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


Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

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

Our significant accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2013 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these policies through June 30, 2014.

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

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

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

Financial Instruments Meeting Netting Requirements. We present certain financial instruments, including derivative instruments and securities purchased under agreements to resell, on a net basis when we have a legal right of offset and all other requirements for netting are met (collectively referred to as the netting requirements). For these financial instruments, we have elected to offset our derivative asset and liability positions, as well as cash collateral received or pledged, when we have met the netting requirements. We did not have any offsetting liabilities related to securities purchased under agreements to resell at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Note 2 - Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance

Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. On June 12, 2014, the FASB issued amended guidance for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as repurchase financings. This amendment requires entities to account for repurchase-to-maturity transactions as secured borrowings rather than as sales with forward repurchase agreements. In addition, this guidance requires additional disclosures, particularly on transfers accounted for as sales that are economically similar to repurchase agreements and on the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings. This guidance becomes effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014 and early adoption is prohibited. The changes in accounting for transactions outstanding on the effective date are required to be presented as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance, but its effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is not expected to be material.





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


Revenue from Contracts with Customers. On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued its guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. This guidance outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry specific guidance. In addition, this guidance amends the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer. This guidance applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other standards, such as financial instruments, certain guarantees, insurance contracts, or lease contracts. This guidance becomes effective for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early application is not permitted. The guidance provides the entities with the option of using the following two methods upon adoption: (i) a full retrospective method, retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented; or (ii) a transition method, retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this guidance recognized at the date of initial application. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance, but its effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is not expected to be material.

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

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

Realized Gains and Losses. There were no sales of AFS securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. However, on April 4, 2013, we sold six OTTI AFS securities, only one of which was in an unrealized loss position. Prior to the sale, we recorded an OTTI credit charge for this security, representing the entire difference between our amortized cost basis and its estimated fair value, which resulted in no gross realized losses from this sale.

As of June 30, 2014, we had no intention of selling the AFS securities in an unrealized loss position nor did we consider it more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before our anticipated recovery of each security's remaining amortized cost basis.

Note 5 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

OTTI Evaluation Process and Results - Private-label RMBS and ABS. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate for OTTI our individual AFS and HTM securities that have been previously OTTI or are in an unrealized loss position. A description of the OTTI evaluation process, uniform framework, and the two third-party models we utilize is disclosed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 6 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment in our 2013 Form 10-K.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded an OTTI credit charge of $1,924, representing the entire difference between our amortized cost basis and the estimated fair value, on one security for which we changed our previous intention to hold until recovery of its amortized cost. We did not have any such change in intent during the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or the three months ended June 30, 2013.

As a result of our analysis, additional OTTI credit losses were recognized for one security for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 but not for the three or six months ended June 30, 2013. We determined that the unrealized losses on the remaining private-label RMBS and ABS were temporary as we expect to recover the entire amortized cost.

OTTI - Significant Modeling Assumptions. The FHLBanks' OTTI Governance Committee developed a short-term housing price forecast with projected changes ranging from a decrease of 4% to an increase of 9% over a twelve-month period. For the vast majority of housing markets, the changes range from a decrease of 2% to an increase of 4%.

Previously, home prices following the short-term period were projected to recover using one of five different recovery paths. Starting this quarter, a unique path is projected for each geographic area based on an internally developed framework derived from historical data.
 
 
 
 
 
The following table presents the other significant modeling assumptions used to determine the amount of credit loss recognized in earnings for the one security that was determined to be OTTI during the three months ended June 30, 2014. The related current credit enhancement is also presented. Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches, excess spread, and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before we will experience a loss on the security. A credit enhancement percentage of zero reflects a security that has no remaining credit support and is likely to have experienced an actual principal loss. The calculated averages represent the dollar-weighted averages of the private-label RMBS in each category shown. The classification (prime, Alt-A or subprime) is based on the model used to estimate the cash flows for the security, which may not be the same as the classification by the rating agency at the time of origination.

The following table presents the June 30, 2014 classification and balances of OTTI securities impaired prior to that date (i.e., life-to-date) but not necessarily as of that date. Securities are classified based on the originator's classification at the time of origination or based on the classification by the NRSROs upon issuance. Because there is no universally accepted definition of prime, Alt-A or subprime underwriting standards, such classifications are subjective.

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

Other U.S. and GSE Obligations and TVA Debentures. For other U.S. obligations, GSE obligations, and TVA debentures, we determined that, based on current expectations, the strength of the issuers' guarantees through direct obligations of, or support from, the United States government is sufficient to protect us from any losses. As a result, all of the gross unrealized losses as of June 30, 2014 are considered temporary.

Credit Risk Exposure and Security Terms. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had a total of $6.9 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively, of Advances outstanding, at par, to single borrowers with balances that were greater than or equal to $1.0 billion. These Advances, representing 36% and 31%, respectively, of total Advances at par outstanding on those dates, were made to four and three borrowers, respectively. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we held $14.8 billion and $10.1 billion, respectively, of UPB of collateral to cover the Advances to these borrowers.

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

Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses

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




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


Credit Products. Using a risk-based approach, we consider the amount and quality of the collateral pledged and the borrower's financial condition to be indicators of credit quality on the borrower's credit products. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had rights to collateral on a borrower-by-borrower basis with an estimated value in excess of our outstanding extensions of credit.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we did not have any credit products that were past due, on non-accrual status, or considered impaired. In addition, based upon the collateral held as security, our credit extension and collateral policies, our credit analysis and the repayment history on credit products, we have not recorded any allowance for credit losses on credit products.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no liability was recorded to reflect an allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures. For additional information about off-balance sheet credit exposure, see Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies.

MPF Credit Enhancements. CE Fees paid to PFIs were $101 and $71 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $203 and $117 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Performance-based CE fees may be withheld to cover losses allocated to us.

