FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF TOPEKA
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2007
NOTE 1 – FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The accompanying interim financial statements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (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 instructions 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, 2006. 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 30, 2007 (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.
Issuance of SFAS 157: In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (herein referred to as “SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (January 1, 2008 for the FHLBank), and interim periods within those fiscal years. The FHLBank does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Issuance of SFAS 159: In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (herein referred to as “SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits the FHLBank to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Changes in the fair values for the selected items will be recorded in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, is irrevocable and is applied to the entire instrument. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the FHLBank’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007 (January 1, 2008 for the FHLBank). The FHLBank has not yet determined the effect that the implementation of SFAS 159 will have on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Issuance of FSP FIN 39-1: In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN 39-1 "Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39” (herein referred to as “FSP FIN 39-1”). FSP FIN 39-1 amends FASB Interpretation Number (FIN) 39 “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts – An interpretation of APB Opinion No. 10 and FASB Statement No. 105” (herein referred to as “FIN 39”) to replace the terms conditional contracts and exchange contracts with the term derivative instruments as defined in SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (herein referred to as “SFAS 133”). FSP FIN 39-1 permits the FHLBank to offset fair value amounts recognized for cash collateral receivable or payable against fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under master netting agreements in accordance with paragraph 10 of FIN 39. FSP FIN 39-1 requires the FHLBank to consistently offset the derivative fair value and the collateral fair value. The FHLBank will be required to recognize the effects of applying FIN 39-1 through retrospective application to all financial statements presented unless it is impracticable to do so. The FHLBank, upon adoption of FSP FIN 39-1, will be permitted to change its accounting policy to offset or not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments. FSP FIN 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (January 1, 2008 for the FHLBank). The FHLBank is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this statement will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
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

10


 

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. 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.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the 2006 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentations. Such reclassifications have no impact on net income or capital.

In general, a borrower is charged a prepayment fee when an advance is repaid before its stated maturity. Prepayment fees are calculated using methods that make the FHLBank financially indifferent to the advance prepayments. 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). The borrowers normally exercise their 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, 2007 and December 31, 2006 include callable advances totaling $4,370,173,000 and $3,781,912,000, respectively. Of these callable advances, there were $4,351,218,000 and $3,779,516,000 of adjustable rate advances as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

The FHLBank’s advances outstanding also include advances that contain conversion options that may be exercised at the FHLBank’s discretion on specific dates (conversion dates) before the stated advance maturities (convertible advances). With convertible advances, the FHLBank effectively purchases put options from the borrowers that allow the FHLBank to convert the fixed rate advances to adjustable rate advances. In exchange for the options, borrowers are charged interest rates that are below those for fixed rate advances with comparable maturities. The FHLBank normally exercises its conversion options on these advances when interest rates increase. The FHLBank’s advances as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 included convertible advances totaling $3,959,691,000 and $3,996,241,000, respectively.

NOTE 6 – AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAM (AHP)
The Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932 (Bank Act), as amended by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, requires each FHLBank to establish an AHP. As a part of its AHP, the FHLBank provides subsidies in the form of direct grants or below-market interest rate advances to members that use the funds to assist in the purchase, construction or rehabilitation of housing for very low-, low- and moderate-income households. To fund the AHP, the 12 district FHLBanks as a group must annually set aside the greater of $100,000,000 or 10 percent of the current year’s regulatory income. The AHP and REFCORP assessments are calculated simultaneously because of their interdependence on each other. The FHLBank accrues an AHP assessment monthly based on its regulatory income. Calculation of the REFCORP assessment is discussed in Note 7.
The following table details the change in the AHP liability for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands):

1   Recaptured funds are direct grants returned to the FHLBank in those instances where the commitments associated with the approved use of funds are not met and repayment to the FHLBank is required by regulation. Recaptured funds are returned as a result of: (1) AHP-assisted homeowner’s transfer or sale of property within the five-year retention period that the assisted homeowner is required to occupy the property; or (2) unused grants. Recaptured funds are reallocated to future periods.
NOTE 7 – RESOLUTION FUNDING CORPORATION (REFCORP)
Each FHLBank is required to pay 20 percent of income calculated in accordance with GAAP after the assessment for AHP, but before the assessment for REFCORP. The AHP and REFCORP assessments are calculated

simultaneously because of their interdependence on each other. The FHLBank accrues its REFCORP assessment on a monthly basis. Calculation of the AHP assessment is discussed in Note 6. The Resolution Funding Corporation has been designated as the calculation agent for AHP and REFCORP assessments. Each FHLBank provides its interest expense related to mandatorily redeemable capital stock under SFAS 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, and net income before AHP and REFCORP to the Resolution Funding Corporation, which then performs the calculations for each quarter end and levies the assessments to the FHLBanks for the quarter.

NOTE 8 MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR PORTFOLIO
The Mortgage Partnership Finance® (MPF®) Program involves the FHLBank investing in mortgage loans, which are either funded by the FHLBank through or purchased from its participating members. The total loans represent held-for-portfolio loans under the MPF Program whereby participating FHLBank members originate and credit enhance home mortgage loans that are owned by the FHLBank. Dependent upon a member’s business strategy, servicing rights can be retained or sold. The FHLBank does not buy or own any mortgage servicing rights.

The credit enhancement is an obligation on the part of the participating member that ensures the retention of credit risk on loans it originates on behalf of or sells to the FHLBank. The FHLBank pays the participating member a credit enhancement fee for managing this portion of the credit risk in the pool of loans. These fees are paid monthly based upon the remaining unpaid principal balance for the pool of loans. Credit enhancement fees paid by the FHLBank to participating members for assuming the credit enhancement obligation are netted against interest income when paid. Credit enhancement fees paid by the FHLBank to participating members totaled $607,000 and $629,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, credit enhancement fees paid by the FHLBank to participating members totaled $1,214,000 and $1,264,000, respectively.

NOTE 9 CONSOLIDATED OBLIGATIONS
Consolidated obligations consist of consolidated bonds and discount notes and, as provided by the Bank Act or Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board) regulation, are backed only by the financial resources of the FHLBanks. The FHLBanks jointly issue consolidated obligations with the Office of Finance acting as their agent. In connection with each debt issuance, each FHLBank specifies the amount of debt it wants issued on its behalf. The Office of Finance tracks the amounts of debt issued on behalf of each FHLBank. In addition, the FHLBank separately tracks and records as a liability its specific portion of consolidated obligations for which it is the primary obligor. The Finance Board and the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury have oversight over the issuance of FHLBank debt through the Office of Finance. Consolidated obligation bonds are issued primarily to raise intermediate- and long-term funds for the FHLBanks and are not subject to any statutory or regulatory limits as to maturities. Consolidated obligation discount notes, which are issued to raise short-term funds, are issued at less than their face amounts and redeemed at par when they mature.

The FHLBank’s participation in consolidated obligation bonds outstanding as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 includes callable bonds totaling $23,905,993,000 and $22,523,565,000, respectively. The FHLBank uses the unswapped callable bonds for financing its callable advances (Note 5), mortgage-backed securities (Notes 2 and 4) and MPF mortgage loans (Note 8). Contemporaneous with a majority of its fixed rate callable bond issues, 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.

