FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF CINCINNATI

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Background Information

The Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (the FHLBank), a federally chartered corporation, is one of 12 District Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks). The FHLBanks serve the public by enhancing the availability of credit for residential mortgages and targeted community development. The FHLBank is regulated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (Finance Agency).

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim financial statements of the FHLBank have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates. These assumptions and estimates affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The interim financial statements presented are unaudited, but they include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for such periods. These financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the FHLBank's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Results for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.

The FHLBank presents certain financial instruments, including derivative instruments and securities purchased under agreements to resell, on a net basis when it has a legal right of offset and all other requirements for netting are met (collectively referred to as the netting requirements). For these instruments, the FHLBank has elected to offset its asset and liability positions, as well as cash collateral received or pledged, when it has met the netting requirements. The FHLBank did not have any offsetting liabilities related to its securities purchased under agreements to resell for the periods presented.

The net exposure for these financial instruments can change on a daily basis; therefore, there may be a delay between the time this exposure change is identified and additional collateral is requested, and the time this collateral is received or pledged. Likewise, there may be a delay for excess collateral to be returned. For derivative instruments that meet the requirements for netting, any excess cash collateral received or pledged is recognized as a derivative liability or derivative asset. Additional information regarding these agreements is provided in Note 10. Based on the fair value of the related collateral held, the securities purchased under agreements to resell were fully collateralized for the periods presented. For more information about the FHLBank's investments in securities purchased under agreements to resell, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the FHLBank's 2013 Form 10-K.

The FHLBank has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure through the issuance of these financial statements and believes there have been no material subsequent events requiring additional disclosure or recognition in these financial statements.

Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations

Repurchase-to Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. On June 12, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amended guidance for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as repurchase financings. Specifically, this guidance requires entities to account for (1) repurchase-to-maturity transactions as secured borrowings rather than as sales with forward repurchase agreements; and (2) repurchase agreements executed contemporaneously with the initial transfer of the underlying financial asset with the same counterparty as separate transactions only. In addition, this guidance requires a transferor to disclose additional information about certain transactions, including those in which it retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic returns of the underlying transferred asset over the transaction’s term. This guidance becomes effective for the FHLBank for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. The changes in accounting for transactions outstanding on the effective date are required to be presented

9

on a cumulative-effect approach. The FHLBank is in the process of evaluating this guidance, but its effect on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows is not expected to be material.

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

Joint and Several Liability Arrangements. On February 28, 2013, the FASB issued guidance for recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date. This guidance requires an entity to measure these obligations as the sum of (1) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and (2) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. This guidance became effective for the FHLBank beginning on January 1, 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not effect the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Framework for Adversely Classifying Loans, Other Real Estate Owned, and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention. On April 9, 2012, the Finance Agency issued an advisory bulletin that establishes a standard and uniform methodology for adverse classification and identification of special mention assets and off-balance sheet credit exposures at the FHLBanks, excluding investment securities. The adverse classification requirements were implemented as of January 1, 2014; this implementation did not have a material effect on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The charge-off requirements should be implemented no later than January 1, 2015. The FHLBank is currently assessing the charge-off provisions of this advisory bulletin and has not yet determined the effect, if any, that this guidance will have on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Realized Gains and Losses. From time to time the FHLBank may sell securities out of its held-to-maturity portfolio. These securities, generally, have less than 15 percent of the acquired principal outstanding at the time of the sale. These sales are considered maturities for the purposes of security classification. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013, the FHLBank did not sell any held-to-maturity securities.

Note 6 - Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Analysis

The FHLBank evaluates its individual available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities holdings in an unrealized loss position for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. As part of its evaluation for other-than-temporary impairment, the FHLBank considers its intent to sell each debt security and whether it is more likely than not that the FHLBank will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, the FHLBank recognizes an other-than-temporary impairment in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security's amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. For securities in unrealized loss positions that meet neither of these conditions, the FHLBank performs analyses to determine if any of these securities are other-than-temporarily impaired.

For its other U.S. obligations and GSE investments (mortgage-backed securities and non-mortgage-backed securities), the FHLBank determined that the strength of the issuers' guarantees through direct obligations or support from the U.S. government is sufficient to protect the FHLBank from losses based on current expectations. As a result, the FHLBank determined that, as of June 30, 2014, all of the gross unrealized losses on these investments were temporary as the declines in market value of these securities were not attributable to credit quality. Furthermore, the FHLBank does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not more likely than not that the FHLBank will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases. As a result, the FHLBank did not consider any of these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2014.

The FHLBank also reviewed its available-for-sale securities that have experienced unrealized losses at June 30, 2014 and determined that the unrealized losses were temporary, based on the creditworthiness of the issuers and the related collateral characteristics, and that the FHLBank will recover its entire amortized cost basis. Additionally, because the FHLBank does not intend to sell these securities, nor is it more likely than not that the FHLBank will be required to sell the securities before recovery, it did not consider the investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2014.

The FHLBank did not consider any of its investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2013.

Note 7 - Advances

The FHLBank offers a wide range of fixed- and variable-rate Advance products with different maturities, interest rates, payment characteristics and optionality. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the FHLBank had Advances outstanding, including Affordable Housing Program (AHP) Advances (see Note 13), at interest rates ranging from 0.00 percent to 9.20 percent. Advances with interest rates of 0.00 percent are AHP Advances. The following table presents Advance redemptions by contractual maturity, including index-amortizing Advances, which are presented according to their predetermined amortization schedules.

The FHLBank offers Advances to members that may be prepaid on specified dates (call dates) without incurring prepayment or termination fees (callable Advances). In exchange for receiving the right to call the Advance on a predetermined call schedule, the member typically pays a higher rate for the Advance relative to an equivalent maturity, non-callable Advance. If the call option is exercised, replacement funding may be available. Other Advances may only be prepaid subject to a prepayment fee paid to the FHLBank that makes the FHLBank financially indifferent to the prepayment of the Advance. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the FHLBank had callable Advances (in thousands) of $11,921,489 and $10,072,203.

The FHLBank also offers putable Advances. With a putable Advance, the FHLBank effectively purchases put options from the member that allows the FHLBank to terminate the Advance at predetermined dates. The FHLBank normally would exercise its option when interest rates increase relative to contractual rates. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the FHLBank had putable Advances, excluding those where the related put options have expired, totaling (in thousands) $2,090,900 and $2,146,400.

Note 9 - Allowance for Credit Losses

The FHLBank has established an allowance methodology for each of the FHLBank's portfolio segments: credit products; FHA mortgage loans held for portfolio; and conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio.

Credit products

The FHLBank manages its credit exposure to credit products through an integrated approach that includes establishing a credit limit for each borrower, includes an ongoing review of each borrower's financial condition and is coupled with detailed collateral and lending policies to limit risk of loss while balancing borrowers' needs for a reliable source of funding. In addition, the FHLBank lends to eligible borrowers in accordance with federal statutes, including the Federal Home Loan Bank Act (FHLBank Act), and Finance Agency Regulations, which require the FHLBank to obtain sufficient collateral to fully secure credit products. The estimated value of the collateral required to secure each member's credit products is calculated by applying collateral discounts, or haircuts, to the value of the collateral. The FHLBank accepts certain investment securities, residential mortgage loans, deposits, and other real estate related assets as collateral. In addition, community financial institutions (CFIs) are eligible to utilize expanded statutory collateral provisions for small business and agriculture loans. The FHLBank's capital stock owned by its member borrower is also pledged as collateral. Collateral arrangements and a member’s borrowing capacity vary based on the financial condition and performance of the institution, the types of collateral pledged and the overall quality of those assets. The FHLBank can also require additional or substitute collateral to protect its security interest. Management of the FHLBank believes that these policies effectively manage the FHLBank's credit risk from credit products.

Members experiencing financial difficulties are subject to FHLBank-performed “stress tests” of the impact of poorly performing assets on the member’s capital and loss reserve positions. Depending on the results of these tests and the level of overcollateralization, a member may be allowed to maintain pledged loan assets in its custody, may be required to deliver those loans into the custody of the FHLBank or its agent, and/or may be required to provide details on these loans to facilitate an estimate of their fair value. The FHLBank perfects its security interest in all pledged collateral. The FHLBank Act affords any security interest granted to the FHLBank by a member priority over the claims or rights of any other party except for claims or rights of a third party that would be entitled to priority under otherwise applicable law and that are held by a bona fide purchaser for value or by a secured party holding a prior perfected security interest.

Using a risk-based approach, the FHLBank considers the payment status, collateralization levels, and borrower's financial condition to be indicators of credit quality for its credit products. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the FHLBank had rights to collateral on a member-by-member basis with an estimated value in excess of its outstanding extensions of credit.

17

The FHLBank evaluates and makes changes to its collateral guidelines, as necessary, based on current market conditions. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the FHLBank did not have any Advances that were past due, in non-accrual status, or impaired. In addition, there were no troubled debt restructurings related to credit products of the FHLBank during the six months endedJune 30, 2014 or 2013.

The FHLBank has not experienced any credit losses on Advances since it was founded in 1932. Based upon the collateral held as security, its credit extension and collateral policies, management's credit analysis and the repayment history on credit products, the FHLBank did not record any credit losses on credit products as of June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. Accordingly, the FHLBank did not record any allowance for credit losses on Advances.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no liability to reflect an allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures was recorded. See Note 19 for additional information on the FHLBank's off-balance sheet credit exposure.

MortgageLoans Held for Portfolio- FHA

The FHLBank invests in fixed-rate mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties insured by the FHA. Any losses from such loans are expected to be recovered from the FHA. Any losses from these loans that are not recovered from the FHA would be due to a claim rejection by the FHA and, as such, would be recoverable from the selling participating financial institutions (PFIs). Therefore, the FHLBank only has credit risk for these loans if the seller or servicer fails to pay for losses not covered by insurance. As a result, the FHLBank did not establish an allowance for credit losses on its FHA insured mortgage loans. Furthermore, due to the insurance, none of these mortgage loans have been placed on non-accrual status.

Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio - Conventional Mortgage Purchase Program (MPP)

The allowance for conventional loans is determined by analyses that include consideration of various data observations such as past performance, current performance, loan portfolio characteristics, collateral-related characteristics, industry data, and prevailing economic conditions. The measurement of the allowance for credit losses consists of: (1) collectively evaluating homogeneous pools of residential mortgage loans; (2) reviewing specifically identified loans for impairment; and (3) considering other relevant qualitative factors.

Collectively Evaluated Mortgage Loans. The credit risk analysis of conventional loans evaluated collectively for impairment considers historical delinquency migration, applies estimated loss severities, and incorporates the associated credit enhancements in order to determine the FHLBank's best estimate of probable incurred losses at the reporting date. The credit risk analysis of all conventional mortgage loans is performed at the individual Master Commitment Contract level to properly determine the credit enhancements available to recover losses on loans under each individual Master Commitment Contract. The Master Commitment Contract is an agreement with a member in which the member agrees to make every attempt to sell a specific dollar amount of loans to the FHLBank over a one-year period. Migration analysis is a methodology for determining, through the FHLBank's experience over a historical period, the rate of default on loans. The FHLBank applies migration analysis to loans based on payment status categories such as current, 30, 60, and 90 days past due. The FHLBank then estimates, based on historical experience, how many loans in these categories may migrate to a loss realization event and applies a current loss severity to estimate losses. The estimated losses are then reduced by the probable cash flows resulting from credit enhancements available. Any credit enhancement cash flows that are projected and assessed as not probable of receipt do not reduce estimated losses.

Individually Evaluated Mortgage Loans. Conventional mortgage loans that are considered troubled debt restructurings are specifically identified for purposes of calculating the allowance for credit losses. The FHLBank measures impairment of these specifically identified loans by either estimating the present value of expected cash flows, estimating the loan's observable market price, or estimating the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Specifically identified loans evaluated for impairment are removed from the collectively evaluated mortgage loan population.

Qualitative Factors. The FHLBank also assesses other qualitative factors in its estimation of loan losses for the collectively evaluated population. This amount represents a subjective management judgment, based on facts and circumstances that exist as of the reporting date, that is intended to cover other incurred losses that may not otherwise be captured in the methodology described above.

Rollforward of Allowance for Credit Losses on Mortgage Loans. The following tables present a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses on conventional mortgage loans as well as the recorded investment in mortgage loans by impairment methodology. The recorded investment in a loan is the unpaid principal balance of the loan adjusted for accrued interest,

unamortized premiums or discounts, hedging basis adjustments and direct write-downs. The recorded investment is not net of any allowance.

Credit Enhancements. The conventional mortgage loans under the MPP are supported by some combination of credit enhancements (primary mortgage insurance (PMI), supplemental mortgage insurance (SMI) and the Lender Risk Account (LRA), including pooled LRA for those members participating in an aggregated MPP pool). The amount of credit enhancements needed to protect the FHLBank against credit losses is determined through use of a third-party default model. These credit enhancements apply after a homeowner's equity is exhausted. Beginning in February 2011, the FHLBank discontinued the use of SMI for all new loan purchases and replaced it with expanded use of the LRA. The LRA is funded by the FHLBank as a portion of the purchase proceeds to cover expected losses. Excess funds over required balances are distributed to the member in accordance with a step-down schedule that is established upon execution of a Master Commitment Contract, subject to performance of the related loan pool. The LRA established for a pool of loans is limited to only covering losses of that specific pool of loans.

(3) Each conventional loan past due 90 days or more still accruing interest is on a schedule/scheduled monthly settlement basis and contains one or more credit enhancements. Loans that are well secured and in the process of collection as a result of remaining credit enhancements and schedule/scheduled settlement are not placed on non-accrual status.

The FHLBank did not have any real estate owned at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Troubled Debt Restructurings. A troubled debt restructuring is considered to have occurred when a concession is granted to a borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties and that concession would not have been considered otherwise. The FHLBank's troubled debt restructurings primarily involve loans where an agreement permits the recapitalization of past due amounts up to the original loan amount and certain loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The FHLBank had 46 and 42 modified loans considered troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

20

A loan considered a troubled debt restructuring is individually evaluated for impairment when determining its related allowance for credit losses. Credit loss is measured by factoring in expected cash shortfalls (i.e., loss severity rate) incurred as of the reporting date.

Table 9.5 - Recorded Investment in Troubled Debt Restructurings (in thousands)

Troubled debt restructurings:	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Conventional MPP Loans	$	8,055	$	7,799

Due to the minimal change in terms of modified loans (i.e., no principal forgiven), the FHLBank's pre-modification recorded investment was not materially different than the post-modification recorded investment in troubled debt restructurings.

Certain conventional MPP loans that were modified within the previous 12 months and considered troubled debt restructurings experienced a payment default as noted in the table below. A borrower is considered to have defaulted on a troubled debt restructuring if the borrower's contractually due principal or interest is 60 days or more past due at any time during the periods presented.

Modified loans that subsequently default may recognize a higher probability of loss when calculating the allowance for credit losses.

Individually Evaluated Impaired Loans. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, only certain conventional MPP loans individually evaluated for impairment required an allowance for credit losses. Table 9.7 presents the recorded investment, unpaid principal balance, and related allowance associated with these loans.

Note 10 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Nature of Business Activity

The FHLBank is exposed to interest rate risk primarily from the effect of interest rate changes on its interest-earning assets and on the funding sources that finance these assets. The goal of the FHLBank's interest-rate risk management strategy is not to eliminate interest-rate risk, but to manage it within appropriate limits. To mitigate the risk of loss, the FHLBank has established policies and procedures, which include guidelines on the amount of exposure to interest rate changes it is willing to accept. In addition, the FHLBank monitors the risk to its interest income, net interest margin and average maturity of interest-earning assets and funding sources.

The FHLBank transacts most of its derivatives with large banks and major broker-dealers. Some of these banks and broker-dealers or their affiliates buy, sell, and distribute Consolidated Obligations. Derivative transactions may be either executed with a counterparty (bilateral derivatives) or cleared through a Futures Commission Merchant (i.e., clearing agent), with a Derivative Clearing Organization (cleared derivatives).

Once a derivative transaction has been accepted for clearing by a Derivative Clearing Organization (Clearinghouse), the derivative transaction is novated and the executing counterparty is replaced with the Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse notifies the clearing agent of the required initial and variation margin and the clearing agent notifies the FHLBank of the required initial and variation margin.

Consistent with Finance Agency Regulations, the FHLBank enters into derivatives to manage the interest rate risk exposures inherent in otherwise unhedged assets and funding positions, to achieve the FHLBank's risk management objectives and to act as an intermediary between its members and counterparties. The use of derivatives is an integral part of the FHLBank's financial management strategy. However, Finance Agency Regulations and the FHLBank's financial management policy prohibit trading in, or the speculative use of, derivative instruments and limit credit risk arising from them.

The most common ways in which the FHLBank uses derivatives are to:

▪ reduce the interest rate sensitivity and repricing gaps of assets and liabilities;

▪ manage embedded options in assets and liabilities;

▪ reduce funding costs by combining a derivative with a Consolidated Obligation Bond, as the cost of a combined funding structure can be lower than the cost of a comparable Consolidated Obligation Bond;

22

▪ preserve a favorable interest rate spread between the yield of an asset (e.g., an Advance) and the cost of the related liability (e.g., the Consolidated Obligation Bond used to fund the Advance); without the use of derivatives, this interest rate spread could be reduced or eliminated when a change in the interest rate on the Advance does not match a change in the interest rate on the Bond; and

▪ protect the value of existing asset or liability positions.