If losses occur in a master commitment, these losses will either be: (i) recovered through the withholding of future performance-based CE Fees from the PFI or (ii) absorbed by us in the FLA. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our exposure under the FLA was $3,399 and $3,338, respectively, with CE Obligations available to cover losses in excess of the FLA totaling $26,851 and $26,284, respectively. Any estimated losses that would be absorbed by the CE Obligation are not reserved for as part of our allowance for loan losses. Accordingly, the calculated allowance was reduced by $38 and $142 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, for the amount in excess of the FLA to be covered by PFIs’ CE Obligations. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the resulting allowance for MPF loan losses was $250 and $500, respectively.

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

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

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, certain conventional MPP loans classified as TDRs within the previous 12 months experienced a payment default. A borrower is considered to have defaulted on a TDR if the borrower's contractually due principal or interest is 60 days or more past due at any time. The recorded investment of certain conventional MPP loans classified as TDRs within the previous 12 months that experienced a payment default was $0 and $420 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $0 and $1,041 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For purposes of this disclosure, only the initial default was included; however, a loan can experience another payment default in a subsequent period.

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

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

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

For our bilateral derivatives, we have credit support agreements that contain provisions requiring us to post additional collateral with our counterparties if there is deterioration in our credit rating. If our credit rating is lowered by an NRSRO, we could be required to deliver additional collateral on bilateral derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate estimated fair value of all bilateral derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position (before cash collateral and related accrued interest on cash collateral) at June 30, 2014 was $352,012 for which we have posted collateral, including accrued interest, with an estimated fair value of $237,105 in the normal course of business. In addition, we held other derivative instruments in a net liability position of $165 that are not subject to credit support agreements containing credit-risk related contingent features. If our credit rating had been lowered by an NRSRO (from an S&P equivalent of AA+ to AA), we could have been required to deliver up to an additional $7,268 of collateral (at estimated fair value) to our bilateral derivative counterparties at June 30, 2014.

For cleared derivatives, the Clearinghouse determines initial margin requirements, and generally credit ratings are not factored into the initial margin. However, clearing agents may require additional initial margin to be posted based on credit considerations, including but not limited to credit rating downgrades. We were not required to post additional initial margin by our clearing agents at June 30, 2014.

Excess Capital Stock. Excess capital stock is defined as the amount of stock held by a member or former member in excess of that institution's minimum stock requirement. Finance Agency rules limit the ability of an FHLBank to create member excess stock under certain circumstances, including when its total excess stock exceeds 1% of Total Assets or if the issuance of excess stock would cause total excess stock to exceed 1% of Total Assets. Our excess stock totaled $532,732 at June 30, 2014, which was 1.4% of our Total Assets. Therefore, we are currently not permitted to issue new excess stock to members or distribute stock dividends.

Note 15 - Estimated Fair Values

We review the fair value hierarchy classifications of our financial instruments on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the inputs may result in a reclassification of certain assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in/out at estimated fair value as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occur. As described below, we reclassified six AFS securities from Level 3 to Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2013. There were no such reclassifications during the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or the three months ended June 30, 2013.

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

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

Real Estate Owned. At March 31, 2014, the fair value of REO was estimated on a non-recurring basis using a current property value from an NRSRO model adjusted for estimated selling costs and expected PMI proceeds. The estimated fair value did not change at June 30, 2014 and, therefore, is not included as a non-recurring fair value classification in the following table.

Estimated Fair Value Measurements. The following tables present by level within the fair value hierarchy the estimated fair value of our financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at estimated fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis on our Statement of Condition. We did not have any financial assets or liabilities recorded at estimated fair value on a non-recurring basis on our Statement of Condition as of June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

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

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

In 2010, we filed a complaint asserting claims against several entities for negligent misrepresentation and violations of state and federal securities law occurring in connection with the sale of private-label RMBS to us. In March and June of 2014, we executed confidential settlement agreements with certain defendants in this litigation, pursuant to which we have dismissed pending claims against, and provided legal releases to, certain entities with respect to applicable securities at issue in the litigation, in consideration of our receipt of cash payments on behalf of those defendants. These payments, including a supplemental distribution relating to a settlement reached in 2013, totaled $6,134 and $8,548, net of legal fees and litigation expenses, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and were recorded in Other Income.

Additional discussion of other commitments and contingencies is provided in Note 6 - Advances; Note 7 - Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio; Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities; Note 10 - Consolidated Obligations; Note 12 - Capital; and Note 15 - Estimated Fair Values.

Note 17 - Transactions with Related Parties

For financial reporting purposes, we define related parties as those members, and former members and their affiliates, with capital stock outstanding in excess of 10% of our total outstanding Capital Stock and MRCS.

Transactions with Other FHLBanks.

Beginning in July 2012, we pay an MPF Provider fee to the FHLBank of Chicago for our participation in the MPF program that is recorded in Other Expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we paid such fees of $75 and $150, respectively, compared to $54 and $92, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Note 18 - Subsequent Events

In the third quarter of 2014, we executed a confidential settlement agreement with another defendant in our private-label RMBS litigation, pursuant to which we have dismissed pending claims against, and provided legal releases to, certain entities with respect to other applicable securities at issue in the litigation, in consideration of our receipt of a cash payment on behalf of that defendant. This settlement totaled approximately $5,614, net of legal fees and estimated litigation expenses, and will be recorded in Other Income.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Presentation 

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our 2013 Form 10-K and the Financial Statements and related Notes to Financial Statements contained in this Form 10-Q in Item 1. Financial Statements.

As used in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us," "our," and the "Bank" refer to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis or its management. We use certain acronyms and terms throughout this Form 10-Q that are defined in the Glossary of Terms located in Item 1. Financial Statements.

