Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Overview
 
The Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (Bank) is one of twelve Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks). The FHLBanks operate as separate entities with their own managements, employees and boards of directors. The twelve FHLBanks, along with the Office of Finance (OF) (the FHLBanks’ fiscal agent) and the Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board) (the FHLBanks’ regulator) make up the Federal Home Loan Bank System (FHLBank System). The FHLBanks were organized under the authority of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (the Act). The FHLBanks are commonly referred to as government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs), which generally means they are a combination of private capital and public sponsorship. The public sponsorship attributes include: (1) being exempt from federal, state and local taxation, except real estate taxes; (2) being exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (1933 Act) (the FHLBanks are required by Finance Board regulation to register a class of their equity securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (1934 Act)); (3) having public interest directors appointed by its regulator; and (4) having a line of credit with the United States Treasury.
 
Business Segments.  The Bank reviews its operations by grouping its products and services within two business segments. The products and services provided through these segments reflect the manner in which financial information is evaluated by management of the Bank. These business segments are:
 
  •     Traditional Member Finance
 
  •     Mortgage Partnership Finance® (MPF®) Program
 
Financial Highlights

Forward-Looking Information
 
Statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including statements describing the objectives, projections, estimates, or predictions of the future of the Bank, may be “forward-looking statements.” These statements may use forward-looking terms, such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “may,” “should,” “will,” or their negatives or other variations on these terms. The Bank cautions that by their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk or uncertainty and that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements or could affect the extent to which a particular objective, projection, estimate, or prediction is realized. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the following: economic and market conditions; volatility of market prices, rates, and indices; political, legislative, regulatory, or judicial events; changes in the Bank’s capital structure; membership changes; changes in the demand by Bank members for Bank loans to members; an increase in loans to members prepayments; competitive forces, including the availability of other sources of funding for Bank members; changes in investor demand for consolidated obligations and/or the terms of interest rate exchange agreements and similar agreements; the ability of the Bank to introduce new products and services to meet market demand and to manage successfully the risks associated with new products and services; the ability of each of the other FHLBanks to repay the principal and interest on consolidated obligations for which it is the primary obligor and with respect to which the Bank has joint and several liability; and timing and volume of market activity. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Bank’s interim financial statements and notes and Risk Factors included in Part II, Item 1A of this report on Form 10-Q, and the Bank’s 2006 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, as amended.

Earnings Performance
 
The following is Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Bank’s earnings performance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim financial statements and notes included in this report as well as the audited financial statements and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2006, included in the Bank’s 2006 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, as amended.
 
Summary of Financial Results
 
The Bank’s net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $64.2 million, an increase of $9.5 million, or 17%, over the prior year third quarter. This increase was primarily due to increases of $6.2 million and $4.8 million in net interest income and other income (including net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities), respectively, as well as a benefit for credit losses of $0.7 million in the current period, compared to a provision for credit losses of $0.5 million in the prior year period. Higher average balances in the loans to members and investment portfolios, as well as higher yields on investments, drove an increase in interest income; this increase was partially offset by higher interest expense on discount notes, due to higher volume. The current quarter also reflected net gains on derivatives and hedging activities of $3.7 million, compared with a loss of $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2006. The Bank’s return on average capital increased to 6.60% in third quarter 2007, compared to 6.18% in third quarter 2006. This increase was due to the impact of higher net income, which more than offset the impact of increased average capital.
 
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $170.1 million compared to $158.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $11.8 million, or 7%. Increases of $10.5 million and $2.9 million in net interest income and other income, respectively, as well as a $2.6 million decrease in other expenses contributed to this improvement. Higher average balances and yields in the loans to members and investment portfolios drove the increase in interest income, offset by higher interest expense on discount notes, the result of higher rates paid and average balances. Higher net gains on derivatives and hedging activities drove the increase in other income. The Bank’s return on average capital was 6.46% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to 6.26% for the same prior year period. This increase was due to the impact of higher net income, which more than offset the impact of increased average capital.
 
Details of the Statement of Operations are discussed more fully below.
 
Dividend Rate.  Because members may purchase and redeem their Bank capital stock shares only at par value, management has regarded quarterly dividend payments as an important vehicle through which a direct investment return is provided. The Bank’s weighted average dividend rate was 6.00% for the third quarter of 2007 compared to 5.22% in the third quarter of 2006. Retained earnings were $283.8 million as of September 30, 2007, compared to $254.8 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of $29.0 million, or 11%.

(2) The average balance of investment securities available-for-sale represents fair values. The related yield, however, is calculated based on cost.
 
(3) Nonaccrual loans are included in average balances in determining the average rate.
 
As noted above, the Bank experienced significant growth in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in the quarterly comparison while overall yields and rates paid reflected only a minimal increase. The overall impact of these changes was an increase in net interest income, as the increase in interest income more than offset the rise in interest expense. Additional analysis regarding the shift in the mix of these components is included in the Rate/Volume Analysis section below.
 
The net interest margin decreased 3 basis points to 0.45% for the third quarter of 2007, while the net interest spread declined 2 basis points to 0.23% for the current period. This spread compression was due to an increase in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which exceeded the growth in yields on interest-earning assets in the quarter-over-quarter comparison. Absent changes in the average balance of capital stock, the impact of net noninterest-bearing funds is driven

(2) The average balance of investment securities available-for-sale represents fair values. Related yield, however, is calculated based on cost.
 
(3) Nonaccrual loans are included in average balances in determining the average rate.
 
As noted above, the Bank experienced increases in interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and overall yields and rates paid in the year-over-year comparison. Overall, net interest income increased $11 million, as the increase in interest income more than offset the increase in interest expense. Additional analysis regarding the shift in the mix of these categories is included in the Rate/Volume Analysis section below.
 
The net interest margin decreased one basis point to 0.46%; this was reflected in the impact on noninterest-bearing funds.

Average interest-earning assets for the third quarter of 2007 increased $10.6 billion, or 14.2%, from the third quarter of 2006. In third quarter 2007, the Bank experienced unprecedented growth in the loans to members portfolio, with averages increasing $11.4 billion, or 24.6%, which drove the overall increase in average interest-earning assets. This was due primarily to instability in the current credit market as well as an increased demand from members for additional sources of liquidity. To a lesser extent, slight increases in average interest-bearing deposits and investment securities were more than offset by a decrease in Federal funds sold and the continuing decline of the mortgage loan portfolio. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, average interest-earning assets also increased compared to the prior year period, although the overall increase of $4.4 billion, or 6.0%, was not as dramatic as the quarter-over-quarter increase. Loans to members increased $3.9 billion, or 8.3%, over the prior year, again due to the current credit environment. Average investment securities increased $963 million, or 8.3%, year-over-year, as the Bank continued to increase its holdings in mortgage-backed securities. The mortgage loans held for portfolio balance decreased $763 million from 2006 to 2007, due to the ongoing run-off of the existing portfolio, coupled with the lack of availability of mortgages to purchase. Average interest-bearing deposits increased slightly year-over-year, offset by a decrease in average Federal funds sold.
 
The decreases in average Federal funds sold in the quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons totaled $1.1 billion, or 22.5%, and $267 million, or 6.6%, respectively; the related impact to interest income for this category was a decrease of $16 million and $2 million, respectively. The decrease from third quarter 2006 to third quarter 2007 was almost entirely volume-driven; the decline in the nine months comparison reflected a decrease in volume, which was virtually offset by an increase in yields. The increases in average interest-bearing deposits in the quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons totaled $772 million, or 21.6%, and $573 million, or 16.5%, respectively; the related impact to interest income for this category was an increase of $10 million and $33 million, respectively, driven primarily by volume, though yields also increased in both comparisons. The combination of the balances in these two categories reflect the Bank’s continued strategy to maintain a strong liquidity position in short-term investments, in order to meet members’ loan demand, and, to a lesser extent, to support the implementation of the Federal Reserve Daylight Overdraft Policy (“Overdraft Policy”), which became effective in third quarter 2006.
 
Increases in the average investment securities portfolio were $392 million, or 3.2%, in the quarter-over-quarter comparison and $963 million, or 8.3%, in the year-over-year comparison. Correspondingly, the interest income on this portfolio increased $12 million and $63 million, respectively, driven both by volume and rates. The investment securities portfolio includes both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, the majority of which is held-to-maturity. The investments within that portfolio are primarily mortgage-backed securities (MBS), all but one of which are rated AAA. A portion of these securities are guaranteed as to principal and interest payments by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.

The average loans to members portfolio reflected significant unusual increases, both in the quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons, as noted above. The corresponding increase in interest income on this portfolio was $151 million and $284 million, respectively. The quarterly increase from 2006 to 2007 was entirely volume-driven; yields on this portfolio for the quarter actually declined 5 basis points, as short-term funding balances displayed the largest increase, driving the overall yield down. The year-to-date comparison reflected the impact of both volume and rate. Specific fluctuations within the portfolio are discussed more fully below.
 
The mortgage loans held for portfolio balances continued to decline in both the quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons, decreasing $854 million, or 11.7%, and $763 million, or 10.3%, respectively. Correspondingly, the interest income on this portfolio declined $10 million and $24 million, respectively. The volume of mortgages available to be purchased from members has declined due in part to the charter consolidation of National City Bank, as successor by merger to National City Bank of Pennsylvania, which was formerly the Bank’s largest provider of mortgages. This lack of purchase activity, coupled with the run-off of the existing portfolio, has resulted in a continued decline in the overall portfolio.
 
