBank would have been required to deliver an additional $18,100,000 and $21,700,000 of collateral to its bilateral derivative counterparties as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

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. The FHLBank was not required to post additional initial margin by its clearing agents as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The FHLBank’s net exposure on derivative agreements is presented in Note 10.

Consolidated obligation bonds are issued with either fixed rate coupon or variable rate coupon payment terms. Variable rate coupon bonds use a variety of indices for interest rate resets, such as LIBOR and Prime. In addition, to meet the specific needs of certain investors in consolidated obligation bonds, fixed rate and variable rate bonds may contain certain features that may result in complex coupon payment terms and call features. When the FHLBank issues structured bonds that present interest rate or other risks that are unacceptable to the FHLBank, it will simultaneously enter into derivatives containing offsetting features that effectively alter the terms of the complex bonds to the equivalent of simple fixed rate coupon bonds or variable rate coupon bonds tied to indices such as those detailed above.

32

The FHLBank’s participation in consolidated obligation bonds outstanding as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 includes callable bonds totaling $9,202,500,000 and $9,726,000,000, respectively. The FHLBank uses the unswapped callable bonds for financing its callable fixed rate advances (Note 4), MBS (Note 3) and mortgage loans (Note 5). Contemporaneous with a portion of its fixed rate callable bond issuances, the FHLBank will also enter into interest rate swap agreements (in which the FHLBank generally pays a variable rate and receives a fixed rate) with call features that mirror the options in the callable bonds (a sold callable swap). The combined sold callable swap and callable debt transaction allows the FHLBank to obtain attractively priced variable rate financing. Table 9.2 summarizes the FHLBank’s participation in consolidated obligation bonds outstanding by year of maturity, or by the next call date for callable bonds as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Consolidated Discount Notes: Consolidated discount notes are issued to raise short-term funds. Consolidated discount notes are consolidated obligations with original maturities of up to one year. These consolidated discount notes are generally issued at less than their face amount and redeemed at par value when they mature.

NOTE 10 – ASSETS AND LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO OFFSETTING

The FHLBank presents certain financial instruments, including derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities purchased under agreements to resell, on a net basis by clearing agent by Clearinghouse, or by counterparty, when it has met the netting requirements. For these financial instruments, the FHLBank has elected to offset its asset and liability positions, as well as cash collateral, including initial and variation margin, received or pledged and associated accrued interest.

Tables 10.1 and 10.2 present the fair value of financial assets, including the related collateral received from or pledged to clearing agents or counterparties, based on the terms of the FHLBank’s master netting arrangements or similar agreements as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

NOTE 11 – CAPITAL

The FHLBank is subject to three capital requirements under the provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act) and the Finance Agency’s capital structure regulation. Regulatory capital does not include accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) but does include mandatorily redeemable capital stock.

• Risk-based capital. The FHLBank must maintain at all times permanent capital in an amount at least equal to the sum of its credit risk, market risk and operations risk capital requirements. The risk-based capital requirements are all calculated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Finance Agency.Only permanent capital, defined as Class B Common Stock and retained earnings, can be used by the FHLBank to satisfy its risk-based capital requirement. The Finance Agency may require the FHLBank to maintain a greater amount of permanent capital than is required by the risk-based capital requirement as defined, but the Finance Agency has not placed any such requirement on the FHLBank to date.

• Total regulatory capital. The GLB Act requires the FHLBank to maintain at all times at least a 4.0 percent total capital-to-asset ratio. Total regulatory capital is defined as the sum of permanent capital, Class A Common Stock, any general loss allowance, if consistent with GAAP and not established for specific assets, and other amounts from sources determined by the Finance Agency as available to absorb losses.

• Leverage capital. The FHLBank is required to maintain at all times a leverage capital-to-assets ratio of at least 5.0 percent, with the leverage capital ratio defined as the sum of permanent capital weighted 1.5 times and non-permanent capital (currently only Class A Common Stock) weighted 1.0 times, divided by total assets.

Table 11.1 illustrates that the FHLBank was in compliance with its regulatory capital requirements as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollar amounts in thousands):

Leverage capital	$	2,275,281		$	2,857,762		$	1,842,699		$	2,301,842

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock: The FHLBank is a cooperative whose members and former members own all of the FHLBank’s capital stock. Member shares cannot be purchased or sold except between the FHLBank and its members at a price equal to the $100 per share par value. If a member cancels its written notice of redemption or notice of withdrawal, the FHLBank will reclassify mandatorily redeemable capital stock from a liability to equity. After the reclassification, dividends on the capital stock would no longer be classified as interest expense.

Table 11.3 shows the amount of mandatorily redeemable capital stock by contractual year of redemption as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands). The year of redemption in Table 11.3 is the end of the redemption period in accordance with the FHLBank’s capital plan. The FHLBank is not required to redeem or repurchase membership stock until six months (for Class A Common Stock) or five years (for Class B Common Stock) after the FHLBank receives notice for withdrawal. Additionally, the FHLBank is not required to redeem or repurchase activity-based stock until any activity-based stock becomes excess stock as a result of an activity no longer remaining outstanding. However, the FHLBank intends to repurchase the excess activity-based stock of non-members to the extent that it can do so and still meet its regulatory capital requirements.

¹  Represents mandatorily redeemable capital stock that is past the end of the contractual redemption period because there is activity outstanding to which the mandatorily redeemable capital stock relates.

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 purchase requirement. Finance Agency rules limit the ability of the FHLBank to create excess member stock under certain circumstances. For example, the FHLBank may not pay dividends in the form of capital stock or issue new excess stock to members if the FHLBank’s excess stock exceeds one percent of its total assets or if the issuance of excess stock would cause the FHLBank’s excess stock to exceed one percent of its total assets. As of June 30, 2015, the FHLBank’s excess stock was less than one percent of total assets.

Capital Classification Determination:The Finance Agency implemented the prompt corrective action (PCA) provisions of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. The rule established four capital classifications (i.e., adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized) for FHLBanks and implemented the PCA provisions that apply to FHLBanks that are not deemed to be adequately capitalized. The Finance Agency determines each FHLBank’s capital classification on at least a quarterly basis. If an FHLBank is determined to be other than adequately capitalized, the FHLBank becomes subject to additional supervisory authority by the Finance Agency. Before implementing a reclassification, the Director of the Finance Agency is required to provide the FHLBank with written notice of the proposed action and an opportunity to submit a response. As of the most recent review by the Finance Agency, the FHLBank has been classified as adequately capitalized.

NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUES

The fair value amounts recorded on the Statements of Condition and presented in the note disclosures have been determined by the FHLBank using available market and other pertinent information and reflect the FHLBank’s best judgment of appropriate valuation methods. Although the FHLBank uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments, there are inherent limitations in any valuation technique. Therefore, the fair values may not be indicative of the amounts that would have been realized in market transactions as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Subjectivity of Estimates: Estimates of the fair value of advances with options, mortgage instruments, derivatives with embedded options and consolidated obligation bonds with options are highly subjective and require judgments regarding significant matters such as the amount and timing of future cash flows, prepayment speed assumptions, expected interest rate volatility, methods to determine possible distributions of future interest rates used to value options, and the selection of discount rates that appropriately reflect market and credit risks. The use of different assumptions could have a material effect on the fair value estimates.

39

Fair Value Hierarchy: The FHLBank records trading securities, derivative assets and derivative liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis and on occasion, certain private-label MBS/ABS, impaired mortgage loans held for portfolio and non-financial assets on a non-recurring basis. The fair value hierarchy requires the FHLBank to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The inputs are evaluated and an overall level for the fair value measurement is determined. This overall level is an indication of the market observability of the fair value measurement for the asset or liability. The FHLBank must disclose the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements are classified for all assets and liabilities.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

• Level 1 Inputs –  Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the FHLBank can access on the measurement date.

• Level 2 Inputs –  Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following: (1) quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; (2) quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; (3) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals and implied volatilities); and (4) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

• Level 3 Inputs –  Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The FHLBank reviews its fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of certain assets or liabilities. There were no reclassifications of assets or liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

The carrying value and fair value of the FHLBank’s financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are summarized in Tables 13.1 and 13.2 (in thousands). These values do not represent an estimate of the overall market value of the FHLBank as a going concern, which would take into account future business opportunities and the net profitability of assets and liabilities.

Fair Value Measurements: Tables 13.3 and 13.4 present, for each hierarchy level, the FHLBank’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis on the Statements of Condition as of or for the period ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands). The FHLBank measures certain held-to-maturity securities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis due to the recognition of a credit loss. For held-to-maturity securities that had credit impairment recorded at period end for which no total impairment was recorded (the full amount of additional credit impairment was a reclassification from non-credit impairment previously recorded in AOCI), these securities were recorded at their carrying values and not fair value. The FHLBank measures certain impaired mortgage loans held for portfolio at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when, upon individual evaluation for impairment, the estimated fair value less costs to sell is lower than the carrying amount. For additional information on the valuation of impaired loans, see Note 6. Real estate owned is measured at fair value when the asset’s fair value less costs to sell is lower than its carrying amount.

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Joint and Several Liability:As provided by the Bank Act or Finance Agency regulation and as described in Note 9, consolidated obligations are backed only by the financial resources of the FHLBanks. FHLBank Topeka is jointly and severally liable with the other FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on all of the consolidated obligations issued by the FHLBanks. The par amounts for which FHLBank Topeka is jointly and severally liable were approximately $810,124,584,000 and $812,794,196,000 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. To the extent that an FHLBank makes any consolidated obligation payment on behalf of another FHLBank, the paying FHLBank is entitled to reimbursement from the FHLBank with primary liability. However, if the Finance Agency determines that the primary obligor is unable to satisfy its obligations, then the Finance Agency may allocate the outstanding liability among the remaining FHLBanks on a pro rata basis in proportion to each FHLBank’s participation in all consolidated obligations outstanding, or on any other basis that the Finance Agency may determine. No FHLBank has ever failed to make any payment on a consolidated obligation for which it was the primary obligor. As a result, the regulatory provisions for directing other FHLBanks to make payments on behalf of another FHLBank or allocating the liability among other FHLBanks have never been invoked.

The joint and several obligations are mandated by Finance Agency regulations and are not the result of arms-length transactions among the FHLBanks. As described above, the FHLBanks have no control over the amount of the guaranty or the determination of how each FHLBank would perform under the joint and several liability. Because the FHLBanks are subject to the authority of the Finance Agency as it relates to decisions involving the allocation of the joint and several liability for the FHLBank’s consolidated obligations, FHLBank Topeka regularly monitors the financial condition of the other FHLBanks to determine whether it should expect a loss to arise from its joint and several obligations. If the FHLBank were to determine that a loss was probable and the amount of the loss could be reasonably estimated, the FHLBank would charge to income the amount of the expected loss. Based upon the creditworthiness of the other FHLBanks as of June 30, 2015, FHLBank Topeka has concluded that a loss accrual is not necessary at this time.

Off-balance Sheet Commitments: As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, off-balance sheet commitments are presented in Table 14.1 (in thousands):

Commitments to Extend Credit: Standby letters of credit are executed for members for a fee. A standby letter of credit is a short-term financing arrangement between the FHLBank and its member or non-member housing associate. If the FHLBank is required to make payment for a beneficiary’s draw, these amounts are converted into a collateralized advance to the member. As of June 30, 2015, outstanding standby letters of credit had original terms of 1 day to 10 years with a final expiration in 2020. As of December 31, 2014, outstanding standby letters of credit had original terms of 2 days to 10 years with a final expiration in 2020. Unearned fees as well as the value of the guarantees related to standby letters of credit are recorded in other liabilities and amounted to $839,000 and $926,000 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Standby letters of credit are fully collateralized with assets allowed by the FHLBank’s Member Products Policy (MPP). Advance commitments legally bind and unconditionally obligate the FHLBank for additional advances up to 24 months in the future. Based upon management’s credit analysis of members and collateral requirements under the MPP, the FHLBank does not expect to incur any credit losses on the outstanding letters of credit or advance commitments.

45

Standby Bond-Purchase Agreements: The FHLBank has entered into standby bond purchase agreements with state housing authorities whereby the FHLBank, for a fee, agrees to purchase and hold the authorities’ bonds until the designated marketing agent can find a suitable investor or the housing authority repurchases the bond according to a schedule established by the standby agreement. Each standby agreement dictates the specific terms that would require the FHLBank to purchase the bond. The bond purchase commitments entered into by the FHLBank expire no later than 2018, though some are renewable at the option of the FHLBank. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the total commitments for bond purchases were with two in-district and one out-of-district state housing authorities as well as one participation interest in a standby bond purchase agreement between another FHLBank and a state housing authority in its district. The FHLBank was not required to purchase any bonds under any agreements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Commitments to Purchase Mortgage Loans: These commitments that unconditionally obligate the FHLBank to purchase mortgage loans from participating FHLBank Topeka members in the MPF Program are generally for periods not to exceed 60 calendar days. Certain commitments are recorded as derivatives at their fair values on the Statements of Condition. The FHLBank recorded mortgage delivery commitment net derivative asset (liability) balances of $(244,000) and $138,000 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Commitments to Issue Consolidated Obligations: The FHLBank enters into commitments to issue consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes outstanding in the normal course of its business. All settle within the shortest period possible and are considered regular way trades; thus, the commitments are appropriately not recorded as derivatives.

NOTE 15 – TRANSACTIONS WITH STOCKHOLDERS

The FHLBank is a cooperative whose members own the capital stock of the FHLBank and generally receive dividends on their investments. In addition, certain former members that still have outstanding transactions are also required to maintain their investments in FHLBank capital stock until the transactions mature or are paid off. Nearly all outstanding advances are with current members, and the majority of outstanding mortgage loans held for portfolio were purchased from current or former members. The FHLBank also maintains demand deposit accounts for members primarily to facilitate settlement activities that are directly related to advances and mortgage loan purchases.

Transactions with members are entered into in the ordinary course of business. In instances where members also have officers or directors who are directors of the FHLBank, transactions with those members are subject to the same eligibility and credit criteria, as well as the same terms and conditions, as other transactions with members. For financial reporting and disclosure purposes, the FHLBank defines related parties as FHLBank directors’ financial institutions and members with capital stock investments in excess of 10 percent of the FHLBank’s total regulatory capital stock outstanding, which includes mandatorily redeemable capital stock.

Activity with Members that Exceed a 10 Percent Ownership in FHLBank Capital Stock: Tables 15.1 and 15.2 present information as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 on members that owned more than 10 percent of outstanding FHLBank regulatory capital stock in 2015 or 2014 (dollar amounts in thousands). None of the officers or directors of these members currently serve on the FHLBank’s board of directors.

Direct Financing Lease: During 2002, the FHLBank entered into a 20-year direct financing lease with a member for a building complex and property. Either party has the option to terminate this lease after 15 years. The net investment in the direct financing lease with the member is recorded in other assets. The FHLBank’s $7,896,000 up-front payment for its portion of the building complex is recorded in premises, software and equipment. On October 31, 2005, the FHLBank amended its lease to occupy additional building space, thereby reducing the portion of the property previously leased back to the member and decreasing the member’s future lease payments. All other provisions of the original lease remained in effect. The net reduction in the lease receivable is recorded in premises, software and equipment. On March 31, 2015, the FHLBank provided a Notice of Termination of FHLBank Occupancy (Notice) to the member stating that the FHLBank plans to terminate its occupancy of the space currently occupied by the FHLBank as its headquarters. The Notice reflects the FHLBank’s intent to terminate its occupancy and initiate the sale of its space to the member on March 31, 2018. The 20-year direct financing lease will remain in place for the member's space being leased thereafter. Beginning April 1, 2018, the member's future lease payments will revert back to the initial amount prior to the October 31, 2005 amendment. The direct financing lease has been adjusted accordingly.

See Note 6 for additional information on the direct financing lease.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to assist the reader in understanding our business and assessing our operations both historically and prospectively. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our interim financial statements and related notes presented under Part I Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which includes audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2014. Our MD&A includes the following sections:

• Executive Level Overview – a general description of our business and financial highlights;

• Financial Market Trends – a discussion of current trends in the financial markets and overall economic environment, including the related impact on our operations;

• Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – a discussion of accounting policies that require critical estimates and assumptions;

• Results of Operations – an analysis of our operating results, including disclosures about the sustainability of our earnings;

• Financial Condition – an analysis of our financial position;

• Liquidity and Capital Resources – an analysis of our cash flows and capital position;

• Risk Management – a discussion of our risk management strategies;

• Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards; and

• Legislative and Regulatory Developments.

Executive Level Overview

We are a regional wholesale bank that makes advances (loans) to, purchases mortgages from, and provides limited other financial services to our member institutions. The FHLBanks, together with the Office of Finance, a joint office of the FHLBanks, make up the FHLBank System. As independent, member-owned cooperatives, the FHLBanks seek to maintain a balance between their public purpose and their ability to provide adequate returns on the capital supplied by their members. The FHLBanks are supervised and regulated by the Finance Agency, an independent agency in the executive branch of the U.S. government. The Finance Agency’s mission is to ensure that the housing GSEs operate in a safe and sound manner so that they serve as a reliable source of liquidity and funding for housing finance and community investment.

On May 31, 2015, the FHLBank of Des Moines and the FHLBank of Seattle completed the merger that was announced on July 31, 2014. The completion of the merger concluded a lengthy process of merging the two FHLBanks, which included board approval, member ratification, and satisfaction of Finance Agency closing conditions. The continuing FHLBank is headquartered in Des Moines with a western regional office in Seattle, and is now the largest FHLBank in the FHLBank System in terms of membership and geography. As a result of this merger, there are now 11 district FHLBanks in the FHLBank System.

Our primary funding source is consolidated obligations issued through the FHLBanks’ Office of Finance. The Office of Finance is a joint office of the FHLBanks that facilitates the issuance and servicing of the consolidated obligations. The Finance Agency and the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury oversee the issuance of FHLBank debt through the Office of Finance. Consolidated obligations are debt instruments that constitute the joint and several obligations of all FHLBanks. Although consolidated obligations are not obligations of, nor guaranteed by, the U.S. government, the capital markets have traditionally considered the FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations as “Federal agency” debt. As a result, the FHLBanks have traditionally had ready access to funding at relatively favorable spreads to U.S. Treasuries. Additional funds are provided by deposits (received from both member and non-member financial institutions), other borrowings, and the issuance of capital stock.