NOTE 11 – EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS
The FHLBank maintains a benefit equalization plan (BEP) covering certain senior officers. This non-qualified plan contains provisions for a deferred compensation component and a defined benefit pension component. The BEP is, in substance, an unfunded supplemental retirement plan.
Net periodic pension cost for the defined benefit portion of the FHLBank’s BEP was as follows for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands).

NOTE 12 DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Nature of Business Activity: The FHLBank enters into interest rate swaps (including callable and putable swaps), swaptions, and interest rate cap and floor agreements (collectively, derivatives) to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. The FHLBank may utilize derivatives to adjust the effective maturity, re-pricing frequency or option characteristics of financial instruments to achieve risk management objectives.
Effectiveness Measurements: Highly effective hedges that use interest rate swaps as the hedging instrument and that meet certain stringent criteria can qualify for “shortcut” fair value hedge accounting. Shortcut hedge accounting allows for the assumption of no ineffectiveness, which means that the change in fair value of the hedged item can be assumed to be equal to the change in fair value of the derivative. This is in contrast to fair value hedges designated under the “long haul” hedge accounting method, where the change in fair value of the hedged item must be measured separately from the derivative, and for which effectiveness testing must be performed regularly with results falling within established tolerances.
For hedge transactions that do not quality for shortcut hedge accounting, the FHLBank completes effectiveness testing at inception and on a monthly basis thereafter. The FHLBank utilizes the rolling regression method and the dollar-offset method to assess effectiveness. When a hedging relationship fails the effectiveness test, hedge accounting is discontinued. The FHLBank continues to mark the derivative to market on a monthly basis but no

20


 

longer marks the hedged item to market. The fair value basis on the hedged item is amortized as a yield adjustment to income or expense.
Financial Statement Impact and Additional Financial Information: For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the FHLBank recorded net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 13 – ESTIMATED FAIR VALUES
The following estimated fair values have been determined by the FHLBank using available market information and the FHLBank’s best judgment of appropriate valuation methodologies. These estimates are based on pertinent information available to the FHLBank as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Although the FHLBank uses its best judgment in estimating the fair values of these financial instruments, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique or valuation methodology. For example, because an active secondary market does not exist for a portion of the FHLBank’s financial instruments, fair values in certain cases are not subject to precise quantification or verification and may change as economic and market factors and evaluation of those factors

21


 

change. Therefore, these estimated fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in current market transactions. The Fair Value Summary Tables 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. The estimated fair values of the FHLBank’s financial instruments are more fully discussed in Note 16 in the audited 2006 financial statements included in the FHLBank’s annual report on Form 10-K.
The carrying value, net unrealized gains (losses) and estimated fair values of the FHLBank’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2007 are summarized in the following table (in thousands):

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As described in Note 9, as provided by the Bank Act or Finance Board regulation, consolidated obligations are backed only by the financial resources of the FHLBanks. FHLBank Topeka is jointly and severally liable with the 11 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 $921,166,817,000 and $902,205,923,000 as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, 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 Board determines that the primary obligor is unable to satisfy its obligations, then the Finance Board may allocate the outstanding liability among the remaining FHLBanks on a pro rata basis in proportion to each FHLBank’s participation in all consolidated obligations outstanding, or on any other basis that the Finance Board may determine. No FHLBank has ever failed to make any payment on a consolidated obligation for which it was the primary obligor. As a result, the

23


 

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.
Standby letters of credit are executed for members or non-member housing associates 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, 2007 and December 31, 2006, outstanding standby letters of credit totaled $2,093,344,000 and $2,125,187,000, respectively, and had original terms of three days to seven years and seven days to seven years, respectively, with a final expiration in 2011. Unearned fees, as well as the value of the guarantees related to standby letters of credit, are recorded in other liabilities and amounted to $1,149,000 and $1,112,000 as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Based upon management’s credit analysis and collateral requirements, the FHLBank does not expect to incur any credit losses on the letters of credit.
Commitments that unconditionally obligate the FHLBank to fund/purchase mortgage loans from participating FHLBank Topeka members in the MPF Program totaled $18,207,000 and $14,006,000 as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Commitments are generally for periods not to exceed 60 calendar days. In accordance with SFAS 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” certain commitments are recorded as derivatives at their fair values on the Statements of Condition. The FHLBank recorded mortgage delivery commitment derivative asset (liability) balances of $(88,000) and $(31,000) as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
The FHLBank has entered into standby bond purchase agreements with state housing authorities within its four-state district 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 bonds according to a schedule established by the standby agreement. Each standby agreement dictates the specific terms that would require the FHLBank to purchase the bonds. The bond purchase commitments entered into by the FHLBank expire no later than 2012, though some are renewable at the option of the FHLBank. Total commitments for bond purchases with two state housing authorities were $809,728,000 and $724,342,000 as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The FHLBank was not required to purchase any bonds under these agreements during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
The FHLBank generally executes derivatives with counterparties having ratings of single-A or better by either Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s. These agreements are generally covered under bilateral collateral agreements between the FHLBank and the counterparties. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the FHLBank had delivered cash and securities with a book value of $142,710,000 and $67,430,000, respectively, as collateral to broker/dealers that have market-risk exposure to the FHLBank. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, cash that has been pledged in the amount of $142,710,000 and $67,430,000, respectively, is classified as interest-bearing deposits on the Statements of Condition.
NOTE 15 – TRANSACTIONS WITH STOCKHOLDERS AND HOUSING ASSOCIATES
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 in accordance with SFAS No. 57, Related Party Disclosures (herein referred to as “SFAS 57”) as FHLBank directors’ financial institutions and members with investments in excess of 10 percent of 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: The following tables present information as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 on members that own more than 10 percent of

24

NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Natural Disasters Could Lead to Possible Losses on Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio: FHLBank Topeka owns interests in mortgage loans collateralized by properties located in Kansas and Oklahoma that were devastated by flooding from May through July 2007. The total principal amount outstanding for mortgage loans in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) declared disaster areas, as outlined in FEMA-1711-DR and FEMA-1712-DR, as of June 30, 2007 is $101,886,000. While the FHLBank has not yet determined if any of the residences securing these mortgage loans were damaged in the flooding and, if so, whether the properties were covered by flood insurance, it is possible that the FHLBank may incur losses on some of these mortgage loans; however, we are unable to ascertain the extent of those losses at this time. Management does not anticipate any related losses on these mortgage loans to significantly impact the FHLBank’s financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reviews the financial condition of the FHLBank as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim financial statements and notes presented under Part I Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the annual report on Form 10-K, which includes audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Overview
The FHLBank Topeka is a regional wholesale bank that makes advances (loans) to, purchases mortgages from, and provides other financial services to our member institutions. We are one of 12 district Federal Home Loan Banks which, 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 Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board), an independent agency in the executive branch of the United States Government, supervises and regulates the FHLBanks and the Office of Finance. The Finance Board ensures that the FHLBanks operate in a safe and sound manner, carry out their housing finance mission, remain adequately capitalized and are able to raise funds in the capital markets.
The FHLBank serves 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 to give them access to advance borrowings or to enable them to sell mortgage loans to the FHLBank under the Mortgage Partnership Finance® (MPF®) Program. The FHLBank’s capital increases when its members are required to purchase additional capital stock in the form of Class B Common Stock to support an increase in advance borrowings from the FHLBank or the sale of additional mortgage loans to the FHLBank. At its discretion, the FHLBank may repurchase excess capital stock from time to time if a member’s advances or mortgage loan balances decline. Despite fluctuations in total assets, liabilities and capital in recent quarters, the FHLBank has been able to: (1) achieve its housing mission by meeting member credit needs, and (2) pay market-rate dividends.