The consolidated obligations portfolio has seen a shift in both the quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons in terms of composition between discount notes and bonds. The third quarter 2007 discount notes balance increased $12.5 billion, or 92.7%, compared to third quarter 2006, while the current quarter bonds balance decreased $2.5 billion, or 4.4%, compared to the prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, discount notes increased $7.8 billion, or 64.6%, while bonds decreased $3.7 billion, or 6.5%, compared to year-to-date September 2006 averages. This shift in the portfolio is consistent with the shift experienced in the loans to members portfolio towards shorter-term borrowing by members.
 
Interest expense on discount notes increased $158 million and $329 million in the quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons. For the quarter, the increase was entirely volume-driven, corresponding to the increase in short-term funding demands of members. Rates paid on discount notes in this comparison actually declined 12 basis points, the impact of which is reflected in the rate/volume table above. In the nine months comparison, the increase was primarily volume-driven as well, although there was a modest impact due to rates, which increased 32 basis points year-over-year. Interest expense on bonds decreased $21 million and $3 million in the quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons. For the quarter, the decrease was primarily volume-driven, offset to some extent by an 8 basis point increase in rates paid. In the nine months comparison, the decrease in volume was offset by a 32 basis point increase in rates paid. The increase in the discount notes portfolio was primarily due to member demand for shorter term loans, as well as the Bank’s own funding requirements for increases in interest-bearing deposits and Federal funds sold.

As noted above, the Bank has experienced unprecedented growth in the loans to members in the third quarter of 2007. In both the quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons, the largest impacts on the increase in the average loans to members portfolio were in the RepoPlus and Mid-Term RepoPlus products. Current credit market conditions have resulted in uncertainty in the mortgage-backed securities and commercial paper markets, as well as a need for additional

sources of diversified liquidity. The Bank has seen an overall increase in borrowing activity from its members, in part to diversify their sources of liquidity, and in part as a reaction to the lack of depth in the mortgage-backed securities and commercial paper markets.
 
In the comparison of third quarter 2007 to third quarter 2006, the Bank experienced an increase in both the RepoPlus and Mid-Term RepoPlus products. Current quarter average balances reflect a shift in members’ borrowings, including significant overnight funding by several of the Bank’s larger customers. The quarterly and year-over-year comparisons reflected an increase in the Returnable product, due primarily to the activity of one member. In addition, the relatively lower level of longer-term fixed rates and the cost of purchasing prepayment options in this market environment are of greater value to the member than the selling of the optionality feature within the Convertible Select product. This also explains the shift from the Convertible Select product to the Returnable product in the September year-to-date 2007 comparison to 2006.
 
As of September 30, 2007, 46.8% of the par value of loans in the portfolio had an original maturity of one year or less. The par value of loans with either a next call date (for returnable loans) or original maturity (for the remainder of the portfolio) of one year or less comprised 52.1% of the portfolio at September 30, 2007. The par value of loans with either a next convert date (for convertible loans) or original maturity (for the remainder of the portfolio) of one year or less comprised 58.2% at September 30, 2007.
 
The ability to grow the loans to members portfolio may be impacted by, among other things, the following: (1) the Bank’s liquidity position and how management chooses to fund the Bank; (2) the slowing housing market; (3) current, as well as future, credit market conditions; (4) the shape of the yield curve; and (5) the Bank’s need to meet the liquidity demands of several large borrowers. These factors continue to impact the Bank’s ability to grow the loans to members portfolio in the current pricing environment. In addition, it is important to note that the Bank’s loans to members portfolio is fully secured. The Bank accepts various forms of collateral including, but not limited to, investment securities and residential mortgage loans. In light of recent market conditions and the increased negative impact of the subprime and Alt-A mortgage markets, the Bank recognizes that there is an increase in the potential credit risk of the portfolio; this is a result of the market illiquidity of this collateral during the third quarter of 2007. The Bank continues to monitor its collateral position and the related policies and procedures, to ensure adequate security interest.

The Bank uses derivatives to hedge the fair market value changes attributable to the change in the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) benchmark interest rate. The hedge strategy generally uses interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of loans to members and consolidated obligations which convert the interest rates on those instruments from a fixed rate to a variable rate based on 3-month LIBOR. The purpose of this strategy is to protect the interest rate spread. As a result of the interest rates being converted from fixed to variable, the impact of these relationships can increase or decrease net interest income.
 
The loans to members and consolidated obligation derivative impact variances from period to period are driven by the change in average 3-month LIBOR in a given period and the level and mix of the portfolio being hedged. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the impact of derivatives increased net interest income $13 million and improved the interest rate spread 5 basis points. For the same year-ago period, the impact of derivatives decreased net interest income $6 million and reduced the interest rate spread 5 basis points. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the impact of derivatives increased net interest income $53 million and improved the interest rate spread 8 basis points. For the same year-ago period, the impact of derivatives decreased net interest income $5 million and reduced the interest rate spread 3 basis points.

Third quarter 2007 results included other income of $5.0 million, compared to $218 thousand in the third quarter of 2006. This increase was primarily due to $3.8 million of net gains in derivatives and hedging activities in the current year, while 2006 included $1.5 million of losses. In addition, service fees increased $36 thousand, or 3.3%, in the third quarter 2007 comparison to prior year. All other income decreased $560 thousand from third quarter 2006 to third quarter 2007.
 
Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $11.4 million, compared with $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Results for 2007 included $7.0 million of net gains on derivatives and hedging activities, compared with $3.5 million in the prior year, an increase of $3.5 million. Service fees decreased $322 thousand in 2007 compared to the prior year primarily due to a decision by management to exit the official checks business in third quarter 2006. In addition, pricing for wire services was reduced at the beginning of 2007.

Fair Value Hedges.  The Bank uses fair value hedge accounting treatment for most of its fixed-rate loans to members and consolidated obligations using interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps convert these fixed-rate instruments to a variable-rate (i.e., LIBOR). For the third quarter of 2007, total ineffectiveness related to these fair value hedges resulted in a gain of $5.8 million compared to a gain of $5.1 million in the third quarter of 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, total ineffectiveness related to fair value hedges resulted in a gain of $6.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively. The overall notional amount increased from $67.5 billion at September 30, 2006 to $70.2 billion at September 30, 2007. Fair value hedge ineffectiveness represents the difference between the change in the fair value of the derivative compared to the change in the fair value of the underlying asset/liability hedged. Fair value hedge ineffectiveness is generated by movement in the benchmark interest rate being hedged and by other structural characteristics of the transaction involved. For example, the presence of an upfront fee associated with a structured debt hedge will introduce valuation differences between the hedge and hedged item that will fluctuate through time.
 
Economic Hedges.  For economic hedges, the Bank includes the net interest income and the changes in the fair value of the hedges in net gain (loss) on derivatives and hedging activities. Total amounts recorded for economic hedges were a loss of $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared to a loss of $7.3 million in the third quarter of 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, losses recorded for economic hedges were $0.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively. The overall notional amount of economic hedges decreased from $2.7 billion at September 30, 2006 to $1.2 billion at September 30, 2007.

Other expenses totaled $14.3 million for the third quarter of 2007, compared to $15.0 million in the third quarter of 2006, a decrease of $683 thousand, or 4.6%. Excluding the expenses of the Finance Board and OF described below, all other operating expenses decreased $930 thousand, or 6.6%. This decline was primarily due to declines in professional fees and contractual services expenses partially offset by increases in salaries and benefits expense.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, total operating expenses were $44.2 million, a $2.6 million, or 5.6%, decrease from $46.8 million for the same year-ago period. Excluding the Finance Board and OF expenses, all other expense decreased $3.2 million, or 7.3%. This decline was due to lower other operating expenses. Salaries and benefits expense in 2006 included a one-time $1.1 million expense related to a retirement lump sum payment for the former CEO, which was offset by increases due to higher incentive compensation and overall merit and promotion increases in 2007. Other operating expenses in 2006 included $460 thousand of grossed-up relocation expense for the newly-hired CEO, as well as higher professional fees and contractual services expense.

At September 30, 2007, full-time equivalent staff totaled 239 positions, a decrease of 7 positions from September 30, 2006.
 
Collectively, the twelve FHLBanks are responsible for the operating expenses of the Finance Board and the OF. These payments, allocated among the FHLBanks according to a cost-sharing formula, are reported as other expense on the Bank’s Statement of Operations and totaled $1.2 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, these expenses were $3.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The Bank has no control over the operating expenses of the Finance Board. The FHLBanks are able to exert a limited degree of control over the operating expenses of the OF due to the fact that two directors of the OF are also FHLBank presidents.