Types of Derivatives

The FHLBank may enter into interest rate swaps (including callable and putable swaps), swaptions, interest rate cap and floor agreements, calls, puts, futures, and forward contracts to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates.

An interest rate swap is an agreement between two entities to exchange cash flows in the future. The agreement sets the dates on which the cash flows will be paid and the manner in which the cash flows will be calculated. One of the simplest forms of an interest rate swap involves the promise by one party to pay cash flows equivalent to the interest on a notional principal amount at a predetermined fixed rate for a given period of time. In return for this promise, this party receives cash flows equivalent to the interest on the same notional principal amount at a variable-rate index for the same period of time. The variable-rate transacted by the FHLBank in its derivatives is the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).

Application of Interest Rate Swaps

The FHLBank generally uses derivatives as fair value hedges of underlying financial instruments. However, because the FHLBank uses interest rate swaps when they are considered to be the most cost-effective alternative to achieve the FHLBank's financial and risk management objectives, it may enter into interest rate swaps that do not necessarily qualify for hedge accounting (economic hedges). The FHLBank re-evaluates its hedging strategies from time to time and may change the hedging techniques it uses or adopt new strategies.

Types of Hedged Items

The FHLBank documents at inception all relationships between derivatives designated as hedging instruments and the hedged items, its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions, and its method of assessing effectiveness. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to assets and liabilities on the Statements of Condition. The FHLBank also formally assesses (both at the hedge's inception and at least quarterly) whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain effective in future periods. The FHLBank currently uses regression analyses to assess the effectiveness of its hedges.The types of assets and liabilities currently hedged with derivatives are:

▪ Consolidated Obligations

▪ Advances

▪ Firm Commitments

Financial Statement Effect and Additional Financial Information

The notional amount of derivatives serves as a factor in determining periodic interest payments or cash flows received and paid. The notional amount reflects the FHLBanks' involvement in the various classes of financial instruments and represents neither the actual amounts exchanged nor the overall exposure of the FHLBank to credit and market risk; the overall risk is much smaller. The risks of derivatives only can be measured meaningfully on a portfolio basis that takes into account the derivatives, the items being hedged and any offsets between the derivatives and the items being hedged.

23

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities

The FHLBank presents derivative instruments, related cash collateral, including initial and variation margin, received or pledged, and associated accrued interest, on a net basis by clearing agent and/or by counterparty when it has met the netting requirements.

Table 10.4 presents separately the fair value of derivative instruments meeting or not meeting netting requirements, including the related collateral received from or pledged to counterparties. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the FHLBank did not receive or pledge any non-cash collateral. Any overcollateralization under an individual clearing agent and/or counterparty level is not included in the determination of the net unsecured amount.

Managing Credit Risk on Derivatives

The FHLBank is subject to credit risk due to the risk of nonperformance by counterparties to its derivative transactions, and manages credit risk through credit analysis, collateral requirements and adherence to the requirements set forth in its policies, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations, and Finance Agency regulations. For bilateral derivatives, the

27

degree of credit risk depends on the extent to which master netting arrangements are included in these contracts to mitigate the risk. The FHLBank requires collateral agreements with collateral delivery thresholds on the majority of its bilateral derivatives.

For cleared derivatives, the Clearinghouse is the FHLBank's counterparty. The requirement that the FHLBank post initial and variation margin through the clearing agent, to the Clearinghouse, exposes the FHLBank to credit risk if the clearing agent or the Clearinghouse fails to meet its obligations. The use of cleared derivatives is intended to mitigate credit risk exposure because a central counterparty is substituted for individual counterparties and collateral is posted daily through a clearing agent, for changes in the value of cleared derivatives.

The FHLBank has analyzed the enforceability of offsetting rights incorporated in its cleared derivative transactions and determined that the exercise of those offsetting rights by a non-defaulting party under these transactions should be upheld under applicable law upon an event of default including bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceeding involving the Clearinghouse or the FHLBank's clearing agent, or both. Based on this analysis, the FHLBank presents a net derivative receivable or payable for all of its transactions through a particular clearing agent with a particular Clearinghouse.

Certain of the FHLBank's bilateral interest rate swap contracts contain provisions that require the FHLBank to post additional collateral with its counterparties if there is deterioration in the FHLBank's credit ratings. The aggregate fair value of all bilateral interest rate swaps with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position at June 30, 2014 was (in thousands) $162,035, for which the FHLBank had posted collateral with a fair value of (in thousands) $92,745 in the normal course of business.

If one of the FHLBank's credit ratings had been lowered to the next lower rating that would have triggered additional collateral to be delivered, the FHLBank would have been required to deliver up to an additional (in thousands) $13,157 of collateral at fair value to its derivatives counterparties at June 30, 2014.

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

Note 16 - Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

Qualified Defined Benefit Multi-employer Plan. The FHLBank participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan), a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan. Under the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan, contributions made by one participating employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers because assets contributed by an employer are not segregated in a separate account or restricted to provide benefits only to employees of that employer. Also, in the event a participating employer is unable to meet its contribution requirements, the required contributions for the other participating employers could increase proportionately. The Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan covers substantially all officers and employees of the FHLBank who meet certain eligibility requirements. Contributions to the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan charged to compensation and benefit expense were $1,529,000 and $1,229,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $3,058,000 and $2,458,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Qualified Defined Contribution Plan. The FHLBank also participates in the Pentegra Defined Contribution Plan for Financial Institutions, a tax-qualified, defined contribution pension plan. The FHLBank contributes a percentage of the participants' compensation by making a matching contribution equal to a percentage of voluntary employee contributions, subject to certain limitations. The FHLBank contributed $184,000 and $172,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $557,000, and $524,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Nonqualified Supplemental Defined Benefit Retirement Plan. The FHLBank maintains a nonqualified, unfunded defined benefit plan. The plan ensures that participants receive the full amount of benefits to which they would have been entitled under the qualified defined benefit plan in the absence of limits on benefit levels imposed by the IRS. There are no funded plan assets. The FHLBank has established a grantor trust, which is included in held-to-maturity securities on the Statements of Condition, to meet future benefit obligations and current payments to beneficiaries.

Postretirement Benefits Plan. The FHLBank also sponsors a postretirement benefits plan that includes health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees. Future retirees are eligible for the postretirement benefits plan if they were hired prior to August 1, 1990, are age 55 or older, and their age plus years of continuous service at retirement are greater than or equal to 80. Spouses are covered subject to required contributions. There are no funded plan assets that have been designated to provide postretirement benefits.

Note 18 - Fair Value Disclosures

The fair value amounts recorded on the Statements of Condition and presented in the related note disclosures have been determined by the FHLBank using available market information and the FHLBank's best judgment of appropriate valuation methods. The fair values reflect the FHLBank's judgment of how a market participant would estimate the fair values.

Fair Value Hierarchy. The FHLBank records trading securities, available-for-sale securities, derivative assets, derivative liabilities and certain Consolidated Obligation Bonds at fair value on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The inputs are evaluated and an overall level for the measurement is determined. This overall level is an indication of how market observable the fair value measurement is. An entity must disclose the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements are classified.

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

Level 1 Inputs - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the reporting entity can access on the measurement date.

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

Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The FHLBank reviews the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in/out at fair value as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occur. The FHLBank did not have any transfers of assets or liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis during the six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.

These values do not represent an estimate of the overall market value of the FHLBank as a going concern, which would take into account future business opportunities and the net profitability of assets versus liabilities.

Summary of Valuation Methodologies and Primary Inputs.

A description of the valuation methodologies and primary inputs is disclosed in Note 19 - Fair Value Disclosures in the FHLBank's 2013 Form 10-K. Below is the valuation methodology that has been enhanced during 2014.

Consolidated Obligation Bonds:

The FHLBank determines the fair values of certain Consolidated Obligation Bonds by calculating the present value of scheduled future cash flows from the bonds excluding accrued interest. Inputs used to determine fair value of these Consolidated Obligation Bonds are the discount rates, which are estimated current market yields, as indicated by the Office of Finance, for bonds with similar current terms. 

The FHLBank determines the fair values of other Consolidated Obligation Bonds based on pricing received from designated third-party pricing vendors. The pricing vendors used apply various proprietary models to price Consolidated Obligation Bonds. The inputs to those models are derived from various sources including, but not limited to, benchmark yields, reported trades, dealer estimates, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and other market-related data. Since many Consolidated Obligation Bonds do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing vendors use available information, as applicable, such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing to determine the prices for

38

individual Consolidated Obligation Bonds. Each pricing vendor has an established challenge process in place for all valuations, which facilitates resolution of potentially erroneous prices identified by the FHLBank.

When pricing vendors are used, the FHLBank's valuation technique first requires the establishment of a “median” price for each Consolidated Obligation Bond. If four prices are received, the average of the middle two prices is the median price; if three prices are received, the middle price is the median price; if two prices are received, the average of the two prices is the median price; and if one price is received, it is the median price (and also the final price) subject to validation of outliers. All prices that are within a specified tolerance threshold of the median price are included in the “cluster” of prices that are averaged to compute a “default” price.

All prices that are outside the threshold (“outliers”) are subject to further analysis (including, but not limited to, comparison to prices provided by an additional third-party valuation service, prices for similar securities, non-binding dealer estimates, and/or use of an internal model that is deemed most appropriate) to determine if an outlier is a better estimate of fair value. If an outlier (or some other price identified in the analysis) is determined to be a better estimate of fair value, then the outlier (or the other price as appropriate) is used as the final price rather than the default price. Alternatively, if the analysis confirms that an outlier is in fact not representative of fair value and the default price is the best estimate, then the default price is used as the final price. In all cases, the final price is used to determine the fair value of the security.

If all prices received for a Consolidated Obligation Bond are outside the tolerance threshold level of the median price, then there is no default price, and the final price is determined by an evaluation of all outlier prices as described above.

Four vendor prices were received for the FHLBank's Consolidated Obligation Bonds and the final prices for those bonds were computed by averaging the prices received. Based on the FHLBank's review of the pricing methods and controls employed by the third-party pricing vendors and the relative lack of dispersion among the vendor prices, the FHLBank believes its final prices result in reasonable estimates of fair value and that the fair value measurements are classified appropriately in the fair value hierarchy.

The FHLBank has conducted reviews of its pricing vendors to confirm and further augment its understanding of the vendors' pricing processes, methodologies and control procedures for Consolidated Obligation Bonds.

Fair Value Option. The fair value option provides an irrevocable option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets, financial liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments, and written loan commitments not previously carried at fair value. It requires a company to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which it has chosen to use fair value on the face of the Statements of Condition. Fair value is used for both the initial and subsequent measurement of the designated assets, liabilities and commitments, with the changes in fair value recognized in net income. If elected, interest income and interest expense on Advances and Consolidated Bonds carried at fair value are recognized based solely on the contractual amount of interest due or unpaid and any transaction fees or costs are immediately recognized into other non-interest income or other non-interest expense. Additionally, concessions paid on Consolidated Obligations designated under the fair value option are expensed as incurred in other non-interest expense.

The FHLBank has elected the fair value option for certain Consolidated Obligation Bond transactions. The FHLBank elected the fair value option for these transactions so as to mitigate the income statement volatility that can arise when only the corresponding derivatives are marked at fair value in transactions that do not, or may not, meet hedge effectiveness requirements or otherwise qualify for hedge accounting (i.e., economic hedging transactions).

The remaining changes in fair value for instruments in which the fair value option has been elected are recorded as “Net (losses) gains on Consolidated Obligation Bonds held under fair value option” in the Statements of Income. The FHLBank has determined that no adjustments to the fair values of its instruments recorded under the fair value option for instrument-specific credit risk were necessary as of June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Legal Proceedings. From time to time, the FHLBank is subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In March 2010, the FHLBank was advised by representatives of the Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. bankruptcy estate that they believed that the FHLBank had been unjustly enriched in connection with the close out of its interest rate swap transactions with Lehman at the time of the Lehman bankruptcy in 2008 and that the bankruptcy estate was entitled to the $43 million difference between the settlement amount the FHLBank paid Lehman in connection with the close-out transactions and the market value payment the FHLBank received when replacing the swaps with other counterparties. In May 2010, the FHLBank received a Derivatives Alternative Dispute Resolution notice from the Lehman bankruptcy estate with a settlement demand of $65.8 million, plus interest accruing primarily at LIBOR plus 14.5 percent since the bankruptcy filing, based on their view of how the settlement amount should have been calculated. In accordance with the Alternative Dispute Resolution Order of the Bankruptcy Court administering the Lehman estate, senior management of the FHLBank participated in a non-binding mediation in New York in August 2010, and counsel for the FHLBank continued discussions with the court-appointed mediator for several weeks thereafter. The mediation concluded in October 2010 without a settlement of the claims asserted by the Lehman bankruptcy estate. In April 2013 Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc., through Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and the Plan Administrator under the Modified Third Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and Its Affiliated Debtors, filed an adversary complaint in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York against the FHLBank seeking (a) a declaratory judgment on the interpretation of certain provisions and the calculation of amounts due under the agreement governing the 2008 swap transactions described above, and (b) additional amounts alleged as due as part of the termination of such transactions. The FHLBank believes that it correctly calculated, and fully satisfied its obligation to Lehman in September 2008, and the FHLBank intends to vigorously defend itself.

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

Note 20 - Transactions with Other FHLBanks

The FHLBank notes all transactions with other FHLBanks on the face of its financial statements. Occasionally, the FHLBank loans short-term funds to and borrows short-term funds from other FHLBanks. These loans and borrowings are transacted at then current market rates when traded. There were no such loans or borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. The following table details the average daily balance of lending and borrowing between the FHLBank and other FHLBanks for the six months endedJune 30, 2014 and 2013.

Table 20.1 - Lending and Borrowing Between the FHLBank and Other FHLBanks (in thousands)

	Average Daily Balances for the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013
Loans to other FHLBanks	$	166	$	4,779
Borrowings from other FHLBanks	—		8,287

The FHLBank may, from time to time, assume the outstanding primary liability for Consolidated Obligations of another FHLBank (at then current market rates on the day when the transfer is traded) rather than issuing new debt for which the FHLBank is the primary obligor. The FHLBank then becomes the primary obligor on the transferred debt. There were no Consolidated Obligations transferred to the FHLBank during the six months endedJune 30, 2014 or 2013. The FHLBank had no Consolidated Obligations transferred to other FHLBanks during these periods.

Note 21 - Transactions with Stockholders

Transactions with Directors' Financial Institutions. In the ordinary course of its business, the FHLBank may provide products and services to members whose officers or directors serve as directors of the FHLBank (Directors' Financial Institutions). Finance Agency Regulations require that transactions with Directors' Financial Institutions be made on the same terms as those with any other member. The following table reflects balances with Directors' Financial Institutions for the items indicated below.

Nonmember Affiliates. The FHLBank has relationships with three nonmember affiliates, the Kentucky Housing Corporation, the Ohio Housing Finance Agency and the Tennessee Housing Development Agency. The FHLBank had no investments in or borrowings to any of these nonmember affiliates at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. The FHLBank has executed standby bond purchase agreements with one state housing authority whereby the FHLBank, for a fee, agrees as a liquidity provider if required, to purchase and hold the authority's bonds until the designated marketing agent can find a suitable investor or the housing authority repurchases the bond according to a schedule established by the standby agreement. During the first six months of 2014 and 2013, the FHLBank was not required to purchase any bonds under these agreements.

In the first six months of 2014, the FHLBank fulfilled its mission by providing readily available and competitively priced wholesale funding to its member financial institutions, supporting its commitment to affordable housing, and paying stockholders a competitive dividend return on their capital investment. The vast majority of our members continued to have modest demand for new Advance borrowings due to measured economic growth and significant amounts of liquidity available to members as a result of the actions of the Federal Reserve System.

Total assets at June 30, 2014decreased$1.9 billion (two percent) from year-end 2013. Average asset balances were $12.7 billion (14 percent) higher in the first six months of 2014 than the same period of 2013. The balance of Mission Asset Activity – comprising Advances, Letters of Credit, and total MPP – was $91.9 billion at June 30, 2014, an increase of $6.6 billion (eight percent) from year-end 2013. Mission Asset Activity on this date constituted 83 percent of adjusted Consolidated Obligations (which equal Obligations plus Letters of Credit and Mandatory Delivery Contracts), above the 80 percent internal benchmark we have established.

The growth in Mission Asset Activity from year-end 2013 to June 30, 2014 was led by a $4.2 billion (seven percent) increase in the principal balance of Advances primarily from several larger members. There was also a moderate broad-based increase in the number of members that grew their Advance balances in the first six months of 2014. Average Advance principal balances in the first six months of 2014increased$7.3 billion (12 percent) from the first six months of 2013, primarily from expansion of lending to one larger member. As of June 30, 2014, members funded on average 3.3 percent of their assets with Advances, and the penetration rate was relatively stable over the last year with 65-70 percent of members holding Mission Asset Activity.

