FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF INDIANAPOLIS

Information as of and for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009, and 2008 is Unaudited

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation

The significant accounting policies and the financial condition and results of operations for the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (the “Bank”) as of December 31, 2008, are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on March 16, 2009 (“2008 Form 10-K”). The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2009, should be read in conjunction with the 2008 Form 10-K. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) for a fair statement of the results of operations and financial condition for the interim period ended March 31, 2009, and conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as they apply to interim financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period or entire year.

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make assumptions and estimates. These assumptions and estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

We have included descriptions of significant accounting policies in Note 1 to the Financial Statements included in our 2008 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these policies as of March 31, 2009, except for our adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-than Temporary Impairments as described in Note 2 and Note 4.

Note 2 — Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards and Interpretations

SFAS 161. On March 19, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. These enhanced disclosures will discuss (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”) and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 (January 1, 2009, for us), with earlier adoption allowed. Our adoption of SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009, has resulted in increased financial statement disclosures (see Note 7), but did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

EITF Issue No. 08-5. On September 24, 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) on EITF Issue No. 08-5, Issuer’s Accounting for Liabilities Measured at Fair Value with a Third-Party Credit Enhancement (“EITF 08-5”). The objective of EITF 08-5 is to determine the issuer’s unit of accounting for a liability that is issued with an inseparable third-party credit enhancement when it is recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. EITF 08-5 is applied prospectively and is effective in the first reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (January 1, 2009, for us). Our adoption of EITF 08-5 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

FSP FAS 157-2. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (“FSP FAS 157-2”), which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) until January 1, 2009, for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The requirements of SFAS 157 apply to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities addressed by FSP FAS 157-2 for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted FSP FAS 157-2 on January 1, 2009. Its adoption did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4. On September 12, 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4, Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161 (“FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4”). FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 amends SFAS 133 and 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”) to improve disclosures about credit derivatives and guarantees and clarify the effective date of SFAS 161. FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 also amends SFAS 133 to require entities to disclose sufficient information to allow users to assess the potential effect of credit derivatives, including their nature, maximum payment, fair value, and recourse provisions. Additionally, FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 amends FIN 45 to require a disclosure about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a guarantee, which could be indicated by external credit ratings or categories by which an entity measures risk. While we do not currently enter into credit derivatives, we do have guarantees – our joint and several liability on Consolidated Obligations and letters of credit. The provisions of FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 that amend SFAS 133 and FIN 45 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after November 15, 2008 (December 31, 2008, for us). Additionally, FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 clarifies that the disclosures required by SFAS 161 should be provided for any reporting period (annual or quarterly interim) beginning after November 15, 2008 (January 1, 2009, for us). Our adoption of FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 has resulted in increased financial statement disclosures (see Note 7), but did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

FSP FAS 115-2 and 124-2. On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”).

FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI,” which term may also refer to “other-than-temporarily impaired,” as the context indicates) guidance in GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of OTTI on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP clarifies the interaction of the factors that should be considered when determining whether a debt security is OTTI and changes in the presentation and calculation of the OTTI on debt securities recognized in earnings in the financial statements. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to OTTI of equity securities. This FSP expands and increases the frequency of existing disclosures about OTTI for debt and equity securities and requires new disclosures to help users of financial statements understand the significant inputs used in determining a credit loss, as well as a rollforward of that amount each period.

For debt securities that are impaired, FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 requires an entity to assess whether (a) it has the intent to sell the securities, or (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, an OTTI on the security must be recognized.

In instances in which a determination is made that a credit loss (defined by FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis) exists but the entity does not intend to sell the debt security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the debt security before the anticipated recovery of its remaining amortized cost basis (i.e., the amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss), FSP FAS 115-2 and 124-2 changes the presentation and amount of the OTTI recognized in the Statement of Income. In these instances, the impairment is separated into (a) the amount of the total impairment related to the credit loss, and (b) the amount of the total impairment related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is recognized in Other Income (Loss). The amount of the total impairment related to all other factors is recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). Subsequent non-OTTI-related increases and decreases in the fair value of available-for-sale securities will be included in OCI. The OTTI recognized in OCI for debt securities classified as held-to-maturity will be amortized over the remaining life of the debt security as an increase in the carrying value of the security (with no effect on earnings unless the security is subsequently sold or there is additional OTTI recognized). The total OTTI is presented in the Statement of Income with an offset for the amount of the total OTTI that is recognized in OCI. Previously, in all cases, if an impairment was determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment

loss was recognized in earnings in an amount equal to the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment was made. The new presentation provides additional information about the amounts that the entity does not expect to collect related to a debt security.

FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective and is to be applied prospectively for financial statements issued for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for reporting periods ending after March 15, 2009 (March 31, 2009, for us). Early adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 also requires early adoption of FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP FAS 157-4”). When adopting FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, an entity is required to record a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the period of adoption to reclassify the non-credit component of a previously recognized OTTI from Retained Earnings to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) if the entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis.

We adopted FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 as of January 1, 2009. The effect of the adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is included in Note 4.

FSP FAS 157-4. On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4. FSP FAS 157-4 is intended to provide additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective and is to be applied prospectively for financial statements issued for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for reporting periods ending after March 15, 2009 (March 31, 2009, for us). Early adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 also requires early adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2. We adopted FSP FAS 157-4 as of January 1, 2009. Its adoption did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1. On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends the disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“SFAS 107”), and APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107, including disclosure of the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments, in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. Previously, these disclosures were required only in annual financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective and applied prospectively for financial statements issued for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for reporting periods ending after March 15, 2009 (March 31, 2009, for us). Early adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 is only permitted if an election is also made to early adopt FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 and FSP FAS 157-4. In periods after initial adoption, FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending subsequent to initial adoption and does not require earlier periods to be disclosed for comparative purposes at initial adoption. Our adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 on January 1, 2009, resulted in increased interim financial statement disclosures (see Note 12), but did not affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We evaluate our individual HTM holdings that are impaired for OTTI on at least a quarterly basis. As part of this process, we consider our intent to sell each debt security and whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, which may be to maturity. If either of these conditions is met, we recognize an OTTI in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the Statement of Condition date. For securities that meet neither of these conditions, we perform an analysis to determine if any of these securities are at risk for OTTI. To determine which individual securities are at risk for OTTI and should be quantitatively evaluated utilizing a detailed cash flow analysis, we use indicators, or “screens” which consider various characteristics of each security including, but not limited to, the following: the credit rating and related outlook or status; the creditworthiness of the issuers of the agency debt securities; the strength of the GSEs’ guarantees of the holdings of agency MBS; the value and type of underlying collateral; the duration and level of the unrealized loss; and certain other collateral-related characteristics such as the ratio of seriously delinquent loans to credit enhancement. The relative importance of this information varies based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each security, as well as the economic environment at the time of assessment.

As a result of this security-level review, we identify individual securities which should be subjected to a detailed cash flow analysis to determine the cash flows that are likely to be collected. Beginning in the first quarter of 2009, to promote consistency in determination of the OTTI for investment securities among all Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLBs”), we used the prescribed key modeling assumptions for purposes of our cash flow analysis. At-risk securities are evaluated by estimating projected cash flows that we are likely to collect based on a careful assessment of all available information about each individual security, the structure of the security and certain assumptions, such as the remaining payment terms of the security, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity on the collateral supporting our security, based on underlying loan-level borrower and loan characteristics, expected housing price changes and interest rate assumptions, to determine whether we will recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. A significant input to such analysis is the forecast of housing price changes for the relevant states and metropolitan statistical areas, which is based on an assessment of the relevant housing market. In response to the ongoing deterioration in housing prices, credit market stress, and weakness in the U.S. economy in the first quarter of 2009, which continued to affect the credit quality of the collateral, we modified certain assumptions in our cash flow analysis. The loan-level cash flows and losses are allocated to various security classes, including the security classes owned by our Bank, based on the cash flow and loss allocation rules of the individual security. In performing a detailed cash flow analysis, we identify our best estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected. If this estimate results in a present value of expected cash flows that is less than the amortized cost basis of a security (that is, a credit loss exists), an OTTI is considered to have occurred. If there is no credit loss, any impairment is temporary.

As a result of our evaluation, at March 31, 2009, we recognized OTTI losses related to four private-label MBS instruments in our HTM portfolio. Although we do not intend to sell these securities, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before our anticipated recovery of each security’s remaining amortized cost basis, we determined that it was likely that we would not recover the entire amortized cost of each of these securities.

We recognized OTTI charges of $18,550,000 in the first quarter of 2009 related to credit loss on MBS in our HTM portfolio, which is reported in the Other Income (Loss) section of the Statement of Income as Net Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Losses Recognized on Held-to-Maturity Securities, and an impairment of $128,742,000 related to all other factors, which is reflected in the Statements of Condition as Net Non-Credit Portion of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Losses on Held-to-Maturity Securities. The OTTI recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) related to HTM is accreted to the carrying value of each security on a prospective basis, over the remaining life of each security. That accretion increases the carrying value of each security and continues until this security is sold or matures or there is an additional OTTI that is recognized in earnings.

The following table presents the rollforward of the amounts related to credit losses recognized into earnings ($ amounts in millions). The rollforward relates to the amount of credit losses on investment securities we held for which a portion of the OTTI charges was recognized into OCI.

The remainder of unrealized losses or decreases in fair value in our HTM portfolio is due to interest rate volatility, illiquidity in the marketplace, and credit deterioration in the U.S. mortgage markets. However, the decline is considered temporary as we expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis on the remaining HTM in unrealized loss positions and neither intend to sell these securities nor is it more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before our anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis.

We also offer putable Advances, which include an option(s) sold by the member that allows us to terminate the fixed-rate Advance prior to maturity. We normally would exercise this option when interest rates increase. Upon exercise of our option, the member must repay the putable Advance or convert it to an adjustable-rate instrument under the terms established at the time of the original issuance. Interest is generally due on a monthly basis. At March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, we had putable Advances outstanding totaling $5,546,500,000 and $5,597,000,000, respectively.

Federal Housing Finance Agency (“Finance Agency”) regulations require us to use supplemental mortgage insurance (“SMI”) providers that are rated at least AA-. The loans purchased are credit-enhanced to achieve an implied rating at an investment grade level based upon a NRSRO model approved by the Finance Agency. If there is evidence of a decline in the credit quality of a mortgage pool, the regulations require us to re-evaluate the covered mortgage pools for deterioration in credit quality and to allocate risk-based capital to cover any potential credit quality issues. During 2008, we used a model to evaluate the entire MPP portfolio due to the downgrades of one of our SMI providers subsequent to the purchase of the loans. This credit quality review was not limited to the downgrades of our SMI providers, but included factors such as home price changes. As of March 31, 2009, we are holding the required amount of risk-based capital allocated to MPP within required minimum standards.

Note 7 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Managing Credit Risk of Derivatives.

We are subject to credit risk due to the risk of non-performance by counterparties to the derivative agreements. The degree of counterparty risk depends in part on the extent to which master netting arrangements are included in such contracts to mitigate the risk. We manage counterparty credit risk through credit analysis, collateral requirements and adherence to the requirements set forth in our policies and regulations. Based on credit analyses and collateral requirements, our management does not anticipate any credit losses on derivative agreements.

The contractual or notional amount of derivatives reflects our involvement in the various classes of financial instruments. The notional amount of derivatives does not measure our credit risk exposure, and our maximum credit exposure is substantially less than the notional amount. On all derivatives, we require credit support agreements that establish collateral delivery thresholds. The maximum credit risk is the estimated cost of replacing interest rate swaps, forward agreements, mandatory delivery contracts for mortgage loans, or purchased caps and floors that have a net positive market value, assuming the counterparty defaults, and the related collateral, if any, is of no value. The maximum credit will change depending on current market conditions. This collateral has not been sold or repledged.

At March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, our maximum credit risk, as defined above, was approximately $3,565,000 and $735,000, respectively. At March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, these totals include $5,808,000 and $4,000, respectively, of net accrued interest receivable. In determining maximum credit risk, we consider accrued interest receivables and payables, and the legal right to offset assets and liabilities by counterparty. We held cash, including accrued interest, totaling $17,127,000 and $0 as collateral as of March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively.

We have credit support agreements that contain provisions requiring us to post additional collateral with our counterparties if there is deterioration in our credit rating. If our credit rating were lowered by a major credit rating agency, we would be required to deliver additional collateral on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments subject to credit support agreements containing credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position at March 31, 2009, was $1,085,866,000, for which we have posted collateral, including accrued interest, of $236,082,000 in the normal course of business. In addition, we held other derivative instruments in a net liability position of $655,000 that are not subject to credit support agreements containing credit-risk related contingent features. If our credit rating had been lowered from its current rating to the next lower rating, we would have been required to deliver up to an additional $896,028,000 of collateral to our derivatives counterparties at March 31, 2009. However, our credit ratings have not changed during the previous 12 months.