Assessment Calculations.  Although the FHLBanks are not subject to federal or state income taxes, the combined financial obligations of making payments to REFCORP (20%) and AHP contributions (10%) equate to a proportion of the Bank’s net income comparable to that paid in income tax by fully taxable entities. Inasmuch as both the REFCORP and AHP payments are each separately subtracted from earnings prior to the assessment of each, the combined effective rate is less than the simple sum of both (i.e., less than 30%). In passing the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, Congress established a fixed 20% annual REFCORP payment rate beginning in 2000 for each FHLBank. The fixed percentage replaced a fixed-dollar annual payment of $300 million which had previously been divided among the twelve FHLBanks through a complex allocation formula. The law also calls for an adjustment to be made to the total number of REFCORP payments due in future years so that, on a present value basis, the combined REFCORP payments of all twelve FHLBanks are equal in amount to what had been required under the previous calculation method. The FHLBanks’ aggregate payments through the third quarter of 2007 exceeded the scheduled payments, effectively accelerating payment of the REFCORP obligation and shortening its remaining term to a final estimated payment during the second quarter of 2014. This date assumes that the FHLBanks pay exactly $300 million annually until 2014. The cumulative amount to be paid to REFCORP by the FHLBank is not determinable at this time due to the interrelationships of the future earnings of all FHLBanks and interest rates.
 
Application of the REFCORP percentage rate as applied to earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 resulted in expenses for the Bank of $16.1 million and $13.7 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, it resulted in expenses for the Bank of $42.5 million and $39.6 million, respectively. The year-to-year changes in AHP and REFCORP assessments for the Bank reflect the changes in pre-assessment earnings.
 
Financial Condition
 
The following is Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Bank’s financial condition at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006. This should be read in conjunction with the Bank’s unaudited interim financial statements and notes in this report and the audited financial statements in the Bank’s 2006 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, as amended.
 
Asset Growth and Composition.  As a result of an increase in the loans to members and investment portfolios, the Bank’s total assets increased $17.8 billion, or 23.0%, to $95.2 billion at September 30, 2007, up from $77.4 billion at December 31, 2006. The loans to members increase was due to increases in short-term portfolio balances, including RepoPlus. The short-term portion of the loans to members portfolio is volatile and can have a significant impact on outstanding balances. This is clearly demonstrated by comparing the average balance of the loans to members portfolio for the quarter, which was $57.9 billion, to the balance as of September 30, 2007, which was $64.3 billion. The increase in the investment portfolio was reflected primarily in Federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits, as well as an increase in held-to-maturity securities.

Total housing finance-related assets, which include MPF Program loans, loans to members, mortgage-backed securities and other mission-related investments, increased $14.7 billion, or 21.6%, to $82.6 billion at September 30, 2007, up from $68.0 billion at December 31, 2006. Total housing finance-related assets remained consistent, at 86.8% of assets as of September 30, 2007, compared to 87.9% of assets as of December 31, 2006.
 
Loans to Members.  At September 30, 2007, total loans to members reflected balances of $64.3 billion to 224 borrowing members, compared to $49.3 billion at December 31, 2006 to 221 borrowing members. This represented a 30.4% increase in the portfolio balance. Loan activity continued to be primarily attributable to the Bank’s five largest borrowers, generally reflecting the asset concentration mix of the Bank’s membership base.
 
The following table provides a distribution of the number of members, categorized by individual member asset size, that had an outstanding average balance at any point during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006.

Loans to members in the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 reflected the residential real estate market and, to a lesser degree, small business and commercial real estate demand of members’ customers. Average loan demand of members increased during the third quarter of 2007 primarily in reaction to the current credit market conditions. Members have required additional liquidity during this time, as other sources of funding may have been disrupted. Much of this demand included short-term and overnight funding, which tends to be unpredictable.
 
A number of the Bank’s members have a high percentage of long-term mortgage assets on their balance sheets; these members generally fund these assets through longer-term borrowings with the Bank to mitigate interest rate risk. Meeting the needs of such members will continue to be an important part of the Bank’s loans to members business. At September 30, 2007, the Bank’s loans to members portfolio was still weighted heavily in the combined mid-term and long-term products offered to members. However, there has been a shift in the Bank’s portfolio. The mid-term and long-term products have declined from 65.5% of the portfolio at December 31, 2006 to 58.0% at September 30, 2007; in contrast, the short-term RepoPlus product has increased from 11.5% of the portfolio at December 31, 2006 to 22.4% at September 30, 2007.
 
The primary driver of the percentage decrease in mid-term and long-term products is the increase in the RepoPlus product as discussed above. Although the RepoPlus outstandings are short-term in nature, the Bank has experienced rollovers of this short-term borrowing by some of its large customers during the third quarter of 2007. As market conditions change rapidly, the short-term nature of this lending could materially impact the Bank’s outstanding loan balance.
 
Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio.  The net mortgage loans held for portfolio balance decreased 8.8% to $6.4 billion at September 30, 2007, compared to $7.0 billion at December 31, 2006. The decline was a result of the continued run-off of the portfolio in addition to a decline in the availability of mortgages to be purchased.

Notes:
 
(1) All of the real estate mortgages held in portfolio by the Bank are fixed-rate. Balances are reflected net of allowance for credit losses.
(2) All nonaccrual mortgage loans are reported net of interest applied to principal.
(3) Government-insured or -guaranteed loans (e.g., FHA, VA, HUD or RHS) continue to accrue interest after becoming 90 days or more delinquent.
(4) Due to the nature of the program, all BOB loans are considered nonaccrual loans. Balances are reflected net of allowance for credit losses.
 
Allowance for Credit Losses.  At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the allowance for credit losses on the mortgage loans held for portfolio was $771 thousand and $853 thousand, respectively. At both September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the allowance for credit losses on the BOB loans was $6.7 million. The decline in the mortgage loans held for portfolio allowance reflected the continued decline in the total loan balance, which in turn required lower reserves.
 
Details regarding the Bank’s specific methodologies for calculation of allowance for credit losses is included in the Financial Condition section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Bank’s 2006 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, as amended.
 
Interest-bearing Deposits and Federal Funds Sold.  At September 30, 2007, the balances in the short-term investment categories of interest-bearing deposits and Federal funds sold totaled $9.9 billion, an increase of $2.9 billion, or 41.5% from the December 31, 2006 balance. This growth reflects the Bank’s strategy to continue to manage its short-term liquidity position.
 
Investment Securities.  At September 30, 2007, the Bank’s investment securities portfolio totaled $13.6 billion, compared to $13.0 billion at December 31, 2006. This balance includes both held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities. The 4.9% increase was due to an increase in held-to-maturity securities. These investments include mortgage-backed securities (MBS) that are collateralized and provide a return that can significantly exceed the return on other types of investments. The amount that the Bank can invest in MBS is limited by regulation to 300% of regulatory capital; due to continued increases in the capital stock position during third quarter 2007, driven by higher loans to members activity, the Bank was able to increase its MBS holdings. The opportunity to purchase MBS is primarily driven by fluctuations in the loans to members portfolio; at a given point in time, an increase in the loan balance translates to an increase in related capital stock, which provides for additional room under the regulatory limit to invest in additional securities. In addition, the Bank invested in $495 million of asset-backed commercial paper during the third quarter of 2007.

In addition, the Bank has outstanding obligations of $1.1 billion in standby letters of credit. The Bank does not have any special purpose entities or any other type of off-balance sheet conduits.
 
Retained Earnings.  At September 30, 2007, the Bank’s retained earnings stood at $283.8 million, representing an increase of $29.0 million, or 11.4%, from December 31, 2006. The Bank exceeded its longer-term retained earnings target of $200 million by first quarter 2006. Prior to reaching the retained earnings target, the Bank paid out less than 100% of net income in dividends. Any future dividend payments are subject to the approval of the Board of Directors (Board). In September 2007, the Board approved a revised retained earnings policy. This revised policy recommends a level of retained earnings which will be calculated including components for market, credit, operating and accounting risk. The Bank was in compliance with this policy as of September 30, 2007.

Operating Segment Results
 
The following is Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Bank’s operating segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, which should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim financial statements and notes included in this report.
 
The Bank operates two segments differentiated by products. The first segment entitled Traditional Member Finance encompasses a majority of the Bank’s activities, including but not limited to, providing loans to members; investments; and deposit products. The MPF, or Mortgage Finance, segment purchases residential mortgage loans from members and funds and hedges the resulting portfolio.
 
Results of segments are presented based on management accounting practices and the Bank’s management structure. There is no comprehensive, authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Therefore, the financial results of the segments are not necessarily comparable with similar information at other FHLBanks or any other company.
 
The management accounting process uses various balance sheet and income statement assignments and transfers to measure performance of the segment. Methodologies are refined from time to time as management accounting practices change. Borrowings are allocated to the Mortgage Finance segment based on mortgage loans outstanding. All remaining borrowings and all capital remain in the Traditional Member Finance business. The allowance for credit losses pertaining to mortgage loans held for portfolio is allocated to the Mortgage Finance segment and the allowance for credit losses pertaining to BOB loans is allocated to Traditional Member Finance. Derivatives are allocated to segments consistent with hedging strategies. Cost incurred by support areas not directly aligned with the segment are allocated based on estimated usage of services.
 
