The Bank’s significant accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The interim financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the Bank’s audited financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the Bank’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on March 22, 2018 (the “2017 10-K”). The notes to the interim financial statements update and/or highlight significant changes to the notes included in the 2017 10-K.

The Bank is one of 11 district Federal Home Loan Banks, each individually a “FHLBank” and collectively the “FHLBanks,” and, together with the Office of Finance, a joint office of the FHLBanks, the “FHLBank System.” The Office of Finance manages the sale and servicing of the FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (“Finance Agency”), an independent agency in the executive branch of the U.S. government, supervises and regulates the housing government-sponsored enterprises ("GSEs"), including the FHLBanks and the Office of Finance.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates. These assumptions and estimates may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. Significant estimates include the valuations of the Bank’s investment securities, as well as its derivative instruments and any associated hedged items. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

Revenue from Contracts with Customers. On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"), which outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. In addition, ASU 2014-09 amends the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of non-financial assets that are not in a contract with a customer. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of certain other standards, such as financial instruments, certain guarantees, insurance contracts, and lease contracts. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016 (January 1, 2017 for the Bank). Early application was not permitted. On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 "Deferral of Effective Date," which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. Earlier application was permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Bank adopted ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Bank's results of operations or financial condition.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. On January 5, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("ASU 2016-01"), which makes targeted improvements to existing U.S. GAAP by: (i) requiring certain equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings, (ii) simplifying the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values, (iii) requiring public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, (iv) requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the statement of condition or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements, (v) eliminating the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for organizations that are not public business entities, (vi) eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the statement of condition, (vii) requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) when the organization has

7

elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments, and (viii) clarifying that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity's other deferred tax assets. For public business entities, the guidance in ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption was permitted for certain provisions. The Bank adopted ASU 2016-01 effective January 1, 2018. In conjunction with the adoption of ASU 2016-01, the Bank reclassified $12,082,000 of marketable equity securities (which consist solely of mutual fund investments associated with the Bank's non-qualified deferred compensation plans) from trading securities to other assets on January 1, 2018. Other than this reclassification, the adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have any impact on the Bank's results of operations or financial condition.

Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15"), which clarifies the guidance for classifying certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is intended to reduce existing diversity in practice regarding eight specific cash flow presentation issues. For public business entities, the guidance in ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted. The guidance is to be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied as if the change was made prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Bank adopted ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the Bank's statement of cash flows, nor did it have any impact on the Bank's results of operations or financial condition.

Restricted Cash. On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Restricted Cash" ("ASU 2016-18"), which clarifies the guidance for classifying and presenting certain cash transfers, cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is intended to reduce existing diversity in practice regarding restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. For public business entities, the guidance in ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted. The guidance is to be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018 did not have any impact on the Bank's statement of cash flows, nor did it have any impact on the Bank's results of operations or financial condition.

Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. On March 10, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" ("ASU 2017-07"). ASU 2017-07 requires an employer to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost (net benefit cost). ASU 2017-07 requires an employer to report the service cost component in the same income statement line item as other compensation costs. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component. Further, ASU 2017-07 allows only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. For public business entities, the guidance in ASU 2017-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in ASU 2017-07 are to be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net benefit cost in assets. Subsequent to the adoption of ASU 2017-07 on January 1, 2018, the Bank continues to report the service cost component of its net periodic postretirement benefit cost in compensation and benefits expense. On and after January 1, 2018, the Bank reports the other components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost (which in aggregate were credits of $17,000 and $50,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively) in "other, net" in the other income (loss) section of the statement of income. Because the components of the Bank's net periodic postretirement benefit cost other than the service cost component were insignificant for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (see Note 14), such amounts were not reclassified and are reported in compensation and benefits expense for that period. The adoption of ASU 2017-07 did not have any impact on the Bank's financial condition.

Derivatives and Hedging. On August 28, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" ("ASU 2017-12"), which is intended 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. For cash flow hedges, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness must be recorded in other comprehensive income. In addition, the guidance provides for, but does not require, the use of a qualitative method of assessing hedge effectiveness. Among other things, the guidance also permits, but does not require, the following:

8

• For fair value hedges, measurement of the change in fair value of the hedged item on the basis of the benchmark rate component of the contractual coupon cash flows determined at hedge inception.

• Partial-term fair value hedges of interest-rate risk, in which it can be assumed that the hedged item has a term that reflects only the designated cash flows being hedged.

• For prepayable financial instruments, consideration only of how changes in the benchmark interest rate affect a decision to settle a debt instrument before its scheduled maturity in calculating the change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to interest rate risk.

• For a cash flow hedge of interest-rate risk of a variable-rate financial instrument, designation of the variability in cash flows attributable to the contractually specified interest rate as the hedged risk (when the contractually specified variable rate is not a benchmark rate).

• For a closed portfolio of prepayable financial assets or one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of prepayable financial instruments, designation of an amount that is not expected to be affected by prepayments, defaults and other events affecting the timing and amount of cash flows as a hedged item (commonly referred to as the "last-of-layer" method).

For public business entities, the guidance in ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (January 1, 2019 for the Bank), and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted. If an entity early adopts ASU 2017-12 in an interim period, any adjustments must be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. For cash flow hedges existing on the date of adoption, an entity is required to eliminate the separate measurement of ineffectiveness in earnings by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Among other things, an entity may elect at transition to modify the measurement methodology for hedged items in existing fair value hedges to the benchmark rate component of the contractual coupon cash flows. The cumulative effect of applying this election is recognized as an adjustment to the basis adjustment of the hedged item recognized on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively.

The Bank will adopt ASU 2017-12 effective January 1, 2019. At adoption, the Bank does not intend to modify any of its then existing fair value or cash flow hedging relationships. Because the Bank has not had any ineffectiveness associated with its cash flow hedges, it does not currently expect that a cumulative effect adjustment relating to such hedges will be required. ASU 2017-12 will prospectively affect the Bank’s income statement presentation for fair value hedge ineffectiveness and, consequently, will result in more variability in the Bank's net interest income and, correspondingly, its total net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities. This required change in presentation will not have any impact on the Bank's net income. For some of its fair value hedging relationships entered into after January 1, 2019, the Bank may elect to use the benchmark rate component of the coupon cash flows to measure the hedged item. Following adoption, the Bank does not expect to change the way in which it assesses the effectiveness of its hedging relationships. Finally, the Bank is continuing to assess other opportunities that are available under the new guidance including, but not limited to, the potential reclassification at adoption of certain debt securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale and the post adoption use of the last-of-layer method.

Fair Value Measurement Disclosures. On August 28, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement" ("ASU 2018-13"), which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in an effort to improve disclosure effectiveness. ASU 2018-13 removes or modifies certain existing disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements, including a clarification that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is intended to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. In addition to the limited removals and modifications, the guidance requires public business entities to disclose: (i) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and (ii) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements (together, the "new disclosure requirements").

The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (January 1, 2020 for the Bank). The new disclosure requirements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty are to be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted. In addition, an entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 will not have any impact on the Bank's results of operations or financial condition.

Defined Benefit Plan Disclosures. On August 28, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans" ("ASU 2018-14"), which modifies the disclosure requirements for

9

defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans in an effort to improve disclosure effectiveness. ASU 2018-14 removes specified disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarifies the specific requirements of certain other disclosures, and requires new disclosures regarding (i) the weighted-average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates and (ii) an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period.

For public business entities, ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2018-14 is expected to have a minimal impact on the Bank's disclosures and it will not have any impact on the Bank's results of operations or financial condition.

Implementation Costs Associated with Cloud Computing Arrangements. On August 29, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract" ("ASU 2018-15"), which clarifies the accounting for implementation costs associated with a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). ASU 2018-15 also addresses the term over which these capitalized implementation costs should be expensed. ASU 2018-15 does not affect the accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract.

For public business entities, ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (January 1, 2020 for the Bank). Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The guidance is to be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Bank's results of operations or financial condition.

Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate Overnight Index Swap Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate. On October 25, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, "Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes" ("ASU 2018-16"). ASU 2018-16 adds the OIS rate based on SOFR (a swap rate based on the underlying overnight SOFR rate) as an eligible benchmark interest rate for purposes of applying hedge accounting. SOFR is a volume-weighted median interest rate that is calculated daily based on overnight transactions from the prior day's trading activity in specified segments of the U.S. Treasury repo market. SOFR was selected by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee as its preferred alternative reference rate to LIBOR.

For entities that have not already adopted ASU 2017-12, the guidance in ASU 2018-16 is required to be adopted concurrently with the adoption of ASU 2017-12 (January 1, 2019 for the Bank). The guidance is to be applied prospectively to qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on and after the date of adoption.

At September 30, 2018, the gross unrealized losses on the Bank’s available-for-sale securities were $4,457,000. All of the Bank's available-for-sale securities are either guaranteed by the U.S. government, issued by GSEs, or fully secured by collateral that is guaranteed by the U.S government. As of September 30, 2018, the U.S. government and the issuers of the Bank’s holdings of GSE debentures and GSE MBS were rated triple-A by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) and Fitch Ratings, Ltd. (“Fitch”) and AA+ by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”). The Bank's holdings of PEFCO debentures are rated triple-A by Moody's and Fitch, and are not rated by S&P. Based upon the Bank's assessment of the creditworthiness of the issuers of the GSE debentures that were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2018 and the credit ratings assigned by each of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”), the Bank expects that these debentures would not be settled at an amount less than the Bank's amortized cost bases in the investments. In addition, based upon the Bank's assessment of the strength of the GSEs' guarantees of the Bank's holdings of GSE commercial MBS and the credit ratings assigned by each of the NRSROs, the Bank expects that its holdings of GSE commercial MBS that were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2018 would not be settled at an amount less than the Bank’s amortized cost bases in these investments. Because the current market value deficits associated with the Bank's available-for-sale securities are not attributable to credit quality, and because the Bank does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, the Bank does not consider any of these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2018.

Redemption Terms. The amortized cost and estimated fair value of available-for-sale securities by contractual maturity at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are presented below (in thousands).

Interest Rate Payment Terms. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, all of the Bank's available-for-sale securities were fixed rate securities which were swapped to a variable rate.

Sales of Securities. There were no sales of available-for-sale securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 or the three months ended September 30, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Bank sold available-for-sale securities with an amortized cost (determined by the specific identification method) of $248,425,000. Proceeds from the sales totaled $250,262,000, resulting in realized gains of $1,837,000.

At September 30, 2018, the gross unrealized losses on the Bank’s held-to-maturity securities were $2,474,000, of which $797,000 were attributable to its holdings of non-agency (i.e., private-label) residential MBS, $203,000 were attributable to securities that are issued and guaranteed by GSEs and $1,474,000 were attributable to a security issued by a state housing agency.

As of September 30, 2018, the U.S. government and the issuers of the Bank’s holdings of GSE MBS were rated triple-A by Moody’s and Fitch and AA+ by S&P. Based upon the credit ratings assigned by the NRSROs and the Bank's assessment of the strength of the GSEs’ guarantees of the Bank’s holdings of GSE MBS, the Bank expects that its holdings of GSE MBS that were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2018 would not be settled at an amount less than the Bank’s amortized cost bases in these investments. In addition, based upon the Bank's assessment of the creditworthiness of the state housing agency and the triple-A credit ratings assigned by Moody's and S&P, the Bank expects that the state housing agency debenture that was in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2018 would not be settled at an amount less than the Bank’s amortized cost basis in this investment. Because the current market value deficits associated with these securities are not attributable to credit quality, and because the Bank does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, the Bank does not consider any of these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2018.

The deterioration in the U.S. housing markets that occurred primarily during the period from 2007 through 2011, as reflected during that period by declines in the values of residential real estate and higher levels of delinquencies, defaults and losses on residential mortgages, including the mortgages underlying the Bank’s non-agency residential MBS (“RMBS”), generally increased the risk that the Bank may not ultimately recover the entire cost bases of some of its non-agency RMBS. However, based upon its analysis of the securities in this portfolio, the Bank believes that the unrealized losses as of

14

September 30, 2018 were principally the result of liquidity risk related discounts in the non-agency RMBS market and do not accurately reflect the currently likely future credit performance of the securities.

Because the ultimate receipt of contractual payments on the Bank’s non-agency RMBS will depend upon the credit and prepayment performance of the underlying loans and the credit enhancements for the senior securities owned by the Bank, the Bank closely monitors these investments in an effort to determine whether the credit enhancement associated with each security is sufficient to protect against potential losses of principal and interest on the underlying mortgage loans. The credit enhancement for each of the Bank’s non-agency RMBS is provided by a senior/subordinate structure, and none of the securities owned by the Bank are insured by third-party bond insurers. More specifically, each of the Bank’s non-agency RMBS represents a single security class within a securitization that has multiple classes of securities. Each security class has a distinct claim on the cash flows from the underlying mortgage loans, with the subordinate securities having a junior claim relative to the more senior securities. The Bank’s non-agency RMBS have a senior claim on the cash flows from the underlying mortgage loans.

To assess whether the entire amortized cost bases of its 22 non-agency RMBS holdings are likely to be recovered, the Bank performed a cash flow analysis for each security as of September 30, 2018 using two third-party models. The first model considers borrower characteristics and the particular attributes of the loans underlying the Bank’s securities, in conjunction with assumptions about future changes in home prices and interest rates, to project prepayments, defaults and loss severities. A significant input to the first model is the forecast of future housing price changes for the relevant states and core based statistical areas (“CBSAs”), which are based upon an assessment of the individual housing markets. (The term “CBSA” refers collectively to metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget; as currently defined, a CBSA must contain at least one urban area of 10,000 or more people.) The Bank’s housing price forecast as of September 30, 2018 assumed changes in home prices ranging from declines of 10 percent to increases of 15 percent over the 12-month period beginning July 1, 2018. For the vast majority of markets, the changes were projected to range from increases of 3 percent to 7 percent. Thereafter, home price changes for each market were projected to return (at varying rates and over varying transition periods based on historical housing price patterns) to their long-term historical equilibrium levels. Following these transition periods, the constant long-term annual rates of appreciation for the vast majority of markets were projected to range between 2 percent and 5 percent.

The month-by-month projections of future loan performance derived from the first model, which reflect projected prepayments, defaults and loss severities, are then input into a second model that allocates the projected loan level cash flows and losses to the various security classes in the securitization structure in accordance with its prescribed cash flow and loss allocation rules. In a securitization in which the credit enhancement for the senior securities is derived from the presence of subordinate securities, losses are generally allocated first to the subordinate securities until their principal balance is reduced to zero.

Based on the results of its cash flow analyses, the Bank determined it is likely that it will fully recover the remaining amortized cost bases of all of its non-agency RMBS. Because the Bank does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their remaining amortized cost bases, none of the Bank's non-agency RMBS were deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2018.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, one of the Bank's non-agency RMBS was determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired. In addition, 14 of the Bank's non-agency RMBS were determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired in periods prior to 2013.

The following table presents a rollforward for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 of the amount related to credit losses on the Bank’s non-agency RMBS holdings for which a portion of an other-than-temporary impairment was recognized in other comprehensive income (in thousands).

All of the Bank’s variable-rate collateralized mortgage obligations classified as held-to-maturity securities have coupon rates that are subject to interest rate caps, none of which were reached during 2017 or the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Sales of Securities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bank sold held-to-maturity securities with an amortized cost (determined by the specific identification method) of $41,498,000. Proceeds from the sale totaled $42,563,000, resulting in realized gains of $1,065,000. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Bank sold held-to-maturity securities with an amortized cost (determined by the specific identification method) of $59,763,000 and $158,806,000, respectively. Proceeds from these sales totaled $61,856,000 and $162,789,000, respectively, resulting in realized gains of $2,093,000 and $3,983,000, respectively. For each of these securities, the Bank had previously collected at least 85 percent of the principal outstanding at the time of acquisition. As such, the sales were considered maturities for purposes of security classification.

The Bank offers advances to members that may be prepaid on specified dates without the member incurring prepayment or termination fees (prepayable and callable advances). The prepayment of other advances requires the payment of a fee to the Bank (prepayment fee) if necessary to make the Bank financially indifferent to the prepayment of the advance. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank had aggregate prepayable and callable advances totaling $10,592,732,000 and $9,684,619,000, respectively.

The following table summarizes advances outstanding at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, by the earlier of contractual maturity or next call date, or the first date on which prepayable advances can be repaid without a prepayment fee (in thousands):

The Bank also offers putable advances. With a putable advance, the Bank purchases a put option from the member that allows the Bank to terminate the fixed-rate advance on specified dates and offer, subject to certain conditions, replacement funding at prevailing market rates. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank had putable advances outstanding totaling $2,641,100,000 and $1,113,500,000, respectively.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 21 percent and 19 percent, respectively, of the Bank’s fixed-rate advances were swapped to a variable rate.

Prepayment Fees. When a member/borrower prepays an advance, the Bank could suffer lower future income if the principal portion of the prepaid advance is reinvested in lower-yielding assets. To protect against this risk, the Bank generally charges a prepayment fee that makes it financially indifferent to a borrower’s decision to prepay an advance. The Bank records prepayment fees received from members/borrowers on prepaid advances net of any associated hedging adjustments on those advances. These fees are reflected as interest income in the statements of income either immediately (as prepayment fees on advances) or over time (as interest income on advances) as further described below. In cases in which the Bank funds a new advance concurrent with or within a short period of time before or after the prepayment of an existing advance and the advance meets the accounting criteria to qualify as a modification of the prepaid advance, the net prepayment fee on the prepaid advance is deferred, recorded in the basis of the modified advance, and amortized into interest income on advances over the life of the modified advance using the level-yield method. During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, gross advance prepayment fees received from members/borrowers were $29,000 and $712,000, respectively, of which $0 and $476,000, respectively, were deferred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, gross advance prepayment fees received from members/borrowers were $1,788,000 and $1,578,000, respectively, of which $0 and $695,000, respectively, were deferred.

The Bank also offers advances that include a symmetrical prepayment feature which allows a member to prepay an advance at the lower of par value or fair value plus a make-whole amount payable to the Bank. There were no prepayments of symmetrical prepayment advances during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, symmetrical prepayment advances with aggregate par values of $6,000,000 and $17,000,000, respectively, were prepaid. The differences by which the par values of these advances exceeded their fair values, less the make-whole amounts, totaled $4,000 and $194,000, respectively, and were recorded in prepayment fees on advances, net of the associated hedging adjustments on the advances.

________________________________________

*Medium-term is defined as an original term of 15 years or less.

The unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans held for portfolio at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was comprised of government-guaranteed/insured loans totaling $16,678,000 and $19,228,000, respectively, and conventional loans totaling $1,736,315,000 and $834,129,000, respectively.

Note 8—Allowance for Credit Losses

An allowance for credit losses is separately established for each of the Bank’s identified portfolio segments, if necessary, to provide for probable losses inherent in its financing receivables portfolio and other off-balance sheet credit exposures as of the balance sheet date. To the extent necessary, an allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures is recorded as a liability.

A portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses. The Bank has developed and documented a systematic methodology for determining an allowance for credit losses for the following portfolio segments: (1) advances and other extensions of credit to members/borrowers, collectively referred to as “extensions of credit to members”; (2) government-guaranteed/insured mortgage loans held for portfolio; and (3) conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio.

Classes of financing receivables are generally a disaggregation of a portfolio segment and are determined on the basis of their initial measurement attribute, the risk characteristics of the financing receivable and an entity’s method for monitoring and assessing credit risk. Because the credit risk arising from the Bank’s financing receivables is assessed and measured at the portfolio segment level, the Bank does not have separate classes of financing receivables within each of its portfolio segments.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no significant purchases or sales of financing receivables, nor were any financing receivables reclassified to held for sale.

As discussed below, the Bank did not provide for any credit losses on its extensions of credit to members during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. For a discussion regarding the Bank's assessment of the impact of hurricanes and wildfires that occurred in 2017 and 2018, see Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies.

Advances and Other Extensions of Credit to Members. In accordance with federal statutes, including the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (the “FHLB Act”), the Bank lends to financial institutions within its five-state district that are involved in housing finance. The FHLB Act requires the Bank to obtain and maintain sufficient collateral for advances and other extensions of credit to protect against losses. The Bank makes advances and otherwise extends credit only against eligible collateral, as defined by regulation. To ensure the value of collateral pledged to the Bank is sufficient to secure its advances and other extensions of credit, the Bank applies various haircuts, or discounts, to the collateral to determine the value against which borrowers may borrow. As additional security, the Bank has a statutory lien on each borrower’s capital stock in the Bank.

On at least a quarterly basis, the Bank evaluates all outstanding extensions of credit to members/borrowers for potential credit losses. These evaluations include a review of: (1) the amount, type and performance of collateral available to secure the outstanding obligations; (2) metrics that may be indicative of changes in the financial condition and general creditworthiness of the member/borrower; and (3) the payment status of the obligations. Any outstanding extensions of credit that exhibit a

19

potential credit weakness that could jeopardize the full collection of the outstanding obligations would be classified as substandard, doubtful or loss. The Bank did not have any advances or other extensions of credit to members/borrowers that were classified as substandard, doubtful or loss at September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

The Bank considers the amount, type and performance of collateral to be the primary indicator of credit quality with respect to its extensions of credit to members/borrowers. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank had rights to collateral on a borrower-by-borrower basis with an estimated value in excess of each borrower’s outstanding extensions of credit.

The Bank continues to evaluate and, as necessary, modify its credit extension and collateral policies based on market conditions. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank did not have any advances that were past due, on nonaccrual status, or considered impaired. There have been no troubled debt restructurings related to advances.

The Bank has never experienced a credit loss on an advance or any other extension of credit to a member/borrower and, based on its credit extension and collateral policies, management currently does not anticipate any credit losses on its extensions of credit to members/borrowers. Accordingly, the Bank has not provided any allowance for credit losses on advances, nor has it recorded any liabilities to reflect an allowance for credit losses related to its off-balance sheet credit exposures.

Mortgage Loans — Government-guaranteed or government-insured. The Bank’s government-guaranteed or government-insured fixed-rate mortgage loans are guaranteed or insured by the Federal Housing Administration or the Department of Veterans Affairs and were acquired through the MPF program (as more fully described in the Bank’s 2017 10-K) in periods prior to 2004. Any losses from these loans are expected to be recovered from those entities. Any losses from these loans that are not recovered from those entities are absorbed by the servicers. Therefore, the Bank has not established an allowance for credit losses on government-guaranteed or government-insured mortgage loans. Government-guaranteed or government-insured loans are not placed on nonaccrual status.

Mortgage Loans — Conventional Mortgage Loans. The Bank’s conventional mortgage loans have also been acquired through the MPF program. The allowance for losses on conventional mortgage loans is determined by an analysis that includes consideration of various data such as past performance, current performance, loan portfolio characteristics, collateral-related characteristics, and prevailing economic conditions. The allowance for losses on conventional mortgage loans also factors in the credit enhancement under the MPF program. Any incurred losses that are expected to be recovered from the credit enhancements are not reserved as part of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses.

The Bank places a conventional mortgage loan on nonaccrual status when the collection of the contractual principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. When a mortgage loan is placed on nonaccrual status, accrued but uncollected interest is reversed against interest income. The Bank records cash payments received on nonaccrual loans first as interest income until it recovers all interest, and then as a reduction of principal. A loan on nonaccrual status is restored to accrual status when none of its contractual principal and interest is due and unpaid, and the Bank expects repayment of the remaining contractual interest and principal.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Collateral-dependent loans that are on nonaccrual status are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the underlying property less estimated selling costs. Loans are considered collateral-dependent if repayment is expected to be provided solely by the sale of the underlying property; that is, there is no other available and reliable source of repayment. A collateral-dependent loan is impaired if the fair value of the underlying collateral is insufficient to recover the unpaid principal and interest on the loan. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized in the same manner as it is for nonaccrual loans noted above.

The Bank evaluates whether to record a charge-off on a conventional mortgage loan when the loan becomes 180 days or more past due or upon the occurrence of a confirming event, whichever occurs first. Confirming events include, but are not limited to, the occurrence of foreclosure or notification of a claim against any of the credit enhancements. A charge-off is recorded if the recorded investment in the loan will not be recovered.

The Bank considers the key credit quality indicator for conventional mortgage loans to be the payment status of each loan. The table below summarizes the recorded investment by payment status for mortgage loans at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands).

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank’s other assets included $30,000 and $49,000, respectively, of real estate owned.

Mortgage loans are considered impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage loan agreement. Each nonaccrual mortgage loan and each troubled debt restructuring is specifically reviewed for impairment. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank did not have any troubled debt restructurings related to mortgage loans. At these dates, the estimated value of the collateral securing each nonaccrual loan, plus the estimated amount that can be recovered through credit enhancements and mortgage insurance, if any, exceeded the outstanding loan amount. Therefore, no specific reserve was established for any of the nonaccrual mortgage loans. The remaining conventional mortgage loans were evaluated for impairment on a pool basis. Based upon the current and past performance of these loans and current economic conditions, the Bank determined that an allowance for loan losses of $382,000 was adequate to reserve for credit losses in its conventional mortgage loan portfolio at September 30, 2018. The following table presents the activity in the allowance for credit losses on conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

Note 9—Consolidated Obligations

Consolidated obligations are the joint and several obligations of the FHLBanks and consist of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes. Consolidated obligations are backed only by the financial resources of the 11 FHLBanks. Consolidated obligations are not obligations of, nor are they guaranteed by, the U.S. government. The FHLBanks issue consolidated obligations through the Office of Finance as their agent. In connection with each debt issuance, one or more of the FHLBanks specifies the amount of debt it wants issued on its behalf; the Bank receives the proceeds of only the debt issued on its behalf and records on its statements of condition only that portion of the consolidated obligations for which it has received the proceeds. Consolidated obligation bonds are issued primarily to raise intermediate- and long-term funds for the FHLBanks and are not subject to any statutory or regulatory limits on maturity. Consolidated obligation discount notes are issued to raise short-term funds and have maturities of one year or less. These notes are issued at a price that is less than their face amount and are redeemed at par value when they mature. For additional information regarding the FHLBanks’ joint and several liability on consolidated obligations, see Note 16.

The par amounts of the 11 FHLBanks’ outstanding consolidated obligations, including consolidated obligations held as investments by other FHLBanks, were approximately $1.019 trillion and $1.034 trillion at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The Bank was the primary obligor on $68.8 billion and $64.1 billion (at par value), respectively, of these consolidated obligations.

Interest Rate Payment Terms. The following table summarizes the Bank’s consolidated obligation bonds outstanding by interest rate payment terms at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (in thousands, at par value).

Note 11—Assets and Liabilities Subject to Offsetting

The Bank has derivatives and securities purchased under agreements to resell that are subject to enforceable master netting agreements or similar arrangements. For purposes of reporting derivative assets and derivative liabilities, the Bank offsets the fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments (including the right to reclaim cash collateral and the obligation to return cash collateral) where a legally enforceable right of setoff exists. The Bank did not have any liabilities that were eligible to offset its securities purchased under agreements to resell (i.e., securities sold under agreements to repurchase) as of September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

The Bank's derivative transactions are executed either bilaterally or, if required, cleared through a third-party central clearinghouse. The Bank has entered into master agreements with each of its bilateral derivative counterparties that provide for the netting of all transactions with each of these counterparties. Under its master agreements with its non-member bilateral derivative counterparties, collateral is delivered (or returned) daily when certain thresholds (ranging from $100,000 to $500,000) are met. The Bank offsets the fair value amounts recognized for bilaterally traded derivatives executed with the same counterparty, including any cash collateral remitted to or received from the counterparty. When entering into derivative transactions with its members, the Bank requires the member to post eligible collateral in an amount equal to the sum of the net market value of the member’s derivative transactions with the Bank (if the value is positive to the Bank) plus a percentage of the notional amount of any interest rate swaps, with market values determined on at least a monthly basis. Eligible collateral for derivative transactions with members consists of collateral that is eligible to secure advances and other obligations under the member's Advances and Security Agreement with the Bank. The Bank is not required to pledge collateral to its members to secure derivative positions.