We transact most of our derivatives with large banks and major broker-dealers. Some of these banks and broker-dealers or their affiliates buy, sell, and distribute Consolidated Obligations. Note 13 discusses assets pledged by us to these counterparties. We are not a derivative dealer and, thus, do not trade derivatives for short-term profit.

Derivative Notional Amounts. The notional amount of derivatives serves as a factor in determining periodic interest payments.

The notional amount of derivatives represents neither the actual amounts exchanged nor the overall exposure to credit and market risk. The overall amount that could potentially be subject to credit loss is much smaller. Notional values are not meaningful measures of the risks associated with derivatives. The risks of derivatives can be measured meaningfully on a portfolio basis. This measurement must take into account the derivatives, the items being hedged and any offsets between the two.

The following tables summarize the fair value of derivative instruments without the effect of netting arrangements or collateral as of March 31, 2009, and 2008 ($ amounts in thousands). For purposes of this disclosure, the derivative values include the fair value of derivatives and related accrued interest.

Note 10 — Capital

We are subject to three capital requirements under our Capital Plan and Finance Agency regulations. First, we must maintain at all times “permanent capital,” defined as Retained Earnings and Class B Stock (including Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock), in an amount at least equal to our risk-based capital requirements, which is the sum of our credit risk capital requirement, our market risk capital requirement, and our operations risk capital requirement, calculated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Finance Agency. Second, only permanent capital satisfies the risk-based capital requirement. The Finance Agency may require us to maintain a greater amount of permanent capital than is required by the risk-based capital requirements as defined. Third, we are required to maintain at all times at least a 4% regulatory capital-to-asset ratio and at least a 5% leverage ratio, defined as the sum of permanent capital weighted 1.5 times, and non-permanent capital weighted 1.0 times, divided by Total Assets. We were in compliance with the aforementioned capital rules and requirements during the reporting periods. The following table shows our compliance with the Finance Agency’s capital requirements at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008 ($ amounts in thousands):

Note 11 — Segment Information

We have identified two primary operating segments based on our method of internal reporting:

 

   

Traditional Funding, Investments and Deposit Products (“Traditional”), which includes credit services (such as Advances, letters of credit, and lines of credit), investments (including AFS, MBS and ABS), and deposits; and

 

   

MPP, which consists of mortgage loans purchased from our members.

The products and services presented reflect the manner in which we evaluate financial information. Traditional includes the effects of premium and discount amortization on products other than MPP, the impact of net interest settlements related to interest rate exchange agreements, interest income on Advances, investments (including AFS and MBS), and the borrowing costs related to those assets. Traditional also includes the costs related to holding deposit products for members and other miscellaneous borrowings as well as all other miscellaneous income and expense not associated with the MPP. MPP income is derived primarily from the difference, or spread, between the interest income earned on mortgage loans, including the direct effects of premium and discount amortization in accordance with SFAS 91, Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases (“SFAS 91”), and the borrowing cost related to those loans.

We measure the performance of each segment based upon the net interest spread of the underlying portfolio(s). For this reason, we have presented each segment on a net interest income basis. Direct other income and expense items have been allocated to each segment based upon actual results. MPP includes the direct earnings effects of SFAS 133 as well as direct salary and other expenses (including an allocation for indirect overhead) associated with operating the MPP and volume-driven costs associated with master servicing and quality control fees. Direct other income/expense related to Traditional includes the direct earnings impact of SFAS 133 related to Advances and investment products as well as all other income and expense not associated with MPP. The assessments related to AHP and the Resolution Funding Corporation (“REFCORP”) have been allocated to each segment based upon each segment’s proportionate share of Income Before Assessments.

We have not symmetrically allocated assets to each segment based upon financial results as it is impracticable to measure the performance of our segments from a total assets perspective. As a result, there is asymmetrical information presented in the tables below including, among other items, the allocation of depreciation without an allocation of the depreciable assets, the SFAS 133 earnings adjustments with no corresponding allocation to derivative assets, if any, and the recording of interest income with no allocation to accrued interest receivable. Total Assets reported for MPP include only the mortgage loans outstanding, net of premiums, discounts and SFAS 133 basis adjustments. Total Assets reported for Traditional include all of our other assets.

Note 12 — Estimated Fair Values

As discussed in Note 2 in our 2008 Form 10-K, we adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances.

We record AFS, Rabbi Trust assets (mutual funds), derivative assets and liabilities, and OTTI HTM at fair value on our Statements of Condition. Fair value is a market-based measurement and is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability is a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date, considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. In general, the transaction price will equal the exit price and, therefore, represent the fair value of the asset or liability at initial recognition. In determining whether a transaction price represents the fair value of the asset or liability at initial recognition, each reporting entity is required to consider factors specific to the asset or liability, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, and market participants with whom the entity would transact in that market.

Fair Value Hierarchy

SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The inputs are evaluated and an overall level for the fair value measurement is determined. This overall level is an indication of how market observable the fair value measurement is and defines the level of disclosure. SFAS 157 clarifies fair value in terms of the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset or liability at the measurement date (an exit price). In order to determine the fair value or the exit price, entities must determine the unit of account, highest and best use, principal market, and market participants. These determinations allow the reporting entity to define the inputs for fair value and level of hierarchy.

Outlined below is the application of the fair value hierarchy established by SFAS 157 to our financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value.

Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which the transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. We carry Rabbi Trust assets (mutual funds) at Level 1 fair value. These assets were established to fund non-qualified benefit plans.

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. We carry AFS, Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities at Level 2 fair value.

Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs are supported by little or no market activity or by the entity’s own assumptions. We reported OTTI HTM at Level 3 fair value as of March 31, 2009.

We utilize valuation techniques that, to the extent possible, use observable inputs in our valuation models. Described below are our fair value measurement methodologies for assets and liabilities carried at fair value:

 

   

AFS – The estimated fair values are based on a composite of executable prices from participating dealers.

 

   

Rabbi Trust assets – The estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets in active markets.

 

   

Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities – The estimated fair values are based on the U.S. dollar swap curve, swaption values, or Fannie Mae to-be-announced (“TBA”) values. The valuation technique is consistent with that used in the previous quarter. Derivative market values are compared each month to market values provided by the derivative counterparties, and significant differences are investigated, based on certain criteria, and analyzed.

 

   

OTTI HTM – The estimated fair values are based on quoted prices, excluding accrued interest, as of the last business day of the period.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

For instruments carried at fair value, we review the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the valuation attributes may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in/out of the current level at fair value in the quarter in which the changes occur, as applicable.

We determined estimated fair value amounts by using available market information and our assumptions applied in our valuation models. These estimates are based on pertinent information available to us as of the reporting date. Because of the assumptions used in the valuation process, there are inherent limitations in estimating the fair value of these instruments. For example, because an active secondary market does not exist for a portion of our 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.

Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We measure certain HTM at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (i.e., when there is evidence of OTTI).

In accordance with the provisions of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, we recognized OTTI charges during the three months ended March 31, 2009, which were included in Other Income (Loss).

Our HTM with a carrying amount of $322,684,000 prior to write-down were written down to their fair value of $175,392,000, resulting in an OTTI charge of $147,292,000. Of this total OTTI charge, $18,550,000 was recorded in the Other Income (Loss) section of the Statement of Income, and $128,742,000 was recorded in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) section of the Statement of Condition.

The following table presents these investment securities by level within the SFAS 157 valuation hierarchy at March 31, 2009, for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2009 ($ amounts in thousands):

During 2008 and continuing into 2009, the divergence among prices obtained from several third-party pricing services increased, and continued to be significant throughout the first quarter of 2009. The significant reduction in transaction volumes and widening credit spreads led the Bank to conclude that prices received from pricing services, which were derived from the third party’s proprietary models, were reflective of significant unobservable inputs. Because of the significant unobservable inputs used by the pricing services, we consider these to be Level 3 inputs.

Estimated Fair Values

SFAS 107 requires disclosures of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments. The following estimated fair value amounts have been determined using available market information and our best judgment of appropriate valuation methods. These estimates are based on pertinent information available to us as of the reporting date. The estimated fair values, as determined using the definition of fair value described in SFAS 157, utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and reflect our judgment of how a market participant would estimate the fair values. The Fair Value Summary Tables below do not represent an estimate of our overall market value as a going concern, which would take into account future business opportunities and the net profitability of assets versus liabilities.

Sensitivity to assumptions. Estimates of the fair value of our financial instruments such as Advances with options, mortgage instruments, derivatives with embedded options and bonds with options using the methods described below are based on the model used to value these instruments, available market information and underlying assumptions used in valuation methodologies. Assumptions related to future cash flows, prepayment speed assumptions, expected interest rate volatility, methods to determine possible distributions of future interest rates used to value options, and the selection of discount rates, could have a significant impact on the resulting valuation estimates. These estimates are made as of a specific point in time and are susceptible to material near-term changes.

Cash and Due from Banks. The estimated fair value approximates the recorded book balance.

Interest-Bearing Deposits including certificates of deposit (“CDs”). The estimated fair value of interest-bearing deposits approximates the recorded book balance. The estimated fair value of CDs is determined by calculating the present value of the expected future cash flows and reducing the amount for accrued interest receivable.

Investment securities. The estimated fair value of our investment securities is determined as follows:

 

   

CDs – Determined by calculating the present value of the expected future cash flows and reducing the amount for accrued interest receivable.

 

   

AFS – Determined based on a composite of executable prices from participating dealers.

 

   

HTM – GSE debentures, corporate debentures guaranteed by the FDIC, and MBS and ABS are based on quoted prices, excluding accrued interest, as of the last business day of the period. State agency HTM are determined by calculating the present value of the expected future cash flows and reducing the amount for accrued interest receivable.

Federal Funds Sold. The estimated fair value is determined by calculating the present value of the expected future cash flows, excluding accrued interest, for instruments with more than one day to maturity. The discount rates used in these calculations are the rates for federal funds with similar terms. The estimated fair values approximate the recorded book balance for federal funds with one day to maturity.

Advances and other loans. We determine the estimated fair value of Advances by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows from the Advances and excluding the amount of the accrued interest receivable. The discount rates used in these calculations are the replacement Advance rates for Advances with similar terms. In accordance with the Finance Agency’s Advances regulations, Advances with a maturity and repricing period greater than six months require a prepayment fee sufficient to make us financially indifferent to the borrower’s decision to prepay the Advances. Therefore, the estimated fair value of Advances does not assume prepayment risk.

Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio. The estimated fair values for mortgage loans are determined based on quoted market prices of Fannie Mae mortgage loan pools with similar weighted average coupons. The actual value that would be obtained by selling the mortgages could be different due to other market considerations including the different credit and liquidity aspects of our mortgage loans relative to the mortgages in Fannie Mae loan pools. Additionally, these prices can change based on market conditions and are dependent upon the underlying prepayment characteristics.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable. The estimated fair value approximates the recorded book value.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities. We base the estimated fair values of derivatives on available market prices of instruments with similar terms including accrued interest receivable and payable. However, active markets do not exist for many types of financial instruments. Consequently, fair values for these instruments must be estimated using discounted cash flow analysis and comparisons to similar instruments. Estimates developed using these methods are subjective and require judgments regarding matters such as the amount and timing of future cash flows, volatility of interest rates, and the selection of discount rates that appropriately reflect market and credit risks. The estimated fair values are based on our assumptions underlying the valuation model. Because these estimates are made as of a specific point in time, as market conditions change, these estimates may change. We are subject to credit risk in derivatives transactions due to the potential nonperformance by the derivatives counterparties. To mitigate this risk, we enter into master netting agreements for interest rate exchange agreements with highly-rated institutions. In addition, we have entered into bilateral security agreements with all active derivatives dealer counterparties that provide for delivery of collateral at specified levels tied to counterparty credit ratings to limit our net unsecured credit exposure to these counterparties. We have evaluated the potential for the fair value of the instruments to be impacted by counterparty credit risk and have determined that no adjustments were significant or necessary to the overall fair value measurements. If these netted amounts are positive, they are classified as an asset and if negative, a liability.

Rabbi Trust assets. Rabbi Trust assets, included as a component of Other Assets, are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices as of the last business day of the reporting period.

Deposits. All deposits at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, were variable rate deposits. For such deposits, fair value approximates the carrying value.

Consolidated Obligations. We determine the estimated fair value of Consolidated Obligations based on our valuation models and available market information. Our internal valuation models determine fair values of Consolidated Obligations without embedded options using market-based yield curve inputs obtained from the Office of Finance. For fair values of Consolidated Obligations with embedded options, the internal valuation models use market-based inputs from the Office of Finance and derivative dealers. The fair value is then estimated by calculating the present value of the expected cash flows using discount rates that are based on replacement funding rates for liabilities with similar terms.