The following tables set forth the Bank’s financial performance by operating segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Traditional Member Finance Segment.  Net income in the Traditional Member Finance segment was $61.6 million for third quarter 2007, compared to $54.2 million in third quarter 2006. This $7.4 million increase was primarily due to higher net interest income, higher other income and the impact of a provision benefit in the current period. The $7.3 million increase in net interest income was driven by an increase in the loans to members portfolio, as the demand for liquidity increased, and an increase in the investment portfolio. The increase in other income reflected fluctuations in the fair value hedge ineffectiveness on both the loans to members and consolidated obligations portfolios. The benefit for credit losses reflected a decline in the reserves required for the BOB portfolio due to a decline in the probability of default assumptions.
 
Details regarding the Bank’s specific methodologies for calculation of allowance for credit losses is included in the Financial Condition section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Bank’s 2006 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, as amended.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net income increased $10.9 million to $158.5 million. The primary driver was a $15.2 million increase in net interest income, partially offset by a $2.0 million reduction in other income. In addition, other expenses decreased $1.4 million in the year-over-year comparison. The increase in net interest income was due to higher levels of loans to members and investment securities, as well as an overall increase in yields on those portfolios. The decline in other income reflected fluctuations in the fair value hedge ineffectiveness on both the loans to members and consolidated obligations portfolios. The year-over-year decrease in other expenses reflected the Bank’s ongoing efforts to manage operating expense growth.
 
Mortgage Finance Segment.  Net income in the Mortgage Finance segment was $2.6 million for third quarter 2007, compared to $511 thousand in third quarter 2006. This $2.1 million increase was primarily due to lower other losses and lower expenses in the current period, partially offset by lower net interest income. The $3.6 million decrease in other losses was due to fluctuations in the fair value of the economic interest rate swaptions used to minimize the prepayment risk embedded in the mortgage loans. The decrease in net interest income was due to lower interest-earning asset levels and a lower net interest spread.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net income was $11.6 million, compared to $10.7 million in the prior year period. This $955 thousand increase was due to other income in the current period, compared to other losses in the prior year, as well as lower other expenses. These benefits were offset by lower net interest income. The increase in other income was due to fluctuations in the fair value of the economic interest rate swaptions used to minimize the prepayment risk embedded in the mortgage loans. The offsetting decrease in net interest income was due to lower interest-earning asset levels as well as a reduced net interest spread.
 
Total assets declined in this segment in both the quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons, reflecting the continued run-off of the existing portfolio as well as a decrease in the volume of available mortgages to be purchased. The

lower levels of asset acquisition in this segment have permitted redeployment of resources thus reducing allocated other expenses in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same year-ago periods.
 
Capital Resources
 
The following is Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Bank’s capital resources at September 30, 2007. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim financial statements and notes included in this report and the audited financial statements in the Bank’s 2006 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, as amended.
 
Risk-Based Capital (RBC)
 
The Bank became subject to the Finance Board’s Risk-Based Capital (RBC) regulations upon implementation of its capital plan on December 16, 2002. This regulatory framework requires the Bank to maintain sufficient permanent capital, defined as retained earnings plus capital stock, to meet its combined credit risk, market risk and operational risk. Each of these components is computed in accordance with Finance Board regulations.

The Bank held excess permanent capital over RBC requirements of $3.5 billion and $3.1 billion at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
 
Capital and Leverage Ratios
 
In addition to the requirements for RBC, the Bank must maintain total regulatory capital and leverage ratios of at least 4.0% and 5.0% of total assets, respectively. Management has an ongoing program to measure and monitor compliance with the ratio requirements. As a matter of policy, the Board of Directors has established an operating range for capitalization that calls for the capital ratio to be maintained between 4.08% and 5.0%. To enhance overall returns, it has been the Bank’s practice to utilize as much leverage as permitted within the upper end of this operating range when market conditions permit, while maintaining compliance with statutory, regulatory and Bank policy limits.

The Bank’s capital ratio decreased slightly to 4.3% at September 30, 2007, down from 4.7% at December 31, 2006. Under the Bank’s capital plan, overall capital stock levels are tied to both the level of member borrowings and unused borrowing capacity which is defined generally as the remaining collateral value against which a member may borrow. The Bank’s capital ratios often fluctuate in response to changes in member borrowing activity and unused capacity.
 
The Bank has initiated the process to amend its capital plan. This amendment proposes to separate the capital stock supporting member borrowings and the unused borrowing capacity into two subclasses of Class B stock and widens the range of the capital stock requirement. As required by Finance Board regulations and the terms of the capital plan, no amendment of the capital plan may become effective until approved by the Finance Board.
 
Management reviews, on a routine basis, projections of capital leverage that incorporate anticipated changes in assets, liabilities, and capital stock levels as a tool to manage overall balance sheet leverage within the Board’s operating range. In connection with this review, when management believes that adjustments to the current member stock purchase requirements within the ranges established in the capital plan are warranted, a recommendation is presented for Board consideration. The member stock purchase requirements have been adjusted several times since the implementation of the capital plan in December 2002, and management expects that future adjustments are likely in response to future changes in borrowing activity.
 
As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, excess capital stock available for repurchase at a member’s request and at the Bank’s discretion totaled $45.5 million and $33.4 million, respectively. It is the Bank’s current practice to promptly repurchase the excess capital stock of its members upon their request, except with respect to directors’ institutions during standard blackout periods. The Bank does not permit other repurchase requests where the capital stock is required to meet a member’s minimum capital stock purchase requirement. Assuming the above amounts of excess stock had been repurchased as of the respective period ends, the resulting decrease in the capital and leverage ratios would have been immaterial.
 
The Bank’s capital ratio and leverage ratio both declined from December 31, 2006 to September 30, 2007. The increase in the Bank’s total assets exceeded the increase in capital, which caused the decrease in both ratio calculations.
 
Management believes that based on the Bank’s business profile, balance sheet composition and various potential economic scenarios, the current capital and leverage ratios are adequate to ensure the safe and sound operation of the Bank.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The Bank’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions or judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The use of estimates, assumptions and judgments is necessary when financial assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at, or adjusted to reflect, fair value. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value inherently result in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available. When such information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated in good faith by management, primarily through the use of internal cash flow and other financial modeling techniques.

The most significant accounting policies followed by the Bank are presented in Note 3 to the audited financial statements in the Bank’s 2006 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, as amended. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in this financial review, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Management views critical accounting policies to be those which are highly dependent on subjective or complex judgments, estimates or assumptions, and those for which changes in those estimates or assumptions could have a significant impact on the financial statements.
 
We discuss the following critical accounting policies in more detail under this same heading in the Bank’s 2006 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, as amended:
 
  •     Loans to Members and Related Allowance for Credit Losses
  •     Allowance for Credit Losses on Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio
  •     Allowance for Credit Losses on Banking on Business Loans
  •     Accounting for Premiums and Discounts on Mortgage Loans and Mortgage-Backed Securities
  •     Guarantees and Consolidated Obligations
  •     Accounting for Derivatives
  •     Future REFCORP Payments
  •     Fair Value Calculations and Methodologies
 
The Bank did not implement any material changes to its accounting policies or estimates, nor did the Bank implement any new accounting policies that had a material impact on the Bank’s results of operations or financial condition, during the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Risk Management
 
Risk Governance
 
The Bank’s lending, investment and funding activities and its use of derivative hedging instruments expose the Bank to a number of risks, including the following: market risk, credit risk, liquidity and funding risk and other risks, such as operating risk and business risk. These risks are discussed in further detail in this section. The Bank’s 2006 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, as amended, provides additional information regarding risk governance and the types of policies, processes, instruments and measures used by the Bank to manage risk. For information regarding the Bank’s use of, and accounting policies for, derivative hedging instruments, see Note 16 to the audited financial statements in the Bank’s 2006 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, as amended. Additionally, see the Capital Resources section above for further information regarding the Bank’s risk-based capital and regulatory capital ratios. Market risk exposure at September 30, 2007 reached an all-time high, driven by the disruption in the credit markets and the extension of the Bank’s mortgage portfolio. There were no material changes in the Bank’s credit and operations risk exposure at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006, except as set forth in Item 1A. Risk Factors.
 
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Market Risk
 
Market risk is defined as the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, and other relevant market information, such as basis changes. Risk of loss is defined as the risk that the net market value or estimated fair value of the Bank’s overall portfolio of assets, liabilities and derivatives will decline as a result of changes in interest rates or financial market volatility, or that net earnings will be significantly reduced by interest rate changes. Interest rate risk is the risk that relative and absolute changes in prevailing market interest rates may adversely affect an institution’s financial performance or condition. Interest rate risk arises from a variety of sources, including repricing risk, yield curve risk, basis risk and options risk.
 
The goal of an interest rate risk management strategy is not necessarily to eliminate interest rate risk, but to manage it by setting and operating within appropriate limits. The Bank’s general approach toward managing interest rate risk is to acquire and maintain a portfolio of assets, liabilities and hedges, which, taken together, limit the Bank’s expected exposure to interest rate risk. Management regularly monitors the Bank’s sensitivity to interest rate changes. Multiple methodologies are used to calculate the Bank’s potential exposure to these changes. These methodologies include measuring repricing gaps, duration and convexity under assumed changes in interest rates, the shape of the yield curve, and market volatility as implied in currently observable market prices. Interest rate risk exposure is managed by the use of


23


Table of Contents

appropriate funding instruments and by employing hedging strategies. Hedging may occur for a single transaction or group of transactions as well as for the overall portfolio. The Bank’s hedge positions are evaluated regularly and are adjusted as deemed necessary by management. The Bank’s market risk limits and measurement are described more fully below.
 