We serve eligible financial institutions in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma (collectively, the Tenth District of the FHLBank System). Initially, members are required to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock based on the member’s total assets. Each member may be required to purchase activity-based capital stock (Class B Common Stock) as it engages in certain business activities with the FHLBank, including advances and Acquired Member Assets (AMA), at levels determined by management with the Board of Director’s approval and within the ranges stipulated in the Capital Stock Plan. Currently, our capital increases when members are required to purchase additional capital stock in the form of Class B Common Stock to support an increase in advance borrowings. In the past, capital stock also increased when members sold additional mortgage loans to us; however, members are no longer required to purchase capital stock for AMA activity (former members previously required to purchase AMA activity-based stock are subject to the prior requirement as long as there are unpaid principal balances outstanding). At our discretion, we may repurchase excess Common Stock if there is a decline in a member’s advances. We believe it is important to manage our business and the associated risks so that we always strive to provide franchise value by maintaining a core mission asset focus and meeting the following objectives: (1) achieve our liquidity, housing finance and community development missions by meeting member credit needs by offering advances, supporting residential mortgage lending through the MPF Program and through other products; (2) repurchase excess capital stock in order to appropriately manage the size of our balance sheet; and (3) pay stable dividends.

Net income decreased$2.0 million, or 7.1 percent, to $26.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $28.6 million for the same period in the prior year. This decrease in net income was driven primarily by increases in compensation and benefits and other operating expense of $1.9 million and a $1.1 million decrease in reversals of the allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans. Net interest income, FHLBank’s largest source of income, increased $0.9 million, or 1.5 percent, for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2014, which partially offset the decline in net income. 

Net income increased $6.8 million, or 13.4 percent, to $57.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $50.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Net income for the six-months ended June 30, 2015 included $7.5 million less in market value losses related to hedging and trading securities than the same period of 2014, which explains much of the increase between the two periods. Net interest income also increased for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, by $3.0 million, or 2.7 percent, which contributed to the increase in net income over the same period. The increases in net interest income for the three- and six-month periods were driven by significant increases in the average balance of advances; however, the impact of the increase was reduced because the increase was in our lowest yielding advance product, our line of credit advances. Line of credit advances are generally funded by our lowest costing debt, our discount notes, which reduced the average cost of borrowings and also positively impacted net interest margin for both periods. Year-to-date increases in compensation and benefits and other operating expenses slightly offset the previously discussed increases in year-to-date net income. Detailed discussion relating to the fluctuations in net interest income, the net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities, and the allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans can be found under this Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results of Operations.”

Total assets increased $8.7 billion, or 23.5 percent, from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015. This increase was due primarily to a $5.0 billion, or 27.2 percent, increase in advances, a $2.1 billion, or 35.2 percent, increase in short-term investments, net of cash, and a $1.5 billion, or 23.7 percent, increase in investment securities. The increase in advances was largely due to an increase in our lowest yielding line of credit advance product. This growth is attributed to the increase in dividend rates (discussed below), which effectively reduces the cost of our advances to the member and increases the member's ability to profitably deploy the funding. We have been actively promoting the impact of our Class B Common Stock dividend on the effective borrowing cost of advances to increase member awareness of the benefit of higher dividends. The benefit of these short-term advances to our members could be reduced in future interest rate environments, which could cause advances to decline. The composition of cash and other short-term investments changed during the quarter due to our greater ability to invest cash in reverse repurchase agreements at the end of the current quarter as a result of policy limit increases and participation in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's overnight reverse repurchase agreement program. The increase in investment securities coincided with the increase in advances and mortgage loans, as growth in core mission assets allows for growth in non-mission assets while maintaining our desired core mission asset ratio (discussed below). Although our investment securities represent non-mission assets, they are utilized to provide liquidity and primary and secondary market support for the U.S. housing securities market.

Total liabilities increased $8.3 billion, or 23.5 percent, from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015. This increase was due to a $7.3 billionincrease in consolidated obligation discount notes and a $1.0 billion increase in consolidated obligation bonds. Our funding mix generally is driven by asset composition; thus, the increase in discount notes for the current period reflects the increase in our line of credit and short-term advances, which are generally funded by discount notes. For additional information, see Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition.”

Return on equity (ROE) was 5.56 percent and 6.30 percent for the current three- and six-month periods, respectively, compared to 7.48 percent and 6.08 percent for the prior year three- and six-month periods, respectively. The growth in advances and associated capital was dilutive to ROE for both periods, but net income increased sufficiently with the decline in the net market value losses related to hedging and trading securities to offset this dilution for the six-month period. 

Dividends paid to members totaled $31.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $18.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The dividend rate for Class A Common Stock remained at 1.00 percent and the dividend rate for Class B Common Stock remained at 6.00 percent for the second quarter of 2015, compared to the prior quarter. Changes in the weighted average dividend rates between the quarters ended June 30, 2015 (5.22 percent) and 2014 (4.22 percent) occurred primarily due to the dividend rate increases during 2014. Other factors impacting the stock class mix and average dividend rates include: (1) a reduction in our activity stock (Class B Common Stock) requirement for advances in the second quarter of 2014; (2) weekly exchanges of excess Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock; and (3) periodic repurchases of excess Class A Common Stock. We changed our management of capital levels during 2014, including a reduction in our activity-based stock purchase requirement (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Capital”under this Item 2), establishing periodic repurchases of excess Class A Common Stock, and increasing our dividend payout ratio among other practices, while maintaining sufficient levels of liquidity to fulfill our mission. 

51

Finance Agency guidance requires that our strategic business plan describes how our business activities will achieve our mission consistent with the Finance Agency’s core mission asset guidance. We intend to manage our balance sheet with an emphasis towards maintaining a core mission assets ratio within the range of 70 to 80 percent during 2015. Our ratio of average advances and average mortgage loans to average consolidated obligations (core mission assets ratio) was 79 percent for the first half of 2015. However, because this ratio is dependent on several variables such as member demand for our advance and mortgage loan products, it is possible that we will be unable to maintain this level throughout 2015. Additional discussion of recent core mission asset guidance can be found under this Item 2 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis - Legislative and Regulatory Developments."

Financial Market Trends

The primary external factors that affect net interest income are market interest rates and the general state of the economy.

During the first half of 2015, the cost of FHLBank consolidated obligations as measured by the spread to comparative U.S. Treasury rates has remained relatively stable, but rates increased sharply in June as a result of positive economic data and increases in German bond yields, which drew some investment away from U.S. Treasuries. Long-term rates declined considerably in the first part of 2015, which caused a decline in mortgage rates around the same time. Long term rates have since rebounded and mortgage rates have responded in kind. The market continues to wait for direction from the FOMC regarding the expected timing of increases in the Federal funds target rate. Economic data, other than employment, has been mixed, which has pushed expectations of a target rate increase to fall or late 2015. However, because the FOMC has largely eliminated forward guidance from its statements, the projected increase date and short-term rates in general will fluctuate with changes in economic data. The FOMC is monitoring the same broad range of economic indicators in its consideration of continued accommodative monetary policy. The FOMC concluded the asset purchase program in October 2014 but is maintaining its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments from its holdings of Agency debt and Agency MBS and of rolling over maturing U.S. Treasury securities at auction. The rates on U.S. Treasuries and Agency MBS are expected to increase once the Federal Reserve is no longer reinvesting those principal payments. We issue debt at a spread above U.S. Treasury securities, so higher interest rates increase the cost of issuing FHLBank consolidated obligations and increase the cost of advances to our members and housing associates. For further discussion see this Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Consolidated Obligations.”

Other factors impacting FHLBank consolidated obligations:

Investors continue to view FHLBank consolidated obligations as carrying a relatively strong credit profile. Historically our strong credit profile has resulted in steady investor demand for FHLBank discount notes and short-term bonds. This has allowed the overall cost to issue short-term consolidated obligations to remain relatively low throughout the first half of 2015, despite a slight increase in cost towards the end of the second quarter due to reluctance by dealers to hold our debt in inventory on the last day of a quarter and the economic factors mentioned above. Several market events continue to have the potential to impact the demand for our consolidated obligations including recent economic concerns over Greece and China, changes in interest rates as the FOMC contemplates increasing short-term interest rates, decline in dealer demand due to regulatory changes, and political gridlock surrounding budget and debt limit deadlines.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make a number of judgments and assumptions that affect our reported results and disclosures. Several of our accounting policies are inherently subject to valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments and are more critical than others in terms of their importance to results. These assumptions and assessments include the following:

• Accounting related to derivatives;

• Fair value determinations;

• Accounting for deferred premium/discount associated with MBS; and

• Determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.

Changes in any of the estimates and assumptions underlying critical accounting policies could have a material effect on our financial statements.

The accounting policies that management believes are the most critical to an understanding of our financial results and condition and require complex management judgment are described under Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our annual report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference herein. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $26.6 million compared to $28.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This decrease was driven by increases in compensation and benefits and other operating expenses of $1.9 million and a $1.1 million decrease in reversals in the allowance for credit losses, partially offset by the increase in net interest income. The increase in compensation and benefits was primarily a result of hiring additional employees, and is expected to continue to increase as we add additional positions over the next several years, although at a much slower pace. Credit quality has continued to improve over the last two years along with increases in property values, although to a lesser degree in 2014. Coupled with these economic factors, we made refinements in our allowance for credit loss methodology in June 2014 and January 2015. Therefore, the change in the reversal in the allowance for credit losses for the three-month periods reflects the timing of those refinements as the reversals are comparable for the six-month periods.

ROE was 5.56 percent and 7.48 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. The decrease in ROE between quarters was due to the increase in average capital that resulted from increased advance utilization combined with the overall decrease in net income. Although advance utilization increased, it had a dilutive impact on ROE because the increase was in our lowest yielding advance product.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $57.7 million compared to $50.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net income was due primarily to fair value fluctuations related to derivatives and hedging activities and an increase in net interest income largely as a result of an increase in advances and a decrease in the total cost of borrowing. The $22.7 million increase in net income from derivatives and hedging activities was partially offset by an increase in losses on trading securities of $15.2 million, resulting in a net increase of $7.5 million to net income. This was due largely to less pronounced fair value declines on interest rate caps during the current period compared to the prior year period offset by declines in fair values of swapped trading investments that were larger than the fair value increases on the interest rate swaps hedging these trading investments, and declines in the fair values of other economic derivatives. Net interest income increased for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, by $3.0 million, or 2.7 percent, which contributed to the increase in net income over the same period. ROE was 6.30 percent and 6.08 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The improvement in ROE for the six month period was primarily due to gains in net income from fair value fluctuations and an increase in net interest income to a smaller extent. However the impact of the increase in net income was diluted by the increase in average capital from increased advance utilization in lower yielding advances.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income, which includes interest earned on advances, mortgage loans, and investments less interest paid on consolidated obligations, deposits, and other borrowings is the primary source of our earnings. Net interest income increased $0.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 and $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior year periods. The increase in net interest income for both periods was due primarily to a $7.5 billion and $6.4 billion increase in the average balance of advances for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the prior year periods (see Tables 5 and 7). The net interest spread and margin declined, however, driven by the growth in advances, as the majority of the increase was in lower yielding products, and a decrease in the yield on mortgage loans. The decreases in net interest spread and margin were partially offset by an overall decrease in the cost of borrowing and also by an increase in the average yield on short-term investments, which is discussed in greater detail below.

54

The average yield on investments, which consists of interest-bearing deposits, Federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell (reverse repurchase agreements), and investment securities decreased 24 basis points, from 1.14 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 to 0.90 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The average yield on investments decreased 21 basis points, from 1.11 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 0.90 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The yields for the three- and six- month periods were impacted by compositional changes in the investment securities portfolio, most notably increases in the average balance of lower yielding instruments and decreases in the average balance of higher yielding MBS as prepayments increased. The average yield and average balance on short-term investments increased between periods due to increased reverse repurchase agreement activity. An increase in policy limits and new counterparty relationships have provided us with more options for utilizing reverse repurchase agreements for overnight investments during 2015.

The average yield on advances decreased 13 basis points, from 0.67 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 to 0.54 percent for the current quarter. The average yield on advances decreased 12 basis points, from 0.68 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 0.56 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in the average yield on advances was due to continued increases in our lowest yielding advance product, our line of credit advances, relative to total advances. The average balance of advances increased $7.5 billion, or 41.9 percent, from the second quarter of 2014 to the same quarter of 2015. Average advances have increased each quarter since the second quarter of 2014 due to our efforts to promote the impact of our Class B Common Stock dividend on the effective borrowing cost of short-term advances to increase member awareness of the benefit of higher dividends.

The average yield on mortgage loans decreased 17 basis points, from 3.38 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 to 3.21 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The average yield on mortgage loans decreased 12 basis points, from 3.41 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 3.29 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in yield was due to an increase in premium amortization as mortgage rates decreased towards the end of 2014 and during the first four months of 2015 and prepayments on higher coupon loans increased (yields on mortgage loans decline as premiums are amortized; amortization accelerates as prepayments increase). The decrease is also a result of purchases of mortgage loans at rates lower than the existing portfolio. We expect declining levels of prepayments and a related deceleration in premium amortization in the last half of 2015 resulting from projected increases in mortgage interest rates, but our average yield on mortgage loans could continue to decline if mortgage interest rates do not fluctuate significantly from current levels.

The average cost of consolidated obligation bonds increased slightly between quarters, from 0.97 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 to 0.99 percent for the current quarter. The average cost of consolidated obligation bonds also increased slightly for the six months ended June 30, 2015, from 0.98 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 0.99 percent for the current six month period. The average cost of discount notes also increased slightly, from 0.07 percent for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2014 to 0.08 percent for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2015. Despite these small increases, the average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 12 basis points for both periods presented due to the increased use of discount notes to fund the increase in short-term assets, while the average balance of consolidated obligation bonds remained relatively flat. We expect the FOMC to begin raising interest rates towards the end of 2015, at which time our debt costs will correspondingly begin to increase. For further discussion of how we use discount notes and bonds, see Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Consolidated Obligations.”

Our net interest spread is impacted by derivative and hedging activities, as the assets and liabilities hedged with derivative instruments designated under fair value hedging relationships are adjusted for changes in fair values, while other assets and liabilities are carried at historical cost. Further, net interest payments or receipts on interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges and the amortization/accretion of hedging activities are recognized as adjustments to the interest income or expense of the hedged asset or liability. However, net interest payments or receipts on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting (economic hedges) flow through net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities instead of net interest income (net interest received/paid on economic derivatives is identified in Tables 9through12 under this Item 2), which distorts yields, especially for trading investments that are swapped to a variable rate.

Net Gain (Loss) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities: The volatility in other income (loss) is driven predominantly by fair value fluctuations on derivative and hedging transactions, which include interest rate swaps, caps, and floors. Net gain (loss) from derivatives and hedging activities is sensitive to several factors, including: (1) the general level of interest rates; (2) the shape of the term structure of interest rates; and (3) implied volatilities of interest rates. The fair value of options, particularly interest rate caps and floors, are also impacted by the time value decay that occurs as the options approach maturity, but this factor represents the normal amortization of the cost of these options and flows through income irrespective of any changes in the other factors impacting the fair value of the options (level of rates, shape of curve, and implied volatility).

As demonstrated in Tables 9through12, the majority of the derivative net gains and losses are related to economic hedges, such as interest rate swaps matched to GSE debentures or MBS classified as trading securities and interest rate caps and floors, which do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under GAAP. Net interest payments or receipts on these economic hedges flow through net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities instead of net interest income, which distorts yields, especially for trading investments that are swapped to variable rates. Net interest received/paid on economic hedges is identified in Tables 9through12. Ineffectiveness on fair value hedges contributes to gains and losses on derivatives, but to a much lesser degree. We generally record net fair value gains on derivatives when the overall level of interest rates rises over the period and record net fair value losses when the overall level of interest rates falls over the period, due to the mix of the economic hedges.

For the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2015, net gains and losses on derivatives and hedging activities increased net income by $14.7 million and $22.7 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014. As noted previously, the changes are primarily attributable to volatility in the fair value of our economic derivatives. The majority of the increases were a result of fair value fluctuations on our interest rate cap portfolio, as a decline in long term interest rates in the first half of 2014 caused a fairly significant decline in the fair value of the interest rate caps for the periods ended June 30, 2014. The decrease for the current period was far less pronounced, as interest rates were higher at the end of the period. In all periods presented, we experienced increases in the fair value of our interest rate swaps matched to GSE debentures as a result of the passage of time as several derivatives approached maturity (reducing the overall loss position of the derivatives) and changes in interest rates for their respective maturities (pay fixed rate swap), but these increases were largely offset by decreases in the fair values of the swapped GSE debentures, which are recorded in net gain (loss) on trading securities. Increases resulting from the interest rate cap portfolio and the interest rate swaps matched to GSE debentures were offset in part by declines in the fair values of other economic derivatives for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015.

While the net interest received (paid) on the associated economic interest rate swap is recorded in net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities, the interest on the underlying hedged items, the GSE debentures or MBS, is recorded in interest income, with any changes in fair value recognized in net gain (loss) on trading securities. See Tables 39 and 40 under Item 3 – “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for additional detail regarding notional and fair value amounts of derivative instruments.