For cleared derivatives, all transactions with each clearing member of each clearinghouse are netted pursuant to legally enforceable setoff rights. Cleared derivatives are subject to initial and variation margin requirements established by the clearinghouse and its clearing members. Effective January 3, 2017, one of the Bank's two clearinghouse counterparties made certain amendments to its rulebook that changed the legal characterization of variation margin payments on cleared derivatives to settlements on the contracts. Effective January 16, 2018, the Bank's other clearinghouse counterparty made similar amendments to its rulebook. Prior to the dates upon which these amendments became effective, the variation margin payments were in each case characterized as collateral pledged to secure outstanding credit exposure on the derivative contracts. Initial and variation margin (regardless of whether it is characterized as collateral or settlements) is typically delivered/paid (or returned/received) daily and is not subject to any maximum unsecured thresholds. The Bank offsets the fair value amounts recognized for cleared derivatives transacted with each clearing member of each clearinghouse (which fair value amounts include variation margin paid or received on daily settled contracts) and any cash collateral pledged or received.

The following table presents derivative instruments and securities purchased under agreements to resell with the legal right of offset, including the related collateral received from or pledged to counterparties as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (in thousands). For daily settled derivative contracts, the variation margin payments/receipts are included in the gross amounts of derivative assets and liabilities.

Note 12—Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Hedging Activities. As a financial intermediary, the Bank is exposed to interest rate risk. This risk arises from a variety of financial instruments that the Bank enters into on a regular basis in the normal course of its business. The Bank enters into interest rate swap, swaption, cap and forward rate agreements (collectively, interest rate exchange agreements) to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. The Bank may use these instruments to adjust the effective maturity, repricing frequency, or option characteristics of financial instruments to achieve risk management objectives. In addition, the Bank may use these instruments to hedge the variable cash flows associated with forecasted transactions. The Bank has not entered into any credit default swaps or foreign exchange-related derivatives and, as of September 30, 2018, it was not a party to any forward rate agreements.

The Bank uses interest rate exchange agreements in three ways: (1) by designating the agreement as a fair value hedge of a specific financial instrument or firm commitment; (2) by designating the agreement as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction; or (3) by designating the agreement as a hedge of some other defined risk (referred to as an “economic hedge”). For example, the Bank uses interest rate exchange agreements in its overall interest rate risk management activities to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of consolidated obligations to approximate more closely the interest rate sensitivity of its assets (both advances and investments), and/or to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of advances or investments to approximate more closely the interest rate sensitivity of its liabilities. In addition to using interest rate exchange agreements to manage mismatches between the coupon features of its assets and liabilities, the Bank also uses interest rate exchange agreements to, among other things, manage embedded options in assets and liabilities, to preserve the market value of existing assets and liabilities, to hedge the duration risk of prepayable instruments, to hedge the variable cash flows associated with forecasted transactions, to offset interest rate exchange agreements entered into with members (the Bank serves as an intermediary in these transactions), and to reduce funding costs.

The Bank, consistent with Finance Agency regulations, enters into interest rate exchange agreements only to reduce potential market risk exposures inherent in otherwise unhedged assets and liabilities or anticipated transactions, or to act as an intermediary between its members and the Bank’s non-member derivative counterparties. The Bank is not a derivatives dealer and it does not trade derivatives for short-term profit.

At inception, the Bank formally documents the relationships between derivatives designated as hedging instruments and their hedged items, its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transactions, and its method for assessing the effectiveness of the hedging relationships. For fair value hedges, this process includes linking the derivatives to: (1) specific assets and liabilities on the statements of condition or (2) firm commitments. For cash flow hedges, this process includes linking the derivatives to forecasted transactions. The Bank also formally assesses (both at the inception of the hedging relationship and on a monthly basis thereafter) whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of hedged items or the cash flows associated with forecasted transactions and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain effective in future periods. The Bank uses regression analyses to assess the effectiveness of its hedges.

 Investment Securities and Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio — The Bank has invested in agency and non-agency MBS and residential mortgage loans. The interest rate and prepayment risk associated with these investments is managed through consolidated obligations and/or derivatives. The Bank may manage prepayment and duration risk presented by some of these investments with either callable and/or non-callable consolidated obligations and/or interest rate exchange agreements, including interest rate swaps, swaptions and caps.

A substantial portion of the Bank’s held-to-maturity securities are variable-rate MBS that include caps that would limit the variable-rate coupons if short-term interest rates rise dramatically. To hedge a portion of the potential cap risk embedded in these securities, the Bank has entered into interest rate cap agreements. These derivatives are treated as economic hedges.

All of the Bank's available-for-sale securities are fixed-rate agency and other highly rated debentures and agency commercial MBS. To hedge the interest rate risk associated with these fixed-rate investment securities, the Bank has entered into fixed-for-floating interest rate exchange agreements, which are designated as fair value hedges.

Approximately one-half of the Bank's trading securities are fixed-rate U.S. Treasury Notes that were acquired with short remaining terms to maturity. To convert these fixed-rate investment securities to a short-term floating rate, the Bank entered into fixed-for-floating interest rate exchange agreements that are indexed to the overnight index swap ("OIS") rate. These derivatives are treated as economic hedges.

The interest rate swaps and swaptions that are used by the Bank to hedge the risks associated with its mortgage loan portfolio are treated as economic hedges.

Advances — The Bank issues both fixed-rate and variable-rate advances. When appropriate, the Bank uses interest rate exchange agreements to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of its fixed-rate advances to approximate more closely the interest rate

26

sensitivity of its liabilities. With issuances of putable advances, the Bank purchases from the member a put option that enables the Bank to terminate a fixed-rate advance on specified future dates. This embedded option is clearly and closely related to the host advance contract. The Bank typically hedges a putable advance by entering into a cancelable interest rate exchange agreement where the Bank pays a fixed-rate coupon and receives a variable-rate coupon, and sells an option to cancel the swap to the swap counterparty. This type of hedge is treated as a fair value hedge. The swap counterparty can cancel the interest rate exchange agreement on the call date and the Bank can cancel the putable advance and offer, subject to certain conditions, replacement funding at prevailing market rates.

A small portion of the Bank’s variable-rate advances are subject to interest rate caps that would limit the variable-rate coupons if short-term interest rates rise above a predetermined level. To hedge the cap risk embedded in these advances, the Bank generally enters into interest rate cap agreements. This type of hedge is treated as a fair value hedge.

The Bank may hedge a firm commitment for a forward-starting advance through the use of an interest rate swap. In this case, the swap will function as the hedging instrument for both the firm commitment and the subsequent advance. The carrying value of the firm commitment will be included in the basis of the advance at the time the commitment is terminated and the advance is issued. The basis adjustment will then be amortized into interest income over the life of the advance.

The Bank enters into optional advance commitments with its members. In an optional advance commitment, the Bank sells an option to the member that provides the member with the right to increase the amount of an existing advance at a specified fixed rate and term on a specified future date, provided the member has satisfied all of the customary requirements for such advance. This embedded option is clearly and closely related to the host contract. The Bank may hedge an optional advance commitment through the use of an interest rate swaption. In this case, the swaption will function as the hedging instrument for both the commitment and, if the option is exercised by the member, the subsequent advance. These swaptions are treated as fair value hedges.

Consolidated Obligations— While consolidated obligations are the joint and several obligations of the FHLBanks, each FHLBank is the primary obligor for the consolidated obligations it has issued or assumed from another FHLBank. The Bank generally enters into derivative contracts to hedge the interest rate risk associated with its specific debt issuances.

To manage the interest rate risk of certain of its consolidated obligations, the Bank will match the cash outflow on a consolidated obligation with the cash inflow of an interest rate exchange agreement. With issuances of fixed-rate consolidated obligation bonds, the Bank typically enters into a matching interest rate exchange agreement in which the counterparty pays fixed cash flows to the Bank that are designed to mirror in timing and amount the cash outflows the Bank pays on the consolidated obligation. In this transaction, the Bank pays a variable cash flow that closely matches the interest payments it receives on short-term or variable-rate assets, typically one-month or three-month LIBOR. These transactions are treated as fair value hedges. On occasion, the Bank may enter into fixed-for-floating interest rate exchange agreements to hedge the interest rate risk associated with certain of its consolidated obligation discount notes. The derivatives associated with the Bank’s fair value discount note hedging are treated as economic hedges. The Bank may also use interest rate exchange agreements to convert variable-rate consolidated obligation bonds from one index rate (e.g., the daily effective federal funds rate) to another index rate (e.g., one-month or three-month LIBOR). These transactions are treated as economic hedges.

The Bank has not issued consolidated obligations denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars.

Forecasted Issuances of Consolidated Obligations— The Bank uses derivatives to hedge the variability of cash flows over a specified period of time as a result of the forecasted issuances and maturities of short-term, fixed-rate instruments, such as three-month consolidated obligation discount notes. Although each short-term consolidated obligation discount note has a fixed rate of interest, a portfolio of rolling consolidated obligation discount notes effectively has a variable interest rate. The variable cash flows associated with these liabilities are converted to fixed-rate cash flows by entering into receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps. The maturity dates of the cash flow streams are closely matched to the interest rate reset dates of the derivatives. These derivatives are treated as cash flow hedges.

Balance Sheet Management — From time to time, the Bank may enter into interest rate basis swaps to reduce its exposure to changing spreads between one-month and three-month LIBOR. In addition, to reduce its exposure to reset risk, the Bank may occasionally enter into forward rate agreements. These derivatives are treated as economic hedges.

Intermediation — The Bank offers interest rate swaps, caps and floors to its members to assist them in meeting their hedging needs. In these transactions, the Bank acts as an intermediary for its members by entering into an interest rate exchange agreement with a member and then entering into an offsetting interest rate exchange agreement with one of the Bank’s approved derivative counterparties. All interest rate exchange agreements related to the Bank’s intermediary activities with its members are accounted for as economic hedges.

Other — From time to time, the Bank may enter into derivatives to hedge risks to its earnings that are not directly linked to specific assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions. These derivatives are treated as economic hedges.

Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities. The Bank accounts for derivatives and hedging activities in accordance with the guidance in Topic 815 of the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) entitled “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). All derivatives are recognized on the statements of condition at their fair values, including accrued interest receivable and payable. For purposes of reporting derivative assets and derivative liabilities, the Bank offsets the fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments (including the right to reclaim cash collateral and the obligation to return cash collateral) where a legally enforceable right of setoff exists.

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is effective as — and that is designated and qualifies as — a fair value hedge, along with changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk (including changes that reflect gains or losses on firm commitments), are recorded in current period earnings. Any hedge ineffectiveness (which represents the amount by which the change in the fair value of the derivative differs from the change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk) is recorded in other income (loss) as “net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.” Net interest income/expense associated with derivatives that qualify for fair value hedge accounting under ASC 815 is recorded as a component of net interest income.

If fair value hedging relationships meet certain criteria specified in ASC 815, they are eligible for hedge accounting and the offsetting changes in fair value of the hedged items may be recorded in earnings. The application of hedge accounting generally requires the Bank to evaluate the effectiveness of the fair value hedging relationships on an ongoing basis and to calculate the changes in fair value of the derivatives and related hedged items independently. This is commonly known as the “long-haul” method of hedge accounting. Transactions that meet more stringent criteria qualify for the “shortcut” method of hedge accounting in which an assumption can be made that the change in fair value of a hedged item exactly offsets the change in value of the related derivative. The Bank considers hedges of committed advances to be eligible for the shortcut method of accounting as long as the settlement of the committed advance occurs within the shortest period possible for that type of instrument based on market settlement conventions, the fair value of the swap is zero at the inception of the hedging relationship, and the transaction meets all of the other criteria for shortcut accounting specified in ASC 815. The Bank has defined the market settlement convention to be five business days or less for advances.

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, to the extent that the hedge is effective, are recorded in AOCI until earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged transaction. Any ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge (which represents the amount by which the change in the fair value of the derivative differs from the change in fair value of a hypothetical derivative having terms that match identically the critical terms of the hedged forecasted transaction) is recognized in other income (loss) as “net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.”

An economic hedge is defined as a derivative hedging specific or non-specific assets or liabilities that does not qualify or was not designated for hedge accounting under ASC 815, but is an acceptable hedging strategy under the Bank’s Enterprise Market Risk Management Policy. These hedging strategies also comply with Finance Agency regulatory requirements prohibiting speculative derivative transactions. An economic hedge by definition introduces the potential for earnings variability as changes in the fair value of a derivative designated as an economic hedge are recorded in current period earnings with no offsetting fair value adjustment to an asset or liability. Both the net interest income/expense and the fair value changes associated with derivatives in economic hedging relationships are recorded in other income (loss) as “net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.”

The Bank records the changes in fair value of all derivatives (and, in the case of fair value hedges, the hedged items) beginning on the trade date.

Cash flows associated with all derivatives are reported as cash flows from operating activities in the statements of cash flows, unless the derivative contains an other-than-insignificant financing element, in which case its cash flows are reported as cash flows from financing activities.

The Bank may issue debt, make advances, or purchase financial instruments in which a derivative instrument is “embedded” and the financial instrument that embodies the embedded derivative instrument is not remeasured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur. Upon execution of these transactions, the Bank assesses whether the economic characteristics of the embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the remaining component of the financial instrument (i.e., the host contract) and whether a separate, non-embedded instrument with the same terms as the embedded instrument would meet the definition of a derivative instrument. When it is determined that (1) the embedded derivative possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract and (2) a separate, stand-alone instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded derivative is separated from the host contract, carried at fair value, and designated as either (1) a hedging instrument in a fair value hedge or (2) a stand-alone derivative instrument pursuant to an economic hedge. However, if the entire contract were to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in current earnings, or if the Bank could not reliably identify and measure the embedded derivative for purposes of separating that derivative from its host contract, the entire contract

28

would be carried on the statement of condition at fair value and no portion of the contract would be separately accounted for as a derivative.

The Bank discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when: (1) management determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; (2) the derivative and/or the hedged item expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; (3) it is no longer probable that a forecasted transaction will occur within the originally specified time frame; (4) a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or (5) management determines that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument in accordance with ASC 815 is no longer appropriate.

In all cases in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Bank will carry the derivative at its fair value on the statement of condition, recognizing any additional changes in the fair value of the derivative in current period earnings.

When fair value hedge accounting for a specific derivative is discontinued due to the Bank’s determination that such derivative no longer qualifies for hedge accounting treatment or because the derivative is terminated, the Bank will cease to adjust the hedged asset or liability for changes in fair value and amortize the cumulative basis adjustment on the formerly hedged item into earnings over its remaining term using the level-yield method.

When hedge accounting is discontinued because the hedged item no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, the Bank continues to carry the derivative on the statement of condition at its fair value, removing from the statement of condition any asset or liability that was recorded to recognize the firm commitment and recording it as a gain or loss in current period earnings.

When cash flow hedge accounting for a specific derivative is discontinued due to the Bank's determination that such derivative no longer qualifies for hedge accounting treatment or because the derivative is terminated, the Bank will reclassify the cumulative fair value gains or losses recorded in AOCI as of the discontinuance date from AOCI into earnings when earnings are affected by the original forecasted transaction, except in cases where the cash flow hedge is discontinued because the forecasted transaction is no longer probable (i.e., the forecasted transaction will not occur in the originally expected period or within an additional two-month period of time thereafter). In such cases, any fair value gains or losses recorded in AOCI as of the determination date are immediately reclassified to earnings as a component of "net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities." Similarly, if the Bank expects at any time that continued reporting of a net loss in AOCI would lead to recognizing a net loss on the combination of the hedging instrument and hedged transaction in one or more future periods, the amount that is not expected to be recovered is immediately reclassified to earnings as a component of "net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities."

⁽¹⁾  Represents net interest income (expense) associated with the derivatives.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no amounts reclassified from AOCI into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges because the original forecasted transactions occurred by the end of the originally specified time periods or within two-month periods thereafter. At September 30, 2018, $4,492,000 of deferred net gains on derivative instruments in AOCI are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months. At September 30, 2018, the maximum length of time over which the Bank is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is 10 years.

Credit Risk Related to Derivatives. The Bank is subject to credit risk due to the risk of nonperformance by counterparties to its derivative agreements. The Bank manages derivative counterparty credit risk through the use of master netting agreements or other similar collateral exchange arrangements, credit analysis, and adherence to the requirements set forth in the Bank’s Enterprise Market Risk Management Policy, Enterprise Credit Risk Management Policy, and Finance Agency regulations. The majority of the Bank's derivative contracts have been cleared through third-party central clearinghouses (as of September 30, 2018, the notional balance of cleared transactions outstanding totaled $28.2 billion). With cleared transactions, the Bank is exposed to credit risk in the event that the clearinghouse or the clearing member fails to meet its obligations to the Bank. The remainder of the Bank's derivative contracts have been transacted bilaterally with large financial institutions under master netting agreements or, to a much lesser extent, with member institutions (as of September 30, 2018, the notional balance of outstanding transactions with non-member bilateral counterparties and member counterparties totaled $16.6 billion and $0.5 billion, respectively). Some of these institutions (or their affiliates) buy, sell, and distribute consolidated obligations.

The notional amount of the Bank's interest rate exchange agreements does not reflect its credit risk exposure, which is much less than the notional amount. The Bank's net credit risk exposure is based on the current estimated cost, on a present value basis, of replacing at current market rates all interest rate exchange agreements with individual counterparties, if those counterparties were to default, after taking into account the value of any cash and/or securities collateral held or remitted by the Bank. For counterparties with which the Bank is in a net gain position, the Bank has credit exposure when the collateral it is holding (if any) has a value less than the amount of the gain. For counterparties with which the Bank is in a net loss position, the Bank has credit exposure when it has delivered collateral with a value greater than the amount of the loss position. The net exposure on derivative agreements is presented in Note 11. Based on the netting provisions and collateral requirements associated with its derivative agreements and the creditworthiness of its derivative counterparties, Bank management does not currently anticipate any credit losses on its derivative agreements.

Note 13—Capital

At all times during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bank was in compliance with all applicable statutory and regulatory capital requirements. The following table summarizes the Bank’s compliance with those capital requirements as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2018						December 31, 2017
	Required			Actual			Required			Actual
Regulatory capital requirements:
Risk-based capital	$	1,044,112		$	3,657,267		$	831,553		$	3,265,641
Total capital	$	2,948,404		$	3,657,267		$	2,740,972		$	3,265,641

Members are required to maintain an investment in Class B Capital Stock equal to the sum of a membership investment requirement and an activity-based investment requirement. The membership investment requirement is currently 0.04 percent of each member’s total assets as of December 31, 2017, subject to a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $7,000,000. The activity-based investment requirement is currently 4.1 percent of outstanding advances, except as described below.

On September 21, 2015, the Bank announced a Board-authorized reduction in the activity-based stock investment requirement from 4.1 percent to 2.0 percent for certain advances that were funded during the period from October 21, 2015 through December 31, 2015. To be eligible for the reduced activity-based investment requirement, advances funded during this period had to have a minimum maturity of one year or greater, among other things. The standard activity-based stock investment requirement of 4.1 percent continued to apply to all other advances that were funded during the period from October 21, 2015 through December 31, 2015.

The Bank generally repurchases surplus stock quarterly. For the repurchases that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, surplus stock was defined as the amount of stock held by a member shareholder in excess of 125 percent of the shareholder’s minimum investment requirement. For those repurchases, which occurred on March 27, 2018, June 26, 2018 and September 24, 2018, a member shareholder's surplus stock was not repurchased if: (1) the amount of that shareholder's surplus stock was $2,500,000 or less, (2) the shareholder elected to opt-out of the repurchase, or (3) the shareholder was on restricted collateral status (subject to certain exceptions). On March 27, 2018, June 26, 2018 and September 24, 2018, the Bank repurchased surplus stock totaling $233,659,000, $99,285,000 and $223,761,000, respectively, none of which was classified as mandatorily redeemable capital stock at those dates. From time to time, the Bank may modify the definition of surplus stock or the timing and/or frequency of surplus stock repurchases.

On March 27, 2018, June 26, 2018 and September 24, 2018, the Bank also repurchased all excess stock held by non-member shareholders as of those dates. This excess stock, all of which was classified as mandatorily redeemable capital stock at those dates, totaled $5,363,000, $22,000 and $20,000, respectively.

Note 14—Employee Retirement Plans

The Bank sponsors a retirement benefits program that includes health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees. Components of net periodic benefit cost (credit) related to this program for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2018			2017			2018			2017
Service cost	$	5		$	5		$	15		$	17

Note 15—Estimated Fair Values

Fair value is defined under U.S. GAAP 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. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. U.S. GAAP also requires an entity to disclose the level within the fair value hierarchy in which each measurement is classified. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

Level 1 Inputs — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.

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

Level 3 Inputs — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity. None of the Bank’s assets or liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were measured using significant Level 3 inputs.

For financial instruments carried at fair value, the Bank reviews the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of certain assets or liabilities. Reclassifications, if any, would be reported as transfers as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Bank did not reclassify any fair value measurements.

The following estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Bank using available market information and the Bank’s best judgment of appropriate valuation methods. These estimates are based on pertinent information available to the Bank as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Although the Bank uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique or valuation methodology. For example, because an active secondary market does not exist for many of the Bank’s financial instruments (e.g., advances, non-agency RMBS and mortgage loans held for portfolio), in certain cases their fair values are not subject to precise quantification or verification. Therefore, the estimated fair values presented below in the Fair Value Summary Tables may not be indicative of the amounts that would have been realized in market transactions at the reporting dates. Further, the fair values do not represent an estimate of the overall market value of the Bank as a going concern, which would take into account future business opportunities.

The valuation techniques used to measure the fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on the statement of condition are described below.

Trading and available-for-sale securities. To value its U.S. Treasury Notes and Bills classified as trading securities and all of its available-for-sale securities, the Bank obtains prices from three designated third-party pricing vendors when available.

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

A "median" price is first established for each security using a formula that is based upon the number of prices received. If three prices are received, the middle price is the median price; if two prices are received, the average of the two prices is the median price; and if one price is received, it is the median price (and also the final price) subject to some type of validation similar to the evaluation of outliers described below. All prices that are within a specified tolerance threshold of the median price are included in the “cluster” of prices that are averaged to compute a “default” price. All prices that are outside the threshold (“outliers”) are subject to further analysis (including, but not limited to, comparison to prices provided by an additional third-party valuation service, prices for similar securities, and/or non-binding dealer estimates) to determine if an outlier is a better estimate of fair value. If an outlier (or some other price identified in the analysis) is determined to be a better estimate of fair value, then the outlier (or the other price, as appropriate) is used as the final price rather than the default price. If, on the other hand, the analysis confirms that an outlier (or outliers) is (are) in fact not representative of fair value and the

34

default price is the best estimate, then the default price is used as the final price. In all cases, the final price is used to determine the fair value of the security.

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

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, three vendor prices were received for substantially all of the Bank’s trading and available-for-sale securities and the final prices for substantially all of those securities were computed by averaging the three prices. Based on the Bank's understanding of the pricing methods employed by the third-party pricing vendors and the relative lack of dispersion among the vendor prices (or, in those instances in which there were outliers, the Bank's additional analyses), the Bank believes its final prices result in reasonable estimates of the fair values and that the fair value measurements are classified appropriately in the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative assets/liabilities. The fair values of the Bank’s interest rate swap and swaption agreements are estimated using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market (e.g., the relevant interest rate curves (that is, the relevant LIBOR swap curve and, for purposes of discounting, the OIS curve) and, for agreements containing options, swaption volatility). The fair values of the Bank’s interest rate caps and floors are also estimated using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market (that is, cap/floor volatility, the relevant LIBOR swap curve and, for purposes of discounting, the OIS curve).

As the collateral (or variation margin in the case of daily settled contracts) and netting provisions of the Bank’s arrangements with its derivative counterparties significantly reduce the risk from nonperformance (see Note 11), the Bank does not consider its own nonperformance risk or the nonperformance risk associated with each of its counterparties to be a significant factor in the valuation of its derivative assets and liabilities. The Bank compares the fair values obtained from its pricing model to clearinghouse valuations (in the case of cleared derivatives) and non-binding dealer estimates (in the case of bilateral derivatives) and may also compare its fair values to those of similar instruments to ensure that the fair values are reasonable.

The fair values of the Bank’s derivative assets and liabilities include accrued interest receivable/payable and cash collateral remitted to/received from counterparties; the estimated fair values of the accrued interest receivable/payable and cash collateral approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature. The fair values of the Bank's bilateral derivatives are netted by counterparty pursuant to the provisions of the credit support annexes to the Bank’s master netting agreements with its non-member bilateral derivative counterparties. The Bank's cleared derivative transactions with each clearing member of each clearinghouse are netted pursuant to the Bank's arrangements with those parties. In each case, if the netted amounts are positive, they are classified as an asset and, if negative, as a liability.

The Bank estimates the fair values of mortgage delivery commitments based upon the prices for to-be-announced ("TBA") securities, which represent quoted market prices for forward-settling agency MBS. The prices are adjusted for differences in coupon, cost to carry, vintage, remittance type and product type between the Bank's mortgage loan commitments and the referenced TBA MBS.

Other assets held at fair value. To value its mutual fund investments included in other assets as of September 30, 2018 and trading securities as of December 31, 2017, the Bank obtained quoted prices for the mutual funds.

35

The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments at September 30, 2018 (in thousands), as well as the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements are classified. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value estimate.

Note 16—Commitments and Contingencies

Joint and several liability. The Bank is jointly and severally liable with the other 10 FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on all of the consolidated obligations issued by the FHLBanks. At September 30, 2018, the par amount of the other 10 FHLBanks’ outstanding consolidated obligations was approximately $950 billion. The Finance Agency, in its discretion, may require any FHLBank to make principal or interest payments due on any consolidated obligation, regardless of whether there has been a default by a FHLBank having primary liability. To the extent that a FHLBank makes any consolidated obligation payment on behalf of another FHLBank, the paying FHLBank is entitled to reimbursement from the FHLBank with primary liability. However, if the Finance Agency determines that the primary obligor is unable to satisfy its obligations, then the Finance Agency may allocate the outstanding liability among the remaining FHLBanks on a pro rata basis in proportion to each FHLBank’s participation in all consolidated obligations outstanding, or on any other basis that the Finance Agency may determine. No FHLBank has ever failed to make any payment on a consolidated obligation for which it was the primary

37

obligor; as a result, the regulatory provisions for directing other FHLBanks to make payments on behalf of another FHLBank or allocating the liability among other FHLBanks have never been invoked. If the Bank expected that it would be required to pay any amounts on behalf of its co-obligors under its joint and several liability, the Bank would charge to income the amount of the expected payment. Based upon the creditworthiness of the other FHLBanks, the Bank currently believes that the likelihood that it would have to pay any amounts beyond those for which it is primarily liable is remote.

Impact of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, two significant hurricanes struck the continental United States. On August 25, 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall near Rockport, Texas, causing substantial flooding and other damage in southeast Texas, including the Houston metropolitan area, and lesser damage in Louisiana. Then, on September 10, 2017, Hurricane Irma made landfall near Marco Island, Florida, causing significant damage in Florida and lesser damage in other southeastern states.

These storms had varying degrees of impact on the Bank’s members, its members’ borrowers and the properties pledged as collateral for those borrowings, and MPF mortgage loan borrowers and the properties pledged as collateral for those mortgage loans.

At the time the storms struck, the Bank held interests totaling approximately $58 million (unpaid principal balance or “UPB”) in conventional mortgage loans acquired through the MPF Program and held for portfolio that were collateralized by properties located in the areas that were ultimately designated as disaster areas by FEMA, making them eligible for individual assistance from the federal government (approximately $14 million UPB was collateralized by properties located in Hurricane Harvey disaster areas and approximately $44 million UPB was collateralized by properties located in Hurricane Irma disaster areas). Under the terms of the MPF Program, all mortgagors are required to carry hazard insurance and, if the property is located in a federal government-designated flood zone, they must also carry flood insurance. Federal assistance may also be available to mortgagors affected by the storms. In addition, mortgage loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80 percent are required to have private mortgage insurance. Members selling mortgage loans to the Bank under the MPF Program are also required to retain a portion of the credit risk associated with those loans (“MPF credit enhancements”). Based on its assessment, the Bank does not currently anticipate any material losses in its mortgage loan portfolio related to Hurricanes Harvey or Irma. As of September 30, 2018, none of these loans were delinquent and $2.8 million UPB of these loans were in forbearance.

