Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements in this Form 10-Q, including statements describing our objectives, projections, estimates or predictions, may be considered to be "forward-looking statements." These statements may use forward-looking terminology, such as "anticipates," "believes," "could," "estimates," "may," "should," "expects," "will," or their negatives or other variations on these terms. We caution that, by their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk or uncertainty and that actual results either could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements or could affect the extent to which a particular objective, projection, estimate, or prediction is realized. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the following:

economic and market conditions, including the timing and volume of market activity, inflation or deflation, changes in the value of global currencies, and changes in the financial condition of market participants;
volatility of market prices, interest rates, and indices or other factors, resulting from the effects of, and changes in, various monetary or fiscal policies and regulations, including those determined by the FRB and the FDIC, or a decline in liquidity in the financial markets, that could affect the value of investments or collateral we hold as security for the obligations of our members and counterparties;
changes in demand for our advances and purchases of mortgage loans resulting from:
changes in our members' deposit flows and credit demands;
federal or state regulatory developments impacting suitability or eligibility of membership classes;
membership changes, including, but not limited to, mergers, acquisitions and consolidations of charters;
changes in the general level of housing activity in the United States and particularly our district states of Michigan and Indiana, the level of refinancing activity and consumer product preferences; and
competitive forces, including, without limitation, other sources of funding available to our members;
changes in mortgage asset prepayment patterns, delinquency rates and housing values or improper or inadequate mortgage originations and mortgage servicing;
ability to introduce and successfully manage new products and services, including new types of collateral securing advances;
political events, including federal government shutdowns, administrative, legislative, regulatory, or other developments, and judicial rulings that affect us, our status as a secured creditor, our members (or certain classes of members), prospective members, counterparties, GSEs generally, one or more of the FHLBanks and/or investors in the consolidated obligations of the FHLBanks;
ability to access the capital markets and raise capital market funding on acceptable terms;
changes in our credit ratings or the credit ratings of the other FHLBanks and the FHLBank System;
changes in the level of government guarantees provided to other United States and international financial institutions;
dealer commitment to supporting the issuance of our consolidated obligations;
ability of one or more of the FHLBanks to repay its portion of the consolidated obligations, or otherwise meet its financial obligations;
ability to attract and retain skilled personnel;
ability to develop, implement and support technology and information systems sufficient to manage our business effectively;
nonperformance of counterparties to uncleared and cleared derivative transactions;
changes in terms of derivative agreements and similar agreements;
loss arising from natural disasters, acts of war or acts of terrorism;
changes in or differing interpretations of accounting guidance; and
other risk factors identified in our filings with the SEC.

Although we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, additional disclosures may be made through reports filed with the SEC in the future, including our Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K.

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


Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us," "our," and "Bank" refer to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis or its management. We use acronyms and terms throughout these Notes to Financial Statements that are defined herein or in the Glossary of Terms.

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and SEC requirements for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain disclosures that would have substantially duplicated the disclosures in the financial statements, and notes thereto, included in our 2018 Form 10-K have been omitted unless the information contained in those disclosures materially changed. Therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements, and notes thereto, included in our 2018 Form 10-K.

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

Our significant accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in our 2018 Form 10-K in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. See Note 2 - Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Guidance for the changes effective January 1, 2019.

Use of Estimates. When preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we are required to make subjective assumptions and estimates that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expense. The most significant estimates pertain to derivatives and hedging activities, fair value and provision for credit losses. Although the reported amounts and disclosures reflect our best estimates, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Note 2 - Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

Leases (ASU 2016-02). On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires a lessee, in an operating or finance lease, to recognize on the statement of condition a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. However, for a lease with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize a lease asset and lease liability. Under previous guidance, a lessee was not required to recognize a lease asset and lease liability arising from an operating lease on the statement of condition. While this guidance does not fundamentally change lessor accounting, some changes have been made to align that guidance with the lessee guidance and other areas within GAAP.

This guidance was effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019. Upon adoption, we reported higher assets and liabilities as a result of including right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the statement of condition, but its effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows was not material.

Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (ASU 2017-08). On March 30, 2017, the FASB issued guidance to shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities purchased at a premium. Specifically, the guidance requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. No change is required for securities purchased at a discount, which continue to be amortized to their contractual maturities.

This guidance was effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.





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


Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (ASU 2017-12). On August 28, 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. This guidance requires that, for fair-value hedges, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness be presented in the same income statement line that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item.

This guidance was effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on our financial condition, net income, or cash flows. However, the adoption resulted in a prospective change in the statement of income in which the net losses resulting from the changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments and the changes in the fair value of the associated hedged items attributable to the hedged risk for qualifying fair-value hedging relationships for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 of $8,575 and $22,451, respectively, are presented in interest income instead of other income.

Inclusion of SOFR OIS Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (ASU 2018-16). On October 25, 2018, to facilitate the LIBOR to SOFR transition, the FASB issued guidance permitting the use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as an eligible U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes.