Quarterly Overview
Total assets declined during the first six months of 2007, decreasing by 0.2 percent to $52.6 billion at June 30, 2007 from $52.7 billion at December 31, 2006. The mix of assets changed relatively little in the six-month period, with a $0.4 billion decrease in Federal funds sold and a $0.3 billion decrease in interest-bearing deposits that were offset by a $0.7 billion increase in held-to-maturity investments and a $0.1 billion increase in advances. On the liability side of the balance sheet, discount notes, which are typically used to fund short-term advances and Federal funds sold, decreased by $1.5 billion while longer term consolidated obligation bonds increased by $1.3 billion.
The FHLBank’s net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 was $34.3 million compared to $32.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to the following:
  $1.0 million increase in net interest income (increase income);
 
  $0.6 million decrease in net income related to net gain (loss) on trading securities (decrease income);
 
  $0.4 million increase in net income related to net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities (increase income);
 
  $3.0 million increase in other income (increase income);
 
  $2.0 million increase in total other expenses (decrease income); and
 
  $0.5 million increase in assessments (decrease income).
Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 was $66.9 million compared to $69.8 million for the six–month period ended June 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily attributable to the following:
  $2.9 million increase in net interest income (increase income);
 
  $1.0 million net realized loss on sale of held-to-maturity securities in 2007 (decrease income);
 
  $13.4 million increase in net income related to net gain (loss) on trading securities (increase income);
 
  $20.9 million decrease in net income related to net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities (decrease income);
 
  $5.0 million increase in other income (increase income);
 
  $3.4 million increase in total other expenses (decrease income); and
 
  $1.0 million decrease in assessments (increase income).
The FHLBank’s net income for the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006 was positively affected by the change related to net gain on derivatives and hedging activities and the increase in other income which were partially offset by the negative effect of a loss related to trading securities and the increase in total other expenses. For the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006, net income was negatively affected by the decrease in the net gain on derivative and hedging activities and an increase in total other expenses which were only partially offset by the positive effect of the reduction in losses related to trading securities. Since a significant portion of the FHLBank’s equity capital, as evidenced by its relatively short duration of equity (DOE), is invested in assets with a short duration and thus earns the equivalent of a short-term money market rate, this part of equity continues to earn a short-term interest rate that was higher than most long-term interest rates because of the inversion of the yield curve for most of the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk – Interest Rate Risk Management” under Item 3 for additional discussion on the FHLBank’s DOE. The FHLBank’s net interest margin remained fairly constant at 0.44 percent and 0.45 percent for the three–month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The FHLBank’s return on equity (ROE) decreased to 6.76 percent for the second quarter of 2007 compared to 6.80 percent for the same period of 2006. This was primarily due to a decrease in net income related to the net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities and net gain (loss) on trading securities mentioned previously. The FHLBank’s net interest margin remained relatively unchanged at 0.44 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 0.45 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Meanwhile, ROE decreased to 6.61 percent for the first six months of 2007 compared to 7.23 percent for the first six months of 2006. As indicated previously, the decrease between the two periods is primarily related to changes in gains (losses) on derivatives and trading securities (i.e., $20.9 million decrease in net income related to net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities offset by $13.4 million increase in net income related to net gain (loss) on trading securities).
Dividends paid for the second quarter of 2007 were 4.45 percent and 6.50 percent per annum for Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, respectively. This was an increase over dividends paid for the second quarter of 2006 of 4.25 and 6.05 percent per annum for Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, respectively. The increase in dividend rates corresponds with the level of the average short-term interest rates for the periods. Refer to this Item 2 – “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Capital Distributions” for further information regarding FHLBank dividend payments.

Results of Operations
The primary source of the FHLBank’s earnings is net interest income (NII), which is the interest earned on advances, mortgage loans, investments and invested capital less interest paid on consolidated obligations, deposits, and other borrowings. The increase in NII for the second quarter of 2007 over the second quarter of 2006 and for the first six months of 2007 over the first six months of 2006 is primarily attributable to the increase in short-term interest rates (see Table 2) and the overall increase in the average balance of total assets. See Tables 4 through 7 for further information regarding average balances and yields and changes in interest income.

Net income is subject to volatility not only from changes in interest rates but also from gains (losses) on trading securities and derivatives. See “Net Gain (Loss) on Derivative and Hedging Activities” and “Net Gain (Loss) on Trading Securities” in this Item 2 for a discussion of the impact of these activities by period.

Net Interest Income – Net interest income increased 1.9 percent from $53.6 million in the second quarter of 2006 to $54.6 million in the second quarter of 2007, while the FHLBank’s net interest margin decreased from 0.45 percent for the second quarter of 2006 to 0.44 percent for the second quarter of 2007. Interest income on interest-earning assets increased from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007 primarily because of increasing interest rates but also because of an increase in the volume of interest-earning assets as reflected in Table 5. Similar interest rate and volume effects occurred in interest-bearing liabilities. There were similar changes in rates and volumes for both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, but the net interest spread reflected in Table 4 increased from 0.18 percent for the second quarter of 2006 to 0.20 percent for the second quarter of 2007 as the FHLBank experienced a slight increase between its returns on money market investments and advances and its cost of funds during the second quarter of 2007.
Net interest income increased 2.7 percent from $106.0 million for the first six months of 2006 to $108.9 million for the first six months of 2007 primarily because of the impact of increasing interest rates on invested capital. However, the FHLBank’s net interest margin decreased from 0.45 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 0.44 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. As reflected in Table 6, the FHLBank’s net interest spread fell from 0.20 percent during the first half of 2006 to 0.19 percent during the first half of 2007. However, Table 7 demonstrates that, while the impacts of changes in volumes and a lower net interest spread served to decrease net interest income from the first half of 2006 to the first half of 2007, the increase in interest rates between the periods offset the negative impact of lower spreads and resulted in an increase in net interest income from 2006 to 2007.
As explained in more detail in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk – Interest Rate Risk Management” under Item 3, the FHLBank’s DOE is relatively short. The short DOE is the result of the short maturities (or short reset periods) on the majority of the FHLBank’s assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the FHLBank’s net interest income is quite sensitive to the level of short-term interest rates. As short-term interest rates rose from 2006 to 2007, so did the FHLBank’s net interest income attributable to invested capital.

Net Gain (Loss) on Derivative and Hedging Activities – The volatility in other income is predominately driven by derivative and hedging adjustments related to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – Deferral of Effective Date of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and as amended by SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (hereafter referred to as SFAS 133). The application of SFAS 133 resulted in a net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities of $10.4 million and $10.0 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities was $7.2 million and $28.1 million, respectively. The FHLBank’s net gains (losses) from derivatives and hedging are sensitive to the general level of interest rates during any three,- six-, nine-, or 12-month period. Most of the derivative gains and losses are related to economic hedges such as swaps matched to trading securities, caps, floors, etc. Because of the mix of these economic hedges, the FHLBank generally records gains on its derivatives when the general level of interest rates rises over the period and records losses on its derivatives when the general level of interest rates falls over the period.
Net Gain (Loss) on Trading Securities – Historically, all of our trading securities have been related to economic hedges. Therefore, all of the gains (losses) relating to trading securities are included in Tables 8 through 11. Unrealized gains (losses) fluctuate as the fair value of our trading securities portfolio fluctuates. As noted above, the FHLBank’s trading securities are sensitive to the general level of interest rates. Gains (losses) in this category move in the opposite direction of and partially offset the net gain (loss) on derivative and hedging activities. The FHLBank generally records gains on its trading securities when the general level of interest rates falls over the period and records losses on its trading securities when the general level of interest rates rises over the period.