The principal balance of mortgage loans held for portfolio at June 30, 2014fell$0.1 billion (two percent) from year-end 2013. The decline reflected principal paydowns and lack of purchase activity, especially from larger sellers, due to the stagnation in the refinancing market. During the first six months of 2014, we purchased $0.4 billion of mortgage loans, while principal paydowns totaled $0.5 billion. Residual credit risk exposure in the mortgage loan portfolio continued to be moderate and manageable. The allowance for credit losses in the MPP decreased to $6 million at June 30, 2014.

Based on earnings in the first two quarters of 2014, we contributed $13 million to the Affordable Housing Program pool of funds to be awarded to members in 2015. In addition, we continued our voluntary sponsorship of two other housing programs which provide resources to pay for accessibility rehabilitation and emergency repairs for special needs and elderly homeowners and to help members aid their communities following natural disasters.

Investments

The balance of investments at June 30, 2014 was $24.7 billion, an increase of $2.4 billion (11 percent) from year-end 2013.

At June 30, 2014, investments included $15.6 billion of mortgage-backed securities and $9.1 billion of other investments, which are mostly short-term instruments we hold for liquidity. Most of the increase in balances came from liquidity

48

investments as we re-invested a large balance of deposits ($8.6 billion) that we had held at the Federal Reserve (and reflected in cash and due from banks) on December 31, 2013.

Investment balances averaged $28.9 billion in the first six months of 2014, an increase of $6.0 billion (26 percent) from the same period in 2013. This growth occurred from both liquidity investments and mortgage-backed securities. All of our mortgage-backed securities held at June 30, 2014 were issued and guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or a U.S. agency.

We maintained an adequate amount of asset liquidity throughout the year under a variety of liquidity measures as discussed in the "Liquidity Risk" section of "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Risk Management."

Capital

Capital adequacy remained strong in the first six months of 2014, exceeding all minimum regulatory capital requirements. The GAAP capital-to-assets ratio at June 30, 2014 was 4.79 percent, while the regulatory capital-to-assets ratio was 4.91 percent. Both ratios were above the regulatory required minimum of four percent. Regulatory capital includes mandatorily redeemable capital stock accounted for as a liability under GAAP.

The amounts of GAAP and regulatory capital decreased$457 million and $461 million, respectively, in the first six months of 2014, primarily resulting from redemption and repurchase of $500 million in excess stock from members as part of our capital management strategy.

Total retained earnings were $647 million at June 30, 2014, an increase of $26 million (four percent) from year-end 2013. Retained earnings were comprised of $513 million unrestricted and $134 million restricted. We believe the amount of retained earnings is sufficient to protect against impairment risk of capital stock and to provide opportunity to stabilize dividends. Our Capital Plan also has safeguards to prevent financial leverage ratios from falling below regulatory minimum levels.

We regularly conduct capital adequacy assessments as part of our risk management practices. Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act rules, all FHLBanks are required to annually perform stress tests for capital adequacy. Our first test was completed and published in July 2014 based on our financial condition as of September 30, 2013 and the methodology prescribed by the Finance Agency. Capital adequacy was maintained under all established scenarios to absorb losses under adverse economic conditions.

Results of Operations

The table below summarizes our results of operations.

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,						Year Ended December 31,

Dividend rate spread to Federal funds effective rate	3.91			4.13			3.92			4.12			4.07

The spreads between ROE and short-term interest rates, for which we use 3-month LIBOR and Federal funds as a proxy, are market benchmarks we believe member stockholders use to assess the competitiveness of the return on their capital investment in our company. Earnings continued to be sufficient to provide competitive returns to stockholders' capital investment. Consistent with experience over the last five years, ROE was significantly above short-term rates, resulting in the ROE spreads being wider than the long-term historical average spreads.

49

The lower net income and ROE in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period of 2013 resulted primarily from the following factors:

▪ a decline in mortgage asset spreads due to the run-off of higher yielding mortgages in excess of debt called and replaced at lower rates;

▪ a larger reversal in 2013 for credit losses on mortgage loans held for portfolio;

▪ an increase in net amortization related to mortgage assets; and

▪ an increase in other expense.

Several factors increased income, offsetting much of the impact of the unfavorable factors:

▪ Advance growth;

▪ an increase in the amount of short-term liabilities funding long-term assets; and

▪ an increase in the balance of mortgage-backed securities.

ROE improved in the second quarter comparison primarily due to the approximate $500 million stock repurchase in February, the effect of which was not fully realized until the second quarter.

Business Outlook and Risk Management

Our major business strategies, outlook for our business, and risk profiles and management have not changed substantially since our 2013 Form 10-K filing. "Conditions in the Economy and Financial Markets" discusses our business outlook in the context of external influences. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Risk Management” provides details on current risk exposures. We have no material updates to provide for the regulatory or legislative environment since the 2013 Form 10-K filing.

CONDITIONS IN THE ECONOMY AND FINANCIAL MARKETS

Effect of Economy and Financial Markets on Mission Asset Activity and Debt Issuance

The primary external factors that affect our Mission Asset Activity and earnings are the general state and trends of the economy and financial institutions, especially in our Fifth District; conditions in the financial, credit, mortgage, and housing markets; interest rates; competitive alternatives to our products, such as retail deposits and other sources of wholesale funding; actions of the Federal Reserve to affect liquidity reserves of financial institutions and the money supply; the willingness and ability of financial institutions to expand lending; and regulatory initiatives, all of which are difficult to predict and affect in terms of their impact on demand for our products and services. Because of these external factors, we cannot reliably project future trends in Advance demand for individual members or the broad membership base. Our business is cyclical and Mission Asset Activity normally grows slowly, stabilizes, or declines in periods of difficult macro-economic conditions, when financial institutions have ample liquidity, or when there is significant growth in the money supply.

In the last several years, measured economic growth has resulted in relatively slow growth in consumer, mortgage and commercial loans across the broad membership both in absolute terms and relative to deposit growth. Other important factors continuing to negatively impact broad-based demand for our credit services are the extremely low levels of interest rates and the Federal Reserve's ongoing actions to provide an extraordinary amount of deposit-based liquidity to attempt to stimulate economic growth. We believe these trends continue to temper many members' demand for Advances. However, as the first two quarters of 2014 progressed, there was a noticeable increase in the number of members that increased their Advance balances. We could see an acceleration of the recent broad-based increase in Advance demand if the economy continues to improve or if notable changes in Federal Reserve policy reduce other sources of liquidity available to our members.

The relative balance between loan and deposit growth provides an indication of potential member Advance demand. From March 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014 (the most recent period for which data are available), aggregate loan portfolios of Fifth District depository institutions grew $43.7 billion (3.7 percent) while their aggregate deposit balances rose $94.7 billion (4.8 percent). The data include the effect of large mergers and acquisitions only when they are available for both comparison dates. Most of the loan and deposit growth in this period occurred from our largest members, which is consistent with the concentration of financial activity among large financial institutions. Excluding the five members with over $50 billion of

50

assets and recent acquisitions, aggregate loans increased $10.9 billion (6.0 percent) in the 12-month period while aggregate deposits grew $11.2 billion (4.9 percent).

This faster loan growth than deposit growth in members with assets below $50 billion may help explain the moderate broad-based growth in Advance demand in 2014. We do not know if this recent trend will continue, as much of it involves overnight and short-term Advances.

Financial markets were relatively stable in the first six months of 2014, and the FHLBank System maintained ample access to funding at relatively attractive levels.

Interest Rates

Trends in market interest rates affect members' demand for Mission Asset Activity, earnings, spreads on assets, funding costs and decisions in managing the tradeoffs in our market risk/return profile. The following table presents key market interest rates (obtained from Bloomberg L.P.).

					Six Months Ended June 30,

(1) Simple average of current coupon rates of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac par mortgage-backed security indications.

(2) Simple weekly average of 125 national lenders' mortgage rates for prime borrowers having a 20 percent down payment as surveyed and published by Freddie Mac.

Short-term interest rates remained at historic lows in the first six months of 2014. The Federal Reserve maintained the overnight Federal funds target and effective rates between zero and 0.25 percent, with other short-term interest rates generally consistent with their historical relationships to Federal funds. The Federal Reserve has indicated that it currently plans to hold certain short-term interest rates at or near zero until at least mid-2015. This projection could change if indicators of economic growth or inflation, or its forecast thereof, changes.

Expectations for future changes in intermediate- and long-term interest rates are more difficult to form in part because the Federal Reserve has less control over these rates. In the first two quarters of 2014, intermediate-term rates (up to five years) were relatively stable, while longer-term rates declined moderately.

51

The low interest rate environment remained favorable for our results of operations in terms of the spread between our level of profitability (ROE) and the levels of interest rates. The rate environment has been a net benefit to our profitability over the last several years relative to levels of interest rates, for several reasons:

▪ Reductions in, and low, market interest rates raise ROE compared to market rates to the extent we fund a portion of long-term assets with shorter-term debt.

▪ The low intermediate- and long-term interest rates have provided us the opportunity to retire many Bonds and replace them with lower cost Obligations, at a pace exceeding mortgage asset paydowns which were relatively muted in the last several years due to the difficulties in the housing and mortgage markets.

▪ Earnings generated from funding assets with interest-free capital have not decreased as much as the reduction in overall interest rates because long-term assets do not reprice immediately to the lower rates.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Mission Asset Activity

We regularly monitor the dollar and percentage amount of our balance sheet that is Mission Asset Activity, which we define as Advances, Letters of Credit, and total MPP. These are the primary means by which we fulfill our mission with direct connections to members. We measure Mission Asset Activity against Consolidated Obligations because the latter reflect the major source of our franchise value as a GSE. At June 30, 2014, the principal balance of Mission Asset Activity was $91.9 billion, an increase of $6.6 billion (eight percent) from year-end 2013, which constituted 83 percent of adjusted Consolidated Obligations (which equal Obligations plus Letters of Credit and Mandatory Delivery Contracts). The daily average percentage in the first six months of 2014 was 79 percent. These percentage levels were above or close to the 80 percent internal benchmark we have established.

Credit Services

Credit Activity and Advance Composition

The table below shows trends in Advance balances by major programs and in the notional amount of Letters of Credit. The growth in Advances was comprised primarily of short-term REPO Advances.

(Dollars in millions)	June 30, 2014				March 31, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Balance		Percent(1)		Balance		Percent(1)		Balance		Percent(1)

(1) As a percentage of total Advances principal.    

(2) Excludes Putable/Convertible Advances where the related put/conversion options have expired. Such Advances are classified based on their current terms.

52

The bulk of the increase in total Advance balances occurred from several larger members. However, as noted in the "Conditions in the Economy and Financial Markets" there was a moderate amount of broad-based growth in Advance usage with a discernible increase in the number of members with higher Advance balances.

Former members hold $1.7 billion in Advances (two percent), of which approximately $1.1 billion are scheduled to mature by the end of 2014. When these are repaid, the former members will not be able to replace them with new Advances.

Members increased their available lines in the Letters of Credit program by $2.1 billion in the first six months of 2014. We generally earn fees on Letters of Credit based on the actual notional amount of the Letters utilized, which normally is less than the available lines.

Advance Usage

The following table shows the unweighted average ratio of each member's Advance balance to its most-recently available figures for total assets.

	June 30, 2014		March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Average Advances-to-Assets for Members
Assets less than $1.0 billion (653 members)	3.24	%	3.13	%	3.27	%
Assets over $1.0 billion (64 members)	3.42	%	3.17	%	3.33	%
All members	3.26	%	3.13	%	3.28	%

Overall Advance usage ratios were relatively stable in the first six months of 2014. Although Advance usage ratios have risen modestly in the last few years, we believe that the measured economic expansion, significant levels of financial institution liquidity as a result of Federal Reserve actions, and robust member deposit levels continue to limit overall member demand for our funding.

The following tables present principal balances for our top five Advance borrowers.

(Dollars in millions)
June 30, 2014					December 31, 2013
Name	Par Value of Advances		Percent of Total Par Value of Advances		Name	Par Value of Advances		Percent of Total Par Value of Advances
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.	$	39,700	57	%	JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.	$	41,700	64	%
U.S. Bank, N.A.	5,467		8		U.S. Bank, N.A.	4,584		7
The Huntington National Bank	2,884		4		The Huntington National Bank	1,809		3
Fifth Third Bank	1,775		3		Western-Southern Life Assurance Co	1,342		2
Western-Southern Life Assurance Co	1,447		2		Protective Life Insurance Company	1,171		2
Total of Top 5	$	51,273	74	%	Total of Top 5	$	50,606	78	%

As reflected in the table on Advances-to-member assets, large members currently as well as historically utilize Advances to fund a similar amount of their assets as smaller members. Therefore, our Advance concentration ratios are influenced by, and generally are similar to, concentration ratios of financial activity among our Fifth District financial institutions. We believe that having large financial institutions who actively use our Mission Asset Activity augments the value of membership to all members because it improves our operating efficiency, increases our earnings and thereby contributions to housing and community investment programs, may enable us over time to obtain more favorable funding costs, and helps us maintain competitively priced Mission Asset Activity.

53

Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio (Mortgage Purchase Program, or "MPP")

For the MPP we emphasize recruiting community-based members to sell us mortgage loans, increasing the number of regular sellers and maintaining balances at a prudent level relative to capital. This strategy is guided by our principle of having a moderate amount of market and low amount of credit risk. The number of regular sellers remains at a high level compared to historical trends. Balances are driven primarily by activity from large sellers and a Finance Agency regulation requiring that if purchases in a calendar year exceed $2.5 billion, we must enact additional housing goals. Given the uncertainty of the goal requirements and possible operational and economic impacts, we continue to limit our calendar year purchases to less than $2.5 billion until further guidance is provided by the Finance Agency.

The table below shows principal paydowns and purchases of loans in the MPP for the first six months of 2014.

(In millions)	MPP Principal
Balance at December 31, 2013	$	6,643
Principal purchases	372
Principal paydowns	(491		)
Balance at June 30, 2014	$	6,524

The decline in principal loan balance in 2014 resulted from a stagnant refinancing market. However, commitments from members to sell loans increased modestly in the second quarter. Purchases resulted from sales by 84 participating financial institutions (PFIs) during the first six months of the year, with the number of monthly sellers averaging 55. Almost all loans acquired in the first two quarters of 2014 were conventional, with less than one percent of purchases being comprised of Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans.

We closely track the refinancing incentives of our mortgage assets (including those in the MPP and mortgage-backed securities) because the option for homeowners to change their principal payments normally represents a large portion of our market risk exposure. MPP principal paydowns in the first six months of 2014 equated to an 11 percent annual constant prepayment rate, down from the 21 percent rate for all of 2013, as the refinancing incentives for many of our mortgage assets declined.

The MPP's composition of balances by loan type, original final maturity, and weighted-average mortgage note rate did not change materially in the first six months of 2014. The weighted average mortgage note rate fell from 4.53 percent at the end of 2013 to 4.46 percent at June 30, 2014. This decline reflected a continuing trend of prepayments of higher rate mortgages and purchases of lower rate mortgages. MPP yields earned during the first six months of 2014, relative to funding costs, continued to offer favorable returns relative to their market risk exposure.

Investments

We hold investments in order to provide liquidity, enhance earnings, and help manage market risk. We hold both shorter-term investments, which we refer to as "liquidity investments" because most of them serve to augment asset liquidity, and longer-term mortgage-backed securities. The table below presents the ending and average balances of our investments.

(In millions)	Six Months Ended				Year Ended
	June 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Ending Balance		Average Balance		Ending Balance		Average Balance
Liquidity investments	$	9,086	$	12,747	$	6,303	$	10,389
Mortgage-backed securities	15,649		16,049		16,061		14,320
Other investments (1)	—		107		—		161
Total investments	$	24,735	$	28,903	$	22,364	$	24,870

(1) The average balance includes the rights or obligations to cash collateral, which are included in the fair value of derivative assets or derivative liabilities on the Statements of Condition at period end.

We continued to maintain a sufficient amount of asset liquidity. Liquidity investment levels can vary significantly based on liquidity needs, the availability of acceptable net spreads, the number of eligible counterparties that meet our unsecured credit

54

risk criteria, and changes in the amount of Mission Assets. It is normal for liquidity investments to vary several billion dollars on a daily basis.

The increase in investments at June 30, 2014 compared to year-end 2013 was due mostly to holding a large amount of funds ($8.6 billion) in deposits at the Federal Reserve (reflected in cash and due from banks on the Statements of Condition) at year-end 2013, which we re-invested in liquidity investments thereafter.

Our overarching strategy for mortgage-backed securities is to keep holdings as close as possible to the regulatory maximum of three times regulatory capital, subject to the availability of securities that we believe provide acceptable risk/return tradeoffs. The balance of mortgage-backed securities at June 30, 2014 represented a 3.15 multiple of regulatory capital, which exceeded the maximum leverage limit of 3.00 due to our repurchase of excess capital stock that occurred in the first quarter of 2014. Per regulation, we suspended the purchase of new mortgage-backed securities until the leverage ratio falls below three multiples of capital. We purchased no mortgage-backed securities in the second quarter.