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock. The fair value of capital subject to mandatory redemption is generally at par value. Fair value also includes estimated dividends earned at the time of reclassification from equity to liabilities, until such amount is paid, and any subsequently declared stock dividend. Stock can only be acquired by members at par value and redeemed at par value. Stock is not traded, and no market mechanism exists for the exchange of stock outside the cooperative structure.

Commitments. The estimated fair value of our letters of credit was immaterial at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008. The estimated fair value of commitments to extend credit for Advances is recorded when a pre-determined rate is established before settlement date.

Commitments to extend credit for mortgage loans. Certain mortgage loan purchase commitments are recorded at their fair value as Derivative Assets or Liabilities in the Statement of Condition.

The estimated fair value of our commitments to extend credit is determined using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. The estimated fair value of these fixed-rate loan commitments also takes into account the difference between the current forward interest rate and the committed interest rate.

Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies

The FHLBs have joint and several liability for all Consolidated Obligations issued on behalf of any of the other FHLBs. Accordingly, should one or more of the FHLBs be unable to pay its participation in the Consolidated Obligations, each of the FHLBs could be called upon to repay all or part of such obligations, as determined or approved by the Finance Agency. No FHLB has ever had to assume or pay the Consolidated Obligations of another FHLB.

We considered the guidance under FIN 45 and determined it was not necessary to recognize a liability for the fair value of our joint and several liability for all of the Consolidated Obligations. The joint and several obligations are mandated by Finance Agency regulations and are not the result of arms-length transactions among the FHLBs. The FHLBs have no control over the amount of the guaranty or the determination of how each FHLB would perform under the joint and several liability. Because the FHLBs are subject to the authority of the Finance Agency as it relates to decisions involving the allocation of the joint and several liability for each of the FHLB’s Consolidated Obligations, our joint and several obligation is excluded from the initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45. Accordingly, we do not recognize a liability for our joint and several obligation related to Consolidated Obligations issued for the benefit of other FHLBs. The par amounts of the FHLBs’ outstanding Consolidation Obligations, including those held by other FHLBs, were approximately $1,135,379,159,000 and $1,251,541,664,000 at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Commitments that legally bind and unconditionally obligate us for additional Advances totaled approximately $72,733,000 and $12,045,000 at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. Commitments generally are for periods up to 12 months. Based on our credit analyses and collateral requirements, we do not deem it necessary to record any additional liability on these commitments.

Standby letters of credit are executed for members for a fee. A standby letter of credit is a financing arrangement between us and one of our members. If we are required to make payment on a beneficiary’s draw, this amount is converted into a collateralized Advance to the member. Outstanding standby letters of credit were as follows ($ amounts in thousands):

 

     March 31, 2009    December 31, 2008

Outstanding notional

   $ 410,857    $ 399,376

Original terms

     10 months – 15 years      10 months – 15 years

Final expiration year

     2019      2018

The value of the guarantees related to standby letters of credit entered into after 2002 are recorded in Other Liabilities and amount to $2,881,000 at March 31, 2009. Based on our credit analyses and collateral requirements, we have not deemed it necessary to record any additional liability on these commitments. Outstanding commitments that unconditionally obligate us for additional letters of credit were $2,769,000 at March 31, 2009, and $0 at December 31, 2008.

We had $180,512,000 of unused lines of credit available to members at March 31, 2009.

For managing the inherent credit risk in MPP, participating members pay us credit enhancement fees in order to fund the LRA and pay SMI. The LRA is held to offset any losses that may occur. When a credit loss occurs, the accumulated LRA is used to cover the credit loss in excess of borrower equity and primary mortgage insurance. Funds not used are returned to the member over time. The LRA amounted to $22,849,000 and $21,892,000 at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. SMI provides additional coverage over and above losses covered by the LRA. Reserves for additional probable losses are provisioned through the allowance for credit losses. No allowance for credit losses was considered necessary at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008.

Commitments that unconditionally obligate us to purchase mortgage loans totaled $65,850,000 and $76,173,000 at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. Commitments are generally for periods not to exceed 91 days. Such commitments were recorded as derivatives at their fair value.

We generally execute derivatives with major banks and broker-dealers and generally enter into bilateral pledge (collateral) agreements. We have posted $236,050,000 and $296,949,000 of collateral, at par, at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively.

As of March 31, 2009, we had committed to issue $855,000,000 par value of CO Bonds, $640,000,000 of which were hedged with associated interest rate swaps, and $9,981,000 par value of Discount Notes that had traded but not settled. This compares to $1,095,000,000 par value of CO Bonds, of which $500,000,000 were hedged with associated interest rate swaps, and $38,300,000 par value of Discount Notes that had traded but not settled as of December 31, 2008.

During the third quarter of 2008, each FHLB entered into a Lending Agreement with the U.S. Treasury in connection with the U.S. Treasury’s establishment of the Government Sponsored Enterprise Credit Facility (“GSECF”), as authorized by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (“HERA”). The GSECF is designed to serve as a contingent source of liquidity for the housing GSEs, including each of the twelve FHLBs. This credit facility will be available until December 31, 2009. Any borrowings made by one or more of the FHLBs under the GSECF would be considered Consolidated Obligations with the same joint and several liability as all other Consolidated Obligations. The terms of the borrowings are agreed to at the time of issuance. Loans under the Lending Agreement are to be secured by collateral acceptable to the U.S. Treasury, which consists of FHLB Advances that have been collateralized in accordance with regulatory standards and MBS issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Each FHLB is required to submit to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, acting as a fiscal agent of the U.S. Treasury, a list of eligible collateral updated on a weekly basis. As of March 31, 2009, we had provided a listing of Advance collateral amounting to $6,250,000,000, which provides for maximum borrowings of $5,038,000,000. The amount of collateral can be increased or decreased (subject to approval by the U.S. Treasury) at any time through the delivery of an updated listing of collateral. As of March 31, 2009, we have not drawn on this available source of liquidity.

We are subject to various pending legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of business. Management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of these matters will have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us at this time.

Notes 5, 7, 9, and 10 discuss other commitments and contingencies.

Overview

Our Business

We are a regional wholesale bank that makes Advances (loans), purchases mortgages, and provides other financial services to our member financial institutions. These member financial institutions consist of federally-insured depository institutions (including commercial banks, thrifts, and credit unions), community development financial institutions and insurance companies. All member financial institutions are required to purchase shares of our Class B Capital Stock as a condition of membership. Our public policy mission is to facilitate and expand the availability of financing for housing and community development. We seek to achieve this by providing services to our members in a safe, sound, and profitable manner, and by generating a competitive return on their capital investment.

We manage our business by grouping our products and services within two business segments:

 

   

Traditional Funding, Investments and Deposit Products (“Traditional”), which includes credit services (such as Advances, letters of credit, and lines of credit), investments (including Federal Funds Sold, AFS, MBS and ABS), and deposits; and

 

   

Mortgage Purchase Program (“MPP”), which consists of mortgage loans purchased from our members.

Our primary source of revenues is interest earned on:

 

   

Advances;

 

   

long- and short-term investments; and

 

   

mortgage loans acquired from our members.

Our principal source of funding is the proceeds from the sale to the public of FHLB debt instruments, called Consolidated Obligations, which are the joint and several obligation of all 12 FHLBs. We obtain additional funds from deposits, other borrowings, and the sale of capital stock to our members.

Our profitability is primarily determined by the interest rate spread between the amount earned on our assets and the amount paid on our share of the Consolidated Obligations. We use funding and hedging strategies to mitigate risk. Another important component of our profitability is the earnings on our capital balances. For this component, generally higher rates will tend to generate higher levels of earnings.

Our overall prospects are dependent on the market environment and our members’ demand for wholesale funding and sales of mortgage loans. Our members typically use wholesale funding, in the form of Advances, after they have exhausted their other sources of funding, such as retail deposits and excess liquidity. Also, members may sell mortgage loans to us as part of an overall business strategy.

In the past, periods of economic growth have led to significant use of wholesale funds by our members because businesses typically fund expansion by borrowing and/or reducing deposit balances. Conversely,

Table of Contents

slow economic growth has tended to decrease our members’ wholesale borrowing activity. However, the market conditions in the second half of 2007 and throughout 2008, including the liquidity, credit quality and valuation issues in the housing and mortgage markets, led to increased demand for Advances from many of our members and increased purchases of mortgage loans from our community bank and credit union members. Thus, our Advances balance grew while the overall economy was contracting. However, Advances have declined during the first quarter of 2009, while purchases of mortgage loans by the MPP have increased slightly.

Member demand for Advances and the MPP is also influenced by the steepness of the yield curve, as well as the availability and cost of other sources of wholesale or government funding.

The Economy and the Financial Services Industry

The credit quality and valuation issues in the housing and mortgage markets began several years ago as low mortgage interest rates fueled an escalation of home values and production. Lenders lowered their underwriting standards to qualify more borrowers and made use of more exotic types of mortgage products with less rigorous underwriting standards. Credit quality issues emerged as many of these borrowers defaulted on their mortgage loans. These issues were compounded when low introductory payments began to reset to higher levels on adjustable-rate and other mortgage loans, leaving more borrowers unable to make their mortgage payments. Tighter underwriting combined with an increasing supply of residential real estate for sale has driven home prices downward, leading to increased foreclosure rates and higher loss severities. In an attempt to address liquidity and economic concerns, the Federal Reserve Board cut the federal funds rate by over 400 basis points at the Federal Open Market Committee meetings held during 2008, bringing the rate to 0.00-0.25%. During 2008, the United States Congress enacted HERA and the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (including the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”)). We have not received, and are not eligible to receive, TARP funds. Both of these developments are described in more detail in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments—Regulatory Developments” in our 2008 Form 10-K. Also, see “Financial Trends in the Capital Markets” below for more information on recent market developments that impact the issuance and composition of the FHLB System’s Consolidated Obligations.

The mortgage market issues also played a role in the slowing of the economy in our district states of Indiana and Michigan. Economic data for Indiana and Michigan have generally been unfavorable compared to national data. Michigan’s unemployment rate for March 2009 of 12.6% was the highest in the nation, and Indiana’s rate of 10.0% also exceeded the United States rate of 8.5%. As of April 30, 2009, the United States unemployment rate increased to 8.9%. Indiana and Michigan experienced year-over-year manufacturing employment declines of 13.3% and 16.3%, respectively. Michigan’s mortgage foreclosure rate for the first quarter of 2009 of one filing for every 136 housing units was the sixth highest in the nation, while Indiana’s foreclosure rate of one filing for every 223 units was lower than the national rate of one filing for every 159 housing units. The Finance Agency’s monthly house price index indicates that housing prices in the East North Central Census Division (including Indiana and Michigan) declined by 4.1% between February 2008 and February 2009, compared to a 6.5% decline nationally. We believe the economic outlook for our district will continue to trail the overall United States economy.

We will continue to monitor the changing market conditions affecting our mortgage portfolios and the value of collateral pledged by our members. We anticipate that the serious economic decline in the housing and mortgage markets will have a further negative impact on the financial condition of some of our members. Our profitability will be adversely impacted if such members are no longer able to conduct business with us due to poor financial condition or lack of qualified collateral. Additionally, we anticipate that these conditions could have a further adverse impact on our MBS and MPP portfolios.

Financial Trends in the Capital Markets

The Office of Finance issues debt in the world-wide capital markets on behalf of the 12 FHLBs in the form of Consolidated Obligations, including CO Bonds and Discount Notes. Our funding operations depend on debt issued by the Office of Finance and the issuance of our debt is impacted by events in the capital markets.

The ongoing credit market crisis that began in mid-2007 and worsened throughout 2008 and the first three months of 2009 had a significant impact on the FHLBs, including our access to funding markets, funding costs, investor and dealer sponsorship, and the profile of our outstanding debt. Government initiatives have aided in reviving the GSE term debt markets, especially for large, fixed-rate, non-callable issues (bullet bonds). On March 18, 2009, the Federal Reserve Board announced that it would purchase up to an additional $100 billion in agency debt issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the FHLBs, increasing its total purchase authority to up to $200 billion since the inception of this program. Further, the Federal Reserve Board announced that it would purchase up to an additional $750 billion of agency MBS, increasing its total purchase authority to $1.25 trillion and that it would purchase up to $300 billion of longer-term United States Treasury securities over the next six months to help improve credit market conditions. In April 2009, the Federal Reserve purchased $14.5 billion in additional agency debt, including $5 billion in FHLB Global bonds and a gross $206 billion in additional agency MBS. Continued Federal Reserve purchasing appears to have lowered swapped funding costs as April’s aggregate bond funding costs for the FHLBs improved when compared to March 2009.