This guidance was effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019, concurrent with the adoption of ASU 2017-12. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Realized Gains and Losses. There were no sales of AFS securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, we had no intention of selling any AFS securities in an unrealized loss position nor did we consider it more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before our anticipated recovery of each security's remaining amortized cost basis.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, for strategic, economic and operational reasons, we sold all of our AFS and HTM investments in private-label RMBS and ABS. Of the OTTI AFS securities sold in 2018, none were in an unrealized loss position. Proceeds from the AFS sales totaled $203,841, resulting in realized gains of $32,407 determined by the specific identification method.

Realized Gains and Losses. There were no sales of HTM securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, we had no intention of selling any HTM securities in an unrealized loss position nor did we consider it more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before our anticipated recovery of each security's remaining amortized cost basis.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, for strategic, economic and operational reasons, we sold all of our AFS and HTM investments in private-label RMBS and ABS. The amortized cost of the HTM securities sold totaled $41,271. Proceeds from the HTM sales totaled $41,226, resulting in realized losses of $45 determined by the specific identification method. For each of these HTM securities, we had previously collected at least 85% of the principal outstanding at the time of acquisition due to prepayments or scheduled payments over the term. As such, the sales were considered maturities for purposes of security classification.

Evaluation Process and Results - AFS and HTM Securities.

Other U.S. and GSE Obligations and TVA Debentures. For other U.S. obligations, GSE obligations, and TVA debentures, we determined that, based on current expectations, the strength of the issuers' guarantees through direct obligations of or support from the United States government is sufficient to protect us from any losses. As a result, all of the gross unrealized losses as of June 30, 2019 are considered temporary.

Credit Risk Exposure and Security Terms. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our top five borrowers held 42% and 40%, respectively, of total advances outstanding, at par. As security for the advances to these and our other borrowers, we held, or had access to, collateral with an estimated fair value at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 that was well in excess of the advances outstanding on those dates, respectively. For information related to our credit risk on advances and allowance methodology for credit losses, see Note 7 - Allowance for Credit Losses in our 2018 Form 10-K.

(1) 
The recorded investment in a loan is the UPB of the loan, adjusted for accrued interest, net of any deferred loan fees or costs, unamortized premiums or discounts (which may include the basis adjustment related to any gain or loss on a delivery commitment prior to being funded) and direct charge-offs. The recorded investment is not net of any valuation allowance.
(2) 
Includes loans for which the decision of foreclosure or similar alternative, such as pursuit of deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, has been reported. Loans in process of foreclosure are included in past due categories depending on their delinquency status, but are not necessarily considered to be on non-accrual status.
(3) 
Represents loans 90 days or more past due (including loans in process of foreclosure) expressed as a percentage of the total recorded investment in mortgage loans. The percentage excludes principal and interest amounts previously paid in full by the servicers on conventional loans that are pending resolution of potential loss claims. Our servicers repurchase seriously delinquent government loans, including FHA loans, when certain criteria are met.
(4) 
Although our past due scheduled/scheduled MPP loans are classified as loans past due 90 days or more based on the loan's delinquency status, we do not consider these loans to be on non-accrual status.

However, the MPP allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 includes $9 and $16, respectively, for these potential claims.

Note 7 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities

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

Uncleared Derivatives. For certain of our uncleared derivatives, we have credit support agreements that contain provisions requiring us to post additional collateral with our counterparties if there is deterioration in our credit rating. If our credit rating is lowered by an NRSRO, we could be required to deliver additional collateral on uncleared derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate estimated fair value of all uncleared derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position (before cash collateral and related accrued interest on cash collateral) at June 30, 2019 was $660, for which we have posted collateral in cash, including accrued interest, of $996 in the normal course of business. If our credit rating had been lowered by an NRSRO (from an S&P equivalent of AA+ to AA), we would not have been required to deliver additional collateral to our uncleared derivative counterparties at June 30, 2019.

Cleared Derivatives. The clearinghouse determines margin requirements which are generally not based on credit ratings. However, clearing agents may require additional margin to be posted by us based on credit considerations, including but not limited to any credit rating downgrades. At June 30, 2019, we were not required by our clearing agents to post any additional margin.

Legal Proceedings. We are subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. We record an accrual for a loss contingency when it is probable that a loss for which we could be liable has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. After consultation with legal counsel, management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of these proceedings could have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Additional discussion of other commitments and contingencies is provided in Note 4 - Advances; Note 5 - Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio; Note 7 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities; Note 8 - Consolidated Obligations; Note 10 - Capital; and Note 13 - Estimated Fair Values.

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

Presentation 

This discussion and analysis by management of the Bank's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our 2018 Form 10-K and the interim Financial Statements and related Notes to Financial Statements contained in Item 1. Financial Statements.

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

Executive Summary
 
Overview. We are a regional wholesale bank that serves as a financial intermediary between the capital markets and our members. We primarily make secured loans in the form of advances to our members and purchase whole mortgage loans from our members. Additionally, we purchase other investments and provide other financial services to our members. As an FHLBank, we are generally designed to expand and contract in asset size as the needs of our members and their communities change over time.