At June 30, 2014, the mortgage-backed securities composition consisted of $13.5 billion of securities issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (of which $1.7 billion were floating-rate securities), $1.1 billion of floating-rate securities issued by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), and $1.1 billion of securities issued by Ginnie Mae. We held no private-label mortgage-backed securities.

The table below shows principal purchases and paydowns of our mortgage-backed securities for the first six months of 2014.

(In millions)	Mortgage-backed Securities Principal
Balance at December 31, 2013	$	16,087
Principal purchases	567
Principal paydowns	(975		)
Balance at June 30, 2014	$	15,679

Principal paydowns in the first six months of 2014 equated to an 11 percent annual constant prepayment rate, down from the 17 percent rate in all of 2013.

Consolidated Obligations

The table below presents the ending and average balances of our participations in Consolidated Obligations.

(2) The 12 FHLBanks have joint and several liability for the par amount of all of the Consolidated Obligations issued on their behalves. The par amount of the outstanding Consolidated Obligations of all 12 FHLBanks was (in millions) $799,979 and $766,837 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

55

The increases in the ending and average balances of unswapped adjustable-rate Bonds reflect a shift away from discount note funding, which is part of a repositioning strategy to more efficiently manage the risks within our LIBOR-indexed portfolios. Our preference continues to be participation in unswapped adjustable-rate Bonds and discount notes as funding options instead of new interest rate swaps (i.e., swapped fixed-rate Bonds).

Deposits

Members' deposits with us are normally a relatively minor source of low-cost funding. Total interest bearing deposits at June 30, 2014 were $0.8 billion, a decrease of 11 percent from year-end 2013. The average balance of total interest bearing deposits in the first six months of 2014 was $0.9 billion, a decrease of 26 percent from the average balance during the same period of 2013.

Derivatives Hedging Activity and Liquidity

Our use of and accounting for derivatives is discussed in the "Effect of the Use of Derivatives on Net Interest Income" section in "Results of Operations." Liquidity is discussed in the "Liquidity Risk" section in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Risk Management.” We did not change our strategy of using derivatives solely to manage market risk exposure in the first six months of 2014.

Capital Resources

The following tables present capital amounts and capital-to-assets ratios, on both a GAAP and regulatory basis.

	Six Months Ended				Year Ended
GAAP and Regulatory Capital	June 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
(In millions)	Period End		Average		Period End		Average
GAAP Capital Stock	$	4,215	$	4,357	$	4,698	$	4,534
Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock	112		118		116		139
Regulatory Capital Stock	4,327		4,475		4,814		4,673
Retained Earnings	647		649		621		598
Regulatory Capital	$	4,974	$	5,124	$	5,435	$	5,271

	Six Months Ended				Year Ended
GAAP and Regulatory Capital-to-Assets Ratio	June 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Period End		Average		Period End		Average
GAAP	4.79	%	4.91	%	5.15	%	5.47	%
Regulatory	4.91		5.03		5.27		5.63

In the first six months of 2014, our capital base decreased due mostly to a $500 million redemption and repurchase of excess capital stock in February as part of our ongoing philosophy to effectively manage capital and financial performance. Both GAAP and regulatory capital-to-assets ratios, post repurchase, remained above the regulatory required minimum of four percent. We consider the regulatory ratio to be a better representation of financial leverage than the GAAP ratio. Although the GAAP ratio treats mandatorily redeemable capital stock as a liability, it protects investors in our debt in the same way that GAAP capital stock and retained earnings do.

The amount of excess capital stock, as defined by our capital plan, was $554 million at June 30, 2014, a decrease of $675 million from year-end 2013, which was primarily due to the stock repurchase noted above and, secondarily, growth in Advances.

At June 30, 2014, the total amount of retained earnings were comprised of $513 million unrestricted (an increase of $3 million from year-end 2013) and $134 million restricted (an increase of $23 million), which are not permitted to be distributed as dividends. We believe that the amount of retained earnings is sufficient to protect against impairment risk of capital stock and to provide the opportunity to stabilize dividends. Further discussion is in the "Capital Adequacy" section of "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Risk Management."

Membership and Stockholders

In the first six months of 2014, we lost 10 members, ending the quarter at 717. The 10 lost members included seven that merged with other Fifth District members and three that merged out of the District. The impact on our earnings and Mission Asset Activity from the members lost was negligible. We will continue to recruit the remaining institutions eligible for membership in order to maintain and expand our customer base.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Components of Earnings and Return on Equity

The following table is a summary income statement for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 and 2013. Each ROE percentage is computed by dividing income or expense for the category by the average amount of stockholders' equity for the period. Factors determining the level of, and changes in, net income and ROE are explained in the remainder of this section.

(1) The ROE amounts have been computed using dollars in thousands. Accordingly, recalculations based upon the disclosed amounts (millions) in this table may produce nominally different results.

The most significant individual contributors to the decrease in net income and ROE in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period of 2013 were:

▪ a decline in mortgage asset spreads due to the run-off of higher yielding mortgages in excess of debt called and replaced at lower rates;

▪ a larger reversal in 2013 for credit losses on mortgage loans held for portfolio;

▪ an increase in net amortization related to mortgage assets; and

▪ an increase in total other expense.

Several factors increased income, offsetting much of the impact of the unfavorable factors:

▪ Advance growth;

▪ an increase in the amount of short-term liabilities funding long-term assets; and

▪ an increase in the balance of mortgage-backed securities.

ROE improved in the second quarter comparison primarily due to the approximate $500 million stock repurchase in February, the effect of which was not fully realized until the second quarter.

Net Interest Income

Components of Net Interest Income

The following table shows the major components of net interest income. Reasons for the variance in net interest income between the periods are discussed below.

	Three Months Ended June 30,										Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in millions)	2014					2013					2014					2013
	Amount			Pct of Earning Assets		Amount			Pct of Earning Assets		Amount			Pct of Earning Assets		Amount			Pct of Earning Assets

(1) Includes (amortization)/accretion of premiums/discounts on mortgage assets and Consolidated Obligations and deferred transaction costs (concession fees) for Consolidated Obligations.

(2) These components of net interest rate spread have been segregated here to display their relative impact.

(3) Net interest margin is net interest income before (reversal)/provision for credit losses as a percentage of average total interest earning assets.

Net Amortization/Accretion. Net amortization/accretion (generally referred to as "amortization") includes monthly recognition of premiums and discounts paid on purchases of mortgage assets, as well as premiums, discounts and concessions paid on Consolidated Obligations. Periodic amortization adjustments do not necessarily indicate a trend in economic return over the entire life of mortgage assets, although amortization over the entire life is one component of lifetime economic returns.

While net amortization has been large and volatile in several periods over the last four years, it was modest in the first six months of 2014 and 2013. Net amortization was higher in both the three and six months of 2014 due primarily to the lower than normal amortization in the first six months of 2013, which resulted from a decline in actual and projected prepayment speeds due to higher mortgage rates.

At June 30, 2014, the net premium balance of mortgage assets totaled $148 million compared to $156 million at the end of 2013. The decline was the result mostly of paydowns of premium-priced mortgage assets, which were replaced with MPP assets with lower purchase premiums and mortgage-backed securities purchased at near-par or discounted prices.

Prepayment Fees on Advances. Fees for members' early repayment of certain Advances are designed to make us economically indifferent to whether members hold Advances to maturity or repay them before maturity. Although Advance prepayment fees can be, and in the past have been significant, they were small in the first six months of both 2014 and 2013 reflecting a low amount of member prepayments of Advances.

Other Components of Net Interest Rate Spread. Excluding net amortization and prepayment fees, the total other components of net interest rate spread increased $4 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period of 2013. The following factors, discussed below in estimated approximate order of impact from largest to smallest, accounted for the changes in net interest rate spread due to other components.

Six-Months Comparison

▪ Advance growth-Favorable: The growth in average Advance balances and new capital stock purchased to support the growth improved net interest income by an estimated $16 million. Leveraging the additional capital with mortgage-backed securities contributed to the increase in net interest income.

58

▪ Asset-liability management-Unfavorable: Management strategies and actions, along with changes in the market rate environment, related to reducing our market risk exposure lowered earnings on a net basis for the following reasons:

1) Net interest income deceased $19 million due to a decline in mortgage asset spreads resulting from the run-off of higher yielding mortgages in excess of debt called and replaced at lower rates.

2) We had a higher amount of short-term debt funding fixed-rate mortgages in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period of 2013, which increased net interest income by an estimated $13 million.

3) Actions to manage risks associated with funding LIBOR assets and a slight decrease in spreads between LIBOR assets and Discount Notes lowered net interest income by an estimated $8 million.

▪ Higher balances on mortgage-backed securities-Favorable: The average balance of the mortgage-backed security portfolio increased $3 billion compared to the first six months of 2013. Approximately $1 billion of this growth can be attributed to an increase in authority to purchase new mortgage-backed securities caused by the growth in capital to fund Advance growth. The income impact of the growth in the mortgage-backed security portfolio attributed to Advance growth is included in the factor above. The additional $2 billion of mortgage-backed security growth increased net interest income by an estimated $5 million.

▪ Lower balances on MPP loans-Unfavorable: The average balance of MPP loans declined $0.5 billion, which reduced net interest income by an estimated $3 million.

Three-Months Comparison

For the three-months comparison, the same factors generally affected the other components of net interest rate spread as in the six-months comparison and in approximately the same relative magnitude.

Earnings From Capital. The earnings from funding assets with interest-free capital remained relatively constant compared to the first six months of 2013.

59

Average Balance Sheet and Rates

The following tables provide average rates and average balances for major balance sheet accounts, which determine the changes in the net interest rate spread. All data include the impact of interest rate swaps, which we allocate to each asset and liability category according to their designated hedging relationship. The changes in the net interest rate spread and net interest margin between the periods shown occurred mostly from the net impact of the factors discussed above in “Components of Net Interest Income.”

(1) Amounts used to calculate average rates are based on dollars in thousands. Accordingly, recalculations based upon the disclosed amounts (millions) may not produce the same results.

(2) Non-accrual loans are included in average balances used to determine average rate.

(5) The average balance amounts include the rights or obligations to cash collateral, which are included in the fair value of derivative assets or derivative liabilities on the Statements of Condition at period end.

(6) Net interest margin is net interest income before (reversal)/provision for credit losses as a percentage of average total interest earning assets.

The net interest spread and net interest margin decreased due to an increase in Advances balances and, secondarily, to the unfavorable earnings factors net of the favorable factors as discussed in the previous section. Although theAdvance growth resulted in an overall benefit to net interest income because of a larger asset base, the growth lowered the spread and margin because Advances tend to have narrower spreads to funding costs compared to mortgage assets.

61

The decline in the average rate on total earning assets and total interest-bearing liabilities resulted from the continued low rate environment and, due to the Advance growth, an increase in the balance sheet composition of instruments that tend to carry lower rates relative to the total balance sheet. The low rate environment particularly resulted in a decline in the average rate of long-term assets (such as certain Advances, mortgage loans held for portfolio and mortgage-backed securities) and long-term liabilities (unswapped fixed-rate Bonds). This is because a substantial portion of the principal paid down on these assets and liabilities, which had higher rates, were replaced with new assets and liabilities at lower rates.

Yields on short-term assets (Federal funds sold and securities sold under resale agreements) and liabilities (short-term borrowings and unswapped adjustable-rate Bonds) decreased slightly compared to the first six months of 2013 due to elevated short-term yields in the first half of 2013 that were the result of the continued effects of the Federal Reserve quantitative easing program. The yield on the swapped Bond portfolio increased compared to the first six months of 2013 due to a tightening in basis between Bonds and LIBOR swaps.

Volume/Rate Analysis

Changes in both average balances (volume) and interest rates influence changes in net interest income. The following table summarizes these changes and trends in interest income and interest expense.

(In millions)	Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 over 2013									Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 over 2013

(1) Volume changes are calculated as the change in volume multiplied by the prior year rate.

(2) Rate changes are calculated as the change in rate multiplied by the prior year average balance.

(3) Changes that are not identifiable as either volume-related or rate-related, but rather are equally attributable to both volume and rate changes, have been allocated to the volume and rate categories based upon the proportion of the absolute value of the volume and rate changes.

Effect of the Use of Derivatives on Net Interest Income

The following table shows the effect of using derivatives on net interest income. The table does not show the effect on earnings from the non-interest components of derivatives related to market value adjustments. This is provided in the next section “Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense.”

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2014			2013			2014			2013
Advances:
Amortization/accretion of hedging activities in net interest income	$	(1	)	$	(1	)	$	(2	)	$	(2	)
Net interest settlements included in net interest income	(23		)	(27		)	(46		)	(55		)
Mortgage loans:
Amortization of derivative fair value adjustments in net interest income	(1		)	(1		)	(1		)	(1		)
Consolidated Obligation Bonds:
Net interest settlements included in net interest income	5			7			9			16
Decrease to net interest income	$	(20	)	$	(22	)	$	(40	)	$	(42	)

Most of our derivatives synthetically convert the intermediate- and long-term fixed interest rates on certain Advances and Bonds to adjustable-coupon rates tied to short-term LIBOR (mostly one- and three-month repricing resets). These adjustable-rate coupons normally carry lower interest rates than the fixed rates. The use of derivatives lowered net interest income in each period primarily because the Advances that were swapped to short-term LIBOR had higher fixed interest rates than the Bonds that were swapped to short-term LIBOR. This reduction in earnings was acceptable because it enabled us, as we designed, to significantly lower market risk exposure by creating a much closer match of actual cash flows between assets and liabilities than would occur otherwise. The reduction was similar in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period of 2013.

Provision for Credit Losses

In the first six months of 2013, we recorded a $6.5 million reversal for estimated incurred credit losses in the MPP driven by sharp increases in home prices combined with improved delinquency trends during that period. In the first six months of 2014, delinquency trends continued to decrease while home prices remained relatively steady, resulting in a $0.9 million reversal for estimated incurred credit losses. Further information is in the "Credit Risk - MPP" section in "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Risk Management" and Note 9 of the Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements.

Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense

The following table presents non-interest income and non-interest expense for each of the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 and 2013.

(1) Amounts used to calculate percentages are based on dollars in thousands. Accordingly, recalculations based upon the disclosed amounts (millions) may not produce the same results.

Other non-interest income increased in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period of 2013 primarily due to an increase in Standby Letters of Credit fees.

Other expenses rose modestly in the 2014 periods, which reflected increases in compensation and benefits and increases in Finance Agency fees.

Effect of Derivatives and Hedging Activities

(In millions)	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013			2014			2013
Net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities

Total net effect of derivatives and hedging activities	$	4	$	(1	)	$	4		$	4

(1) Includes only those gains or losses on financial instruments held at fair value that have an economic derivative "assigned."

64

The amounts of income volatility in overall derivatives and hedging activities were modest compared to the notional principal amounts, well within the range of normal historical fluctuation, and consistent with the close hedging relationships of our derivative transactions.

Affordable Housing Program Assessments

In the first six months of 2014, assessments totaled $13 million and lowered ROE by 0.54 percentage points. In the first six months of 2013, assessments totaled $14 million and lowered ROE by 0.58 percentage points.

Segment Information

Note 17 of the Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements presents information on our two operating business segments. We manage financial operations and market risk exposure primarily at the macro level, and within the context of the entire balance sheet, rather than exclusively at the level of individual segments. Under this approach, the market risk/return profile of each segment may not match, or possibly even have the same trends as, what would occur if we managed each segment on a stand-alone basis. The table below summarizes each segment's operating results for the periods shown.

Traditional Member Finance Segment

The increases in net interest income in both comparison periods were due primarily to Advance growth, an increase in mortgage-backed securities leverage, and a decrease in net amortization. Net income remained relatively constant as these factors were mostly offset by a decrease in market values on swaps and related hedged items and an increase in operating expenses.

ROE decreased in the first six months of 2014 even though net income increased slightly because the proportional increase in average total capital to support Advance growth exceeded the net income generated. The growth in capital diluted ROE because earnings were spread over a larger capital base. ROE improved in the three-month comparison primarily due to an approximate $500 million stock repurchase in February 2014, the effect of which was not fully realized until the second quarter.

MPP Segment

The MPP continued to earn a substantial level of profitability compared with market interest rates, with a moderate amount of market risk and credit risk. In the first six months of 2014, the MPP averaged seven percent of total average assets while accounting for 26 percent of earnings.

Net interest income decreased in both comparison periods due to higher net amortization, lower reversals of MPP credit losses, the run-off of higher yielding MPP loans in excess of debt called and replaced at lower rates, and lower MPP balances. Net income decreased by smaller amounts since the factors above were partially offset by net gains on derivatives and hedging activities in the three and six months of 2014 compared to losses in the same periods of 2013.

Net amortization of MPP assets was $8 million higher in the first six months of 2014 due to a low amount of amortization in the same period of 2013 as a result of increases in mortgage rates.

ROE decreased in the first six months of 2014 due to the factors above, which were partially offset by a lower amount of capital allocated as a result of the lower MPP balances and Advance growth. As with the Traditional Member Finance segment, ROE increased in the second quarter comparison due to the repurchase of stock in February.