Foreign official holdings of GSE debt and MBS, as reported by the Federal Reserve Board, stabilized during the first quarter of 2009 following a sharp and sustained decline during the second half of 2008. In addition, primary securities dealer inventories of GSE debt securities, as reported by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which declined sharply during the fourth quarter of 2008, stabilized during the first quarter of 2009. Since late September 2008, money market funds, in aggregate, had been increasing their asset allocation to short-term GSE debt. During the first quarter of 2009, the rate of increase in that allocation declined.

Overall, FHLB debt outstanding continued to shrink during the first quarter of 2009, falling an additional $116 billion from year-end 2008 through the end of March due to a sharp decline in bonds outstanding.

FHLB bond redemptions, resulting from both scheduled maturities and exercised calls, reached historically high levels, resulting in lower debt outstanding. Despite the declining balance, the volume of FHLB bonds priced in the first quarter of 2009 was more than double the dollar volume priced during the fourth quarter of 2008. During April 2008, total Consolidated Obligations outstanding decreased slowly to a low of $1.1 trillion before increasing slightly before month end. See our 2008 Form 10-K for a summary of events occurring in the world-wide capital markets through March 16, 2009, and their impact on FHLB System Consolidated Obligations, including the Consolidated Obligations issued on our behalf.

Highlights of Our Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009

As of March 31, 2009, we determined that four private-label MBS classified as HTM were other-than temporarily impaired (“OTTI,” which term also refers to “other-than-temporary impairment,” as the context indicates). Our early adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and 124-2 resulted in the OTTI write-down equal to $147.3 million of our HTM portfolio being separated into two portions. The credit loss portion of this amount equaled $18.6 million and was recognized in Other Income (Loss). The amount of the total impairment related to all other factors was equal to $128.7 million and was recognized in Other Comprehensive Income. See “Risk Management – Credit Risk – Investments – OTTI Analysis” herein for more information on this analysis.

Net Income was $21.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $21.4 million or 49.5%, compared to $43.3 million for the same period in 2008. This decrease was primarily due to the $18.6 million credit loss portion of the OTTI write-down of our private-label MBS, the decrease of $7.6 million in Net Interest Income described below, and an increase of $2.1 million in Other Expenses. These decreases were partially offset by a decrease of $7.6 million in Total Assessments, consistent with the lower level of Net Income. A more detailed discussion of these changes in Net Income can be found in “Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009, and 2008” herein.

Table of Contents

Net Interest Income was $61.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $69.1 million for the same period in 2008. This decrease was primarily due to low market interest rates that resulted in narrower spreads on our short-term investments and Advances, and decreases in the average balances of HTM and Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio.

Total Assets were $56.0 billion as of March 31, 2009, a decrease of $0.9 billion compared to $56.9 billion as of December 31, 2008. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in Advances of $3.4 billion, mainly as a result of the maturity of $2.0 billion in Advances to a former member, as well as decreased demand for Advances from many of our members. This was partially offset by a 4.9% increase in Advances to insurance company members. See “Analysis of Financial Condition – Advances” herein for more information.

This decrease was partially offset by:

 

   

an increase in Federal Funds Sold of $2.6 billion to take advantage of investment opportunities and utilize capital; and

 

   

an increase in HTM of $1.2 billion primarily due to purchases of corporate debentures guaranteed by the FDIC and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States under the TLGP, partially offset by mortgage paydowns and the $147.3 million OTTI charge described in more detail in “Held-to-Maturity Securities” herein.

The overall balance of our Consolidated Obligations, which fluctuates in relation to our Total Assets, equaled $50.9 billion at March 31, 2009, compared to $52.2 billion at December 31, 2008, a decrease of $1.3 billion. This decrease resulted from reduced funding needs due to the decrease in Advances.

A more detailed discussion of the above changes can be found in “Analysis of Financial Condition” herein.

On May 15, 2009, we announced a cash dividend on our Class B-1 stock of 2.25% (annualized) and Class B-2 stock of 1.80% (annualized), based on our results for the first quarter of 2009. During the first three months of 2009, Retained Earnings increased by approximately $3.2 million compared to December 31, 2008, bringing our level of Retained Earnings to $285.9 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make a number of judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities (if applicable), and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. We believe the application of our accounting policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide financial statement users with useful, reliable and timely information about our earnings results, financial position and cash flows. Our management reviews these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience, changes in business conditions and other relevant factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in estimates and assumptions could potentially affect our financial position and results of operations significantly. In any given reporting period, our actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing our financial statements.

We have identified five accounting policies that we believe are critical because they require management to make subjective judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies are:

 

   

Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133);

 

   

Accounting for Premiums and Discounts and Other Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Mortgage Loans, MBS and ABS (SFAS 91);

 

40


Table of Contents
   

Provision for Credit Losses (SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan)

 

   

Fair Value Estimates; and

 

   

OTTI Analysis (FSP FAS 115-2 and 124-2).

A discussion of these critical accounting policies and estimates can be found in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” of our 2008 Form 10-K. See below for additional information regarding our OTTI analysis.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Analysis.

The continued broad-based deterioration of credit performance related to residential mortgage loans and the accompanying decline in United States residential real estate values have increased the level of credit risk to which we are exposed in our investments in mortgage-related securities, primarily private-label MBS and home equity loan investments. Our investments in mortgage-related securities are directly or indirectly supported by underlying mortgage loans. Due to the decline in values of residential United States real estate and difficult conditions in the credit markets, we closely monitor the performance of our investment securities classified as AFS or HTM on at least a quarterly basis to evaluate our exposure to the risk of loss on these investments in order to determine whether a loss is other-than-temporary, consistent with SFAS 115 (as amended by FSP FAS 115-1, The Meaning of Other-than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments and FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments).

For debt securities that are impaired, FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 requires an entity to assess whether (a) it has the intent to sell the debt security, or (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, an OTTI on the security must be recognized. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, the entire amortized cost basis of the security will not be recovered, and an OTTI is considered to have occurred. We consider whether or not we will recover the entire amortized cost of the security by comparing our best estimate of the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. These evaluations are inherently subjective and consider a number of qualitative factors. In addition to monitoring the credit ratings of these securities for downgrades, as well as placement on negative outlook or credit watch, our management evaluates other factors that may be indicative of OTTI. These include, but are not limited to, an evaluation of the type of security, the length of time and extent to which the fair value of a security has been less than its cost, any credit enhancement or insurance, and certain other collateral-related characteristics such as FICO credit scores, loan-to-value ratios, delinquency and foreclosure rates, geographic concentrations and the security’s performance. If our initial analysis identifies securities at risk of OTTI, we perform additional testing of these investments. Beginning in the first quarter of 2009, to promote consistency in determination of the OTTI for investment securities among all FHLBs, we used the prescribed key modeling assumptions for purposes of our cash flow analysis. At-risk securities are evaluated by estimating projected cash flows using models that incorporate projections and assumptions typically based on the structure of the security and certain economic environment assumptions such as delinquency and default rates, loss severity on the collateral supporting our security, based on underlying loan level borrower and loan characteristics, home price appreciation/depreciation, interest rates and securities prepayment speeds, while factoring in the underlying collateral and credit enhancement. A significant input to such analysis is the forecast of housing price changes for the relevant states and metropolitan statistical areas, which is based on an assessment of the relevant housing market. In response to the ongoing deterioration in housing prices, credit market stress, and weakness in the U.S. economy in the first quarter of 2009, which continued to affect the credit quality of the collateral, we modified certain assumptions in our cash flow analysis to reflect increased loss severities and a lower housing price index than we used in our analysis as of December 31, 2008. The loan level cash flows and losses are allocated to various security classes, including the security classes owned by our Bank, based on the cash flow and loss allocation rules of the individual security. However, to the extent that the future market environment is worse than the assumptions input in our model, shortfalls of principal or interest could occur, causing materially different results.

Table of Contents

In instances in which a determination is made that a credit loss (defined by FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis) exists, but the entity does not intend to sell the debt security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the debt security before the anticipated recovery of its remaining amortized cost basis (i.e., the amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss), FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 changes the presentation and amount of the OTTI recognized in the income statement. In these instances, the impairment is separated into (a) the amount of the total impairment related to the credit loss, and (b) the amount of the total impairment related to all other factors. If our cash flow analysis results in a present value of expected cash flows that is less than the amortized cost basis of a security (that is, a credit loss exists), an OTTI is considered to have occurred. If there is no credit loss, any impairment is considered temporary. If we determine that an OTTI exists, we account for the investment security as if it had been purchased on the measurement date of the OTTI at an amortized cost basis equal to the previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in non-interest income. The difference between the amortized cost basis and the cash flows expected to be collected is accreted into interest income prospectively over the remaining life of the investment security based on the amount and timing of future estimated cash flows (with no additional effect on earnings unless the security is subsequently sold or there are additional decreases in cash flows expected to be collected). Any changes in the estimates used in the OTTI analysis could result in materially different results. See additional discussion regarding the recognition and presentation of OTTI in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements and “Risk Management – Credit Risk – Investments” herein.

Net Income

Net Income totaled $21.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of 49.5% compared to $43.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The following factors contributed to this decrease in Net Income:

 

   

Other Income (Loss) decreased by $19.3 million due to the $18.6 million credit loss portion of the OTTI write-down of our private-label MBS and to fair value adjustments made in accordance with SFAS 133 that resulted in a decrease of $0.8 million in Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities;

 

   

Net Interest Income decreased by $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. The factors impacting Net Interest Income are addressed separately below under “Net Interest Income;” and

 

   

Other Expenses increased by $2.1 million due to higher pension expenses related to the early retirement or resignation of certain executive officers, an increase in Bank staff, higher salaries and incentive accruals and higher program maintenance fees and other professional fees related to the analysis of our HTM and AFS.

These factors were partially offset by the following:

 

   

Total Assessments for AHP and REFCORP decreased by $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, consistent with the lower level of Income Before Assessments.

Net Interest Income

Net Interest Income is our primary source of earnings. Net Interest Income equals interest earned on assets (including Advances, Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio, AFS, MBS, and other investments) less the interest expense (or cost of funds) on our liabilities (including Consolidated Obligations and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock). Net Interest Income also includes miscellaneous items such as prepayment fees earned and the amortization of debt issuance discounts, concession fees and SFAS 133 adjustments.

Net Interest Income decreased by $7.6 million or 11.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. This decrease was primarily due to lower yields on some of our interest-earning assets, and lower average balances of our HTM. As market interest rates have decreased, the corresponding decrease in the interest earned on our assets exceeded the decrease in the interest paid on our debt, resulting in lower Net Interest Income. Going forward, we expect further declines in Net Interest Income as the advantageous spreads between the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and our cost of funds revert to normal levels.

The increase in Total Other Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008, was primarily due to:

 

   

an increase in Compensation and Benefits primarily due to the following:

 

   

increased pension expenses due to settlement costs related to the early retirement or resignation of certain executive officers;

 

   

increase in Bank staff, higher salaries and incentive accruals due to merit and market based salary increases for employees; and

 

   

an increase in Other Operating Expenses primarily due to increased program maintenance fees and other professional fees related to the analysis of our HTM and AFS.

AHP and REFCORP Assessments

The financial obligations of AHP and REFCORP assessments as described below are statutorily required.

AHP. The FHLBs are required to contribute, in the aggregate, the greater of $100 million or 10% of their Net Income, before interest expense for Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock that is classified as debt, and after the REFCORP assessments to fund the AHP. The AHP expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009, was $2.9 million compared to $5.1 million for the same period in 2008.

REFCORP. With the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, Congress established a fixed payment of 20% of Net Income after the AHP obligation as the REFCORP payment beginning in 2000 for each FHLB. 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 12 FHLBs are equal in amount to what had been required under the previous calculation method. The 20% fixed percentage REFCORP rate applied to earnings resulted in expenses of $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $10.8 million for the same period in 2008.

The decreases in both AHP and REFCORP are directly attributable to our decrease in Income Before Assessments.

The decrease in Net Income for the Traditional segment for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008, was primarily due to the following factors:

 

   

a decrease in Net Interest Income resulting from lower average balances in HTM, lower average net equity, and narrower spreads on our short-term investments;

 

   

a decrease in Other Income (Loss) mainly due to the credit loss portion of the OTTI write-down of our private-label MBS; and

 

   

an increase in Other Expenses that is described in greater detail in “Other Expenses” herein.

These decreases were partially offset by reduced Total Assessments consistent with the lower level of Income Before Assessments.

The increase in Net Income for the MPP segment for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008, was primarily due to an increase in Net Interest Income due to continuing declines in market interest rates that resulted in wider spreads as we have been able to replace higher-costing debt with lower-costing debt.