Net Gain (Loss) on Trading Securities: All gains and losses related to trading securities are recorded in other income (loss) as net gain (loss) on trading securities; however, only gains and losses relating to trading securities that are related to economic hedges are included in Tables 9through12. Unrealized gains (losses) fluctuate as the fair value of our trading portfolio fluctuates. There are a number of factors that can impact the fair value of a trading security including the movement in absolute interest rates, changes in credit spreads, the passage of time and changes in price volatility. Table 13 presents the major components of the net gain (loss) on trading securities (in thousands):

The majority of the volatility in the net gain (loss) of our trading portfolio can be attributed to fair value changes on GSE debentures. The largest component of our trading portfolio is comprised of fixed rate GSE debentures, and generally most of the securities are related to economic hedges in the form of interest rate swaps that convert fixed rates to variable rates. The fair values of these GSE debentures are more affected by changes in intermediate interest rates (e.g., two-year to four-year rates) and are swapped to three-month LIBOR. During 2014, interest rates in the one- to three-year range continued to increase, resulting in additional losses on the GSE debentures, but the decrease in GSE credit spreads reduced the magnitude of those losses. A notable increase in intermediate interest rates in June 2015 resulted in additional fair value losses on the GSE debentures for the second quarter of 2015. In addition to interest rates and credit spreads, the value of these securities is affected by time decay. These fixed rate GSE debentures possess coupons which are well above current market rates for similar securities and, therefore, are currently valued at substantial premiums. As these securities approach maturity, their prices will converge to par resulting in a decrease in their current premium price (i.e., time decay). Given that the variable rate GSE debentures re-price monthly, they generally account for a very small portion of the net gain (loss) on trading securities unless current market spreads on these variable rate securities diverge from the spreads at the time of our acquisition of the securities.

Operating Expenses: Operating expenses include compensation and benefits and other operating expenses. The largest component of operating expenses, compensation and benefits, increased by $1.0 million, or 14.8 percent, and 1.9 million, or 13.6 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increases are due primarily to the hiring of additional employees and an increase in the base salaries of existing employees, with a corresponding increase in incentive compensation. We expect continued increases in this expense as we add positions over the next several years, but our pace of hiring is expected to slow.

Non-GAAP Measures: We fulfill our mission by: (1) providing liquidity to our members through the offering of advances to finance housing, economic development and community lending; (2) supporting residential mortgage lending through the MPF Program and purchases of MBS; and (3) providing regional affordable housing programs that create housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income families. In order to effectively accomplish our mission, we must obtain adequate funding amounts at acceptable interest rate levels. We use derivatives as tools to reduce our funding costs and manage interest rate risk and prepayment risk. We also acquire and classify certain investments as trading securities for liquidity and asset-liability management purposes. Although we manage the risks mentioned and utilize these transactions for asset-liability tools, we do not manage the fluctuations in the fair value of our derivatives or trading securities. We are essentially a “hold-to-maturity” investor and transact derivatives only for hedging purposes, even though some derivative hedging relationships do not qualify for hedge accounting under GAAP (referred to as economic hedges) and therefore can add significant volatility to our GAAP net income.

Adjusted income is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management to evaluate the quality of our ongoing earnings. We believe that the presentation of income as measured for management purposes enhances the understanding of our performance by highlighting our underlying results and profitability. By removing volatility created by fair value fluctuations and items such as prepayment fees, we can compare longer-term trends in earnings that might otherwise be indeterminable. Although we calculate our non-GAAP financial measures consistently from period to period using appropriate GAAP components, non-GAAP financial measures are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. These non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by our stakeholders in the evaluation of our performance, but they have inherent limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, adjusted net income decreased by $2.0 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014 (see Table 14). This decrease was due largely to increases in compensation and benefits and other operating expense along with a slight decrease in other operating income. Adjusted income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was relatively flat, as increases in net interest income for the current six month period were mostly offset by increases in compensation and benefits and other operating expense in the same period. Table 14 presents a reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted income (in thousands):

Table 15 presents a comparison of adjusted ROE (a non-GAAP financial measure) to the average overnight Federal funds rate, which we use as a key measure of effective utilization and management of members’ capital. The decrease in adjusted ROE between the three- and six-month comparative periods is mostly a function of increases in average capital for the current periods that resulted from the increase in advances. Adjusted ROE spread for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 is calculated as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

Financial Condition

Overall:Total assets increased $8.7 billion, or 23.5 percent, from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015. This increase was due primarily to a $5.0 billion, or 27.2 percent, increase in advances, a $2.1 billion, or 35.2 percent, increase in short-term investments, net of cash, and a $1.5 billion, or 23.7 percent, increase in investment securities (investments classified as trading or held-to-maturity). The increase in advances was largely due to an increase in short-term advances, which can be attributed to the increase in dividend rates that effectively reduces the cost of our advances to the member and increases the member's ability to profitably deploy the funding. We have been actively promoting the impact of the dividend on the effective borrowing cost of our advances to increase member awareness of the benefit of higher dividends. The benefit of these advances to our members may be reduced in future interest rate environments, which could cause advances to decline. Increases in the balances of total consolidated obligations and total capital between June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 also reflect increased advance utilization.

As a percentage of assets at June 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014, short-term investments and advances increased while cash and mortgage loans decreased, despite a small increase in our mortgage loan portfolio. The composition change between cash and short-term investments reflects our recently approved participation in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's overnight reverse repurchase agreement program and an increase in policy limits for reverse repurchase agreements with other counterparties, which provide more options to invest the influx of cash that frequently occurs on the last day of a reporting period. The concentrations of discount notes and consolidated obligation bonds are generally driven by asset composition; thus, the percentage increase in discount notes and the corresponding percentage decline in consolidated obligation bonds for the current period is the result of an increase in our line of credit product balance and short-term advances, which are generally funded by discount notes.

Advances: Our advance products are developed, as authorized in the Bank Act and in regulations established by the Finance Agency, to meet the specific liquidity and term funding needs of our members. As a wholesale provider of funds, we compete with brokered certificates of deposit and security repurchase agreements. We strive to price our advances relative to our marginal cost of funds while trying to remain competitive with the wholesale funding markets. While there is less competition in the long-term maturities, member demand for advances in these maturities has historically been lower than the demand for advances with short- and medium-term maturities. Nonetheless, long-term advances are also priced at relatively low spreads to our cost of funds.

Advances are one of the primary ways we fulfill our mission of providing liquidity to our members and constituted the largest component of our balance sheet at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The 27.6 percentincrease in advance par value (see Table 18) was due to a significant increase in our line of credit product as well as smaller increases in adjustable rate callable advances and short-term and regular fixed rate advances. The increase in our line of credit product was largely a result of efforts to promote the pricing advantages of advances when taking our dividend payment rates into consideration. The ability of our members to profitably invest advance funding may be reduced in future interest rate environments, which could cause advances to decline. We expect advances as a percent of total assets to continue to increase as part of our core mission asset focus and continued efforts to promote awareness of the benefits of higher dividends (see “Executive Level Overview ”under this Item 2), but we cannot predict member demand for our advance products.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 66.7 percent and 65.0 percent, respectively, of our members carried outstanding advance balances. The overall demand for our advances can typically be attributed to the demand for loans that our depository members are experiencing in their communities and their ability to fund those loans with deposit growth. It is also influenced by our insurance company members’ need for operational liquidity and the ability of both depository and insurance company members to profitably invest advance funding. The growth in advances experienced in the latter half of 2014 and the first half of 2015 is a result of a smaller number of large members increasing short-term advances, including line of credit advances, due to lower effective borrowing costs when considering the increase in the dividend rate. Advances with many members could decline or remain flat until greater levels of funding can be reallocated from short-term liquid assets into higher-yielding loans or assets. If members reduce the volume of their advances, we expect to continue our past practice of repurchasing excess capital stock, when and as requested. In addition, when, and if, member advance demand changes, a few larger members could have a significant impact on the amount of total outstanding advances, much like what occurred during the latter half of 2014 and the first half of 2015.

Rather than match funding long-term, fixed rate, large dollar advances, we elect to swap a significant portion of large dollar advances with longer maturities to short-term indices (one‑ or three‑month LIBOR) to synthetically create adjustable rate advances. When coupled with the volume of our short-term advances, advances that effectively re-price at least every three months represent 86.5 percent and 84.1 percent of our total advance portfolio as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Table 19 presents information on our five largest borrowers (dollar amounts in thousands). If the borrower was not one of our top five borrowers for one of the periods presented, the applicable columns are left blank. We have rights to collateral with an estimated fair value in excess of the book value of these advances and, therefore, do not expect to incur any credit losses on these advances.

MPF Program: The MPF Program is considered an attractive secondary mortgage market alternative for our members, especially the smaller institutions in our district. We participate in the MPF Program through the MPF Provider, a division of FHLBank of Chicago. Under the MPF Program, participating members can sell us conventional and government fixed rate, size-conforming, single-family residential mortgage loans.

The principal amount of new mortgage loans acquired and held on balance sheet from in-district PFIs during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $0.6 billion. These new originations and acquisitions, net of loan payments received, resulted in an increase of 1.3 percent in the outstanding net balance of our mortgage loan portfolio from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015. Net mortgage loans as a percentage of total assets decreased from 16.9 percent as of December 31, 2014 to 13.9 percent as of June 30, 2015. Table 4 presents the amount of interest income on mortgage loans held for portfolio as a percentage of total interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

The primary factors that may influence future growth in mortgage loans held for portfolio include: (1) the number of new and delivering PFIs; (2) the mortgage loan origination volume of current PFIs; (3) refinancing activity; (4) the level of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve; (5) the relative competitiveness of MPF pricing to the prices offered by other buyers of residential mortgage loans; and (6) a PFI's level of excess risk-based capital relative to the required risk-based capital charge associated with the PFI's CE obligations on MPF mortgage loans. In an effort to manage the level of mortgage loans on our books, management has researched and continues to review options that may help manage the overall level of our mortgage loan portfolio. Those options include participating loan volume or selling whole loans to other FHLBanks, members or other investors. As described below, we have pursued participations and, although we may determine to sell whole loans from time to time, we have not identified any specific loans to be sold as of June 30, 2015.

Historically, we have used the MPF Xtra product and mortgage loan participations with another FHLBank to effectively restrict the growth in mortgage loans held for portfolio and provide management with adequate means to control the amount of mortgage loan portfolio volume retained on our balance sheet to maintain our desired asset composition. The MPF Xtra product is a structure where our PFIs sell mortgage loans to FHLBank of Chicago and simultaneously to Fannie Mae. We receive a counterparty fee from FHLBank of Chicago (Fannie Mae seller-servicer) for our PFIs participating in the MPF Xtra product. We discontinued our mortgage loan participations with another FHLBank in the first quarter of 2014 because of lower origination volumes with PFIs, but we continue to consider and develop other options to manage the size of the mortgage loan portfolio while maintaining reliable support of our members’ residential lending programs. During the first quarter of 2015, we received approval from the Finance Agency to offer participation interests in risk-sharing MPF loan pools to member institutions. We are currently in the planning process for operational preparedness for this new activity, which may further enhance our ability to manage the size of our MPF portfolio in the future.

The number of approved PFIs decreased from 281 as of December 31, 2014 to 278 as of June 30, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we purchased loans from 171 PFIs with no one PFI accounting for more than 6.0 percent of the total volume purchased. Although there is no guarantee, we anticipate that the number of PFIs delivering loans will increase during 2015 as other secondary mortgage outlets become less competitive or less available to many of our members. Table 22 presents the outstanding balances of mortgage loans sold to us, net of participations, (dollar amounts in thousands) from our top five PFIs and the percentage of those loans to total mortgage loans outstanding.

Two indications of credit quality are scores provided by Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO^®) and loan-to-value (LTV) ratios. FICO is a widely used credit industry indicator to assess borrower credit quality with scores typically ranging from 300 to 850 with the low end of the scale indicating greater credit risk. The MPF Program requires a minimum FICO score of 620 for all conventional loans. LTV is a primary variable in credit performance. Generally speaking, a higher LTV ratio means greater risk of loss in the event of a default and also means higher loss severity. The weighted average FICO score and LTV recorded at origination for conventional mortgage loans outstanding as of June 30, 2015 was 751 and 73.3 percent, respectively. See Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements under Item 1 for additional information regarding credit quality indicators.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio – The allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans held for portfolio is based on our estimate of probable credit losses inherent in our portfolio as of the Statement of Condition date. The estimate is based on an analysis of our historical loss experience and observed trends in loan delinquencies. During the first quarter of 2015, we modified our technique for calculating the allowance for credit losses in connection with the adoption of Advisory Bulletin 2012-02 (AB 2012-02), Framework for Adversely Classifying Loans, Other Real Estate Owned, and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention, effective January 1, 2015. The adoption of AB 2012-02 is considered a change in estimate; however, it did not have a material impact to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. A delinquent mortgage loan is charged off when the decision of foreclosure or similar alternative such as pursuit of deed-in-lieu has been reported. Additionally, under AB 2012-02, any outstanding loan balance in excess of the fair value of the property, less cost to sell, is classified as "Loss" when the loan is no more than 180 days delinquent, and a charge-off taken during the period identified. Fraudulent loans or borrowers in bankruptcy are also subject to the charge-off provisions of AB 2012-02. In conjunction with the implementation of AB 2012-02, management determined that a life-to-date net gain/loss on a loan transferred to REO, which includes charge-offs on loans considered impaired in compliance with AB 2012-02, would provide a more precise loss severity rate than the previous method of only considering losses from sale of the REO property. With the recent improvements in home prices and overall decrease in our delinquency rate, we believe that our refinement in technique better reflects economic conditions during the reporting period and maintains our allowance for credit losses at a level adequate to absorb probable and estimable credit losses inherent in our portfolio.

The additional decrease in the allowance for credit losses during the current quarter and the decrease in the allowance balance as a percent of UPB as of June 30, 2015 were primarily attributable to improvements in credit quality during the period, increases in property values, and a decline in the historical loss factor. The historical loss factor decreases as larger losses realized in older periods roll off or are offset by gains in more current periods in the historical average calculation. We believe that policies and procedures are in place to effectively manage the credit risk on mortgage loans held in portfolio. See Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements under Item 1 for a summary of the allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans, and delinquency aging and key credit quality indicators for our mortgage loan portfolio.

Investments: Investments are used to provide liquidity and primary and secondary market support for the U.S. housing securities market. Total investments increased 54.3 percent from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015 largely due to an increase in reverse repurchase agreements due to our participation in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's overnight reverse repurchase agreement program and an increase in existing limits for reverse repurchase agreements for other counterparties. To a lesser extent, increases in MBS and certificates of deposit coincided with the increase in advances and mortgage loans, as growth in core mission assets allows for growth in non-mission assets while maintaining our desired core mission assets ratio. At times during 2014, we did not reinvest MBS portfolio prepayments in new MBS because of the focus on our core mission assets ratio as well as our inability to purchase MBS at prices that would generate what we consider to be acceptable spreads. With the increase in our core mission assets, we were able to reinvest MBS prepayments and increase that portfolio during the first half of 2015 at acceptable spreads. Investment securities are generally issued by GSEs and large financial institutions that we consider to be of investment quality. Consistent with Finance Agency guidance, we define investment quality as a security with adequate financial backings so that full and timely payment of principal and interest on such security is expected and there is minimal risk that the timely payment of principal and interest would not occur because of adverse changes in economic and financial conditions during the projected life of the security.

Short-term Investments – Short-term investments, which are used to provide funds to meet the credit needs of our members, maintain liquidity, and meet other financial obligations such as debt servicing, consist primarily of reverse repurchase agreements, interest-bearing deposits, overnight Federal funds sold, term Federal funds sold, certificates of deposit and commercial paper. The Bank Act and Finance Agency regulations and guidelines set liquidity requirements for us, and our board of directors has also adopted additional liquidity policies. In addition, we maintain a contingency liquidity plan in the event of operational disruptions. See “Risk Management – Liquidity Risk Management” under this Item 2 for a discussion of our liquidity management.

Within our portfolio of short-term investments, we face credit risk from unsecured exposures. Our short-term unsecured credit investments have maturities generally ranging between overnight and three months and include the following types:

• Interest-bearing deposits. Unsecured deposits that earn interest.

• Federal funds sold. Unsecured loans of reserve balances at the Federal Reserve Banks between financial institutions that are made on either an overnight or term basis.

• Commercial paper. Unsecured debt issued by corporations, typically for the financing of accounts receivable, inventories, and meeting short-term liabilities.

• Certificates of deposit. Unsecured negotiable promissory notes issued by banks and payable to the bearer at maturity.

The unsecured investment credit exposure presented may not reflect the average or maximum exposure during the period as the balances presented reflect the balances at period end.

¹  Excludes unsecured investment credit exposure to U.S. government, U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities, GSEs and supranational entities and does not include related accrued interest.

We actively monitor our credit exposures and the credit quality of our counterparties, including an assessment of each counterparty’s financial performance, capital adequacy, sovereign support and the current market perceptions of the counterparties. General macro-economic, political and market conditions may also be considered when deciding on unsecured exposure. As a result, we may further limit existing exposures.

Finance Agency regulations: (1) include limits on the amount of unsecured credit an individual FHLBank may extend to a counterparty or to a group of affiliated counterparties; (2) permit us to extend additional unsecured credit for overnight extensions of credit, subject to limitations; and (3) prohibit us from investing in financial instruments issued by non-U.S. entities other than those issued by U.S. branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks. For additional information on our management of unsecured credit exposure, see Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Investments” in our Form 10-K. As of June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all Finance Agency regulations relating to unsecured credit exposure.

We manage our credit risk by conducting pre-purchase credit due diligence and on-going surveillance described previously and generally investing in unsecured investments of highly-rated counterparties. From time to time, we extend unsecured credit to qualified members by investing in overnight Federal funds issued by them. In general, we treat members as any other market participant. However, since they are members and we have more access to specific financial information about our members, we have a lower capital requirement than for non-members, but members must still meet our credit ratings requirements. As of June 30, 2015, all unsecured term investments were rated as investment grade based on NRSROs (see Table 27).

Table 24 presents the amount of our unsecured investment credit exposure (in thousands) by remaining contractual maturity and by the domicile of the counterparty or the domicile of the counterparty’s parent for U.S. branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks as of June 30, 2015. We also mitigate the credit risk on investments by generally investing in investments that have short-term maturities.

¹  Excludes unsecured investment credit exposure to U.S. government, U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities, GSEs and supranational entities and does not include related accrued interest.

Unsecured credit exposure continues to be cautiously placed, with exposure concentrated in the United States, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, and the Nordic countries. In addition, we anticipate continued future investment in reverse repurchase agreements, which are secured investments, and limiting unsecured exposure, especially to foreign financial institutions, as long as the interest rates are comparable. To enhance our liquidity position, we classify our unsecured short-term investment securities in our trading portfolio, which allows us to sell these securities if necessary.