Unless otherwise stated, amounts are rounded to the nearest million; therefore, dollar amounts of less than one million may not be reflected in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and, due to rounding, may not appear to agree to the amounts presented in thousands in the Financial Statements and related Notes to Financial Statements. Amounts used to calculate dollar and percentage changes are based on numbers in the thousands. Accordingly, recalculations based upon the disclosed amounts (millions) may not produce the same results.

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

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

We group our products and services within two business segments:

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

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





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

According to a report issued by S&P on March 19, 2014, risks in the global banking sectors have sharpened in 2014 and are likely to weigh on the financial institutions in a number of ways. Going forward, S&P considers three particular risks to the financial institutions' outlook to be: (i) changing monetary policy and its effects on the economy and financial markets, (ii) the impact of regulatory reforms on business models and risk-taking, and (iii) the potential reduction or removal of government support in some jurisdictions. For example, on April 29, 2014, S&P announced various rating actions on certain European banks reflecting the view that extraordinary government support is likely to diminish as regulators implement resolution frameworks. However, on August 3, 2014, Portugal's central bank announced extraordinary measures to rescue Banco Espirito Santo.

On May 8, 2014, Moody's issued a report that predicted increased growth in the United States economy this year. After a soft period at the start of the year, United States economic activity is set to pick up during 2014 on the back of strong private sector balance sheets, favorable financing conditions, a smaller fiscal drag and strong price competitiveness.  

In its May 2014 forecast, the Center for Econometric Research at Indiana University indicated that employment growth in Indiana during the first quarter of 2014 was lower than national employment growth. During 2013, Indiana’s personal income growth rate also lagged behind the nation's; however, it is anticipated that the rate of both employment and personal income growth will pick up in 2014 and beyond. The forecast for 2014 predicts slightly better employment growth from the manufacturing sector, but much of the employment growth will come from other industries.

On May 29, 2014, the Research Seminar in Quantitative Economics at the University of Michigan predicted job growth in Michigan rebounding in the second quarter of 2014, after a downward tick in the first quarter of 2014, with a solid and sustainable pace of 1.4% to 1.5% in the second half of 2014 through 2015. Personal income growth is expected to be 3.4% in 2014 and 4.7% in 2015.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that Michigan's preliminary unemployment rate was 7.5% for June 2014, while Indiana's preliminary rate was 5.9%, compared to the national rate of 6.1%. According to information provided by Black Knight Financial Services for May, Indiana had a non-current mortgage rate (loans past due 30 days or more) of 9.1%, and Michigan had a non-current mortgage rate of 6.5%, compared to the national rate of 7.5%.

On July 30, 2014, the FOMC reported that growth in economic activity rebounded in the second quarter. Labor market conditions improved, with the unemployment rate declining further. However, a range of labor market indicators suggests that there remains significant underutilization of labor resources. Household spending appears to be rising moderately and business fixed investment is advancing, while the recovery in the housing sector remains slow. Fiscal policy is restraining economic growth, although the extent of restraint is diminishing. Inflation has moved somewhat closer to the FOMC's longer-run objective. Longer-term inflation expectations have remained stable.

The FOMC reaffirmed its view that a highly accommodative stance of monetary policy remains appropriate to support continued progress toward maximum employment and price stability. In determining how long to maintain the current 0% to 0.25% target range for the federal funds rate, the FOMC will assess progress--both realized and expected--toward its objectives of maximum employment and 2% inflation. This assessment will take into account a wide range of information, including measures of labor market conditions, indicators of inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and readings on financial developments. The FOMC continues to anticipate, based on its assessment of these factors, that it likely will be appropriate to maintain the current target range for the federal funds rate for a considerable time after the asset purchase program ends, especially if projected inflation continues to run below its 2% longer-run goal, provided that longer-term inflation expectations remain well anchored. The FOMC stated that when it decides to begin to remove policy accommodation, it will take a balanced approach consistent with its longer-run goals. The FOMC currently anticipates that, even after employment and inflation are near mandate-consistent levels, economic conditions may, for some time, warrant keeping the target federal funds rate below levels the FOMC views as normal in the longer run.





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

During the second quarter of 2014, United States Treasury rates fluctuated within a tight range and volatility was generally low, resulting in a fairly stable environment for debt issuance. Despite continued tapering of asset purchases by the Federal Reserve Board, interest rates have yet to increase significantly as geopolitical events in the Ukraine and the Middle East have driven demand for United States Treasuries. Also, the European Central Bank announced more sweeping monetary policy reforms to help support many struggling European economies.

On July 30, 2014, in light of the cumulative progress toward maximum employment and the improvement in the outlook for labor market conditions since the inception of the current asset purchase program, the FOMC decided to make a further measured reduction in the pace of its asset purchases. Beginning in August 2014, the FOMC will add to its holdings of agency MBS at a pace of $10 billion per month rather than $15 billion per month, and will add to its holdings of longer-term United States Treasury securities at a pace of $15 billion per month rather than $20 billion per month. The FOMC is maintaining its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments from its holdings of agency debt and agency MBS in agency MBS and of rolling over maturing United States Treasury securities at auction. The FOMC's sizable and still-increasing holdings of longer-term securities should maintain downward pressure on longer-term interest rates, support mortgage markets, and help to make broader financial conditions more accommodative, which in turn should promote a stronger economic recovery and help to ensure that inflation, over time, is at the rate most consistent with the Committee's dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability.

(5) 
Annualized. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the annualization was adjusted to remove the impact of net realized gains on sale of AFS securities and litigation settlements, as applicable, related to our private-label RMBS in those periods. Without the adjustment, return on average equity was 5.40%, 5.68%, 13.68% and 12.02%, respectively, and return on average assets was 0.35%, 0.36%, 0.79% and 0.69%, respectively.
(6) 
Calculated by dividing dividends paid in cash during the period by the average of Class B Capital Stock eligible for dividends (i.e., excludes MRCS). The weighted average dividend rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 includes a supplemental dividend of 2.0%.
(7) 
Calculated by dividing dividends paid in cash during the period by Net Income for the period. The three months ended March 31, 2014 includes a supplemental dividend of 2.0%. When calculated by dividing dividends paid in cash during the period by the Net Income for the prior period, the dividend payout ratios for each of the three months ended June 30, 2014, March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, would be 44.32%, 27.65%, 51.48%, 20.58% and 36.07%, respectively.