This increase was partially offset by an increase in Total Assessments consistent with the higher level of Income Before Assessments for this business segment.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Advances

Advances decreased by $3.4 billion or 10.7% during the first three months of 2009 to $27.9 billion, compared to $31.2 billion at December 31, 2008. This decrease was primarily caused by the maturity of $2.0 billion in Advances to a former member as well as decreased demand for Advances from many of our members. This was partially offset by a 4.9% increase in Advances to insurance company members, which equaled $4.7 billion, or 17.5% of total Advances, at par, at March 31, 2009, compared to $4.5 billion, or 14.9% of total Advances, at par, as of December 31, 2008, and a decrease of $0.1 billion due to fair value adjustments made in accordance with SFAS 133. We expect Advances to continue to decline throughout 2009 due to the maturity of an additional $1.5 billion in Advances to a former member and the competitive pressures from alternative sources of wholesale funds available to our members.

In general, Advances fluctuate in accordance with our members’ funding needs related to their mortgage pipelines, investment opportunities, other balance sheet strategies, and the cost of alternative funding opportunities.

A breakdown of Advances, at par value, by primary product line, as of March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, is provided below:

Short-term Investments

As of March 31, 2009, short-term investments, which are comprised of Interest-Bearing Deposits and Federal Funds Sold, totaled $9.8 billion, an increase of $2.6 billion from December 31, 2008, due to an increase in Federal Funds Sold. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Regulatory and Accounting Developments—Regulatory Developments” in our 2008 Form 10-K for a summary of the revised liquidity guidelines issued by the Finance Agency on March 6, 2009.

Available-for-Sale Securities

AFS were $1.8 billion at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008. We purchased AAA-rated agency debentures for our AFS portfolio during 2008 in order to utilize capital capacity and take advantage of investment opportunities.

Held-to-Maturity Securities

HTM increased to $7.8 billion at March 31, 2009, compared to $6.7 billion at December 31, 2008, primarily due to purchases of corporate debentures guaranteed by the FDIC and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States under the TLGP. This increase was partially offset by mortgage paydowns and the $147.3 million credit and non-credit write-down of our private-label MBS.

The Finance Agency’s regulations provide that the total book value of our investments in MBS and ABS (which exclude TLGP purchases) must not exceed 300% of our Total Regulatory Capital, consisting of Retained Earnings, Class B Capital Stock, and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock, as of the previous month end on the day we purchase the securities. We were in compliance with this limit at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, as our investments in MBS and ABS were 223.3% and 247.7% of Total Regulatory Capital, respectively. The percentage of our investments in MBS and ABS to Total Regulatory Capital was less than 300% at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, because of the lack of favorable opportunities for the purchase of MBS and ABS.

On March 24, 2008, the Finance Agency passed a resolution temporarily granting the FHLBs the ability to purchase additional MBS and ABS, not to exceed 600% of Total Regulatory Capital, in order to increase liquidity in the MBS markets. As of May 8, 2009, we have not requested this temporary authority from our board. We do not know if we will participate or on what terms our board may authorize any increased investment in MBS under this temporary authority.

We performed an OTTI analysis and determined that four private-label MBS were OTTI at March 31, 2009. See “Investments – OTTI Analysis” in the Risk Management section herein for more information on the results of our OTTI analysis. The general deterioration in the market for private-label MBS resulted in the unrealized losses in our HTM portfolio that are shown in the tables below. This deterioration resulted from decreased credit performance of mortgage loans and declining housing prices, compounded by market illiquidity as a result of forced portfolio liquidations by certain large investors.

Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio

We purchase mortgage loans from our members through our MPP. At March 31, 2009, after considering the effects of premiums, discounts, SFAS 133 basis adjustments, and allowances for credit losses on mortgage loans, we held $8.4 billion in mortgage loans purchased from our members, compared to $8.8 billion at December 31, 2008. We anticipate that our outstanding Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio will continue to decrease during 2009 due to the loss of several large sellers of new mortgage loans in 2006 and 2007, the reduction of outstanding balances due to maturity or prepayment, and our continuing transition from purchasing loans primarily from large members to purchasing loans primarily from small to mid-size members.

Although the current economic conditions have led to increased purchases of mortgage loans from our members, the increase has not been large enough to offset the reduction due to maturity or prepayment. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” for more information. Some of the other factors that impact the volume of mortgage loans purchased through the MPP include the general level of housing activity in the United States, the level of refinancing activity, and consumer product preferences. In accordance with our MPP policy for conventional loans, we purchase conforming, fixed-rate, fixed-term mortgage loans.

The following table presents the composition of our outstanding purchased mortgage loans at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008:

Deposits (Liabilities)

Total deposits were $0.8 billion at March 31, 2009, compared to $0.6 billion at December 31, 2008. These deposits represent a relatively small portion of our funding, and they vary depending upon market factors, such as the attractiveness of our deposit pricing relative to the rates available on alternative money market instruments, members’ investment preferences with respect to the maturity of their investments, and member liquidity.

Consolidated Obligations

At March 31, 2009, the carrying values of Discount Notes and CO Bonds issued on our behalf totaled $20.6 billion and $30.3 billion, respectively, compared to $23.5 billion and $28.7 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2008. The overall balance of our Consolidated Obligations fluctuates in relation to our Total Assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in our Advances.

Derivatives

As of March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, we had Derivative Assets net of collateral held or paid including accrued interest with market values of $3.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and Derivative Liabilities net of collateral held or paid including accrued interest with market values of $1.1 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. These amounts reflect the impact of interest rate changes that affected the market value of our derivatives. We record all derivative financial instruments on the Statements of Condition at their fair value with changes in the fair value of all derivatives, excluding collateral, recorded through earnings.

The principal derivative instruments we use are interest rate swaps and TBAs. We classify interest rate swaps as derivative assets or liabilities according to the net fair value of the interest rate swaps with each counterparty. Because these swaps are covered by a master netting agreement, they are classified as an asset if the net fair value of the interest rate swaps with a counterparty is positive or as a liability if the net fair value of the interest rate swaps with a counterparty is negative. TBAs are not covered by a master netting agreement and are recorded as a derivative asset or liability based upon fair value. Increases and decreases in the fair value of each of these instruments are primarily caused by market changes in the derivative’s underlying interest rate index.

Capital

Total Capital decreased to $2.0 billion at March 31, 2009, compared to $2.1 billion at December 31, 2008. The following table presents the components of this $0.1 billion decrease:

Retained Earnings

Retained Earnings equaled $285.9 million at March 31, 2009, an increase of $3.2 million compared to December 31, 2008. The following table quantifies the net change in Retained Earnings:

Our Retained Earnings Policy establishes guidelines for our board to use in determining the amount of earnings to retain. Our board reviews these guidelines on a quarterly basis and considers them, but is not bound by them, when determining our dividend rate. The Retained Earnings balance at March 31, 2009, adjusted for the first quarter dividend of $10.3 million that was declared on May 13, 2009, was $275.6 million. Our Retained Earnings target can be superseded by Finance Agency mandates, either by an order specific to the Bank, by issuance of new advisory guidelines, or by promulgation of new regulations requiring a level of Retained Earnings that is different from our currently targeted level. Over time, and as our risk profile changes, we will continue to evaluate our Retained Earnings position.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our cash and short-term investment portfolio, which includes Federal Funds Sold and Interest-Bearing Deposits, totaled $9.8 billion at March 31, 2009, compared to $8.1 billion at December 31, 2008. The maturities of the short-term investments provide cash flows to support our ongoing liquidity needs.

Our primary sources of liquidity are short-term investments and the issuance of new Consolidated Obligations in the form of CO Bonds and Discount Notes. As of May 8, 2009, the Consolidated Obligations were rated Aaa/P-1 by Moody’s and AAA/A-1+ by S&P. Their GSE-issuer status and these ratings have historically provided excellent access to the capital markets for the FHLBs. In addition, under certain circumstances, the United States Treasury may acquire up to $4 billion of the FHLBs’ Consolidated Obligations, which would offer additional liquidity to the FHLBs, if needed. See “Risk Factors – Our Credit Rating Could be Lowered” in our 2008 Form 10-K, for a discussion of events that could have a negative impact on the rating of these Consolidated Obligations.

On September 9, 2008, each of the twelve FHLBs entered into a Lending Agreement with the United States Treasury in connection with the United States Treasury’s establishment of a GSECF as authorized by HERA. The GSECF is designed to serve as a contingent source of liquidity for the housing GSEs, including each of the FHLBs. This credit facility will be available until December 31, 2009. As of May 8, 2009, we provided a listing of $8.5 billion of Advances that may be pledged as collateral, which would provide for maximum borrowings of $7.1 billion. The amount of collateral available can be expanded or contracted at any time through the delivery of an updated listing of collateral. As of May 8, 2009, we have not drawn on this available source of liquidity and have no immediate plans to do so.

We maintain a contingency liquidity plan designed to enable us to meet our obligations and the liquidity needs of our members in the event of operational disruptions at the FHLBs or the Office of Finance, or short-term capital market disruptions. Our regulatory liquidity requirement is to maintain at least five business days of liquidity without access to the capital markets. In addition, to protect the FHLBs against temporary disruptions in access to the debt markets, effective March 6, 2009, the Finance Agency issued additional liquidity guidelines to address the stress and instability in domestic and international credit

markets. As of May 8, 2009, we met the requirements of the liquidity guidelines. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations—Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments – Regulatory Developments—Guidelines for FHLBs Liquidity” in our 2008 Form 10-K for more information on these guidelines.

Total Regulatory Capital

Our total regulatory capital consists of Retained Earnings and total regulatory capital stock, which includes Class B Capital Stock, and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock. Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock is classified as a liability in accordance with GAAP on our Statements of Condition.

As of March 31, 2009, $918.2 million or 38% of our total regulatory capital stock balance was comprised of stock not required as a condition of membership or to support services to members, compared to $748.4 million or 31% at December 31, 2008. The increase of $169.8 million in excess stock was primarily due to the decrease in Advances. In general, the level of excess stock fluctuates with our members’ demand for Advances.

Capital Resources

The following table presents minimum capital ratios, permanent and risk-based capital requirement amounts, and various leverage ratios as of March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008:

Total risk-based capital requirement

   $ 1,097,750    $ 1,482,476
             

The decrease in the risk-based capital requirement was due to a decrease in the market risk and operations risk components. The market risk capital component decreased due to an increase in our market value of equity. There is a regulatory requirement to increase the market risk capital component by the amount that our market value of equity is below 85% of our Total Regulatory Capital. The operations risk capital component equals 30% of the credit risk and market risk capital components. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations—Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments – Regulatory Developments – Regulatory Actions—Application for Waiver of Certain Risk-Based Capital Requirements” in our 2008 Form 10-K for more information.

On January 27, 2009, the Finance Agency issued an interim final rule (published in the Federal Register on January 30, 2009) relating to the FHLBs’ capital classifications, critical capital levels, and Retained Earnings levels. Sections 1141 and 1142 of HERA authorize the Director of the Finance Agency to establish by regulation the critical capital level for the FHLBs and require the Director to establish criteria for each of four capital classifications: adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. Based on the criteria in the interim rule, we would be considered adequately capitalized as we hold sufficient capital to meet both our minimum capital and risk-based capital requirements. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments – Regulatory Developments” in our 2008 Form 10-K for more information.

Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock

At March 31, 2009, we had $538.4 million in capital stock subject to mandatory redemption, compared to $539.1 million in capital stock subject to mandatory redemption at December 31, 2008. The following table presents the components of this $0.7 million decrease.

We generally will not redeem or repurchase member capital stock until five years after either the membership is terminated or we receive a notice of withdrawal from membership. If we receive a request to redeem excess stock, we are not required to redeem or repurchase such excess stock until the expiration of the five-year redemption period. However, we reserve the right to repurchase, and have repurchased, excess stock from a member, without a member request and at our discretion, upon 15 days’ notice to the member.

In addition to the Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock, we had $39.9 million of excess and other stock subject to a redemption request at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008. These stock redemption requests are not subject to reclassification from equity to liability, as the requesting member may revoke its request at any time, without penalty, throughout the five-year waiting period, and the amount ultimately redeemed, if any, is contingent on the member meeting various stock requirements on the redemption date. These requests are not considered substantive in nature, and, therefore, these amounts are not classified as a liability.

The following table shows the amount of all pending capital redemption requests received from members and former members by year of redemption at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008 ($ amounts in thousands):

Capital Distributions

We may, but are not required to, pay dividends on our stock. Dividends may be paid in cash or Class B Capital Stock out of current and previous Retained Earnings, as authorized by our board, and subject to Finance Agency regulations. Finance Agency regulations prohibit an FHLB from issuing new excess stock if the amount of excess stock outstanding exceeds one percent of the Bank’s Total Assets. At March 31, 2009, our outstanding excess stock of $918.2 million was equal to 1.64% of our Total Assets. Therefore, we are currently not permitted to pay stock dividends because our excess stock balance exceeds 1.00% of our Total Assets.