Our principal source of funding is the proceeds from the sale to the public of FHLBank debt instruments, called consolidated obligations, which are the joint and several obligation of all FHLBanks. We obtain additional funds from deposits, other borrowings, and the issuance of capital stock to our members.

Our primary source of revenue is interest earned on advances, mortgage loans, and long- and short-term investments.
 
Our net interest income is primarily determined by the spread between the interest rate earned on our assets and the interest rate paid on our share of consolidated obligations. We use funding and hedging strategies to manage the related interest-rate risk.

Due to our cooperative structure and wholesale nature, we typically earn a narrow interest spread. Accordingly, our net income is relatively low compared to our total assets and capital.

We group our products and services within two operating segments: traditional and mortgage loans.

Economic Environment. The Bank’s financial performance is influenced by a number of regional and national economic and market factors, including the level and volatility of market interest rates, inflation or deflation, monetary policies, and the strength of housing markets.

The U.S. economy continued to grow through the second quarter of 2019. The duration of the current economic expansion remains at a record length. During the second quarter, the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for first quarter 2019 was revised down to an annualized 3.1% from 3.2% in the initial estimate. This compares to an increase of 2.2% in the fourth quarter of 2018. According to the Department of Commerce, GDP rose in the first quarter as a result of increases from exports, personal consumption expenditures, non-residential fixed investment, private inventory investment, and state and local government spending. A preliminary release of GDP for the second quarter of 2019 is 2.1%.

Yields on U.S. Treasuries decreased during the second quarter of 2019 relative to the prevailing yields at the end of the first quarter. Over the course of 2019, certain maturity ranges in the U.S. Treasury yield curve were inverted, meaning the shorter-term bond yields exceeded the longer-term bond yields. This market condition has often been a precursor to slowing economic growth and is one of many leading economic indicators that are often used by economists in economic forecasting. At its meeting in July 2019, the FOMC announced its decision to lower the federal funds target rate by 25 bps to a range of 2.0% to 2.25%, noting that continued expansion of economic activity, strong labor market conditions, and inflation around 2% are the most likely outcomes, but uncertainties about this outlook remain.





Labor markets remained very strong, with unemployment rates near record lows. The long-time lack of wage growth accompanying low unemployment levels appears to be dissipating, as wage inflation begins to take root. Regardless of the causes, low unemployment and wage growth characteristically lead to higher consumer confidence and spending, helping to perpetuate economic growth. The national unemployment rate in 2019 has remained in the 3%-4% range, with the latest reported rate of 3.7% in June 2019.

Led by accommodative monetary and fiscal policy, low interest rates, and strong consumer demand, global economic growth and corporate earnings remained solid. Both the manufacturing and service sectors have continued to expand domestically. Tempering the strong economic reports of prior months is the potential of a continued and expanded global trade war, tight labor markets and other supply costs and constraints, and the repricing of assets and debt. According to the Institute for Supply Management® (ISM®) Manufacturing Business Survey Committee, respondents "...expressed concern about U.S.-China trade turbulence, potential Mexico trade actions and the global economy. Overall, sentiment this month is evenly mixed."

The housing market remained positive, but higher home prices have begun to impact overall sales despite the strength in the overall economy. The Mortgage Bankers Association expects housing demand to remain strong, combined with wage growth and home price growth moderation, leading to favorable housing conditions. Home mortgage refinance applications hit an all-time high in early 2019 for borrowers with large balances.

Impact on Operating Results. Market interest rates and trends affect yields and margins on earning assets, including advances, purchased mortgage loans, and our investment portfolio, which contribute to our overall profitability. Additionally, market interest rates drive mortgage origination and prepayment activity, which can lead to both favorable and unfavorable net interest margin volatility in our MPP and MBS portfolios. A flat or inverted yield curve, in which the difference between short-term interest rates and long-term interest rates is low, or negative, respectively, can have an unfavorable impact on our net interest margins.

Lending and investing activity by our member institutions is a key driver for our balance sheet and income growth. Such activity is a function of both prevailing interest rates and economic activity, including local economic factors, particularly relating to the housing and mortgage markets. Positive economic trends could drive interest rates higher, which could impair growth of the mortgage market. A less active mortgage market could affect demand for advances and activity levels in our Advantage MPP. However, borrowing patterns between our insurance company and depository members tend to differ during various economic and market conditions, thereby easing the potential magnitude of core business fluctuations during business cycles. Member demand for liquidity during stressed market conditions can lead to advances growth.

The decrease in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was substantially due to the non-recurring net realized gain in the second quarter of 2018 on the sale of all of the Bank's private-label MBS. The decrease in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily due to the non-recurring net realized gain in 2018 on the sale of all of the Bank's private-label MBS and net losses resulting from derivatives and hedging activities. In general, we hold the derivatives and associated hedged items to the maturity, call, or put date. As a result, we expect to recover nearly all of the net losses on these financial instruments over the remaining contractual terms of the hedged items.

The increase in total assets at June 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 was primarily driven by additions to our liquidity portfolio.

The increase in total liabilities at June 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 was attributable to a net increase in consolidated obligations to support the Bank's growth in assets.