The decrease in Net Income for the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to lower Other Income and lower Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses. The net decrease in Other Income resulted from a net realized gain on the sale of private-label RMBS in 2013 and lower unrealized gains on derivatives and hedging activities, partially offset by the proceeds from litigation settlements related to certain private-label RMBS in 2014. The decrease in Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses was primarily due to narrower net interest spreads.

The decrease in Net Income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to lower Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses and the net realized gain on the sale of private-label RMBS in 2013, partially offset by the proceeds from litigation settlements related to certain private-label RMBS in 2014. The decrease in Net Interest Income After Provision for Credit Losses was primarily due to narrower net interest spreads.

The increase in Total Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to an increase in unrealized gains on AFS securities and a reclassification of net realized gains from sale of AFS securities to Other Income in 2013.

The increase in Total Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to an increase in unrealized gains on AFS securities and a reclassification of net realized gains from sale of AFS securities to Other Income in 2013, partially offset by lower increases in the fair value of AFS OTTI securities.

The increase in Total Assets at June 30, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013 was primarily due to an increase in Advances resulting from our members' higher funding needs, partially offset by a decrease in Other Assets.

The increase in Total Liabilities at June 30, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013 was primarily due to a net increase in Consolidated Obligations that was attributable to our higher funding needs.

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

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

The decreases in Net Interest Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 were primarily due to narrower net interest spreads on Advances, Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio and investment securities, as well as a decrease in prepayment fees on Advances. Events in the capital and housing markets in the last several years created opportunities for us to generate spreads well above historical levels on certain types of transactions. Despite low costs for our Consolidated Obligations, our net interest spreads have narrowed due to the maturities of investments that were purchased at wider spreads and the diminishing frequency and level of higher-spread investment opportunities due to changes in market conditions.

The decreases in Net Interest Income were partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on MRCS, primarily due to repurchases of excess stock during 2013, and lower average balances of Consolidated Obligations.

Interest income/expense and average yield include all other components of interest, including the impact of net interest payments or receipts on derivatives in qualifying hedge relationships, amortization of hedge accounting adjustments, and prepayment fees on Advances.
(4) 
Consists of Interest-Bearing Deposits, loans to other FHLBanks (if applicable), and grantor trust assets that are carried at estimated fair value. The amounts include the rights or obligations to cash collateral, which are included in the estimated fair value of derivative assets or derivative liabilities on the Statement of Condition.
(5) 
Includes changes in the estimated fair value of AFS Securities and the effect of OTTI-related non-credit losses on AFS and HTM Securities.

Provision for (Reversal of) Credit Losses. The change in the Provision for (Reversal of) Credit Losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to a reversal in 2014 of the provision specific to our MPF portfolio that was recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The reversal was primarily due to an improvement in the estimation technique, which resulted in lower probability rates for defaults.

The change in the Provision for (Reversal of) Credit Losses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to a lower reversal of the portion of the allowance for loan losses on Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio pertaining to unrecoverable amounts from PMI and SMI providers.

The unfavorable change in Other Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013 was primarily due to a net realized gain from the sale of private-label RMBS in 2013 and lower unrealized gains on derivatives and hedging activities, partially offset by the net proceeds from litigation settlements related to certain private-label RMBS in 2014.

Results of OTTI Evaluation Process. The change in OTTI credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013, was due to a relative improvement in the projected performance of the underlying collateral on our private-label RMBS. For additional detail, see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 5 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment.

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

The unfavorable change in Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to fair value hedge ineffectiveness in our qualifying hedging relationships, partially offset by higher net gains on derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting.

Our Net Interest Income and Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities are affected by the inclusion or exclusion of the net interest income/expense associated with derivatives. For example, if a derivative qualifies for fair-value hedge accounting, the net interest income/expense associated with the derivative is included in Net Interest Income along with the net interest income/expense on the hedged item. If a derivative does not qualify for fair-value hedge accounting or if we have not designated it in such a qualifying hedge relationship, the net interest income/expense associated with the derivative is recorded in Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities.





In the first quarter of 2013, we discontinued hedge accounting for 18 derivatives hedging Advances and CO Bonds. All of those derivatives matured or were called by December 31, 2013. However, certain other derivatives have either failed effectiveness at trade date or at a subsequent valuation date. As a result, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, net interest income of $2.7 million and $5.4 million, respectively, was recorded in Other Income (Loss) instead of Net Interest Income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, net interest expense of $1.0 million and $4.3 million, respectively, was recorded in Other Income (Loss) instead of Net Interest Income.

We continue to carry these derivatives that have failed effectiveness at their estimated fair values and recognize the net interest settlements and changes in the estimated fair value in Other Income (Loss) with no offsetting estimated fair value adjustments for the hedged items. The change in estimated fair value of these derivatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was a gain of $4.4 million and $5.8 million, respectively, compared to a gain of $1.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. In addition, when hedge accounting is discontinued, we cease adjusting the hedged item's basis for changes in estimated fair value and begin amortizing/accreting the frozen basis adjustment such that the yield on the instrument remains constant (or level). This amortization/accretion is included in Net Interest Income. As a result, the related amortization of the frozen basis adjustments for these discontinued hedges decreased Net Interest Income by $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and $2.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The overall impact of the discontinuance of hedge accounting on Net Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was favorable compared to a less favorable impact for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Other. The increase in Other was due to litigation settlements, net of legal fees and litigation expenses, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, of $6.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively, related to certain private-label RMBS. In 2010, we filed a complaint, asserting claims against several entities for negligent misrepresentation and violations of state and federal securities law occurring in connection with the sale of private-label RMBS to us. We executed confidential settlement agreements with certain defendants in this litigation, pursuant to which we have dismissed pending claims against, and provided legal releases to, certain entities with respect to applicable securities at issue in the litigation, in consideration of our receipt of cash payments on behalf of those defendants. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies and Part II. Other Information, Item 1. Legal Proceedings for additional information.