Compared to the Traditional Member Finance segment, the MPP segment can exhibit more earnings volatility relative to short-term interest rates and more credit risk exposure, but also provides the opportunity for enhancing risk-adjusted returns which

normally augments earnings. Although mortgage assets are the largest source of our market risk, we believe that we have historically managed this risk prudently and consistently with our risk appetite and corporate objectives. We also believe that these assets do not excessively elevate the balance sheet's overall market risk exposure.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT RISK MANAGEMENT

Market Risk

Market Value of Equity and Duration of Equity - Entire Balance Sheet

Two key measures of long-term market risk exposure are the sensitivities of the market value of equity and the duration of equity to changes in interest rates and other variables, as presented in the following tables for various instantaneous and permanent interest rate shocks. Average results are compiled using data for each month end. Given the current very low level of rates, the down rate shocks are nonparallel scenarios, with short-term rates decreasing less than long-term rates so that no rate falls below zero.

During the first six months of 2014, as in 2013, consistent with our historical practice, we positioned the market risk exposure to changing interest rates to be moderate overall to higher rates. Exposure to lower rates continued to benefit from slower mortgage prepayment speeds (given the level of rates and composition of mortgage assets) over the last several years, than the speeds that would be expected under a more normal housing environment.

Based on the totality of our market risk analysis, we expect that profitability, defined as the level of ROE compared with short-term market rates, will remain competitive unless interest rates change by extremely large amounts in a short period of time.

67

Decreases in long-term interest rates even up to two percentage points (which would put fixed-rate mortgages at almost two percent) would still result in ROE being above market interest rates. We believe that profitability would not become uncompetitive in a rising rate environment unless long-term rates were to permanently increase in a short period of time by as much as five percentage points or more combined with short-term rates increasing to at least eight percent.

Market Capitalization Ratio

The following table presents the market capitalization ratios for the interest rate environments for which we have policy limits.

	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Market Value of Equity to Par Value of Regulatory Capital Stock - Base Case (Flat Rates) Scenario	113	%	105	%
Market Value of Equity to Par Value of Regulatory Capital Stock - Down Shock of 200 bps	114		108
Market Value of Capital to Par Value of Regulatory Capital Stock - Up Shock of 200 bps	107		100

In the first six months of 2014, the market capitalization ratios in the scenarios presented continued to be above minimum policy limits. The ratios increased in 2014 due to the combined effect of several smaller factors, which included the repurchase of excess stock, modest decreases in long-term market rates, modestly higher market prices on mortgage assets relative to funding, and enhancements made to the methodology used to price some mortgage assets and Consolidated Bonds. The ratios remain at favorable levels because retained earnings are currently 15 percent of regulatory capital stock and we have maintained market risk exposure at moderate levels.

Market Risk Exposure of the Mortgage Assets Portfolio

The mortgage assets portfolio normally accounts for almost all of our market risk exposure because of prepayment volatility that we cannot completely hedge while maintaining positive net spreads. Sensitivities of the market value of equity allocated to the mortgage assets portfolio under interest rate shocks (in basis points) are shown below. At June 30, 2014, the mortgage assets portfolio had an assumed par-value equity (capital) allocation of $1.1 billion based on the entire balance sheet's regulatory capital-to-assets ratio. Average results are compiled using data for each month-end. The market value sensitivities are one measure we use to analyze the portfolio's estimated market risk exposure.

% Change in Market Value of Equity-Mortgage Assets Portfolio

	Down 300		Down 200		Down 100		Flat Rates	Up 100		Up 200		Up 300
Average Results
2014 Year-to-Date	(16.7	)%	(0.7	)%	5.4	%	—	(10.1	)%	(21.4	)%	(32.6	)%
2013 Full Year	6.3	%	10.6	%	8.9	%	—	(14.0	)%	(29.0	)%	(43.7	)%
Month-End Results
June 30, 2014	(26.1	)%	(9.2	)%	1.2	%	—	(8.4	)%	(19.2	)%	(30.3	)%
December 31, 2013	7.7	%	16.3	%	11.3	%	—	(12.6	)%	(24.6	)%	(36.1	)%

The sensitivities indicate that the market risk exposure of the mortgage assets portfolio had similar trends in the last two years across interest rate shocks as those of the entire balance sheet. The dollar amount of exposure for any individual rate shock can be obtained by multiplying the percentage change by the assumed equity allocation. We believe the mortgage assets portfolio continues to have an acceptable amount of market risk exposure relative to the inherent market risks of owning mortgages and relative to their actual and expected profitability. We believe this exposure is consistent with our risk appetite philosophy and cooperative business model.

The measured risk exposure of our mortgage assets portfolio, on average, declined in the first six months of 2014 relative to 2013. The decrease was a result of the market risk strategy we implemented to maintain exposure to higher rates at reduced levels.

Capital Adequacy

Capital Leverage

Prudent risk management dictates that we maintain effective financial leverage to minimize risk to our capital stock while preserving profitability and that we hold an adequate amount of retained earnings. Pursuant to these objectives, Finance Agency Regulations stipulate that we must comply with three limits on capital leverage and risk-based capital. We have always complied with each capital requirement. The regulatory capital ratio averaged 5.03 percent in the first six months of 2014 and at June 30, 2014 was 4.91 percent. The latter metric means that, given the amount of regulatory capital, total assets could increase by approximately $23 billion with no new stock purchases before the capital-to-assets ratio would fall to four percent. This amount of growth in assets is unlikely to occur and, if it did, our Capital Plan would require us to obtain additional amounts of capital well before the four percent policy limit on capitalization would be reached.

See the “Capital Resources” section of “Analysis of Financial Condition” and Note 14 of the Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements for more information on our capital adequacy.

Retained Earnings

Our Board-approved Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy sets forth a range for the amount of retained earnings we believe is needed to mitigate impairment risk and facilitate dividend stability in light of the risks we face. The current minimum retained earnings requirement is $375 million, based on mitigating quantifiable risks under very stressed business and market scenarios to at least a 99 percent confidence level. Given the regulatory environment, we have been carrying a greater amount of retained earnings ($647 million at June 30, 2014) than required by the Policy. We will continue to bolster capital adequacy over time by allocating a portion of earnings to a separate restricted retained earnings account in accordance with the FHLBank System's Capital Agreement.

Credit Risk

Overview

We assume a significant amount of inherent credit risk exposure in our business. We believe we continue to have a minimal overall amount of residual credit risk exposure related to our Credit Services, purchases of investments, and transactions in derivatives and a moderate amount of legacy credit risk exposure related to the MPP. We believe policies and practices related to credit underwriting, Advance collateral management, and transactions with investment and derivative counterparties continue to fully mitigate these risks, and as such we have no loan loss reserves or impairment recorded for these instruments.

Credit Services

Overview. We have policies and practices to manage credit risk exposure from our secured lending activities, which include Advances and Letters of Credit. The objective of our credit risk management is to equalize risk exposure across members and counterparties to a zero level of expected losses, consistent with our conservative risk management principles and desire to have virtually no residual credit risk related to member borrowings.

Collateral. We require each member to provide us a security interest in eligible collateral before it can undertake any secured borrowing. At June 30, 2014, our policy of over-collateralization resulted in total collateral pledged of $240.4 billion to serve members' total borrowing capacity of $197.6 billion. The estimated value of pledged collateral is discounted in order to offset market, credit, and liquidity risks that may affect the collateral's realizable value in the event it must be liquidated. Over-collateralization by one member is not applied to another member.

69

The table below shows the total pledged collateral (unadjusted for Collateralized Maintenance Requirements).

	June 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
(Dollars in billions)			Percent of Total				Percent of Total
	Collateral Amount		Pledged Collateral		Collateral Amount		Pledged Collateral
Single-family loans	$	131.8	55	%	$	125.0	56	%
Multi-family loans	36.3		15		33.2		15
Commercial real estate	31.5		13		26.5		12
Home equity loans/lines of credit	20.7		9		20.4		9
Bond securities	19.6		8		17.0		8
Farm real estate	0.5		(a)		0.6		(a)
Total	$	240.4	100	%	$	222.7	100	%

(a) Less than one percent of total pledged collateral.

At June 30, 2014, 64 percent of collateral was related to residential mortgage lending in single-family loans and home equity loans/lines of credit. The collateral composition remained relatively constant compared to the end of 2013.

Borrowing Capacity/Lendable Value. We determine borrowing capacity against pledged collateral by establishing minimum levels of over-collateralization ("Collateralized Maintenance Requirements" or "CMRs"). CMRs are determined by statistical analysis and certain management assumptions applied to the estimated value of pledged collateral. All securities collateral and loan collateral pledged by certain members is subject to an ongoing market valuation process.

CMRs result in a lendable value, or borrowing capacity, that is less than the amount of pledged collateral. CMRs vary based on the financial strength of the member institution, the issuer of bond collateral or the quality of securitized assets, the marketability of the pledged assets, the payment performance of pledged loan collateral, and the quality of loan collateral as reflected in the manner in which it was underwritten and is administered.

The table below indicates the range of lendable values remaining after the application of CMRs for each major collateral type pledged at June 30, 2014. We periodically evaluate the CMRs applied by completing internal evaluations or engaging third-party specialists. In the second quarter of 2014, we updated our CMRs based on these evaluations. The resulting impact on secured borrowing capacity was low for most members.

	Lending Values Applied to Collateral
Blanket Status
Prime 1-4 family loans	67-87%
Multi-family loans	53-77%
Prime home equity loans/lines of credit	57-77%
Commercial real estate loans	61-80%
Farm real estate loans	65-83%
Listing Status/Physical Delivery
Cash/U.S. Government/U.S. Treasury/U.S. agency securities	79-100%
U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities/CMOs	79-98%
Private-label residential mortgage-backed securities	43-87%
Private-label commercial mortgage-backed securities	33-86%
Municipal securities	25-93%
Small Business Administration certificates	88-93%
1-4 family loans	67-94%
Multi-family loans	57-87%
Home equity loans/lines of credit	63-87%
Commercial real estate loans	65-91%
Farm real estate loans	67-91%

70

The ranges of lendable values exclude subprime and nontraditional mortgage loan collateral. Loans pledged by lower risk members for which we require only high level, summary reporting of eligible balances are generally discounted more heavily than loans on which we have detailed loan structure and underwriting information.

Subprime and Nontraditional Mortgage Loan Collateral.We have policies and processes to identify subprime loans pledged by members to which we have high credit risk exposure or have extended significant credit. We perform on-site collateral reviews, sometimes engaging third parties, of members we deem to have high credit risk exposure. The reviews include identification of loans that meet our definitions of subprime and nontraditional. During the review process, we estimate overall subprime and nontraditional mortgage exposure levels by performing random statistical sampling of residential loans in the members' pledged portfolios.

Collateralization of Former Members. Underwriting criteria, including the forms of collateral that may be pledged, are generally the same for members and former members. One exception is that former members with outstanding Advances must either deliver sufficient collateral into our custody to cover their Advances (regardless of whether they would qualify for Blanket or Listing status as a member) or have their Advances covered by a subordination or other acceptable form of intercreditor agreement from/by another FHLBank to continue our credit risk exposure to former members. On June 30, 2014, we had $1.7 billion of Advances outstanding to former members. This amount continued to be overcollateralized through a combination of subordination or other intercreditor security agreements with other FHLBanks and marketable securities and loan collateral held in our custody.

Internal Credit Ratings. We perform credit underwriting of our members and nonborrower members and assign them an internal credit rating on a scale of one to seven, with a higher number representing a less favorable assessment of the institution's credit and overall financial condition. The credit ratings are based on internal credit analysis and consideration of available credit ratings from independent credit rating organizations. The credit ratings are used in conjunction with other measures of the credit risk and pledged collateral, as described above, in managing credit risk exposure to member and nonmember borrowers.

The following tables show the distribution of internal credit ratings we assigned to member and nonmember borrowers, which we use to help manage credit risk exposure.

(Dollars in billions)
June 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Borrowers				Borrowers
		Collateral-Based				Collateral-Based
Credit		Borrowing		Credit		Borrowing
Rating	Number	Capacity		Rating	Number	Capacity
1-3	520	$	122.5	1-3	505	$	108.4
4	121	70.1		4	125	58.7
5	55	4.4		5	59	4.0
6	17	0.3		6	26	0.9
7	15	0.3		7	22	0.4
Total	728	$	197.6	Total	737	$	172.4

A “4” rating is our assessment of the lowest level of satisfactory performance. At June 30, 2014, 87 borrowers (12 percent of the total) had credit ratings of "5" through "7," a net decrease of 20 from the end of 2013. These members had $5 billion of borrowing capacity at June 30, 2014. There was a net decrease of four members who had a "4" credit rating and a net increase of 15 member with credit ratings of "1," "2," or "3." We believe these trends indicate a general stabilization and improvement in the overall financial condition of our members during the recovery cycle for the overall economy and housing market.

Member Failures, Closures, and Receiverships. There was one member failure in 2014 through the date of this filing. All Advance exposure to this member was fully collateralized by assets held in our custody at the time of failure. This member had $6 million of Advances outstanding, all of which were repaid. We had no other outstanding exposure to this member.

71

MPP

Overview. We believe that the residual amount of credit risk exposure to loans in the MPP is modest and on a downward trend, based on the same factors described in the 2013 Form 10-K. Charge-offs totaled $0.9 million in the first six months of 2014 and $13.8 million program-to-date through June 30, 2014 in relation to $5.9 billion of unpaid principal balance on conventional loans at June 30, 2014. In addition to the low program-to-date charge-offs, our financial analysis suggests that future credit losses will not harm capital adequacy and will not significantly affect profitability except under the most extreme and unlikely credit conditions.

Portfolio Loan Characteristics.The following tables show loan-to-value ratios for conventional loans based on values estimated at the origination dates and current values estimated at the noted periods. The estimated current ratios are based on original loan values, principal paydowns that have occurred since origination, and a third-party estimate of changes in historical home prices for the zip code in which each loan resides. Both measures are weighted by current unpaid principal.

	Based on Estimated Origination Value					Based On Estimated Current Value
Loan-to-Value	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013		Loan-to-Value	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
<= 60%	18	%	19	%	<= 60%	37	%	33	%
> 60% to 70%	17		17		> 60% to 70%	27		26
> 70% to 80%	54		53		> 70% to 80%	25		25
> 80% to 90%	7		7		> 80% to 90%	8		11
> 90%	4		4		> 90% to 100%	2		3
					> 100%	1		2
Weighted Average	71	%	71	%	Weighted Average	63	%	65	%

Overall loan-to-value ratios have shown positive trends over the past few years as the overall housing market has undergone a sustained recovery. At June 30, 2014, we estimated that 11 percent of loans have current loan-to-value ratios above 80 percent, down from 16 percent at the end of 2013. We estimate the aggregate portfolio has a weighted average current loan-to-value ratio of 63 percent, eight percent lower than what was estimated at origination and two percent lower from the end of 2013. We believe the overall trend is consistent with an acceptable credit quality of the portfolio.

Based on the available data, we believe we have little exposure to loans in the MPP considered to have characteristics of “subprime” or “alternative/nontraditional” loans. Further, we do not knowingly purchase any loan that violates the terms of our Anti-Predatory Lending Policy.

Lender Risk Account. Conventional mortgage loans are supported against credit losses by various combinations of primary mortgage insurance (PMI), supplemental mortgage insurance (SMI) and the Lender Risk Account. The Lender Risk Account is a holdback of a portion of the initial purchase price. Starting after five years from the loan purchase date, we may return the holdback to PFIs if they manage credit risk to pre-defined acceptable levels of exposure on the loan pools they sell to us. The Lender Risk Account is funded by the FHLBank from a portion of the purchase proceeds to cover expected credit losses for a specific pool of loans. As a result, some pools of loans may have sufficient credit enhancements to recapture all losses while other pools of loans may not have enough credit enhancements to recapture all losses. The amount of loss claims against the Lender Risk Account in the first six months of 2014 was approximately $1 million. The Account had balances of $118 million and $115 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. For more information, see Note 9 of the Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements.

Credit Performance. The table below provides an analysis of conventional loans delinquent or in foreclosure, along with the national average serious delinquency rate.

	Conventional Loan Delinquencies
(Dollars in millions)	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Early stage delinquencies - unpaid principal balance (1)	$	45		$	59
Serious delinquencies - unpaid principal balance (2)	49			58
Early stage delinquency rate (3)	0.8		%	1.0		%
Serious delinquency rate (4)	0.8			1.0
National average serious delinquency rate (5)	2.6			2.9

(1) Includes conventional loans 30 to 89 days delinquent and not in foreclosure.

(2) Includes conventional loans that are 90 days or more past due or where the decision of foreclosure or a similar alternative such as pursuit of deed-in-lieu has been reported.

(3) Early stage delinquencies expressed as a percentage of the total conventional loan portfolio.

(4) Serious delinquencies expressed as a percentage of the total conventional loan portfolio.

(5) National average number of fixed-rate prime conventional loans that are 90 days or more past due or in the process of foreclosure is based on the most recent national delinquency data available. The June 30, 2014 rate is based on March 31, 2014 data.