The increase in total capital at June 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 was primarily due to additional capital stock issued and net income, partially offset by dividends to shareholders.

Analysis of Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Net Interest Income. The decrease in net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 was primarily due to hedging losses resulting from derivatives in a fair-value relationship. In accordance with an amendment to accounting guidance effective January 1, 2019, hedging gains (losses) on qualifying fair- value hedging relationships are reported prospectively in net interest income instead of other income. As a result, net interest income after provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was reduced by $9 million and $22 million, respectively. In general, we hold the derivatives and associated hedged items to the maturity, call, or put date. As a result, we expect to recover nearly all of the net losses on these financial instruments over the remaining contractual terms of the hedged items.

(1) 
Annualized. 
(2) 
Consists of trading, AFS and HTM securities. The average balances of AFS securities are based on amortized cost; therefore, the resulting yields do not reflect changes in the estimated fair value that are a component of OCI. Interest income/expense includes the effects of associated derivative transactions.
(3) 
Interest income/expense and average yield include all other components of interest, including the impact of net interest payments or receipts on derivatives in qualifying hedge relationships, amortization of hedge accounting adjustments, and prepayment fees on advances.
(4) 
Consists of interest-bearing deposits and loans to other FHLBanks (if applicable). Includes the rights or obligations to cash collateral, except for variation margin payments characterized as daily settled contracts.
(5) 
Includes changes in the estimated fair value of AFS securities, grantor trust assets, and in 2018, the effect of OTTI-related non-credit losses on AFS and HTM securities.
(6)
Annualized net interest income expressed as a percentage of the average balance of interest-earning assets.

Yields. The average yield on total interest-earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was 2.77%, an increase of 36 bps compared to the corresponding period in 2018, resulting primarily from increases in market interest rates that led to higher yields on advances and investments. The average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities was 2.56%, an increase of 49 bps due to higher funding costs on consolidated obligations. The net effect was a decrease in the net interest spread of 13 bps to 0.21% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 0.34% for the corresponding period in 2018. Including the hedging losses from derivatives in a fair-value relationship prospectively in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 caused 10 bps of that net decrease.





The average yield on total interest-earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 2.79%, an increase of 53 bps compared to the corresponding period in 2018, resulting primarily from increases in market interest rates that led to higher yields on advances and investments. The average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities was 2.57%, an increase of 67 bps due to higher funding costs on consolidated obligations. The net effect was a decrease in the net interest spread of 14 bps to 0.22% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 0.36% for the corresponding period in 2018. Including the hedging losses from derivatives in a fair-value relationship prospectively in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 caused 7 bps of that net decrease.

Average Balances. The average balances outstanding of interest-earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased by 10% compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The average balance of short-term investments increased by 45% in light of new liquidity guidance from the Finance Agency. The average balance of investment securities increased by 23% due to purchases of trading securities to enhance liquidity and purchases of AFS securities. The average balance of mortgage loans held for portfolio increased by 7% due to strong demand by our members for Advantage MPP. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was due to an increase in consolidated obligations outstanding to fund the increases in the average balances of interest-earning assets.

The average balances outstanding of interest-earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased by 7% compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The average balance of short-term investments increased by 42% in light of new liquidity guidance from the Finance Agency. The average balance of investment securities increased by 16% due to purchases of trading securities to enhance liquidity and purchases of AFS securities. The average balance of mortgage loans held for portfolio increased by 8% due to strong demand by our members for Advantage MPP. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of advances of 3%, generally driven by member funding needs. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was due to an increase in consolidated obligations outstanding to fund the increases in the average balances of interest-earning assets.

Provision for Credit Losses. The change in the provision for (reversal of) credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 was insignificant.

The decrease in total other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 was substantially due to the non-recurring net realized gain in the second quarter of 2018 on the sale of all of the Bank's private-label MBS. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 3 - Investment Securities for more information. The net gains on trading securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were substantially offset by net losses on the associated derivatives.

Net Gains (Losses) on Trading Securities. In January 2019, the Bank began purchasing fixed-rate U.S. Treasury securities to enhance liquidity. Those securities are classified as trading securities and are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in other income. There are a number of factors that affect the fair value of these securities, including changes in interest rates, the passage of time, and volatility. These trading securities are being economically hedged, so that over time the gains (losses) on these securities will be generally offset by the change in fair value of the associated derivatives.





Net Gains (Losses) on Derivatives and Hedging Activities. In prior periods, for qualifying fair-value hedging relationships, the differences between the change in the estimated fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risk and the change in the estimated fair value of the associated interest-rate swaps, i.e., hedge ineffectiveness, were reported in other income. Beginning January 1, 2019, such differences are reported in net interest income. See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 2 - Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance for more information. As a result, the net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities reported in other income in 2019 substantially consist of gains (losses) on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments.

The table below presents the effect of derivatives and hedging activities that are reported in either net interest income or other income ($ amounts in millions).

Represents interest income/expense on derivatives. Excludes interest income/expense on associated hedged items.