Long-term investments – Our long-term investment portfolio consists primarily of GSE debentures, MBS/ABS, and state housing finance agency securities. Our Risk Management Policy (RMP) restricts the acquisition of investments to highly rated long-term securities. The majority of these long-term securities are Agency MBS/CMOs, which provide an alternative means to promote liquidity in the mortgage finance markets while providing attractive returns. GSE debentures are the other significant investment class that we hold in our long-term investment portfolio. The majority of our unsecured GSE debentures are fixed rate bonds, which are swapped from fixed to variable rates. They provide attractive returns, can serve as excellent collateral (e.g., repurchase agreements and net derivatives exposure), and are generally classified as trading securities and carried at fair value, either to enhance our liquidity position, for asset/liability management purposes, or to provide a fair value offset to the gains or losses on the interest rate swaps tied to these securities. The swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting, which results in the net interest payments or receipts on these economic hedges flowing through net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities instead of net interest income.

According to Finance Agency regulation codified at 12 C.F.R. §1267.3, no additional MBS purchases can be made if the amortized cost of our mortgage securities exceeds 300 percent of our regulatory capital. Further, quarterly increases in holdings of mortgage securities are restricted to no more than 50 percent of regulatory capital. As of June 30, 2015, the amortized cost of our MBS/CMO portfolio represented 295 percent of our regulatory capital. As of June 30, 2015, we held $741.7 million of par value in MBS/CMOs in our trading portfolio for liquidity purposes and to provide additional balance sheet flexibility. The majority of the MBS/CMOs in the trading portfolio are fixed rate GSE securities, which are swapped from fixed to variable rates.

74

Major Security Types – Securities for which we have the ability and intent to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and recorded at carrying value, which is the net total of par, premiums, discounts and credit and non-credit OTTI discounts. We classify certain investments as trading securities and carry them at fair value. Changes in the fair values of these investments are recorded through other income and original premiums/discounts on these investments are not amortized. We do not actively trade any of these securities with the intent of realizing gains; they are held indefinitely and utilized for asset/liability management purposes, including liquidity. Certain investments that we may sell before maturity are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value, although we had no available-for-sale securities as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014. If fixed rate securities are hedged with interest rate swaps, we classify the securities as trading securities so that the changes in fair values of both the derivatives hedging the securities and the trading securities are recorded in other income. Securities acquired as asset/liability management tools to manage duration risk, which are likely to be sold when the duration risk is no longer present, are classified as available-for-sale or trading securities. See Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements under Item 1 to this report for additional information on our different investment classifications including what types of securities are held under each classification. The carrying value of our investments is summarized by security type in Table 25 (in thousands).

Private-label Mortgage-backed and Asset-backed Securities – The carrying value of our portfolio of private-label MBS/ABS is less than one percent of total assets. We classify private-label MBS/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/ABS.

Ninety-seven percent of our private-label MBS/ABS were securitized prior to 2006, and there are no securities in the portfolio issued after April 2006. As a result of this higher quality, well-seasoned portfolio, we have not experienced significant losses in our private-label MBS/ABS portfolio from OTTI. Table 30 presents statistical information for our private-label MBS/ABS by year of securitization and rating (dollar amounts in thousands):

¹  Credit support is defined as the percentage of subordinate tranches and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will absorb losses before the holders of the security will incur losses.

²  Collateral delinquency is based on the sum of loans greater than 60 days delinquent plus loans in foreclosure plus loans in bankruptcy plus REO.

Other-than-temporary Impairment – Based upon our OTTI evaluation process that results in a conclusion as to whether a credit loss exists (present value of our best estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of each individual security), we have concluded that, except for 26 outstanding private-label MBS upon which we have recognized OTTI, there is no evidence of a likely credit loss in our other 90 private-label MBS/ABS; there is no intent to sell, nor is there any requirement to sell; and, thus, there is no OTTI for the remaining private-label MBS that have declined in value.

Table 31 presents a summary of the significant inputs used to evaluate all private-label MBS for OTTI as well as 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 all the private-label MBS investments, except for those securities that are qualitatively evaluated, in each category shown. The classification (prime, Alt-A and subprime) is based on the classification at the time of origination.

We also evaluate other non-mortgage related investment securities, primarily consisting of municipal bonds issued by housing finance authorities, for potential impairment. During the second quarter of 2015, we did not identify any non-MBS/ABS securities as having impairment.

In addition to evaluating all of our private-label MBS/ABS under a base case (or best estimate) scenario for generating expected cash flows, a cash flow analysis is also performed for each security under a more stressful housing price scenario. The more stressful scenario is designed to provide an indication of the sensitivity of our private-label MBS/ABS to the deterioration in housing prices beyond our base case estimates. The stress test scenario and associated results do not represent our current expectations and therefore, should not be construed as a prediction of future results, market conditions or the actual performance of these securities. Rather, the results from the 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 as our best estimate in our OTTI assessment. OTTI related to credit loss under the hypothetical stress test scenario for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 is $0.4 million compared to $0.3 million recorded under the base case scenario.

Deposits: Total deposits remained relatively stable from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015. Deposit products offered primarily include demand and overnight deposits and short-term certificates of deposit. Demand deposit programs are offered primarily to facilitate customer transactions with us, such as cash flows associated with advances and mortgage loan transactions. Overnight deposits provide an alternative short-term investment option to members. The majority of deposits are in overnight or demand accounts that generally re-price daily based upon a market index such as overnight Federal funds. However, because of the extremely low interest rate environment, we have established a current floor of 5 bps on demand deposits and 10 bps on overnight deposits. The level of deposits is driven by member demand for deposit products, which in turn is a function of the liquidity position of members. Factors that influence deposit levels include turnover in member investment and loan portfolios, changes in members’ customer deposit balances, changes in members’ demand for liquidity and our deposit pricing as compared to other short-term market rates. Declines in the level of deposits could occur during 2015 if demand for loans at member institutions increases, if members choose to de-leverage their balance sheets, or if decreases in the general level of liquidity of members should occur. Fluctuations in deposits have little impact on our ability to obtain liquidity. We historically have had stable and ready access to the capital markets through consolidated obligations and can replace any reduction in deposits with similarly or even lower priced borrowings.

Consolidated Obligations: Consolidated obligations are the joint and several debt obligations of the FHLBanks and consist of bonds and discount notes. Consolidated obligations represent the primary source of liabilities we use to fund advances, mortgage loans and investments. As noted under Item 3 – “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” we use debt with a variety of maturities and option characteristics to manage our interest rate risk profile. We make extensive use of derivative transactions, executed in conjunction with specific consolidated obligation debt issues, to synthetically structure funding terms and costs.

Bonds are primarily used to fund longer-term (one year or greater) advances, mortgage loans and investments. To the extent that the bond is funding variable rate assets, we typically either issue a bond that has variable rates matching the asset index or utilize an interest rate swap to change the bond’s characteristics in order to match the asset’s index. Additionally, we sometimes use fixed rate, variable rate or complex consolidated obligation bonds that are swapped or indexed to LIBOR to fund short-term advances and money market investments or as a liquidity risk management tool.

Discount notes are primarily used to fund: (1) shorter-term advances or adjustable rate advances with indices and resets based on our short-term cost of funds; and (2) investments with maturities of three months or less. However, we sometimes use discount notes to fund longer-term assets, including fixed rate assets, variable rate assets, assets swapped to synthetically create variable rate assets, and short-term anticipated cash flows generated by longer-term fixed rate assets.

Total consolidated obligations increased 24.0 percent from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015. Discount notes increased from 41.3 percent of total outstanding consolidated obligations as of December 31, 2014 to 50.3 percent as of June 30, 2015 primarily as a result of the increase in our line of credit product and other short-term advance products, which are generally funded with discount notes (see this Item 2 – “Financial Condition – Advances”).

While we currently have stable access to funding markets, future developments could impact the cost of replacing outstanding debt. Some of these include, but are not limited to, a large increase in call volume, significant increases in advance demand, legislative and regulatory changes, geopolitical events, proposals addressing GSEs, derivative and financial market reform, a decline in investor demand for consolidated obligations, further rating agency downgrades of U.S. Treasury obligations that will in turn impact the rating on FHLBank consolidated obligations and changes in Federal Reserve policies and outlooks.

Derivatives: All derivatives are marked to fair value with any associated accrued interest, and netted by clearing agent by Derivative Clearing Organization (Clearinghouse), or by counterparty and offset by the fair value of any swap cash collateral received or delivered where the legal right of offset has been determined, and included on the Statements of Condition as an asset when there is a net fair value gain or as a liability when there is a net fair value loss. Fair values of our derivatives primarily fluctuate as the Overnight Indexed Swap and LIBOR/Swap interest rate curves fluctuate. Other factors such as implied price/interest rate volatility, the shape of the above interest rate curves and time decay can also drive the market price for derivatives.

We use derivatives in three ways: (1) by designating them as either a fair value or cash flow hedge of an underlying financial instrument, firm commitment or a forecasted transaction; (2) by acting as an intermediary; and (3) in asset/liability management (i.e., economic hedge). Economic hedges are defined as derivatives hedging specific or non-specific underlying assets, liabilities or firm commitments that either do not qualify for hedge accounting or for which we have not elected hedge accounting under GAAP, but are acceptable hedging strategies under our RMP. To meet the hedging needs of our members, we enter into offsetting derivatives, acting as an intermediary between members and other counterparties. This intermediation allows smaller members indirect access to the derivatives market. However, because of increased regulatory requirements with clearing intermediated derivatives we have placed an indefinite moratorium on these intermediated derivative transactions. The derivatives used in intermediary activities do not receive hedge accounting and are separately marked-to-market through earnings (classified as economic hedges).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity: We maintain high levels of liquidity to achieve our mission of serving as an economical funding source for our members and housing associates. As part of fulfilling our mission, we also maintain minimum liquidity requirements in accordance with certain Finance Agency regulations and guidelines and in accordance with policies established by management and the Board of Directors. Our business model enables us to manage the levels of our assets, liabilities, and capital in response to member credit demand, membership composition, and market conditions. As such, assets and liabilities utilized for liquidity purposes can vary significantly in the normal course of business due to the amount and timing of cash flows as a result of these factors.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity – A primary source of our liquidity is the issuance of consolidated obligations. The capital markets traditionally have treated FHLBank obligations as U.S. government agency debt. As a result, even though the U.S. government does not guarantee FHLBank debt, we generally have comparatively stable access to funding at relatively favorable spreads to U.S. Treasury rates. We are primarily and directly liable for our portion of consolidated obligations (i.e., those obligations issued on our behalf). In addition, we are jointly and severally liable with the other FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on the consolidated obligations of all FHLBanks.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, proceeds (net of premiums and discounts) from the issuance of bonds and discount notes were $7.1 billion and $143.0 billion, respectively, compared to $4.7 billion and $23.3 billion for the same period in 2014. The large increase between periods reflects the cumulative effect of using discount notes, primarily overnight discount notes. We use short-term discount notes to fund short-term advances and our short-term liquidity portfolio. The increase in overnight discount note issuance correlated with the increased activity in our overnight investment in Federal funds sold and overnight investment in reverse repurchase agreements. We continued to issue shorter-term discount notes as well as swapped step-up, callable, and term fixed and floating rate consolidated obligation bonds to capture attractive funding, match repricing structures on advances and investments, and provide additional liquidity. Our other sources of liquidity include deposit inflows, repayments of advances and mortgage loans, maturing investments, interest income, and proceeds from reverse repurchase agreements or the sale of unencumbered assets.

At June 30, 2015, our short-term liquidity portfolio, which consists of cash and short-term investments with remaining maturities of one year or less (term and overnight Federal funds sold, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and reverse repurchase agreements), increased $2.7 billion, from $6.1 billion as of December 31, 2014 to $8.8 billion as of June 30, 2015. The increase was due to balance sheet growth, which impacts required levels of liquidity. The composition of cash and short-term investments changed between periods due to greater ability to invest cash in reverse repurchase agreements at the end of the current quarter as a result of participation in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's overnight reverse repurchase agreement program and an increase in existing limits for reverse repurchase agreements for other counterparties. The maturities of our short-term investments are structured to provide periodic cash flows to support our ongoing liquidity needs. To enhance our liquidity position, short-term investment securities (i.e., commercial paper and marketable certificates of deposit) are also classified as trading so that they can be readily sold should liquidity be needed immediately. We also maintain a portfolio of GSE debentures and U.S. Treasury obligations that can be pledged as collateral for financing in the securities repurchase agreement market and are classified as trading to enhance our liquidity position. These debentures remained relatively flat at $1.3 billion in par value as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. In addition to the balance sheet sources of liquidity discussed previously, we have established lines of credit with numerous counterparties in the Federal funds market as well as with the other FHLBanks. Accordingly, we expect to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity for the foreseeable future.

We manage our average capital ratio to remain above our minimum regulatory and RMP requirements so that we have the ability to issue additional consolidated obligations should the need arise. Excess capital capacity ensures we are able to meet the liquidity needs of our members and/or repurchase excess stock either upon the submission of a redemption request by a member or at our discretion for balance sheet or capital management purposes.

Contingency plans are in place that prioritize the allocation of liquidity resources in the event of operational disruptions at the FHLBank or the Office of Finance, as well as systemic Federal Reserve wire transfer system disruptions. Contingency liquidity is defined as the amount sufficient to enable us to meet our liquidity needs for a minimum of five business days of inability to access the capital markets. Further, under the FHLBank Act, the Secretary of Treasury has the authority, at his discretion, to purchase consolidated obligations up to an aggregate amount of $4.0 billion. No borrowings under this authority have been outstanding since 1977. Our net liquidity in excess of contingency liquidity over a cumulative five-business-day period was $9.2 billion as of June 30, 2015.

Uses of liquidity primarily include issuing advances, purchasing investments, and repaying called and maturing consolidated obligations for which we are the primary obligor. We also use liquidity to purchase mortgage loans, repay member deposits, pledge collateral to derivative counterparties, redeem or repurchase capital stock, and pay dividends to members.

83

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, advance disbursements totaled $48.3 billion compared to $24.6 billion for the same period in 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, investment purchases (excluding overnight investments) totaled $4.0 billion compared to $1.1 billion for the same period in 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, payments on consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes were $6.1 billion and $135.7 billion, respectively, compared to $5.4 billion and $22.8 billion for the same period in 2014, which includes bonds that were called during the period. The large increase in payments on discount notes between periods reflects the cumulative effect of using discount notes, including overnight discount notes, to fund the growth in short-term advances and our short-term liquidity portfolio.

Liquidity Requirements – We are subject to five metrics for measuring liquidity: statutory, operational, and contingency liquidity, and calendar day guidelines under two different renewal scenarios. Statutory liquidity requires us to have an amount equal to current deposits received from members invested in obligations of the United States, deposits in eligible banks or trust companies, and advances with a final maturity not exceeding five years. Operational liquidity requires that we maintain liquidity in an amount not less than 20 percent of the sum of our demand and overnight deposits and other overnight borrowings, plus 10 percent of the sum of our term deposits, consolidated obligations, and other borrowings that mature within one year. Contingency liquidity is an amount sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for five business days if we are unable to access the capital markets.

In addition to the liquidity measures described above, we are required by the Finance Agency to meet two daily liquidity standards, each of which assumes that we are unable to access the market for consolidated obligations. The first standard requires us to maintain sufficient funds to meet our obligations for 15 days under a scenario in which it is assumed that members do not renew any maturing advances. The second standard requires us to maintain sufficient funds to meet our obligations for five days under a scenario in which it is assumed that members renew all maturing advances. We have remained in compliance with each of these liquidity requirements throughout 2015. See “Risk Management - Liquidity Risk Management” under this Item 2 for additional discussion on our liquidity requirements.

In order to ensure sufficient liquidity, we generally maintain a relatively longer weighted-average maturity on our consolidated obligation discount notes than the weighted average maturity of short-term investments. The weighted average remaining days to maturity of discount notes outstanding decreased to 35 days as of June 30, 2015 from 45 days as of December 31, 2014. A portion of this decrease was due to a transition in our liquidity ladder by using two-month discount notes instead of three-month discount notes and was also decreased by an increase in our issuance of overnight discount notes in an effort to enhance income. The use of shorter term discount notes correlates with the significant increase in our line of credit advance product. The weighted average remaining maturity of our money market investment portfolio (Federal funds sold, marketable certificates of deposit, commercial paper and reverse repurchase agreements) and non-earning cash left in our Federal Reserve Bank account remained unchanged at 2 days as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 because we primarily held short-term investments with overnight maturities as of those dates. The mismatch of discount notes and our money market investment portfolio decreased from 43 days on December 31, 2014 to 33 days on June 30, 2015. Over time, especially as the yield curve steepens on the short end, maintaining the differential between the weighted average original maturity of discount notes and money market investments will marginally increase our cost of funds and reduce our net interest income.

Capital: Total capital consists of capital stock, retained earnings and AOCI.

Capital stock increased 33.8 percent from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015, primarily due to increased utilization of advances. Under our capital plan, members must purchase additional activity-based stock as they enter into advance transactions with us. The amount required is subject to change within ranges established under our capital plan. On May 5, 2014, the FHLBank reduced its activity-based stock purchase requirement for advances from 5.0 percent to 4.5 percent.

Excess stock represents the amount of stock held by a member in excess of that institution’s minimum stock requirement. Upon reducing the activity-based stock purchase requirement, through a mandated change or through a reduction of advance balances, excess stock is created since the member no longer needs the same level of activity-based capital stock. If our excess stock exceeds 1.0 percent of our assets before or after the payment of a dividend in the form of stock, we would be prohibited by Finance Agency regulation from paying dividends in the form of stock. To manage the amount of excess stock, we repurchase excess Class A Common Stock over FHLBank-established limits held by any individual member as of specific dates throughout the year. In April 2014, we began the practice of repurchasing all outstanding excess Class A Common Stock, generally on a monthly basis. Our current practice of regular weekly exchanges of all excess Class B Common Stock over $50,000 for Class A Common Stock remains in effect.

Under our cooperatively structured capital plan, our capital stock balances should fluctuate along with any growth (increased capital stock balances) or reduction (decreased capital stock balances) in advance balances in future periods. Any repurchase of excess capital stock is at our discretion and subject to statutory and regulatory limitations, including being in compliance with all of our regulatory capital requirements after any such discretionary repurchase.