The MPP has experienced a moderate amount of delinquencies and foreclosures, with rates continuing to be well below national averages. We consider a high risk loan as having a current loan-to-value ratio above 100 percent. At June 30, 2014, high risk loans had experienced relatively moderate serious delinquencies (i.e., delinquencies that are 90 days or more past due or in the process of foreclosure). For example, of the $69 million of conventional principal balances with current estimated loan-to-values above 100 percent, $5 million (seven percent) were seriously delinquent. We believe these data further support our view that the overall portfolio is comprised of high quality loans.

Credit Losses. The following table shows the effects of credit enhancements on the determination of the allowance for credit losses at the noted periods.

(In millions)	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Estimated incurred credit losses, before credit enhancements	$	(24	)	$	(31	)
Estimated amounts deemed recoverable by:
Primary mortgage insurance	2			3
Supplemental mortgage insurance	13			17
Lender Risk Account	3			4
Allowance for credit losses, after credit enhancements	$	(6	)	$	(7	)

The data presented above are aggregated information on the health of the overall portfolio. Credit risk exposure depends on the actual and potential credit performance of the loans in each pool compared to the pool's equity (on individual loans) and credit enhancements, including PMI (for individual loans), the Lender Risk Account, and SMI.

The allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2014 did not change materially compared to the end of 2013. Delinquency trends continued to decrease while housing prices remained relatively stable.

In addition to the allowance for credit losses recorded, we regularly analyze potential ranges of additional lifetime credit risk exposure for the loans in the MPP. Even under adverse scenarios for either home prices or unemployment rates, we do not expect further credit losses to significantly decrease our overall annual profitability or dividends payable to members, or to materially affect our capital adequacy. For example, assuming a 20 percent decline in all home prices over the next two years, we estimate that our lifetime credit losses, net of the effect of credit enhancements, could increase by approximately $16 million, which would decrease annual ROE by approximately only 0.05 percentage points over the next five years (most of the losses are estimated to occur in the next five years).

73

Credit Risk Exposure to Insurance Providers.

PMI

Some of our conventional loans carry PMI as a credit enhancement feature. Based on the guidelines of the MPP, we have assessed that we do not have any credit risk exposure to the PMI providers.

SMI

Another credit enhancement feature on some conventional loans is SMI purchased from Genworth and Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation (MGIC). Beginning February 1, 2011, we discontinued use of SMI as a credit enhancement for new loan purchases; instead, we now augment credit enhancements with a greater amount of the purchase proceeds added to the Lender Risk Account. At June 30, 2014, we had $2.1 billion of conventional loans purchased prior to February 2011 with outstanding SMI coverage through Genworth and MGIC that are paying down over time.

In a scenario in which home prices do not change and both providers fail to pay their insurance coverage on defaulting loans (with an assumption that we would obtain a 50 percent recovery rate), we estimated at June 30, 2014 our exposure to the providers over the life of the MPP loans was $7 million. In an adverse scenario in which home prices decline 20 percent over the next two years and both providers fail to pay claims (with the same recovery assumption), we estimate exposure to be approximately $13 million.

Based on our most-recent analysis including consulting with a third-party rating agency, we believe it is likely each provider will fulfill its contractual insurance obligations. However, because of the uncertainty of this assessment we concluded, as of June 30, 2014, that payments on a portion of our SMI coverage may not be probable and have incorporated an estimate of such in our loan loss reserve. We estimate that $0.4 million of payments are not probable at June 30, 2014. The estimation of SMI exposure, similar to overall trends of our loan losses, has declined in the last year.

Investments

Liquidity Investments.

Liquidity investments are either unsecured, guaranteed by the U.S. government, or secured (i.e., collateralized). For unsecured liquidity investments, we invest in the debt securities of highly rated, investment-grade institutions, have appropriate and conservative limits on dollar and maturity exposure to each institution, and have strong credit underwriting practices, including active monitoring of credit quality of our counterparties and of the environment in which they operate. We believe we purchased all liquidity investments from counterparties that have a strong ability to repay principal and interest.

Our unsecured liquidity investments to a counterparty or group of affiliated counterparties are limited by regulation to maturities of no more than nine months and limited to a dollar amount based on a percentage of eligible regulatory capital (defined as the lessor of our regulatory capital or the eligible amount of a counterparty's Tier 1 capital). The permissible percentage ranges from one percent to 15 percent based on the counterparty's lowest long-term credit rating of its debt from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). In 2014, pursuant to a Finance Agency Regulation, we have reduced reliance on NRSRO ratings for unsecured investment activity by enhancing internal credit risk analytics on unsecured counterparties.

74

The lowest long-term credit rating for a counterparty to which we are permitted to extend credit is double-B. In practice, for many years we have generally invested funds only in those eligible institutions with long-term credit ratings of at least single-A. In addition, we restrict maturities, reduce dollar exposure, and avoid new investments with counterparties we deem to represent elevated credit risk.

The following table presents the carrying value of liquidity investments outstanding in relation to the counterparties' lowest long-term credit ratings provided by Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and/or Fitch Advisory Services. For resale agreements, the ratings shown are based on ratings of the associated collateral.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, as well as many business days between these two dates, we purchased a portion of our total liquidity investments from counterparties for which the investments are secured with collateral (secured resale agreements). We believe these investments present little or no credit risk exposure to us.

At June 30, 2014, all of the $3.1 billion of unsecured liquidity exposure was to counterparties with holding companies domiciled in countries receiving either AAA or AA long-term sovereign ratings. Furthermore, we restrict a significant portion of unsecured lending to overnight maturities, which further limits risk exposure to these counterparties. By Finance Agency Regulation, all counterparties exposed to non-U.S. countries are required to be domestic U.S. branches of foreign counterparties. We also limit exposure to counterparties and countries that could have significant direct or indirect exposure to European sovereign debt.

Mortgage-Backed Securities.

GSE Mortgage-Backed Securities

Most of our mortgage-backed securities are residential GSE securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which provide credit safeguards by guaranteeing either timely or ultimate payments of principal and interest. We believe that the conservatorships of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac lower the chance that they would not be able to fulfill their credit guarantees; we believe the securities issued by these two GSEs are effectively government guaranteed. In addition, based on the data available to us and on our purchase practices, we believe that most of the mortgage loans backing our GSE mortgage-backed securities are of high quality with acceptable credit performance.

76

Mortgage-Backed Securities Issued by Other Government Agencies

We also invest in mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae and mortgage-backed securities issued and guaranteed by the NCUA. These investments totaled $2.2 billion at June 30, 2014. The majority of the Ginnie Mae securities are fixed rate. The NCUA securities have floating rate coupons tied to one-month LIBOR with interest rate caps ranging from seven to eight percent. We believe that the strength of the issuers' guarantees and backing by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government is sufficient to protect us against credit losses on these securities.

Private Label Mortgage-Backed Securities

The FHLBank held no private-label mortgage-backed securities at June 30, 2014.

Derivatives

Credit Risk Exposure. We mitigate most of the credit risk exposure resulting from interest rate swap transactions through collateralization. The table below presents the derivative positions to which the FHLBank had credit risk exposure at June 30, 2014.

(2) Represents derivative transactions cleared with Clearinghouses, which are not rated.

(3) Represents Mandatory Delivery Contracts.

77

Based on both the gross and net exposures, we had a minimal amount of residual credit risk exposure throughout the first six months of 2014, totaling $5 million. Gross exposure would likely increase if interest rates rise and could increase if the composition of our derivatives change. However, contractual collateral provisions in these derivatives limit our exposure to acceptable levels.

The following table presents counterparties that provided 10 percent or more of the total notional amount of bilateral interest rate swap derivatives outstanding.

(In millions)
June 30, 2014						December 31, 2013
Counterparty	Credit Rating Category	Notional Principal		Net Unsecured Exposure		Counterparty	Credit Rating Category	Notional Principal		Net Unsecured Exposure

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.	Aa/AA	1,286		—		Royal Bank of    Scotland PLC	A	1,142		—

Although we cannot predict if we will realize credit risk losses from any of our derivatives counterparties, we believe that all of them will be able to continue making timely interest payments and, more generally, to continue to satisfy the terms and conditions of their derivative contracts with us. As of June 30, 2014, we had $1.4 billion of notional principal of interest rate swaps outstanding to one member, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan), which also had outstanding credit services with us totaling $39.7 billion. Due to the amount of market value collateralization, we had no outstanding credit exposure to this counterparty related to interest rate swaps outstanding.

Lehman Brothers Derivatives. See Note 19 of the Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements for information on derivatives we had with Lehman Brothers at the time of their bankruptcy in September 2008.

Exposure to Member Concentration

We regularly assess concentration risks from business activity. The large increase over the last two years in Advance borrowings from one member, JPMorgan, raised borrower concentration ratios. We believe that the current concentration of Advance activity is consistent with our risk management philosophy.

Our business is designed to support significant changes in asset levels without having to undergo material changes in staffing, operations, risk practices, or general resource needs. A key reason for this scalability is that our Capital Plan provides for additional capital when Mission Assets grow and the opportunity for us to retire capital when Mission Assets decline, thereby acting, along with our efficient operating expenses, to preserve competitive profitability.

We believe the effect on credit risk exposure from borrower concentration is minimal because of our application of normal credit risk mitigations, the most important of which is over-collateralization of borrowings. In the remote possibility of failure of a member to whom we lent a large amount of Advances, combined with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's decision not to repay Advances, we would implement our member failure plan. Our member failure plan, which we test periodically, would liquidate collateral to recover losses from losing principal and interest on the Advance balances.

Advance concentration has a minor effect on market risk exposure because Advances are largely match funded. Finally, the increase in Advance concentration has not affected capital adequacy because Advance growth from the member is supported by new purchases of capital stock as required by the Capital Plan.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity Overview

Our principal long-term source of funding and liquidity is from access to the capital markets through participation in the issuance of cost-effective FHLBank System debt securities (Consolidated Obligations) and through execution of derivative

78

transactions. We also raise liquidity via our liquidity investment portfolio and the ability to sell certain investments without significant accounting consequences. As shown on the Statements of Cash Flows, in the first six months of 2014, our participations in the System's debt issuances totaled $113.3 billion for Discount Notes and $31.8 billion for Bonds. The System's favorable debt ratings, the implicit U.S. government backing of our debt, and our effective funding management were, and continue to be, instrumental in ensuring satisfactory access to the capital markets.

Our liquidity position remained strong during the first six months of 2014 and our overall ability to fund our operations through debt issuances at acceptable interest costs remained sufficient. Although we can make no assurances, we expect this to continue to be the case, and we believe the possibility of a liquidity or funding crisis in the FHLBank System that would impair our FHLBank's ability to participate in issuances of new debt, service outstanding debt, maintain adequate capitalization, or pay competitive dividends is remote.

We must meet both operational and contingency liquidity requirements. We satisfied the operational liquidity requirement both by meeting a contingency liquidity requirement discussed below and because we were able to adequately access the capital markets to issue debt. In addition, Finance Agency guidance requires us to target at least 5 to 15 consecutive days of positive liquidity based on specific assumptions under two scenarios. We target holding at least three extra days of positive liquidity under each scenario. The amount of overnight liquidity per the Finance Agency guidance and our internal operational liquidity measures was in the range of $5 billion to $12 billion during the first six months of 2014.

Contingency Liquidity Requirement

Contingency liquidity risk is the potential inability to meet liquidity needs because our access to the capital markets to issue Consolidated Obligations is restricted or suspended for a period of time due to a market disruption, operational failure, or real or perceived credit quality problems. We continued to hold an ample amount of liquidity reserves to protect against contingency liquidity risk.

Contingency Liquidity Requirement (in millions)	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Total Contingency Liquidity Reserves (1)	$	26,811		$	30,699
Total Requirement (2)	(17,623		)	(11,752		)
Excess Contingency Liquidity Available	$	9,188		$	18,947

(1) Includes, among others, cash, overnight Federal funds, overnight deposits, self-liquidating term Federal funds, 95 percent of the market value of available-for-sale negotiable securities, and 75 percent of the market value of certain held-to-maturity obligations, including obligations of the United States, U.S. government agency obligations and mortgage-backed securities.

(2) Includes net liabilities maturing in the next seven business days, assets traded not yet settled, Advance commitments outstanding, Advances maturing in the next seven business days, and a three percent hypothetical increase in Advances.

Deposit Reserve Requirement

To support our member deposits, we also must meet a statutory deposit reserve requirement. The sum of our investments in obligations of the United States, deposits in eligible banks or trust companies, and Advances with a final maturity not exceeding five years must equal or exceed the current amount of member deposits. The following table presents the components of this liquidity requirement.

Deposit Reserve Requirement (in millions)	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Total Eligible Deposit Reserves	$	68,873		$	73,531

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at June 30, 2014. The allocations according to the expiration terms and payment due dates of these obligations were not materially different from those at the end of 2013. Changes reflected normal business variations. We believe that, as in the past, we will continue to have sufficient liquidity, including from access to the debt markets to issue Consolidated Obligations, to satisfy these obligations timely.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of June 30, 2014, the FHLBank's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, these two officers each concluded that, as of June 30, 2014, the FHLBank maintained effective disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is (1) accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure and (2) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

As of June 30, 2014, the FHLBank's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the FHLBank's internal control over financial reporting. Based upon that evaluation, these two officers each concluded that there were no changes in the FHLBank's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the FHLBank's internal control over financial reporting.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2014

Basis of Presentation [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation [Text Block]

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim financial statements of the FHLBank have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates. These assumptions and estimates affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The interim financial statements presented are unaudited, but they include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for such periods. These financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the FHLBank's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Results for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.

The FHLBank presents certain financial instruments, including derivative instruments and securities purchased under agreements to resell, on a net basis when it has a legal right of offset and all other requirements for netting are met (collectively referred to as the netting requirements). For these instruments, the FHLBank has elected to offset its asset and liability positions, as well as cash collateral received or pledged, when it has met the netting requirements. The FHLBank did not have any offsetting liabilities related to its securities purchased under agreements to resell for the periods presented.

The net exposure for these financial instruments can change on a daily basis; therefore, there may be a delay between the time this exposure change is identified and additional collateral is requested, and the time this collateral is received or pledged. Likewise, there may be a delay for excess collateral to be returned. For derivative instruments that meet the requirements for netting, any excess cash collateral received or pledged is recognized as a derivative liability or derivative asset. Additional information regarding these agreements is provided in Note 10. Based on the fair value of the related collateral held, the securities purchased under agreements to resell were fully collateralized for the periods presented.

Nonmember Affiliates. The FHLBank has relationships with three nonmember affiliates, the Kentucky Housing Corporation, the Ohio Housing Finance Agency and the Tennessee Housing Development Agency. The FHLBank had no investments in or borrowings to any of these nonmember affiliates at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. The FHLBank has executed standby bond purchase agreements with one state housing authority whereby the FHLBank, for a fee, agrees as a liquidity provider if required, to purchase and hold the authority's bonds until the designated marketing agent can find a suitable investor or the housing authority repurchases the bond according to a schedule established by the standby agreement. During the first six months of 2014 and 2013, the FHLBank was not required to purchase any bonds under these agreements.

The FHLBank notes all transactions with other FHLBanks on the face of its financial statements. Occasionally, the FHLBank loans short-term funds to and borrows short-term funds from other FHLBanks. These loans and borrowings are transacted at then current market rates when traded. There were no such loans or borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. The following table details the average daily balance of lending and borrowing between the FHLBank and other FHLBanks for the six months endedJune 30, 2014 and 2013.

The FHLBank may, from time to time, assume the outstanding primary liability for Consolidated Obligations of another FHLBank (at then current market rates on the day when the transfer is traded) rather than issuing new debt for which the FHLBank is the primary obligor. The FHLBank then becomes the primary obligor on the transferred debt. There were no Consolidated Obligations transferred to the FHLBank during the six months endedJune 30, 2014 or 2013. The FHLBank had no Consolidated Obligations transferred to other FHLBanks during these periods.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]

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

MortgageLoans Held for Portfolio- FHA

The FHLBank invests in fixed-rate mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties insured by the FHA. Any losses from such loans are expected to be recovered from the FHA. Any losses from these loans that are not recovered from the FHA would be due to a claim rejection by the FHA and, as such, would be recoverable from the selling participating financial institutions (PFIs). Therefore, the FHLBank only has credit risk for these loans if the seller or servicer fails to pay for losses not covered by insurance. As a result, the FHLBank did not establish an allowance for credit losses on its FHA insured mortgage loans. Furthermore, due to the insurance, none of these mortgage loans have been placed on non-accrual status.

Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio - Conventional Mortgage Purchase Program (MPP)

The allowance for conventional loans is determined by analyses that include consideration of various data observations such as past performance, current performance, loan portfolio characteristics, collateral-related characteristics, industry data, and prevailing economic conditions. The measurement of the allowance for credit losses consists of: (1) collectively evaluating homogeneous pools of residential mortgage loans; (2) reviewing specifically identified loans for impairment; and (3) considering other relevant qualitative factors.