Quantitative Disclosures Regarding Market Risk
 
The Bank’s Market Risk Model.  The Bank uses an externally developed model to perform its interest rate risk and market valuation modeling. This model and significant underlying assumptions were subject to Finance Board review and approval prior to its implementation and are subsequently subject to annual independent model validation. Several methodologies are incorporated into the modeling process, which identifies the fair value of an instrument as the expected present value of its future cash flows. The present value is based upon the discrete forward portion of the yield curve that relates to the timing of each cash flow. For option instruments, as well as instruments with embedded options, the value is determined by building a large number of potential interest rate scenarios, projecting cash flows for each scenario and then computing the present value averaged over all scenarios. It is important to note that the valuation process is an estimation of fair value, and there may be several approaches to valuation, each of which may produce a different result. Beginning in January 2007, the Bank implemented a more robust market risk model which provides enhanced market risk metrics and measurement.
 
Duration measurements and market value of equity volatility are currently the primary tools used by the Bank to manage its interest rate risk exposure. Although the Bank is no longer required by Finance Board regulation to operate within specified duration limits, the Bank’s asset/liability management policies specify acceptable ranges for duration of equity, and the Bank’s exposures are measured and managed against these limits. These tools are described in more detail below.
 
Duration of Equity.  Duration is a key risk metric used by the Bank and is also commonly used throughout the financial services industry. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of a financial instrument’s market value, or the value of a portfolio of instruments, to a parallel shift in interest rates. Duration, typically measured in months or years, is commonly used by investors throughout the fixed income securities market as a measure of financial instrument price sensitivity. Longer duration instruments generally exhibit greater price sensitivity to changes in market interest rates than shorter duration instruments. Duration of equity, an extension of this conceptual framework, is a measure designed to capture the potential for the market value of the Bank’s equity base to change with movements in market interest rates. Higher duration numbers, whether positive or negative, indicate a greater potential exposure of market value of equity in response to changing interest rates.
 
The Bank’s asset/liability management policy approved by the Board of Directors calls for duration of equity to be maintained within a ± 4.5 year range in the base case. In addition, the duration of equity exposure limit in an instantaneous parallel interest rate shock of ± 200 basis points is ± 7 years. The following table presents the Bank’s duration of equity exposure in accordance with its current asset / liability management policies. Along with the base case duration calculation, the Bank performs instantaneous parallel interest rate shocks in increments of 50 basis points up to the 200 basis point scenarios identified below.

The duration of equity profile may be impacted by various actions the Bank takes to manage overall and specific risk exposures, as well as by changes in market interest rates. Throughout the third quarter of 2007, there was a marked increase in volatility in mortgage and related fixed income markets, resulting in widening of mortgage and related credit spreads relative to U.S. Treasury debt. In addition, refinements and adjustments to the Bank’s prepayment model


24


Table of Contents

contributed to the increases in duration of equity. In response to these market changes, the Bank took various funding and hedging actions, including the issuance of long-term debt, to maintain duration of equity within Board-approved limits. Although the Bank took these actions, duration of equity increased from December 31, 2006 to September 30, 2007 in the base case scenario and in the shock scenarios.
 
Market Value of Equity Volatility.  Market value of equity represents the difference between the current theoretical market value of all assets less the current theoretical market value of all liabilities. Market values of assets and liabilities vary as interest rates change. As such, theoretical market values can be calculated under various interest rate scenarios, and the resulting changes in net equity can provide an indicator of the exposure of the Bank’s market value of equity to market volatility. Although volatility and fluctuation in market values vary with changes in interest rates, the Bank seeks to manage this risk exposure by maintaining a relatively stable and non-volatile market value of equity. The Bank’s Board of Directors has established a policy limit that the market value of equity should decline by no more than five percent given a hypothetical ± 100 basis point instantaneous parallel change in interest rates. Management analyzes the market value of equity exposure against this policy limit on a regular basis. In addition to measuring compliance against this policy limit, the Bank also analyzes the potential effects of a wide range of instant parallel yield curve shifts of as much as 300 basis points.
 
The following table presents market value of equity volatility, including the percentage change from the base case.

For the period December 31, 2006 to September 30, 2007, the market value of equity increased in the base case as well as in both of the above shock scenarios. Increases in the base case were due to higher capital levels. The increases in the shock scenarios over the same period were driven primarily by the turbulence in the mortgage and related fixed income markets in the third quarter 2007. The hypothetical changes in the Bank’s market value of equity in the various scenarios shown above assume the absence of any management reaction to changes in market interest rates. Management monitors market conditions on an ongoing basis and takes appropriate action to preserve the value of equity and earnings by changing the composition of the balance sheet or entering into, terminating or restructuring hedges to mitigate the impact of adverse interest rate movements.
 
Credit Risk
 
Credit risk is the risk that the market value of an obligation will decline as a result of deterioration in the obligor’s creditworthiness. Credit risk arises when Bank funds are extended, committed, invested or otherwise exposed through actual or implied contractual agreements. The financial condition of Bank members and all investment, mortgage loan and derivative counterparties is monitored to ensure that the Bank’s financial exposure to each member and counterparty is in compliance with the Bank’s credit policies and Finance Board regulations.
 
Loans to Members.  The Bank protects against credit risk on loans to members by monitoring the financial condition of borrowers and by requiring borrowers or their affiliates to pledge sufficient eligible collateral, primarily residential mortgages, for all loans. In light of recent market conditions related to the subprime and Alt-A mortgage market, the Bank recognizes the additional risk that may be inherent in the mortgage markets in general at this time. The Bank maintains policies and practices to monitor such exposure and takes action where appropriate. In addition, the Bank has the ability to call for additional or substitute collateral during the life of a loan to protect its security interest. As of September 30, 2007, the Bank had rights to collateral which exceeded the portfolio balance by more than 300%. The Bank has not established any allowance for credit losses on loans to members.
 
Member Loan Concentrations.  At September 30, 2007, the Bank had a concentration of loans to its five largest borrowers totaling $46.2 billion, or 72.2%, of total loans outstanding. Average par balances to these borrowers for the nine

Table of Contents

months ended September 30, 2007 were $32.9 billion, or 65.8%, of total average loans outstanding. Because of these concentrations, the Bank has implemented specific credit and collateral review procedures for these members. Management believes that it has access to sufficient eligible collateral under written security agreements in which the member agrees to hold such collateral for the benefit of the Bank significantly in excess of outstanding loan balances. In addition, the Bank analyzes the implication for its financial management and profitability if it were to lose one or more of these members or if one or more of these members were to significantly reduce its borrowings from the Bank.
 
In addition to loans to members, the Bank is also subject to credit risk on investments, mortgage loans, BOB loans, derivatives and off-balance sheet arrangements and guarantees as described below. None of the Bank’s credit risk policy parameters have materially changed since December 31, 2006. Further information regarding nonaccrual loan balances and related allowances, including delinquency ratios and a rollforward of the Bank’s allowance for credit losses, is provided in the Bank’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.
 
Investments.  The Bank is subject to credit risk on investments consisting primarily of money market investments and investment securities. The Bank places money market investments, such as Federal funds, term deposits and corporate commercial paper on an unsecured basis with large, high-quality financial institutions with long-term credit ratings of AAA and AA for terms up to nine months, with credit ratings of A for terms up to 90 days and with credit ratings of BBB for terms up to 30 days. Most money market investments mature within 90 days. Management actively monitors the credit quality of these investment counterparties.
 
Mortgage-Backed Security Collateral.  The Bank also invests in and is subject to credit risk related to MBS that are directly supported by underlying mortgage loans. Investments in private label MBS are permitted as long as they are rated AAA at the time of purchase. The Bank regularly monitors the mortgage collateral underlying each MBS. The collateral can be grouped into various categories, including subprime and reperforming, which are generally considered to represent lower credit quality loans. The Bank generally follows the definitions of these categories established by the credit rating agencies. Under these definitions, the Bank has infrequently purchased subprime or reperforming MBS and the Bank’s existing subprime and reperforming securities represent less than one percent of the total MBS portfolio. These securities also contain additional credit protection from subordination or Federal agency insurance or guarantees. Accordingly, the Bank does not believe it has material credit risk resulting from these securities at this time. The Bank recognizes that there have been dislocations in the mortgage market recently and that securities ratings can change rapidly. However, the Bank has not experienced any downgrades or noted any significant deterioration through its credit monitoring of the portfolio. All MBS investments are currently rated AAA, with the exception of the investment related to the MPF Shared Funding Program, which has an AA rating; this AA investment represents less than 0.5% of the total amortized cost of the MBS portfolio.
 
Mortgage Loans.  The Bank has established as a service to members a mortgage loan purchase program under which the Bank acquires mortgage loans from members under a shared credit risk structure, including the necessary external credit enhancement, which gives the pools of mortgage loans purchased the equivalent of a AA credit rating. The mortgage loan program uses insurance companies to provide both primary and supplemental mortgage insurance. All insurance providers must have a credit rating of AA or better.
 