Other Non-interest Income – Included in other non-interest income are realized gains (losses) from the sale of held-to-maturity securities. In the first quarter of 2007, several held-to-maturity securities were sold. All securities sold had paid down below 15 percent of the principal outstanding at acquisition. The FHLBank realized a net loss of $1.0

37


 

million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. There were no sales of securities during the three months ended June 30, 2007 or 2006.
Return on Equity – Return on equity was 6.76 percent (annualized) in the second quarter of 2007, a decrease of 4 basis points from 6.80 percent for the second quarter of 2006. This decrease reflects the higher average balance of equity for the second quarter of 2007 which was partially offset by a 4.4 percent increase in net income, from $32.9 million in the second quarter of 2006 to $34.3 million in the second quarter of 2007. As discussed previously in “Results of Operations – Net Interest Income” in this Item 2 and reflected in Table 3, the primary contributor to the decrease in ROE was the decrease in net income related to net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities and gain (loss) on trading securities from the second quarter 2006 to the second quarter 2007.
Return on equity was 6.61 percent (annualized) for the first six months of 2007, a decrease of 62 basis points from 7.23 percent for the first six months of 2006. As discussed previously in “Results of Operations – Net Interest Income” in this Item 2 and reflected in Tables 6 and 7, the increase in interest rates from 2006 to 2007 would normally have resulted in an increase in ROE as the FHLBank’s yield on interest-earning assets increased from 4.85 percent during the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 to 5.35 percent during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. However, net income decreased from $69.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $66.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, which represents a 4.0 percent decrease. The primary driver in the decrease in the FHLBank’s net income and ROE from the first half of 2006 to the first half of 2007 was a $20.9 million decrease in net income related to net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities that was partially offset by a $13.4 million increase in net income related to net gain (loss) on trading securities. Another factor contributing to the decrease in ROE between the periods was a slight tightening in interest spreads. While total interest income increased 14.7 percent to $1.3 billion in the first six months of 2007 versus the first six months of 2006, total interest expense increased 16.0 percent to $1.2 billion. The larger increase in total interest expense compared to interest income from 2006 to 2007 is a result of tightening spreads on mortgage-backed securities over the first half of 2007 partially offset by some increased spreads on money market investments and advances during the second quarter that were previously discussed. Average capital grew a modest 4.9 percent from $1.9 billion for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 to $2.0 billion for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The growth in capital along with the decline in net income contributed to the decrease in ROE for the first six months of 2007 over the first six months of 2006.

Advances – Outstanding advances increased by 0.2 percent from $28.4 billion on December 31, 2006 to $28.5 billion on June 30, 2007 (see Table 12), with no significant change in the mix of advance products between those dates. During the first six months of 2007, the par value of total fixed rate advances decreased by $0.3 billion and the par value of total adjustable rate advances, including lines of credit, increased by $0.3 billion (see Table 13). From December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007, SFAS 133 basis adjustments on advances decreased primarily as a result of the decreased level of convertible advances, which are hedged by the FHLBank with derivatives.
We expect the FHLBank’s prospect for growth in advances to existing members for the remainder of 2007 will be limited as members’ originations of mortgage loans held in portfolio slow due to increased mortgage rates and the slowing housing market. We also expect that existing members will continue to utilize excess liquidity from maturing investments and from other sources such as customer deposits to fund any increased loan demand before turning to the FHLBank for wholesale borrowings in the form of advances. The FHLBank expects that any advance growth during the remainder of 2007 will come from new FHLBank members, primarily from new or recent insurance company members.

Total advances as a percentage of total assets increased slightly from 53.9 percent as of December 31, 2006 to 54.2 percent as of June 30, 2007. The percentage of total advances to total assets is expected to hold relatively steady within a range from 53 to 60 percent in future periods as any growth in the mortgage loan portfolio is accommodated on the FHLBank’s balance sheet through a reduction in money market and other short-term investments. The average yield on advances was 5.36 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to 4.99 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Additionally, the average yield on advances was 5.36 percent and 4.77 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
As detailed in Table 13, 76.2 percent of the FHLBank’s advance portfolio as of June 30, 2007, reprices within three months compared to 73.2 percent as of December 31, 2006. Because of the relatively short nature of the FHLBank’s advance portfolio, the average yield in this portfolio typically responds quickly to changes in the general level of short-term interest rates. The level of short-term interest rates is primarily driven by FOMC decisions on the level of its overnight Federal funds target, but is also influenced by the expectations of capital market participants related to the strength of the economy, future inflationary pressure and other factors. See Tables 4 through 7 under “Results of Operations – Net Interest Income” in this Item 2 for further information regarding average balances and yields and changes in interest income.
The FHLBank’s potential credit risk from advances is concentrated in commercial banks, thrift institutions and credit unions, but also includes credit risk exposure to a limited number of insurance companies and housing associates. Table 14 presents information on the FHLBank’s five largest borrowers as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (in thousands). Table 15 presents the interest income associated with these advances for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands). The FHLBank had rights to collateral with an estimated fair value in excess of the book value of these advances and, therefore, does not expect to incur any credit losses on these advances.

MPF Program – The FHLBank participates in the MPF Program through the MPF Provider, which is the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. Under this program, participating members of an FHLBank either sell fixed rate, size-conforming, single-family mortgage loans to the FHLBank (closed loans) or originate these same loans on behalf of the FHLBank (table funded loans). There was a slight reduction in the MPF portfolio during 2007, as new loans acquired from in-district participating financial institutions (PFIs) were not quite enough to offset the amount of loans paid down during the three– and six–month periods ended June 30, 2007. The FHLBank devoted resources during the first six months of 2007 to increase the volume of mortgage loans acquired from in-district PFIs and is committed to increasing the volume of acquired in-district mortgage loans during the remainder of 2007. The FHLBank did not acquire any out-of-district mortgage loans during the first six months of 2007 and is unlikely to do so during the remainder of 2007 unless the relative value of fixed rate mortgage loans to its cost of funds improves significantly.