Cash dividends on Class B Capital Stock were paid at an annualized rate of 4.00% during the first quarter of 2009 and 4.75% during the first quarter of 2008 based on our earnings for the fourth quarters of 2008 and 2007, respectively.

On May 15, 2009, we announced a cash dividend on our Class B-1 Capital Stock of 2.25% (annualized) based on our results for the first quarter of 2009. On April 13, 2008, we announced a cash dividend on our Class B-1 Capital Stock of 5.25% (annualized), based on our results for the first quarter of 2008. The decrease in our dividend payout ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2008, reflects our lower Net Income this quarter.

On March 13, 2009, our board approved an amendment to our Capital Plan to allow more time to complete the determination of our quarterly income before a dividend is declared. This amendment is awaiting approval by the Finance Agency. Future dividends will be determined based on income earned each quarter, our Retained Earnings Policy, and capital management considerations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the third quarter of 2008, each of the twelve FHLBs entered into a Lending Agreement with the United States Treasury in connection with the United States Treasury’s establishment of the GSECF designed to serve as a contingent source of liquidity for the housing GSEs, including the FHLBs. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” herein for more information on the Lending Agreement. In addition, under certain circumstances, the United States Treasury may acquire up to $4.0 billion of the FHLBs’ Consolidated Obligations, which would offer us additional liquidity, if needed.

Commitments that legally bind and unconditionally obligate us for additional Advances and letters of credit totaled approximately $75.5 million and $12.0 million at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. The increase is primarily due to an increase in funds-only commitments on Advances and letters of credit that tend to be higher at the beginning of the year than the end of the year. Funds-only commitments generally are for periods up to six months. Based on management’s credit analyses and collateral requirements, we do not deem it necessary to record any additional liability on these commitments.

Commitments that unconditionally obligate us to fund/purchase mortgage loans totaled $65.9 million and $76.2 million at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. Commitments are generally for periods not to exceed 91 days.

Unused lines of credit totaled $180.5 million at March 31, 2009, and $166.7 million at December 31, 2008.

The notional amount of outstanding letters of credit totaled $410.9 million at March 31, 2009, and $399.4 million at December 31, 2008.

Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments

Accounting Developments

See Note 2 of the Financial Statements for a description of how recent accounting developments may impact our results of operations or financial condition.

Regulatory Developments

FDIC TLGP. On March 17, 2009, the FDIC amended its TLGP by extending the debt guarantee portion of the TLGP from June 30, 2009, through October 31, 2009. In addition, on April 1, 2009, the FDIC began imposing a surcharge on assessments against issuing institutions for the debt guarantee portion of the TLGP debt issued with a maturity of one year or more to gradually phase-out the program. At March 31, 2009, we had $2.2 billion in investments subject to the debt guarantee portion of the TLGP. Although we have the option of accepting collateral on Advances subject to this program, we did not hold any such collateral as of May 8, 2009.

Grayson-Himes Pay for Performance Act. On April 1, 2009, the United States House of Representatives passed H.R. 1664, the “Grayson-Himes Pay for Performance Act” (the “Grayson-Himes Act”). In its current form, the Grayson-Himes Act would apply to any financial institution that has received (or receives in the future) a direct capital investment by the United States Treasury under TARP or pursuant to Section 1117 of HERA, which authorizes the purchase of FHLB obligations under certain circumstances. The Grayson-Himes Act would place certain prohibitions and restrictions on executive and employee compensation at such institutions, and would require the United States Treasury Secretary to establish mandatory performance-based standards as well as standards that define “unreasonable or excessive” compensation. The act also contains certain reporting requirements for affected institutions. We have not issued any Consolidated Obligations or other securities to the United States Treasury under Section 1117 of HERA. If we were to do so, the Grayson-Himes Act, if enacted in its current form, would apply to us. We are unsure how the Grayson-Himes Act, if enacted in its current form, might affect our compensation programs or employee recruitment and retention.

Finance Agency Guidance on OTTI. On April 28, 2009 and May 7, 2009, the Finance Agency provided the FHLBs with guidance on the process of determining OTTI with respect to private-label MBS. The goal of the guidance is to promote consistency among all FHLBs in making such determinations, based on the understanding that investors in the Consolidated Obligations of the FHLBs can better understand and utilize the information in the combined financial reports if it is prepared on a consistent basis. In order to achieve this goal and move to a common analytical framework, and recognizing that several FHLBs intended to early-adopt FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, the Finance Agency required all FHLBs to early-adopt FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 and follow certain guidelines for determining OTTI for the first quarter of 2009.

Under the Finance Agency guidance, each FHLB continues to identify private-label MBS it holds that should be subject to a cash flow analysis consistent with GAAP and other regulatory guidance. To effect consistency in this cash flow analysis, the guidance requires for the first quarter of 2009 that the FHLB of San Francisco (“FHLB San Francisco”) provide the key modeling assumptions to be used by FHLBs to produce cash flow analyses used in analyzing credit losses and determining OTTI for residential private-label MBS, including those held commonly by two or more FHLBs, other than subprime, monoline insured and home equity private-label MBS. The guidance also requires FHLB San Francisco to determine these key modeling assumptions for all FHLBs based upon the guidance in FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2. The guidance requires FHLBs performing their own cash flow analysis also to perform certain control checks to ensure they can accurately replicate FHLB San Francisco’s cash flow results for multiple private-label MBS.

In addition to using the modeling assumptions provided by FHLB San Francisco, the guidance requires for the first quarter of 2009 that each FHLB conduct its own OTTI analysis utilizing a specified third-party risk model and a specified third-party detailed underlying loan data source. Each FHLB is responsible for making its own determination of OTTI and performing the required present value calculations using appropriate historical cost bases and yields. FHLBs that hold common private-label MBS are required to consult with one another to make sure that any decision that a commonly-held private-label MBS is other-than-temporarily impaired, including the determination of fair value and the credit loss component of the unrealized loss, is consistent between or among those FHLBs.

Table of Contents

With respect to subprime, monoline insured and home equity private-label MBS, the Finance Agency’s guidance further requires that the FHLBs’ OTTI analyses be run on a common platform for the first quarter of 2009. Consistent with this requirement, FHLBs holding one or more of these types of private-label MBS must use the FHLB of Chicago’s (“FHLB Chicago”) platform. FHLB Chicago has provided such FHLBs (including our Bank) with the related modeling assumptions and cash flow analysis for purposes of analyzing credit losses and determining OTTI on such MBS.

For the period ending March 31, 2009, we completed our OTTI analysis and made our impairment determination utilizing the risk model and loan performance data source specified in the Finance Agency guidance, as well as the assumptions provided by FHLB San Francisco and FHLB Chicago, with the following exceptions. For two subprime private-label MBS that we held in common with another FHLB, neither FHLB San Francisco nor FHLB Chicago was able to perform the necessary cash flow analysis using the specified third-party risk model. However, we were able to perform the necessary cash flow analysis using a different third-party model and determined that neither MBS was OTTI. Pursuant to the Finance Agency’s guidance, we then consulted with the other FHLB with respect to the commonly held security and verified consistency in our respective determinations regarding OTTI. See Note 2 to our financial statements and “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” and “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Investments” herein for more information.

Risk Management

The United States residential mortgage market weakened substantially during the second half of 2007, and continued to deteriorate through the filing of this report. The various factors that have caused this broad credit market deterioration in the housing and mortgage markets have continued to worsen. During that time, risk aversion escalated in the marketplace for mortgage-related securities. Additionally, MBS have been subject to numerous NRSRO downgrades. Concern over the impact of the declining credit performance of mortgages and declining home prices has caused the mortgage credit markets to deteriorate considerably, and this deterioration has spread to the broader credit markets. In particular, the market for mortgage-related securities has been characterized by high levels of volatility and uncertainty, reduced demand and liquidity, significantly wider credit spreads, and sharply declining prices. MBS that were issued with AAA ratings are currently at risk of experiencing principal losses. See “OTTI Analysis” herein for more information on the write-down of our HTM due to this deterioration in the United States residential mortgage market.

The Federal Reserve attempted to prevent a serious and extended economic downturn resulting from these mortgage market difficulties by taking significant interest rate reduction and liquidity actions. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations—Financial Trends in the Capital Markets and Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments – Regulatory Developments” in our 2008 Form 10-K for information on actions taken by the Federal government to ease the crisis in the credit markets.

We depend heavily on the residential mortgage market through the collateral securing Advances and holdings of mortgage-related assets. We have outstanding credit exposures related to the MPP, investments in agency debentures and private-label and agency MBS, Federal Funds Sold and derivatives which may be further impacted by the mortgage market deterioration.

We have the potential for exposure to a number of risks in pursuing our business objectives. One primary risk, market risk, is discussed in detail below under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” Other critical risks may be broadly classified as credit, liquidity, operational, and business. Our credit risk management practices are discussed in the following section, and a detailed discussion of the policies and practices that have been established to manage these risk positions can be found in our 2008 Form 10-K in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management.”

Credit Risk Management

Credit risk is the risk that members or other counterparties may be unable to meet their contractual obligations or that the value of an obligation will decline as a result of deterioration in creditworthiness. We face credit risk on Advances and other credit products, investments, mortgage loans, derivative financial instruments, and AHP grants. The most important step in the management of credit risk is the initial decision to extend credit. We also manage credit risk by following established policies, evaluating the creditworthiness of our members and counterparties, and utilizing collateral agreements and settlement netting. Periodic monitoring of members and other counterparties is performed for all areas where we are exposed to credit risk.

Advances. We manage our exposure to credit risk on Advances through a combination of our secured interest in assets pledged by the borrowing member and ongoing reviews of our borrowers’ financial condition. Section 10(a) of the Bank Act prohibits us from making Advances without sufficient collateral to secure the Advance. Although we have never experienced a credit loss on an Advance to a member in over 75 years of existence, the continuing deterioration in the housing market has increased our credit risk and led us to enhance our collateral review and monitoring. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Risk Management – Advances” in our 2008 Form 10-K for more information on our credit risk management on Advances.

The following table provides information regarding credit products outstanding with members and non-member borrowers based on reporting status at March 31, 2009, along with their corresponding collateral balances. The table only lists collateral that is identified and pledged by members and non-member borrowers with outstanding credit products at March 31, 2009, and does not include all assets against which we have a lien pursuant to our security agreement and UCC filings.

(4) These are averages of total collateral to credit outstanding for all of our members – individual members may have collateral ratios that are higher or lower than these percentages.

Credit risk can be magnified if the lender concentrates its portfolio in a few borrowers. Because of our limited territory, Indiana and Michigan, and because of continuing consolidation among the financial institutions that comprise the members of the 12 FHLBs, we have only a limited pool of large borrowers. As of March 31, 2009, our top two borrowers held 30.5% of total Advances outstanding, at par. One of

Table of Contents

these borrowers is a former member with $3.0 billion or 11.1% of total Advances outstanding, at par; $1.5 billion of these Advances are scheduled to mature during 2009. Because of this concentration in Advances, we perform frequent credit and collateral reviews on our largest borrowers. In addition, we analyze the implications to our financial management and profitability if we were to lose the business of one or more of these borrowers.

Based upon the collateral held as security on Advances, our prior repayment history, and the protections provided by Section 10(e) of the Bank Act, we do not believe that an allowance for losses on Advances is necessary at this time.

AHP. Our AHP requires participating members and project sponsors to make commitments with respect to the usage of the AHP grants to assist very low-, low-, and moderate-income families, as defined by regulation. If these commitments are not met, we may have the obligation to recapture these funds from the member or project sponsor or to replenish the AHP fund. This credit exposure is not explicitly collateralized but is addressed in part by evaluating project feasibility at the time of an award and the ongoing monitoring of AHP projects.

Investments. We are also exposed to credit risk through our investment portfolios. The Risk Management Policy approved by our board restricts the acquisition of investments to high-quality, short-term money market instruments and highly rated long-term securities. The continuing deterioration in the housing and capital markets has led to increased credit risk from our short-term unsecured investment portfolio due to the potential adverse financial impact on the domestic and foreign banks which are our counterparties. We place funds with large, high-quality financial institutions with long-term credit ratings of BBB or higher on an unsecured basis for terms of up to 275 days; most placements mature within 90 days. We actively monitor counterparty ratings, performance, and capital adequacy of these counterparties in an effort to mitigate unsecured credit risk on the short-term investments. At March 31, 2009, our unsecured credit exposure, including accrued interest related to investment securities and money-market instruments, was $9.3 billion to 23 counterparties and issuers, including $5.2 billion of Federal Funds Sold that mature overnight.

Our long-term investments consist of residential and commercial MBS and ABS. Our ABS include both manufactured housing and home equity loans. We also are subject to secured credit risk related to MBS, ABS, and state and local housing finance agency obligations that are directly or indirectly supported by underlying mortgage loans. Investments in MBS and ABS may be purchased as long as the balance of outstanding MBS/ABS is equal to or less than 300 percent of our Total Regulatory Capital, and must be rated AAA at the time of purchase. Housing finance agency bonds must carry a credit rating of AA or higher as of the date of purchase.