Total Other Comprehensive Income. Total Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $9.1 million and $25.5 million, respectively, compared to $(38.7) million and $14.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

Total Other Comprehensive Income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 consisted primarily of unrealized gains on OTTI AFS securities. Total Other Comprehensive Income for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 consisted primarily of unrealized losses on AFS securities as well as a reclassification of the net realized gains from the sale of private-label RMBS to Other Income, partially offset by net recoveries of the fair values of OTTI AFS securities.

Total Other Comprehensive Income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 consisted primarily of unrealized gains on AFS securities, including OTTI AFS securities. Total Other Comprehensive Income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 consisted primarily of net recoveries of the fair values of OTTI AFS securities, partially offset by a reclassification of the net realized gains from the sale of private-label RMBS to Other Income and unrealized losses on AFS securities.

The decrease in Net Income for the Traditional business segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013 was primarily due to (i) a decrease in Net Interest Income, resulting from narrower net interest spreads and lower prepayment fees on Advances, and (ii) a decrease in Other Income (Loss), resulting from a net realized gain on the sale of private-label RMBS in 2013 and lower unrealized gains on derivatives and hedging activities, partially offset by the net proceeds from litigation settlements related to certain private-label RMBS in 2014.





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

The decrease in Net Income for the Mortgage Loans business segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to lower Net Interest Income resulting from narrower spreads.

The decrease in Net Income for the Mortgage Loans business segment for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily due to lower Net Interest Income resulting from narrower spreads and a lower reversal of a portion of the Provision for Credit Losses.

Includes Accrued Interest Receivable, Premises, Software and Equipment, Derivative Assets and Other Assets. Premises, Software and Equipment includes capitalized assets in progress of $21.2 million at June 30, 2014, which are substantially due to our multi-year, enterprise-wide initiative to replace and upgrade our core banking system.

Total Assets were $39.1 billion as of June 30, 2014, a net increase of $1.3 billion or 3% compared to December 31, 2013. This increase was primarily due to an increase in Advances.
 




Advances. In general, Advances fluctuate in accordance with our members' funding needs related to their deposit levels, mortgage pipelines, investment opportunities, available collateral, other balance sheet strategies, and the cost of alternative funding opportunities. Advances at carrying value totaled $19.2 billion at June 30, 2014, a net increase of 11% compared to December 31, 2013. This increase was primarily due to our members' higher funding needs and included an increase of 18% to depository institutions and 7% to insurance companies. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 6 - Advances for more information. The table below presents Advances by type of financial institution ($ amounts in millions).

The increase in the UPB of Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio was due to an increase in mortgage loans purchased under MPP Advantage, which we have offered since 2010 for new conventional MPP loans. Upon implementation of MPP Advantage, the original MPP was phased out and is no longer being used for acquisitions of new conventional loans. Over time, the outstanding balance of mortgage loans purchased under our original MPP will continue to decrease.

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

We have established and maintain an allowance for loan losses based on our best estimate of probable losses over the loss emergence period. Our estimate of MPP losses remaining after borrower's equity was $25.0 million at June 30, 2014 and $31.5 million at December 31, 2013. This decrease from December 31, 2013 to June 30, 2014 was primarily the result of a reduction in the number of delinquent mortgage loans as well as a reduction in potential claims by servicers on principal previously paid in full.





After we considered the portion recoverable under the associated credit enhancements, we established an allowance for MPP loan losses of $3.0 million at June 30, 2014 and $4.0 million at December 31, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the estimated amounts deemed unrecoverable from our PMI and SMI providers due to upgrades in their credit ratings. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses, Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, and Risk Management - Credit Risk Management - Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio - MPP Credit Enhancements for more information.

Cash and Short-Term Investments. The total outstanding balance and composition of our short-term investment portfolio is influenced by our liquidity needs, market conditions and the availability of short-term investments at attractive interest rates, relative to our cost of funds. Cash and short-term investments totaled $2.8 billion at June 30, 2014, a decrease of 15% compared to December 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to higher liquidity levels at December 31, 2013 resulting from repayments of Advances at the end of the year and uncertainty related to the debt ceiling legislation. Cash and Due from Banks also decreased due to the use of cash to take advantage of short-term investment opportunities at June 30, 2014.

Investment Securities. AFS securities totaled $3.6 billion at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Net unrealized gains on AFS securities totaled $51.9 million at June 30, 2014, an increase of $25.5 million compared to December 31, 2013, due to favorable changes in interest rates, credit spreads and volatility. The percentage of non-MBS AFS securities due after one year through five years increased to 73% at June 30, 2014 compared to 65% at December 31, 2013. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 3 - Available-for-Sale Securities for more information.

HTM securities totaled $6.9 billion at June 30, 2014, a decrease of 3% compared to December 31, 2013 due to principal paydowns. At June 30, 2014, our HTM securities with gross unrealized losses totaled $1.4 billion, a decrease of 55% compared to December 31, 2013, primarily due to favorable changes in interest rates, credit spreads and volatility. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 4 - Held-to-Maturity Securities for more information.

See Risk Management - Credit Risk Management - Investments - Long-Term Investments herein for more information on our investment securities.

Total Liabilities. Total Liabilities were $36.6 billion at June 30, 2014, a net increase of 3% compared to December 31, 2013. This net increase of $1.2 billion was due to an increase of $1.2 billion in Consolidated Obligations.