Collectively Evaluated Mortgage Loans. The credit risk analysis of conventional loans evaluated collectively for impairment considers historical delinquency migration, applies estimated loss severities, and incorporates the associated credit enhancements in order to determine the FHLBank's best estimate of probable incurred losses at the reporting date. The credit risk analysis of all conventional mortgage loans is performed at the individual Master Commitment Contract level to properly determine the credit enhancements available to recover losses on loans under each individual Master Commitment Contract. The Master Commitment Contract is an agreement with a member in which the member agrees to make every attempt to sell a specific dollar amount of loans to the FHLBank over a one-year period. Migration analysis is a methodology for determining, through the FHLBank's experience over a historical period, the rate of default on loans. The FHLBank applies migration analysis to loans based on payment status categories such as current, 30, 60, and 90 days past due. The FHLBank then estimates, based on historical experience, how many loans in these categories may migrate to a loss realization event and applies a current loss severity to estimate losses. The estimated losses are then reduced by the probable cash flows resulting from credit enhancements available. Any credit enhancement cash flows that are projected and assessed as not probable of receipt do not reduce estimated losses.

Individually Evaluated Mortgage Loans. Conventional mortgage loans that are considered troubled debt restructurings are specifically identified for purposes of calculating the allowance for credit losses. The FHLBank measures impairment of these specifically identified loans by either estimating the present value of expected cash flows, estimating the loan's observable market price, or estimating the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Specifically identified loans evaluated for impairment are removed from the collectively evaluated mortgage loan population.

Qualitative Factors. The FHLBank also assesses other qualitative factors in its estimation of loan losses for the collectively evaluated population. This amount represents a subjective management judgment, based on facts and circumstances that exist as of the reporting date, that is intended to cover other incurred losses that may not otherwise be captured in the methodology described above.

Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Types of Derivatives

The FHLBank may enter into interest rate swaps (including callable and putable swaps), swaptions, interest rate cap and floor agreements, calls, puts, futures, and forward contracts to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates.

An interest rate swap is an agreement between two entities to exchange cash flows in the future. The agreement sets the dates on which the cash flows will be paid and the manner in which the cash flows will be calculated. One of the simplest forms of an interest rate swap involves the promise by one party to pay cash flows equivalent to the interest on a notional principal amount at a predetermined fixed rate for a given period of time. In return for this promise, this party receives cash flows equivalent to the interest on the same notional principal amount at a variable-rate index for the same period of time. The variable-rate transacted by the FHLBank in its derivatives is the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).

Application of Interest Rate Swaps

The FHLBank generally uses derivatives as fair value hedges of underlying financial instruments. However, because the FHLBank uses interest rate swaps when they are considered to be the most cost-effective alternative to achieve the FHLBank's financial and risk management objectives, it may enter into interest rate swaps that do not necessarily qualify for hedge accounting (economic hedges). The FHLBank re-evaluates its hedging strategies from time to time and may change the hedging techniques it uses or adopt new strategies.

Loans and Leases Receivable, Troubled Debt Restructuring Policy [Policy Text Block]

A loan considered a troubled debt restructuring is individually evaluated for impairment when determining its related allowance for credit losses. Credit loss is measured by factoring in expected cash shortfalls (i.e., loss severity rate) incurred as of the reporting date.

Derivatives, Methods of Accounting, Hedging Derivatives [Policy Text Block]

The FHLBank documents at inception all relationships between derivatives designated as hedging instruments and the hedged items, its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions, and its method of assessing effectiveness. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to assets and liabilities on the Statements of Condition.

Derivatives, Methods of Accounting, Hedge Effectiveness [Policy Text Block]

The FHLBank also formally assesses (both at the hedge's inception and at least quarterly) whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain effective in future periods. The FHLBank currently uses regression analyses to assess the effectiveness of its hedges.

Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

The FHLBank has identified two primary operating segments based on its method of internal reporting: Traditional Member Finance and the MPP. These segments reflect the FHLBank's two primary Mission Asset Activities and the manner in which they are managed from the perspective of development, resource allocation, product delivery, pricing, credit risk and operational administration. The segments identify the principal ways the FHLBank provides services to member stockholders.

Fair Value Transfer, Policy [Policy Text Block]

The FHLBank reviews the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in/out at fair value as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occur.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]

The fair value amounts recorded on the Statements of Condition and presented in the related note disclosures have been determined by the FHLBank using available market information and the FHLBank's best judgment of appropriate valuation methods. The fair values reflect the FHLBank's judgment of how a market participant would estimate the fair values.

Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans [Text Block]

Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

Qualified Defined Benefit Multi-employer Plan. The FHLBank participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan), a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan. Under the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan, contributions made by one participating employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers because assets contributed by an employer are not segregated in a separate account or restricted to provide benefits only to employees of that employer. Also, in the event a participating employer is unable to meet its contribution requirements, the required contributions for the other participating employers could increase proportionately. The Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan covers substantially all officers and employees of the FHLBank who meet certain eligibility requirements. Contributions to the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan charged to compensation and benefit expense were $1,529,000 and $1,229,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $3,058,000 and $2,458,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Qualified Defined Contribution Plan. The FHLBank also participates in the Pentegra Defined Contribution Plan for Financial Institutions, a tax-qualified, defined contribution pension plan. The FHLBank contributes a percentage of the participants' compensation by making a matching contribution equal to a percentage of voluntary employee contributions, subject to certain limitations. The FHLBank contributed $184,000 and $172,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $557,000, and $524,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Nonqualified Supplemental Defined Benefit Retirement Plan. The FHLBank maintains a nonqualified, unfunded defined benefit plan. The plan ensures that participants receive the full amount of benefits to which they would have been entitled under the qualified defined benefit plan in the absence of limits on benefit levels imposed by the IRS. There are no funded plan assets. The FHLBank has established a grantor trust, which is included in held-to-maturity securities on the Statements of Condition, to meet future benefit obligations and current payments to beneficiaries.

Postretirement Benefits Plan. The FHLBank also sponsors a postretirement benefits plan that includes health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees. Future retirees are eligible for the postretirement benefits plan if they were hired prior to August 1, 1990, are age 55 or older, and their age plus years of continuous service at retirement are greater than or equal to 80. Spouses are covered subject to required contributions. There are no funded plan assets that have been designated to provide postretirement benefits.

Allowance for Credit Losses [Abstract]

Allowance for Credit Losses [Text Block]

Allowance for Credit Losses

The FHLBank has established an allowance methodology for each of the FHLBank's portfolio segments: credit products; FHA mortgage loans held for portfolio; and conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio.

Credit products

The FHLBank manages its credit exposure to credit products through an integrated approach that includes establishing a credit limit for each borrower, includes an ongoing review of each borrower's financial condition and is coupled with detailed collateral and lending policies to limit risk of loss while balancing borrowers' needs for a reliable source of funding. In addition, the FHLBank lends to eligible borrowers in accordance with federal statutes, including the Federal Home Loan Bank Act (FHLBank Act), and Finance Agency Regulations, which require the FHLBank to obtain sufficient collateral to fully secure credit products. The estimated value of the collateral required to secure each member's credit products is calculated by applying collateral discounts, or haircuts, to the value of the collateral. The FHLBank accepts certain investment securities, residential mortgage loans, deposits, and other real estate related assets as collateral. In addition, community financial institutions (CFIs) are eligible to utilize expanded statutory collateral provisions for small business and agriculture loans. The FHLBank's capital stock owned by its member borrower is also pledged as collateral. Collateral arrangements and a member’s borrowing capacity vary based on the financial condition and performance of the institution, the types of collateral pledged and the overall quality of those assets. The FHLBank can also require additional or substitute collateral to protect its security interest. Management of the FHLBank believes that these policies effectively manage the FHLBank's credit risk from credit products.

Members experiencing financial difficulties are subject to FHLBank-performed “stress tests” of the impact of poorly performing assets on the member’s capital and loss reserve positions. Depending on the results of these tests and the level of overcollateralization, a member may be allowed to maintain pledged loan assets in its custody, may be required to deliver those loans into the custody of the FHLBank or its agent, and/or may be required to provide details on these loans to facilitate an estimate of their fair value. The FHLBank perfects its security interest in all pledged collateral. The FHLBank Act affords any security interest granted to the FHLBank by a member priority over the claims or rights of any other party except for claims or rights of a third party that would be entitled to priority under otherwise applicable law and that are held by a bona fide purchaser for value or by a secured party holding a prior perfected security interest.

Using a risk-based approach, the FHLBank considers the payment status, collateralization levels, and borrower's financial condition to be indicators of credit quality for its credit products. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the FHLBank had rights to collateral on a member-by-member basis with an estimated value in excess of its outstanding extensions of credit.

The FHLBank evaluates and makes changes to its collateral guidelines, as necessary, based on current market conditions. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the FHLBank did not have any Advances that were past due, in non-accrual status, or impaired. In addition, there were no troubled debt restructurings related to credit products of the FHLBank during the six months endedJune 30, 2014 or 2013.

The FHLBank has not experienced any credit losses on Advances since it was founded in 1932. Based upon the collateral held as security, its credit extension and collateral policies, management's credit analysis and the repayment history on credit products, the FHLBank did not record any credit losses on credit products as of June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. Accordingly, the FHLBank did not record any allowance for credit losses on Advances.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no liability to reflect an allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures was recorded. See Note 19 for additional information on the FHLBank's off-balance sheet credit exposure.

MortgageLoans Held for Portfolio- FHA

The FHLBank invests in fixed-rate mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties insured by the FHA. Any losses from such loans are expected to be recovered from the FHA. Any losses from these loans that are not recovered from the FHA would be due to a claim rejection by the FHA and, as such, would be recoverable from the selling participating financial institutions (PFIs). Therefore, the FHLBank only has credit risk for these loans if the seller or servicer fails to pay for losses not covered by insurance. As a result, the FHLBank did not establish an allowance for credit losses on its FHA insured mortgage loans. Furthermore, due to the insurance, none of these mortgage loans have been placed on non-accrual status.

Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio - Conventional Mortgage Purchase Program (MPP)

The allowance for conventional loans is determined by analyses that include consideration of various data observations such as past performance, current performance, loan portfolio characteristics, collateral-related characteristics, industry data, and prevailing economic conditions. The measurement of the allowance for credit losses consists of: (1) collectively evaluating homogeneous pools of residential mortgage loans; (2) reviewing specifically identified loans for impairment; and (3) considering other relevant qualitative factors.

Collectively Evaluated Mortgage Loans. The credit risk analysis of conventional loans evaluated collectively for impairment considers historical delinquency migration, applies estimated loss severities, and incorporates the associated credit enhancements in order to determine the FHLBank's best estimate of probable incurred losses at the reporting date. The credit risk analysis of all conventional mortgage loans is performed at the individual Master Commitment Contract level to properly determine the credit enhancements available to recover losses on loans under each individual Master Commitment Contract. The Master Commitment Contract is an agreement with a member in which the member agrees to make every attempt to sell a specific dollar amount of loans to the FHLBank over a one-year period. Migration analysis is a methodology for determining, through the FHLBank's experience over a historical period, the rate of default on loans. The FHLBank applies migration analysis to loans based on payment status categories such as current, 30, 60, and 90 days past due. The FHLBank then estimates, based on historical experience, how many loans in these categories may migrate to a loss realization event and applies a current loss severity to estimate losses. The estimated losses are then reduced by the probable cash flows resulting from credit enhancements available. Any credit enhancement cash flows that are projected and assessed as not probable of receipt do not reduce estimated losses.

Individually Evaluated Mortgage Loans. Conventional mortgage loans that are considered troubled debt restructurings are specifically identified for purposes of calculating the allowance for credit losses. The FHLBank measures impairment of these specifically identified loans by either estimating the present value of expected cash flows, estimating the loan's observable market price, or estimating the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Specifically identified loans evaluated for impairment are removed from the collectively evaluated mortgage loan population.

Qualitative Factors. The FHLBank also assesses other qualitative factors in its estimation of loan losses for the collectively evaluated population. This amount represents a subjective management judgment, based on facts and circumstances that exist as of the reporting date, that is intended to cover other incurred losses that may not otherwise be captured in the methodology described above.

Rollforward of Allowance for Credit Losses on Mortgage Loans. The following tables present a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses on conventional mortgage loans as well as the recorded investment in mortgage loans by impairment methodology. The recorded investment in a loan is the unpaid principal balance of the loan adjusted for accrued interest, unamortized premiums or discounts, hedging basis adjustments and direct write-downs. The recorded investment is not net of any allowance.

Credit Enhancements. The conventional mortgage loans under the MPP are supported by some combination of credit enhancements (primary mortgage insurance (PMI), supplemental mortgage insurance (SMI) and the Lender Risk Account (LRA), including pooled LRA for those members participating in an aggregated MPP pool). The amount of credit enhancements needed to protect the FHLBank against credit losses is determined through use of a third-party default model. These credit enhancements apply after a homeowner's equity is exhausted. Beginning in February 2011, the FHLBank discontinued the use of SMI for all new loan purchases and replaced it with expanded use of the LRA. The LRA is funded by the FHLBank as a portion of the purchase proceeds to cover expected losses. Excess funds over required balances are distributed to the member in accordance with a step-down schedule that is established upon execution of a Master Commitment Contract, subject to performance of the related loan pool. The LRA established for a pool of loans is limited to only covering losses of that specific pool of loans.

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

(2) Loans that are 90 days or more past due or in the process of foreclosure (including past due or current loans in the process of foreclosure) expressed as a percentage of the total loan portfolio class recorded investment amount.

(3) Each conventional loan past due 90 days or more still accruing interest is on a schedule/scheduled monthly settlement basis and contains one or more credit enhancements. Loans that are well secured and in the process of collection as a result of remaining credit enhancements and schedule/scheduled settlement are not placed on non-accrual status.

The FHLBank did not have any real estate owned at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Troubled Debt Restructurings. A troubled debt restructuring is considered to have occurred when a concession is granted to a borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties and that concession would not have been considered otherwise. The FHLBank's troubled debt restructurings primarily involve loans where an agreement permits the recapitalization of past due amounts up to the original loan amount and certain loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The FHLBank had 46 and 42 modified loans considered troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

A loan considered a troubled debt restructuring is individually evaluated for impairment when determining its related allowance for credit losses. Credit loss is measured by factoring in expected cash shortfalls (i.e., loss severity rate) incurred as of the reporting date.

Table 9.5 - Recorded Investment in Troubled Debt Restructurings (in thousands)

Troubled debt restructurings:	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Conventional MPP Loans	$	8,055	$	7,799

Due to the minimal change in terms of modified loans (i.e., no principal forgiven), the FHLBank's pre-modification recorded investment was not materially different than the post-modification recorded investment in troubled debt restructurings.

Certain conventional MPP loans that were modified within the previous 12 months and considered troubled debt restructurings experienced a payment default as noted in the table below. A borrower is considered to have defaulted on a troubled debt restructuring if the borrower's contractually due principal or interest is 60 days or more past due at any time during the periods presented.

Defaulted troubled debt restructurings:
Conventional MPP Loans	$	554	$	—	$	554	$	—

Modified loans that subsequently default may recognize a higher probability of loss when calculating the allowance for credit losses.

Individually Evaluated Impaired Loans. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, only certain conventional MPP loans individually evaluated for impairment required an allowance for credit losses. Table 9.7 presents the recorded investment, unpaid principal balance, and related allowance associated with these loans.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivatives and Hedging Activities [Text Block]

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Nature of Business Activity

The FHLBank is exposed to interest rate risk primarily from the effect of interest rate changes on its interest-earning assets and on the funding sources that finance these assets. The goal of the FHLBank's interest-rate risk management strategy is not to eliminate interest-rate risk, but to manage it within appropriate limits. To mitigate the risk of loss, the FHLBank has established policies and procedures, which include guidelines on the amount of exposure to interest rate changes it is willing to accept. In addition, the FHLBank monitors the risk to its interest income, net interest margin and average maturity of interest-earning assets and funding sources.

The FHLBank transacts most of its derivatives with large banks and major broker-dealers. Some of these banks and broker-dealers or their affiliates buy, sell, and distribute Consolidated Obligations. Derivative transactions may be either executed with a counterparty (bilateral derivatives) or cleared through a Futures Commission Merchant (i.e., clearing agent), with a Derivative Clearing Organization (cleared derivatives).

Once a derivative transaction has been accepted for clearing by a Derivative Clearing Organization (Clearinghouse), the derivative transaction is novated and the executing counterparty is replaced with the Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse notifies the clearing agent of the required initial and variation margin and the clearing agent notifies the FHLBank of the required initial and variation margin.

Consistent with Finance Agency Regulations, the FHLBank enters into derivatives to manage the interest rate risk exposures inherent in otherwise unhedged assets and funding positions, to achieve the FHLBank's risk management objectives and to act as an intermediary between its members and counterparties. The use of derivatives is an integral part of the FHLBank's financial management strategy. However, Finance Agency Regulations and the FHLBank's financial management policy prohibit trading in, or the speculative use of, derivative instruments and limit credit risk arising from them.