84

Our activity-based stock purchase requirements are consistent with our cooperative structure; members’ stock ownership requirements and the dollar amount of dividends received generally increases as their activities with us increase. To the extent that a member’s asset-based stock purchase requirement is insufficient to cover the member’s activity-based stock purchase requirement and the member is required to purchase Class B Common Stock, we believe the value of our products and services is enhanced by dividend yields that exceed the return available from other investments with similar terms and credit quality. Factors that affect members’ willingness to enter into activity with us and purchase additional required activity-based stock include, but are not limited to, our dividend rates, the risk-based capital weighting of our capital stock and alternative investment opportunities available to our members. Based on anecdotal evidence (such as member advance activity and discussions with members), we believe that our activity-based stock purchase requirement for advances has not reduced advance activity with our members, although that may not hold true in the future. Table 32 provides a summary of member capital requirements under our current capital plan as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

¹  Class A Common Stock, up to a member’s asset-based stock requirement, will be used to satisfy a member’s activity-based stock requirement before any Class B Common Stock is purchased by the member.

²  Includes mandatorily redeemable capital stock.

³  Advances to housing associates have no activity-based requirements because housing associates cannot own FHLBank stock.

⁴  Non-members are subject to the AMA activity-based stock requirement as long as there are UPBs outstanding, but the requirement is currently zero percent for members.

We are subject to three capital requirements under provisions of the GLB Act, the Finance Agency’s capital structure regulation and our current capital plan: risk-based capital requirement, total capital requirement and leverage capital requirement. We have been in compliance with each of the aforementioned capital rules and requirements at all times since the implementation of our capital plan. See Note 11 of the Notes to Financial Statements under Item 1 for additional information and compliance as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Capital Distributions: Dividends may be paid in cash or capital stock as authorized by our Board of Directors. Quarterly dividends can be paid out of current and previous unrestricted retained earnings, subject to Finance Agency regulation and our capital plan.

Within our capital plan, we have the ability to pay different dividend rates to the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. This differential is implemented through a mechanism referred to as the dividend parity threshold. Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock share in dividends equally up to the dividend parity threshold for a dividend period, then the dividend rate for holders of Class B Common Stock can exceed the rate for holders of Class A Common Stock, but the dividend rate on Class A Common Stock can never exceed the dividend rate on Class B Common Stock. In essence, the dividend parity threshold: (1) serves as a soft floor to holders of Class A Common Stock since we must pay holders of Class A Common Stock the dividend parity threshold rate before paying a higher rate to holders of Class B Common Stock; (2) indicates a potential dividend rate to holders of Class A Common Stock so that they can make decisions as to whether or not to hold excess Class A Common Stock; and (3) provides us with a tool to manage the amount of excess stock through higher or lower dividend rates by varying the desirability of holding excess shares of Class A Common Stock (i.e., the lower the dividend rate on Class A Common Stock, the less desirable it is to hold excess Class A Common Stock).

85

The current dividend parity threshold is equal to the average effective overnight Federal funds rate for a dividend period minus 100 bps. This dividend parity threshold was effective for dividends paid for all of 2014 and 2015 and will continue to be effective until such time as it may be changed by our Board of Directors. With the overnight Federal funds target rate range of 0.0 to 0.25 percent, the dividend parity threshold is effectively floored at zero percent at this time. Under the capital plan, all dividends paid in the form of capital stock must be paid in the form of Class B Common Stock. Table 33 presents the dividend rates per annum paid on capital stock under our capital plan for the periods indicated:

Table 33

¹  Weighted average dividend rates are dividends paid in cash and stock on both classes of stock divided by the average of capital stock eligible for dividends.

We increased the dividend rate to 6.00 percent on Class B Common Stock in the third quarter of 2014, as a result of a change in our capital management practices intended to result in a higher percentage payout of quarterly earnings, slower growth in retained earnings, and increased advance utilization due in no small part to the extremely low all-in cost of advances once the dividend is factored in. We expect to recommend maintaining the current dividend rates on Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock for a considerable time in keeping with the desire to pay out a larger percentage of income than in the past. We caution, however, that market conditions can be unpredictable and adverse changes may result in lower dividend rates in future quarters. While there is no assurance that our Board of Directors will not change the dividend parity threshold in the future, the capital plan requires that we provide members with 90 days notice prior to the end of a dividend period in which a different dividend parity threshold is utilized in the payment of a dividend.

We expect to continue paying dividends primarily in the form of capital stock in 2015, but future dividends may be paid in cash. The payment of cash dividends instead of stock dividends should not have a significant impact from a liquidity perspective, as the subsequent redemption of excess stock created by stock dividends would utilize liquidity resources in the same manner as a cash dividend.

Risk Management

Active risk management continues to be an essential part of our operations and a key determinant of our ability to maintain earnings to return an acceptable dividend to our members and meet retained earnings thresholds. We maintain an enterprise risk management (ERM) program in an effort to enable the identification of all significant risks to the organization and institute the prompt and effective management of any major risk exposures. Our ERM program is a structured and disciplined approach that aligns strategy, processes, people, technology and knowledge with the purpose of identifying, evaluating and managing the uncertainties we face as we create value. It is a continuous process of identifying, prioritizing, assessing and managing inherent enterprise risks (i.e., business, compliance, credit, liquidity, market and operations) before they become realized risk events. See Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management” in our Form 10-K for more information on our ERM program. A separate discussion of market risk is included under Item 3 – “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of this Form 10-Q.

Credit Risk Management: Credit risk is defined as the risk that counterparties to our transactions will not meet their contractual obligations. We manage credit risk by following established policies, evaluating the creditworthiness of our counterparties, and utilizing collateral agreements and settlement netting for derivative transactions where enforceability of the legal right of offset has been determined. The most important step in the management of credit risk is the initial decision to extend credit. Continuous monitoring of counterparties is completed for all areas where we are exposed to credit risk, whether that is through lending, investing or derivative activities.

Lending and AMA Activities – Credit risk with members arises partly as a result of our lending and AMA activities (members’ CE obligations on conventional mortgage loans that we acquire through the MPF Program). We manage our exposure to credit risk on advances, letters of credit, derivatives, and members’ CE obligations on conventional mortgage loans through a combined approach that provides ongoing review of the financial condition of our members coupled with prudent collateralization.

86

As provided in the Bank Act, a member’s investment in our capital stock is held as additional collateral for the member’s advances and other credit obligations (letters of credit, CE obligations, etc.). In addition, we can call for additional collateral or substitute collateral during the life of an advance or other credit obligation to protect our security interest.

Credit risk arising from AMA activities under our MPF Program falls into three categories: (1) the risk of credit losses on the mortgage loans represented in our First Loss Account (FLA) and last loss positions; (2) the risk that a PFI will not perform as promised with respect to its loss position provided through its CE obligations on conventional mortgage loan pools, which are covered by the same collateral arrangements as those described for advances; and (3) the risk that a third-party insurer (obligated under primary mortgage insurance (PMI) or supplemental mortgage insurance (SMI) arrangements) will fail to perform as expected. Should a PMI third-party insurer fail to perform, it would increase our credit risk exposure because our FLA is the next layer to absorb credit losses on conventional mortgage loan pools. Likewise, if an SMI third-party insurer fails to perform, it would increase our credit risk exposure because it would reduce the participating member’s CE obligation loss layer since SMI is purchased by PFIs to cover all or a portion of their CE obligation exposure for mortgage pools. Credit risk exposure to third-party insurers to which we have PMI and/or SMI exposure is monitored on a monthly basis and regularly reported to the Board of Directors. We perform credit analysis of third-party PMI and SMI insurers on at least an annual basis. On a quarterly basis, we review trends that could identify risks with our mortgage loan portfolio, including low FICO scores and high LTV ratios. Based on the credit underwriting standards under the MPF Program and this quarterly review, we have concluded that the mortgage loans we hold would not be considered subprime.

Investments – Our RMP restricts the acquisition of investments to high-quality, short-term money market instruments and highly rated long-term securities. The short-term investment portfolio represents unsecured credit and reverse repurchase agreements. Therefore, counterparty ratings are monitored daily while performance and capital adequacy are monitored on a monthly basis in an effort to mitigate unsecured credit risk on our short-term investments. Collateral valuation and compliance with collateral eligibility and transaction margin requirements are monitored daily to limit secured credit risk on our reverse repurchase agreements. MBS represent the majority of our long-term investments. We hold MBS issued by Ginnie Mae and GSEs, CMOs securitized by GSEs, private-issue MBS/ABS rated triple-A at the time of purchase, and CMOs securitized by whole loans. Approximately 96 percent of our MBS/CMO portfolio is securitized by Fannie Mae or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). All of our private-label MBS/ABS have been downgraded below triple-A subsequent to purchase (see Table 30), but the downgraded securities have been and are currently paying according to contractual agreements with the exception of four securities that have experienced immaterial cash flow shortfalls. The securities we hold that are classified as being backed by subprime mortgage loans are private-label home equity ABS. We also have potential credit risk exposure to MBS/CMOs and ABS that are insured by two of the monoline mortgage insurance companies, one of which is in rehabilitation after having previously entered into bankruptcy proceedings. We analyze these securities quarterly as part of the OTTI determination and assume no coverage potential from this monoline insurance provider. Under the RMP in effect at the time of acquisition, the insurer had to be rated no lower than double-A. We monitor the credit ratings daily, financial performance at least annually and capital adequacy quarterly for all primary mortgage insurers, secondary mortgage insurers and master servicers to which we have potential credit risk exposure. Other long-term investments include unsecured GSE debentures and unsecured or collateralized state and local housing finance agency securities that were rated at least double-A at the time of purchase.

Derivatives – We transact most of our derivatives with large banks and major broker-dealers. Over-the-counter derivative transactions may be either executed with a counterparty (bilateral derivatives) or with an executing broker and cleared through a Futures Commission Merchant (i.e., clearing agent), with a Derivative Clearing Organization (cleared derivatives).

We are subject to credit risk due to the risk of nonperformance by counterparties to our derivative transactions. The amount of credit risk on derivatives depends on the extent to which netting procedures and collateral requirements are used and are effective in mitigating the risk. We manage this risk through credit analysis and collateral management. We are also required to follow the requirements set forth by applicable regulation.

Bilateral Derivatives. We are subject to non-performance by the counterparties to our bilateral derivative transactions. We generally require collateral on bilateral derivative transactions. For some counterparties, the amount of net unsecured credit exposure that is permissible with respect to the counterparty depends on the credit rating of that counterparty. For other counterparties, collateral is required on all net unsecured credit exposure. For a counterparty with credit rating thresholds, a counterparty generally must deliver collateral to us if the total market value of our exposure to that counterparty rises above a specific trigger point. Our credit risk exposure from derivative transactions with member institutions is fully collateralized under our Advance, Pledge and Security Agreement. As a result of these risk mitigation initiatives, we do not anticipate any credit losses on our bilateral derivative transactions as of June 30, 2015.

87

Cleared Derivatives. We are subject to nonperformance by the Clearinghouse(s) and clearing agent(s). The requirement that we post initial and variation margin, through the clearing agent, to the Clearinghouse, exposes us to institutional credit risk in the event that the clearing agent or the Clearinghouse fails to meet its obligations. The use of cleared derivatives is intended to mitigate credit risk exposure because a central counterparty is substituted for individual counterparties and collateral is posted daily for changes in the value of cleared derivatives through a clearing agent. We do not anticipate any credit losses on our cleared derivatives as of June 30, 2015.

We regularly monitor the exposures on our derivative transactions by determining the market value of positions using internal pricing models. The market values generated by the pricing model used to value derivatives are compared to dealer model results on a monthly basis to ensure that our derivative pricing model is reasonably calibrated to actual market pricing methodologies utilized by the dealers. In addition, we have our internal pricing model validated annually by an independent consultant. As a result of these risk mitigation initiatives, management does not anticipate any credit losses on our derivative transactions. See Note 7 of the Notes to Financial Statements under Item 1 for additional information on managing credit risk on derivatives.

The contractual or notional amount of derivative transactions reflects our involvement in the various classes of financial instruments. The maximum credit risk with respect to derivative transactions is the estimated cost of replacing the derivative transactions if there is a default, minus the value of any related collateral posted to satisfy the initial margin (if required) and the variation margin. Our derivative transactions are subject to variation margin which is derived from the change in market value of the transaction and must be posted by the net debtor on demand. Cleared transactions are subject to initial margin as well as variation margin. The initial margin is intended to protect the Clearinghouse against default of a clearing agent and to protect the clearing agent against default of a customer. Initial margin is calculated to cover the potential price volatility of the derivative transaction between the time of the default and the assignment of the transaction to another clearing agent or termination of the transaction. Although the initial margin requirement should decrease over time as the duration and market volatility decrease, it remains outstanding for the life of the transaction; thus, it is possible that we could either have: (1) net credit exposure with a Clearinghouse even if our net creditor position has been fully satisfied by the receipt of variation margin; or (2) net credit exposure with a Clearinghouse despite being the net debtor (i.e., being in a liability position). In determining maximum credit risk, we consider accrued interest receivables and payables as well as the netting requirements to net assets and liabilities.

Tables 34 and 35 present derivative notional amounts and counterparty credit exposure, net of collateral, by whole-letter rating (in the event of a split rating, we use the lowest rating published by Moody's Investor Service or Standard & Poor's) for derivative positions with counterparties to which we had credit exposure (in thousands):

Foreign Counterparty Risk– Loans, acceptances, interest-bearing deposits with other banks, other interest-bearing investments and any other monetary assets payable to us by entities of foreign countries, regardless of the currency in which the claim is denominated are referred to as "cross-border outstandings." Our cross-border outstandings consist primarily of short-term trading securities and Federal funds sold issued by banks and other financial institutions, which are non-sovereign entities, and derivative asset exposure with counterparties that are also non-sovereign entities. Secured reverse repurchase agreements outstanding are excluded from cross-border outstandings because they are fully collateralized.

In addition to credit risk, cross-border outstandings have the risk that, as a result of political or economic conditions in a country, borrowers may be unable to meet their contractual repayment obligations of principal and/or interest when due because of the unavailability of, or restrictions on, foreign exchange needed by borrowers to repay their obligations. Unsecured credit exposure continues to be cautiously placed, with non-derivatives exposure concentrated in the United States, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, and the Nordic countries.

Table 36 presents the fair value of cross-border outstandings to countries in which we do business that amounted to at least one percent of our total assets as of June 30, 2015 (dollar amounts in thousands):

Liquidity Risk Management: Maintaining the ability to meet our obligations as they come due and to meet the credit needs of our members and housing associates in a timely and cost-efficient manner is the primary objective of managing liquidity risk. We seek to be in a position to meet the credit needs of our members, as well as our debt service and liquidity needs, without maintaining excessive holdings of low-yielding liquid investments or being forced to incur unnecessarily high borrowing costs.

Operational liquidity, or the ability to meet operational requirements in the normal course of business, is currently defined in our RMP as sources of cash from both our ongoing access to the capital markets and our holding of liquid assets. We manage exposure to operational liquidity risk by maintaining appropriate daily liquidity levels above the thresholds established by our RMP. We are also required to manage liquidity in order to meet statutory and contingency liquidity requirements and Finance Agency liquidity guidelines by maintaining a daily liquidity level above certain thresholds also outlined in the RMP, federal statutes, Finance Agency regulations and other Finance Agency guidance not issued in the form of regulations. We remained in compliance with each of these liquidity requirements throughout the second quarter of 2015.

We generally maintained stable access to the capital markets for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. For additional discussion of the market for our consolidated obligations and the overall market affecting liquidity see “Financial Market Trends” under this Item 2.

Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require us to post additional collateral with our counterparties if there is deterioration in our credit rating. See Note 7 of the Notes to Financial Statements under Item 1 for additional information on collateral posting requirements and credit-risk-related contingent features. We believe that our liquidity position as of June 30, 2015 was sufficient to satisfy the additional collateral that would be required in the event of a downgrade in our credit rating from double-A to single-A if the downgrade was effective at that time, and such amounts would not have a material impact to our financial condition or results of operations.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments

Finance Agency Core Mission Achievement Advisory Bulletin 2015-05. On July 14, 2015, the Finance Agency issued an advisory bulletin establishing a core mission asset ratio by which the Finance Agency will assess each FHLBank’s core mission achievement. Core mission achievement is determined using a ratio of primary mission assets, which includes advances and mortgage loans acquired from members (also referred to as AMA), to consolidated obligations. The core mission asset ratio will be determined at year-end and calculated using annual average par values.

The advisory bulletin provides the Finance Agency expectations for each FHLBank’s strategic plan based on its ratio, which are:

• when the ratio is 70 percent or higher, the strategic plan should include an assessment of the FHLBank’s prospects for maintaining at least this level;

• when the ratio is between 55 percent and 70 percent, the strategic plan should explain the FHLBank’s plan to increase its mission focus; and

• when the ratio is below 55 percent, the strategic plan should include an explanation of the circumstances that caused the ratio to be at that level and detailed plans to increase the ratio. The advisory bulletin provides that if an FHLBank maintains a ratio below 55 percent over the course of several consecutive reviews, then the FHLBank’s board of directors should consider possible strategic alternatives.

Our core mission activities primarily include the issuance of advances. In addition, we acquire member assets through the MPF Program.We intend to manage our balance sheet with an emphasis towards maintaining a core mission assets ratio within the range of 70 to 80 percent during 2015. However, because this ratio is dependent on several variables such as member demand for our advance and mortgage loan products, it is possible that we will be unable to maintain this level throughout 2015.

Item 3:Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk Management

We measure interest rate risk exposure by various methods, including the calculation of duration of equity (DOE) and market value of equity (MVE) in different interest rate scenarios.

Duration of Equity: DOE aggregates the estimated sensitivity of market value for each of our financial assets and liabilities to changes in interest rates. In essence, DOE indicates the sensitivity of MVE to changes in interest rates. However, MVE should not be considered indicative of our market value as a going concern or our value in a liquidation scenario.