The Bank also owns several non-agency RMBS that are collateralized in part by loans on properties that are located in Florida and, to a lesser extent, Texas (the states most affected by Hurricanes Irma and Harvey, respectively). Credit support for the senior tranches of these securities held by the Bank is provided by subordinated tranches that absorb losses before the senior tranches held by the Bank would be affected. The amount of loans in Florida and Texas generally represent a small portion of the underlying loan pools and, therefore, the Bank does not currently anticipate any material losses in its non-agency RMBS portfolio related to Hurricanes Irma or Harvey.

Based on currently available information, the Bank has not recorded any reserves related to Hurricanes Harvey or Irma. If information becomes available indicating that any of these assets has been impaired and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Bank will record appropriate reserves at that time.

The Bank has also evaluated the potential for losses resulting from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma on its advances and letters of credit. Based on its assessment, the Bank does not expect to incur any losses on advances or letters of credit.

Impact of Hurricanes Florence and Michael. In September and October 2018, two significant hurricanes struck the continental United States. On September 14, 2018, Hurricane Florence made landfall near Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, causing severe damage in North and South Carolina, primarily as a result of freshwater flooding. Then, on October 10, 2018, Hurricane Michael made landfall near Mexico Beach, Florida, causing severe damage in the Florida Panhandle, Georgia and Alabama. The Bank's exposure to the destruction caused by these storms relates primarily to its mortgage loan and non-agency RMBS portfolios and, in the case of each portfolio, is insignificant.

Impact of California Wildfires. In October and December, 2017, several significant wildfires destroyed thousands of homes and businesses in Northern and Southern California, respectively. The Bank’s primary exposure to the destruction caused by these wildfires relates to its mortgage loans held for portfolio. At the time the fires occurred, the Bank held interests totaling approximately $83 million UPB in conventional mortgage loans acquired through the MPF Program that were collateralized by properties located in the areas that were ultimately designated as disaster areas by FEMA, making them eligible for individual assistance from the federal government. As noted in the discussion regarding Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, all mortgagors are required under the terms of the MPF Program to carry hazard insurance. For this reason and the other reasons set forth in that discussion, the Bank does not currently anticipate any material losses as a result of the 2017 California wildfires. As of September 30, 2018, none of these loans were 90 days or more delinquent and $0.3 million UPB of these loans were 60-89 days delinquent. In addition, loans with an aggregate UPB of $0.8 million were in forbearance.

38

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, several significant wildfires destroyed over 1,000 homes and other structures in Northern California. At the time these fires occurred, the Bank did not have any conventional mortgage loans that were collateralized by properties located in the areas that were ultimately designated as disaster areas by FEMA.

Other commitments and contingencies. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank had commitments to make additional advances totaling approximately $30,301,000 and $20,200,000, respectively. In addition, outstanding standby letters of credit totaled $17,201,145,000 and $16,215,472,000 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Based on management’s credit analyses and collateral requirements, the Bank does not deem it necessary to have any provision for credit losses on these letters of credit (see Note 8).

In late 2017 and June 2018, the Bank entered into standby bond purchase agreements with a state housing finance agency within its district whereby, for a fee, the Bank agrees to serve as a standby liquidity provider. If required, the Bank will purchase and hold the housing finance agency's bonds until the designated marketing agent can find a suitable investor or the housing finance agency repurchases the bonds according to a schedule established by the agreement. Each standby bond purchase agreement includes the provisions under which the Bank would be required to purchase the bonds. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank had outstanding standby bond purchase agreements totaling $455,685,000 and $207,663,000, respectively. At September 30, 2018, standby bond purchase agreements totaling $202,192,000 and $253,493,000 expire in 2022 and 2023, respectively. The Bank was not required to purchase any bonds under these agreements during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 or the year ended December 31, 2017.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank had commitments to purchase conventional mortgage loans totaling $30,605,000 and $20,304,000, respectively, from certain of its members that participate in the MPF program.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank had commitments to issue $125,475,000 and $55,000,000, respectively, of consolidated obligation bonds, of which $115,000,000 and $55,000,000, respectively, were hedged with interest rate swaps. In addition, at September 30, 2018, the Bank had commitments to issue $390,953,000 (par value) of consolidated obligation discount notes, none of which were hedged. The Bank did not have any commitments to issue consolidated obligation discount notes at December 31, 2017.

The Bank has transacted interest rate exchange agreements with large financial institutions and third-party clearinghouses that are subject to collateral exchange arrangements. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank had pledged cash collateral of $211,275,000 and $137,201,000, respectively, to those parties that had credit risk exposure to the Bank related to interest rate exchange agreements. The pledged cash collateral (i.e., interest-bearing deposit asset) is netted against derivative assets and liabilities in the statements of condition. In addition, as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank had pledged securities with carrying values (and fair values) of $719,152,000 and $747,230,000, respectively, to parties that had credit risk exposure to the Bank related to interest rate exchange agreements. The pledged securities may be rehypothecated and are not netted against derivative assets and liabilities in the statements of condition.

In the ordinary course of its business, the Bank is subject to the risk that litigation may arise. Currently, the Bank is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Note 17— Transactions with Shareholders

Affiliates of two of the Bank’s derivative counterparties (Citigroup and Wells Fargo) acquired member institutions on March 31, 2005 and October 1, 2006, respectively. Since the acquisitions were completed, the Bank has continued to enter into interest rate exchange agreements with Citigroup and Wells Fargo in the normal course of business and under the same terms and conditions as before. Effective October 1, 2006, Citigroup terminated the Ninth District charter of the affiliate that acquired the member institution and, as a result, an affiliate of Citigroup became a non-member shareholder of the Bank.

Note 18 — Transactions with Other FHLBanks

Occasionally, the Bank loans (or borrows) short-term federal funds to (or from) other FHLBanks. The Bank did not loan any short-term federal funds to other FHLBanks during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, interest income from loans to other FHLBanks totaled $13,425. The following table summarizes the Bank’s loans to other FHLBanks during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (in thousands).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in “Item 1. Financial Statements.”

Forward-Looking Information

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that reflect current beliefs and expectations of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (the “Bank”) about its future results, performance, liquidity, financial condition, prospects and opportunities. These statements are identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “might,” “expects,” “intends” or their negatives or other similar terms. The Bank cautions that forward-looking statements involve risks or uncertainties that could cause the Bank’s actual results to 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. As a result, undue reliance should not be placed on these statements.

These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, evolving economic and market conditions, political events, and the impact of competitive business forces. The risks and uncertainties related to evolving economic and market conditions include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the Bank’s access to the capital markets, changes in the cost of the Bank’s debt, changes in the ratings on the Bank’s debt, adverse consequences resulting from a significant regional, national or global economic downturn (including, but not limited to, reduced demand for the Bank's products and services), credit and prepayment risks, or changes in the financial health of the Bank’s members or non-member borrowers. Among other things, political events could possibly lead to changes in the Bank’s regulatory environment or its status as a government-sponsored enterprise (“GSE”), or to changes in the regulatory environment for the Bank’s members or non-member borrowers. Risks and uncertainties related to competitive business forces include, but are not limited to, the potential loss of a significant amount of member borrowings through acquisitions or other means or changes in the relative competitiveness of the Bank’s products and services for member institutions. For a more detailed discussion of the risk factors applicable to the Bank, see “Item 1A — Risk Factors” in the Bank’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 22, 2018 (the “2017 10-K”). The Bank undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances, or any other reason.

Overview

Business

The Bank is one of 11 district Federal Home Loan Banks (each individually a “FHLBank” and collectively the “FHLBanks” and, together with the Federal Home Loan Banks Office of Finance ("Office of Finance"), a joint office of the FHLBanks, the “FHLBank System”) that were created by the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932 (as amended, the "FHLBank Act"). The FHLBanks serve the public by enhancing the availability of credit for residential mortgages, community lending and targeted community development. As independent, member-owned cooperatives, the FHLBanks seek to maintain a balance between their public purpose and their ability to provide adequate returns on the capital supplied by their members. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (“Finance Agency”), an independent agency in the executive branch of the U.S. government, is responsible for supervising and regulating the FHLBanks and the Office of Finance. The Finance Agency’s stated mission is to ensure that the housing GSEs, including the FHLBanks, operate in a safe and sound manner so that they serve as a reliable source of liquidity and funding for housing finance and community investment. Consistent with this mission, the Finance Agency establishes policies and regulations covering the operations of the FHLBanks.

The Bank serves eligible financial institutions in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas (collectively, the Ninth District of the FHLBank System). The Bank’s primary business is lending relatively low cost funds (known as advances) to its member institutions, which include commercial banks, savings institutions, insurance companies, credit unions, and Community Development Financial Institutions that are certified under the Community Development Banking and Financial Institutions Act of 1994. While not members of the Bank, housing associates, including state and local housing authorities, that meet certain statutory criteria may also borrow from the Bank. The Bank also maintains a portfolio of investments, substantially all of which are highly rated, for liquidity purposes and to provide additional earnings. Additionally, the Bank holds interests in a portfolio of predominately conventional mortgage loans that were acquired through the Mortgage Partnership Finance^® (“MPF”^®) Program administered by the FHLBank of Chicago. Shareholders’ return on their investment includes dividends (which are typically paid quarterly in the form of capital stock) and the value derived from access to the Bank’s products and services. Historically, the Bank has balanced the financial rewards to shareholders by seeking to pay a dividend that meets or exceeds the return on alternative short-term money market investments available to shareholders, while lending funds at the lowest rates expected to be compatible with that objective and its objective to build retained earnings over time.

43

The Bank’s capital stock is not publicly traded and can be held only by members of the Bank, by non-member institutions that acquire stock by virtue of acquiring member institutions, by a federal or state agency or insurer acting as a receiver of a closed institution, or by former members of the Bank that retain capital stock to support advances or other obligations that remain outstanding or until any applicable stock redemption or withdrawal notice period expires. All members must hold stock in the Bank. The Bank’s capital stock has a par value of $100 per share and is purchased, redeemed, repurchased and transferred only at its par value. By regulation, the parties to a transaction involving the Bank's stock can include only the Bank and its member institutions (or non-member institutions or former members, as described above). While a member could transfer stock to another member of the Bank, that transfer could occur only upon approval of the Bank and then only at par value. Members may redeem excess stock, or withdraw from membership and redeem all outstanding capital stock, with five years’ written notice to the Bank.

The FHLBanks’ debt instruments (known as consolidated obligations) are their primary source of funds and are the joint and several obligations of all 11 FHLBanks. Consolidated obligations are issued through the Office of Finance (acting as agent for the FHLBanks) and generally are publicly traded in the over-the-counter market. The Bank records on its statements of condition only those consolidated obligations for which it receives the proceeds. Consolidated obligations are not obligations of the U.S. government and the U.S. government does not guarantee them. Consolidated obligations are currently rated Aaa/P-1 by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) and AA+/A-1+ by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”). These ratings indicate that each of these nationally recognized statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs") has concluded that the FHLBanks have a very strong capacity to meet their commitments to pay principal and interest on consolidated obligations. The ratings also reflect the FHLBank System’s status as a GSE. Historically, the FHLBanks’ GSE status and very high credit ratings on consolidated obligations have provided the FHLBanks with excellent capital markets access. Deposits, other borrowings and the proceeds from capital stock issued to members are also sources of funds for the Bank.

In addition to ratings on the FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations, each FHLBank is rated individually by both S&P and Moody’s. These individual FHLBank ratings apply to the individual obligations of the respective FHLBanks, such as interest rate derivatives, deposits and letters of credit. As of September 30, 2018, Moody’s had assigned a deposit rating of Aaa/P-1 to each of the FHLBanks and S&P had rated each of the FHLBanks AA+/A-1+.

Shareholders, bondholders and prospective shareholders and bondholders should understand that these credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, hold or sell securities and they may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the NRSRO. The ratings from each of the NRSROs should be evaluated independently.

The Bank conducts its business and fulfills its public purpose primarily by acting as a financial intermediary between its members and the capital markets. The intermediation of the timing, structure and amount of its members’ credit needs with the investment requirements of the Bank’s creditors is made possible by the extensive use of interest rate exchange agreements, including interest rate swaps, swaptions and caps.

The Bank’s profitability objective is to generate sufficient earnings to allow the Bank to continue to increase its retained earnings and pay dividends on capital stock at rates that meet the Bank's dividend targets. Currently, the Bank's target for quarterly dividends on Class B-1 Stock is an annualized rate that approximates the average one-month LIBOR rate for the immediately preceding quarter. The target range for quarterly dividends on Class B-2 Stock is currently an annualized rate that approximates the average one-month LIBOR rate for the preceding quarter plus 0.5 - 1.0 percent. While the Bank has had a long-standing practice of paying quarterly dividends, future dividend payments cannot be assured.

The Bank operates in only one reportable segment. All of the Bank’s revenues are derived from U.S. operations.

The following table summarizes the Bank’s membership, by type of institution, as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

_____________________________

⁽¹⁾  The figures shown reflect the number of institutions that were Community Financial Institutions as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 based upon the definitions of Community Financial Institutions that applied as of those dates.

For 2018, Community Financial Institutions (“CFIs”) are defined to include all institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) with average total assets as of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 of less than $1.173 billion. For 2017, CFIs were defined as FDIC-insured institutions with average total assets as of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 of less than $1.148 billion.

As of September 30, 2018, the Bank had 813 members. The decline in the Bank's membership during the first nine months of 2018 was largely attributable to intra-district merger activity.

Financial Market Conditions

Economic growth in the United States expanded during the third quarter of 2018. The gross domestic product increased at an annual rate of 3.5 percent during the third quarter of 2018, after increasing at annual rates of 2.2 percent during the first quarter of 2018, 4.2 percent during the second quarter of 2018, and 2.2 percent during 2017. The nationwide unemployment rate was 3.7 percent at September 30, 2018, down from 4.0 percent at June 30, 2018 and 4.1 percent at both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Housing prices continued to increase in most major metropolitan areas, albeit at a slower pace than in 2017, while home sales slowed in many markets.

At a meeting that was held on March 20/21, 2018, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") raised its target for the federal funds rate to a range between 1.50 percent and 1.75 percent (from a range between 1.25 percent and 1.50 percent). The FOMC further raised its target for the federal funds rate to a range between 1.75 percent and 2.00 percent at a meeting held on June 12/13, 2018 and to a range between 2.00 percent and 2.25 percent at a meeting held on September 25/26, 2018. At a meeting held on November 7/8, 2018, the FOMC maintained its target for the federal funds rate at a range between 2.00 percent and 2.25 percent and stated that it expects that further gradual increases in the target range for the federal funds rate will be consistent with sustained expansion of economic activity, strong labor market conditions, and inflation near the FOMC's symmetric 2 percent objective over the medium term. In addition, through the first nine months of 2018, the FOMC continued its balance sheet normalization program, which gradually reduces the Federal Reserve's securities holdings by decreasing reinvestment of principal payments from those securities. The FOMC's next regular meeting is scheduled to occur on December 18/19, 2018.

One-month and three-month LIBOR increased during the first nine months of 2018, with one-month and three-month LIBOR ending the third quarter at 2.26 percent and 2.40 percent, respectively, as compared to 1.56 percent and 1.69 percent, respectively, at the end of 2017.

Year-to-Date 2018 Summary

• The Bank ended the third quarter of 2018 with total assets of $73.7 billion compared with $68.5 billion at the end of 2017. The $5.2 billion increase in total assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was attributable primarily to increases in the Bank's advances ($5.7 billion), long-term investments ($0.7 billion) and mortgage loans held for portfolio ($0.9 billion), partially offset by a decrease in the Bank's short-term liquidity portfolio ($2.2 billion).

• Total advances increased from $36.5 billion at December 31, 2017 to $42.2 billion at September 30, 2018.

• Mortgage loans held for portfolio increased from $0.9 billion at December 31, 2017 to $1.8 billion at September 30, 2018.

The increase of $10.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the corresponding period in 2017 was due to a $18.5 million increase in net interest income and a $0.7 million decrease in non-interest expenses, offset by a $8.0 million negative swing in non-interest income (loss) and a $1.1 million increase in the Bank's Affordable Housing Program assessment. The increase of $21.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the corresponding period in 2017 was due to a $48.2 million increase in net interest income, offset by a $21.7 million decrease in non-interest income, a $2.4 million increase in non-interest expenses and a $2.4 million increase in the Bank's Affordable Housing Program assessment. For additional discussion, see the section entitled "Results of Operations" beginning on page 65 of this report.

⁽¹⁾  Investments consist of interest-bearing deposits, federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell, loans to other FHLBanks and securities classified as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, and trading.

⁽²⁾  The Bank is jointly and severally liable with the other FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on the consolidated obligations of all of the FHLBanks. At September 30, 2018, June 30, 2018, March 31, 2018, December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, the outstanding consolidated obligations (at par value) of all of the FHLBanks totaled approximately $1.019 trillion, $1.060 trillion, $1.019 trillion, $1.034 trillion and $1.028 trillion, respectively. As of those dates, the Bank’s outstanding consolidated obligations (at par value) were $69 billion, $71 billion, $61 billion, $64 billion and $62 billion, respectively.

⁽³⁾  Mandatorily redeemable capital stock represents capital stock that is classified as a liability under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Dividends on mandatorily redeemable capital stock are recorded as interest expense and excluded from dividends paid. Dividends paid on mandatorily redeemable capital stock totaled $6 thousand, $24 thousand, $22 thousand, $30 thousand and $47 thousand for the quarters ended September 30, 2018, June 30, 2018, March 31, 2018, December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

⁽⁴⁾  Net interest margin is net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets.

⁽⁵⁾  Net interest spread is the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

⁽⁶⁾  Return on average capital stock is derived by dividing net income by average capital stock balances excluding mandatorily redeemable capital stock.

⁽⁷⁾  The regulatory capital ratio is computed by dividing regulatory capital (the sum of capital stock — putable, mandatorily redeemable capital stock and retained earnings) by total assets at each quarter-end.

⁽⁸⁾  Dividend payout ratio is computed by dividing dividends paid by net income for each quarter.

Impact of Hurricanes and California Wildfires

In 2017, two significant hurricanes struck the continental United States. On August 25, 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall near Rockport, Texas, causing substantial flooding and other damage in southeast Texas, including the Houston metropolitan area, and lesser damage in Louisiana. Then, on September 10, 2017, Hurricane Irma made landfall near Marco Island, Florida, causing significant damage in Florida and lesser damage in other southeastern states.

In 2018, two significant hurricanes struck the continental United States. On September 14, 2018, Hurricane Florence made landfall near Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, causing severe damage in North and South Carolina, primarily as a result of freshwater flooding. Then, on October 10, 2018, Hurricane Michael made landfall near Mexico Beach, Florida, causing severe damage in the Florida Panhandle, Georgia and Alabama.

In October and December 2017, several significant wildfires destroyed thousands of homes and businesses in Northern and Southern California, respectively. Then, in the third quarter of 2018, several significant wildfires destroyed over 1,000 homes and other structures in Northern California.

Regulatory Developments

Advisory Bulletin Regarding Advance Pricing

On August 3, 2018, the Finance Agency issued an Advisory Bulletin (“AB”) that provides guidance to the FHLBanks on the methods a FHLBank may use to demonstrate and document its compliance with the minimum advance pricing requirements set forth in the Finance Agency’s regulations. Specifically, Section 1266.5(b)(1) of the Finance Agency’s regulations states “A Bank shall not price its advances to members below: (1) the marginal cost to the Bank of raising matching term and maturity funds in the marketplace, including embedded options and (2) the administrative and operating costs associated with making such advances to members.”

The AB describes several methods a FHLBank may use to demonstrate and document its compliance with the minimum pricing requirement of the regulation related to the marginal cost of raising matching term and maturity funds when a Bank-issued debt equivalent is not available in the marketplace. In addition, the AB makes clear that including only the marginal administrative and operating costs associated with making an advance in its advance pricing does not provide for an appropriate allocation of costs. Instead, the AB requires the Bank to document the portion of the Bank’s total operating expenses that are associated with making advances and to incorporate those costs into its advance pricing.

The Bank is currently evaluating the potential impact of this AB. It is possible that the provisions of the AB, which become effective on January 1, 2019, could require the Bank to increase the pricing of its advances and/or reduce its operating expenses associated with making advances. If the Bank were to increase its pricing, the demand for the Bank’s advances could decline

48

which, in turn, would negatively affect its financial condition and results of operations. A reduction in the Bank’s operating expenses could cause a reduction in service levels.

Liquidity Guidance

On August 23, 2018, the Finance Agency issued an Advisory Bulletin and accompanying supervisory letter that, together, set forth its expectations with respect to the maintenance of sufficient liquidity to enable the FHLBanks to provide advances and fund letters of credit during a sustained capital markets disruption. More specifically, the Advisory Bulletin (hereinafter referred to as the “Liquidity AB”) sets forth the Finance Agency’s expectations with respect to base case liquidity and funding gaps, among other things. The Liquidity AB sets forth ranges for the prescribed base case liquidity and funding gap measures and the supervisory letter identifies the initial thresholds within those ranges that the Finance Agency believes are appropriate in light of current market conditions. Subsequent revisions to the initial thresholds, if any, will be communicated to the FHLBanks via supervisory letters.

With respect to base case liquidity, the Liquidity AB requires each FHLBank to maintain a positive cash balance during a prescribed period of time ranging from 10 to 30 calendar days assuming no access to the market for consolidated obligations or other unsecured funding sources and the renewal of all advances that are scheduled to mature during the measurement period. Initially, the Finance Agency has indicated that it will consider a FHLBank to have adequate reserves of liquid assets if, by March 31, 2019, it maintains 10 calendar days or more of positive daily cash balances and if, by December 31, 2019, it maintains 20 calendar days or more of positive daily cash balances. The supervisory letter sets forth the cash flow assumptions to be used by the FHLBanks which include, among other things, a reserve for potential draws on standby letters of credit. Effective March 31, 2019, the Liquidity AB rescinds the Finance Agency’s March 2009 liquidity guidance, which currently requires the Bank to meet two daily liquidity standards (specifically, the 5-day renewal and 15-day roll-off scenarios that are described in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this report beginning on page 74).

Funding gaps measure the difference between a FHLBank’s assets and liabilities that are scheduled to mature during a specified period, expressed as a percentage of the FHLBank’s total assets. Depending on conditions in the financial markets, the Finance Agency believes (as stated in the Liquidity AB) that the FHLBanks should operate so as not to exceed a funding gap ratio between negative 10 percent and negative 20 percent for a three-month time horizon and between negative 25 percent and negative 35 percent for a one-year time horizon. These limits are designed to reduce the liquidity risks associated with a mismatch in a FHLBank’s asset and liability maturities, including an undue reliance on short-term debt funding, which may increase a FHLBank’s debt rollover risk. Initially, the Finance Agency has indicated that it will consider a FHLBank to have adequate liquidity to address funding gap risks if, by December 31, 2018, the FHLBank maintains a funding gap ratio of negative 15 percent or better for the three-month time horizon and negative 30 percent or better for the one-year time horizon. For purposes of calculating the funding gap ratios, the FHLBanks may include estimates of expected cash inflows, including anticipated prepayments, for mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities.

The Liquidity AB also sets forth the Finance Agency’s expectations for liquidity stress testing and contingency funding plans. Further, because the guidance encourages the FHLBanks to hold U.S. Treasury securities for liquidity purposes, it generally allows for the exclusion of those securities when calculating a FHLBank’s Core Mission Asset ratio.

To the extent this guidance requires the Bank to hold more lower-yielding assets and/or issue more longer-term, higher-cost debt, the Bank’s results of operations could be adversely impacted.

Proposed Amendments to Rule Regarding Golden Parachute and Indemnification Payments

On August 28, 2018, the Finance Agency proposed amendments to its rule on golden parachute payments (the “Golden Parachute Rule”) to address areas of supervisory concern and to reduce administrative and compliance burdens. The Golden Parachute Rule sets forth the standards that the Finance Agency would take into consideration when limiting or prohibiting golden parachute or indemnification payments by a FHLBank to an entity-affiliated party if the FHLBank were in a troubled condition, in conservatorship or receivership, or insolvent. The proposed amendments would:

• Focus these standards on payments to and agreements with executive officers, broad-based plans (such as severance plans) covering large numbers of employees, and payments to employees other than executive officers who may have engaged in certain types of wrongdoing;

• Revise and clarify definitions, exemptions and procedures to implement the Finance Agency’s supervisory approach; and

• Align procedures and outcomes of review with requirements of the Finance Agency’s rule on executive compensation.

Comments on the proposed rule were due by October 12, 2018.

49

Final Rule on Indemnification Payments

On October 4, 2018, the Finance Agency published a final rule establishing standards for identifying when an indemnification payment by a FHLBank to an officer, director, employee, or other affiliated party in connection with an administrative proceeding or civil action instituted by the Finance Agency is prohibited or permissible. The rule generally prohibits these payments except in the following circumstances:

• Premiums for any commercial liability insurance or fidelity bonds for directors and officers, to the extent that the insurance or fidelity bond covers expenses and restitution, but not a judgment in favor of the Finance Agency or a civil money penalty imposed by the Finance Agency;

• Expenses of defending an action, subject to an agreement to repay those expenses in certain instances; and

• Amounts due under an indemnification agreement entered into with a named affiliated party on or prior to September 20, 2016 (the date the rule was proposed).

The rule also outlines the process that a FHLBank’s board of directors must undertake prior to making a permitted payment. The rule became effective on November 5, 2018.

Financial Condition

The following table provides selected period-end balances as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, as well as selected average balances for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017. As shown in the table, the Bank’s total assets increased by 7.6 percent between December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2018, due primarily to increases in the Bank's advances ($5.7 billion), long-term investments ($0.7 billion) and mortgage loans held for portfolio ($0.9 billion), partially offset by a decrease in the Bank's short-term liquidity portfolio ($2.2 billion). As the Bank’s assets increased, the funding for those assets also increased. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, total consolidated obligations increased by $4.5 billion as consolidated obligation discount notes increased by $1.5 billion and consolidated obligation bonds increased by $3.0 billion.

The activity in each of the major balance sheet captions is discussed in the sections following the table.

Advances

The Bank's advances balances (at par value) increased by $5.8 billion (16.0 percent) during the first nine months of 2018, due primarily to increases in advances to the Bank's larger borrowers, including a $1.0 billion increase in advances to Comerica Bank (the Bank's largest borrower at September 30, 2018 and one of its two largest borrowers at December 31, 2017), a $0.4 billion increase in advances to Texas Capital Bank, N.A. (the Bank's second largest borrower at September 30, 2018 and its other largest borrower at December 31, 2017), and a $2.5 billion increase in advances to American General Life Insurance Company (the Bank's third largest borrower at September 30, 2018). The following table presents advances outstanding, by type of institution, as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

The Bank is required by statute and regulation to obtain sufficient collateral from members/borrowers to fully secure all advances and other extensions of credit. The Bank’s collateral arrangements with its members/borrowers and the types of collateral it accepts to secure advances are described in the 2017 10-K. To ensure the value of collateral pledged to the Bank is sufficient to secure its advances, the Bank applies various haircuts, or discounts, to determine the value of the collateral against which borrowers may borrow. From time to time, the Bank reevaluates the adequacy of its collateral haircuts under a range of stress scenarios to ensure that its collateral haircuts are sufficient to protect the Bank from credit losses on advances.

In addition, as described in the 2017 10-K, the Bank reviews the financial condition of its depository institution borrowers on at least a quarterly basis to identify any borrowers whose financial condition indicates they might pose an increased credit risk and, as needed, takes appropriate action. The Bank has not experienced any credit losses on advances since it was founded in 1932 and, based on its credit extension and collateral policies, management currently does not anticipate any credit losses on advances. Accordingly, the Bank has not provided any allowance for losses on advances.