Deposits (Liabilities). Total Deposits were $1.0 billion at June 30, 2014, a decrease of 10% compared to December 31, 2013. Total Deposits represent a relatively small portion of our funding and may also vary depending upon market factors, such as the attractiveness of our deposit pricing relative to the rates available on alternative money market instruments, members' investment preferences with respect to the maturity of their investments, and member liquidity.

Consolidated Obligations. At June 30, 2014, the carrying values of our Discount Notes and CO Bonds totaled $9.0 billion and $26.2 billion, respectively, compared to $7.4 billion and $26.6 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2013. The overall balance of our Consolidated Obligations fluctuates in relation to our Total Assets and the availability of alternative sources of funds. 





The carrying value of our Discount Notes was 26% of total Consolidated Obligations at June 30, 2014, compared to 22% at December 31, 2013. Discount Notes are issued primarily to provide short-term funds, while CO Bonds are issued to provide longer-term funding. The composition of our Consolidated Obligations can fluctuate significantly based on comparative changes in their cost levels, supply and demand conditions, demand for Advances, and our balance sheet management strategy. As of June 30, 2014, $12.4 billion or 47% of our outstanding CO Bonds, at par, as well as all of our Discount Notes, have a remaining maturity of one year or less. Our funding strategy generally results in a significant portion of CO Bonds maturing in one year or less being replaced at maturity. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 10 - Consolidated Obligations for more information.

Derivatives. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had Derivative Assets, net of collateral held or posted, including accrued interest, with estimated fair values of $10.0 million and $7.2 million, respectively, and Derivative Liabilities, net of collateral held or posted, including accrued interest, with estimated fair values of $115.4 million and $109.7 million, respectively. Increases and decreases in the fair value of derivatives are primarily caused by market changes in the derivatives' underlying interest rate.

Total Capital. Total Capital was $2.5 billion at June 30, 2014, an increase of 5% compared to December 31, 2013. This increase consisted of a net increase in Capital Stock of $56.7 million, a net increase in Retained Earnings of $29.7 million and a favorable change in AOCI of $25.5 million. The change in AOCI was primarily due to a net change in unrealized gains (losses) on AFS securities.
 
 
 
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Liquidity. Our primary sources of liquidity are holdings of cash and short-term investments and the issuance of Consolidated Obligations. Our cash and short-term investments portfolio totaled $2.8 billion at June 30, 2014. During the first six months of 2014, we maintained sufficient access to funding; our net proceeds from the issuance of Consolidated Obligations totaled $32.9 billion.

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

Capital Resources.

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $16.8 million in non-member capital stock subject to mandatory redemption.

Excess Stock. The following table presents the composition of our excess stock ($ amounts in millions):

On March 28, 2014, we announced that our Board of Directors approved an extension of a limited opportunity for our members to increase certain types of Advance borrowings with a lower accompanying capital stock requirement. Specifically, a limited amount of fixed-rate bullet Advances with maturities ranging from three months to five years issued from April 14, 2014 through September 30, 2014 will require members to hold only 2% in activity-based capital stock to support the borrowing rather than the previous level of 5%.

Capital Distributions. On July 29, 2014, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of 3.75% (annualized) on our Capital Stock Putable-Class B-1 and 3.0% (annualized) on our Capital Stock Putable-Class B-2 based on our net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

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

See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies for information on additional commitments and contingencies.

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

Derivatives and hedging activities (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities for more detail);
Fair value estimates (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 15 - Estimated Fair Values for more detail);
Provision for credit losses (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses for more detail);
Premiums and discounts and other costs associated with originating or acquiring mortgage loans (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for more detail); and
OTTI (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 5 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment for more detail).

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

Provision for Credit Losses.

Mortgage Loans Acquired under the MPP. Our allowance for loan losses incorporates our analysis of delinquent conventional MPP loans, using the weighted-average collateral recovery rate for the previous 12 months of approximately 56.8% of the original appraised value, further reduced by estimated liquidation costs.

We have also performed our loan loss analysis under an adverse scenario whereby we lowered the weighted-average collateral recovery rate to 45% for delinquent conventional loans and individually evaluated loans. While holding all other assumptions constant, such scenario would have increased our allowance by approximately $3.6 million at June 30, 2014. We consider a weighted-average collateral recovery rate of 45% to be the lowest rate that is reasonably possible to occur over the loss emergence period of 24 months. We continue to monitor the appropriateness of this adverse scenario based on the actual collateral recovery rate. Additionally, we evaluate the actual collateral recovery rate against other time periods including the most recent 3- and 6-month periods in order to consider potential trends in the market. Annually, we also consider other adverse scenarios that include loans in earlier stages of delinquency (90 days) and higher costs to liquidate collateral.




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

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

The actual OTTI-related credit losses recognized in earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 were $58 thousand. The adverse case scenario's estimated cash flows and OTTI-related credit losses estimate what the OTTI charges would have been under a more stressful scenario for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, which were $138 thousand.

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

Additional information regarding OTTI of our private-label RMBS and ABS is provided in Risk Management - Credit Risk Management - Investments herein.

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

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

Money Market Mutual Fund ("MMF") Reform. On June 19, 2013, the SEC proposed two alternatives for amending the rules that govern MMFs under the Investment Company Act of 1940. On July 23, 2014, the SEC approved final regulations governing MMFs. The SEC has established staggered compliance dates for the final regulations, with the first compliance date to occur 11 months after publication of the final regulations in the Federal Register. The final regulations among other things will require:

institutional prime money market funds to maintain a floating net asset value, which would result in the daily share prices of the MMFs fluctuating along with changes in the market-based value of the securities in their underlying portfolios;
MMF boards of directors to directly address a run on a fund by imposing liquidity fees or suspending redemptions temporarily; and
enhanced diversification, disclosure and stress testing requirements, as well as updated reporting by MMFs and private funds that operate like MMFs.