BOB Loans.  Members may also participate in the BOB loan program, which is targeted to small businesses in the Bank’s district. The program’s objective is to assist in the growth and development of small businesses, including both the start-up and expansion of these businesses. The BOB program is accounted for as an unsecured loan program and the outstanding loan balance is classified as nonaccrual due to doubt regarding the ultimate collection of the contractual principal and interest of the loan. Substantially all of the Bank’s credit losses occur in the BOB program.
 
Derivatives.  Finally, the Bank is subject to credit risk arising from the potential nonperformance by derivative counterparties with respect to the agreements entered into with the Bank, as well as certain operational risks related to the management of the derivative portfolio. Unsecured credit exposure to any counterparty is limited by the credit quality and capital level of the counterparty and by the capital level of the Bank. Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through the combined use of credit analysis, collateral management and other risk mitigation techniques. The Bank requires collateral agreements on derivative financial instrument contracts. The extent to which the Bank is exposed to counterparty risk on derivatives is partially mitigated through the use of netting procedures contained in the Bank’s master agreement contracts with counterparties. All derivative counterparties and/or guarantors are rated at least A.
 
Liquidity and Funding Risk
 
The Bank manages its liquidity position to satisfy member demand for short- and long-term funds, repay maturing consolidated obligations and meet other obligations. The Bank also maintains liquidity to repurchase excess capital stock at its discretion and upon the request of a member. Further, Finance Board regulations and the Bank’s liquidity policies established by management and the Board of Directors require the Bank to hold contingency liquidity sufficient to meet


26


Table of Contents

the Bank’s needs for a minimum of five business days without access to the consolidated obligation debt markets. The Bank’s sources of contingency liquidity include maturing overnight and short-term investments, maturing loans to members, securities available for repurchase agreements, available-for-sale securities maturing in one year or less and MBS repayments. Uses of contingency liquidity include net settlements of consolidated obligations, member loan commitments, mortgage loan purchase commitments, deposit outflows and maturing other borrowed funds. In response to the Overdraft Policy, the Bank implemented various changes to its cash and liquidity management practices, which include maintaining relatively high levels of short-term money market investments. As of September 30, 2007, the Bank was in compliance with all Board of Directors and regulatory liquidity requirements.
 
As previously noted, the Bank experienced a significant increase in loans to members during third quarter 2007. Despite turbulence in the capital markets during this period, the Bank continued to issue funding at an attractive cost while reinforcing its role as a liquidity provider to members. Increased funding through short-term discount notes has been utilized to satisfy commensurate increases in member demand for short-term credit. To the extent that market developments may suggest greater demand for intermediate-term credit from members, the Bank will respond by altering its funding mix between discount notes and longer-term bonds.
 
Overall, the FHLBank System injected $163 billion of liquidity into the market during the third quarter of 2007. This was in addition to $70 billion of additional liquidity provided by the Federal Reserve, as well as a 50 basis point reduction in the overnight Federal funds rate. These actions provided much-needed liquidity during the third quarter and helped to ease the crisis in the markets.
 
See Item 1A. Risk Factors regarding updated information concerning the Finance Board Cease and Desist Order issued to the FHLBank of Chicago.
 
Credit Ratings.  Access to the capital markets is partially dependent on the Bank’s and the FHLB System’s credit ratings which are shown in the following table:
 
         
    Moody’s   Standard & Poor’s
     
    Rating/Outlook   Rating/Outlook
 
 
Bank Senior Unsecured Long-term Debt
  Aaa/Stable   AAA/Stable
Bank Short-term Deposits
  P-1   A-1+
 
 
FHLB System Consolidated Obligation Bonds
  Aaa   AAA
FHLB System Consolidated Obligation Discount Notes
  P-1   A-1+
 
Operating and Business Risks
 
The Bank is subject to other risks such as operating risk and business risk. Operating risks are defined as the risk of unexpected loss resulting from human error, systems malfunctions, man-made or natural disasters, fraud, or circumvention or failure of internal controls. The Bank has established financial and operating policies and procedures and insurance coverage is in force, to mitigate the potential for material losses from such occurrences. In addition, the Bank has a business continuity plan that is designed to maintain critical business processes and systems in the event of a disaster or business disruption.
 
Business risk is defined as the risk of an adverse impact on the Bank’s profitability or financial or business strategies resulting from external factors that may occur in the short term and/or long term. The Bank continually monitors economic indicators and the external environment in which the Bank operates and attempts to mitigate this risk through long-term strategic planning.

Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
 
Note 1 – Background Information and Basis of Presentation
 
The Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (Bank), a federally chartered corporation, is one of twelve 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 Bank provides a readily available, low-cost source of funds to its member institutions. The Bank is a cooperative, which means that current members own nearly all of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank and may receive dividends on their investment. Regulated financial depositories and insurance companies engaged in residential housing finance that maintain their principal place of business in Delaware, Pennsylvania or West Virginia may apply for membership. State and local housing authorities that meet certain statutes or criteria may also borrow from the Bank. While eligible to borrow, state and local housing authorities are not members of the Bank and, as such, are not eligible to hold capital stock.
 
All members must purchase stock in the Bank. The amount of capital stock members own is based on their outstanding loans, their unused borrowing capacity and the principal balance of residential mortgage loans previously sold to the Bank. See Note 9 for additional information. As a result of these requirements, the Bank conducts business with members in the normal course of business. The Bank considers those members with capital stock outstanding in excess of ten percent of total capital stock outstanding to be related parties. See Note 11 for additional information.
 
The Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board), an independent agency in the executive branch of the United States government, supervises and regulates the FHLBanks and the Office of Finance (OF). The OF is a joint office of the FHLBanks established by the Finance Board to facilitate the issuance and servicing of the consolidated obligations of the FHLBanks and to prepare the FHLBank System combined financial reports. The Finance Board’s principal purpose is to ensure that the FHLBanks operate in a safe and sound manner, carry out their housing finance mission, remain adequately capitalized, and can raise funds in the capital markets. Also, the Finance Board establishes policies and regulations covering the operations of the FHLBanks. Each FHLBank operates as a separate entity with its own management, employees, and board of directors. The Bank does not have any special-purpose entities or any other types of off-balance sheet conduits.
 
As provided by the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932 (the Act), as amended, or Finance Board regulation, the Bank’s debt instruments, referred to as consolidated obligations, are the joint and several obligations of all the FHLBanks and are the primary source of funds for the FHLBanks. Deposits, other borrowings, and capital stock issued to members provide other funds. The Bank primarily uses these funds to provide loans to members and to purchase mortgages from members through the MPF® Program. The Bank also provides member institutions with correspondent services, such as wire transfer, safekeeping and settlement.
 
The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Bank conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Preparation of the unaudited financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, from time to time certain amounts in the prior period may be reclassified to conform to the current presentation. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments have been included for a fair statement of this interim financial information. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in the Bank’s 2006 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, as amended.
 
Note 2 – Accounting Adjustments, Changes in Accounting Principle and Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157).  In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157 which addresses how to measure fair value. SFAS 157 provides a single definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires expanded disclosures about fair value. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for the Bank’s fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2008. When adopted, SFAS 157 will require additional financial statement disclosures for certain instruments. The Bank is currently evaluating what other impacts the adoption of this standard will have on its Statement of Operations and Statement of Condition.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159).  On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 which creates a fair value option allowing, but not requiring, an entity to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as they occur. It requires entities to separately display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. Additionally, SFAS 159 requires an entity to provide information that would allow users to understand the effect on earnings of changes in the fair value of those instruments selected for the fair value election. SFAS 159 is effective at the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007 (January 1, 2008 for the Bank). Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. Although the Bank has not yet determined the effect that the implementation of SFAS 159 will have on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, the Bank believes that, if the fair value option is elected in any significant manner, SFAS 159 could have a material impact on its Statement of Operations and Statement of Condition.
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS 155).  In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155 which resolves issues addressed in SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133 to simplify the accounting for embedded derivatives by permitting fair value remeasurement, on an instrument by instrument basis, for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS 155 also establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets in accordance with SFAS 133 to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation. SFAS 155 became effective on January 1, 2007 for all financial instruments acquired or issued after that date. The Bank’s adoption of SFAS 155 did not have a material impact on the Bank’s Statement of Operations or Statement of Condition.
 
SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. B40, Embedded Derivatives: Application of Paragraph 13(b) to Securitized Interests in Prepayable Financial Assets (DIG B40).  In December 2006, the FASB issued DIG B40, which clarifies when a securitized interest in prepayable financial assets is subject to the conditions in paragraph 13(b) of SFAS 133. The Bank’s adoption of DIG B40 did not have a material impact on its Statement of Operations or Statement of Condition.
 
SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. G26, Hedging Interest Cash Flows on Variable-Rate Assets and Liabilities That Are Not Based on a Benchmark Interest Rate (DIG G26).  In December 2006, the FASB issued DIG G26, which clarifies when the hedge of a designated risk related to variable – rate financial assets or liabilities qualifies as a cash flow hedge. DIG G26 became effective April 1, 2007 for the Bank. The Bank’s adoption of DIG G26 did not have a material impact on its Statement of Operations or Statement of Condition.
 