Short-Term Liquidity Holdings

At September 30, 2018, the Bank’s short-term liquidity holdings were comprised of $4.8 billion of overnight federal funds sold, $4.2 billion of overnight reverse repurchase agreements, $1.8 billion of overnight interest-bearing deposits, $0.7 billion of U.S. Treasury Bills and $0.7 billion of U.S. Treasury Notes that were acquired with short remaining terms to maturity. At December 31, 2017, the Bank’s short-term liquidity holdings were comprised of $7.8 billion of overnight federal funds sold and $6.7 billion of overnight reverse repurchase agreements. All of the Bank's federal funds sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were transacted with domestic bank counterparties and U.S. branches of foreign financial institutions on an overnight basis. To enhance the returns provided by its short-term liquidity portfolio, the Bank began investing in overnight interest-bearing deposits during the three months ended September 30, 2018. During that period, all of the interest-bearing deposits were transacted with domestic bank counterparties. As of September 30, 2018, the Bank’s overnight federal funds sold consisted of $0.9 billion sold to counterparties rated double-A, $3.1 billion sold to counterparties rated single-A and $0.8 billion sold to counterparties rated triple-B. As of September 30, 2018, substantially all of the Bank's interest-bearing deposits were held in single-A rated domestic banks. The credit ratings presented in the two preceding sentences represent the lowest long-term rating assigned to the counterparty by Moody’s, S&P or Fitch Ratings, Ltd. (“Fitch”).

The amount of the Bank’s short-term liquidity holdings fluctuates in response to several factors, including the anticipated demand for advances, the timing and extent of advance prepayments, changes in the Bank’s deposit balances, the Bank’s pre-funding activities, prevailing conditions (or anticipated changes in conditions) in the short-term debt markets, changes in the returns provided by short-term investment alternatives relative to the Bank’s discount note funding costs, the level of liquidity needed to satisfy Finance Agency requirements and the Finance Agency's expectations with regard to the Bank's core mission achievement. For a discussion of the Finance Agency’s current liquidity requirements, see the section below entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources.” For a discussion of the Finance Agency's guidance regarding core mission achievement, see Item 1 - Business - Core Mission Achievement in the 2017 10-K. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bank's core mission asset ("CMA") ratio was 65.5 percent. In comparison, the Bank's CMA ratio was 62.9 percent for the year ended December 31, 2017.

As of September 30, 2018, the U.S. government and the issuers of the Bank's holdings of GSE debentures and GSE MBS were rated triple-A by Moody's and Fitch and AA+ by S&P. The Bank's holdings of other debentures, which were comprised of securities issued by the Private Export Funding Corporation ("PEFCO"), are currently rated triple-A by Moody's and Fitch. The PEFCO debentures are not currently rated by S&P. The credit ratings associated with the Bank's holdings of non-agency residential MBS ("RMBS") are presented in the table on page 55.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bank acquired (based on trade date) $1.9 billion of GSE commercial MBS ("CMBS"). All of the Bank's CMBS holdings are backed by multi-family loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the proceeds from maturities and paydowns of held-to-maturity securities and available-for-sale securities totaled approximately $326 million and $226 million, respectively.

54

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, there were no sales of available-for-sale securities. During this same nine-month period, the Bank sold $42 million (par value) of GSE RMBS classified as held-to-maturity securities. The gains recognized on these sales totaled $1.1 million.

The Bank is precluded by regulation from purchasing additional MBS if such purchase would cause the aggregate amortized cost of its MBS holdings to exceed 300 percent of the Bank’s total regulatory capital (the sum of its capital stock, mandatorily redeemable capital stock and retained earnings). However, the Bank is not required to sell any mortgage securities that it purchased at a time when it was in compliance with this ratio. At September 30, 2018, the Bank held $10.5 billion (amortized cost) of MBS, which represented 288 percent of its total regulatory capital as of that date. The Bank intends to continue to purchase additional GSE MBS if securities with adequate returns are available when the Bank has the regulatory capacity to increase its MBS portfolio.

In addition to MBS, the Bank is also permitted under applicable policies and regulations to purchase certain other types of highly rated, long-term, non-MBS investments (including but not limited to the non-MBS debt obligations of other GSEs, subject to certain limits). Subject to applicable regulatory limits and the constraints imposed by the Finance Agency's guidance regarding core mission achievement, the Bank may add these types of securities to its long-term investment portfolio if attractive opportunities to do so are available.

Gross unrealized losses on the Bank’s MBS investments declined from $4.9 million at December 31, 2017 to $4.5 million at September 30, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, $3.5 million of the gross unrealized losses related to the Bank’s holdings of GSE CMBS, $0.8 million related to non-agency RMBS and $0.2 million related to GSE RMBS. At September 30, 2018, gross unrealized losses associated with the Bank's non-MBS investments totaled $2.4 million.

The Bank evaluates all outstanding held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investment securities in an unrealized loss position as of the end of each calendar quarter for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). An investment security is impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost. For a summary of the Bank’s OTTI evaluation, see “Item 1. Financial Statements” (specifically, Notes 4 and 5 beginning on pages 11 and 13, respectively, of this report).

The deterioration in the U.S. housing markets that occurred primarily during the period from 2007 through 2011, as reflected during that period by declines in the values of residential real estate and higher levels of delinquencies, defaults and losses on residential mortgages, including the mortgages underlying the Bank’s non-agency RMBS, generally increased the risk that the Bank may not ultimately recover the entire cost bases of some of its non-agency RMBS. However, based upon its analysis of the securities in this portfolio, the Bank believes that the unrealized losses as of September 30, 2018 were principally the result of liquidity risk related discounts in the non-agency RMBS market and do not accurately reflect the currently likely future credit performance of the securities.

All but one of the Bank’s non-agency RMBS are rated by one or more of the following NRSROs: Moody’s, S&P and/or Fitch. The following table presents the credit ratings assigned to the Bank’s non-agency RMBS holdings as of September 30, 2018. The credit ratings presented in the table represent the lowest rating assigned to the security by Moody’s, S&P or Fitch.

At September 30, 2018, the Bank’s portfolio of non-agency RMBS was comprised of 3 securities with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $9 million that are backed by first lien fixed-rate loans and 19 securities with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $78 million that are backed by first lien option adjustable-rate mortgage (“option ARM”) loans. In comparison, as of December 31, 2017, the Bank’s portfolio of non-agency RMBS was comprised of 4 securities backed by fixed-rate loans that had an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $12 million and 19 securities backed by option ARM loans that had an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $91 million. One of the Bank's non-agency RMBS was paid in full during the three months ended September 30, 2018. A summary of the Bank’s non-agency RMBS as of December 31, 2017 by classification by the originator

55

at the time of issuance and collateral type is presented in the 2017 10-K; there were no material changes to this information during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

To assess whether the entire amortized cost bases of its non-agency RMBS are likely to be recovered, the Bank performed a cash flow analysis for each of its non-agency RMBS holdings as of September 30, 2018 under a base case (or best estimate) scenario. The procedures used in this analysis, together with the results thereof, are summarized in “Item 1. Financial Statements” (specifically, Note 5 beginning on page 13 of this report).

Since 2009, the Bank has recorded credit impairments totaling $13.1 million on 15 of its non-agency RMBS. The vast majority of these credit impairments were recorded in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Through September 30, 2018, the Bank has amortized $0.7 million of the time value associated with these credit losses. Through this same date, actual principal shortfalls on these securities have totaled $2.1 million and the Bank has recognized recoveries (i.e., increases in cash flows expected to be collected) totaling $4.4 million. Based on the cash flow analyses performed as of September 30, 2018, the Bank currently expects to recover in future periods an additional $6.8 million of the previously recorded losses. These anticipated recoveries will be accreted as interest income over the remaining lives of the applicable securities in the same manner as the recoveries that have been recorded through September 30, 2018.

In addition to evaluating its non-agency RMBS under a best estimate scenario, the Bank also performed a cash flow analysis for each of these securities as of September 30, 2018 under a more stressful housing price scenario. This more stressful scenario was based on a housing price forecast that assumed home price changes for the 12-month period beginning July 1, 2018 were 5 percentage points lower than the base case scenario followed by home price changes that are 33 percent lower than those used in the base case scenario. None of the Bank’s non-agency RMBS would have been deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired under the more stressful housing price scenario.

While substantially all of the Bank's RMBS portfolio is comprised of collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") with variable-rate coupons ($1.5 billion par value at September 30, 2018) that do not expose it to interest rate risk if interest rates rise moderately, these securities include caps that would limit increases in the variable-rate coupons if short-term interest rates rise above the caps. In addition, if interest rates rise, prepayments on the mortgage loans underlying the securities would likely decline, thus lengthening the time that the securities would remain outstanding with their coupon rates capped. As of September 30, 2018, one-month LIBOR was 2.26 percent and the effective interest rate caps on one-month LIBOR (the interest cap rate minus the stated spread on the coupon) embedded in the CMO floaters ranged from 5.95 percent to 10.73 percent. The largest concentration of embedded effective caps ($1.2 billion) was between 6.00 percent and 6.50 percent. As of September 30, 2018, one-month LIBOR rates were 369 basis points below the lowest effective interest rate cap embedded in the CMO floaters. To hedge a portion of the potential cap risk embedded in these securities, the Bank held $1.0 billion of interest rate caps with remaining maturities ranging from 5 months to 35 months as of September 30, 2018, and strike rates of 6.50 percent. If three-month LIBOR rises above 6.5 percent, the Bank will be entitled to receive interest payments according to the terms and conditions of such agreements. These payments would be based upon the notional amounts of those agreements and the difference between 6.50 percent and three-month LIBOR.

The following table provides a summary of the notional amounts and expiration periods of the Bank’s portfolio of stand-alone CMO-related interest rate cap agreements as of September 30, 2018.

SUMMARY OF CMO-RELATED INTEREST RATE CAP AGREEMENTS

Expiration	Notional Amount
First quarter 2019	$	250
Third quarter 2021 (1)	750
	$	1,000

Mortgage Loans Held For Portfolio

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, mortgage loans held for portfolio (net of allowance for credit losses) were $1.795 billion and $878 million, respectively, representing approximately 2.4 percent and 1.3 percent, respectively, of the Bank’s total assets at each of those dates. Through the MPF program, the Bank currently invests in only conventional residential mortgage loans originated by its Participating Financial Institutions ("PFIs"). During the period from 1998 to

56

mid-2003, the Bank purchased conventional mortgage loans and government-guaranteed/insured mortgage loans (i.e., those insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration or the Department of Veterans Affairs). The Bank resumed acquiring conventional mortgage loans under this program in early 2016. Approximately $1.736 billion of the $1.753 billion (unpaid principal balance) of mortgage loans on the Bank's balance sheet at September 30, 2018 were conventional loans, the vast majority of which were acquired since 2016. The remaining $17 million (unpaid principal balance) of the mortgage loan portfolio is comprised of government-guaranteed or government-insured loans that were acquired during the period from 1998 to mid-2003.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bank acquired mortgage loans totaling $985 million ($967 million unpaid principal balance). During the first, second and third quarters of 2018, the Bank acquired mortgage loans totaling $157 million, $317 million and $493 million (unpaid principal balances), respectively. All of the acquired mortgage loans were originated by certain of the Bank's PFIs and the Bank acquired a 100 percent interest in such loans.

The Bank manages the liquidity, interest rate and prepayment risk of these loans, while the PFIs or their designees retain the servicing activities. The Bank and the PFIs share in the credit risk of the loans with the Bank assuming the first loss obligation limited by the First Loss Account (“FLA”), and the PFIs assuming credit losses in excess of the FLA, up to the amount of the required credit enhancement obligation ("CE Obligation") as specified in the master agreement (“Second Loss Credit Enhancement”). The FLA is a memo account that is used to track the Bank's exposure to losses until the CE Obligation is available to cover losses. The CE Obligation is the amount of credit enhancement needed for a master commitment to have an estimated rating that is equivalent to an investment grade rated MBS. Credit enhancement levels are set by the Bank using an NRSRO model and are currently set at a triple-B equivalent. The Bank assumes all losses in excess of the Second Loss Credit Enhancement.

Under the Finance Agency’s Acquired Member Asset regulation (12 C.F.R. part 1268) (“AMA Regulation”), any portion of the CE Obligation that is a PFI’s direct liability must be collateralized by the PFI in the same way that advances are collateralized. Accordingly, the PFI Agreement provides that the PFI’s obligations under the PFI Agreement are secured along with other obligations of the PFI under its regular advances agreement with the Bank and, further, that the Bank may request additional collateral to secure the PFI’s obligations. PFIs are paid credit enhancement fees (“CE fees”) as compensation for retaining a portion of the credit risk on the loans sold to the Bank, as an incentive to minimize credit losses on those loans, to share in the risk of loss on MPF loans and, in limited cases related to loans acquired prior to 2016, to pay for supplemental mortgage insurance, rather than paying a guaranty fee to other secondary market purchasers. CE fees are paid monthly and are determined based on the remaining unpaid principal balance of the MPF loans during the applicable month. CE fees are recorded as a reduction to mortgage loan interest income when paid by the Bank. During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, mortgage loan interest income was reduced by CE fees totaling $362,000 and $102,000, respectively. Mortgage loan interest income was reduced by CE fees totaling $885,000 and $174,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Bank's allowance for loan losses, which factors in the CE obligation, was $382,000 and $271,000 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Over time, the Bank intends to increase the balance of its mortgage loan portfolio to an amount that approximates 10 percent of its total assets. For the foreseeable future, the Bank intends to acquire a 100 percent interest in the mortgage loans that it purchases from its PFIs.

Consolidated Obligations and Deposits

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bank’s outstanding consolidated obligation bonds (at par value) increased by $3.2 billion and its outstanding consolidated obligation discount notes increased by $1.5 billion. The following table presents the composition of the Bank’s outstanding bonds at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

During the first nine months of 2018, the Bank issued $17.4 billion of consolidated obligation bonds and approximately $104.6 billion of consolidated obligation discount notes (excluding those with overnight terms), the proceeds of which were used primarily to fund the growth in the Bank's assets and to replace maturing consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, discount notes comprised approximately 50 percent and 51 percent, respectively, of the Bank's total outstanding consolidated obligations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bank's bond issuance (based on par value) consisted of approximately $9.6 billion of variable-rate bonds, $3.1 billion of fixed-rate non-callable bonds (most of which were swapped), and $4.7 billion of swapped fixed-rate callable bonds (including step-up bonds).

The weighted average cost of swapped and variable-rate consolidated obligation bonds issued by the Bank approximated LIBOR minus 24 basis points during the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to LIBOR minus 19 basis points during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and LIBOR minus 20 basis points during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

The cost of the Bank's discount notes increased during the first nine months of 2018 as a result of anticipated and then actual increases in the target federal funds rate.

Demand and term deposits were $1.016 billion and $844 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The size of the Bank’s deposit base varies as market factors change, including the attractiveness of the Bank’s deposit pricing relative to the rates available to members on alternative money market investments, members’ investment preferences with respect to the maturity of their investments, and member liquidity.

Capital

The Bank’s outstanding capital stock (excluding mandatorily redeemable capital stock) was $2.6 billion and $2.3 billion at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The Bank’s average outstanding capital stock (excluding mandatorily redeemable capital stock) increased from $2.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2017 to $2.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Mandatorily redeemable capital stock outstanding at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $6.9 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Although mandatorily redeemable capital stock is excluded from capital (equity) for financial reporting purposes, it is considered capital for regulatory purposes.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank’s five largest shareholders collectively held $644 million and $482 million, respectively, of capital stock, which represented 24.6 percent and 20.7 percent, respectively, of the Bank’s total outstanding capital stock (including mandatorily redeemable capital stock) as of those dates. The following table presents the Bank’s five largest shareholders as of September 30, 2018.

Members are required to maintain an investment in Class B Stock equal to the sum of a membership investment requirement and an activity-based investment requirement. The membership investment requirement is currently 0.04 percent of each member’s total assets as of the previous calendar year-end, subject to a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $7,000,000. The activity-based investment requirement is currently 4.1 percent of outstanding advances, except for advances that were funded under the Bank's special reduced stock advances offering that ran from October 21, 2015 through December 31, 2015. The activity-based investment requirement for those advances was (and continues to be) 2.0 percent of the outstanding advances. At September 30, 2018, these advances totaled approximately $1.2 billion. Class B-1 Stock is used to meet the membership investment requirement and Class B-2 Stock is used to meet the activity-based investment requirement.

Quarterly, the Bank generally repurchases a portion of members’ excess capital stock. Excess capital stock is defined as the amount of stock held by a member (or former member) in excess of that institution’s minimum investment requirement. The portion of members’ excess capital stock subject to repurchase is known as surplus stock. For the repurchases that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, surplus stock was defined as the amount of stock held by a member shareholder in excess of 125 percent of the shareholder’s minimum investment requirement. For those repurchases, which occurred on March 27, 2018, June 26, 2018 and September 24, 2018, a shareholder's surplus stock was not repurchased if: (1) the amount of that shareholder's surplus stock was $2,500,000 or less; (2) the shareholder elected to opt-out of the repurchase; or (3) the shareholder was on restricted collateral status (subject to certain exceptions). On March 27, 2018, June 26, 2018 and September 24, 2018, the Bank repurchased surplus stock totaling $233.7 million, $99.3 million and $223.8 million, respectively, none of which was classified as mandatorily redeemable capital stock at those dates.

59

On March 27, 2018, June 26, 2018 and September 24, 2018, the Bank also repurchased all excess stock held by non-member shareholders as of those dates. This excess stock, all of which was classified as mandatorily redeemable capital stock at those dates, totaled $5.4 million, $22,000 and $20,000, respectively.

At September 30, 2018, the Bank’s excess stock totaled $580.8 million, which represented 0.79 percent of the Bank’s total assets as of that date.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bank’s retained earnings increased by $100 million, from $942 million to $1.042 billion. During this same period, the Bank paid dividends on capital stock totaling $40.8 million, which represented a weighted average annualized dividend rate of 2.29 percent. The Bank’s first quarter dividends on Class B-1 Stock and Class B-2 Stock were paid at annualized rates of 1.33 percent (a rate equal to average one-month LIBOR for the fourth quarter of 2017) and 2.33 percent (a rate equal to average one-month LIBOR for the fourth quarter of 2017 plus 1.0 percent), respectively. The first quarter dividends, which were applied to average Class B-1 Stock and average Class B-2 Stock held during the period from October 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017, were paid on March 28, 2018. The Bank's second quarter dividends on Class B-1 Stock and Class B-2 Stock were paid at annualized rates of 1.65 percent (a rate equal to average one-month LIBOR for the first quarter of 2018) and 2.65 percent (a rate equal to average one-month LIBOR for the first quarter of 2018 plus 1.0 percent), respectively. The second quarter dividends, which were applied to average Class B-1 Stock and average Class B-2 Stock held during the period from January 1, 2018 through March 31, 2018, were paid on June 27, 2018. The Bank's third quarter dividends on Class B-1 Stock and Class B-2 Stock were paid at annualized rates of 1.97 percent (a rate equal to average one-month LIBOR for the second quarter of 2018) and 2.97 percent (a rate equal to average one-month LIBOR for the second quarter of 2018 plus 1.0 percent), respectively. The third quarter dividends, which were applied to average Class B-1 Stock and average Class B-2 Stock held during the period from April 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018, were paid on September 25, 2018.

While there can be no assurances, taking into consideration its current earnings expectations and anticipated market conditions, the Bank currently expects to pay quarterly dividends on Class B-1 Stock during the fourth quarter of 2018 at an annualized rate equal to average one-month LIBOR for the third quarter of 2018. Further, the Bank currently expects to pay quarterly dividends on Class B-2 Stock during the fourth quarter of 2018 at an annualized rate equal to average one-month LIBOR for the third quarter of 2018 plus 1.0 percent.

The Bank is required to maintain at all times permanent capital in an amount at least equal to its risk-based capital requirement, which is the sum of its credit risk capital requirement, its market risk capital requirement, and its operations risk capital requirement, as further described in the 2017 10-K. Permanent capital is defined under the Finance Agency’s rules as retained earnings and amounts paid in for Class B stock (which for the Bank includes both Class B-1 Stock and Class B-2 Stock), regardless of its classification as equity or liabilities for financial reporting purposes. At September 30, 2018, the Bank’s total risk-based capital requirement was $1.044 billion, comprised of credit risk, market risk and operations risk capital requirements of $465 million, $338 million and $241 million, respectively, and its permanent capital was $3.657 billion.

In addition to the risk-based capital requirement, the Bank is subject to two other capital requirements. First, the Bank must, at all times, maintain a minimum total capital-to-assets ratio of 4.0 percent. For this purpose, total capital is defined by Finance Agency rules and regulations as the Bank’s permanent capital and the amount of any general allowance for losses (i.e., those reserves that are not held against specific assets). Second, the Bank is required to maintain at all times a minimum leverage capital-to-assets ratio in an amount at least equal to 5.0 percent of its total assets. In applying this requirement to the Bank, leverage capital includes the Bank’s permanent capital multiplied by a factor of 1.5 plus the amount of any general allowance for losses. The Bank did not have any general allowance for losses at September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017. Under the regulatory definitions, total capital and permanent capital exclude accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). At all times during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bank was in compliance with all of its regulatory capital requirements. At September 30, 2018, the Bank's total capital-to-assets and leverage capital-to-assets ratios were 4.96 percent and 7.44 percent, respectively. For a summary of the Bank’s compliance with the Finance Agency’s capital requirements as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, see “Item 1. Financial Statements” (specifically, Note 13 on page 33 of this report).

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Bank enters into interest rate swap, swaption, cap, floor and forward rate agreements (collectively, interest rate exchange agreements) to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates and/or to adjust the effective maturity, repricing index and/or frequency or option characteristics of financial instruments. This use of derivatives is integral to the Bank’s financial management strategy, and the impact of these interest rate exchange agreements permeates the Bank’s financial statements. For additional discussion, see “Item 1. Financial Statements” (specifically, Note 12 beginning on page 26 of this report).

The following table provides the notional balances of the Bank’s derivative instruments, by balance sheet category and accounting designation, as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

As a result of statutory and regulatory requirements emanating from the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), certain derivative transactions that the Bank enters into are required to be cleared through a third-party central clearinghouse. As of September 30, 2018, the Bank had cleared trades outstanding with notional amounts totaling $28.2 billion. Cleared trades are subject to initial and variation margin requirements established by the clearinghouse and its clearing members. Collateral (or variation margin on daily settled derivative contracts) is typically delivered/paid (or returned/received) daily and, unlike bilateral derivatives, is not subject to any maximum unsecured credit exposure thresholds. The fair values of all interest rate derivatives (including accrued interest receivables and payables) with each clearing member of each clearinghouse are offset for purposes of measuring credit exposure and determining initial and variation margin requirements. With cleared transactions, the Bank is exposed to credit risk in the event that the clearinghouse or the clearing member fails to meet its obligations to the Bank. The Bank has determined that the exercise by a non-defaulting party of the setoff rights incorporated in its cleared derivative transactions should be upheld in the event of a default, including a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving the clearinghouse or any of its clearing members or both.

The Bank has transacted some of its interest rate exchange agreements bilaterally with large financial institutions (with which it has in place master agreements). In doing so, the Bank has generally exchanged a defined market risk for the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligations in the future. The Bank manages this credit risk by spreading its transactions among as many highly rated counterparties as is practicable, by entering into master agreements with each of its non-member bilateral counterparties that include maximum unsecured credit exposure thresholds ranging from $100,000 to $500,000, and by monitoring its exposure to each counterparty on a daily basis. In addition, all of the Bank’s master agreements with its bilateral counterparties include netting arrangements whereby the fair values of all interest rate derivatives (including accrued interest receivables and payables) with each counterparty are offset for purposes of measuring credit exposure. As of September 30, 2018, the notional balances of outstanding interest rate exchange agreements transacted with non-member bilateral counterparties totaled $16.6 billion.

Under the Bank’s master agreements with its non-member bilateral counterparties, the unsecured credit exposure thresholds must be met before collateral is required to be delivered by one party to the other party. Once the counterparties agree to the valuations of the interest rate exchange agreements, and if it is determined that the unsecured credit exposure exceeds the threshold, then, upon a request made by the unsecured counterparty, the party that has the unsecured obligation to the counterparty bearing the risk of the unsecured credit exposure generally must deliver sufficient collateral (or return a sufficient amount of previously remitted collateral) to reduce the unsecured credit exposure to zero (or, in the case of pledged securities, to an amount equal to the discount applied to the securities under the terms of the master agreement). Collateral is delivered (or returned) daily when these thresholds are met. The master agreements with the Bank's non-member bilateral counterparties require the delivery of collateral consisting of cash or very liquid, highly rated securities (generally consisting of U.S. government-guaranteed or agency debt securities) if credit risk exposures rise above the thresholds.

The notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements does not reflect the Bank’s credit risk exposure, which is much less than the notional amount. The Bank's net credit risk exposure is based on the current estimated cost, on a present value basis, of replacing at current market rates all interest rate exchange agreements with individual counterparties, if those counterparties were to default, after taking into account the value of any cash and/or securities collateral held or remitted by the Bank. For counterparties with which the Bank is in a net gain position, the Bank has credit exposure when the collateral it is holding (if any) has a value less than the amount of the gain. For counterparties with which the Bank is in a net loss position, the Bank has credit exposure when it has delivered collateral with a value greater than the amount of the loss position.

⁽³⁾  This clearinghouse counterparty is rated double-A.

⁽⁴⁾  The figures for the liability positions with credit exposure for the single-A rated counterparties included transactions with an entity that is affiliated with a non-member shareholder of the Bank. Transactions with that counterparty had an aggregate notional principal of $433 million and a credit exposure of $287,000 as of September 30, 2018. The figures for the liability positions without credit exposure included transactions with a counterparty that is affiliated with the same non-member shareholder of the Bank and transactions with another counterparty that is affiliated with a member institution. Transactions with those counterparties had an aggregate notional principal of $1.4 billion as of September 30, 2018.

⁽⁵⁾  This clearinghouse counterparty is rated single-A.

⁽⁶⁾  This product offering and the collateral provisions associated therewith are discussed in the paragraph below.

The Bank offers interest rate swaps, caps and floors to its members to assist them in meeting their risk management objectives. In derivative transactions with its members, the Bank acts as an intermediary by entering into an interest rate exchange agreement with the member and then entering into an offsetting interest rate exchange agreement with one of the Bank’s non-member derivative counterparties discussed above. When entering into interest rate exchange agreements with its members, the Bank requires the member to post eligible collateral in an amount equal to the sum of the net market value of the member’s derivative transactions with the Bank (if the value is positive to the Bank) plus a percentage of the notional amount of any interest rate swaps, with market values determined on at least a monthly basis. Eligible collateral for derivative transactions consists of collateral that is eligible to secure advances and other obligations under the member’s Advances and Security Agreement with the Bank.

The Dodd-Frank Act changed the regulatory framework for derivative transactions that are not subject to mandatory clearing requirements (uncleared trades). While the Bank expects to be able in certain instances to continue to enter into uncleared trades

64

on a bilateral basis, those transactions will be subject to new regulatory requirements, including minimum initial margin requirements imposed by regulators. For additional discussion, see Item 1 - Business - Legislative and Regulatory Developments in the 2017 10-K.

Market Value of Equity

The ratio of the Bank’s estimated market value of equity to its book value of equity was approximately 101 percent and 102 percent at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. For additional discussion, see “Part I / Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Interest Rate Risk.”

Results of Operations

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $50.1 million and $40.0 million, respectively. The Bank’s net income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 represented an annualized return on average capital stock (“ROCS”) of 7.53 percent. In comparison, the Bank’s ROCS was 7.12 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $140.6 million and $118.9 million, respectively. The Bank’s net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 represented an annualized return on average capital stock of 7.47 percent. In comparison, the Bank’s ROCS was 7.56 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. To derive the Bank’s ROCS, net income is divided by average capital stock outstanding excluding stock that is classified as mandatorily redeemable capital stock. The factors contributing to the changes in the Bank's net income are discussed below.

Income Before Assessments

During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Bank’s income before assessments was $55.6 million and $44.5 million, respectively. As discussed in more detail below, the $11.1 million increase in income before assessments from period to period was attributable to a $18.4 million increase in net interest income and a $0.7 million decrease in other expense, offset by a $8.0 million negative swing in other income (loss). During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Bank’s income before assessments was $156.3 million and $132.1 million, respectively. As discussed in more detail below, the $24.2 million increase in income before assessments from period to period was attributable to a $48.3 million increase in net interest income, offset by a $21.7 million decrease in other income and a $2.4 million increase in other expense. The components of income before assessments (net interest income, other income/loss and other expense) are discussed in more detail in the following sections.