The average yield on mortgage loans for the second quarter of 2007 was 5.20 percent compared to 5.11 percent for the second quarter of 2006. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the average yield on mortgage loans was 5.21 percent and 5.13 percent, respectively. The average yield on mortgage loans increased due primarily to the increase in mortgage interest rates and a decrease in the net write-off of the amortization of premium as a result of the decline in mortgage loan prepayments and the increase in estimated lives of existing mortgage loans because of increasing mortgage interest rates. The average yield on mortgage loans is expected to remain stable or increase slightly in response to anticipated increases in market interest rates during the remainder of 2007. See Tables 4 through 7 under “Results of Operations – Net Interest Income” in this Item 2 for further information regarding average balances and yields and changes in interest income.
Asset Quality: The FHLBank classifies conventional real estate mortgage loans as “non-performing” when they are contractually past due 90 days or more and interest is no longer accrued. Interest continues to accrue on government-insured real estate mortgage loans (e.g., Federal Housing Administration, Veterans’ Affairs, USDA Guaranteed Rural Housing Section 502, and HUD Section 184 Indian Home Loan Guarantee Program loans) that are contractually past due 90 days or more. The weighted average FICO® score2 and loan-to-value ratio (LTV)3 recorded at origination for conventional mortgage loans held in portfolio at June 30, 2007 was 740.4 with a 72.2 percent LTV. The FHLBank believes it has minimal exposure to sub-prime loans due to its unique business model, conservative policies pertaining to advances collateral and investments, and reduced credit risk due to the design of its mortgage loan programs. Under the MPF Program, the FHLBank does not fund or purchase mortgage loans that are originated as sub-prime or nontraditional loans (e.g., adjustable loans with teaser rates, low FICO scores/high loan-to-values, interest-only loans, negative amortization loans, etc.). Even though the mortgage loans on its books are not classified sub-prime or nontraditional, management has added supplemental monitoring processes to review all mortgage loans where the borrower’s original FICO score was equal to or less than 660.
Table 17 presents the unpaid principal balance for conventional and government-insured mortgage loans as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (in thousands):

2   FICO® is a widely used credit industry model developed by Fair Isaac Corporation to assess borrower credit quality with scores typically ranging from 300 to 850 with the low end of the scale indicating a poor credit risk. A credit score of 620 is frequently cited as a cutoff point, with credit scores below that typically considered “sub-prime.”
 
3   LTV is a primary variable in credit performance. Generally speaking, higher loan-to-value means greater risk of loss generating a default and also means higher loss severity.

MPF Allowance for Credit Losses on Mortgage Loans: The FHLBank bases its allowance on management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the FHLBank’s mortgage loan portfolio as of the statement of condition date. The estimate is based on an analysis of industry statistics for similar mortgage loan portfolios. Management believes that policies and procedures are in place to manage the credit risk on MPF mortgage loans.

The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding was less than one basis point for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
Investments – As indicated in Table 12, total investments decreased 0.7 percent from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. Investments are generally used by the FHLBank for liquidity purposes as well as to leverage capital during periods when advances decline and capital stock is not likewise reduced. The average yield on investments was 5.35 percent during the second quarter of 2007, compared to 5.08 percent during the second quarter of 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the average yield on investments was 5.35 percent and 4.93 percent, respectively. Since the FOMC has not raised the target overnight Federal funds rate since June 2006, the average yield on the FHLBank’s investments has remained relatively stable over the past twelve months. At this time, there is considerable uncertainty about the direction of the next change in the overnight Federal funds target rate. This uncertainty, together with the continued relative flatness of at least a portion of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, resulted in a tightening of spreads between the yield on investments and the FHLBank’s cost of funds for a good portion of the first half of 2007. This could put some downward pressure on average spreads that the FHLBank realizes on its investment portfolio in future periods. See Tables 4 through 7 under “Results of Operations – Net Interest Income” in this Item 2 for further information regarding average balances and yields and changes in interest income.
Short-term investments used for liquidity purposes consisted primarily of deposits in banks, overnight and term Federal funds, and commercial paper. Short-term investments, which include investments with remaining maturities of one year or less, were $14.2 billion at June 30, 2007, compared to $14.5 billion at December 31, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in Federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase in commercial paper. The decrease in the short-term liquidity portfolios was the result of the overall reduction in assets due to a decrease in the FHLBank’s total capital during the first six months of 2007. The FHLBank’s long-term investment portfolio, consisting of U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. government agency and

43


 

government sponsored enterprise (GSE) securities, MBS/CMO and taxable state or local housing finance agency securities, increased from $7.1 billion at December 31, 2006 to $7.2 billion at June 30, 2007.
The carrying value and contractual maturity of the FHLBank’s investments as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are summarized by security type in Tables 20 and 21 (in thousands). Expected maturities of certain securities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment fees.

Deposits – The FHLBank offers deposit programs for the benefit of its members and certain other qualifying non-members. Deposit products offered include demand and overnight deposits, short-term CDs and a limited number of non-interest-bearing products. The annualized average rate paid on deposits was 5.15 percent for the second quarter of 2007 and 4.78 percent for the second quarter of 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the annualized average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 5.15 percent and 4.53 percent, respectively. The average rate paid on deposits increased in tandem with rising short-term interest rates during and between those periods. Most deposits are very short-term, and the FHLBank, as a matter of prudence, holds short-term assets with maturities similar to the deposits.
Consolidated Obligations – Consolidated obligations are the joint and several debt obligations of the 12 FHLBanks and consist of bonds and discount notes. Consolidated obligations represent the primary source of liabilities used by the FHLBank to fund advances, mortgage loans and investments. As noted under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk – Interest Rate Risk Management” under Item 3, the FHLBank uses debt with a

45


 

variety of maturities and option characteristics to manage its DOE and interest rate risk profile. The FHLBank makes extensive use of derivative transactions, executed in conjunction with specific consolidated obligation debt issues, to synthetically reconfigure funding terms and costs.
During the first six months of 2007, the FHLBank’s total consolidated obligation balances decreased as funding needs for advances, mortgage loans and investments decreased. While outstanding consolidated obligations decreased only 0.4 percent from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007 (see Table 12), the mix between discount notes and bonds changed over the period. Discount notes decreased by $1.5 billion and bonds increased by $1.3 billion from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. The reason for the change in the funding mix was that the cost relative to one- or three-month LIBOR of consolidated obligation bonds hedged with an interest rate swap was lower than the cost of discount notes with similar terms. The average annualized effective rate paid on consolidated obligations was 5.15 percent and 4.85 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the average annualized effective rates paid on consolidated obligations were 5.16 percent and 4.65 percent, respectively. The average effective rate paid on consolidated obligations increased in response to increasing market interest rates and increased volume in issuances of long-term fixed rate debt. The FHLBank has consciously increased the optionality in the liability portfolios used to fund assets with prepayment characteristics. However, during the last half of 2006 and first six months of 2007, the FHLBank shifted its investment strategy from acquiring fixed rate MBS/CMOs to purchasing adjustable rate MBS/CMOs with embedded caps. The FHLBank also began purchasing interest rate caps and swaptions as economic hedges to mitigate a portion of the cap risk embedded in the adjustable rate MBS/CMOs. Management expects that the net interest spread on its MBS/CMO portfolio, adjusted for the cost of economic hedges, may decline somewhat during the remainder of 2007 unless the widening of MBS/CMO spreads relative to the FHLBank’s cost of funds as a result of uncertainties in the sub-prime mortgage market that started late in the second quarter of 2007 and continued into the beginning of the third quarter persists. The FHLBank’s decline in MBS/CMO spreads has been the result of: (1) the extension of fixed rate MBS/CMOs coupled with the maturity of low-cost debt funding the MBS/CMO portfolio; (2) the increased costs of consolidated obligation debt with optionality relative to the yield on fixed rate and adjustable rate MBS/CMOs; and (3) the cost of caps and swaptions necessary to hedge the cap risk associated with adjustable rate MBS/CMOs. Also, with concerns about the economy and the FOMC continuing to focus on inflation, capital market expectations have changed back and forth between anticipating a decrease and expecting an increase in the Federal funds target rate within the next six to twelve months, thus driving up the cost of hedging future potential increases in interest rates through an increase in the level of volatility and, at times, an increase in the overall level of interest rates. See Tables 4 through 7 under “Results of Operations – Net Interest Income” in this Item 2 for further information on the effect of increasing interest rates on the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007.
Derivatives – All derivatives are marked to estimated fair values, netted by counterparty with any associated accrued interest 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 the FHLBank’s derivatives fluctuate as interest rates and the type/term/notional amount of outstanding derivative transactions fluctuate. See Tables 32 through 35 for detailed information regarding the notional amounts and estimated fair values (excluding accrued interest) of derivative instruments.
The notional amount of total derivatives outstanding increased from $36.1 billion at December 31, 2006 to $38.7 billion at June 30, 2007. Increases occurred in interest rate swaps executed to hedge consolidated obligations (from $23.7 billion at December 31, 2006 to $25.8 billion at June 30, 2007), caps purchased as economic hedges of the caps embedded in adjustable rate MBS/CMOs (from $1.5 billion at December 31, 2006 to $2.0 billion at June 30, 2007) and swaptions purchased as economic hedges of the extension of MBS/CMOs (from $0.0 billion at December 31, 2006 to $0.3 billion at June 30, 2007). As discussed previously in this Item 2, there was a $1.3 billion increase in consolidated obligation bonds swapped to LIBOR because of favorable funding costs compared to discount notes, which accounts for much of the increase in interest rate swaps hedging consolidated obligation bonds. Also, as reflected in Tables 32 and 34, there has been a shift in the structure of interest rate swaps hedging consolidated obligation bonds with the more complex structures (fixed rate callable step-up or step-down and complex fixed rate bonds) decreasing from $13.3 billion at December 31, 2006 to $11.7 billion at June 30, 2007 and other less-complex structures (fixed rate non-callable bonds, fixed rate callable bonds, etc.) increasing from $10.4 billion at December 31, 2006 to $14.1 billion at June 30, 2007. The decrease in the complex structures, which usually represent the most favorable funding levels, is the result of both increased competition from other GSEs for issuance of these structures and a decrease in the market demand for these more complex structures.
The notional amount serves as a factor in determining periodic interest payments or cash flows received and paid, and does not represent the actual amount exchanged or the FHLBank’s exposure to credit and market risk. The