FASB Staff Position No. FIN 39-1, Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39 (FIN 39-1).  In April 2007, the FASB issued FIN 39-1 which permits the fair value of receivables or payables related to cash collateral to be offset against the net fair value amount recognized for derivative instruments under the same master netting arrangement (such offset is generally required if derivative fair values by counterparty are offset). FIN 39-1 becomes effective for the Bank’s fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2008. Retrospective application is required, with early adoption permitted. The Bank does not expect the adoption of FIN 39-1will have a material impact on its Statement of Operations or Statement of Condition.

Certain equity mutual funds within the available-for-sale portfolio are maintained to generate returns that seek to partially offset changes in liabilities related to the equity market risk of certain deferred compensation arrangements. These deferred compensation liabilities were $7.3 million and $6.2 million at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, and are included in other liabilities on the Statement of Condition.
 
Available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses had fair values of $41.6 million as of September 30, 2007. These securities, as of September 30, 2007 have been in a loss position for less than twelve months. There were no available-for-sale securities with unrealized loss positions as of December 31, 2006. The Bank reviewed its available-for-sale investment securities and determined that all unrealized losses reflected above are temporary as of September 30, 2007. The determination that the declines in fair value are temporary is based on several factors, including the fact that the Bank has the ability and the intent to hold such securities through to recovery of the unrealized losses. All private label mortgage-backed securities in the available-for-sale portfolio were rated AAA. The Bank reviewed the credit ratings of the entire portfolio and noted that there have been no downgrades. The unrealized loss position that has occurred in the portfolio is primarily due to cyclical interest rate patterns; therefore, the Bank has determined that all declines in fair value are temporary.
 
Redemption Terms.  The amortized cost of the Bank’s mortgage-backed securities classified as available-for-sale includes net discounts of $10 thousand and $15 thousand at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Contractual maturity will occur over a period exceeding ten years. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment fees.
 
Interest Rate Payment Terms.  The following table details interest rate payment terms for available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

The Bank participates in the MPF Shared Funding Program, which provides for mortgage loans originated through the MPF program to be sold to a third party-sponsored trust and “pooled” into securities. FHLBank Chicago purchased these securities and sold a portion to other FHLBanks. The Bank’s restricted securities relating to the MPF Shared Funding Program are classified as held-to-maturity and are included in private label mortgage-backed securities above. They are reported at amortized cost of $54.5 million and $60.4 million as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. These securities are not publicly traded and are not guaranteed by any of the FHLBanks. No held-to-maturity securities were pledged as collateral as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

The Bank reviewed its held-to-maturity investment securities and determined that all unrealized losses reflected above are temporary as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The determination that the declines in fair value are temporary is based on several factors, including the fact that the Bank has the ability and the intent to hold such securities through to recovery of the unrealized losses. The unrealized loss position that has occurred in the portfolio is primarily due to cyclical interest rate patterns; therefore, the Bank has determined that all declines in fair value are temporary. Specific to the MBS portfolio, all investments are rated AAA, except for the investment related to the MPF Shared Funding Program, which has an AA rating. A portion of these securities are guaranteed payment of principal and interest by Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. Additionally, the Bank reviewed the credit ratings of the entire portfolio and noted that there have been no downgrades.
 
Redemption Terms.  The amortized cost and estimated fair value of held-to-maturity securities by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities of some securities and mortgage-backed securities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment fees.

Index amortizing loans require repayment according to predetermined amortization schedules linked to the level of various indices. Usually, as market interest rates rise (fall), the maturity of an index amortizing loan to member extends (contracts).
 
The Bank offers certain loans to members that may be prepaid on specified dates without incurring prepayment fees (returnable loans). Other loans to members may only be prepaid by paying a fee (prepayment fee) to the Bank that makes the Bank financially indifferent to the prepayment of the loan. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Bank had returnable loans of $3.4 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively.

The Bank also offers convertible loans. With a convertible loan, the Bank purchases an option from the member that allows the Bank to convert the interest rate from fixed to floating by terminating the fixed loan, which the Bank normally would exercise when interest rates increase, and offering a floating-rate loan. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Bank had convertible loans outstanding of $9.1 billion and $8.9 billion, respectively. The following table summarizes loans to members either by next convert date for convertible loans to members or by year of maturity for the

At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Bank had rights to collateral with an estimated value greater than its outstanding loans to members.
 
Details regarding security terms of the loans to members portfolio can be found in Note 9 of the footnotes to the audited financial statements in the Bank’s 2006 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, as amended.
 
Credit Risk.  While the Bank has never experienced a loan loss on a loan to a member, the expansion of collateral for Community Financial Institutions (CFIs) and lending to nonmember housing associates provides the potential for additional credit risk for the Bank. It is important to note that the Bank’s loans to members portfolio is based on the pledged security of collateral, including residential mortgage loans. In light of recent market conditions related to subprime and Alt-A residential mortgage loans, the Bank recognizes the additional risk that may be inherent in the mortgage markets in general at this time. The management of the Bank has policies and procedures in place to appropriately manage this credit risk. The Bank actively monitors this risk and, when necessary, adjusts its policies, practices and procedures. Accordingly, the Bank has not provided any allowances for credit losses on loans to members.
 
The Bank’s potential credit risk from loans to members is concentrated in commercial banks and savings institutions. As of September 30, 2007, the Bank had loans to members of $46.2 billion outstanding to five members which represented 72.2% of total loans outstanding. As of December 31, 2006, the Bank had loans to members of $31.9 billion outstanding to three members which represented 64.6% of total loans outstanding. The Bank held sufficient collateral to secure loans to members and the Bank has never incurred, nor expects to incur, any losses on these loans. See Note 11 for further information on transactions with related parties.

For loans to members with contractual maturity beyond one year, at September 30, 2007, the Bank had $29.1 billion of fixed rate loans and $4.9 billion of variable rate loans.
 
Note 6 – Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio
 
The MPF® Program involves investment by the Bank in mortgage loans which are purchased from its participating members. The total loans represent held-for-portfolio loans under the MPF® Program whereby the Bank’s members originate, service, and credit enhance home mortgage loans that are then sold to the Bank. The Bank has historically sold participation interests in some of its MPF® Program loans to other FHLBanks and holds the rest in portfolio. See Note 11 for further information on transactions with related parties.

Note 7 – Deposits
 
The Bank offers demand and overnight deposits for both members and qualifying non-members. In addition, the Bank offers short-term deposit programs to members. These programs are reported as interest-bearing demand, overnight, and term deposits. Other interest-bearing deposits are comprised primarily of counterparty cash collateral for swaps. Noninterest-bearing demand and overnight deposits are comprised primarily of funds collected by members pending disbursement to the mortgage loan holders, as well as member funds deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank.

Consolidated obligation bonds outstanding at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, include callable bonds totaling $28.3 billion and $28.1 billion, respectively. The Bank primarily uses fixed-rate callable debt to finance loans to members (see Note 5) and mortgage-backed securities. Simultaneously with such a debt issue, the Bank may also enter an interest-rate swap (in which the Bank pays variable and receives fixed) with a call feature that mirrors the option embedded in the debt (a sold callable interest rate swap). The combined sold callable interest rate swap and callable debt allows the Bank to provide members attractively priced loans. The par value of the Bank’s non-callable consolidated obligation bonds at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, was $31.4 billion and $28.9 billion, respectively.

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock.  At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Bank had $3.9 million and $7.9 million in capital stock subject to mandatory redemption with payment subject to a five-year waiting period and the Bank meeting its minimum regulatory capital requirements. For the third quarter of 2007 and 2006, dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock in the amount of $83 thousand and $483 thousand, respectively, were recorded as interest expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock were $333 thousand and $824 thousand, respectively. There have been no reclassifications of mandatorily redeemable capital stock back into capital.
 
As of September 30, 2007, the mandatorily redeemable capital stock was held by two members (one of which is in receivership) who had notified the Bank of their intent to redeem their capital stock and withdraw from membership and one former member.

There were no material amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 that were reclassified into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges because it became probable that the original forecasted transactions would not occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within a two month period thereafter. As of September 30, 2007, the deferred net gains on derivative instruments accumulated in other comprehensive income expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months was $1.2 million. Normally, the maximum length of time over which the Bank hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions, excluding those forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments, is 45 days or less. The Bank did not have any hedges related to the exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions at September 30, 2007.

Credit Risk.  At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Bank’s maximum credit risk, was approximately $387.6 million and $499.0 million, respectively. These totals include $116.1 million and $153.5 million, respectively, of net accrued interest receivable. In determining maximum credit risk, the Bank considers accrued interest receivables and payables, and the legal right to offset derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty. The Bank held cash collateral of $286.4 million and $351.9 million as collateral as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. As of September 30, 2007, four counterparties comprised 19.6%, 16.6%, 15.7% and 15.6% of the Bank’s total credit risk when measured after consideration of related collateral. Additionally, collateral with respect to derivatives with member institutions includes collateral assigned to the Bank, as evidenced by a written security agreement and held by the member institution for the benefit of the Bank.
 
The Bank 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. See Note 14 for further discussion regarding assets pledged by the Bank to these counterparties.
 
Details regarding the Bank’s derivatives and hedging policies and practices can be found in Note 16 of the footnotes to the audited financial statements in the Bank’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.

(1) Reflects balances related to the Bank’s investment in Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA), of which one of the Bank’s appointed Public Interest Directors is the CEO. The Bank owned this investment in 2006; however, it was not considered a related party transaction until PHFA’s CEO joined the Board.
 