Net Interest Income

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bank’s net interest income (after provision for mortgage loan losses) was $80.9 million and $225.0 million, respectively, compared to net interest income of $62.5 million and $176.7 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2017. The increase in net interest income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2017 was due primarily to an increase in the average balances of the Bank's interest-earning assets and an increase in the impact of the Bank's non-interest bearing funds. The Bank's average balance of interest-earning assets increased from $64.0 billion and $59.7 billion during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, to $71.9 billion and $67.3 billion, respectively, during the comparable periods in 2018.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Bank’s net interest margin was 45 basis points and 39 basis points, respectively. The Bank’s net interest margin was 45 basis points and 40 basis points, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. Net interest margin, or net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets, is a function of net interest spread and the rates of return on assets funded by the investment of the Bank’s capital. Net interest spread is the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank’s net interest spread was 33 basis points and 32 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Bank’s net interest spread was 33 basis points and 34 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The contribution of earnings from the Bank’s invested capital to the net interest margin (the impact of non-interest bearing funds) was 12 basis points during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 7 basis points and 6 basis points during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The increase in the impact of non-interest bearing funds is primarily due to the increase in short-term interest rates between the comparable periods, as well as an increase in the average balance of earning assets funded by the Bank's capital.

Fair Value Hedge Ineffectiveness

The Bank uses interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of some of its advances and consolidated obligation bonds and, currently, all of its available-for-sale securities. These hedging relationships are designated as fair value hedges. To the extent these relationships qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the fair values of both the derivative (the interest rate swap) and the hedged item (limited to changes attributable to the hedged risk) are recorded in earnings. For those relationships that qualified for hedge accounting, the differences between the change in fair value of the hedged items and the change in fair value of the associated interest rate swaps (representing hedge ineffectiveness) were net gains (losses) of $1.2 million and $(1.6) million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $15.8 million and $(6.0) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. A significant portion of the increase in fair value hedge ineffectiveness for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was related to the Bank's available-for-sale securities portfolio and that portion of the increase was due primarily to the comparably higher variability in long-term interest rates during the early part of 2018. To the extent that the Bank's fair value hedging relationships do not qualify for hedge accounting, or cease to qualify because they are determined to be ineffective, only the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in earnings (in this case, there is no offsetting change in fair value of the hedged item). For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the net gains (losses) on derivatives associated with specific advances, available-for-sale securities and consolidated obligation bonds that did not qualify for hedge accounting, or ceased to qualify because they were determined to be ineffective, totaled $(141,000) and $30,000, respectively. The net gains (losses) on derivatives associated with specific advances, available-for-sale securities and consolidated obligation bonds that were not in qualifying hedging relationships totaled $(37,000) and $8,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The addition of higher yielding, longer duration fixed-rate GSE CMBS and GSE debentures to the Bank’s available-for-sale securities portfolio since 2014 (all of which have been hedged with fixed-for-floating interest rate swaps in long-haul hedging relationships) has generally increased its exposure to periodic earnings variability in the form of fair value hedge ineffectiveness. The hedge ineffectiveness gains and losses associated with these particular relationships are attributable in large part to the use of different discount curves to value the interest rate swaps (OIS) and the GSE CMBS/GSE debentures (LIBOR plus a constant spread). Notwithstanding the hedge ineffectiveness gains and losses, these hedging relationships have been, and are expected to continue to be, highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair values attributable to the hedged risk. While the ineffectiveness-related gains and losses associated with these hedging relationships can be significant when evaluated in the context of the Bank’s net income, they are relatively small when expressed as a percentage of the values of the positions. Because the Bank expects to hold these interest rate swaps to maturity, the unrealized ineffectiveness-related gains (or losses) associated with its holdings of GSE CMBS and GSE debentures are expected to be transitory, meaning that they will reverse in future periods in the form of ineffectiveness-related losses (or gains).

Economic Hedge Derivatives

Notwithstanding the transitory nature of the ineffectiveness-related gains and losses associated with the Bank's available-for-sale securities portfolio (discussed above), the Bank has entered into several derivative transactions in an effort to mitigate a portion of the periodic earnings variability that can result from those fair value hedging relationships. For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the gains (losses) associated with stand-alone economic hedge derivatives used for this purpose were $(4.5) million and $0.4 million, respectively. The gains (losses) associated with stand-alone economic hedge derivatives used for this purpose were $(15.9) million and $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

From time to time, the Bank has entered into interest rate basis swaps to reduce its exposure to changing spreads between one-month and three-month LIBOR. Under these agreements, the Bank generally either receives three-month LIBOR and pays one-month LIBOR or receives one-month LIBOR and pays three-month LIBOR. The Bank accounts for interest rate basis swaps as stand-alone derivatives and, as such, the fair value changes associated with these instruments can be a source of volatility in the Bank’s earnings, particularly when one-month and/or three-month LIBOR, or the spreads between these two indices, are or are projected to be volatile. The fair values of one-month LIBOR to three-month LIBOR basis swaps generally fluctuate based on the timing of the interest rate reset dates, the relationship between one-month LIBOR and three-month LIBOR at the time of measurement, the projected relationship between one-month LIBOR and three-month LIBOR for the remaining term of the interest rate basis swap, the projected overnight index swap rates over the remaining term of the interest rate basis swap and the relationship between the current coupons for the interest rate swap and the prevailing LIBOR rates at the valuation date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Bank was a party to one interest rate basis swap with a notional amount of $1.0 billion. This swap agreement expired in May 2017. The Bank was not a party to any interest rate basis swaps during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

As discussed previously in the section entitled “Financial Condition — Long-Term Investments,” to hedge a portion of the risk associated with a significant increase in short-term interest rates, the Bank held, as of September 30, 2018, two interest rate cap agreements having a total notional amount of $1.0 billion. The premiums paid for these caps totaled $3.1 million. The fair

71

values of interest rate cap agreements are dependent upon the level of interest rates, volatilities and remaining term to maturity. In general (assuming constant volatilities and no erosion in value attributable to the passage of time), interest rate caps will increase in value as market interest rates rise and will diminish in value as market interest rates decline. The value of interest rate caps will increase as volatilities increase and will decline as volatilities decrease. Absent changes in volatilities or interest rates, the value of interest rate caps will decline with the passage of time. As stand-alone derivatives, the changes in the fair values of the Bank’s interest rate cap agreements are recorded in earnings with no offsetting changes in the fair values of the hedged CMO LIBOR floaters with embedded caps and therefore can also be a source of volatility in the Bank’s earnings. At September 30, 2018, the carrying values of the Bank’s stand-alone interest rate cap agreements totaled $9,000.

From time to time, the Bank hedges the risk of changes in the fair value of some of its longer-term consolidated obligation discount notes using fixed-for-floating interest rate swaps. As stand-alone derivatives, the changes in the fair values of the Bank’s discount note swaps are recorded in earnings with no offsetting changes in the fair values of the hedged items (i.e., the consolidated obligation discount notes) and therefore can also be a source of volatility in the Bank’s earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bank did not have any outstanding discount note swaps that were used for this purpose.

As discussed previously in the section entitled “Financial Condition — Derivatives and Hedging Activities," the Bank offers interest rate swaps, caps and floors to its members to assist them in meeting their risk management objectives. In derivative transactions with its members, the Bank acts as an intermediary by entering into an interest rate exchange agreement with the member and then entering into an offsetting interest rate exchange agreement with one of the Bank’s non-member derivative counterparties. The net change in the fair values of derivatives transacted with members and the offsetting derivatives was $(22,000) and $(102,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $(157,000) and $3,493,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Price Alignment Amount

Effective January 3, 2017, one of the Bank's two clearinghouse counterparties made certain amendments to its rulebook that changed the legal characterization of variation margin payments on cleared derivatives to settlements on the contracts. Effective January 16, 2018, the Bank's other clearinghouse counterparty made similar amendments to its rulebook. Prior to the dates upon which these amendments became effective, the variation margin payments were in each case characterized as collateral pledged to secure outstanding credit exposure on the derivative contracts. The Bank receives or pays a price alignment amount on the cumulative variation margin payments associated with these contracts. The price alignment amount approximates the amount of interest the Bank would have received or paid had the variation margin payments continued to be characterized as collateral.

Other

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Bank sold approximately $42 million (par value) and $163 million (par value), respectively, of GSE RMBS classified as held-to-maturity securities. The aggregate gains recognized on these sales totaled $1.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively. For each of these securities, the Bank had previously collected at least 85 percent of the principal outstanding at the time of acquisition. As such, the sales were considered maturities for purposes of security classification. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Bank also sold approximately $260 million (par value) of shorter maturity GSE debentures classified as available-for-sale. The aggregate gains recognized on these sales totaled $1.8 million. There were no other sales of long-term investment securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 or 2017.

During 2017 and the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bank held a fixed-rate U.S. Treasury Note with a par value of $104.8 million that was classified as trading. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bank acquired U.S. Treasury Bills with an aggregate par value of $700 million and U.S. Treasury Notes with an aggregate par value of $750 million, all of which are classified as trading securities. Due to fluctuations in interest rates, the aggregate unrealized gains (losses) on the U.S. Treasury Notes and U.S. Treasury Bills were $(1.6) million and $(0.1) million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $(4.5) million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Letter of credit fees totaled $2.4 million and $6.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to $2.1 million and $5.5 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2017. The increase in letter of credit fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2017, was due to an increase in the amount of letters of credit outstanding. At September 30, 2018 and 2017, outstanding letters of credit totaled $17.2 billion and $14.4 billion, respectively.

72

Other Expense

Total other expense, which includes the Bank’s compensation and benefits, other operating expenses, discretionary grants and donations, derivative clearing fees and its proportionate share of the costs of operating the Finance Agency and the Office of Finance, totaled $22.8 million and $69.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to $23.5 million and $66.5 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2017.

Compensation and benefits were $12.5 million and $36.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to $12.6 million and $38.7 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2017. The decrease in compensation and benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the corresponding period in 2017, was due largely to decreases in employee medical costs and employee separation costs. The Bank's average headcount was 200 employees and 209 employees for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. At September 30, 2018, the Bank employed 200 people, a decrease of 5 employees from December 31, 2017.

Other operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $7.6 million and $23.7 million, respectively, compared to $6.6 million and $18.4 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2017. The increase in other operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2017, resulted primarily from increased usage of independent contractors to support various information technology initiatives in the Bank and higher legal fees.

Discretionary grants and donations were $0.4 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to $2.1 million and $3.3 million for the corresponding periods in 2017. The decrease in discretionary grants and donations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2017, was due largely to the timing of grants and donations that were made to support recovery efforts in the areas impacted by Hurricane Harvey. In early September 2017, the Bank announced that it would make $6.7 million in funds available for special disaster relief grants for members' employees and small businesses affected by the hurricane, as well as community-based organizations that were involved in recovery efforts. At the same time, the Bank also announced that it would provide $0.8 million in donations to a number of organizations to assist with disaster relief efforts. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bank disbursed hurricane-related grants and donations totaling $0 and $1.0 million, respectively, as compared to $1.8 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 (the other funds were disbursed in the fourth quarter of 2017). In addition, in the first quarter of 2017, the Bank awarded $0.4 million in special disaster relief grants for victims of the 2016 Louisiana floods.

Derivative clearing fees were $0.3 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and $0.9 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

The Bank, together with the other FHLBanks, is assessed for the costs of operating the Finance Agency and the Office of Finance. The Bank’s share of these expenses totaled approximately $2.0 million and $5.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to $1.9 million and $5.2 million for the corresponding periods in 2017.

AHP Assessments

While the Bank is exempt from all federal, state and local income taxes, it is obligated to set aside amounts for its Affordable Housing Program (“AHP”).

As required by statute, each year the Bank contributes 10 percent of its earnings (as adjusted for interest expense on mandatorily redeemable capital stock) to its AHP. The AHP provides grants that members can use to support affordable housing projects in their communities. Generally, the Bank’s AHP assessment is derived by adding interest expense on mandatorily redeemable capital stock to income before assessments; the result of this calculation is then multiplied by 10 percent. The Bank’s AHP assessments totaled $5.6 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $15.6 million and $13.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A discussion of the Bank’s critical accounting policies and the extent to which management uses judgment and estimates in applying those policies is provided in the 2017 10-K. There were no substantive changes to the Bank’s critical accounting policies, or the extent to which management uses judgment and estimates in applying those policies, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In order to meet members’ credit needs and the Bank’s financial obligations, the Bank maintains a portfolio of money market instruments typically consisting of overnight federal funds, overnight reverse repurchase agreements and, beginning in the third quarter of 2018, overnight interest-bearing deposits. From time to time, the Bank may also invest in short-term commercial paper, U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. Treasury Notes and GSE discount notes. Beyond those amounts that are required to meet members’ credit needs and its own obligations, the Bank typically holds additional balances of short-term investments that fluctuate as the Bank invests the proceeds of debt issued to replace maturing and called liabilities, as the balance of deposits changes, as the returns provided by short-term investments vary relative to the costs of the Bank’s discount notes, and as the level of liquidity needed to satisfy Finance Agency requirements changes. At September 30, 2018, the Bank’s short-term liquidity portfolio was comprised of $4.8 billion of overnight federal funds sold, $4.2 billion of overnight reverse repurchase agreements, $1.8 billion of overnight interest-bearing deposits, $0.7 billion of U.S. Treasury Bills and $0.7 billion of U.S. Treasury Notes with short remaining terms to maturity.

The Bank’s primary source of funds is the proceeds it receives from the issuance of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes in the capital markets. Historically, the FHLBanks have issued debt throughout the business day in the form of discount notes and bonds with a wide variety of maturities and structures. Generally, the Bank has access to the capital markets as needed during the business day to acquire funds to meet its needs.

In addition to the liquidity provided from the proceeds of the issuance of consolidated obligations, the Bank also maintains access to wholesale funding sources such as federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase (e.g., borrowings secured by its investments in MBS and/or agency debentures). Furthermore, the Bank has access to borrowings (typically short-term) from the other FHLBanks.

The 11 FHLBanks and the Office of Finance are parties to the Federal Home Loan Banks P&I Funding and Contingency Plan Agreement, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2017 (the “Contingency Agreement”). The Contingency Agreement and related procedures are designed to facilitate the timely funding of principal and interest payments on FHLBank System consolidated obligations in the event that a FHLBank is not able to meet its funding obligations in a timely manner. The Contingency Agreement and related procedures provide for the issuance of overnight consolidated obligations ("Plan COs") directly to one or more FHLBanks that provide funds to avoid a shortfall in the timely payment of principal and interest on any consolidated obligations for which another FHLBank is the primary obligor. The direct placement by a FHLBank of consolidated obligations with another FHLBank is permitted only in those instances when direct placement of consolidated obligations is necessary to ensure that sufficient funds are available to timely pay all principal and interest on FHLBank System consolidated obligations due on a particular day. Through the date of this report, no Plan COs have ever been issued pursuant to the terms of the Contingency Agreement.

On occasion, and as an alternative to issuing new debt, the Bank may assume the outstanding consolidated obligations for which other FHLBanks are the original primary obligors. This occurs in cases where the original primary obligor may have participated in a large consolidated obligation issue to an extent that exceeded its immediate funding needs in order to facilitate better market execution for the issue. The original primary obligor might then warehouse the funds until they were needed, or make the funds available to other FHLBanks. Transfers may also occur when the original primary obligor’s funding needs change, and that FHLBank offers to transfer debt that is no longer needed to other FHLBanks. Transferred debt is typically fixed-rate, fixed-term, non-callable debt, and may be in the form of discount notes or bonds.

The Bank participates in such transfers of funding from other FHLBanks when the transfer represents favorable pricing relative to a new issue of consolidated obligations with similar features. The Bank did not assume any consolidated obligations from other FHLBanks during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 or 2017.

The Bank manages its liquidity to ensure that, at a minimum, it has sufficient funds to meet operational and contingent liquidity requirements. When measuring its liquidity for these purposes, the Bank includes only contractual cash flows and the amount of funds it estimates would be available in the event the Bank were to use securities held in its long-term investment portfolio as collateral for repurchase agreements. While it believes purchased federal funds might be available as a source of funds, it does not include this potential source of funds in its calculations of available liquidity.

The Bank’s operational liquidity requirement stipulates that it have sufficient funds to meet its obligations due on any given day plus an amount equal to the statistically estimated (at the 99-percent confidence level) cash and credit needs of its members and associates for one business day during a stress period of elevated advances demand without accessing the capital markets for the sale of consolidated obligations. As of September 30, 2018, the Bank’s estimated operational liquidity requirement was $7.3 billion. At that date, the Bank estimated that its operational liquidity exceeded this requirement by approximately $19.3 billion.

74

The Bank’s contingent liquidity requirement further requires that it maintain adequate balance sheet liquidity and access to other funding sources should it be unable to issue consolidated obligations for five business days during a stress period of elevated advances demand. The combination of funds available from these sources must be sufficient for the Bank to meet its obligations as they come due and the cash and credit needs of its members, with the potential needs of members statistically estimated at the 99-percent confidence level. As of September 30, 2018, the Bank’s estimated contingent liquidity requirement was $10.1 billion. At that date, the Bank estimated that its contingent liquidity exceeded this requirement by approximately $18.1 billion.

In addition to the liquidity measures described above, the Bank is required, pursuant to guidance issued by the Finance Agency, to meet two daily liquidity standards, each of which assumes that the Bank is unable to access the market for consolidated obligations during a prescribed period. The first standard requires the Bank to maintain sufficient funds to meet its obligations for 15 days under a scenario in which it is assumed that members do not renew any maturing, prepaid or called advances. The second standard requires the Bank to maintain sufficient funds to meet its obligations for 5 days under a scenario in which it is assumed that members renew all maturing and called advances, with certain exceptions for very large, highly rated members. These requirements are more stringent than the 5-day contingent liquidity requirement discussed above. The Bank was in compliance with both of these liquidity requirements at all times during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The Bank’s access to the capital markets has never been interrupted to an extent that the Bank’s ability to meet its obligations was compromised and the Bank does not currently believe that its ability to issue consolidated obligations will be impeded to that extent in the future. If, however, the Bank were unable to issue consolidated obligations for an extended period of time, the Bank would eventually exhaust the availability of purchased federal funds (including borrowings from other FHLBanks) and repurchase agreements as sources of funds. It is also possible that an event (such as a natural disaster) that might impede the Bank’s ability to raise funds by issuing consolidated obligations would also limit the Bank’s ability to access the markets for federal funds purchased and/or repurchase agreements.

Under those circumstances, to the extent that the balance of principal and interest that came due on the Bank’s debt obligations and the funds needed to pay its operating expenses exceeded the cash inflows from its interest-earning assets and proceeds from maturing assets, and if access to the market for consolidated obligations was not again available, the Bank would seek to access funding under the Contingency Agreement to repay any principal and interest due on its consolidated obligations. However, if the Bank were unable to raise funds by issuing consolidated obligations, it is likely that the other FHLBanks would have similar difficulties issuing debt. If funds were not available under the Contingency Agreement, the Bank’s ability to conduct its operations would be compromised even earlier than if this funding source was available.

A summary of the Bank’s contractual cash obligations and off-balance-sheet lending-related financial commitments by due date or remaining maturity as of December 31, 2017 is provided in the 2017 10-K. There have been no material changes in the Bank’s contractual obligations outside the normal course of business during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

For a discussion of recently issued accounting guidance, see “Item 1. Financial Statements” (specifically, Note 2 beginning on page 7 of this report).

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The following quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk should be read in conjunction with the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk that are included in the 2017 10-K. The information provided in this item is intended to update the disclosures made in the 2017 10-K.

As a financial intermediary, the Bank is subject to interest rate risk. Changes in the level of interest rates, the slope of the interest rate yield curve, and/or the relationships (or spreads) between interest yields for different instruments have an impact on the Bank’s estimated market value of equity and its earnings. This risk arises from a variety of instruments that the Bank enters into on a regular basis in the normal course of its business.

The terms of member advances, investment securities, and consolidated obligations may present interest rate risk and/or embedded option risk. As discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the Bank makes extensive use of interest rate derivative instruments, primarily interest rate swaps and caps, to manage the risk arising from these sources.

The Bank has investments in residential mortgage-related assets, primarily CMOs and MPF mortgage loans, both of which present prepayment risk. This risk arises from the mortgagors’ option to prepay their mortgages, making the effective maturities of these mortgage-based assets relatively more sensitive to changes in interest rates and other factors that affect the mortgagors’ decisions to repay their mortgages as compared to other long-term investment securities that do not have prepayment features. A decline in interest rates generally accelerates mortgage refinancing activity, thus increasing prepayments and thereby

75

shortening the effective maturity of the mortgage-related assets. Conversely, rising rates generally slow prepayment activity and lengthen a mortgage-related asset’s effective maturity.

The Bank has managed the potential prepayment risk embedded in mortgage assets by purchasing floating rate securities, by purchasing securities that maintain their original principal balance for a fixed number of years, by purchasing highly structured tranches of mortgage securities that substantially limit the effects of prepayment risk, by issuing a combination of callable and non-callable debt with varying maturities, and/or by using interest rate derivative instruments to offset prepayment risk specific both to particular securities and to the overall mortgage portfolio.

The Bank’s Enterprise Market Risk Management Policy provides a risk management framework for the financial management of the Bank consistent with the strategic principles outlined in its Strategic Business Plan. The Bank develops its funding and hedging strategies to manage its interest rate risk within the risk limits established in its Enterprise Market Risk Management Policy.

The Enterprise Market Risk Management Policy articulates the Bank’s tolerance for the amount of overall interest rate risk the Bank will assume by limiting the maximum estimated loss in market value of equity that the Bank would incur under simulated 200 basis point changes in interest rates to 15 percent of the estimated base case market value. As reflected in the table below, the Bank was in compliance with this limit at each month-end during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

As part of its ongoing risk management process, the Bank calculates an estimated market value of equity for a base case interest rate scenario and for interest rate scenarios that reflect parallel interest rate shocks. The base case market value of equity is calculated by determining the estimated fair value of each instrument on the Bank’s balance sheet, and subtracting the estimated aggregate fair value of the Bank’s liabilities from the estimated aggregate fair value of the Bank’s assets. For purposes of these calculations, mandatorily redeemable capital stock is treated as equity rather than as a liability. The fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments (both assets and liabilities) are determined using either vendor prices or a pricing model. For those instruments for which a pricing model is used, the calculations are based upon parameters derived from market conditions existing at the time of measurement, and are generally determined by discounting estimated future cash flows at the replacement (or similar) rate for new instruments of the same type with the same or very similar characteristics. The market value of equity calculations include non-financial assets and liabilities, such as premises and equipment, other assets, payables for AHP, and other liabilities at their recorded carrying amounts.

For purposes of compliance with the Bank’s Enterprise Market Risk Management Policy limit on estimated losses in market value, market value of equity losses are defined as the estimated net sensitivity of the value of the Bank’s equity (the net value of its portfolio of assets, liabilities and interest rate derivatives) to 200 basis point parallel shifts in interest rates.

76

The following table provides the Bank’s estimated base case market value of equity and its estimated market value of equity under up and down 200 basis point interest rate shock scenarios (and, for comparative purposes, its estimated market value of equity under up and down 100 basis point interest rate shock scenarios) for each month-end during the period from December 2017 through September2018. In addition, the table provides the percentage change in estimated market value of equity under each of these shock scenarios for the indicated periods.

_____________________________

⁽¹⁾  In the up 100 and up 200 scenarios, the estimated market value of equity is calculated under assumed instantaneous +100 and +200 basis point parallel shifts in interest rates.

⁽²⁾  In the down 100 and down 200 scenarios, the estimated market value of equity is calculated under assumed instantaneous -100 and -200 basis point parallel shifts in interest rates, subject to a floor of 0.01 percent.

A related measure of interest rate risk is duration of equity. Duration is the weighted average maturity (typically measured in months or years) of an instrument’s cash flows, weighted by the present value of those cash flows. As such, duration provides an estimate of an instrument’s sensitivity to small changes in market interest rates. The duration of assets is generally expressed as a positive figure, while the duration of liabilities is generally expressed as a negative number. The change in value of a specific instrument for given changes in interest rates will generally vary in inverse proportion to the instrument’s duration. As market interest rates decline, instruments with a positive duration are expected to increase in value, while instruments with a negative duration are expected to decrease in value. Conversely, as interest rates rise, instruments with a positive duration are expected to decline in value, while instruments with a negative duration are expected to increase in value.

The values of instruments having relatively longer (or higher) durations are more sensitive to a given interest rate movement than instruments having shorter durations; that is, risk increases as the absolute value of duration lengthens. For instance, the value of an instrument with a duration of three years will theoretically change by three percent for every one percentage point (100 basis point) change in interest rates, while the value of an instrument with a duration of five years will theoretically change by five percent for every one percentage point change in interest rates.

The duration of individual instruments may be easily combined to determine the duration of a portfolio of assets or liabilities by calculating a weighted average duration of the instruments in the portfolio. These combinations provide a single straightforward metric that describes the portfolio’s sensitivity to interest rate movements. These additive properties can be applied to the assets and liabilities on the Bank’s balance sheet. The difference between the combined durations of the Bank’s assets and the combined durations of its liabilities is sometimes referred to as duration gap and provides a measure of the relative interest rate sensitivities of the Bank’s assets and liabilities.

Duration gap is a useful measure of interest rate sensitivity but does not account for the effect of leverage, or the effect of the absolute duration of the Bank’s assets and liabilities, on the sensitivity of its estimated market value of equity to changes in interest rates. The inclusion of these factors results in a measure of the sensitivity of the value of the Bank’s equity to changes in market interest rates referred to as the duration of equity. Duration of equity is the market value weighted duration of assets minus the market value weighted duration of liabilities divided by the market value of equity.

The significance of an entity’s duration of equity is that it can be used to describe the sensitivity of the entity’s market value of equity to movements in interest rates. A duration of equity equal to zero would mean, within a narrow range of interest rate movements, that the Bank had neutralized the impact of changes in interest rates on the market value of its equity.

A positive duration of equity would mean, within a narrow range of interest rate movements, that for each one year of duration the estimated market value of the Bank’s equity would be expected to decline by about 0.01 percent for every positive 0.01 percent change in the level of interest rates. A positive duration generally indicates that the value of the Bank’s assets is more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the value of its liabilities (i.e., that the duration of its assets is greater than the duration of its liabilities).

Conversely, a negative duration of equity would mean, within a narrow range of interest rate movements, that for each one year of negative duration the estimated market value of the Bank’s equity would be expected to increase by about 0.01 percent for every positive 0.01 percent change in the level of interest rates. A negative duration generally indicates that the value of the Bank’s liabilities is more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the value of its assets (i.e., that the duration of its liabilities is greater than the duration of its assets).

The following table provides information regarding the Bank’s base case duration of equity as well as its duration of equity in up and down 100 and 200 basis point interest rate shock scenarios for each month-end during the period from December 2017 through September2018.

_____________________________

⁽¹⁾  In the up 100 and up 200 scenarios, the duration of equity is calculated under assumed instantaneous +100 and +200 basis point parallel shifts in interest rates.

⁽²⁾  In the down 100 and down 200 scenarios, the duration of equity is calculated under assumed instantaneous -100 and -200 basis point parallel shifts in interest rates.

Duration of equity measures the impact of a parallel shift in interest rates on an entity’s market value of equity but may not be a good metric for measuring changes in value related to non-parallel rate shifts. An alternative measure for that purpose uses key rate durations, which measure portfolio sensitivity to changes in interest rates at particular points on a yield curve. Key rate duration is a specialized form of duration. It is calculated by estimating the change in value due to changing the market rate for one specific maturity point on the yield curve while holding all other variables constant. The sum of the key rate durations across an applicable yield curve is approximately equal to the overall portfolio duration.