We manage DOE within ranges approved by our Board of Directors as described under Item 7A - "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in the annual report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference herein. All of our DOE measurements were inside Board of Director established policy limits and operating ranges as of June 30, 2015. On an ongoing basis, we actively monitor portfolio relationships and overall DOE dynamics as a part of our evaluation processes for determining acceptable future asset/liability management actions. Table 37 presents the DOE in the base case and the up and down 200 basis point interest rate shock scenarios as of the periods noted:

Table 37

Duration of Equity
Date	Up 200 Basis Points	Base	Down 200 Basis Points
06/30/2015	1.7	0.6	0.2
03/31/2015	1.6	-0.1	1.1
12/31/2014	1.8	-0.9	1.8
09/30/2014	1.3	-0.7	1.4
06/30/2014	2.3	-0.2	1.3

The DOE as of June 30, 2015 increased in the base and the up 200 basis point shock scenarios and decreased in the down 200 basis point shock scenario from March 31, 2015. The primary factors contributing to these changes in duration during the period were: (1) the increase of longer term interest rates and the relative level of mortgage rates during the period; (2) the increase in the fixed rate mortgage loan portfolio during the period along with the reduced weighting of the portfolio as a percent of total assets with the growth in the balance sheet and overall increase in capital levels as advance balances continued to increase; and (3) asset/liability actions taken by management throughout the period, including the continued call and re-issuance of long-term, unswapped callable consolidated obligation bonds with short lock-out periods and the continued issuance of discount notes funding the growth in advances.

91

The increase in longer-term interest rates during the second quarter of 2015 generally resulted in a lengthening duration profile for both the fixed rate mortgage loan portfolio and the associated unswapped callable consolidated obligation bonds funding these assets. With the increase in our mortgage loan portfolio during the period, as discussed in Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – MPF Program,” the portfolio level duration profile changed as expected since a general increase in interest rates typically generates slower prepayments for both new production mortgage loans, as well as the outstanding fixed rate mortgage loan portfolio. Generally, higher interest rates indicate a relative decline in refinancing incentive for borrowers.

Even though the fixed rate mortgage loan portfolio increased in net outstanding balance during the period, the portfolio actually decreased as an overall percentage of assets as the balance sheet expanded, decreasing from 15.6 percent of total assets as of March 31, 2015 to 13.9 percent as of June 30, 2015. Even with this weighting decrease, the mortgage loan portfolio continues to represent a sizable portion of the balance sheet and changes occurring with this portfolio tend to be magnified in terms of DOE. Since the mortgage loan portfolio continues to comprise a considerable percentage of overall assets and has such a high duration relative to other FHLBank assets, its behavior is quite visible in the duration risk profile and changes in this portfolio are typically magnified as the composition of assets change. This magnification occurs when a portfolio market value weighting as a percent of the overall net market value of the balance sheet changes, causing the remaining portfolios to be a smaller or larger component of the total balance sheet composition. For example, during the second quarter of 2015, advance balances increased significantly causing the mortgage loan portfolio weighting to decrease as a total proportion of total assets. This relationship then causes the duration of the mortgage loan portfolio to have a smaller contribution impact to the overall DOE since DOE is a market value weighted measurement and as the capital level increased in response to the growth in advances, the contribution of the mortgage portfolio also declined. Although there was an absolute growth in the mortgage loan portfolio during the period, the mortgage loan portfolio became a smaller percentage of the balance sheet, reducing the mortgage loan portfolio's overall contribution to DOE. However, as stated previously, the mortgage loan portfolio continues to remain a significant portion of the balance sheet and changes in the duration and weighting of the portfolio continues to be a large contributor to the overall DOE profile. With these balance sheet dynamics, we continue to actively manage and monitor the contributing factors of our risk profile, including DOE. As the relationship of the fixed rate mortgage loan assets and the associated callable liabilities vary based on market conditions, we evaluate and manage these market driven sensitivities as both portfolios change in balance level and overall proportion.

New loans were continually added to the mortgage loan portfolio to replace loans that were prepaid during the period and we continue to actively manage this ongoing growth to position the balance sheet sensitivity to perform within our expected risk tolerances. To effectively manage these changes in the mortgage loan portfolio (including new production loans) and related sensitivity to changes in market conditions, a continued issuance of unswapped callable consolidated obligation bonds with short lock-out periods (generally three months) positioned us to replace called bonds as the interest rate environment continued to remain at historically low levels. The call of higher rate callable bonds and reissuance of these bonds at lower interest rates in this manner generally extends the duration profile of this portfolio as bonds are called that are in-the-money (above market rates) and subsequently reissued at lower interest rates (at market rates). This liability extension corresponds with the expected longer duration profile of the new fixed rate mortgage loans, all else being equal.

As discussed above, as longer term interest rates increased during the period and as we continued to experience prepayments of the fixed rate mortgage loan portfolio, the short lock-out periods of the callable bonds plus some maturities of non-callable bonds provided the opportunity to continue the refinancing of our liabilities. The increase in longer term interest rates during the period also caused the duration profile of the existing portfolio of unswapped callable bonds to lengthen. This liability lengthening demonstrates the specific duration sensitivity to changes in interest rates at certain shock scenarios. In addition, issuance of discount notes continued, and actually increased, in order to provide adequate liquidity sources to appropriately address customer short-term advance growth and associated capital stock activity during the period. During the second quarter of 2015, we also began replacing a limited amount of called bonds with term bullet issuances and this limited activity generated only a slight impact on the sensitivity of the down interest rate shock scenarios. The combination of all these factors contributed to the net DOE increase in the base and up 200 interest rate shock scenarios and the net DOE decrease in the down 200 interest rate shock scenario. The down shock scenario continues to provide limited information since interest rates remain at historically low levels. This low interest rate environment essentially generates zero interest rates for the short and mid-term interest rates along the down 200 shocked term structure of interest rates, causing valuation changes to be limited, generating DOE results with marginal information.

92

With respect to the GSE variable rate MBS/CMO portfolio, we generally purchase interest rate caps to offset the impact of embedded caps in this portfolio in rising interest rate scenarios. As expected, these interest rate caps are a satisfactory interest rate risk hedge to rising interest rates and provide an off-setting risk response to the risk profile changes in Agency variable rate MBS/CMOs with embedded caps. We periodically assess derivative strategies to ensure that overall balance sheet risk is appropriately hedged within established risk appetite and make adjustments to the derivative portfolio as needed. This evaluation is completed considering not only the par value of the variable rate MBS/CMO investments with embedded caps being hedged with purchased caps, but the composition of the purchased cap portfolio and expected prepayments of the variable rate MBS/CMO investments with embedded caps. This evaluation of the relative relationship between the variable rate investment portfolio and the purchased cap portfolio continues to indicate a sufficient hedging relationship. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, we purchased $236.1 million of GSE variable rate MBS/CMO securities that consisted of Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing structures. However, we did not purchase additional interest rate caps during the second quarter of 2015 because the investments did not contain interest rate cap exposure.

In calculating DOE, we also calculate our duration gap, which is the difference between the duration of our assets and the duration of our liabilities. Our base duration gap was 0.4 month and -0.1 month for June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. As discussed previously, the relatively stable performance of the duration gap was primarily the result of the changes in the fixed rate mortgage loan portfolio and the associated funding decisions made by management in response to changes in the interest rate environment and balance sheet during the second quarter of 2015. All FHLBanks are required to submit this base duration gap number to the Office of Finance as part of the quarterly reporting process created by the Finance Agency.

Market Value of Equity: MVE is the net value of our assets and liabilities. Estimating sensitivity of MVE to changes in interest rates is another measure of interest rate risk. We generally maintain a MVE within limits specified by the Board of Directors in the RMP. The RMP measures our market value risk in terms of the MVE in relation to total regulatory capital stock outstanding (TRCS). TRCS includes all capital stock outstanding, including stock subject to mandatory redemption. As a cooperative, we believe using the TRCS results in an appropriate measure because it reflects our market value relative to the book value of our capital stock. Our RMP stipulates MVE shall not be less than: (1) 100 percent of TRCS under the base case scenario; or (2) 90 percent of TRCS under a ±200 basis point instantaneous parallel shock in interest rates. Table 38 presents MVE as a percent of TRCS. As of June 30, 2015, all scenarios are well above the specified limits and much of the relative level in the ratios during the periods covered by the table can be attributed to the relative level of the fixed rate mortgage loan market values as rates have continued to remain historically low, the general value impact of the refinancing activities of the associated unswapped callable consolidated obligation bonds and the relative level of outstanding capital.

The MVE to TRCS ratios can be greatly impacted by the level of capital outstanding based on our capital management approach. We lowered our activity-based capital stock requirements for: (1) AMA from 2.0 percent to zero during the third quarter of 2013; and (2) advances from 5.0 percent to 4.5 percent during the second quarter of 2014. After each of these changes, we exercised significant repurchases of excess capital stock and began purchasing excess capital stock on a monthly basis after the 2014 change. Each of these changes coupled with the excess capital stock repurchase inherently increased our ratio of MVE to TRCS as the capital level declined. However, during the third quarter of 2014, as advance balances increased and the associated capital levels increased in response, the ratio declined since the new advances were primarily short-term with market values at or near par. The impact of the changing capital levels continues to be a significant contributor of the recent changes in the ratios in all interest rate scenarios in the table below.

The decrease in the ratios from June 30, 2014 to September 30, 2014 was attributable primarily to an increase in capital stock due to our advance growth during the third quarter and the related capital stock purchase requirement. As members repaid advances late in the fourth quarter of 2014, there was a decrease in required capital stock due to the decrease in advances, which, along with the repurchase of excess capital stock, resulted in an increase in MVE/TRCS ratios in all scenarios at December 31, 2014. Similar to the June 30, 2014 to September 30, 2014 period, the current period of March 31, 2015 to June 30, 2015 experienced growth in advance balances and related capital stock purchases leading to a decline in the MVE/TRCS ratios.

Detail of Derivative Instruments by Type of Instrument by Type of Risk: Various types of derivative instruments are utilized to mitigate the interest rate risks described in the preceding sections as well as to better match the terms of assets and liabilities. We currently employ derivative instruments by designating them as either a fair value or cash flow hedge of an underlying financial instrument or a forecasted transaction; by acting as an intermediary; or in asset/liability management (i.e., an economic hedge). An economic hedge is defined as a derivative hedging specific or non-specific underlying assets, liabilities or firm commitments that either does not qualify for hedge accounting, or for which we have not elected hedge accounting, but is an acceptable hedging strategy under our RMP. For hedging relationships that are not designated for shortcut hedge accounting, we formally assess (both at the hedge’s inception and monthly on an ongoing basis) whether the derivatives used have been highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair values or cash flows of hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain highly effective in future periods. We typically use regression analyses or similar statistical analyses to assess the effectiveness of our long haul hedges. We determine the hedge accounting to be applied when the hedge is entered into by completing detailed documentation, which includes a checklist setting forth criteria that must be met to qualify for hedge accounting.

Tables 39 and 40 present the notional amount and fair value amount (fair value includes net accrued interest receivable or payable on the derivative) for derivative instruments by hedged item, hedging instrument, hedging objective and accounting designation (in thousands):

Item 4:Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Senior management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance in achieving their desired objectives; however, in designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Management, with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), our principal executive officer, and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2015. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2015.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II.OTHER INFORMATION

Recently Issued Accounting Standards And Interpretations And Changes In And Adoptions Of Accounting Principles Recently Issued Accounting Standards And Interpretations And Changes In And Adoptions Of Accounint Priciples (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2015

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amendments to clarify the accounting for cloud computing arrangements. The amendments provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license and how to account for it. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, which is January 1, 2016 for the FHLBank, and early adoption is permitted.  The FHLBank can elect to adopt the amendments either: (1) prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date; or (2) retrospectively. The FHLBank is in the process of evaluating this guidance and its effect on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. In April 2015, FASB issued guidance that requires a reclassification of debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability from other assets to a reduction of the carrying amount of the liability consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs did not change as a result of this amendment. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, which is January 1, 2016 for the FHLBank. The period-specific effects as a result of applying this guidance are required to be adjusted retrospectively to each individual period presented on the statement of condition.The adoption of this amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. In February 2015,FASB issued guidance that impacts reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they must consolidate certain legal entities. Under the amended guidance, in a consolidation evaluation, more emphasis is placed on variable interests other than fee arrangements, such as principal investment risk or guarantees of the value of the assets or liabilities of the variable interest entity. The amendments emphasize risk of loss in the determination of a controlling financial interest and provide a scope exception for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investments Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, which is January 1, 2016 for the FHLBank. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure. In August 2014, FASB issued guidance to change the accounting for government-guaranteed mortgage loans, including Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) loans. The amendments require that a mortgage loan be derecognized and a separate receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if: (1) the loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure; (2) at the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the property to the guarantor and make a claim on that guarantee and the ability to recover under that claim; and (3) at the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim determined on the basis of fair value is fixed. This receivable should be based upon the principal and interest expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The amendments were effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014, which was January 1, 2015 for the FHLBank. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. In June 2014, FASB issued guidance to change the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financings to that of secured borrowings, which is consistent with the accounting for repurchase agreements. The amendments also require two new disclosures: (1) information about transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements; and (2) increased transparency about the types of collateral pledged for repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The amendments were effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, which was January 1, 2015 for the FHLBank. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, FASB issued guidance to introduce a new revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of the new standard by one year, which makes the standard effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (January 1, 2018 for the FHLBank), including interim periods within that reporting period. The FHLBank is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it will have, if any, on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. In January 2014, FASB issued amendments intended to clarify when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of the residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. These amendments clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, when either: (a) the creditor obtains legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure; or (b) 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. The amendments were effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 (January 1, 2015 for the FHLBank), with early adoption permitted. The guidance could be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. The adoption of this amendment was prospective and did not have a material impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying interim financial statements of the FHLBank are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instruction provided by Article 10, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The financial statements contain all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the FHLBank’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.

The FHLBank’s significant accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. The interim financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the FHLBank’s audited financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the FHLBank’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 13, 2015 (annual report on Form 10-K). The notes to the interim financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the annual report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements under GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements in determining the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and estimated fair values and in determining the disclosure of any contingent assets or liabilities. Estimates and assumptions by management also affect the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. The most significant of these estimates include the fair value of trading securities, the fair value of derivatives and the allowance for credit losses. Many of the estimates and assumptions, including those used in financial models, are based on financial market conditions as of the date of the financial statements. Because of the volatility of the financial markets, as well as other factors that affect management estimates, actual results may vary from these estimates.

Significant Inputs for OTTI

For those securities for which an OTTI was determined to have occurred during the quarter endedJune 30, 2015 (that is, securities for which the FHLBank determined that it was more likely than not that the amortized cost basis would not be recovered), Table 3.8 presents a summary of the significant inputs used to measure the amount of credit loss recognized in earnings during this period as well as 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 the FHLBank will experience a loss on the security. The calculated averages represent the dollar-weighted averages of all the private-label MBS/ABS investments in each category shown.Private-label MBS/ABS are classified as prime, Alt-A and subprime based on the originator’s classification at the time of origination or based on classification by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO) upon issuance of the MBS/ABS.

¹  For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, securities previously impaired represent all securities that were impaired prior to April 1, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, securities previously impaired represent all securities that were impaired prior to January 1, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

²  The FHLBank amortizes the credit component based on estimated cash flows prospectively up to the amount of expected principal to be recovered. The discounted cash flows will move from the discounted loss value to the ultimate principal to be written off at the projected date of loss. If the expected cash flows improve, the amount of expected loss decreases which causes a corresponding decrease in the calculated amortization. Based on the level of improvement in the cash flows, the amortization could become a positive adjustment to income.

Commitments And Contingencies

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Joint and Several Liability:As provided by the Bank Act or Finance Agency regulation and as described in Note 9, consolidated obligations are backed only by the financial resources of the FHLBanks. FHLBank Topeka is jointly and severally liable with the other FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on all of the consolidated obligations issued by the FHLBanks. The par amounts for which FHLBank Topeka is jointly and severally liable were approximately $810,124,584,000 and $812,794,196,000 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. To the extent that an FHLBank makes any consolidated obligation payment on behalf of another FHLBank, the paying FHLBank is entitled to reimbursement from the FHLBank with primary liability. However, if the Finance Agency determines that the primary obligor is unable to satisfy its obligations, then the Finance Agency may allocate the outstanding liability among the remaining FHLBanks on a pro rata basis in proportion to each FHLBank’s participation in all consolidated obligations outstanding, or on any other basis that the Finance Agency may determine. No FHLBank has ever failed to make any payment on a consolidated obligation for which it was the primary obligor. As a result, the regulatory provisions for directing other FHLBanks to make payments on behalf of another FHLBank or allocating the liability among other FHLBanks have never been invoked.

The joint and several obligations are mandated by Finance Agency regulations and are not the result of arms-length transactions among the FHLBanks. As described above, the FHLBanks have no control over the amount of the guaranty or the determination of how each FHLBank would perform under the joint and several liability. Because the FHLBanks are subject to the authority of the Finance Agency as it relates to decisions involving the allocation of the joint and several liability for the FHLBank’s consolidated obligations, FHLBank Topeka regularly monitors the financial condition of the other FHLBanks to determine whether it should expect a loss to arise from its joint and several obligations. If the FHLBank were to determine that a loss was probable and the amount of the loss could be reasonably estimated, the FHLBank would charge to income the amount of the expected loss. Based upon the creditworthiness of the other FHLBanks as of June 30, 2015, FHLBank Topeka has concluded that a loss accrual is not necessary at this time.

Off-balance Sheet Commitments: As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, off-balance sheet commitments are presented in Table 14.1 (in thousands):

Commitments to Extend Credit: Standby letters of credit are executed for members for a fee. A standby letter of credit is a short-term financing arrangement between the FHLBank and its member or non-member housing associate. If the FHLBank is required to make payment for a beneficiary’s draw, these amounts are converted into a collateralized advance to the member. As of June 30, 2015, outstanding standby letters of credit had original terms of 1 day to 10 years with a final expiration in 2020. As of December 31, 2014, outstanding standby letters of credit had original terms of 2 days to 10 years with a final expiration in 2020. Unearned fees as well as the value of the guarantees related to standby letters of credit are recorded in other liabilities and amounted to $839,000 and $926,000 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Standby letters of credit are fully collateralized with assets allowed by the FHLBank’s Member Products Policy (MPP). Advance commitments legally bind and unconditionally obligate the FHLBank for additional advances up to 24 months in the future. Based upon management’s credit analysis of members and collateral requirements under the MPP, the FHLBank does not expect to incur any credit losses on the outstanding letters of credit or advance commitments.