The deterioration of the mortgage market has resulted in a sharply higher risk of loss on investments, particularly MBS and ABS, which are tied to the mortgage market.

Prices of many of our private-label MBS and ABS dropped dramatically during the year ended December 31, 2008, as delinquencies and foreclosures affecting the loans underlying these securities continued to worsen and as credit markets became highly illiquid. The prices have remained relatively stable during the first quarter of 2009. The following graph demonstrates how average prices changed with respect to the securities held in our MBS and ABS portfolio since September 2007.

LOGO

In 2008 and the first three months of 2009, delinquency and foreclosure rates increased significantly nationwide, a trend that has continued through the date of this report and that we expect to continue through 2009. Moreover, home prices have fallen in most areas, increasing the likelihood and magnitude of potential losses to lenders on foreclosed real estate. The widespread impact of these trends has led to the recognition of significant losses by financial institutions (including commercial banks, investment banks, and financial guaranty providers) and other investors. Uncertainty as to the depth and duration of these trends has led to a significant reduction in the market values of securities backed by mortgages and has elevated the potential for OTTI on some of these securities. The fair values of our MBS and ABS are based on market prices collected from multiple nationally-recognized pricing vendors. The prices of the MBS and ABS are reviewed on a monthly basis by our management. For March 31, 2009, we did not use any dealer quotes or manually calculated prices.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment on Investment Securities.

As of March 31, 2009, we have no MBS classified as AFS. All of our AFS are agency debentures. We have no unrealized losses, and therefore have no OTTI on our AFS portfolio.

As of March 31, 2009, all of our MBS are classified as HTM. We do not intend to sell these securities, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of each security’s remaining amortized cost basis. We actively monitor the credit quality of our MBS to

evaluate our exposure to the risk of loss on these investments. Through March 31, 2009, we recognized $18.6 million of credit-related OTTI charges in earnings related to four private-label MBS classified as HTM after we determined that it was likely that we would not recover the entire amortized cost of each of these securities. If delinquency and/or loss rates on mortgages continue to increase, and/or a rapid decline in residential real estate values continues, we could experience further reduced yields or additional losses on our investment securities.

The contractual cash flows of our agency MBS, agency debentures, and corporate debentures guaranteed by the FDIC are guaranteed by an agency of the United States government. Accordingly, it is expected that these investments would not be settled at a price less than their amortized cost bases. In addition, all of these investments had a credit rating of AAA at March 31, 2009. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because we intend to hold these securities to maturity and will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, we do not consider these investments to be OTTI at March 31, 2009.

MBS and ABS must be rated AAA at the time of purchase, and state and local housing finance agency obligations must be rated AA or higher at the time of purchase. Each of the securities contains one or more of the following forms of credit protection:

 

   

Guarantee of principal and interest – The issuer guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest.

 

   

Excess spread – The average coupon rate of the underlying mortgage loans in the pool is higher than the coupon rate on the MBS note. The spread differential may be used to offset any losses that may be realized.

 

   

Overcollateralization – The total outstanding balance on the underlying mortgage loans in the pool is greater than the outstanding MBS note balance. The excess collateral is available to offset any losses that may be realized.

 

   

Subordination – Represents the structure of classes of the security, where subordinated classes absorb any credit losses before the senior classes.

 

   

Insurance wrap – A third-party bond insurance company guarantees timely payment of principal and interest to certain classes of the security.

We evaluate our securities portfolio to determine whether any of the investment securities that are impaired are considered OTTI. As part of this process, we consider our intent to sell each debt security and whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is met, we recognize an OTTI charge in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the Statement of Condition date. For securities that meet neither of these conditions, we perform an analysis to determine if any of these securities are at risk for OTTI. The difference between our best estimate of the present value of the cash flows likely to be collected and the amortized cost basis is considered the credit loss.

If we determine that an OTTI exists, we account for the investment security as if it had been purchased on the measurement date of the OTTI at an amortized cost basis equal to the previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in Other Income (Loss). The difference between the new amortized cost basis and the cash flows expected to be collected is accreted into interest income prospectively over the remaining life of the investment security based on the amount and timing of future estimated cash flows (with no additional effect on earnings unless the security is subsequently sold or there are additional decreases in cash flows expected to be collected). Cash flows expected to be collected represent the cash flows that we are likely to collect after a careful assessment of all available information about each individual security at risk for OTTI, such as various securities’ characteristics including, but not limited to, the following: the credit rating and related outlook or status; the creditworthiness of the issuers of the agency debt securities; the strength of the GSE’s guarantees of the holdings of agency MBS the underlying type of collateral; the duration and level of the unrealized loss; any credit enhancements or insurance; and certain other collateral-related characteristics such as FICO® credit scores, delinquency rates and the security’s performance. The relative importance of this information varies based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each security, as well as the economic environment at the time of assessment. Beginning in the first quarter of

Table of Contents

2009, to promote consistency in determination of the OTTI for investment securities among all FHLBs, we used the prescribed key modeling assumptions for purposes of our cash flow analysis. A significant input to such analysis is the forecast of housing price changes for the relevant states and metropolitan statistical areas, which is based on an assessment of the relevant housing market. In response to the ongoing deterioration in housing prices, credit market stress, and weakness in the U.S. economy in the first quarter of 2009, which continued to affect the credit quality of the collateral, we modified certain assumptions in our cash flow model to reflect higher default rates, more extreme loss severities, and more moderate rates of housing price recovery than were used in our previous analysis. The loan level cash flows and losses are allocated to various security classes, including the security classes owned by our Bank, based on the cash flow and loss allocation rules of the individual security. These assumptions have a significant effect on determining whether any of the investment securities are OTTI, and the reported fair value of our private-label MBS and home equity loan investments, and the income and expense related thereto. The use of different assumptions, as well as changes in market conditions, could result in materially different net income and retained earnings.

For our non-agency MBS, we evaluated certain risk factors in order to identify those investments which should be subjected to a detailed cash flow analysis to determine the cash flows that are likely to be collected. The risk factors used in selecting each of these securities for further analysis included: the magnitude of the security’s estimated fair value discount as a percentage of the security’s carrying value, adverse rating agency actions on the security, and a variety of criteria related to the credit performance of the underlying collateral, including the ratio of seriously delinquent loans to credit enhancement and other considerations deemed necessary. We identified 44 at-risk securities out of the 90 non-agency MBS in our portfolio. For each of these at-risk securities, we performed a cash flow analysis using models that project prepayments, default rates, and loss severities on the collateral supporting our security, based on underlying loan-level borrower and loan characteristics, expected housing price changes, and interest rate assumptions. These loan level cash flows and losses were then allocated to various security classes, including the security class(es) we own, based on the cash flow and loss allocation rules of the individual security. We use these models to estimate the expected cash flows from our securities as part of our process for assessing whether it is more likely than not that we will not collect all of the contractual amounts due. These assumptions have a significant effect on determining whether any of the investment securities are considered OTTI, and the income and expense related thereto. The use of different assumptions, as well as changes in market conditions, could result in materially different Net Income and Retained Earnings.

Based on our analyses and reviews, we determined, in accordance with SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, that four of our non-agency MBS (2007 vintage) were considered OTTI at March 31, 2009, because we determined it was more likely than not that we would not collect all of the contractual amounts due on each of these securities. As of March 31, 2009, the credit loss on these securities was $18.6 million based on the present value of projected future cash flows as compared to the amortized cost. This OTTI charge was reflected in Other Income (Loss) in the first quarter of 2009. The corresponding non-credit loss component of this OTTI charge is reflected in OCI as shown in the table below ($ amount in thousands).

The remaining 46 non-agency MBS that were not subjected to the cash flow analyses described above, because they were not identified as at-risk securities, have experienced unrealized losses and a decrease in fair value due to interest rate volatility, illiquidity in the marketplace, and credit deterioration in the U.S. mortgage markets. However, the decline is considered temporary as we expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis on the remaining HTM in unrealized loss position. We do not intend to sell these securities, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before our anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis.

While there is no universally accepted definition for prime, Alt-A or subprime underwriting standards, MBS and ABS are classified as prime, Alt-A or subprime based on the originator’s classification at the time of origination or based on classification by an NRSRO upon issuance. In general, prime underwriting implies a borrower who has documented their income, who does not have a history of delinquent payments and who has a loan amount that is at or less than 80% of the market value of the house at the origination date, while Alt-A underwriting implies a prime borrower who has limited income documentation and/or a loan-to-value ratio of higher than 80%, among other factors. We do not hold any collateralized debt obligations. All MBS and ABS were rated AAA at the date of purchase.

Table of Contents

The following table provides information about the characteristics of the collateral underlying our private-label RMBS and ABS. The weighted average FICO® scores and loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio are based on the current outstanding loan balance using the original FICO® scores and LTV ratio for borrowers who still have loans outstanding. FICO® is a widely used credit industry model developed by Fair, Isaac and Company, Inc. to assess borrower credit quality with scores ranging from 300-850. The weighted average LTV ratio is based on the value at origination. The current credit support reflects the ability of subordinated classes to absorb lost principal and corresponding interest shortfalls before senior classes are impacted. The current credit support does not fully reflect the credit protection in our private-label MBS and ABS holdings as prioritization in the timing of cash flows receipts and credit event triggers accelerate the return of our investment before losses can no longer be absorbed by subordinate classes.

MPP. We are exposed to credit risk on loans purchased from members through the MPP. Loans purchased from one former member, Bank of America NA, contributed interest income that exceeded 10% of our total interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Total mortgage loans outstanding as of March 31, 2009, purchased from Bank of America NA were $3.4 billion or 40.0% of total mortgage loans outstanding, at par. The amount of imputed interest income earned during the three months ended March 31, 2009, from mortgage loans purchased from Bank of America NA was $45.7 million or 12.7% of total interest income.

All loans we purchase must meet guidelines for our MPP or be specifically approved as an exception based on compensating factors. Our guidelines are also accepted by our approved SMI providers and generally meet the underwriting standards of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. For example, the maximum loan-to-value for any mortgage loan purchased is 95%, and the borrowers must meet certain minimum credit scores depending upon the type of property or loan.

FHA loans comprise 8.0% of our outstanding MPP loans. These loans are backed by the FHA and generally are 100% United States government-insured; therefore, we do not require either LRA or SMI coverage for these loans.

Our primary management of credit risk in MPP involves the mortgage assets themselves (i.e., homeowners’ equity) and additional layers of credit enhancements for our conventional loans. Credit enhancements include (in order of priority):

 

   

Primary mortgage insurance (when applicable mortgages with loan-to-value ratios greater than 80% at the time of purchase);

 

   

LRA as described below (for conventional loans); and

 

   

SMI (as applicable) purchased by the seller (for conventional loans) from a third party provider naming us as the beneficiary.

If all credit enhancements are depleted, we will incur a loss.

For conventional loans, primary mortgage insurance, if applicable, covers losses or exposure down to approximately a loan-to-value ratio of between 65% and 80% based upon the original appraisal, original loan-to-value ratio, term, amount of primary mortgage insurance coverage, and characteristics of the loan.

In the MPP, we establish an LRA for each conventional pool of loans purchased that is funded over time from the monthly interest payments on the mortgages in that pool, and is recorded as an increase to Other Liabilities in the Statements of Condition. These funds are available to cover losses in excess of the borrower’s equity and primary mortgage insurance, if any, on the conventional loans we have purchased.

 

78


Table of Contents

Generally, after five years, if the balance of the funds in the LRA exceeds the required balance, the excess amounts are distributed to the seller as set forth in the master commitment contract that establishes the LRA. Once an MPP pool has been outstanding for more than 11 years, a balance is not required to be maintained in the LRA with respect to that pool.

We use an NRSRO credit risk model to assign the LRA percentage to each master commitment and to manage the credit risk of committed and purchased conventional loans. This model evaluates the characteristics of the loans our sellers commit to deliver and the loans actually delivered to us for the likelihood of timely payment of principal and interest. The NRSRO model results are based on numerous standard borrower and loan attributes, such as loan-to-value ratio, loan purpose (purchase of home, refinance, or cash-out refinance), type of documentation, income and debt expense ratios, and credit scores.

If a credit loss occurs, the accumulated LRA is used to cover the credit loss in excess of equity and primary mortgage insurance. SMI provides limited additional coverage over and above losses covered by the LRA.

The following table presents changes in the LRA for the periods ended March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008 ($ amounts in thousands):

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

(2) The monthly delinquency information reported is provided by the servicer through the master servicer one month after the actual mortgage loan balance activity.

 

(3) Foreclosures include loans past due 180 days or more and still accruing interest.