The duration of equity measure represents the expected percentage change in the Bank’s market value of equity for a one percentage point (100 basis point) parallel change in interest rates. The key rate duration measure represents the expected percentage change in the Bank’s market value of equity for a one percentage point (100 basis point) parallel change in interest rates for a given maturity point on the yield curve, holding all other rates constant. The Bank's key rate duration limit is 5 years, measured as the difference between the maximum and minimum key rate durations calculated for 11 defined individual maturity points on the yield curve. The Bank calculates these metrics monthly and was in compliance with these policy limits at each month-end during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Bank’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in: (1) recording, processing, summarizing and reporting information required to be disclosed by the Bank in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Bank in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Bank’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting.

Exhibit 10.1

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of this ____________ day of ___________ 2018(the “Agreement”), by and between FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF DALLAS, a federally chartered corporation (“Bank”), and _________________ (the “Officer”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Bank (the “Board”) believes that it is reasonable, prudent, and necessary for the Bank to contractually obligate itself to indemnify the Officer in order to induce the Officer to serve or continue to serve the Bank, including the Officer’s service as an officer, director, trustee, or other official of organizations with which the Bank may have a contractual or other relationship, free from undue concern that the Officer will not be so indemnified; and

WHEREAS, Article VIII of the Bank’s Bylaws provides that the Bank will indemnify officers and directors of the Bank in connection with their service as officers, directors, and trustees of organizations on which they serve as officers, directors, or trustees on behalf of or for the benefit of the Bank; and

WHEREAS, the Officer is willing to serve, continue to serve, and take on additional service for, or on behalf of, the Bank on the condition that the Officer be so indemnified as more fully set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the covenants in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound, the Bank and the Officer do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

(a)    “Agent” shall mean any person who (i) is or was a director of the Bank; or (ii) is or was serving at the request of, for the convenience of, or to represent the interest of the Bank (including, without limitation, the Council of Federal Home Loan Banks and any Federal Home Loan Bank System committee, and their successors) as a director, officer, partner, employee, member, manager, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, agency, instrumentality or other enterprise.

(b)    “Business Day” shall mean any day that the Bank is open for business.

(c)    “Disinterested Director” shall mean a director of the Bank who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding or Bank Proceeding in respect of which indemnification or advancement of Expenses is being sought by the Officer or any similar Proceeding or Bank Proceeding then pending.

1

(d)    “Expenses” shall be broadly construed and shall include all direct and indirect costs (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and retainers, court costs, transcription costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, food and lodging expenses while traveling, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service, and freight or other transportation fees and expenses) actually and reasonably incurred, in connection with the investigation of, defense of, settlement of, appeal of, or being or preparing to be a witness in (including being deposed or preparing to be deposed) a Proceeding or Bank Proceeding or the establishment or enforcement of a right to indemnification under this Agreement, applicable law or otherwise; provided, however, that “Expenses” shall not include any Liabilities, as defined in Section 1(f) below, or any direct and indirect costs to the extent that any amounts paid in respect thereof are prohibited to be indemnified against by applicable law.

(e)    “Independent Counsel” shall mean a law firm or a member of a law firm that neither is presently nor in the past three years has been retained to represent (i) the Bank or the Officer in any matter material to either party or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding or Bank Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Bank or the Officer in an action to determine the Officer’s right to indemnification under this Agreement.

(f)    “Liabilities” shall mean liabilities of any type whatsoever, including, but not limited to, judgments, assessments, fines, taxes and penalties (including those payable pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act), and amounts paid in settlement (including, but not limited to, all interest, assessments, fines, or other charges paid or payable in connection with any of the foregoing); provided, however, that “Liabilities” shall not include any judgments, assessments, fines, taxes, penalties, or amounts paid in settlement to the extent that any amounts paid thereof are prohibited to be indemnified against by applicable law.

(g)    “Proceeding” shall mean any threatened, pending or completed action, hearing, claim, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing, or any other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, arbitrative, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal, arising by reason of the fact that the Officer is or was an Agent (each, an “Action”); provided, however, that Proceeding shall not mean a Bank Proceeding.

(h)    “Bank Proceeding” shall mean an Action by or on behalf of the Bank.

SECTION 2. Service as a Officer. The Officer agrees to serve as an officer of the Bank so long as the Officer is qualified in accordance with the applicable provisions of the charter and bylaws of the Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and until such time as the Officer resigns or is removed from the Officer’s position or is disqualified to continue in the Officer’s position (subject to any other contractual obligation or other obligation imposed by operation of law). The Bank shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue the Officer in any position.

2

SECTION 3. Indemnification

(a) Proceeding Indemnification. The Bank shall indemnify the Officer whenever the Officer is or becomes a party, whether as a plaintiff acting with the approval of the Board, or as a defendant, or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any Proceeding (other than as a plaintiff in an action against the Bank without the approval of the Board), against all Liabilities, loss, and Expenses actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by the Officer in connection with any Proceeding if, as determined in accordance with Section 5, the Officer acted in good faith and in a manner the Officer reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Bank and within the scope of his duties, and, with respect to any Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the Officer’s conduct was unlawful, except such Liabilities and Expenses as a court of competent jurisdiction holds in a final, non-appealable judgment may not be indemnified against or are incurred because of (a) the Officer’s breach of the Officer’s duty of loyalty to the Bank or its stockholders, (b) any act or omission by the Officer which involves willful misconduct, fraud, or knowing violation of the criminal law, (c) any transaction from which the Officer derived any improper personal benefit, or (d) an action by the Federal Housing Finance Agency against the Officer that resulted in an order, penalty or settlement adverse to the Officer. The rights of indemnification of the Officer provided under this Agreement shall include, without limitation, those rights set forth in Sections 4, 7, and 8 below. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, to the extent that the Officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding, the Officer shall be indemnified against, and entitled to reimbursement of, all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Officer in connection with the Proceeding. The rights of indemnification of the Officer provided under this Agreement shall not be diminished by any other right to indemnification the Officer may have (with the Bank or any other third party) and the right to indemnification hereunder shall be a primary obligation of the Bank.

(b) Bank Proceeding Indemnification.The Bank shall indemnify the Officer whenever the Officer is or becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party to any Bank Proceeding, against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Officer in connection with any Bank Proceeding if, as determined in accordance with Section 5, the Officer acted in good faith and in a manner the Officer reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Bank and within the scope of his duties, and, with respect to any Bank Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the Officer’s conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that no indemnification shall be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which the Officer shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Bank.

SECTION 4. Advancement of Expenses. All reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Officer in connection with a Proceeding or Bank Proceeding, whether prior to or after final disposition of a Proceeding or Bank Proceeding, shall be advanced by the Bank to the Officer within 10 Business Days after the receipt by the Secretary of the Bank of (a) a written affirmation by the Officer of the Officer’s good faith belief that the Officer acted in good faith and in a manner the Officer reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Bank and within the scope of his duties, and, with respect to any Proceeding or Bank Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the Officer’s conduct was unlawful, (b) a written undertaking by or

3

on behalf of the Officer to repay all amounts paid or reimbursed only if it shall ultimately be determined that the Officer is not entitled under the terms of this Agreement and/or applicable law to be indemnified by the Bank, and (c) receipts, invoices or other reasonable evidence of Expenses sought to be advanced or reimbursed. The Officer’s entitlement to advancement of Expenses shall include Expenses incurred in connection with any Proceeding or Bank Proceeding that seeks a determination, adjudication, or award in arbitration pursuant to this Agreement. The Officer shall not be required to repay any amounts paid or reimbursed by the Bank until a final, non-appealable determination has been made that the Officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Bank. The requests under this Section 4 shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by the Officer in connection therewith. The undertaking required by clause (b) of this Section 4 (i) shall be an unlimited general obligation of such person, (ii) need not be secured, and (iii) shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the Officer to make repayment. The Officer’s right to advancement of Expenses provided in this Section 4 is a separate and distinct right and, if the Officer is covered by this Agreement and eligible for advancement pursuant to the terms hereof, shall be separately enforceable from, the right to indemnification as set forth in this Agreement or elsewhere.

SECTION 5. Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.

(a)    Whenever the Officer believes that the Officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the Officer shall submit a written request for indemnification to the Secretary of the Bank. The request shall include all documentation or information necessary for the determination of entitlement to indemnification that is reasonably available to the Officer. A determination of the Officer’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made by the Board or Independent Counsel not later than 30 Business Days after the date on which the Secretary of the Bank receives a written request from the Officer for indemnification. The Secretary of the Bank shall, promptly upon receipt of the Officer’s request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that the Officer has made such a request for indemnification. The Secretary of the Bank shall promptly communicate to the Officer any determination made pursuant to this Section 5.

(b)    The determination that indemnification of the Officer is proper in the circumstances shall be made (i) by the Board by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (whether or not such Disinterested Directors constitute a quorum) or (ii) if a majority of Disinterested Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel selected by the Board, which Independent Counsel shall make the required determination in a written opinion, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Bank, the Officer, and each member of the Board.

The Bank agrees to bear all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Officer and all Expenses actually incurred by the Bank in connection with the Officer’s successfully establishing the Officer’s right to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, in whole or in part.

SECTION 6. Presumption and Effect of Certain Proceedings. Upon making a request for indemnification pursuant to Section 5, the Officer shall initially be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and advancement of Expenses in connection

4

with any Proceeding or Bank Proceeding (subject to a later change in the presumption as provided in this Section), and the Bank shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in reaching any contrary determination; provided, however, that in the event of the settlement of a criminal Proceeding, for which the Officer seeks or has sought indemnification, the Officer shall be presumed to be not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Officer shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in reaching any contrary determination. If the person or persons empowered to make the determination on advancement shall have failed to make the requested determination within 30 Business Days after the date on which a written affirmation pursuant to Section 4 hereof from the Officer was received by the Secretary of the Bank, the required determination of entitlement to advancement shall be deemed to have been made and the Officer shall be absolutely entitled to advancement of Expenses pursuant to Section 4 hereof in connection with any Proceeding or Bank Proceeding under this Agreement. The termination of any Proceeding or Bank Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement (other than a criminal Proceeding), conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that (i) the Officer did not act in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Bank or (ii) with respect to any Proceeding or Bank Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

SECTION 7. Remedies of the Officer in Cases of Determination Not to Indemnify or to Advance Expenses.

(a)    In the event that (i) the Bank denies the Officer’s written claim for indemnification, (ii) the Bank has not paid in full within 10 Business Days after the requirements for the advancement of Expenses set forth in this Agreement have been satisfied, (iii) the Bank has not paid an indemnification claim in full within 10 Business Days after the Board or court determines that indemnification of the Officer is proper, or (iv) the Officer otherwise seeks enforcement of this Agreement, the Officer may at any time thereafter apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an order directing the Bank to provide indemnification, or to make an advancement of Expenses.

(b)    If an initial determination is made or deemed to have been made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement that the Officer is entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses or both, the Bank shall be bound by such determination in the absence of (i) a misrepresentation of a material fact by the Officer or (ii) a specific finding (by a court of competent jurisdiction that has become final) that all or any part of such indemnification or advancement is expressly prohibited by law.

(c)    The Bank shall be precluded from asserting that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding, and enforceable. The Bank shall stipulate in any court or before any arbitrator that the Bank is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

(d)    All Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Officer in connection with the Officer’s request for indemnification under, seeking enforcement of, or recovery of damages for breach of this Agreement shall be borne and advanced by the Bank.

5

SECTION 8. Other Rights to Indemnification. The Officer’s rights of indemnification and advancement of Expenses provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Officer may now or in the future be entitled under applicable law, the charter or bylaws of the Bank, agreement, vote of directors or members, insurance or other financial arrangements of the Bank with respect to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement, or otherwise.

SECTION 9. Limitations on Indemnity. The Bank shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment to the Officer to the extent that the Officer has already been reimbursed pursuant to any liability insurance as the Bank may maintain for the Officer’s benefit or otherwise. In connection with the Officer’s claim for indemnification from the Bank pursuant to this Agreement, at the request of the Bank, the Officer shall assign to the Bank any claims under such insurance to the extent the Officer is paid by the Bank. The Officer shall reimburse the Bank for any sums the Officer receives as indemnification from other sources to the extent of any amount paid to the Officer for that purpose by the Bank.

In addition to the foregoing limitation, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, in connection with all or any part of a Proceeding that is initiated or maintained by, against, or on behalf of the Officer, or any Proceeding by the Officer against the Bank or any of its Agents, the Bank shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment to the Officer in connection with any such Proceeding, unless such payment is expressly required to be made under applicable law, was authorized by a majority of the Disinterested Directors or is provided by the Bank, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Bank under applicable law.

SECTION 10. Effective Date; Duration and Scope of Agreement; Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date indicated in the first paragraph of the Agreement and shall apply to any requests for advancement or indemnification made on or after the effective date. This Agreement shall continue so long as the Officer shall be subject to any possible Proceeding or Bank Proceeding by reason of the fact that the Officer is or was an Agent and shall be applicable to Proceedings or Bank Proceedings commenced or continued after execution of the Agreement, except that the Agreement may be terminated or withdrawn by the Bank upon 90 days’ prior written notice to the Officer, but then only as to Proceedings or Bank Proceedings arising out of acts taken or failed to be taken more than 90 days after such notice is actually received by the Officer. If this Agreement is terminated or withdrawn, the Officer shall nevertheless be fully entitled to the indemnification provided by this Agreement as to all actions taken or failed to be taken prior to the expiration of such 90 days. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Bank and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Officer and the Officer’s spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors, administrators, and other legal representatives whether or not the Officer has ceased to be a director of the Bank. The Bank shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Bank’s business or assets expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

6

SECTION 11. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement (or any portion thereof) shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable.

SECTION 12. Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against which enforceability is sought need be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.

SECTION 13. Headings. The headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect its construction.

SECTION 14. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties to this Agreement. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

SECTION 15. Notice and Defense of Claims. The Officer agrees to notify the Bank promptly in writing upon being notified of any matter that may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder or upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information, or other document relating to any matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative; but the omission to notify the Bank will not relieve the Bank from any obligation it may have to indemnify the Officer if such omission does not prejudice the Bank’s rights, and, if such omission does prejudice the Bank’s rights, it will relieve the Bank from any obligation to indemnify the Officer only to the extent of such prejudice; nor will such omission relieve the Bank from any obligation it may have to the Officer other than under this Agreement. With respect to any Proceeding about which the Officer notifies the Bank:

(a)    The Bank will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense.

(b)    Except as otherwise provided below, the Bank jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to assume the defense of any or all of the Proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Officer. After notice from the Bank to the Officer of its election to assume the defense of any or all of the Proceeding, the Bank will not be liable to the Officer under this Agreement for any Expenses subsequently incurred by the Officer in connection with the defense of the Proceeding other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) below.

7

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of this ____________ day of ___________ 2018(the “Agreement”), by and between FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF DALLAS, a federally chartered corporation (“Bank”), and _________________ (the “Director”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Bank (the “Board”) believes that it is reasonable, prudent, and necessary for the Bank to contractually obligate itself to indemnify the Director in order to induce the Director to serve or continue to serve the Bank, including the Director’s service as an officer, director, trustee, or other official of organizations with which the Bank may have a contractual or other relationship, free from undue concern that the Director will not be so indemnified; and

WHEREAS, Article VIII of the Bank’s Bylaws provides that the Bank will indemnify officers and directors of the Bank in connection with their service as officers, directors, and trustees of organizations on which they serve as officers, directors, or trustees on behalf of or for the benefit of the Bank; and

WHEREAS, the Director is willing to serve, continue to serve, and take on additional service for, or on behalf of, the Bank on the condition that the Director be so indemnified as more fully set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the covenants in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound, the Bank and the Director do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

(a)    “Agent” shall mean any person who (i) is or was a director of the Bank; or (ii) is or was serving at the request of, for the convenience of, or to represent the interest of the Bank (including, without limitation, the Council of Federal Home Loan Banks and any Federal Home Loan Bank System committee, and their successors) as a director, officer, partner, employee, member, manager, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, agency, instrumentality or other enterprise.

(b)    “Business Day” shall mean any day that the Bank is open for business.

(c)    “Disinterested Director” shall mean a director of the Bank who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding or Bank Proceeding in respect of which indemnification or advancement of Expenses is being sought by the Director or any similar Proceeding or Bank Proceeding then pending.

(e)    “Independent Counsel” shall mean a law firm or a member of a law firm that neither is presently nor in the past three years has been retained to represent (i) the Bank or the Director in any matter material to either party or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding or Bank Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Bank or the Director in an action to determine the Director’s right to indemnification under this Agreement.

(f)    “Liabilities” shall mean liabilities of any type whatsoever, including, but not limited to, judgments, assessments, fines, taxes and penalties (including those payable pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act), and amounts paid in settlement (including, but not limited to, all interest, assessments, fines, or other charges paid or payable in connection with any of the foregoing); provided, however, that “Liabilities” shall not include any judgments, assessments, fines, taxes, penalties, or amounts paid in settlement to the extent that any amounts paid thereof are prohibited to be indemnified against by applicable law.

(g)    “Proceeding” shall mean any threatened, pending or completed action, hearing, claim, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing, or any other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, arbitrative, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal, arising by reason of the fact that the Director is or was an Agent (each, an “Action”); provided, however, that Proceeding shall not mean a Bank Proceeding.

(h)    “Bank Proceeding” shall mean an Action by or on behalf of the Bank.

SECTION 2. Service as a Director. The Director agrees to serve as a director of the Bank so long as the Director is qualified in accordance with the applicable provisions of the charter and bylaws of the Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and until such time as the Director resigns or is removed from the Director’s position or is disqualified to continue in the Director’s position (subject to any other contractual obligation or other obligation imposed by operation of law). The Bank shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue the Director in any position.

2

SECTION 3. Indemnification

(a) Proceeding Indemnification. The Bank shall indemnify the Director whenever the Director is or becomes a party, whether as a plaintiff acting with the approval of the Board, or as a defendant, or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any Proceeding (other than as a plaintiff in an action against the Bank without the approval of the Board), against all Liabilities, loss, and Expenses actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by the Director in connection with any Proceeding if, as determined in accordance with Section 5, the Director acted in good faith and in a manner the Director reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Bank and within the scope of his duties, and, with respect to any Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the Director’s conduct was unlawful, except such Liabilities and Expenses as a court of competent jurisdiction holds in a final, non-appealable judgment may not be indemnified against or are incurred because of (a) the Director’s breach of the Director’s duty of loyalty to the Bank or its stockholders, (b) any act or omission by the Director which involves willful misconduct, fraud, or knowing violation of the criminal law, (c) any transaction from which the Director derived any improper personal benefit, or (d) an action by the Federal Housing Finance Agency against the Director that resulted in an order, penalty or settlement adverse to the Director. The rights of indemnification of the Director provided under this Agreement shall include, without limitation, those rights set forth in Sections 4, 7, and 8 below. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, to the extent that the Director has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding, the Director shall be indemnified against, and entitled to reimbursement of, all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Director in connection with the Proceeding. The rights of indemnification of the Director provided under this Agreement shall not be diminished by any other right to indemnification the Director may have (with the Bank or any other third party) and the right to indemnification hereunder shall be a primary obligation of the Bank.

(b) Bank Proceeding Indemnification.The Bank shall indemnify the Director whenever the Director is or becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party to any Bank Proceeding, against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Director in connection with any Bank Proceeding if, as determined in accordance with Section 5, the Director acted in good faith and in a manner the Director reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Bank and within the scope of his duties, and, with respect to any Bank Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the Director’s conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that no indemnification shall be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which the Director shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Bank.

SECTION 4. Advancement of Expenses. All reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Director in connection with a Proceeding or Bank Proceeding, whether prior to or after final disposition of a Proceeding or Bank Proceeding, shall be advanced by the Bank to the Director within 10 Business Days after the receipt by the Secretary of the Bank of (a) a written affirmation by the Director of the Director’s good faith belief that the Director acted in good faith and in a manner the Director reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Bank and within the scope of his duties, and, with respect to any Proceeding or Bank Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the Director’s conduct was unlawful, (b) a written undertaking by or

3

on behalf of the Director to repay all amounts paid or reimbursed only if it shall ultimately be determined that the Director is not entitled under the terms of this Agreement and/or applicable law to be indemnified by the Bank, and (c) receipts, invoices or other reasonable evidence of Expenses sought to be advanced or reimbursed. The Director’s entitlement to advancement of Expenses shall include Expenses incurred in connection with any Proceeding or Bank Proceeding that seeks a determination, adjudication, or award in arbitration pursuant to this Agreement. The Director shall not be required to repay any amounts paid or reimbursed by the Bank until a final, non-appealable determination has been made that the Director is not entitled to be indemnified by the Bank. The requests under this Section 4 shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by the Director in connection therewith. The undertaking required by clause (b) of this Section 4 (i) shall be an unlimited general obligation of such person, (ii) need not be secured, and (iii) shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the Director to make repayment. The Director’s right to advancement of Expenses provided in this Section 4 is a separate and distinct right and, if the Director is covered by this Agreement and eligible for advancement pursuant to the terms hereof, shall be separately enforceable from, the right to indemnification as set forth in this Agreement or elsewhere.

SECTION 5. Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.

(a)    Whenever the Director believes that the Director is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the Director shall submit a written request for indemnification to the Secretary of the Bank. The request shall include all documentation or information necessary for the determination of entitlement to indemnification that is reasonably available to the Director. A determination of the Director’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made by the Board or Independent Counsel not later than 30 Business Days after the date on which the Secretary of the Bank receives a written request from the Director for indemnification. The Secretary of the Bank shall, promptly upon receipt of the Director’s request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that the Director has made such a request for indemnification. The Secretary of the Bank shall promptly communicate to the Director any determination made pursuant to this Section 5.

(b)    The determination that indemnification of the Director is proper in the circumstances shall be made (i) by the Board by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (whether or not such Disinterested Directors constitute a quorum) or (ii) if a majority of Disinterested Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel selected by the Board, which Independent Counsel shall make the required determination in a written opinion, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Bank, the Director, and each member of the Board.

The Bank agrees to bear all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Director and all Expenses actually incurred by the Bank in connection with the Director’s successfully establishing the Director’s right to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, in whole or in part.

SECTION 6. Presumption and Effect of Certain Proceedings. Upon making a request for indemnification pursuant to Section 5, the Director shall initially be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and advancement of Expenses in connection

4

with any Proceeding or Bank Proceeding (subject to a later change in the presumption as provided in this Section), and the Bank shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in reaching any contrary determination; provided, however, that in the event of the settlement of a criminal Proceeding, for which the Director seeks or has sought indemnification, the Director shall be presumed to be not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Director shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in reaching any contrary determination. If the person or persons empowered to make the determination on advancement shall have failed to make the requested determination within 30 Business Days after the date on which a written affirmation pursuant to Section 4 hereof from the Director was received by the Secretary of the Bank, the required determination of entitlement to advancement shall be deemed to have been made and the Director shall be absolutely entitled to advancement of Expenses pursuant to Section 4 hereof in connection with any Proceeding or Bank Proceeding under this Agreement. The termination of any Proceeding or Bank Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement (other than a criminal Proceeding), conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that (i) the Director did not act in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Bank or (ii) with respect to any Proceeding or Bank Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

SECTION 7. Remedies of the Director in Cases of Determination Not to Indemnify or to Advance Expenses.

(a)    In the event that (i) the Bank denies the Director’s written claim for indemnification, (ii) the Bank has not paid in full within 10 Business Days after the requirements for the advancement of Expenses set forth in this Agreement have been satisfied, (iii) the Bank has not paid an indemnification claim in full within 10 Business Days after the Board or court determines that indemnification of the Director is proper, or (iv) the Director otherwise seeks enforcement of this Agreement, the Director may at any time thereafter apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an order directing the Bank to provide indemnification, or to make an advancement of Expenses.

(b)    If an initial determination is made or deemed to have been made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement that the Director is entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses or both, the Bank shall be bound by such determination in the absence of (i) a misrepresentation of a material fact by the Director or (ii) a specific finding (by a court of competent jurisdiction that has become final) that all or any part of such indemnification or advancement is expressly prohibited by law.

(c)    The Bank shall be precluded from asserting that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding, and enforceable. The Bank shall stipulate in any court or before any arbitrator that the Bank is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

(d)    All Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Director in connection with the Director’s request for indemnification under, seeking enforcement of, or recovery of damages for breach of this Agreement shall be borne and advanced by the Bank.

5

SECTION 8. Other Rights to Indemnification. The Director’s rights of indemnification and advancement of Expenses provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Director may now or in the future be entitled under applicable law, the charter or bylaws of the Bank, agreement, vote of directors or members, insurance or other financial arrangements of the Bank with respect to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement, or otherwise.

SECTION 9. Limitations on Indemnity. The Bank shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment to the Director to the extent that the Director has already been reimbursed pursuant to any liability insurance as the Bank may maintain for the Director’s benefit or otherwise. In connection with the Director’s claim for indemnification from the Bank pursuant to this Agreement, at the request of the Bank, the Director shall assign to the Bank any claims under such insurance to the extent the Director is paid by the Bank. The Director shall reimburse the Bank for any sums the Director receives as indemnification from other sources to the extent of any amount paid to the Director for that purpose by the Bank.

In addition to the foregoing limitation, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, in connection with all or any part of a Proceeding that is initiated or maintained by, against, or on behalf of the Director, or any Proceeding by the Director against the Bank or any of its Agents, the Bank shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment to the Director in connection with any such Proceeding, unless such payment is expressly required to be made under applicable law, was authorized by a majority of the Disinterested Directors or is provided by the Bank, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Bank under applicable law.

SECTION 10. Effective Date; Duration and Scope of Agreement; Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date indicated in the first paragraph of the Agreement and shall apply to any requests for advancement or indemnification made on or after the effective date. This Agreement shall continue so long as the Director shall be subject to any possible Proceeding or Bank Proceeding by reason of the fact that the Director is or was an Agent and shall be applicable to Proceedings or Bank Proceedings commenced or continued after execution of the Agreement, except that the Agreement may be terminated or withdrawn by the Bank upon 90 days’ prior written notice to the Director, but then only as to Proceedings or Bank Proceedings arising out of acts taken or failed to be taken more than 90 days after such notice is actually received by the Director. If this Agreement is terminated or withdrawn, the Director shall nevertheless be fully entitled to the indemnification provided by this Agreement as to all actions taken or failed to be taken prior to the expiration of such 90 days. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Bank and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Director and the Director’s spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors, administrators, and other legal representatives whether or not the Director has ceased to be a director of the Bank. The Bank shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Bank’s business or assets expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

6

SECTION 11. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement (or any portion thereof) shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable.

SECTION 12. Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against which enforceability is sought need be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.

SECTION 13. Headings. The headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect its construction.

SECTION 14. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties to this Agreement. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

SECTION 15. Notice and Defense of Claims. The Director agrees to notify the Bank promptly in writing upon being notified of any matter that may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder or upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information, or other document relating to any matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative; but the omission to notify the Bank will not relieve the Bank from any obligation it may have to indemnify the Director if such omission does not prejudice the Bank’s rights, and, if such omission does prejudice the Bank’s rights, it will relieve the Bank from any obligation to indemnify the Director only to the extent of such prejudice; nor will such omission relieve the Bank from any obligation it may have to the Director other than under this Agreement. With respect to any Proceeding about which the Director notifies the Bank:

(a)    The Bank will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense.

(b)    Except as otherwise provided below, the Bank jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to assume the defense of any or all of the Proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Director. After notice from the Bank to the Director of its election to assume the defense of any or all of the Proceeding, the Bank will not be liable to the Director under this Agreement for any Expenses subsequently incurred by the Director in connection with the defense of the Proceeding other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) below.

7

(i)    The Director shall have the right to employ the Director’s own counsel in any Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Bank of its assumption of the defense in such Proceeding shall be at the expense of the Director unless (A) the employment of counsel by the Director has been authorized by the Bank, (B) the Director shall have reasonably concluded that (1) there is a conflict of interest between the Bank and the Director in the conduct of the defense of the Proceeding, (2) there is a conflict of interest between the Director and the other directors being represented by a law firm as set forth in clause (ii) below, or (3) counsel is not adequately representing the Director, or (C) the Bank shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense in such Proceeding, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of the Director’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Bank. The Bank shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding as to which the Director shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in clauses (B)(1) and (B)(2) of the immediately preceding sentence.