Standby Bond-Purchase Agreements: The FHLBank has entered into standby bond purchase agreements with state housing authorities whereby the FHLBank, for a fee, agrees to purchase and hold the authorities’ bonds until the designated marketing agent can find a suitable investor or the housing authority repurchases the bond according to a schedule established by the standby agreement. Each standby agreement dictates the specific terms that would require the FHLBank to purchase the bond. The bond purchase commitments entered into by the FHLBank expire no later than 2018, though some are renewable at the option of the FHLBank. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the total commitments for bond purchases were with two in-district and one out-of-district state housing authorities as well as one participation interest in a standby bond purchase agreement between another FHLBank and a state housing authority in its district. The FHLBank was not required to purchase any bonds under any agreements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Commitments to Purchase Mortgage Loans: These commitments that unconditionally obligate the FHLBank to purchase mortgage loans from participating FHLBank Topeka members in the MPF Program are generally for periods not to exceed 60 calendar days. Certain commitments are recorded as derivatives at their fair values on the Statements of Condition. The FHLBank recorded mortgage delivery commitment net derivative asset (liability) balances of $(244,000) and $138,000 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Commitments to Issue Consolidated Obligations: The FHLBank enters into commitments to issue consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes outstanding in the normal course of its business. All settle within the shortest period possible and are considered regular way trades; thus, the commitments are appropriately not recorded as derivatives.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (Policy)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2015

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying interim financial statements of the FHLBank are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instruction provided by Article 10, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The financial statements contain all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the FHLBank’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.

The FHLBank’s significant accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. The interim financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the FHLBank’s audited financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the FHLBank’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 13, 2015 (annual report on Form 10-K). The notes to the interim financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the annual report on Form 10-K.

Use Of Estimates

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements under GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements in determining the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and estimated fair values and in determining the disclosure of any contingent assets or liabilities. Estimates and assumptions by management also affect the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. The most significant of these estimates include the fair value of trading securities, the fair value of derivatives and the allowance for credit losses. Many of the estimates and assumptions, including those used in financial models, are based on financial market conditions as of the date of the financial statements. Because of the volatility of the financial markets, as well as other factors that affect management estimates, actual results may vary from these estimates.

Consolidated obligation bonds are issued with either fixed rate coupon or variable rate coupon payment terms. Variable rate coupon bonds use a variety of indices for interest rate resets, such as LIBOR and Prime. In addition, to meet the specific needs of certain investors in consolidated obligation bonds, fixed rate and variable rate bonds may contain certain features that may result in complex coupon payment terms and call features. When the FHLBank issues structured bonds that present interest rate or other risks that are unacceptable to the FHLBank, it will simultaneously enter into derivatives containing offsetting features that effectively alter the terms of the complex bonds to the equivalent of simple fixed rate coupon bonds or variable rate coupon bonds tied to indices such as those detailed above.

The FHLBank’s participation in consolidated obligation bonds outstanding as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 includes callable bonds totaling $9,202,500,000 and $9,726,000,000, respectively. The FHLBank uses the unswapped callable bonds for financing its callable fixed rate advances (Note 4), MBS (Note 3) and mortgage loans (Note 5). Contemporaneous with a portion of its fixed rate callable bond issuances, the FHLBank will also enter into interest rate swap agreements (in which the FHLBank generally pays a variable rate and receives a fixed rate) with call features that mirror the options in the callable bonds (a sold callable swap). The combined sold callable swap and callable debt transaction allows the FHLBank to obtain attractively priced variable rate financing. Table 9.2 summarizes the FHLBank’s participation in consolidated obligation bonds outstanding by year of maturity, or by the next call date for callable bonds as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Offsetting [Abstract]

Assets and Liabilities Subject to Offsetting [Text Block]

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO OFFSETTING

The FHLBank presents certain financial instruments, including derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities purchased under agreements to resell, on a net basis by clearing agent by Clearinghouse, or by counterparty, when it has met the netting requirements. For these financial instruments, the FHLBank has elected to offset its asset and liability positions, as well as cash collateral, including initial and variation margin, received or pledged and associated accrued interest.

Tables 10.1 and 10.2 present the fair value of financial assets, including the related collateral received from or pledged to clearing agents or counterparties, based on the terms of the FHLBank’s master netting arrangements or similar agreements as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Consolidated obligations:
Obligation with Joint and Several Liability Arrangement, Description	As provided by the Bank Act or Finance Agency regulation and as described in Note 9, consolidated obligations are backed only by the financial resources of the FHLBanks. FHLBank Topeka is jointly and severally liable with the other FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on all of the consolidated obligations issued by the FHLBanks.
Obligation with Joint and Several Liability Arrangement, Recourse Provision, Description	To the extent that an FHLBank makes any consolidated obligation payment on behalf of another FHLBank, the paying FHLBank is entitled to reimbursement from the FHLBank with primary liability. However, if the Finance Agency determines that the primary obligor is unable to satisfy its obligations, then the Finance Agency may allocate the outstanding liability among the remaining FHLBanks on a pro rata basis in proportion to each FHLBank’s participation in all consolidated obligations outstanding, or on any other basis that the Finance Agency may determine. No FHLBank has ever failed to make any payment on a consolidated obligation for which it was the primary obligor. As a result, the regulatory provisions for directing other FHLBanks to make payments on behalf of another FHLBank or allocating the liability among other FHLBanks have never been invoked.

ADVANCES

General Terms: The FHLBank offers a wide range of fixed and variable rate advance products with different maturities, interest rates, payment characteristics and optionality. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the FHLBank had advances outstanding at interest rates ranging from 0.14 percent to 7.41 percent and 0.11 percent to 8.01 percent, respectively. Table 4.1 presents advances summarized by year of contractual maturity as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

The FHLBank’s advances outstanding include advances that contain call options that may be exercised with or without prepayment fees at the borrower’s discretion on specific dates (call dates) before the stated advance maturities (callable advances). In exchange for receiving the right to call the advance on a predetermined call schedule, the borrower may pay a higher fixed rate for the advance relative to an equivalent maturity, non-callable, fixed rate advance. The borrower normally exercises its call options on these advances when interest rates decline (fixed rate advances) or spreads change (adjustable rate advances). The FHLBank’s advances as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 include callable advances totaling $6,026,534,000 and $4,825,254,000, respectively. Of these callable advances, there were $5,912,178,000 and $4,697,045,000 of variable rate advances as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Convertible advances allow the FHLBank to convert an advance from one interest payment term structure to another. When issuing convertible advances, the FHLBank may purchase put options from a member that allow the FHLBank to convert the fixed rate advance to a variable rate advance at the current market rate or another structure after an agreed-upon lockout period. A convertible advance carries a lower interest rate than a comparable-maturity fixed rate advance without the conversion feature. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the FHLBank had convertible advances outstanding totaling $1,505,142,000 and $1,586,242,000, respectively.

Table 4.2 presents advances summarized by contractual maturity or next call date (for callable advances) and by contractual maturity or next conversion date (for convertible advances) as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Other-than-temporary Impairment: For those securities for which an OTTI was determined to have occurred during the quarter endedJune 30, 2015 (that is, securities for which the FHLBank determined that it was more likely than not that the amortized cost basis would not be recovered), Table 3.8 presents a summary of the significant inputs used to measure the amount of credit loss recognized in earnings during this period as well as 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 the FHLBank will experience a loss on the security. The calculated averages represent the dollar-weighted averages of all the private-label MBS/ABS investments in each category shown.Private-label MBS/ABS are classified as prime, Alt-A and subprime based on the originator’s classification at the time of origination or based on classification by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO) upon issuance of the MBS/ABS.

¹  For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, securities previously impaired represent all securities that were impaired prior to April 1, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, securities previously impaired represent all securities that were impaired prior to January 1, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

²  The FHLBank amortizes the credit component based on estimated cash flows prospectively up to the amount of expected principal to be recovered. The discounted cash flows will move from the discounted loss value to the ultimate principal to be written off at the projected date of loss. If the expected cash flows improve, the amount of expected loss decreases which causes a corresponding decrease in the calculated amortization. Based on the level of improvement in the cash flows, the amortization could become a positive adjustment to income.

As of June 30, 2015, the fair value of a portion of the FHLBank's held-to-maturity MBS portfolio was below the amortized cost of the securities due to interest rate volatility and/or illiquidity. However, the decline in fair value of these securities is considered temporary as the FHLBank expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis on the remaining held-to-maturity securities in unrecognized loss positions and neither intends to sell these securities nor is it more likely than not that the FHLBank will be required to sell these securities before its anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis. For state and local housing agency obligations, the FHLBank determined that all of the gross unrealized losses on these bonds were temporary because the strength of the underlying collateral and credit enhancements was sufficient to protect the FHLBank from losses based on current expectations.

Transactions With Stockholders And Housing Associates

TRANSACTIONS WITH STOCKHOLDERS

The FHLBank is a cooperative whose members own the capital stock of the FHLBank and generally receive dividends on their investments. In addition, certain former members that still have outstanding transactions are also required to maintain their investments in FHLBank capital stock until the transactions mature or are paid off. Nearly all outstanding advances are with current members, and the majority of outstanding mortgage loans held for portfolio were purchased from current or former members. The FHLBank also maintains demand deposit accounts for members primarily to facilitate settlement activities that are directly related to advances and mortgage loan purchases.

Transactions with members are entered into in the ordinary course of business. In instances where members also have officers or directors who are directors of the FHLBank, transactions with those members are subject to the same eligibility and credit criteria, as well as the same terms and conditions, as other transactions with members. For financial reporting and disclosure purposes, the FHLBank defines related parties as FHLBank directors’ financial institutions and members with capital stock investments in excess of 10 percent of the FHLBank’s total regulatory capital stock outstanding, which includes mandatorily redeemable capital stock.

Activity with Members that Exceed a 10 Percent Ownership in FHLBank Capital Stock: Tables 15.1 and 15.2 present information as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 on members that owned more than 10 percent of outstanding FHLBank regulatory capital stock in 2015 or 2014 (dollar amounts in thousands). None of the officers or directors of these members currently serve on the FHLBank’s board of directors.

Direct Financing Lease: During 2002, the FHLBank entered into a 20-year direct financing lease with a member for a building complex and property. Either party has the option to terminate this lease after 15 years. The net investment in the direct financing lease with the member is recorded in other assets. The FHLBank’s $7,896,000 up-front payment for its portion of the building complex is recorded in premises, software and equipment. On October 31, 2005, the FHLBank amended its lease to occupy additional building space, thereby reducing the portion of the property previously leased back to the member and decreasing the member’s future lease payments. All other provisions of the original lease remained in effect. The net reduction in the lease receivable is recorded in premises, software and equipment. On March 31, 2015, the FHLBank provided a Notice of Termination of FHLBank Occupancy (Notice) to the member stating that the FHLBank plans to terminate its occupancy of the space currently occupied by the FHLBank as its headquarters. The Notice reflects the FHLBank’s intent to terminate its occupancy and initiate the sale of its space to the member on March 31, 2018. The 20-year direct financing lease will remain in place for the member's space being leased thereafter. Beginning April 1, 2018, the member's future lease payments will revert back to the initial amount prior to the October 31, 2005 amendment. The direct financing lease has been adjusted accordingly.

See Note 6 for additional information on the direct financing lease.

Capital

CAPITAL

The FHLBank is subject to three capital requirements under the provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act) and the Finance Agency’s capital structure regulation. Regulatory capital does not include accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) but does include mandatorily redeemable capital stock.

• Risk-based capital. The FHLBank must maintain at all times permanent capital in an amount at least equal to the sum of its credit risk, market risk and operations risk capital requirements. The risk-based capital requirements are all calculated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Finance Agency.Only permanent capital, defined as Class B Common Stock and retained earnings, can be used by the FHLBank to satisfy its risk-based capital requirement. The Finance Agency may require the FHLBank to maintain a greater amount of permanent capital than is required by the risk-based capital requirement as defined, but the Finance Agency has not placed any such requirement on the FHLBank to date.

• Total regulatory capital. The GLB Act requires the FHLBank to maintain at all times at least a 4.0 percent total capital-to-asset ratio. Total regulatory capital is defined as the sum of permanent capital, Class A Common Stock, any general loss allowance, if consistent with GAAP and not established for specific assets, and other amounts from sources determined by the Finance Agency as available to absorb losses.

• Leverage capital. The FHLBank is required to maintain at all times a leverage capital-to-assets ratio of at least 5.0 percent, with the leverage capital ratio defined as the sum of permanent capital weighted 1.5 times and non-permanent capital (currently only Class A Common Stock) weighted 1.0 times, divided by total assets.

Table 11.1 illustrates that the FHLBank was in compliance with its regulatory capital requirements as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollar amounts in thousands):

Leverage capital	$	2,275,281		$	2,857,762		$	1,842,699		$	2,301,842

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock: The FHLBank is a cooperative whose members and former members own all of the FHLBank’s capital stock. Member shares cannot be purchased or sold except between the FHLBank and its members at a price equal to the $100 per share par value. If a member cancels its written notice of redemption or notice of withdrawal, the FHLBank will reclassify mandatorily redeemable capital stock from a liability to equity. After the reclassification, dividends on the capital stock would no longer be classified as interest expense.

Table 11.2 provides the related dollar amounts for activities recorded in “Mandatorily redeemable capital stock” during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):

Balance, end of period	$	4,200		$	4,519		$	4,200		$	4,519

Table 11.3 shows the amount of mandatorily redeemable capital stock by contractual year of redemption as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands). The year of redemption in Table 11.3 is the end of the redemption period in accordance with the FHLBank’s capital plan. The FHLBank is not required to redeem or repurchase membership stock until six months (for Class A Common Stock) or five years (for Class B Common Stock) after the FHLBank receives notice for withdrawal. Additionally, the FHLBank is not required to redeem or repurchase activity-based stock until any activity-based stock becomes excess stock as a result of an activity no longer remaining outstanding. However, the FHLBank intends to repurchase the excess activity-based stock of non-members to the extent that it can do so and still meet its regulatory capital requirements.

TOTAL	$	4,200	$	4,187

¹  Represents mandatorily redeemable capital stock that is past the end of the contractual redemption period because there is activity outstanding to which the mandatorily redeemable capital stock relates.

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 purchase requirement. Finance Agency rules limit the ability of the FHLBank to create excess member stock under certain circumstances. For example, the FHLBank may not pay dividends in the form of capital stock or issue new excess stock to members if the FHLBank’s excess stock exceeds one percent of its total assets or if the issuance of excess stock would cause the FHLBank’s excess stock to exceed one percent of its total assets. As of June 30, 2015, the FHLBank’s excess stock was less than one percent of total assets.

Capital Classification Determination:The Finance Agency implemented the prompt corrective action (PCA) provisions of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. The rule established four capital classifications (i.e., adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized) for FHLBanks and implemented the PCA provisions that apply to FHLBanks that are not deemed to be adequately capitalized. The Finance Agency determines each FHLBank’s capital classification on at least a quarterly basis. If an FHLBank is determined to be other than adequately capitalized, the FHLBank becomes subject to additional supervisory authority by the Finance Agency. Before implementing a reclassification, the Director of the Finance Agency is required to provide the FHLBank with written notice of the proposed action and an opportunity to submit a response. As of the most recent review by the Finance Agency, the FHLBank has been classified as adequately capitalized.

The FHLBank carries derivative instruments at fair value on its Statements of Condition. Any change in the fair value of derivatives designated under a fair value hedging relationship is recorded each period in current period earnings. Fair value hedge accounting allows for the offsetting fair value of the hedged risk in the hedged item to also be recorded in current period earnings. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the FHLBank recorded net gain (loss) on derivatives and the related hedged items in fair value hedging relationships and the impact of those derivatives on the FHLBank’s net interest income as presented in Table 7.3 (in thousands):

Based on credit analyses and collateral requirements, FHLBank management does not anticipate any credit losses on its derivative agreements. The maximum credit risk applicable to a single counterparty was $28,714,000 and $31,332,000 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The counterparty was the same each period.

Certain of the FHLBank’s bilateral derivative instruments contain provisions that require the FHLBank to post additional collateral with its counterparties if there is deterioration in the FHLBank’s credit rating. If the FHLBank’s credit rating is lowered by an NRSRO, the FHLBank may be required to deliver additional collateral on bilateral derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all bilateral derivative instruments with derivative counterparties containing credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net derivative liability position (before cash collateral and related accrued interest) as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $38,354,000 and $50,791,000, respectively, for which the FHLBank has posted collateral with a fair value of $7,921,000 and $16,422,000, respectively, in the normal course of business. If the FHLBank’s credit rating had been lowered one level (e.g., from double-A to single-A), the FHLBank would have been required to deliver an additional $18,100,000 and $21,700,000 of collateral to its bilateral derivative counterparties as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

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. The FHLBank was not required to post additional initial margin by its clearing agents as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The FHLBank’s net exposure on derivative agreements is presented in Note 10.

These mortgage loans are government-insured or guaranteed (by the FHA, the VA, the Rural Housing Service of the Department of Agriculture (RHS) and/or the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)) loans and conventional residential loans credit-enhanced by participating financial institutions (PFI). Depending upon a member’s product selection, the servicing rights can be retained or sold by the participating member. The FHLBank does not buy or own any mortgage servicing rights.

Allowance For Credit Losses [Abstract]

Allowance For Credit Losses [Text Block]

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The FHLBank has established an allowance methodology for each of its portfolio segments: credit products (advances, letters of credit and other extensions of credit to borrowers); government mortgage loans held for portfolio; conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio; the direct financing lease receivable; term Federal funds sold; and term securities purchased under agreements to resell.