Interest on MPP is advanced by the servicer based upon scheduled principal and interest payments and, therefore, will not reflect the actual shortfall associated with non-accruing loans. Under this arrangement, our servicers remit payments to us as scheduled whether or not payment is received from the borrower (known as scheduled/scheduled servicing agreements). Under actual/actual servicing agreements, the servicers remit payments only as they are received from the borrowers.

We place all conventional loans on non-accrual status when, using current information and events, we determine we will be unable to collect all principal and interest contractually due under the loan agreement. Loans remain on non-accrual status until the past-due status has been remedied. As of March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, we had no loans on non-accrual status. An FHA loan is not placed on non-accrual status when the collection of the contractual principal or interest is 90 days or more past due because of the United States government guarantee of the loan and the contractual obligation of the loan servicer for loans serviced on a scheduled/scheduled basis.

The MPP mortgage loans held for portfolio are currently dispersed across all fifty states, the District of Columbia, and the United States Virgin Islands. No single zip code represented more than 1% of MPP loans outstanding at March 31, 2009, or December 31, 2008. It is likely that the concentration of MPP loans in our district states of Indiana and Michigan will increase in the future due to the loss of our three largest sellers that were our greatest sources of nationwide mortgages. See “The Economy and the Financial Services Industry” herein for more information on unemployment and foreclosure rates in Indiana and Michigan. The median outstanding balance of an MPP loan was approximately $137,000 at March 31, 2009, and $138,000 at December 31, 2008.

(1) Foreclosures include loans past due 180 days or more and still accruing interest.

The 90-day delinquency ratio for conventional mortgages increased from 0.31% to 0.46%, and the percentage of conventional mortgages in foreclosure increased from 0.45% to 0.55% from December 31, 2008, to March 31, 2009. We expect the continued decline in the general economic conditions in the United States and, in particular, Indiana and Michigan, to result in further increases in the delinquencies in our portfolio. The conventional delinquency ratios are below the national average for conforming, fixed-rate mortgages.

For government-insured (FHA) mortgages, the delinquency rate is generally higher than for the conventional mortgages held in our portfolio. We rely on government insurance, which generally provides a 100% guarantee, as well as quality control processes, to maintain the credit quality of this portfolio. The 90-day delinquency ratio for FHA mortgages has increased from 3.10% to 3.73%, and the percentage of FHA loans in foreclosure increased from 3.02% to 3.41% during the first three months of 2009. This is due to the credit factors described above. Also, we have not purchased any FHA loans since August 2006.

Based on our analysis, and after consideration of LRA, SMI, and other credit enhancements, there was no allowance for credit losses on real estate mortgage loans at March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008. Although we have had no loan charge-offs in 2008 or the first three months of 2009, our policy is to charge-off a loan against our loan loss reserve when, after foreclosure, the liquidation value of the real estate collateral plus credit enhancements does not cover our mortgage loan balance outstanding, or when an estimated or known loss exists. A loss contingency will be recorded when, in management’s judgment, it is probable that impairment has occurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Probable impairment is defined as the point at which we estimate, using current information and events, that we will be unable to collect all principal and interest contractually due. For the four months ended April 30, 2009, we had losses of $81,000 on the MPP portfolio. While it is possible that we could experience losses in the future, the allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans acquired under MPP was $0 as of March 31, 2009.

We are exposed to credit risk if a primary mortgage insurance provider fails to fulfill its claims payment obligations to us. As of March 31, 2009, we were the beneficiary of primary mortgage insurance coverage on $0.9 billion of conventional mortgage loans. We have analyzed our potential loss exposure to all of the mortgage insurance companies and do not expect incremental losses due to the decline in mortgage insurance company ratings. This expectation is based on the credit-enhancement features of our master

In addition to the LRAs, we have credit protection from loss on each loan, where eligible, through SMI, which provides sufficient insurance to cover credit losses to approximately 50% of the property’s original value (subject, in certain cases, to an aggregate stop-loss provision in the SMI policy). In the first quarter of 2005, we negotiated to obtain an aggregate loss/benefit limit or “stop-loss” on any master commitment contracts that equal or exceed $35,000,000. The stop-loss is equal to the total initial principal balance of loans under the master commitment contract multiplied by the stop-loss percentage, as is then in effect, and represents the maximum aggregate amount payable by the SMI provider under the SMI policy for that pool. Even with the stop-loss provision, the aggregate of the LRA and the amount payable by the SMI provider under an SMI stop-loss contract will be equal to or greater than the amount of credit enhancement required for the pool to have an implied S&P credit rating of at least AA at the time of purchase. Non-credit losses, such as uninsured property damage losses which are not covered by the SMI, can be recovered from the LRA to the extent that there has been no credit loss claim on those LRA funds. We will absorb losses beyond that level. Taken together, the LRA and the SMI provide credit enhancement on the pools of loans we purchase. Cost of credit enhancements for the three months ended March 31, 2009, and 2008, are presented below:

As of March 31, 2009, we were the beneficiary of SMI coverage on mortgage pools with a total unpaid principal balance of $7.7 billion. Two mortgage insurance companies provide all of the coverage under these policies.

Finance Agency regulations require us to use SMI providers that are rated at least AA-. The loans purchased are credit-enhanced to achieve an implied rating at an investment grade level based upon an NRSRO model approved by the Finance Agency. If there is evidence of a decline in the credit quality of a mortgage pool, the regulations require us to re-evaluate the covered mortgage pools for deterioration in credit quality and to allocate risk based capital to cover any potential credit quality issues. During the third quarter of 2008, we used a model to evaluate the entire MPP portfolio due to the downgrade of one of our SMI providers subsequent to the purchase of the loans. This credit quality review was not limited to the downgrade of the SMI providers, but included factors such as home price changes. As of March 31, 2009, we are holding the required amount of risk-based capital allocated to MPP within required minimum standards. We continue to have discussions with the Finance Agency and the SMI providers concerning this ratings issue, but we are unable to predict what the final resolution will be.

Derivatives. A significant risk posed by derivative transactions is credit risk, i.e., the risk that a counterparty will fail to meet its contractual obligations on a transaction, forcing us to replace the derivative at market prices. The notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements does not measure our true credit risk exposure. Rather, when the net fair value of our interest rate exchange agreements with a counterparty is positive, this generally indicates that the counterparty owes us. When the net fair value of the interest rate exchange agreements is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, we have no credit risk. If a counterparty fails to perform, credit risk is approximately equal to the fair value gain, if any, on the interest rate exchange agreement.

The following tables summarize key information on derivative counterparties and provide information on a trade date basis as of March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk that the market value or estimated fair value of our 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. The goal of market risk management is to preserve our financial strength at all times, including during periods of significant market volatility and across a wide range of possible interest rate changes. We regularly assess our exposure to changes in interest rates using a diverse set of analyses and measures. As appropriate, we may rebalance our portfolio to help attain risk management objectives.

Measuring Market Risks

We utilize multiple risk measurement methodologies to calculate potential market exposure that include measuring duration, duration gaps, convexity, value at risk, market risk metric (one-month value-at-risk “VAR”), earnings at risk and changes in market value of equity. Periodically, stress tests are conducted to measure and analyze the effects that extreme movements in the level of interest rates and the slope of the yield curve would have on our risk position.

Duration of Equity

Duration of equity is a measure of interest rate risk and a primary metric used to manage our market risk exposure. It is an estimate of the percentage change (expressed in years) in our market value of equity that could be caused by a one hundred basis point parallel upward or downward shift in the interest rate curves. We value our portfolios using two main interest rate curves, the LIBOR curve and the Consolidated Obligations curve. The market value and interest rate sensitivity of each asset, liability, and off balance sheet position is computed to determine our duration of equity. We calculate duration of equity using the interest rate curves as of the date of calculation and for scenarios where interest rate curves are 200 basis points higher or lower than the initial level. Our board determines acceptable ranges for duration of equity.

The following table summarizes the duration of equity levels for our total position:

Effective Duration of Equity Scenarios

 

     -200 bps(1)    0 bps    +200 bps

March 31, 2009

   n/a    -6.30 years    2.32 years

December 31, 2008

   n/a    0.57 years    4.22 years

 

(1) Due to the current low interest rate environment, the -200 bps scenario does not apply.

The decrease in the duration of equity was primarily due to decreases in mortgage interest rates. The duration of assets shortened relative to the duration of liabilities leading to a significant change in the duration of equity in the base case scenario. We were in compliance with the duration of equity limits established in the Risk Management Policy that was effective at both of the above points in time.

Duration Gap

The duration gap is the difference between the effective duration of total assets and the effective duration of total liabilities, adjusted for the effect of derivatives. A positive duration gap signals an exposure to rising interest rates because it indicates that the duration of assets exceeds the duration of liabilities. A negative duration gap signals an exposure to declining interest rates because the duration of assets is less than the duration of liabilities. The table below provides recent period-end duration gaps:

Duration Gap

 

March 31, 2009

   -2.9 months

December 31, 2008

   -0.2 months

 

87


Table of Contents

Convexity

Convexity measures how fast duration changes as a function of interest rate changes. Measurement of convexity is important because of the optionality embedded in the mortgage and callable debt portfolios. The mortgage portfolios exhibit negative convexity due to the embedded prepayment options. The negative convexity on the mortgage asset is mitigated by the negative convexity of underlying callable debt. Convexity is routinely reviewed by management and used in developing funding and hedging strategies for acquisition of mortgage-based assets. A primary strategy for managing convexity risk arising from our mortgage portfolio is the issuance of callable debt. At March 31, 2009, callable debt funding mortgage assets as a percentage of the net mortgage portfolio equaled 47.0%, compared to 49.1% at the end of 2008.

Market Risk-based Capital Requirement

We are subject to the Finance Agency’s risk-based capital regulations. This regulatory framework requires the maintenance of sufficient permanent capital to meet the combined credit risk, market risk, and operations risk requirements. Our permanent capital consists of Class B Stock (including Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock) and Retained Earnings. The market risk-based capital requirement (“MRBC”) is the sum of two components. The first component is the market value of the portfolio at risk from movements in interest rates that could occur during times of market stress. This estimation is accomplished through an internal value-at-risk based modeling approach which was approved by the Finance Board (predecessor to the Finance Agency) before the implementation of our Capital Plan. The second component is the amount, if any, by which the current market value of Total Capital is less than 85% of the book value of Total Capital.

MRBC is primarily based upon historical simulation methodology. The estimation incorporates scenarios that reflect interest rate shifts, interest rate volatility, and changes in the shape of the yield curve. These observations are based on historical information from 1978 to the present. In our application, MRBC is defined as the potential dollar loss from adverse market movements, measured over 120-business day time periods, with a 99.0% confidence interval, based on these historical prices and market rates. MRBC estimates as of March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, are presented below:

Changes in Market Value of Equity between the Base Case and Shift Scenarios

We measure potential changes in the market value of equity based on the current month-end level of rates versus the market value of equity under large parallel rate shifts. This measurement provides information related to the sensitivity of our interest rate position:

Change in Market Value of Equity from Base Rates

 

     -200 bps(1)    +200 bps  

March 31, 2009

   n/a    -4.1 %

December 31, 2008

   n/a    -9.5 %

 

(1) Due to the current low interest rate environment, the -200 bps scenario does not apply.

Use of Derivative Hedges

We make use of derivatives in hedging our market risk exposures. The primary type of derivative used is interest rate exchange agreements or swaps. Interest rate swaps increase the flexibility of our funding alternatives by providing specific cash flows or characteristics that might not be as readily available or

cost-effective if obtained in the cash debt market. We also use TBAs to temporarily hedge mortgage positions. We do not speculate using derivatives and do not engage in derivatives trading. Additional information about our primary hedging activities using interest rate swaps can be found in our 2008 Form 10-K.

The volume of derivative hedges is often expressed in terms of notional principal, which is the amount upon which interest payments are calculated. The following table highlights the notional amounts by type of derivative agreement as of March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008:

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (“DCP”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is: (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (b) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating our DCP, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and that our management’s duties require it to make its best judgment regarding the design of our DCP. As of March 31, 2009, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision (and with the participation) of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer), and our Chief Financial Officer and our Controller (our two principal financial officers), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our DCP pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on their evaluations, we concluded that our DCP were effective as of March 31, 2009.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There has been a significant change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As described in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments,” in accordance with the Finance Agency’s OTTI consistency guidance, we are required to use the key modeling assumptions provided by the FHLB of San Francisco and the FHLB of Chicago for the cash flow analyses of our private-label MBS in our determination of OTTI for such MBS. Such assumptions are material to the determination of OTTI and, in turn, material to our internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, our management has utilized the assumptions provided by the FHLB of San Francisco, as well as the assumptions developed by the FHLB of Chicago for subprime private-label MBS, in the cash flow analyses used in analyzing credit losses and determining OTTI. Based on this review, management has concluded that this change did not diminish our internal control over financial reporting. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