46


 

amount potentially subject to credit loss is much less. See “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management” in this Item 2 for further information. Table 22 categorizes the notional amount and the estimated fair value of derivatives, excluding accrued interest, by product and type of accounting treatment. The “Fair Value” category represents hedge strategies qualifying for hedge accounting treatment. The “Economic” category represents hedge strategies not qualifying for hedge accounting treatment. Amounts at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are as follows (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity – To meet its mission of serving as an economical short-term and long-term funding source for its members and housing associates, the FHLBank must maintain high levels of liquidity. The FHLBank is required to maintain liquidity in accordance with certain Finance Board regulations and with policies established by management and the board of directors. The FHLBank also needs liquidity to repay maturing consolidated obligations, to meet other financial obligations and to repurchase excess capital stock at its discretion, whether upon the request of a member or at its own initiative.
A primary source of the FHLBank’s 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, the FHLBank has ready access to funding at relatively favorable spreads to U.S. Treasury rates. The FHLBank is primarily and directly liable for its portion of consolidated obligations (i.e., those obligations issued on its behalf). In addition, the FHLBank is jointly and severally liable with the other 11 FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on the consolidated obligations of all 12 FHLBanks. The Finance Board, at its discretion, may require any FHLBank to make principal or interest payments due on any consolidated obligations for which the FHLBank is not the primary obligor. Although it has never

47


 

occurred, to the extent that an FHLBank would be required to make a payment on a consolidated obligation on behalf of another FHLBank, the paying FHLBank would be entitled to reimbursement from the non-complying FHLBank. However, if the Finance Board determines that the non-complying FHLBank is unable to satisfy its obligations, then the Finance Board may allocate the non-complying FHLBank’s outstanding consolidated obligation debt 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 the Finance Board may determine.
The FHLBank’s other primary sources of liquidity include deposit inflows, repayments of advances or mortgage loans, maturing investments and interest income. Primary uses of liquidity include issuing advances, funding or purchasing mortgage loans, purchasing investments, deposit withdrawals, maturing consolidated obligations and interest expense.
Cash and short-term investments, including commercial paper, totaled $14.1 billion and $14.2 billion as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The maturities of these short-term investments are structured to provide periodic cash flows to support the FHLBank’s ongoing liquidity needs. The FHLBank also maintains a portfolio of U.S. Treasury and GSE debentures that can be pledged as collateral for financing in the repurchase/resell agreement market. U.S. Treasury and GSE investments totaled $0.7 billion and $1.0 billion in par value at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. In order to ensure that the FHLBank can take advantage of those sources of liquidity that will affect its leverage capital requirements, the FHLBank manages its average capital ratio to stay sufficiently above its minimum regulatory and RMP requirements so that it can utilize the excess capital capacity should the need arise. While the minimum regulatory total capital requirement is 4.00 percent (25:1 asset to capital leverage), and its RMP minimum is 4.04 percent (24.75:1 asset to capital leverage), the FHLBank manages capital in such a way as to keep its total capital ratio at or above 4.17 percent (24:1 asset to capital leverage). As a result, should the need arise, the FHLBank has the capacity to borrow an amount approximately equal to at least three-quarters of its current capital position before it reaches any leverage limitation as a result of the minimum regulatory or RMP capital requirements.
In addition to the balance sheet sources of liquidity discussed previously, the FHLBank has established lines of credit with numerous counterparties in the Federal funds market as well as with the other 11 FHLBanks. The FHLBank expects to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity for the foreseeable future.
Capital – Total capital consists of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, accumulated other comprehensive income and retained earnings. Total capital decreased by 1.5 percent from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007 (see Table 12). The majority of the decrease in capital is due to the FHLBank’s repurchase of excess Class B Common Stock related to redemption requests submitted by one of the FHLBank’s largest borrowers – U.S. Central Federal Credit Union.
On May 22, 2007, the FHLBank informed its stockholders that it was making a change in how excess stock would be managed in response to the Finance Board rule on excess stock that was published in the Federal Register on December 9, 2006. See Item 1 – “Legislation and Regulatory Developments – Proposed Finance Board Rules Regarding Excess Stock and Retained Earnings” in the annual report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference herein, for additional discussion. Under the change in its procedures, the FHLBank implemented: (1) a sweep of all excess Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock on May 31, 2007, thus causing each stockholder to start at the same point with no excess Class B Common Stock, and (2) a sweep of all Class B Common Stock in excess of $50,000 to Class A Common Stock on each Wednesday (or following business day if a holiday) beginning in July 2007. In addition, at the end of each quarter the FHLBank may exercise its rights under the capital plan to execute a mandatory repurchase of excess stock if there is a risk of exceeding the one percent of FHLBank assets limitation on excess stock established by the Finance Board that would prevent the FHLBank from paying its quarterly dividend in the form of capital stock. See Item 1 – “Legislation and Regulatory Developments – Proposed Finance Board Rules Regarding Excess Stock and Retained Earnings” in the annual report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference herein, for additional discussion.