Credit products: The FHLBank manages its credit exposure to credit products through an integrated approach that generally includes establishing a credit limit for each member, includes an ongoing review of each member’s financial condition and is coupled with conservative collateral/lending policies to limit risk of loss while balancing members’ needs for a reliable source of funding. In addition, the FHLBank lends to its members in accordance with Federal statutes and Finance Agency regulations. Specifically, the FHLBank complies with the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (Bank Act), which requires the FHLBank to obtain sufficient collateral to fully secure credit products. The estimated value of the collateral required to secure each member’s credit products is calculated by applying collateral discounts, or haircuts, to the market value or UPB of the collateral, as applicable. The FHLBank accepts certain investment securities, residential mortgage loans, deposits, and other real estate related assets as collateral. In addition, community financial institutions are eligible to utilize expanded statutory collateral provisions for small business loans, agriculture loans and community development loans. The FHLBank’s capital stock owned by borrowing members is held by the FHLBank as further collateral security for all indebtedness of the member to the FHLBank. Collateral arrangements may vary depending upon member credit quality, financial condition and performance; borrowing capacity; and overall credit exposure to the member. The FHLBank can also require additional or substitute collateral to protect its security interest. FHLBank management believes that these policies are effectively applied to manage the FHLBank’s credit risk from credit products.

Based upon the financial condition of the member, the FHLBank either allows a member to retain physical possession of the collateral assigned to it, or requires the member to specifically assign or place physical possession of the collateral with the FHLBank or its safekeeping agent. The FHLBank perfects its security interest in all pledged collateral. The Bank Act affords any security interest granted to the FHLBank by a member priority over the claims or rights of any other party except for claims or rights of a third party that would be entitled to priority under otherwise applicable law and are held by a bona fide purchaser for value or by a secured party holding a prior perfected security interest.

Using a risk-based approach and taking into consideration each member’s financial strength, the FHLBank considers the type and level of collateral to be the primary indicator of credit quality on its credit products. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the FHLBank had rights to collateral on a member-by-member basis with an estimated value in excess of its outstanding extensions of credit.

The FHLBank continues to evaluate and make changes to its collateral guidelines, as necessary, based on current market conditions. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the FHLBank did not have any advances that were past due, on nonaccrual status or considered impaired. In addition, there have been no troubled debt restructurings related to credit products during 2015 and 2014.

Based upon the collateral held as security, management’s credit extension and collateral policies, management’s credit analysis and the repayment history on credit products, the FHLBank currently does not anticipate any credit losses on its credit products. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the FHLBank has not recorded any allowance for credit losses on credit products, nor has it recorded any liability to reflect an allowance for credit losses for off‑balance sheet credit exposures. For additional information on the FHLBank’s off-balance sheet credit exposure, see Note 14.

Government Mortgage Loans Held For Portfolio: The FHLBank invests in government-guaranteed or insured (by FHA, VA, RHA and/or HUD) fixed rate mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties. The servicer provides and maintains insurance or a guarantee from the applicable government agency. The servicer is responsible for compliance with all government agency requirements and for obtaining the benefit of the applicable insurance or guarantee with respect to defaulted government mortgage loans. Any losses on these loans that are not recovered from the issuer or guarantor are absorbed by the servicers. Therefore, the FHLBank only has credit risk for these loans if the servicer fails to pay for losses not covered by the insurance or guarantee. Based on the FHLBank’s assessment of its servicers, the FHLBank has not established an allowance for credit losses on government mortgage loans. Further as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, none of these mortgage loans have been placed on non-accrual status or were considered impaired because of the U.S. government guarantee or insurance on these loans and the contractual obligation of the loan servicer to repurchase the loans when certain criteria are met.

Conventional Mortgage Loans Held For Portfolio: The allowance for conventional loans is determined by a formula analysis based upon loss factors predominantly calculated using a historical analysis of loan performance. Delinquent loan migration analysis is performed to determine default probability rates, and historical loss analysis is performed to determine loss severity rates, both of which are then utilized as loss factors within the formula analysis. These analyses include consideration of various data observations, such as past performance, current performance, loan portfolio characteristics, collateral-related characteristics, industry data, and prevailing economic conditions. The measurement of the allowance for conventional mortgage loan losses may consist of: (1) reviewing all residential mortgage loans at the individual master commitment level; (2) reviewing specifically identified collateral-dependent loans for impairment; (3) reviewing homogeneous pools of residential mortgage loans; and/or (4) estimating credit losses in the remaining portfolio. The formula analysis is consistently applied, but loss factors may be adjusted in response to changing conditions, as a result of management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio.

During the first quarter of 2015, the FHLBank modified its technique for calculating the allowance for credit losses in connection with the adoption of Advisory Bulletin 2012-02 (AB 2012-02), Framework for Adversely Classifying Loans, Other Real Estate Owned, and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention, effective January 1, 2015. The adoption of AB 2012-02 is considered a change in estimate; however, it did not have a material impact to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. AB 2012-02 establishes a standard methodology for classifying loans, other real estate owned, and certain other assets, excluding investment securities, and prescribes the timing of asset charge-offs based upon these classifications. Management charges off delinquent mortgage loans where the decision of foreclosure or similar alternative such as pursuit of deed-in-lieu has been reported. Additionally, the adoption of AB 2012-02 requires any outstanding loan balance in excess of the fair value of the property, less cost to sell, to be classified as "Loss" when the loan is no more than 180 days delinquent, and a charge-off taken during the period identified. Fraudulent loans or borrowers in bankruptcy are also subject to the charge-off provisions of AB 2012-02. In conjunction with the implementation of AB 2012-02, management determined that a life-to-date net gain/loss on a loan transferred to real estate owned (REO), which includes charge-offs on loans considered impaired in compliance with AB 2012-02, would provide a more precise loss severity rate than the previous method of only considering losses from sale of the REO property. Management believes this change in technique will improve the FHLBank’s estimate of inherent losses in the portfolio.

Collectively Evaluated Mortgage Loans: The credit risk analysis of conventional loans evaluated collectively for impairment considers loan pool specific attribute data, applies estimated loss severities, and incorporates the associated credit enhancements in order to determine the FHLBank’s best estimate of probable incurred losses. Migration analysis is a methodology for determining, through the FHLBank’s experience over a historical period, the rate of default on pools of similar loans. The FHLBank applies migration analysis to loans based on the following categories: (1) loans in foreclosure; (2) nonaccrual loans; (3) delinquent loans; and (4) all other remaining loans. The FHLBank then estimates how many loans in these categories may migrate to a realized loss position and applies a loss severity factor to estimate losses incurred as of the Statement of Condition date.

Individually Evaluated Mortgage Loans:Certain conventional mortgage loans, primarily impaired mortgage loans that are considered collateral-dependent, may be specifically identified for purposes of calculating the allowance for credit losses. A mortgage loan is considered collateral-dependent if repayment is only expected to be provided by the sale of the underlying property, that is, if it is considered likely that the borrower will default and there is not sufficient CE obligation from a PFI to offset all losses under the master commitment. The estimated credit losses on impaired collateral-dependent loans may be separately determined because sufficient information exists to make a reasonable estimate of the inherent loss for these loans on an individual loan basis. The FHLBank estimates the fair value of this collateral by applying an appropriate loss severity rate or using third party estimates or property valuation models. The resulting incurred loss is equal to the difference between the carrying value of the loan and the estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs.

Direct Financing Lease Receivable: The FHLBank has a recorded investment in a direct financing lease receivable with a member for a building complex and property. Under the office complex agreement, the FHLBank has all rights and remedies under the lease agreement as well as all rights and remedies available under the member’s Advance, Pledge and Security Agreement. Consequently, the FHLBank can apply any excess collateral securing credit products to any shortfall in the leasing arrangement. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the direct financing lease receivable was not past due, on nonaccrual status or considered impaired.

Term Federal Funds Sold: These investments are all short-term unsecured loans conducted with investment-grade counterparties and we only evaluate these investments for purposes of an allowance for credit losses if the investment is not paid when due. There were no investments in term Federal funds sold outstanding as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and all such investments acquired during the periods ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were repaid according to their contractual terms.

Term Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell: These investments are considered collateralized financing arrangements and effectively represent short-term loans to investment-grade counterparties. The terms of these loans are structured such that if the market value of the underlying securities decreases below the market value required as collateral, the counterparty must provide additional securities as collateral in an amount equal to the decrease or remit cash in such amount, or the FHLBank will decrease the dollar value of the agreement to resell accordingly. If the FHLBank determines that an agreement to resell is impaired, the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost of the agreement is charged to earnings. There were no investments in term securities purchased under agreements to resell outstanding as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and all such investments acquired during the periods ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were repaid according to their contractual terms.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Values

FAIR VALUES

The fair value amounts recorded on the Statements of Condition and presented in the note disclosures have been determined by the FHLBank using available market and other pertinent information and reflect the FHLBank’s best judgment of appropriate valuation methods. Although the FHLBank uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments, there are inherent limitations in any valuation technique. Therefore, the fair values may not be indicative of the amounts that would have been realized in market transactions as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Subjectivity of Estimates: Estimates of the fair value of advances with options, mortgage instruments, derivatives with embedded options and consolidated obligation bonds with options are highly subjective and require judgments regarding significant matters such as the amount and timing of future cash flows, prepayment speed assumptions, expected interest rate volatility, methods to determine possible distributions of future interest rates used to value options, and the selection of discount rates that appropriately reflect market and credit risks. The use of different assumptions could have a material effect on the fair value estimates.

Fair Value Hierarchy: The FHLBank records trading securities, derivative assets and derivative liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis and on occasion, certain private-label MBS/ABS, impaired mortgage loans held for portfolio and non-financial assets on a non-recurring basis. The fair value hierarchy requires the FHLBank to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The inputs are evaluated and an overall level for the fair value measurement is determined. This overall level is an indication of the market observability of the fair value measurement for the asset or liability. The FHLBank must disclose the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements are classified for all assets and liabilities.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

• Level 1 Inputs –  Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the FHLBank can access on the measurement date.

• Level 2 Inputs –  Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following: (1) quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; (2) quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; (3) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals and implied volatilities); and (4) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

• Level 3 Inputs –  Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The FHLBank reviews its fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of certain assets or liabilities. There were no reclassifications of assets or liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

The carrying value and fair value of the FHLBank’s financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are summarized in Tables 13.1 and 13.2 (in thousands). These values do not represent an estimate of the overall market value of the FHLBank as a going concern, which would take into account future business opportunities and the net profitability of assets and liabilities.

Fair Value Measurements: Tables 13.3 and 13.4 present, for each hierarchy level, the FHLBank’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis on the Statements of Condition as of or for the period ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands). The FHLBank measures certain held-to-maturity securities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis due to the recognition of a credit loss. For held-to-maturity securities that had credit impairment recorded at period end for which no total impairment was recorded (the full amount of additional credit impairment was a reclassification from non-credit impairment previously recorded in AOCI), these securities were recorded at their carrying values and not fair value. The FHLBank measures certain impaired mortgage loans held for portfolio at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when, upon individual evaluation for impairment, the estimated fair value less costs to sell is lower than the carrying amount. For additional information on the valuation of impaired loans, see Note 6. Real estate owned is measured at fair value when the asset’s fair value less costs to sell is lower than its carrying amount.

Allowance For Credit Losses Allowance For Credit Losses (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2015

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Finance, Loan and Lease Receivables, Held-for-investment, Allowance and Nonperforming Loans, Allowance Policy [Policy Text Block]

During the first quarter of 2015, the FHLBank modified its technique for calculating the allowance for credit losses in connection with the adoption of Advisory Bulletin 2012-02 (AB 2012-02), Framework for Adversely Classifying Loans, Other Real Estate Owned, and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention, effective January 1, 2015. The adoption of AB 2012-02 is considered a change in estimate; however, it did not have a material impact to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. AB 2012-02 establishes a standard methodology for classifying loans, other real estate owned, and certain other assets, excluding investment securities, and prescribes the timing of asset charge-offs based upon these classifications. Management charges off delinquent mortgage loans where the decision of foreclosure or similar alternative such as pursuit of deed-in-lieu has been reported. Additionally, the adoption of AB 2012-02 requires any outstanding loan balance in excess of the fair value of the property, less cost to sell, to be classified as "Loss" when the loan is no more than 180 days delinquent, and a charge-off taken during the period identified. Fraudulent loans or borrowers in bankruptcy are also subject to the charge-off provisions of AB 2012-02. In conjunction with the implementation of AB 2012-02, management determined that a life-to-date net gain/loss on a loan transferred to real estate owned (REO), which includes charge-offs on loans considered impaired in compliance with AB 2012-02, would provide a more precise loss severity rate than the previous method of only considering losses from sale of the REO property.

[1] For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, securities previously impaired represent all securities that were impaired prior to April 1, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, securities previously impaired represent all securities that were impaired prior to January 1, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

[2] The FHLBank amortizes the credit component based on estimated cash flows prospectively up to the amount of expected principal to be recovered. The discounted cash flows will move from the discounted loss value to the ultimate principal to be written off at the projected date of loss. If the expected cash flows improve, the amount of expected loss decreases which causes a corresponding decrease in the calculated amortization. Based on the level of improvement in the cash flows, the amortization could become a positive adjustment to income.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]

Recently Issued Accounting Standards And Interpretations And Changes In And Adoptions Of Accounting Principles

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS AND CHANGES IN AND ADOPTIONS OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amendments to clarify the accounting for cloud computing arrangements. The amendments provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license and how to account for it. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, which is January 1, 2016 for the FHLBank, and early adoption is permitted.  The FHLBank can elect to adopt the amendments either: (1) prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date; or (2) retrospectively. The FHLBank is in the process of evaluating this guidance and its effect on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. In April 2015, FASB issued guidance that requires a reclassification of debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability from other assets to a reduction of the carrying amount of the liability consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs did not change as a result of this amendment. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, which is January 1, 2016 for the FHLBank. The period-specific effects as a result of applying this guidance are required to be adjusted retrospectively to each individual period presented on the statement of condition.The adoption of this amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. In February 2015,FASB issued guidance that impacts reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they must consolidate certain legal entities. Under the amended guidance, in a consolidation evaluation, more emphasis is placed on variable interests other than fee arrangements, such as principal investment risk or guarantees of the value of the assets or liabilities of the variable interest entity. The amendments emphasize risk of loss in the determination of a controlling financial interest and provide a scope exception for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investments Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, which is January 1, 2016 for the FHLBank. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to have a material impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure. In August 2014, FASB issued guidance to change the accounting for government-guaranteed mortgage loans, including Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) loans. The amendments require that a mortgage loan be derecognized and a separate receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if: (1) the loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure; (2) at the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the property to the guarantor and make a claim on that guarantee and the ability to recover under that claim; and (3) at the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim determined on the basis of fair value is fixed. This receivable should be based upon the principal and interest expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The amendments were effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014, which was January 1, 2015 for the FHLBank. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. In June 2014, FASB issued guidance to change the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financings to that of secured borrowings, which is consistent with the accounting for repurchase agreements. The amendments also require two new disclosures: (1) information about transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements; and (2) increased transparency about the types of collateral pledged for repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The amendments were effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, which was January 1, 2015 for the FHLBank. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, FASB issued guidance to introduce a new revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of the new standard by one year, which makes the standard effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (January 1, 2018 for the FHLBank), including interim periods within that reporting period. The FHLBank is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it will have, if any, on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. In January 2014, FASB issued amendments intended to clarify when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of the residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. These amendments clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, when either: (a) the creditor obtains legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure; or (b) 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. The amendments were effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 (January 1, 2015 for the FHLBank), with early adoption permitted. The guidance could be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. The adoption of this amendment was prospective and did not have a material impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

[1] The recorded investment in a financing receivable is the UPB, adjusted for accrued interest, net deferred loan fees or costs, unamortized premiums or discounts, fair value hedging adjustments and direct write-downs. The recorded investment is not net of any valuation allowance.

[2] Includes loans where the decision of foreclosure or similar alternative such as pursuit of deed-in-lieu has been reported. Loans in process of foreclosure are included in past due or current loans dependent on their delinquency status.

[3] Loans that are 90 days or more past due or in the process of foreclosure expressed as a percentage of the total recorded investment for the portfolio class.

[4] Loans on non-accrual status include $1,464,000 of troubled debt restructurings. Troubled debt restructurings are restructurings in which the FHLBank, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider.

[5] Loans on non-accrual status include $1,522,000 of troubled debt restructurings. Troubled debt restructurings are restructurings in which the FHLBank, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider.

Description of Related Party Leasing Arrangements			On October 31, 2005, the FHLBank amended its lease to occupy additional building space, thereby reducing the portion of the property previously leased back to the member and decreasing the member’s future lease payments. All other provisions of the original lease remained in effect. The net reduction in the lease receivable is recorded in premises, software and equipment. On March 31, 2015, the FHLBank provided a Notice of Termination of FHLBank Occupancy (Notice) to the member stating that the FHLBank plans to terminate its occupancy of the space currently occupied by the FHLBank as its headquarters. The Notice reflects the FHLBank’s intent to terminate its occupancy and initiate the sale of its space to the member on March 31, 2018. The 20-year direct financing lease will remain in place for the member's space being leased thereafter. Beginning April 1, 2018, the member's future lease payments will revert back to the initial amount prior to the October 31, 2005 amendment. The direct financing lease has been adjusted accordingly.

Hierarchy Level for Financial Assets and Liabilities - Recurring and Nonrecurring

Tables 13.3 and 13.4 present, for each hierarchy level, the FHLBank’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis on the Statements of Condition as of or for the period ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands). The FHLBank measures certain held-to-maturity securities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis due to the recognition of a credit loss. For held-to-maturity securities that had credit impairment recorded at period end for which no total impairment was recorded (the full amount of additional credit impairment was a reclassification from non-credit impairment previously recorded in AOCI), these securities were recorded at their carrying values and not fair value. The FHLBank measures certain impaired mortgage loans held for portfolio at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when, upon individual evaluation for impairment, the estimated fair value less costs to sell is lower than the carrying amount. For additional information on the valuation of impaired loans, see Note 6. Real estate owned is measured at fair value when the asset’s fair value less costs to sell is lower than its carrying amount.