The final regulations do not change the existing regulatory treatment of FHLBank System Consolidated Obligations as liquid assets. FHLBank System Discount Notes continue to be included in the definition of "daily liquid assets," and the definition of "weekly liquid assets" continues to include FHLBank System Discount Notes with a remaining maturity up to 60 days. At this time, any additional effects on the demand for FHLBank System Consolidated Obligations are unknown.





Risk Management

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

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

Advances. Advances, at par, to our insurance company members were 59% and 61% of total Advances at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. We believe that Advances outstanding to our insurance company members and the relative percentage of their Advances to the total could continue to increase. Although insurance companies represent significant growth opportunities for our credit products, they have different risk characteristics than our depository members. Some of the ways we mitigate this risk include requiring insurance companies to deliver collateral to us or our custodian and using industry-specific underwriting approaches as part of our ongoing evaluation of each insurance company member's financial strength.

As of June 30, 2014, we had Advances outstanding, at par, of $3.3 billion from five of our insurance company members whose total credit products included Advances outstanding that exceeded 15% of their general account assets, net of borrowed money. Two of these members are captive insurance companies that had $1.5 billion of Advances outstanding, at par, as of June 30, 2014. A captive insurance company insures risks of its parent, affiliated companies and/or other entities under common control. Beginning on March 21, 2014, management began establishing a borrowing limit on a case-by-case basis for our captive insurance company members based on a review and recommendation by our credit services underwriting department. Credit services underwriting makes a recommendation based upon a number of factors that may include the member's financial condition, collateral quality, business plan and earnings stability. In addition, we generally require captive insurance company members (as well as certain other members) to: (i) own the collateral free of other encumbrances, (ii) collateralize all obligations to us, including prepayment fees, accrued interest and any outstanding AHP or MPP obligations, (iii) obtain our prior approval before pledging whole loan collateral, (iv) provide a parent guarantee of the member’s obligations, and (v) provide annual audit reports of the member entity and its ultimate parent, as well as quarterly financial statements.

Concentration. Our credit risk is magnified due to the concentration of Advances in a few borrowers. As of June 30, 2014, our top two borrowers held 24% of total Advances outstanding, at par, and our top five borrowers held 41% of total Advances outstanding, at par. Because of this concentration in Advances, we perform frequent credit and collateral reviews on our largest borrowers. In addition, we analyze the implications to our financial management and profitability if we were to lose the business of one of these borrowers.

Prepayment Fees. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $4.2 billion or 22% of Advances outstanding, at par, and $4.1 billion or 24% of Advances outstanding, at par, respectively, that can be prepaid without incurring prepayment or termination fees. All other Advances may only be prepaid by paying a fee that is sufficient to make us financially indifferent to the prepayment of the Advance.





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

Short-Term Investments. At June 30, 2014, our unsecured credit exposure to investments in United States branches and agency offices of foreign commercial banks was limited to Federal Funds Sold that matured overnight and totaled $230.0 million, including accrued interest, to one private counterparty whose parent is domiciled in Canada. This counterparty has a long-term credit rating of A, stated in terms of the S&P equivalent. Unsecured transactions can be conducted only with counterparties that are domiciled in countries that maintain a long-term equivalent sovereign rating from S&P of AA or higher. None of our Federal Funds Sold were with our members at June 30, 2014.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Long-Term Investments. Our long-term investments include RMBS guaranteed by the housing GSEs (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac), other U.S. obligations - guaranteed RMBS (Ginnie Mae), and agency debentures issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the TVA and the Federal Farm Credit Banks.

A Finance Agency regulation provides that the total value of our investments in MBS and ABS, calculated using amortized historical cost, must not exceed 300% of our total regulatory capital, consisting of Retained Earnings, Class B Capital Stock, and MRCS, as of the day we purchase the securities, based on the capital amount most recently reported to the Finance Agency. These investments, as a percentage of total regulatory capital, were 287% at June 30, 2014 compared to 308% at December 31, 2013. Although our outstanding investments in MBS and ABS exceeded the limitation at December 31, 2013, we were in compliance at the time we purchased the investments and, therefore, we were not out of compliance with the regulation. However, we were not permitted to purchase additional investments in MBS and ABS until these outstanding investments were within the capital limitation. Generally, our goal is to maintain these investments near the 300% limit in order to enhance earnings and capital for our members and diversify our revenue stream.





The following table presents the carrying values of our investments, excluding accrued interest, by credit rating, grouped by investment category. Applicable rating levels are determined using the lowest relevant long-term rating from S&P, Moody's and Fitch, each stated in terms of the S&P equivalent. Rating modifiers are ignored when determining the applicable rating level for a given counterparty or investment. Amounts reported do not reflect any changes in ratings, outlook, or watch status occurring after June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013, respectively ($ amounts in millions):

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

All private-label RMBS and ABS were rated with an S&P equivalent rating of AAA at the date of purchase. Our private-label RMBS and ABS are backed by collateral located only in the United States and the District of Columbia. The top five states, by percentage of collateral located in those states as of June 30, 2014, were California (63%), New York (6%), Florida (5%), Virginia (3%), and Connecticut (2%).




The table below presents the UPB of our private-label RMBS and ABS by credit ratings, based on the lowest of Moody's, S&P, or comparable Fitch ratings, each stated in terms of the S&P equivalent, as well as amortized cost, estimated fair value, and OTTI losses, grouped by year of securitization as of June 30, 2014 ($ amounts in millions):

OTTI Evaluation Process. The following table presents additional significant modeling assumptions used to determine whether a security was OTTI during the second quarter of 2014, as well as the related current credit enhancement as of June 30, 2014. Credit enhancement is defined as the percentage of subordinated tranches and over-collateralization, if any, in a security structure that will generally absorb losses before we will experience a loss on the security. A credit enhancement percentage of zero reflects securities that have no remaining credit support and are likely to have experienced an actual principal loss. The calculated averages represent the dollar-weighted averages of all of the OTTI private-label RMBS and ABS in each category shown. RMBS and ABS are classified as prime, Alt-A or subprime based on the model used to estimate the cash flows for the security, which may not be the same as the classification by the rating agency at the time of origination ($ amounts in millions).