The FHLBank is subject to three capital requirements under provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) Act, the Finance Board’s capital structure regulation and the FHLBank’s capital plan: (1) a risk-based capital requirement, (2) a total capital requirement and (3) a leverage capital requirement. The FHLBank was in compliance with all three capital requirements as of June 30, 2007 (see Note 10 in the Notes to Financial Statements under Item 1).
Capital Distributions – Dividends may be paid in cash or Class B Common Stock as authorized by the FHLBank’s board of directors. Quarterly dividends can be paid out of current and previously retained earnings, subject to Finance Board regulation and the FHLBank’s capital plan. Dividends were paid at average annualized rates of 6.00 percent and 5.66 percent for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The FHLBank has the ability under its capital plan 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. The current dividend parity threshold is equal to the average three-month LIBOR for a dividend period minus 100 basis points.
FHLBank management anticipates that dividend rates on Class A Common Stock will be close to or equal to the currently established dividend parity threshold for future dividend periods and that the differential between the two classes of stock will stay the same or increase slightly, subject to sufficient FHLBank earnings to meet retained earnings targets and still pay such dividends. While there is no assurance that the FHLBank’s board of directors will not change the dividend parity threshold in the future, the capital plan requires that the FHLBank 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.

1   The cash dividends listed for 2006 and 2007 represent cash dividends paid for partial shares. Stock dividends are paid in whole shares.
 
2   The FHLBank implemented SFAS 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, effective January 1, 2004. For purposes of this table, dividends paid for any shares that are mandatorily redeemable have been treated as interest expense and are not treated as dividends.
The FHLBank expects to continue paying dividends primarily in capital stock for the remainder of 2007, but this may change depending on the impact of the Finance Board rule on excess stock that was published in the Federal Register on December 9, 2006. See Item 1 – “Legislation and Regulatory Developments – Proposed Finance Board Rules Regarding Excess Stock and Retained Earnings” in the annual report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference herein, for additional discussion. If the FHLBank were to change its prior practice and pay dividends in the form of cash, it would utilize liquidity resources. Payment of cash dividends would not have a significant impact on the FHLBank’s liquidity position.
Risk Management
Proper identification, assessment and management of risks enables stakeholders to have confidence in the FHLBank’s ability to serve its members, earn a profit, compete in the industry and prosper over the long term. Active risk management continues to be an essential part of the FHLBank’s operations and a key determinant of its ability to maintain earnings to meet retained earnings targets and return a reasonable dividend to its stockholders. The FHLBank maintains comprehensive risk management processes to facilitate, control and monitor risk taking. Periodic reviews by internal auditors, Finance Board examiners and independent accountants subject the FHLBank’s practices to additional scrutiny, further strengthening the process.
Effective risk management programs include not only conformance to risk management best practices by management but also incorporate board of director oversight. The FHLBank’s board of directors plays an active role in the enterprise risk management (ERM) process by regularly reviewing risk management policies and reports on controls. In addition to the annual and business unit risk assessment reports, the board of directors reviews the RMP on at least an annual basis. Various management committees, including the Financial Risk Analysis Committee (FRAC) and the Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO), oversee the FHLBank’s risk management process. For more detailed information, see Item 7A – “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the annual report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference herein.
Credit Risk Management – Credit risk is defined as the risk that counterparties to the FHLBank’s transactions will not meet their contractual obligations. The FHLBank manages credit risk by following established policies, evaluating the creditworthiness of its counterparties and utilizing collateral agreements and settlement netting for derivative transactions. The most important step in the management of credit risk is the initial decision to extend credit. Continuous monitoring of counterparties is performed for all areas where the FHLBank is exposed to credit risk, whether that is through lending, investing or derivative activities.
The FHLBank’s credit exposure to derivative counterparties, before considering collateral, was approximately $105.4 million and $66.6 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. In determining credit exposure, the FHLBank considers accrued interest receivables and payables as well as the legal right to net swap transactions by counterparty. The FHLBank held collateral from its derivative counterparties valued at $38.8 million and $4.8 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The FHLBank’s net credit exposure after collateral was approximately $66.6 million and $61.8 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Additionally, collateral with respect to derivatives with member institutions includes collateral assigned to the FHLBank, as evidenced by a written security agreement and held by the member institution for the benefit of the FHLBank.

Liquidity Risk Management – Maintaining the ability to meet obligations as they come due and to meet the credit needs of the FHLBank’s members and housing associates in a timely and cost-efficient manner is the primary objective of managing liquidity risk. The FHLBank seeks to be in a position to meet its customers’ credit 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 defined as sources of cash from both the FHLBank’s ongoing access to the capital markets and its holding of liquid assets. The FHLBank manages its exposure to operational liquidity risk by maintaining appropriate daily average liquidity levels above the thresholds established by the RMP. The FHLBank is also required to manage its contingency liquidity needs by maintaining a daily liquidity level above certain thresholds also outlined in the RMP and by Finance Board regulations. For more detailed information, see Item 7A – “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk – Risk Management – Liquidity Risk Management” in the annual report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference herein.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the FHLBank’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make a number of judgments and assumptions that affect the FHLBank’s reported results and disclosures. Several of the FHLBank’s accounting policies are inherently subject to valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments and are more critical than others in terms of their importance to the FHLBank’s results. These assumptions and assessments include the following:
  Accounting related to derivatives;
  Fair-value determinations;
  Projecting mortgage prepayments to calculate the amortization of the deferred price components of mortgages and mortgage-related securities held in portfolio; and
  Determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.
Changes in any of the estimates and assumptions underlying the FHLBank’s critical accounting policies could have a material effect on the FHLBank’s financial statements.
The FHLBank’s accounting policies that management believes are the most critical to an understanding of the FHLBank’s 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 the annual report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference herein. There were no substantial changes to the FHLBank’s critical accounting policies and estimates during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Issuance of SFAS 157: In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (herein referred to as “SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (January 1, 2008 for the FHLBank),

52


 

and interim periods within those fiscal years. The FHLBank does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Issuance of SFAS 159: In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (herein referred to as “SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits the FHLBank to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Changes in the fair value for the selected items will be recorded in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, is irrevocable and is applied to the entire instrument. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the FHLBank’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007 (January 1, 2008 for the FHLBank). The FHLBank has not yet determined the effect that the implementation of SFAS 159 will have on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Issuance of FSP FIN 39-1: In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN 39-1 “Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39” (herein referred to as “FSP FIN 39-1”). FSP FIN 39-1 amends FASB Interpretation Number (FIN) 39 “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts – An interpretation of APB Opinion No. 10 and FASB Statement No. 105” (herein referred to as “FIN 39”), to replace the terms conditional contracts and exchange contracts with the term derivative instruments as defined in SFAS 133. FSP FIN 39-1 permits the FHLBank to offset fair value amounts recognized for cash collateral receivable or payable against fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under master netting agreements in accordance with paragraph 10 of FIN 39. FSP FIN 39-1 requires the FHLBank to consistently offset the derivative fair value and the collateral fair value. The FHLBank will be required to recognize the effects of applying FSP FIN 39-1 through retrospective application to all financial statements presented unless it is impracticable to do so. The FHLBank, upon adoption of FSP FIN 39-1, will be permitted to change its accounting policy to offset or not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments. FSP FIN 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (January 1, 2008 for the FHLBank). The FHLBank is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this statement will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Recent Developments
On March 28, 2007, the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee passed the Federal Housing Finance Reform Act of 2007 (H.R. 1427) by a vote of 45-19. It remains unclear whether any change in the regulatory structure of the FHLBanks will be signed into law and what impact such changes may have on the FHLBank if this legislation is enacted. Additionally on April 12, 2007, the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulator Reform Act of 2007 (S. 1100) was introduced in the Senate.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk Management – The FHLBank measures interest rate risk exposure by various methods, including the calculation of duration of equity and market value of equity.
Duration of Equity (DOE): DOE aggregates the estimated sensitivity of market value for each of the FHLBank’s financial assets and liabilities to changes in interest rates. In essence, DOE indicates the sensitivity of theoretical market value of equity to changes in interest rates. A positive DOE generally indicates that the FHLBank has a degree of interest rate risk exposure in a rising interest rate environment, and a negative DOE indicates a degree of interest rate risk exposure in a declining interest rate environment. Higher DOE numbers, whether positive or negative, indicate greater volatility of market value of equity in response to changing interest rates.
The FHLBank’s duration of equity for recent quarter end dates is indicated in Table 30.