The most common ways in which the FHLBank uses derivatives are to:

▪ reduce the interest rate sensitivity and repricing gaps of assets and liabilities;

▪ manage embedded options in assets and liabilities;

▪ reduce funding costs by combining a derivative with a Consolidated Obligation Bond, as the cost of a combined funding structure can be lower than the cost of a comparable Consolidated Obligation Bond;

▪ preserve a favorable interest rate spread between the yield of an asset (e.g., an Advance) and the cost of the related liability (e.g., the Consolidated Obligation Bond used to fund the Advance); without the use of derivatives, this interest rate spread could be reduced or eliminated when a change in the interest rate on the Advance does not match a change in the interest rate on the Bond; and

▪ protect the value of existing asset or liability positions.

Types of Derivatives

The FHLBank may enter into interest rate swaps (including callable and putable swaps), swaptions, interest rate cap and floor agreements, calls, puts, futures, and forward contracts to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates.

An interest rate swap is an agreement between two entities to exchange cash flows in the future. The agreement sets the dates on which the cash flows will be paid and the manner in which the cash flows will be calculated. One of the simplest forms of an interest rate swap involves the promise by one party to pay cash flows equivalent to the interest on a notional principal amount at a predetermined fixed rate for a given period of time. In return for this promise, this party receives cash flows equivalent to the interest on the same notional principal amount at a variable-rate index for the same period of time. The variable-rate transacted by the FHLBank in its derivatives is the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).

Application of Interest Rate Swaps

The FHLBank generally uses derivatives as fair value hedges of underlying financial instruments. However, because the FHLBank uses interest rate swaps when they are considered to be the most cost-effective alternative to achieve the FHLBank's financial and risk management objectives, it may enter into interest rate swaps that do not necessarily qualify for hedge accounting (economic hedges). The FHLBank re-evaluates its hedging strategies from time to time and may change the hedging techniques it uses or adopt new strategies.

Types of Hedged Items

The FHLBank documents at inception all relationships between derivatives designated as hedging instruments and the hedged items, its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions, and its method of assessing effectiveness. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to assets and liabilities on the Statements of Condition. The FHLBank also formally assesses (both at the hedge's inception and at least quarterly) whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain effective in future periods. The FHLBank currently uses regression analyses to assess the effectiveness of its hedges.The types of assets and liabilities currently hedged with derivatives are:

▪ Consolidated Obligations

▪ Advances

▪ Firm Commitments

Financial Statement Effect and Additional Financial Information

The notional amount of derivatives serves as a factor in determining periodic interest payments or cash flows received and paid. The notional amount reflects the FHLBanks' involvement in the various classes of financial instruments and represents neither the actual amounts exchanged nor the overall exposure of the FHLBank to credit and market risk; the overall risk is much smaller. The risks of derivatives only can be measured meaningfully on a portfolio basis that takes into account the derivatives, the items being hedged and any offsets between the derivatives and the items being hedged.

Table 10.1 summarizes the fair value of derivative instruments, including the effect of netting adjustments and cash collateral. For purposes of this disclosure, the derivative values include the fair value of derivatives and the related accrued interest.

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities

The FHLBank presents derivative instruments, related cash collateral, including initial and variation margin, received or pledged, and associated accrued interest, on a net basis by clearing agent and/or by counterparty when it has met the netting requirements.

Table 10.4 presents separately the fair value of derivative instruments meeting or not meeting netting requirements, including the related collateral received from or pledged to counterparties. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the FHLBank did not receive or pledge any non-cash collateral. Any overcollateralization under an individual clearing agent and/or counterparty level is not included in the determination of the net unsecured amount.

Managing Credit Risk on Derivatives

The FHLBank is subject to credit risk due to the risk of nonperformance by counterparties to its derivative transactions, and manages credit risk through credit analysis, collateral requirements and adherence to the requirements set forth in its policies, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations, and Finance Agency regulations. For bilateral derivatives, the degree of credit risk depends on the extent to which master netting arrangements are included in these contracts to mitigate the risk. The FHLBank requires collateral agreements with collateral delivery thresholds on the majority of its bilateral derivatives.

For cleared derivatives, the Clearinghouse is the FHLBank's counterparty. The requirement that the FHLBank post initial and variation margin through the clearing agent, to the Clearinghouse, exposes the FHLBank to credit risk if the clearing agent or the Clearinghouse fails to meet its obligations. The use of cleared derivatives is intended to mitigate credit risk exposure because a central counterparty is substituted for individual counterparties and collateral is posted daily through a clearing agent, for changes in the value of cleared derivatives.

The FHLBank has analyzed the enforceability of offsetting rights incorporated in its cleared derivative transactions and determined that the exercise of those offsetting rights by a non-defaulting party under these transactions should be upheld under applicable law upon an event of default including bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceeding involving the Clearinghouse or the FHLBank's clearing agent, or both. Based on this analysis, the FHLBank presents a net derivative receivable or payable for all of its transactions through a particular clearing agent with a particular Clearinghouse.

Certain of the FHLBank's bilateral interest rate swap contracts contain provisions that require the FHLBank to post additional collateral with its counterparties if there is deterioration in the FHLBank's credit ratings. The aggregate fair value of all bilateral interest rate swaps with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position at June 30, 2014 was (in thousands) $162,035, for which the FHLBank had posted collateral with a fair value of (in thousands) $92,745 in the normal course of business.

If one of the FHLBank's credit ratings had been lowered to the next lower rating that would have triggered additional collateral to be delivered, the FHLBank would have been required to deliver up to an additional (in thousands) $13,157 of collateral at fair value to its derivatives counterparties at June 30, 2014.

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

Advances

The FHLBank offers a wide range of fixed- and variable-rate Advance products with different maturities, interest rates, payment characteristics and optionality. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the FHLBank had Advances outstanding, including Affordable Housing Program (AHP) Advances (see Note 13), at interest rates ranging from 0.00 percent to 9.20 percent. Advances with interest rates of 0.00 percent are AHP Advances. The following table presents Advance redemptions by contractual maturity, including index-amortizing Advances, which are presented according to their predetermined amortization schedules.

The FHLBank offers Advances to members that may be prepaid on specified dates (call dates) without incurring prepayment or termination fees (callable Advances). In exchange for receiving the right to call the Advance on a predetermined call schedule, the member typically pays a higher rate for the Advance relative to an equivalent maturity, non-callable Advance. If the call option is exercised, replacement funding may be available. Other Advances may only be prepaid subject to a prepayment fee paid to the FHLBank that makes the FHLBank financially indifferent to the prepayment of the Advance.

The FHLBank normally would exercise its option when interest rates increase relative to contractual rates. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the FHLBank had putable Advances, excluding those where the related put options have expired, totaling (in thousands) $2,090,900 and $2,146,400.

Realized Gains and Losses. From time to time the FHLBank may sell securities out of its held-to-maturity portfolio. These securities, generally, have less than 15 percent of the acquired principal outstanding at the time of the sale. These sales are considered maturities for the purposes of security classification. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013, the FHLBank did not sell any held-to-maturity securities.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Analysis

Other than Temporary Impairment Losses, Investments [Abstract]

Other than Temporary Impairment Analysis [Text Block]

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Analysis

The FHLBank evaluates its individual available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities holdings in an unrealized loss position for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. As part of its evaluation for other-than-temporary impairment, the FHLBank considers its intent to sell each debt security and whether it is more likely than not that the FHLBank will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, the FHLBank recognizes an other-than-temporary impairment in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security's amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. For securities in unrealized loss positions that meet neither of these conditions, the FHLBank performs analyses to determine if any of these securities are other-than-temporarily impaired.

For its other U.S. obligations and GSE investments (mortgage-backed securities and non-mortgage-backed securities), the FHLBank determined that the strength of the issuers' guarantees through direct obligations or support from the U.S. government is sufficient to protect the FHLBank from losses based on current expectations. As a result, the FHLBank determined that, as of June 30, 2014, all of the gross unrealized losses on these investments were temporary as the declines in market value of these securities were not attributable to credit quality. Furthermore, the FHLBank does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not more likely than not that the FHLBank will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases. As a result, the FHLBank did not consider any of these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2014.

The FHLBank also reviewed its available-for-sale securities that have experienced unrealized losses at June 30, 2014 and determined that the unrealized losses were temporary, based on the creditworthiness of the issuers and the related collateral characteristics, and that the FHLBank will recover its entire amortized cost basis. Additionally, because the FHLBank does not intend to sell these securities, nor is it more likely than not that the FHLBank will be required to sell the securities before recovery, it did not consider the investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2014.

The FHLBank did not consider any of its investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2013.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

Fair Value Disclosures

The fair value amounts recorded on the Statements of Condition and presented in the related note disclosures have been determined by the FHLBank using available market information and the FHLBank's best judgment of appropriate valuation methods. The fair values reflect the FHLBank's judgment of how a market participant would estimate the fair values.

Fair Value Hierarchy. The FHLBank records trading securities, available-for-sale securities, derivative assets, derivative liabilities and certain Consolidated Obligation Bonds at fair value on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The inputs are evaluated and an overall level for the measurement is determined. This overall level is an indication of how market observable the fair value measurement is. An entity must disclose the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements are classified.

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

Level 1 Inputs - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the reporting entity can access on the measurement date.

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

Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The FHLBank reviews the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in/out at fair value as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occur. The FHLBank did not have any transfers of assets or liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis during the six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.

Table 18.1 presents the carrying value, fair value, and fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities of the FHLBank. These values do not represent an estimate of the overall market value of the FHLBank as a going concern, which would take into account future business opportunities and the net profitability of assets versus liabilities.

Summary of Valuation Methodologies and Primary Inputs.

A description of the valuation methodologies and primary inputs is disclosed in Note 19 - Fair Value Disclosures in the FHLBank's 2013 Form 10-K. Below is the valuation methodology that has been enhanced during 2014.

Consolidated Obligation Bonds:

The FHLBank determines the fair values of certain Consolidated Obligation Bonds by calculating the present value of scheduled future cash flows from the bonds excluding accrued interest. Inputs used to determine fair value of these Consolidated Obligation Bonds are the discount rates, which are estimated current market yields, as indicated by the Office of Finance, for bonds with similar current terms. 

The FHLBank determines the fair values of other Consolidated Obligation Bonds based on pricing received from designated third-party pricing vendors. The pricing vendors used apply various proprietary models to price Consolidated Obligation Bonds. The inputs to those models are derived from various sources including, but not limited to, benchmark yields, reported trades, dealer estimates, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and other market-related data. Since many Consolidated Obligation Bonds do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing vendors use available information, as applicable, such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing to determine the prices for individual Consolidated Obligation Bonds. Each pricing vendor has an established challenge process in place for all valuations, which facilitates resolution of potentially erroneous prices identified by the FHLBank.

When pricing vendors are used, the FHLBank's valuation technique first requires the establishment of a “median” price for each Consolidated Obligation Bond. If four prices are received, the average of the middle two prices is the median price; if three prices are received, the middle price is the median price; if two prices are received, the average of the two prices is the median price; and if one price is received, it is the median price (and also the final price) subject to validation of outliers. All prices that are within a specified tolerance threshold of the median price are included in the “cluster” of prices that are averaged to compute a “default” price.

All prices that are outside the threshold (“outliers”) are subject to further analysis (including, but not limited to, comparison to prices provided by an additional third-party valuation service, prices for similar securities, non-binding dealer estimates, and/or use of an internal model that is deemed most appropriate) to determine if an outlier is a better estimate of fair value. If an outlier (or some other price identified in the analysis) is determined to be a better estimate of fair value, then the outlier (or the other price as appropriate) is used as the final price rather than the default price. Alternatively, if the analysis confirms that an outlier is in fact not representative of fair value and the default price is the best estimate, then the default price is used as the final price. In all cases, the final price is used to determine the fair value of the security.

If all prices received for a Consolidated Obligation Bond are outside the tolerance threshold level of the median price, then there is no default price, and the final price is determined by an evaluation of all outlier prices as described above.

Four vendor prices were received for the FHLBank's Consolidated Obligation Bonds and the final prices for those bonds were computed by averaging the prices received. Based on the FHLBank's review of the pricing methods and controls employed by the third-party pricing vendors and the relative lack of dispersion among the vendor prices, the FHLBank believes its final prices result in reasonable estimates of fair value and that the fair value measurements are classified appropriately in the fair value hierarchy.

The FHLBank has conducted reviews of its pricing vendors to confirm and further augment its understanding of the vendors' pricing processes, methodologies and control procedures for Consolidated Obligation Bonds.

Fair Value Measurements.

Fair Value Option. The fair value option provides an irrevocable option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets, financial liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments, and written loan commitments not previously carried at fair value. It requires a company to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which it has chosen to use fair value on the face of the Statements of Condition. Fair value is used for both the initial and subsequent measurement of the designated assets, liabilities and commitments, with the changes in fair value recognized in net income. If elected, interest income and interest expense on Advances and Consolidated Bonds carried at fair value are recognized based solely on the contractual amount of interest due or unpaid and any transaction fees or costs are immediately recognized into other non-interest income or other non-interest expense. Additionally, concessions paid on Consolidated Obligations designated under the fair value option are expensed as incurred in other non-interest expense.

The FHLBank has elected the fair value option for certain Consolidated Obligation Bond transactions. The FHLBank elected the fair value option for these transactions so as to mitigate the income statement volatility that can arise when only the corresponding derivatives are marked at fair value in transactions that do not, or may not, meet hedge effectiveness requirements or otherwise qualify for hedge accounting (i.e., economic hedging transactions).

For instruments recorded under the fair value option, the related contractual interest income and contractual interest expense are recorded as part of net interest income on the Statements of Income. The remaining changes in fair value for instruments in which the fair value option has been elected are recorded as “Net (losses) gains on Consolidated Obligation Bonds held under fair value option” in the Statements of Income. The FHLBank has determined that no adjustments to the fair values of its instruments recorded under the fair value option for instrument-specific credit risk were necessary as of June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

The following table reflects the difference between the aggregate unpaid principal balance outstanding and the aggregate fair value for Consolidated Bonds for which the fair value option has been elected.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]

Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations

Repurchase-to Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. On June 12, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amended guidance for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as repurchase financings. Specifically, this guidance requires entities to account for (1) repurchase-to-maturity transactions as secured borrowings rather than as sales with forward repurchase agreements; and (2) repurchase agreements executed contemporaneously with the initial transfer of the underlying financial asset with the same counterparty as separate transactions only. In addition, this guidance requires a transferor to disclose additional information about certain transactions, including those in which it retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic returns of the underlying transferred asset over the transaction’s term. This guidance becomes effective for the FHLBank for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. The changes in accounting for transactions outstanding on the effective date are required to be presented on a cumulative-effect approach. The FHLBank is in the process of evaluating this guidance, but its effect on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows is not expected to be material.

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

Joint and Several Liability Arrangements. On February 28, 2013, the FASB issued guidance for recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date. This guidance requires an entity to measure these obligations as the sum of (1) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and (2) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. This guidance became effective for the FHLBank beginning on January 1, 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not effect the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Framework for Adversely Classifying Loans, Other Real Estate Owned, and Other Assets and Listing Assets for Special Mention. On April 9, 2012, the Finance Agency issued an advisory bulletin that establishes a standard and uniform methodology for adverse classification and identification of special mention assets and off-balance sheet credit exposures at the FHLBanks, excluding investment securities. The adverse classification requirements were implemented as of January 1, 2014; this implementation did not have a material effect on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The charge-off requirements should be implemented no later than January 1, 2015. The FHLBank is currently assessing the charge-off provisions of this advisory bulletin and has not yet determined the effect, if any, that this guidance will have on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Legal Proceedings. From time to time, the FHLBank is subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In March 2010, the FHLBank was advised by representatives of the Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. bankruptcy estate that they believed that the FHLBank had been unjustly enriched in connection with the close out of its interest rate swap transactions with Lehman at the time of the Lehman bankruptcy in 2008 and that the bankruptcy estate was entitled to the $43 million difference between the settlement amount the FHLBank paid Lehman in connection with the close-out transactions and the market value payment the FHLBank received when replacing the swaps with other counterparties. In May 2010, the FHLBank received a Derivatives Alternative Dispute Resolution notice from the Lehman bankruptcy estate with a settlement demand of $65.8 million, plus interest accruing primarily at LIBOR plus 14.5 percent since the bankruptcy filing, based on their view of how the settlement amount should have been calculated. In accordance with the Alternative Dispute Resolution Order of the Bankruptcy Court administering the Lehman estate, senior management of the FHLBank participated in a non-binding mediation in New York in August 2010, and counsel for the FHLBank continued discussions with the court-appointed mediator for several weeks thereafter. The mediation concluded in October 2010 without a settlement of the claims asserted by the Lehman bankruptcy estate. In April 2013 Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc., through Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and the Plan Administrator under the Modified Third Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and Its Affiliated Debtors, filed an adversary complaint in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York against the FHLBank seeking (a) a declaratory judgment on the interpretation of certain provisions and the calculation of amounts due under the agreement governing the 2008 swap transactions described above, and (b) additional amounts alleged as due as part of the termination of such transactions. The FHLBank believes that it correctly calculated, and fully satisfied its obligation to Lehman in September 2008, and the FHLBank intends to vigorously defend itself.

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