The changes in fair value for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were primarily due to marginal mismatches in durations on, and the increase in volume of, swapped GSE MBS, particularly Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS) MBS. As a result of issuing floating rate notes to fund these MBS purchases instead of swapped fixed-rate notes, the funding and operational costs have been reduced but there is less offsetting hedge impact, resulting in higher hedging gains or losses.

However, since we generally hold derivatives and hedged items to the maturity, call or put date, we expect to recover nearly all of the net hedging losses on our financial instruments over the remaining contractual terms of the hedged items.

The increase in total other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018 was due to increases in compensation, primarily driven by salary increases and higher head count.





Total Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Total OCI for the three months ended June 30, 2019 primarily consisted of unrealized losses on AFS securities. Total OCI for the six months ended June 30, 2019 consisted substantially of unrealized gains on AFS securities. Total OCI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 consisted substantially of the reduction in AOCI as a result of the recognition of the gain on the sale of our private-label MBS.

Operating Segments
 
Our products and services are grouped within two operating segments: traditional and mortgage loans.
 
Traditional. The traditional segment consists of (i) credit products (including advances, letters of credit, and lines of credit), (ii) investments (including federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell, interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, and investment securities), and (iii) correspondent services and deposits. The following table presents the financial performance of our traditional segment ($ amounts in millions).

The decrease in net income for the traditional segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 was primarily due to the non-recurring net realized gain on the sale of all of the Bank's private-label MBS in 2018 and, for the six months, net losses resulting from derivatives and hedging activities. In general, we hold the derivatives and associated hedged items to the maturity, call, or put date. As a result, we expect to recover nearly all of the net losses on these financial instruments over the remaining contractual terms of the hedged items.

Mortgage Loans. The mortgage loans segment includes (i) mortgage loans purchased from our members through our MPP and (ii) participating interests purchased in 2012 - 2014 from the FHLBank of Topeka in mortgage loans originated by certain of its PFIs under the MPF Program.

Our advance portfolio is well-diversified with advances to commercial banks and savings institutions, credit unions, and insurance companies. Borrowing patterns between our insurance company and depository members tend to differ during various economic and market conditions, thereby easing the potential magnitude of core business fluctuations during business cycles.





Our advance portfolio includes fixed- and variable-rate advances, as well as callable or prepayable and putable advances. Prepayable advances may be prepaid on specified dates without incurring repayment or termination fees. All other advances may only be prepaid by the borrower paying a fee that is sufficient to make us financially indifferent to the prepayment of the advance.

The following table presents the par value of advances outstanding by product type and redemption term, some of which contain call or put options ($ amounts in millions).

The decrease in the UPB of mortgage loans held for portfolio was due to repayments of outstanding MPP and MPF Program loans exceeding purchases under Advantage MPP. Over time, the outstanding balance of mortgage loans purchased under our original MPP and the MPF Program will continue to decrease.

We have established and maintain an allowance for loan losses based on our best estimate of probable losses over the loss emergence period, which we have estimated to be 24 months. Our estimate of MPP losses remaining after borrower's equity, but before credit enhancements, was $5 million at June 30, 2019 and $4 million at December 31, 2018. After consideration of the portion recoverable under the associated credit enhancements, the resulting allowance for MPP loan losses was less than $1 million at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. For more information, see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 7 - Allowance for Credit Losses in our 2018 Form 10-K.

Cash and Short-Term Investments. Cash and short-term investments totaled $7.8 billion at June 30, 2019, an increase of 3% compared to December 31, 2018. Cash and short-term investments as a percent of total assets totaled 11% at June 30, 2019, compared to 12% at December 31, 2018.

Trading Securities. In January 2019, the Bank began purchasing U.S. Treasury securities as trading securities to enhance its liquidity in light of new liquidity guidance from the Finance Agency. Such securities totaled $3.2 billion at June 30, 2019, of which $1.7 billion is due in one year or less and $1.5 billion is due after one year through two years.

As a result, the liquidity portfolio at June 30, 2019 totaled $11.0 billion, which represented 16% of total assets and an increase of $3.4 billion, or 45%, from December 31, 2018. Additionally, the mix has changed, with U.S. Treasuries representing 29% of the liquidity portfolio at June 30, 2019.

Other Investment Securities. AFS securities totaled $8.4 billion at June 30, 2019, a net increase of 9% compared to $7.7 billion at December 31, 2018. The increase resulted from purchases of GSE MBS to maintain a ratio of MBS and ABS to total regulatory capital of up to 300%.

Net unrealized gains on AFS securities totaled $72 million at June 30, 2019, a net increase of $19 million compared to December 31, 2018, primarily due to changes in interest rates, credit spreads and volatility.

HTM securities totaled $5.1 billion at June 30, 2019, a net decrease of 10% compared to $5.7 billion at December 31, 2018. At June 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of our HTM securities totaled $5.1 billion, of which $2.5 billion was in an unrealized loss position, an increase of 4% from $2.4 billion at December 31, 2018, primarily due to changes in interest rates, credit spreads and volatility. The associated unrealized losses decreased from $16 million at December 31, 2018 to $13 million at June 30, 2019.