On August 3, 2011, we announced that we would no longer accept RMIC, a subsidiary of Old Republic International Corporation, as a provider of PMI, effective with MDCs committed on or after August 1, 2011. On January 20, 2012, the North Carolina Department of Insurance took possession and control of RMIC, and, beginning January 19, 2012, RMIC was authorized to pay only 50% of its claim amounts, with the remaining amount to be paid at a future date when funds become available. On December 3, 2012, RMIC announced regulatory approval of a plan to pay 60% of its claims amounts for claims settled subsequent to January 19, 2012. On June 30, 2014, RMIC announced regulatory approval of a plan to resume payment of all valid claims settled on or after July 1, 2014 at 100% of its claim amounts without further deferrals. Furthermore, it will pay, in full, all deferred payment obligations outstanding as of June 30, 2014.

MPP and MPF Loan Concentration. The mortgage loans purchased through the MPP and the participation interests purchased through the MPF program are currently dispersed across 50 states and the District of Columbia. No single zip code represented more than 1% of mortgage loans outstanding at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. It is likely that the concentration of mortgage loans in Indiana and Michigan will continue to increase in the future due to the loss of the 3 largest MPP sellers in 2006 - 2007 that were our primary sources of nationwide mortgages. The median outstanding size of our mortgage loans was approximately $132 thousand and $131 thousand at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

MPP and MPF Credit Performance. The serious delinquency rate for the MPP FHA mortgages was 0.56% at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. We rely on insurance provided by the FHA, which generally provides coverage for 100% of the principal balance of the underlying mortgage loan and defaulted interest at the debenture rate. However, we would receive defaulted interest at the contractual rate from the servicer.

The serious delinquency rate for MPP conventional mortgages was 1.17% at June 30, 2014, compared to 1.56% at December 31, 2013. Both rates were below the national serious delinquency rate. There were two seriously delinquent conventional MPF loans at June 30, 2014. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses for more information.





Derivatives. Our over-the-counter derivative transactions are either (i) executed with a counterparty (bilateral derivatives) or (ii) cleared through a Futures Commission Merchant (i.e., clearing agent) with a Clearinghouse (cleared derivatives). See Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Management - Credit Risk Management - Derivatives in our 2013 Form 10-K for more information.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Measuring Market Risks
 
We utilize multiple risk measurements, including duration of equity, duration gap, convexity, VaR, earnings at risk, and changes in market value of equity, to evaluate market risk. Periodically, stress tests are conducted to measure and analyze the effects that extreme movements in the level of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve would have on our risk position.
 
Duration of Equity. The following table presents the effective duration of equity levels for our total position, which are subject to internal policy guidelines:
Date
 
-200 bps (1)
 
0 bps
 
+200 bps
June 30, 2014
 
(3.1) years
 
(0.5) years
 
1.9 years
December 31, 2013
 
0.6 years
 
(2.0) years
 
2.1 years
 
(1) 
Our internal policy guidelines provide for the calculation of the duration of equity in a low-rate environment to be based on the Finance Agency Advisory Bulletin 03-09, as modified September 3, 2008. Under these guidelines, our duration of equity for the -200 bps duration level was (0.5) years at June 30, 2014 and (2.0) years at December 31, 2013, which were equal to the levels under the base case (0 bps).

We were in compliance with the duration of equity limits established at both dates. The change in the base case duration of equity level (0 bps) at June 30, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013 was primarily due to a change in the pricing assumption for internal modeling purposes for swapped Consolidated Obligations to the price implied by the matched swap. This change resulted in our liabilities being shortened relative to assets and, therefore, lengthened the duration of equity.

Our -200 bps duration of equity level declined primarily due to a combination of the following factors: (i) our interest-rate risk model floors forward rates at 0%; (ii) the pricing assumption for swapped Consolidated Obligations is now derived from the price implied by the matched swap; and (iii) the assumption of lower long-term interest rates increased the forecasted mortgage prepayments and the exercise of callable Consolidated Obligations.

Duration Gap. The duration gap was (1.4) months at June 30, 2014, compared to (3.3) months at December 31, 2013.

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

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

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") is: (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms; and (b) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As of June 30, 2014, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the Principal Executive Officer), Executive Vice President - Finance (the Principal Financial Officer), and Chief Accounting Officer (the Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President - Finance, and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014.
 
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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

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





Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

Private-Label Mortgage-Backed Securities Litigation

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

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
Except for an addition to the following risk factor, there have been no material changes in the risk factors described in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our 2013 Form 10-K.

Changes in the Legal and Regulatory Environment May Adversely Affect Our Business, Demand for Advances, the Cost of Debt Issuance, and the Value of FHLBank Membership

In May and June of 2014, the Finance Agency communicated to the FHLBanks that admitting captive insurance companies to FHLBank membership and making Advances to them raises regulatory concerns. On June 12, 2014, the 12 FHLBanks notified the Finance Agency that the FHLBanks would refrain from approving new FHLBank memberships for captive insurance companies for 90 days. The FHLBanks took this step to facilitate additional exchanges of information and further discussions among the FHLBanks, the Finance Agency and other stakeholders regarding the eligibility and suitability of captive insurers for FHLBank membership. Our results of operations may be adversely affected in the future due to the reduced business opportunities that could result if the Finance Agency were to issue guidance or regulations that effectively reduce the availability of FHLBank membership for certain types of insurance companies.