The DOE for June 30, 2007 of +3.7 in the base scenario is outside management’s typical operating range of ±2.5, but is well within the board of directors’ approved limits of ±5.0. The increase in the base scenario DOE in the first six months of 2007 was primarily caused by a lengthening in the duration of the fixed rate and adjustable rate MBS/CMO and MPF portfolios as prepayment speeds declined and the weighted average lives of these portfolios extended due to an increase in interest rates, particularly in the ten-year sector where the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note increased from 4.70 percent at December 31, 2006 to 5.03 percent at June 30, 2007. Along with the increase in interest rates and the shift to a positively sloping yield curve during the period, there was also an increase in the volatility of interest rates, both of which increased the FHLBank’s risk exposure to the caps embedded in adjustable rate MBS/CMOs. FHLBank management issued long-term, fixed rate consolidated obligations and purchased out-of-the-money interest rate caps and swaptions to help offset the extension in the duration of its assets and thus ensure that DOE remains well within the approved limits, especially in the up shock scenarios. The FHLBank purchased interest rate caps and floors to partially offset the negative convexity of the FHLBank’s mortgage assets and the effects of the interest rate caps embedded in the adjustable rate CMOs acquired in the first half of the year. Management continues to closely monitor the FHLBank’s DOE and expects to take additional steps in the third quarter of 2007 to further manage the base and up-shock scenario DOEs, including the issuance of both callable and non-callable fixed rate consolidated obligations. Any asset/liability actions, such as entering into derivatives or issuing additional callable and non-callable fixed rate consolidated obligations, will be targeted to reduce the FHLBank’s overall risk profile, but over time such actions are likely to increase the FHLBank’s cost of funds and thus negatively affect its future profitability.
In calculating DOE, the FHLBank also calculates its duration gap, which is the difference between the duration of its assets and the duration of its liabilities. The FHLBank’s base duration gap was 1.8 months and 1.3 months at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The increase in duration gap during the first six months of the year was the result of the same extension of the duration of the fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgage portfolios noted previously. All 12 FHLBanks are required to submit this number to the Office of Finance as part of the quarterly reporting process created by the Finance Board. Management believes that the potential exists for duration gap to substantially understate the level of interest rate risk being taken and that DOE is a more reliable measure of the FHLBank’s interest rate risk.
Market Value of Equity: Market value of equity is the net value of the FHLBank’s assets and liabilities. Estimating sensitivity of the FHLBank’s market value of equity to changes in interest rates is another measure of interest rate risk. However, market value of equity should not be considered indicative of the market value of the FHLBank as a going concern or the value of the FHLBank in a liquidation scenario. The FHLBank maintains a market value of equity within limits specified by the board of directors in the RMP, which specifies that the market value of equity under a ±200 basis-point instantaneous shock in interest rates shall not decline by more than 15 percent from the market value of equity measured in the unchanged interest rate scenario. Table 31 expresses the market value of equity as a percent of book value of equity for the base case and for ±100 basis-point and ±200 basis-point instantaneous interest rate shock scenarios. In all cases, based on the ±200 basis-point shocks, the market value as a percent of book value equals or exceeds 85 percent of the market value of equity measured in the unchanged interest rate scenario. The decrease in this ratio in the up 200 bps shock scenario from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007 is a function of the extension of the duration of the fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgage portfolios as previously discussed. The increase in this ratio in the down 200 bps shock scenario from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007 is a function of increased interest rates, particularly in the longer end of the yield curve, the issuance of long-term, fixed rate consolidated obligations funding the fixed rate MBS and mortgage loan portfolios and the purchase of interest rate floors to hedge the negative convexity of the mortgage assets. The FHLBank was in compliance with its RMP limitation at the end of each quarter shown.

Detail of Derivative Instruments by Type of Instrument by Type of Risk: Various types of derivative instruments are utilized by the FHLBank to mitigate the interest rate risks described in the preceding section. The FHLBank currently employs 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 does not qualify for hedge accounting but is an acceptable hedging strategy under the FHLBank’s RMP. Hedges, designated as fair value or cash flow, are further evaluated to determine whether shortcut hedge accounting, as permitted under SFAS 133, paragraph 68, can be applied. For hedging relationships that do not meet the established criteria for shortcut hedge accounting, the FHLBank formally assesses (both at the hedge’s inception and monthly on an ongoing basis) whether the derivatives that are used have been highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain highly effective in future periods. The FHLBank typically uses rolling regression analyses to assess the effectiveness of its long haul hedges. See Note 15 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities in the Notes to Financial Statements in the annual report on Form 10-K for information on effectiveness methods used by the FHLBank. The FHLBank determines the hedge accounting to be applied when the hedge is entered into by completing detailed documentation, which includes a checklist with criteria for hedge accounting and additional criteria for shortcut hedge accounting.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The FHLBank’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the FHLBank in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. The FHLBank’s disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the FHLBank in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the FHLBank’s management, including its 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. In designing and evaluating the FHLBank’s disclosure controls and procedures, the FHLBank’s 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, and the FHLBank’s management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of controls and procedures.

61


 

Management of the FHLBank evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the FHLBank’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The FHLBank is subject to various pending legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the FHLBank’s financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The FHLBank owns interests in mortgage loans collateralized by properties located in Kansas and Oklahoma that were devastated by flooding from May through July 2007. The total principal amount outstanding for mortgage loans in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) declared disaster areas, as outlined in FEMA-1711-DR and FEMA-1712-DR, as of June 30, 2007 is $101,886,000. While the FHLBank has not yet determined if any of the residences securing these mortgage loans were damaged in the flooding and, if so, whether the properties were covered by flood insurance, it is possible that the FHLBank may incur losses on some of these mortgage loans; however, we are unable to ascertain the extent of those losses at this time. Management does not anticipate any related losses on these mortgage loans to significantly impact the FHLBank’s financial condition or results of operations.
For a discussion of additional risks applicable to the FHLBank, see Item 1A – “Risk Factors” in the annual report on Form 10-K, incorporated by reference herein. Except for the specific risk related to potential damage to certain property, which is collateral of the FHLBank, due to flooding in Kansas and Oklahoma, as described above, there were no material changes during the quarter in the Risk Factors described in the annual report on Form 10-K.