The mix of fixed- vs. variable-rate AFS and HTM securities at June 30, 2019 was slightly higher compared to December 31, 2018, primarily due to purchases of fixed-rate MBS. However, all of the fixed-rate AFS securities are swapped to effectively create variable-rate securities, consistent with our balance sheet strategies to manage interest-rate risk.





Total Liabilities. Total liabilities were $67.0 billion at June 30, 2019, a net increase of 7% compared to December 31, 2018, substantially due to an increase in consolidated obligations.

Deposits (Liabilities). Total deposits were $855 million at June 30, 2019, a net increase of 71% compared to December 31, 2018. These deposits represent a relatively small portion of our funding. The balances of these accounts can fluctuate from period to period and vary depending upon such factors as the attractiveness of our deposit pricing relative to the rates available on alternative money market instruments, members' preferences with respect to the maturity of their investments, and members' liquidity.

Consolidated Obligations. The carrying value of consolidated obligations outstanding at June 30, 2019 totaled $65.4 billion, a net increase of $4.2 billion, or 7%, from December 31, 2018. This increase supported the Bank's growth in assets.

The percentage due in 1 year or less increased from 64% at December 31, 2018 to 70% at June 30, 2019 as a result of seeking to maintain a sufficient liquidity and funding balance between our financial assets and financial liabilities. Additionally, the FHLBanks work collectively to manage FHLB System-wide liquidity and funding and jointly monitor System-wide refinancing risk. In managing and monitoring the amounts of assets that require refunding, the FHLBanks may consider contractual maturities of the financial assets, as well as certain assumptions regarding expected cash flows (i.e., estimated prepayments and scheduled amortizations). For more detailed information regarding contractual maturities of certain of our financial assets and liabilities, see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 3 - Investment Securities, Note 4 - Advances, and Note 8 - Consolidated Obligations.

Total Capital. Total capital at June 30, 2019 was $3.2 billion, a net increase of $148 million, or 5%, compared to December 31, 2018, primarily due to additional capital stock issued and net income, partially offset by dividends to shareholders.

Even though regulatory capital increased in 2019, the regulatory capital ratio declined from 4.86% at December 31, 2018 to 4.73% at June 30, 2019, primarily due to the significant increase in liquid assets which generate lower returns.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Liquidity. Our primary sources of liquidity are holdings of liquid assets, comprised of cash, short-term investments, and trading securities, as well as the issuance of consolidated obligations.

Our cash and short-term investments totaled $7.8 billion at June 30, 2019. Our short-term investments generally consist of high-quality financial instruments, many of which mature overnight. Our trading securities totaled $3.2 billion at June 30, 2019 and consisted solely of U.S. Treasury securities. As a result, our liquidity portfolio at June 30, 2019 totaled $11.0 billion or 16% of total assets.




During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we maintained sufficient access to funding; our net proceeds from the issuance of consolidated obligations totaled $164.9 billion. However, to protect us against temporary disruptions in access to the debt markets, the Finance Agency currently requires us to: (i) maintain contingent liquidity sufficient to cover, at a minimum, ten calendar days of inability to issue consolidated obligations; (ii) have available at all times an amount greater than or equal to our members' current deposits invested in specific assets; (iii) maintain, in the aggregate, unpledged qualifying assets in an amount at least equal to our participation in total consolidated obligations outstanding; and (iv) maintain, through short-term investments, an amount at least equal to our anticipated cash outflows under hypothetical adverse scenarios. For information concerning the Finance Agency’s liquidity guidance, see Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments - Legislative and Regulatory Developments - Advisory Bulletin in our 2018 Form 10-K.

Portions of the Finance Agency's liquidity guidance Advisory Bulletin relating to funding gap measures and the standby letters of credit component of the base case liquidity provisions have been implemented. Phased-in measures for the cash flow component of the base case liquidity provisions began on March 31, 2019 with full implementation planned as required by December 31, 2019.

New or amended regulatory guidance from the Finance Agency could continue to increase the amount and change the characteristics of liquidity that we are required to maintain. We have not identified any other trends, demands, commitments, or events that are likely to materially increase or decrease our liquidity.

Changes in Cash Flow. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $175 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $292 million. The decrease of $467 million was substantially due to the fluctuation in variation margin payments on cleared derivatives. Such payments are treated by the clearinghouses as daily settled contracts.

The increase in excess stock during the six months ended June 30, 2019 resulted from advance activity.

Capital Distributions. On July 25, 2019, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of 5.50% (annualized) on our Class B-1 capital stock and 4.40% (annualized) on our Class B-2 capital stock.

Adequacy of Capital. We must maintain sufficient permanent capital to meet the combined credit risk, market risk and operations risk components of the risk-based capital requirement. As presented in the following table, we were in compliance with the risk-based capital requirement at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 ($ amounts in millions).