(ii)    If (A) the Director together with a majority of all directors of the Bank that are a party to the Proceeding or any similar Proceeding in respect of which indemnification or advancement of Expenses is being sought by any of such directors are able to agree on the selection of a law firm or a member of a law firm, the Bank will pay the fees and expenses of such law firm or (B) the Director is the only director of the Bank that is a party to a Proceeding in respect of which indemnification or advancement of Expenses is being sought by a director of the Bank, the Director may select a law firm or a member of a law firm and the Bank will pay the fees and expenses of such law firm; provided, however, the Director agrees that to the extent that the Director is added as a party to a Proceeding to which another director of the Bank has already selected a law firm or a member of a law firm, the Director may choose to be represented by such law firm as well and the Bank will pay the fees and expenses of such law firm but if the Director chooses to be represented by other counsel the fees and expenses of such other counsel shall be at the expense of the Director.

(iii)    If the Bank or the Bank’s counsel shall determine that separate counsel should be retained by the Director, the Director will retain such separate counsel, and the Director agrees that the Bank’s counsel may continue to represent the Bank in all matters.

(c)    The Bank shall not be liable to indemnify the Director under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without the Bank’s written consent. The Bank shall not settle any action or claim in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on the Director without the Director’s prior written consent. Neither the Bank nor the Director will unreasonably withhold consent to any proposed settlement.

SECTION 16. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (i) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom the notice or other communication shall have been

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim financial statements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (the “Bank”) are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions provided by Article 10, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The financial statements contain all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Bank’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.

The Bank’s significant accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The interim financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the Bank’s audited financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the Bank’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on March 22, 2018 (the “2017 10-K”). The notes to the interim financial statements update and/or highlight significant changes to the notes included in the 2017 10-K.

The Bank is one of 11 district Federal Home Loan Banks, each individually a “FHLBank” and collectively the “FHLBanks,” and, together with the Office of Finance, a joint office of the FHLBanks, the “FHLBank System.” The Office of Finance manages the sale and servicing of the FHLBanks’ consolidated obligations. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (“Finance Agency”), an independent agency in the executive branch of the U.S. government, supervises and regulates the housing government-sponsored enterprises ("GSEs"), including the FHLBanks and the Office of Finance.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates. These assumptions and estimates may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. Significant estimates include the valuations of the Bank’s investment securities, as well as its derivative instruments and any associated hedged items. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance [Abstract]

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

Revenue from Contracts with Customers. On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"), which outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. In addition, ASU 2014-09 amends the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of non-financial assets that are not in a contract with a customer. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of certain other standards, such as financial instruments, certain guarantees, insurance contracts, and lease contracts. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016 (January 1, 2017 for the Bank). Early application was not permitted. On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 "Deferral of Effective Date," which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. Earlier application was permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Bank adopted ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Bank's results of operations or financial condition.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. On January 5, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("ASU 2016-01"), which makes targeted improvements to existing U.S. GAAP by: (i) requiring certain equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings, (ii) simplifying the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values, (iii) requiring public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, (iv) requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the statement of condition or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements, (v) eliminating the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for organizations that are not public business entities, (vi) eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the statement of condition, (vii) requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments, and (viii) clarifying that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity's other deferred tax assets. For public business entities, the guidance in ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption was permitted for certain provisions. The Bank adopted ASU 2016-01 effective January 1, 2018. In conjunction with the adoption of ASU 2016-01, the Bank reclassified $12,082,000 of marketable equity securities (which consist solely of mutual fund investments associated with the Bank's non-qualified deferred compensation plans) from trading securities to other assets on January 1, 2018. Other than this reclassification, the adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have any impact on the Bank's results of operations or financial condition.

Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15"), which clarifies the guidance for classifying certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is intended to reduce existing diversity in practice regarding eight specific cash flow presentation issues. For public business entities, the guidance in ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted. The guidance is to be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied as if the change was made prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Bank adopted ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the Bank's statement of cash flows, nor did it have any impact on the Bank's results of operations or financial condition.

Restricted Cash. On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Restricted Cash" ("ASU 2016-18"), which clarifies the guidance for classifying and presenting certain cash transfers, cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is intended to reduce existing diversity in practice regarding restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. For public business entities, the guidance in ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted. The guidance is to be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018 did not have any impact on the Bank's statement of cash flows, nor did it have any impact on the Bank's results of operations or financial condition.

Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. On March 10, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" ("ASU 2017-07"). ASU 2017-07 requires an employer to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost (net benefit cost). ASU 2017-07 requires an employer to report the service cost component in the same income statement line item as other compensation costs. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component. Further, ASU 2017-07 allows only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. For public business entities, the guidance in ASU 2017-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in ASU 2017-07 are to be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net benefit cost in assets. Subsequent to the adoption of ASU 2017-07 on January 1, 2018, the Bank continues to report the service cost component of its net periodic postretirement benefit cost in compensation and benefits expense. On and after January 1, 2018, the Bank reports the other components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost (which in aggregate were credits of $17,000 and $50,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively) in "other, net" in the other income (loss) section of the statement of income. Because the components of the Bank's net periodic postretirement benefit cost other than the service cost component were insignificant for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (see Note 14), such amounts were not reclassified and are reported in compensation and benefits expense for that period. The adoption of ASU 2017-07 did not have any impact on the Bank's financial condition.

Derivatives and Hedging. On August 28, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" ("ASU 2017-12"), which is intended 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. For cash flow hedges, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness must be recorded in other comprehensive income. In addition, the guidance provides for, but does not require, the use of a qualitative method of assessing hedge effectiveness. Among other things, the guidance also permits, but does not require, the following:

• For fair value hedges, measurement of the change in fair value of the hedged item on the basis of the benchmark rate component of the contractual coupon cash flows determined at hedge inception.

• Partial-term fair value hedges of interest-rate risk, in which it can be assumed that the hedged item has a term that reflects only the designated cash flows being hedged.

• For prepayable financial instruments, consideration only of how changes in the benchmark interest rate affect a decision to settle a debt instrument before its scheduled maturity in calculating the change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to interest rate risk.

• For a cash flow hedge of interest-rate risk of a variable-rate financial instrument, designation of the variability in cash flows attributable to the contractually specified interest rate as the hedged risk (when the contractually specified variable rate is not a benchmark rate).

• For a closed portfolio of prepayable financial assets or one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of prepayable financial instruments, designation of an amount that is not expected to be affected by prepayments, defaults and other events affecting the timing and amount of cash flows as a hedged item (commonly referred to as the "last-of-layer" method).

For public business entities, the guidance in ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (January 1, 2019 for the Bank), and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted. If an entity early adopts ASU 2017-12 in an interim period, any adjustments must be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. For cash flow hedges existing on the date of adoption, an entity is required to eliminate the separate measurement of ineffectiveness in earnings by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Among other things, an entity may elect at transition to modify the measurement methodology for hedged items in existing fair value hedges to the benchmark rate component of the contractual coupon cash flows. The cumulative effect of applying this election is recognized as an adjustment to the basis adjustment of the hedged item recognized on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively.

The Bank will adopt ASU 2017-12 effective January 1, 2019. At adoption, the Bank does not intend to modify any of its then existing fair value or cash flow hedging relationships. Because the Bank has not had any ineffectiveness associated with its cash flow hedges, it does not currently expect that a cumulative effect adjustment relating to such hedges will be required. ASU 2017-12 will prospectively affect the Bank’s income statement presentation for fair value hedge ineffectiveness and, consequently, will result in more variability in the Bank's net interest income and, correspondingly, its total net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities. This required change in presentation will not have any impact on the Bank's net income. For some of its fair value hedging relationships entered into after January 1, 2019, the Bank may elect to use the benchmark rate component of the coupon cash flows to measure the hedged item. Following adoption, the Bank does not expect to change the way in which it assesses the effectiveness of its hedging relationships. Finally, the Bank is continuing to assess other opportunities that are available under the new guidance including, but not limited to, the potential reclassification at adoption of certain debt securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale and the post adoption use of the last-of-layer method.

Fair Value Measurement Disclosures. On August 28, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement" ("ASU 2018-13"), which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in an effort to improve disclosure effectiveness. ASU 2018-13 removes or modifies certain existing disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements, including a clarification that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is intended to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. In addition to the limited removals and modifications, the guidance requires public business entities to disclose: (i) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and (ii) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements (together, the "new disclosure requirements").

The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (January 1, 2020 for the Bank). The new disclosure requirements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty are to be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted. In addition, an entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 will not have any impact on the Bank's results of operations or financial condition.

Defined Benefit Plan Disclosures. On August 28, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans" ("ASU 2018-14"), which modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans in an effort to improve disclosure effectiveness. ASU 2018-14 removes specified disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarifies the specific requirements of certain other disclosures, and requires new disclosures regarding (i) the weighted-average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates and (ii) an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period.

For public business entities, ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2018-14 is expected to have a minimal impact on the Bank's disclosures and it will not have any impact on the Bank's results of operations or financial condition.

Implementation Costs Associated with Cloud Computing Arrangements. On August 29, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract" ("ASU 2018-15"), which clarifies the accounting for implementation costs associated with a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). ASU 2018-15 also addresses the term over which these capitalized implementation costs should be expensed. ASU 2018-15 does not affect the accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract.

For public business entities, ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (January 1, 2020 for the Bank). Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The guidance is to be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Bank's results of operations or financial condition.

Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate Overnight Index Swap Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate. On October 25, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, "Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes" ("ASU 2018-16"). ASU 2018-16 adds the OIS rate based on SOFR (a swap rate based on the underlying overnight SOFR rate) as an eligible benchmark interest rate for purposes of applying hedge accounting. SOFR is a volume-weighted median interest rate that is calculated daily based on overnight transactions from the prior day's trading activity in specified segments of the U.S. Treasury repo market. SOFR was selected by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee as its preferred alternative reference rate to LIBOR.

For entities that have not already adopted ASU 2017-12, the guidance in ASU 2018-16 is required to be adopted concurrently with the adoption of ASU 2017-12 (January 1, 2019 for the Bank). The guidance is to be applied prospectively to qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on and after the date of adoption.

At September 30, 2018, the gross unrealized losses on the Bank’s available-for-sale securities were $4,457,000. All of the Bank's available-for-sale securities are either guaranteed by the U.S. government, issued by GSEs, or fully secured by collateral that is guaranteed by the U.S government. As of September 30, 2018, the U.S. government and the issuers of the Bank’s holdings of GSE debentures and GSE MBS were rated triple-A by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) and Fitch Ratings, Ltd. (“Fitch”) and AA+ by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”). The Bank's holdings of PEFCO debentures are rated triple-A by Moody's and Fitch, and are not rated by S&P. Based upon the Bank's assessment of the creditworthiness of the issuers of the GSE debentures that were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2018 and the credit ratings assigned by each of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”), the Bank expects that these debentures would not be settled at an amount less than the Bank's amortized cost bases in the investments. In addition, based upon the Bank's assessment of the strength of the GSEs' guarantees of the Bank's holdings of GSE commercial MBS and the credit ratings assigned by each of the NRSROs, the Bank expects that its holdings of GSE commercial MBS that were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2018 would not be settled at an amount less than the Bank’s amortized cost bases in these investments. Because the current market value deficits associated with the Bank's available-for-sale securities are not attributable to credit quality, and because the Bank does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, the Bank does not consider any of these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2018.

Redemption Terms. The amortized cost and estimated fair value of available-for-sale securities by contractual maturity at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are presented below (in thousands).

	September 30, 2018				December 31, 2017

Interest Rate Payment Terms. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, all of the Bank's available-for-sale securities were fixed rate securities which were swapped to a variable rate.

Sales of Securities. There were no sales of available-for-sale securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 or the three months ended September 30, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Bank sold available-for-sale securities with an amortized cost (determined by the specific identification method) of $248,425,000. Proceeds from the sales totaled $250,262,000, resulting in realized gains of $1,837,000.

At September 30, 2018, the gross unrealized losses on the Bank’s held-to-maturity securities were $2,474,000, of which $797,000 were attributable to its holdings of non-agency (i.e., private-label) residential MBS, $203,000 were attributable to securities that are issued and guaranteed by GSEs and $1,474,000 were attributable to a security issued by a state housing agency.

As of September 30, 2018, the U.S. government and the issuers of the Bank’s holdings of GSE MBS were rated triple-A by Moody’s and Fitch and AA+ by S&P. Based upon the credit ratings assigned by the NRSROs and the Bank's assessment of the strength of the GSEs’ guarantees of the Bank’s holdings of GSE MBS, the Bank expects that its holdings of GSE MBS that were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2018 would not be settled at an amount less than the Bank’s amortized cost bases in these investments. In addition, based upon the Bank's assessment of the creditworthiness of the state housing agency and the triple-A credit ratings assigned by Moody's and S&P, the Bank expects that the state housing agency debenture that was in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2018 would not be settled at an amount less than the Bank’s amortized cost basis in this investment. Because the current market value deficits associated with these securities are not attributable to credit quality, and because the Bank does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, the Bank does not consider any of these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2018.

The deterioration in the U.S. housing markets that occurred primarily during the period from 2007 through 2011, as reflected during that period by declines in the values of residential real estate and higher levels of delinquencies, defaults and losses on residential mortgages, including the mortgages underlying the Bank’s non-agency residential MBS (“RMBS”), generally increased the risk that the Bank may not ultimately recover the entire cost bases of some of its non-agency RMBS. However, based upon its analysis of the securities in this portfolio, the Bank believes that the unrealized losses as of September 30, 2018 were principally the result of liquidity risk related discounts in the non-agency RMBS market and do not accurately reflect the currently likely future credit performance of the securities.

Because the ultimate receipt of contractual payments on the Bank’s non-agency RMBS will depend upon the credit and prepayment performance of the underlying loans and the credit enhancements for the senior securities owned by the Bank, the Bank closely monitors these investments in an effort to determine whether the credit enhancement associated with each security is sufficient to protect against potential losses of principal and interest on the underlying mortgage loans. The credit enhancement for each of the Bank’s non-agency RMBS is provided by a senior/subordinate structure, and none of the securities owned by the Bank are insured by third-party bond insurers. More specifically, each of the Bank’s non-agency RMBS represents a single security class within a securitization that has multiple classes of securities. Each security class has a distinct claim on the cash flows from the underlying mortgage loans, with the subordinate securities having a junior claim relative to the more senior securities. The Bank’s non-agency RMBS have a senior claim on the cash flows from the underlying mortgage loans.

To assess whether the entire amortized cost bases of its 22 non-agency RMBS holdings are likely to be recovered, the Bank performed a cash flow analysis for each security as of September 30, 2018 using two third-party models. The first model considers borrower characteristics and the particular attributes of the loans underlying the Bank’s securities, in conjunction with assumptions about future changes in home prices and interest rates, to project prepayments, defaults and loss severities. A significant input to the first model is the forecast of future housing price changes for the relevant states and core based statistical areas (“CBSAs”), which are based upon an assessment of the individual housing markets. (The term “CBSA” refers collectively to metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget; as currently defined, a CBSA must contain at least one urban area of 10,000 or more people.) The Bank’s housing price forecast as of September 30, 2018 assumed changes in home prices ranging from declines of 10 percent to increases of 15 percent over the 12-month period beginning July 1, 2018. For the vast majority of markets, the changes were projected to range from increases of 3 percent to 7 percent. Thereafter, home price changes for each market were projected to return (at varying rates and over varying transition periods based on historical housing price patterns) to their long-term historical equilibrium levels. Following these transition periods, the constant long-term annual rates of appreciation for the vast majority of markets were projected to range between 2 percent and 5 percent.

The month-by-month projections of future loan performance derived from the first model, which reflect projected prepayments, defaults and loss severities, are then input into a second model that allocates the projected loan level cash flows and losses to the various security classes in the securitization structure in accordance with its prescribed cash flow and loss allocation rules. In a securitization in which the credit enhancement for the senior securities is derived from the presence of subordinate securities, losses are generally allocated first to the subordinate securities until their principal balance is reduced to zero.

Based on the results of its cash flow analyses, the Bank determined it is likely that it will fully recover the remaining amortized cost bases of all of its non-agency RMBS. Because the Bank does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their remaining amortized cost bases, none of the Bank's non-agency RMBS were deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2018.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, one of the Bank's non-agency RMBS was determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired. In addition, 14 of the Bank's non-agency RMBS were determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired in periods prior to 2013.

The following table presents a rollforward for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 of the amount related to credit losses on the Bank’s non-agency RMBS holdings for which a portion of an other-than-temporary impairment was recognized in other comprehensive income (in thousands).

Sales of Securities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bank sold held-to-maturity securities with an amortized cost (determined by the specific identification method) of $41,498,000. Proceeds from the sale totaled $42,563,000, resulting in realized gains of $1,065,000. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Bank sold held-to-maturity securities with an amortized cost (determined by the specific identification method) of $59,763,000 and $158,806,000, respectively. Proceeds from these sales totaled $61,856,000 and $162,789,000, respectively, resulting in realized gains of $2,093,000 and $3,983,000, respectively. For each of these securities, the Bank had previously collected at least 85 percent of the principal outstanding at the time of acquisition. As such, the sales were considered maturities for purposes of security classification.

The Bank offers advances to members that may be prepaid on specified dates without the member incurring prepayment or termination fees (prepayable and callable advances). The prepayment of other advances requires the payment of a fee to the Bank (prepayment fee) if necessary to make the Bank financially indifferent to the prepayment of the advance. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank had aggregate prepayable and callable advances totaling $10,592,732,000 and $9,684,619,000, respectively.

The following table summarizes advances outstanding at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, by the earlier of contractual maturity or next call date, or the first date on which prepayable advances can be repaid without a prepayment fee (in thousands):

The Bank also offers putable advances. With a putable advance, the Bank purchases a put option from the member that allows the Bank to terminate the fixed-rate advance on specified dates and offer, subject to certain conditions, replacement funding at prevailing market rates. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank had putable advances outstanding totaling $2,641,100,000 and $1,113,500,000, respectively.

The following table summarizes advances outstanding at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, by the earlier of contractual maturity or next possible put date (in thousands):

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 21 percent and 19 percent, respectively, of the Bank’s fixed-rate advances were swapped to a variable rate.

Prepayment Fees. When a member/borrower prepays an advance, the Bank could suffer lower future income if the principal portion of the prepaid advance is reinvested in lower-yielding assets. To protect against this risk, the Bank generally charges a prepayment fee that makes it financially indifferent to a borrower’s decision to prepay an advance. The Bank records prepayment fees received from members/borrowers on prepaid advances net of any associated hedging adjustments on those advances. These fees are reflected as interest income in the statements of income either immediately (as prepayment fees on advances) or over time (as interest income on advances) as further described below. In cases in which the Bank funds a new advance concurrent with or within a short period of time before or after the prepayment of an existing advance and the advance meets the accounting criteria to qualify as a modification of the prepaid advance, the net prepayment fee on the prepaid advance is deferred, recorded in the basis of the modified advance, and amortized into interest income on advances over the life of the modified advance using the level-yield method. During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, gross advance prepayment fees received from members/borrowers were $29,000 and $712,000, respectively, of which $0 and $476,000, respectively, were deferred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, gross advance prepayment fees received from members/borrowers were $1,788,000 and $1,578,000, respectively, of which $0 and $695,000, respectively, were deferred.

The Bank also offers advances that include a symmetrical prepayment feature which allows a member to prepay an advance at the lower of par value or fair value plus a make-whole amount payable to the Bank. There were no prepayments of symmetrical prepayment advances during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, symmetrical prepayment advances with aggregate par values of $6,000,000 and $17,000,000, respectively, were prepaid. The differences by which the par values of these advances exceeded their fair values, less the make-whole amounts, totaled $4,000 and $194,000, respectively, and were recorded in prepayment fees on advances, net of the associated hedging adjustments on the advances.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Allowance for Credit Losses [Abstract]

Allowance for Credit Losses [Text Block]

Allowance for Credit Losses

An allowance for credit losses is separately established for each of the Bank’s identified portfolio segments, if necessary, to provide for probable losses inherent in its financing receivables portfolio and other off-balance sheet credit exposures as of the balance sheet date. To the extent necessary, an allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures is recorded as a liability.

A portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses. The Bank has developed and documented a systematic methodology for determining an allowance for credit losses for the following portfolio segments: (1) advances and other extensions of credit to members/borrowers, collectively referred to as “extensions of credit to members”; (2) government-guaranteed/insured mortgage loans held for portfolio; and (3) conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio.

Classes of financing receivables are generally a disaggregation of a portfolio segment and are determined on the basis of their initial measurement attribute, the risk characteristics of the financing receivable and an entity’s method for monitoring and assessing credit risk. Because the credit risk arising from the Bank’s financing receivables is assessed and measured at the portfolio segment level, the Bank does not have separate classes of financing receivables within each of its portfolio segments.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no significant purchases or sales of financing receivables, nor were any financing receivables reclassified to held for sale.

As discussed below, the Bank did not provide for any credit losses on its extensions of credit to members during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. For a discussion regarding the Bank's assessment of the impact of hurricanes and wildfires that occurred in 2017 and 2018, see Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies.

Advances and Other Extensions of Credit to Members. In accordance with federal statutes, including the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (the “FHLB Act”), the Bank lends to financial institutions within its five-state district that are involved in housing finance. The FHLB Act requires the Bank to obtain and maintain sufficient collateral for advances and other extensions of credit to protect against losses. The Bank makes advances and otherwise extends credit only against eligible collateral, as defined by regulation. To ensure the value of collateral pledged to the Bank is sufficient to secure its advances and other extensions of credit, the Bank applies various haircuts, or discounts, to the collateral to determine the value against which borrowers may borrow. As additional security, the Bank has a statutory lien on each borrower’s capital stock in the Bank.

On at least a quarterly basis, the Bank evaluates all outstanding extensions of credit to members/borrowers for potential credit losses. These evaluations include a review of: (1) the amount, type and performance of collateral available to secure the outstanding obligations; (2) metrics that may be indicative of changes in the financial condition and general creditworthiness of the member/borrower; and (3) the payment status of the obligations. Any outstanding extensions of credit that exhibit a potential credit weakness that could jeopardize the full collection of the outstanding obligations would be classified as substandard, doubtful or loss. The Bank did not have any advances or other extensions of credit to members/borrowers that were classified as substandard, doubtful or loss at September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

The Bank considers the amount, type and performance of collateral to be the primary indicator of credit quality with respect to its extensions of credit to members/borrowers. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank had rights to collateral on a borrower-by-borrower basis with an estimated value in excess of each borrower’s outstanding extensions of credit.

The Bank continues to evaluate and, as necessary, modify its credit extension and collateral policies based on market conditions. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank did not have any advances that were past due, on nonaccrual status, or considered impaired. There have been no troubled debt restructurings related to advances.

The Bank has never experienced a credit loss on an advance or any other extension of credit to a member/borrower and, based on its credit extension and collateral policies, management currently does not anticipate any credit losses on its extensions of credit to members/borrowers. Accordingly, the Bank has not provided any allowance for credit losses on advances, nor has it recorded any liabilities to reflect an allowance for credit losses related to its off-balance sheet credit exposures.

Mortgage Loans — Government-guaranteed or government-insured. The Bank’s government-guaranteed or government-insured fixed-rate mortgage loans are guaranteed or insured by the Federal Housing Administration or the Department of Veterans Affairs and were acquired through the MPF program (as more fully described in the Bank’s 2017 10-K) in periods prior to 2004. Any losses from these loans are expected to be recovered from those entities. Any losses from these loans that are not recovered from those entities are absorbed by the servicers. Therefore, the Bank has not established an allowance for credit losses on government-guaranteed or government-insured mortgage loans. Government-guaranteed or government-insured loans are not placed on nonaccrual status.

Mortgage Loans — Conventional Mortgage Loans. The Bank’s conventional mortgage loans have also been acquired through the MPF program. The allowance for losses on conventional mortgage loans is determined by an analysis that includes consideration of various data such as past performance, current performance, loan portfolio characteristics, collateral-related characteristics, and prevailing economic conditions. The allowance for losses on conventional mortgage loans also factors in the credit enhancement under the MPF program. Any incurred losses that are expected to be recovered from the credit enhancements are not reserved as part of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses.

The Bank places a conventional mortgage loan on nonaccrual status when the collection of the contractual principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. When a mortgage loan is placed on nonaccrual status, accrued but uncollected interest is reversed against interest income. The Bank records cash payments received on nonaccrual loans first as interest income until it recovers all interest, and then as a reduction of principal. A loan on nonaccrual status is restored to accrual status when none of its contractual principal and interest is due and unpaid, and the Bank expects repayment of the remaining contractual interest and principal.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Collateral-dependent loans that are on nonaccrual status are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the underlying property less estimated selling costs. Loans are considered collateral-dependent if repayment is expected to be provided solely by the sale of the underlying property; that is, there is no other available and reliable source of repayment. A collateral-dependent loan is impaired if the fair value of the underlying collateral is insufficient to recover the unpaid principal and interest on the loan. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized in the same manner as it is for nonaccrual loans noted above.

The Bank evaluates whether to record a charge-off on a conventional mortgage loan when the loan becomes 180 days or more past due or upon the occurrence of a confirming event, whichever occurs first. Confirming events include, but are not limited to, the occurrence of foreclosure or notification of a claim against any of the credit enhancements. A charge-off is recorded if the recorded investment in the loan will not be recovered.

The Bank considers the key credit quality indicator for conventional mortgage loans to be the payment status of each loan. The table below summarizes the recorded investment by payment status for mortgage loans at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands).

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank’s other assets included $30,000 and $49,000, respectively, of real estate owned.

Mortgage loans are considered impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage loan agreement. Each nonaccrual mortgage loan and each troubled debt restructuring is specifically reviewed for impairment. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank did not have any troubled debt restructurings related to mortgage loans. At these dates, the estimated value of the collateral securing each nonaccrual loan, plus the estimated amount that can be recovered through credit enhancements and mortgage insurance, if any, exceeded the outstanding loan amount. Therefore, no specific reserve was established for any of the nonaccrual mortgage loans. The remaining conventional mortgage loans were evaluated for impairment on a pool basis. Based upon the current and past performance of these loans and current economic conditions, the Bank determined that an allowance for loan losses of $382,000 was adequate to reserve for credit losses in its conventional mortgage loan portfolio at September 30, 2018. The following table presents the activity in the allowance for credit losses on conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

Consolidated Obligations

Consolidated obligations are the joint and several obligations of the FHLBanks and consist of consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes. Consolidated obligations are backed only by the financial resources of the 11 FHLBanks. Consolidated obligations are not obligations of, nor are they guaranteed by, the U.S. government. The FHLBanks issue consolidated obligations through the Office of Finance as their agent. In connection with each debt issuance, one or more of the FHLBanks specifies the amount of debt it wants issued on its behalf; the Bank receives the proceeds of only the debt issued on its behalf and records on its statements of condition only that portion of the consolidated obligations for which it has received the proceeds. Consolidated obligation bonds are issued primarily to raise intermediate- and long-term funds for the FHLBanks and are not subject to any statutory or regulatory limits on maturity. Consolidated obligation discount notes are issued to raise short-term funds and have maturities of one year or less. These notes are issued at a price that is less than their face amount and are redeemed at par value when they mature. For additional information regarding the FHLBanks’ joint and several liability on consolidated obligations, see Note 16.

The par amounts of the 11 FHLBanks’ outstanding consolidated obligations, including consolidated obligations held as investments by other FHLBanks, were approximately $1.019 trillion and $1.034 trillion at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The Bank was the primary obligor on $68.8 billion and $64.1 billion (at par value), respectively, of these consolidated obligations.