Total mortgage loan volume purchased from related party members during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $1.2 million and $104 thousand, respectively. Total mortgage loan volume purchased from related party members for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $2.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
 
Interest income associated with outstanding mortgage loans purchased from related party members approximated $1.7 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Interest income on outstanding mortgage loans purchased was $5.4 million and $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.
 
From time to time, the Bank may borrow from or lend to other FHLBanks on a short term uncollateralized basis. The following table includes gross amounts transacted under these arrangements.

On occasion, an FHLBank may transfer its primary debt obligations to another FHLBank, which becomes the primary obligor on the transferred debt upon completion of the transfer. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, there was no such transfer.
 
Prior to May 1, 2006, the Bank regularly sold participation interests in the mortgage loans purchased from members to the FHLBank of Chicago. Upon execution of the services agreement which became effective May 1, 2006, both parties agreed to discontinue the practice and a transaction services fee is now being paid to the FHLBank of Chicago in lieu of the participation. The Bank entered into a new services agreement effective September 1, 2007, under which the Bank continues to pay a transaction services fee to the FHLBank of Chicago. See the Bank’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 7, 2007 and Exhibit 10.17 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information. The par values of the mortgage loans participated to the FHLBank of Chicago were none and $13.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the par values of the mortgage loans participated to the FHLBank of Chicago were $25 thousand and $88.0 million,

respectively. The services fee paid to the FHLBank of Chicago was $41 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and $115 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The services fee paid to the FHLBank of Chicago was $29 thousand and $34 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

Note 12 – Estimated Fair Values
 
The following estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Bank using available market information and the Bank’s best judgment of appropriate valuation methods. These estimates are based on pertinent information available to the Bank as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Although the Bank uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique or valuation methodology. For example, because an active secondary market does not exist for a majority of the Bank’s financial instruments, in certain cases fair values are not subject to precise quantification or verification and may change as economic and market factors and evaluation of those factors change. Therefore, these estimated fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in current market transactions. The fair value summary tables do not represent an estimate of the overall market value of the Bank as a going concern, which would take into account future business opportunities.

Note 13 – Segments
 
The Bank operates two segments differentiated by products. The first segment, entitled Traditional Member Finance, houses a majority of the Bank’s activities, including, but not limited to, providing loans to members, investments and deposit products. The MPF, or Mortgage Finance, segment purchases residential mortgage loans from members and funds and hedges the resulting portfolio.
 
Results of segments are presented based on management accounting practices and the Bank’s management structure. There is no comprehensive, authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to GAAP. Therefore, the financial results of the segments are not necessarily comparable with similar information at other FHLBanks or any other company.
 
The management accounting process uses various balance sheet and income statement assignments and transfers to measure performance of the segment. Methodologies are refined from time to time as management accounting practices change. Net mortgage loans held for portfolio are the only significant assets related to the operations of the Mortgage Finance segment. Borrowings are allocated to the Mortgage Finance segment based on loans outstanding. All remaining borrowings and all capital remain in the Traditional Member Finance segment. The allowance for credit losses pertaining to the mortgage loans held for portfolio is allocated to the Mortgage Finance segment and the allowance for credit losses pertaining to BOB loans is allocated to the Traditional Member Finance segment. Derivatives are allocated to segments consistent with hedging strategies. Costs incurred by support areas not directly aligned with the segment are allocated based on estimated usage of services.

Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies
 
The twelve FHLBanks have joint and several liability for all the consolidated obligations issued on their behalf. Accordingly, although it has never occurred, should one or more of the FHLBanks be unable to repay its participation in the consolidated obligations, each of the other FHLBanks could be called upon to repay all or part of such obligations, as determined or approved by the Finance Board. Additionally, although it has never occurred, the Finance Board, in its discretion and notwithstanding any other provision, may at any time order any FHLBank to make principal or interest payments due on any consolidated obligation, even in the absence of default by the primary obligor.
 
The FHLBanks considered the guidance under FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34 (FIN 45), and determined it was not necessary to recognize the fair value of the FHLBanks’ joint and several liability for all of the consolidated obligations. The Bank considers the joint and several liability as a related party guarantee. The joint and several obligations are mandated by Finance Board regulations and are not the result of arms-length transactions among the FHLBanks. The FHLBanks have no control over the amount of the guaranty or the determination of how each FHLBank would perform under the joint and several obligation. Because the FHLBanks are subject to the authority of the Finance Board as it relates to the decisions involving the allocation of the joint and several liability for the FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations, it meets the recognition scope exceptions in FIN 45. Accordingly, the Bank has not recognized a liability for its joint and several obligation related to other FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
 
Commitments that legally bind and unconditionally obligate the Bank for additional loans to members, including BOB loans, totaled approximately $731.5 million and $66.5 million at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Commitments generally are for periods up to twelve months. Standby letters of credit are executed for members for a fee. A standby letter of credit is a short-term financing arrangement between the Bank and its member. If the Bank is required to make payment for a beneficiary’s draw, these amounts are converted into a collateralized loan to the member. Outstanding standby letters of credit were approximately $1,093.7 million and $969.6 million at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Based on management’s credit analyses, collateral requirements, and adherence to the requirements set forth in Bank policy and Finance Board regulations, the Bank has not recorded any additional liability on these commitments and standby letters of credit. Excluding BOB, commitments and standby letters of credit are fully collateralized at the time of issuance.
 
Commitments that unconditionally obligate the Bank to purchase mortgage loans totaled $9.4 million and $4.3 million at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Commitments are generally for periods not to exceed 365 days. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 149), such commitments entered into after June 30, 2003, are recorded as derivatives at their fair value.
 
The Bank generally executes derivatives with major banks and broker-dealers and generally enters into bilateral collateral agreements. In the past, the Bank has pledged, as collateral, cash and securities to counterparties that have market risk exposure from the Bank related to derivative agreements. However, the Bank had no cash or securities pledged as collateral at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
 
The Bank charged to operating expense net rental costs of approximately $0.6 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The charge of net rental costs to operating expenses were $1.9 million and $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Lease agreements for Bank premises generally provide for increases in the basic rentals resulting from increases in property taxes and maintenance expenses. Such increases are not expected to have a material effect on the Bank.
 
The Bank has committed to issue consolidated obligations totaling $480 million and $98 million as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
 
Note 15 – Other Developments
 
The Bank is subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of these matters will have a material effect on the Bank’s financial condition or results of operation.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Bank’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Bank conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of September 30, 2007. Based on this evaluation, the Bank’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that such information relating to the Bank that is required to be disclosed in reports filed with the SEC (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Bank’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
For the third quarter of 2007, there were no changes in the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – Other Information
 
Item 1: Legal Proceedings
 
The Bank may be subject to various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, management is not aware of any such proceedings that might result in the Bank’s ultimate liability in an amount that will have a material effect on the Bank’s financial condition or results of operations.
 
Item 1A: Risk Factors
 
For a complete discussion of Risk Factors, see Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Bank’s 2006 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, as amended. Other than as noted below, management believes that there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the 2006 Form 10-K, as amended. The following represents an update on the joint and several liability for the consolidated obligations of other FHLBanks risk factor.
 
The Bank is jointly and severally liable for the consolidated obligations of other FHLBanks.
 
On October 10, 2007, FHLBank Chicago entered into a consensual cease and desist order (Order) with the Finance Board. Under the terms of the Order, capital stock repurchases and redemptions, including redemptions upon membership withdrawal or termination, are prohibited unless FHLBank Chicago receives prior written approval of the Director of the Office of Supervision of the Finance Board (OS Director). The Order provides that the OS Director may approve proposed redemptions, provided that allowing the redemption would be consistent with maintaining the capital adequacy of FHLBank Chicago. Further information and the full text of the Order are available on the Finance Board’s website at www.fhfb.gov. As of September 30, 2007, FHLBank Chicago was the primary obligor on $81.2 billion in par value of consolidated obligations.
 
On September 26, 2007, in anticipation of the Order, Standard & Poor’s issued an opinion stating that their AA+/Negative rating on FHLBank Chicago would remain unaffected by the Order. Further, on October 1, 2007, Moody’s reaffirmed their AAA/Stable rating. Additionally, the Bank has not noted any discernable deterioration in consolidated obligation spreads attributable to the announcement of the Order. Management continues to perform appropriate due diligence as well as closely monitor any developments in the financial condition and regulatory status of FHLBank Chicago.
 
The Finance Board has extensive and broad authority in regard to the FHLBanks, which includes, without limitation, the authority to merge, consolidate, redistrict and/or adjust equities among the FHLBanks. The Finance Board, in its discretion, may also require any FHLBank to make principal or interest payments due on any consolidated obligation, whether or not the primary obligor FHLBank has defaulted on the payment of that obligation. Accordingly, the Bank could incur significant liability beyond its primary obligation under consolidated obligations which could negatively affect the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations. The Bank records a liability for consolidated obligations on its Statement of Condition equal to the proceeds it receives from the issuance of those consolidated obligations. Due to the high credit quality of every other FHLBank, no liability has ever been recorded for the joint and several obligations related to the other FHLBanks’ share of the consolidated obligations.