The decrease in the total risk-based capital requirement was primarily caused by a decrease in the market risk component due to changes in the market environment, including interest rates, spreads and volatility. Our permanent capital at June 30, 2019 remained well in excess of our total risk-based capital requirement.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2019, principal previously paid in full by our MPP servicers totaling $1 million remains subject to potential claims by those servicers for any losses resulting from past or future liquidations of the underlying properties. An estimate of the losses is included in the MPP allowance for loan losses. For more information, see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 7 - Allowance for Credit Losses in our 2018 Form 10-K.
 
 
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
We determined that three of our accounting policies and estimates are critical because they require management to make particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These accounting policies pertain to:

Derivatives and hedging activities (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 7 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities for more detail);
Fair value estimates (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 13 - Estimated Fair Values for more detail); and
Provision for credit losses (see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 6 - Allowance for Credit Losses for more detail).

A full discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our 2018 Form 10-K. See below for additional information regarding certain of these policies.





Provision for Credit Losses.

Mortgage Loans Acquired under the MPP. Our allowance for loan losses incorporates our analysis of delinquent conventional MPP loans, using the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, further reduced by estimated liquidation costs.

As part of our loan loss analysis at December 31, 2018, we considered an adverse scenario whereby we used a haircut on our underlying collateral values of 20% for delinquent conventional loans, including individually evaluated loans. We consider such a haircut to represent the most distressed scenario that is reasonably possible to occur over the loss emergence period of 24 months. In this distressed scenario, while holding all other assumptions constant, our estimated incurred losses remaining after borrowers' equity, but before credit enhancements, would increase by approximately $2.2 million. However, such increase would be substantially offset by credit enhancements. Based upon subsequent changes in underlying collateral values, we would not expect this amount to have significantly changed at June 30, 2019. Therefore, the allowance for loan losses continues to be based upon our best estimate of the probable losses over the loss emergence period that would not be recovered from the credit enhancements.

Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments
 
Accounting Developments. For a description of how recent accounting developments may impact our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, see Notes to Financial Statements - Note 2 - Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments.

Finance Agency Advisory Bulletin 2019-01 - Business Resiliency Management. On May 7, 2019, the Finance Agency issued Advisory Bulletin 2019-01 on Business Resiliency Management for FHLBanks and other entities regulated by the FHFA ("Business Resiliency AB") that communicates the FHFA’s expectations with respect to minimizing the impact of disruptions in service from uncontrolled events and the maintenance of business operations at predefined levels. The Business Resiliency AB indicates that a business resiliency program should guide the regulated entity’s appropriate responses to disruptions affecting business operations, personnel, equipment, facilities, IT systems, and information assets. In addition, the Business Resiliency AB provides guidance on the elements of a safe and sound business resiliency program, which include governance, risk assessment and business impact analysis, risk mitigation and plan development, testing and analysis, and risk monitoring and program sustainability.

The Business Resiliency AB rescinds Federal Housing Finance Board Advisory Bulletin 2002-03 on disaster recovery planning. We do not expect the Business Resiliency AB to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

CFTC Staff Advisory on Initial Margin Documentation Requirements. On July 9, 2019, the CFTC issued a staff advisory ("Advisory") on Margin Requirements for Uncleared Swaps for Swap Dealers and Major Swap Participants ("Margin Rules"), to clarify that documentation governing the posting, collection, and custody of initial margin is not required to be completed until such time as the aggregate unmargined exposure to a counterparty (and its margin affiliates) exceeds a threshold of $50 million. Under the Margin Rules, covered swap entities and non-prudentially regulated swap dealers generally are required to post and collect initial margin with counterparties that are swap dealers or financial end users with material swap exposure. The Margin Rules, however, contain an initial margin threshold amount of $50 million between a covered swap entity (and its margin affiliates) on the one hand, and its counterparty (and its margin affiliates), on the other hand. The Advisory clarifies that no initial margin documentation is required until the amount of initial margin exchangeable between a covered swap entity (and its margin affiliates) and its counterparty (and its margin affiliates) exceeds that initial margin threshold amount. The Advisory does, however, instruct covered swap entities to closely monitor initial margin amounts if they are approaching the $50 million threshold with a counterparty and to take appropriate steps to ensure that required documentation is in place at such time as the threshold is reached. The Advisory confirms the September 1, 2020 compliance deadline for us under the Margin Rules. We are currently monitoring developments relating to the Margin Rules and our bilateral derivatives balances.





Risk Management

We have exposure to a number of risks in pursuing our business objectives. These risks may be broadly classified as market, credit, liquidity, operational, and business. Market risk is discussed in Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. See Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Management in our 2018 Form 10-K for more information.

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

Advances and Other Credit Products. New or renewed credit extensions to captive insurance companies that became members prior to September 12, 2014 are subject to certain regulatory restrictions relating to maturity dates and cannot exceed 40% of the member's total assets. As of June 30, 2019, one such captive insurance company member's total outstanding balance of credit products exceeded the percentage limit. Therefore, no new or renewed credit extensions have been extended to this member. We may impose additional restrictions on extensions of credit to our members, including captive insurance companies, at our discretion.

Concentration. Our credit risk is magnified due to the concentration of advances in a few borrowers. As of June 30, 2019, our top borrower held 12% of total advances outstanding, at par, and our top five borrowers held 42% of total advances outstanding, at par. As a result of this concentration, 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.

One such depository institution with an outstanding balance of advances at June 30, 2019 totaling $3.0 billion, or 9% of total advances outstanding, at par value, merged with a non-member depository institution effective August 1, 2019. Of these advances, $2.7 billion is scheduled to mature in 2019. We do not expect a material impact on our profitability as a result of the repayment of these advances.

Investments. We are also exposed to credit risk through our investment portfolios. Our policies restrict the acquisition of investments to high-quality, short-term money market instruments and high-quality long-term securities.

The following table presents the unsecured investment credit exposure to private counterparties, categorized by the domicile of the counterparty's ultimate parent, based on the lowest of the counterparty's NRSRO long-term credit ratings, stated in terms of the S&P equivalent. The table does not reflect the foreign sovereign government's credit rating ($ amounts in millions).

A Finance Agency regulation provides that the total amount of our investments in MBS and ABS, calculated using amortized historical cost, must not exceed 300% of our total regulatory capital, as of the day we purchase the securities, based on the capital amount most recently reported to the Finance Agency. At June 30, 2019 these investments totaled 277% of total regulatory capital. Generally, our goal is to maintain these investments near the 300% limit in order to enhance earnings and capital for our members and diversify our revenue stream.





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

Includes MDCs from member institutions under our MPP.

Replacement of the LIBOR Benchmark Interest Rate. In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA"), a regulator of financial services firms and financial markets in the UK, announced that it will plan for a phase-out of regulatory oversight of LIBOR interest rate indices. The FCA indicated that it will cease persuading or compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021, and that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed after 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee has proposed SOFR as its recommended alternative to LIBOR, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York began publishing SOFR rates in April 2018.

Most of our advances, investments, consolidated obligation bonds, derivative assets, derivative liabilities, and related collateral are indexed to LIBOR. Some of these assets and liabilities and related collateral have maturity dates that extend beyond 2021. As a result, we are evaluating the potential impact of the replacement of the LIBOR benchmark interest rate, including the possibility of SOFR as the dominant replacement on an ongoing basis. We have also developed an evolving transition plan that will change with market developments and member needs. The key components of our LIBOR replacement plan are: exposure, fallback language, information technology systems preparation, and balance sheet strategy. We have assessed our current exposure to LIBOR including completing an inventory of all financial instruments impacted and identifying financial instruments and contracts that may require adding or adjusting fallback language. We are assessing our operational readiness including potential effects on core Bank systems and replacing LIBOR references in policies and procedures. From a balance sheet management perspective, we have participated in the issuance of SOFR-indexed debt and suspended the issuance of LIBOR-indexed debt with maturities beyond 2021. Additionally, we have implemented OIS as an alternative interest rate hedging strategy for certain financial instruments.

See Item 1A. Risk Factors - Changes to or Replacement of the LIBOR Benchmark Interest Rate Could Adversely Affect Our Business, Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2018 Form 10-K for more information.





Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Measuring Market Risks
 
To evaluate market risk, we utilize multiple risk measurements, including duration of equity, duration gap, convexity, VaR, earnings at risk, and changes in MVE. Periodically, we conduct stress tests to measure and analyze the effects that extreme movements in the level of interest rates and the shape of the yield curve would have on our risk position.

As part of our overall interest-rate risk management process, we continue to evaluate strategies to manage interest-rate risk. Certain strategies, if implemented, could have an adverse impact on future earnings.
 
Market Risk-Based Capital Requirement. When calculating the risk-based capital requirement, the VaR comprising the first factor of the market risk component is defined as the potential dollar loss from adverse market movements, for a holding period of 120 business days, with a 99% confidence interval, based on those historical prices and market rates. The table below presents the VaR ($ amounts in millions).

Market Value of Equity. MVE represents the difference between the estimated market value of total assets and the estimated market value of total liabilities, including any off-balance sheet positions. It measures, in present value terms, the long-term economic value of current capital and the long-term level and volatility of net interest income.

We also monitor the sensitivities of MVE to potential interest-rate scenarios. We measure potential changes in the market value to book value of equity based on the current month-end level of rates versus large parallel shifts in rates. Our board of directors determines acceptable ranges for the change in MVE for 200 bps shock scenario.

Key Metrics. The following table presents certain market and interest-rate metrics under different interest-rate scenarios ($ amounts in millions).

Metrics previously presented have been revised.

The changes in these key metrics from December 31, 2018 resulted primarily from the change in market value of the assets and liabilities in response to changes in the market environment, changes in portfolio composition, and our hedging strategies.

Duration Gap. The base case duration gap was 0.12% and 0.09% at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed under the Exchange Act 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 officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As of June 30, 2019, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer), Chief Financial Officer (the principal financial officer) and Chief Accounting Officer (the principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2019.
 
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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

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

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the ordinary course of business, we may from time to time become a party to lawsuits involving various business matters. We are unaware of any lawsuits presently pending which, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