Assets and Liabilities Subject to Offsetting

Assets and Liabilities Subject to Offsetting [Abstract]

Assets and Liabilities Subject to Offsetting [Text Block]

Assets and Liabilities Subject to Offsetting

The Bank has derivatives and securities purchased under agreements to resell that are subject to enforceable master netting agreements or similar arrangements. For purposes of reporting derivative assets and derivative liabilities, the Bank offsets the fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments (including the right to reclaim cash collateral and the obligation to return cash collateral) where a legally enforceable right of setoff exists. The Bank did not have any liabilities that were eligible to offset its securities purchased under agreements to resell (i.e., securities sold under agreements to repurchase) as of September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

The Bank's derivative transactions are executed either bilaterally or, if required, cleared through a third-party central clearinghouse. The Bank has entered into master agreements with each of its bilateral derivative counterparties that provide for the netting of all transactions with each of these counterparties. Under its master agreements with its non-member bilateral derivative counterparties, collateral is delivered (or returned) daily when certain thresholds (ranging from $100,000 to $500,000) are met. The Bank offsets the fair value amounts recognized for bilaterally traded derivatives executed with the same counterparty, including any cash collateral remitted to or received from the counterparty. When entering into derivative transactions with its members, the Bank requires the member to post eligible collateral in an amount equal to the sum of the net market value of the member’s derivative transactions with the Bank (if the value is positive to the Bank) plus a percentage of the notional amount of any interest rate swaps, with market values determined on at least a monthly basis. Eligible collateral for derivative transactions with members consists of collateral that is eligible to secure advances and other obligations under the member's Advances and Security Agreement with the Bank. The Bank is not required to pledge collateral to its members to secure derivative positions.

For cleared derivatives, all transactions with each clearing member of each clearinghouse are netted pursuant to legally enforceable setoff rights. Cleared derivatives are subject to initial and variation margin requirements established by the clearinghouse and its clearing members. Effective January 3, 2017, one of the Bank's two clearinghouse counterparties made certain amendments to its rulebook that changed the legal characterization of variation margin payments on cleared derivatives to settlements on the contracts. Effective January 16, 2018, the Bank's other clearinghouse counterparty made similar amendments to its rulebook. Prior to the dates upon which these amendments became effective, the variation margin payments were in each case characterized as collateral pledged to secure outstanding credit exposure on the derivative contracts. Initial and variation margin (regardless of whether it is characterized as collateral or settlements) is typically delivered/paid (or returned/received) daily and is not subject to any maximum unsecured thresholds. The Bank offsets the fair value amounts recognized for cleared derivatives transacted with each clearing member of each clearinghouse (which fair value amounts include variation margin paid or received on daily settled contracts) and any cash collateral pledged or received.

The following table presents derivative instruments and securities purchased under agreements to resell with the legal right of offset, including the related collateral received from or pledged to counterparties as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (in thousands). For daily settled derivative contracts, the variation margin payments/receipts are included in the gross amounts of derivative assets and liabilities.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Hedging Activities. As a financial intermediary, the Bank is exposed to interest rate risk. This risk arises from a variety of financial instruments that the Bank enters into on a regular basis in the normal course of its business. The Bank enters into interest rate swap, swaption, cap and forward rate agreements (collectively, interest rate exchange agreements) to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. The Bank may use these instruments to adjust the effective maturity, repricing frequency, or option characteristics of financial instruments to achieve risk management objectives. In addition, the Bank may use these instruments to hedge the variable cash flows associated with forecasted transactions. The Bank has not entered into any credit default swaps or foreign exchange-related derivatives and, as of September 30, 2018, it was not a party to any forward rate agreements.

The Bank uses interest rate exchange agreements in three ways: (1) by designating the agreement as a fair value hedge of a specific financial instrument or firm commitment; (2) by designating the agreement as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction; or (3) by designating the agreement as a hedge of some other defined risk (referred to as an “economic hedge”). For example, the Bank uses interest rate exchange agreements in its overall interest rate risk management activities to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of consolidated obligations to approximate more closely the interest rate sensitivity of its assets (both advances and investments), and/or to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of advances or investments to approximate more closely the interest rate sensitivity of its liabilities. In addition to using interest rate exchange agreements to manage mismatches between the coupon features of its assets and liabilities, the Bank also uses interest rate exchange agreements to, among other things, manage embedded options in assets and liabilities, to preserve the market value of existing assets and liabilities, to hedge the duration risk of prepayable instruments, to hedge the variable cash flows associated with forecasted transactions, to offset interest rate exchange agreements entered into with members (the Bank serves as an intermediary in these transactions), and to reduce funding costs.

The Bank, consistent with Finance Agency regulations, enters into interest rate exchange agreements only to reduce potential market risk exposures inherent in otherwise unhedged assets and liabilities or anticipated transactions, or to act as an intermediary between its members and the Bank’s non-member derivative counterparties. The Bank is not a derivatives dealer and it does not trade derivatives for short-term profit.

At inception, the Bank formally documents the relationships between derivatives designated as hedging instruments and their hedged items, its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transactions, and its method for assessing the effectiveness of the hedging relationships. For fair value hedges, this process includes linking the derivatives to: (1) specific assets and liabilities on the statements of condition or (2) firm commitments. For cash flow hedges, this process includes linking the derivatives to forecasted transactions. The Bank also formally assesses (both at the inception of the hedging relationship and on a monthly basis thereafter) whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of hedged items or the cash flows associated with forecasted transactions and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain effective in future periods. The Bank uses regression analyses to assess the effectiveness of its hedges.

 Investment Securities and Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio — The Bank has invested in agency and non-agency MBS and residential mortgage loans. The interest rate and prepayment risk associated with these investments is managed through consolidated obligations and/or derivatives. The Bank may manage prepayment and duration risk presented by some of these investments with either callable and/or non-callable consolidated obligations and/or interest rate exchange agreements, including interest rate swaps, swaptions and caps.

A substantial portion of the Bank’s held-to-maturity securities are variable-rate MBS that include caps that would limit the variable-rate coupons if short-term interest rates rise dramatically. To hedge a portion of the potential cap risk embedded in these securities, the Bank has entered into interest rate cap agreements. These derivatives are treated as economic hedges.

All of the Bank's available-for-sale securities are fixed-rate agency and other highly rated debentures and agency commercial MBS. To hedge the interest rate risk associated with these fixed-rate investment securities, the Bank has entered into fixed-for-floating interest rate exchange agreements, which are designated as fair value hedges.

Approximately one-half of the Bank's trading securities are fixed-rate U.S. Treasury Notes that were acquired with short remaining terms to maturity. To convert these fixed-rate investment securities to a short-term floating rate, the Bank entered into fixed-for-floating interest rate exchange agreements that are indexed to the overnight index swap ("OIS") rate. These derivatives are treated as economic hedges.

The interest rate swaps and swaptions that are used by the Bank to hedge the risks associated with its mortgage loan portfolio are treated as economic hedges.

Advances — The Bank issues both fixed-rate and variable-rate advances. When appropriate, the Bank uses interest rate exchange agreements to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of its fixed-rate advances to approximate more closely the interest rate sensitivity of its liabilities. With issuances of putable advances, the Bank purchases from the member a put option that enables the Bank to terminate a fixed-rate advance on specified future dates. This embedded option is clearly and closely related to the host advance contract. The Bank typically hedges a putable advance by entering into a cancelable interest rate exchange agreement where the Bank pays a fixed-rate coupon and receives a variable-rate coupon, and sells an option to cancel the swap to the swap counterparty. This type of hedge is treated as a fair value hedge. The swap counterparty can cancel the interest rate exchange agreement on the call date and the Bank can cancel the putable advance and offer, subject to certain conditions, replacement funding at prevailing market rates.

A small portion of the Bank’s variable-rate advances are subject to interest rate caps that would limit the variable-rate coupons if short-term interest rates rise above a predetermined level. To hedge the cap risk embedded in these advances, the Bank generally enters into interest rate cap agreements. This type of hedge is treated as a fair value hedge.

The Bank may hedge a firm commitment for a forward-starting advance through the use of an interest rate swap. In this case, the swap will function as the hedging instrument for both the firm commitment and the subsequent advance. The carrying value of the firm commitment will be included in the basis of the advance at the time the commitment is terminated and the advance is issued. The basis adjustment will then be amortized into interest income over the life of the advance.

The Bank enters into optional advance commitments with its members. In an optional advance commitment, the Bank sells an option to the member that provides the member with the right to increase the amount of an existing advance at a specified fixed rate and term on a specified future date, provided the member has satisfied all of the customary requirements for such advance. This embedded option is clearly and closely related to the host contract. The Bank may hedge an optional advance commitment through the use of an interest rate swaption. In this case, the swaption will function as the hedging instrument for both the commitment and, if the option is exercised by the member, the subsequent advance. These swaptions are treated as fair value hedges.

Consolidated Obligations— While consolidated obligations are the joint and several obligations of the FHLBanks, each FHLBank is the primary obligor for the consolidated obligations it has issued or assumed from another FHLBank. The Bank generally enters into derivative contracts to hedge the interest rate risk associated with its specific debt issuances.

To manage the interest rate risk of certain of its consolidated obligations, the Bank will match the cash outflow on a consolidated obligation with the cash inflow of an interest rate exchange agreement. With issuances of fixed-rate consolidated obligation bonds, the Bank typically enters into a matching interest rate exchange agreement in which the counterparty pays fixed cash flows to the Bank that are designed to mirror in timing and amount the cash outflows the Bank pays on the consolidated obligation. In this transaction, the Bank pays a variable cash flow that closely matches the interest payments it receives on short-term or variable-rate assets, typically one-month or three-month LIBOR. These transactions are treated as fair value hedges. On occasion, the Bank may enter into fixed-for-floating interest rate exchange agreements to hedge the interest rate risk associated with certain of its consolidated obligation discount notes. The derivatives associated with the Bank’s fair value discount note hedging are treated as economic hedges. The Bank may also use interest rate exchange agreements to convert variable-rate consolidated obligation bonds from one index rate (e.g., the daily effective federal funds rate) to another index rate (e.g., one-month or three-month LIBOR). These transactions are treated as economic hedges.

The Bank has not issued consolidated obligations denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars.

Forecasted Issuances of Consolidated Obligations— The Bank uses derivatives to hedge the variability of cash flows over a specified period of time as a result of the forecasted issuances and maturities of short-term, fixed-rate instruments, such as three-month consolidated obligation discount notes. Although each short-term consolidated obligation discount note has a fixed rate of interest, a portfolio of rolling consolidated obligation discount notes effectively has a variable interest rate. The variable cash flows associated with these liabilities are converted to fixed-rate cash flows by entering into receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps. The maturity dates of the cash flow streams are closely matched to the interest rate reset dates of the derivatives. These derivatives are treated as cash flow hedges.

Balance Sheet Management — From time to time, the Bank may enter into interest rate basis swaps to reduce its exposure to changing spreads between one-month and three-month LIBOR. In addition, to reduce its exposure to reset risk, the Bank may occasionally enter into forward rate agreements. These derivatives are treated as economic hedges.

Intermediation — The Bank offers interest rate swaps, caps and floors to its members to assist them in meeting their hedging needs. In these transactions, the Bank acts as an intermediary for its members by entering into an interest rate exchange agreement with a member and then entering into an offsetting interest rate exchange agreement with one of the Bank’s approved derivative counterparties. All interest rate exchange agreements related to the Bank’s intermediary activities with its members are accounted for as economic hedges.

Other — From time to time, the Bank may enter into derivatives to hedge risks to its earnings that are not directly linked to specific assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions. These derivatives are treated as economic hedges.

Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities. The Bank accounts for derivatives and hedging activities in accordance with the guidance in Topic 815 of the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) entitled “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). All derivatives are recognized on the statements of condition at their fair values, including accrued interest receivable and payable. For purposes of reporting derivative assets and derivative liabilities, the Bank offsets the fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments (including the right to reclaim cash collateral and the obligation to return cash collateral) where a legally enforceable right of setoff exists.

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is effective as — and that is designated and qualifies as — a fair value hedge, along with changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk (including changes that reflect gains or losses on firm commitments), are recorded in current period earnings. Any hedge ineffectiveness (which represents the amount by which the change in the fair value of the derivative differs from the change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk) is recorded in other income (loss) as “net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.” Net interest income/expense associated with derivatives that qualify for fair value hedge accounting under ASC 815 is recorded as a component of net interest income.

If fair value hedging relationships meet certain criteria specified in ASC 815, they are eligible for hedge accounting and the offsetting changes in fair value of the hedged items may be recorded in earnings. The application of hedge accounting generally requires the Bank to evaluate the effectiveness of the fair value hedging relationships on an ongoing basis and to calculate the changes in fair value of the derivatives and related hedged items independently. This is commonly known as the “long-haul” method of hedge accounting. Transactions that meet more stringent criteria qualify for the “shortcut” method of hedge accounting in which an assumption can be made that the change in fair value of a hedged item exactly offsets the change in value of the related derivative. The Bank considers hedges of committed advances to be eligible for the shortcut method of accounting as long as the settlement of the committed advance occurs within the shortest period possible for that type of instrument based on market settlement conventions, the fair value of the swap is zero at the inception of the hedging relationship, and the transaction meets all of the other criteria for shortcut accounting specified in ASC 815. The Bank has defined the market settlement convention to be five business days or less for advances.

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, to the extent that the hedge is effective, are recorded in AOCI until earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged transaction. Any ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge (which represents the amount by which the change in the fair value of the derivative differs from the change in fair value of a hypothetical derivative having terms that match identically the critical terms of the hedged forecasted transaction) is recognized in other income (loss) as “net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.”

An economic hedge is defined as a derivative hedging specific or non-specific assets or liabilities that does not qualify or was not designated for hedge accounting under ASC 815, but is an acceptable hedging strategy under the Bank’s Enterprise Market Risk Management Policy. These hedging strategies also comply with Finance Agency regulatory requirements prohibiting speculative derivative transactions. An economic hedge by definition introduces the potential for earnings variability as changes in the fair value of a derivative designated as an economic hedge are recorded in current period earnings with no offsetting fair value adjustment to an asset or liability. Both the net interest income/expense and the fair value changes associated with derivatives in economic hedging relationships are recorded in other income (loss) as “net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.”

The Bank records the changes in fair value of all derivatives (and, in the case of fair value hedges, the hedged items) beginning on the trade date.

Cash flows associated with all derivatives are reported as cash flows from operating activities in the statements of cash flows, unless the derivative contains an other-than-insignificant financing element, in which case its cash flows are reported as cash flows from financing activities.

The Bank may issue debt, make advances, or purchase financial instruments in which a derivative instrument is “embedded” and the financial instrument that embodies the embedded derivative instrument is not remeasured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur. Upon execution of these transactions, the Bank assesses whether the economic characteristics of the embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the remaining component of the financial instrument (i.e., the host contract) and whether a separate, non-embedded instrument with the same terms as the embedded instrument would meet the definition of a derivative instrument. When it is determined that (1) the embedded derivative possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract and (2) a separate, stand-alone instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded derivative is separated from the host contract, carried at fair value, and designated as either (1) a hedging instrument in a fair value hedge or (2) a stand-alone derivative instrument pursuant to an economic hedge. However, if the entire contract were to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in current earnings, or if the Bank could not reliably identify and measure the embedded derivative for purposes of separating that derivative from its host contract, the entire contract would be carried on the statement of condition at fair value and no portion of the contract would be separately accounted for as a derivative.

The Bank discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when: (1) management determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; (2) the derivative and/or the hedged item expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; (3) it is no longer probable that a forecasted transaction will occur within the originally specified time frame; (4) a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or (5) management determines that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument in accordance with ASC 815 is no longer appropriate.

In all cases in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Bank will carry the derivative at its fair value on the statement of condition, recognizing any additional changes in the fair value of the derivative in current period earnings.

When fair value hedge accounting for a specific derivative is discontinued due to the Bank’s determination that such derivative no longer qualifies for hedge accounting treatment or because the derivative is terminated, the Bank will cease to adjust the hedged asset or liability for changes in fair value and amortize the cumulative basis adjustment on the formerly hedged item into earnings over its remaining term using the level-yield method.

When hedge accounting is discontinued because the hedged item no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, the Bank continues to carry the derivative on the statement of condition at its fair value, removing from the statement of condition any asset or liability that was recorded to recognize the firm commitment and recording it as a gain or loss in current period earnings.

When cash flow hedge accounting for a specific derivative is discontinued due to the Bank's determination that such derivative no longer qualifies for hedge accounting treatment or because the derivative is terminated, the Bank will reclassify the cumulative fair value gains or losses recorded in AOCI as of the discontinuance date from AOCI into earnings when earnings are affected by the original forecasted transaction, except in cases where the cash flow hedge is discontinued because the forecasted transaction is no longer probable (i.e., the forecasted transaction will not occur in the originally expected period or within an additional two-month period of time thereafter). In such cases, any fair value gains or losses recorded in AOCI as of the determination date are immediately reclassified to earnings as a component of "net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities." Similarly, if the Bank expects at any time that continued reporting of a net loss in AOCI would lead to recognizing a net loss on the combination of the hedging instrument and hedged transaction in one or more future periods, the amount that is not expected to be recovered is immediately reclassified to earnings as a component of "net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities."

⁽¹⁾  Represents net interest income (expense) associated with the derivatives.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no amounts reclassified from AOCI into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges because the original forecasted transactions occurred by the end of the originally specified time periods or within two-month periods thereafter. At September 30, 2018, $4,492,000 of deferred net gains on derivative instruments in AOCI are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months. At September 30, 2018, the maximum length of time over which the Bank is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is 10 years.

Credit Risk Related to Derivatives. The Bank is subject to credit risk due to the risk of nonperformance by counterparties to its derivative agreements. The Bank manages derivative counterparty credit risk through the use of master netting agreements or other similar collateral exchange arrangements, credit analysis, and adherence to the requirements set forth in the Bank’s Enterprise Market Risk Management Policy, Enterprise Credit Risk Management Policy, and Finance Agency regulations. The majority of the Bank's derivative contracts have been cleared through third-party central clearinghouses (as of September 30, 2018, the notional balance of cleared transactions outstanding totaled $28.2 billion). With cleared transactions, the Bank is exposed to credit risk in the event that the clearinghouse or the clearing member fails to meet its obligations to the Bank. The remainder of the Bank's derivative contracts have been transacted bilaterally with large financial institutions under master netting agreements or, to a much lesser extent, with member institutions (as of September 30, 2018, the notional balance of outstanding transactions with non-member bilateral counterparties and member counterparties totaled $16.6 billion and $0.5 billion, respectively). Some of these institutions (or their affiliates) buy, sell, and distribute consolidated obligations.

The notional amount of the Bank's interest rate exchange agreements does not reflect its credit risk exposure, which is much less than the notional amount. The Bank's net credit risk exposure is based on the current estimated cost, on a present value basis, of replacing at current market rates all interest rate exchange agreements with individual counterparties, if those counterparties were to default, after taking into account the value of any cash and/or securities collateral held or remitted by the Bank. For counterparties with which the Bank is in a net gain position, the Bank has credit exposure when the collateral it is holding (if any) has a value less than the amount of the gain. For counterparties with which the Bank is in a net loss position, the Bank has credit exposure when it has delivered collateral with a value greater than the amount of the loss position. The net exposure on derivative agreements is presented in Note 11. Based on the netting provisions and collateral requirements associated with its derivative agreements and the creditworthiness of its derivative counterparties, Bank management does not currently anticipate any credit losses on its derivative agreements.

Members are required to maintain an investment in Class B Capital Stock equal to the sum of a membership investment requirement and an activity-based investment requirement. The membership investment requirement is currently 0.04 percent of each member’s total assets as of December 31, 2017, subject to a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $7,000,000. The activity-based investment requirement is currently 4.1 percent of outstanding advances, except as described below.

On September 21, 2015, the Bank announced a Board-authorized reduction in the activity-based stock investment requirement from 4.1 percent to 2.0 percent for certain advances that were funded during the period from October 21, 2015 through December 31, 2015. To be eligible for the reduced activity-based investment requirement, advances funded during this period had to have a minimum maturity of one year or greater, among other things. The standard activity-based stock investment requirement of 4.1 percent continued to apply to all other advances that were funded during the period from October 21, 2015 through December 31, 2015.

The Bank generally repurchases surplus stock quarterly. For the repurchases that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, surplus stock was defined as the amount of stock held by a member shareholder in excess of 125 percent of the shareholder’s minimum investment requirement. For those repurchases, which occurred on March 27, 2018, June 26, 2018 and September 24, 2018, a member shareholder's surplus stock was not repurchased if: (1) the amount of that shareholder's surplus stock was $2,500,000 or less, (2) the shareholder elected to opt-out of the repurchase, or (3) the shareholder was on restricted collateral status (subject to certain exceptions). On March 27, 2018, June 26, 2018 and September 24, 2018, the Bank repurchased surplus stock totaling $233,659,000, $99,285,000 and $223,761,000, respectively, none of which was classified as mandatorily redeemable capital stock at those dates. From time to time, the Bank may modify the definition of surplus stock or the timing and/or frequency of surplus stock repurchases.

On March 27, 2018, June 26, 2018 and September 24, 2018, the Bank also repurchased all excess stock held by non-member shareholders as of those dates. This excess stock, all of which was classified as mandatorily redeemable capital stock at those dates, totaled $5,363,000, $22,000 and $20,000, respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

Estimated Fair Values

Fair value is defined under U.S. GAAP 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. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. U.S. GAAP also requires an entity to disclose the level within the fair value hierarchy in which each measurement is classified. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

Level 1 Inputs — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.

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

Level 3 Inputs — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity. None of the Bank’s assets or liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were measured using significant Level 3 inputs.

For financial instruments carried at fair value, the Bank reviews the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of certain assets or liabilities. Reclassifications, if any, would be reported as transfers as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Bank did not reclassify any fair value measurements.

The following estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Bank using available market information and the Bank’s best judgment of appropriate valuation methods. These estimates are based on pertinent information available to the Bank as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Although the Bank uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique or valuation methodology. For example, because an active secondary market does not exist for many of the Bank’s financial instruments (e.g., advances, non-agency RMBS and mortgage loans held for portfolio), in certain cases their fair values are not subject to precise quantification or verification. Therefore, the estimated fair values presented below in the Fair Value Summary Tables may not be indicative of the amounts that would have been realized in market transactions at the reporting dates. Further, the fair values do not represent an estimate of the overall market value of the Bank as a going concern, which would take into account future business opportunities.

The valuation techniques used to measure the fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on the statement of condition are described below.

Trading and available-for-sale securities. To value its U.S. Treasury Notes and Bills classified as trading securities and all of its available-for-sale securities, the Bank obtains prices from three designated third-party pricing vendors when available.

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

A "median" price is first established for each security using a formula that is based upon the number of prices received. If three prices are received, the middle price is the median price; if two prices are received, the average of the two prices is the median price; and if one price is received, it is the median price (and also the final price) subject to some type of validation similar to the evaluation of outliers described below. All prices that are within a specified tolerance threshold of the median price are included in the “cluster” of prices that are averaged to compute a “default” price. All prices that are outside the threshold (“outliers”) are subject to further analysis (including, but not limited to, comparison to prices provided by an additional third-party valuation service, prices for similar securities, and/or non-binding dealer estimates) to determine if an outlier is a better estimate of fair value. If an outlier (or some other price identified in the analysis) is determined to be a better estimate of fair value, then the outlier (or the other price, as appropriate) is used as the final price rather than the default price. If, on the other hand, the analysis confirms that an outlier (or outliers) is (are) in fact not representative of fair value and the default price is the best estimate, then the default price is used as the final price. In all cases, the final price is used to determine the fair value of the security.

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

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, three vendor prices were received for substantially all of the Bank’s trading and available-for-sale securities and the final prices for substantially all of those securities were computed by averaging the three prices. Based on the Bank's understanding of the pricing methods employed by the third-party pricing vendors and the relative lack of dispersion among the vendor prices (or, in those instances in which there were outliers, the Bank's additional analyses), the Bank believes its final prices result in reasonable estimates of the fair values and that the fair value measurements are classified appropriately in the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative assets/liabilities. The fair values of the Bank’s interest rate swap and swaption agreements are estimated using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market (e.g., the relevant interest rate curves (that is, the relevant LIBOR swap curve and, for purposes of discounting, the OIS curve) and, for agreements containing options, swaption volatility). The fair values of the Bank’s interest rate caps and floors are also estimated using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market (that is, cap/floor volatility, the relevant LIBOR swap curve and, for purposes of discounting, the OIS curve).

As the collateral (or variation margin in the case of daily settled contracts) and netting provisions of the Bank’s arrangements with its derivative counterparties significantly reduce the risk from nonperformance (see Note 11), the Bank does not consider its own nonperformance risk or the nonperformance risk associated with each of its counterparties to be a significant factor in the valuation of its derivative assets and liabilities. The Bank compares the fair values obtained from its pricing model to clearinghouse valuations (in the case of cleared derivatives) and non-binding dealer estimates (in the case of bilateral derivatives) and may also compare its fair values to those of similar instruments to ensure that the fair values are reasonable.

The fair values of the Bank’s derivative assets and liabilities include accrued interest receivable/payable and cash collateral remitted to/received from counterparties; the estimated fair values of the accrued interest receivable/payable and cash collateral approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature. The fair values of the Bank's bilateral derivatives are netted by counterparty pursuant to the provisions of the credit support annexes to the Bank’s master netting agreements with its non-member bilateral derivative counterparties. The Bank's cleared derivative transactions with each clearing member of each clearinghouse are netted pursuant to the Bank's arrangements with those parties. In each case, if the netted amounts are positive, they are classified as an asset and, if negative, as a liability.

The Bank estimates the fair values of mortgage delivery commitments based upon the prices for to-be-announced ("TBA") securities, which represent quoted market prices for forward-settling agency MBS. The prices are adjusted for differences in coupon, cost to carry, vintage, remittance type and product type between the Bank's mortgage loan commitments and the referenced TBA MBS.

Other assets held at fair value. To value its mutual fund investments included in other assets as of September 30, 2018 and trading securities as of December 31, 2017, the Bank obtained quoted prices for the mutual funds.

The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments at September 30, 2018 (in thousands), as well as the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements are classified. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value estimate.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]

Commitments and Contingencies

Joint and several liability. The Bank is jointly and severally liable with the other 10 FHLBanks for the payment of principal and interest on all of the consolidated obligations issued by the FHLBanks. At September 30, 2018, the par amount of the other 10 FHLBanks’ outstanding consolidated obligations was approximately $950 billion. The Finance Agency, in its discretion, may require any FHLBank to make principal or interest payments due on any consolidated obligation, regardless of whether there has been a default by a FHLBank having primary liability. To the extent that a FHLBank makes any consolidated obligation payment on behalf of another FHLBank, the paying FHLBank is entitled to reimbursement from the FHLBank with primary liability. However, if the Finance Agency determines that the primary obligor is unable to satisfy its obligations, then the Finance Agency may allocate the outstanding liability among the remaining FHLBanks on a pro rata basis in proportion to each FHLBank’s participation in all consolidated obligations outstanding, or on any other basis that the Finance Agency may determine. No FHLBank has ever failed to make any payment on a consolidated obligation for which it was the primary obligor; as a result, the regulatory provisions for directing other FHLBanks to make payments on behalf of another FHLBank or allocating the liability among other FHLBanks have never been invoked. If the Bank expected that it would be required to pay any amounts on behalf of its co-obligors under its joint and several liability, the Bank would charge to income the amount of the expected payment. Based upon the creditworthiness of the other FHLBanks, the Bank currently believes that the likelihood that it would have to pay any amounts beyond those for which it is primarily liable is remote.

Impact of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, two significant hurricanes struck the continental United States. On August 25, 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall near Rockport, Texas, causing substantial flooding and other damage in southeast Texas, including the Houston metropolitan area, and lesser damage in Louisiana. Then, on September 10, 2017, Hurricane Irma made landfall near Marco Island, Florida, causing significant damage in Florida and lesser damage in other southeastern states.

These storms had varying degrees of impact on the Bank’s members, its members’ borrowers and the properties pledged as collateral for those borrowings, and MPF mortgage loan borrowers and the properties pledged as collateral for those mortgage loans.

At the time the storms struck, the Bank held interests totaling approximately $58 million (unpaid principal balance or “UPB”) in conventional mortgage loans acquired through the MPF Program and held for portfolio that were collateralized by properties located in the areas that were ultimately designated as disaster areas by FEMA, making them eligible for individual assistance from the federal government (approximately $14 million UPB was collateralized by properties located in Hurricane Harvey disaster areas and approximately $44 million UPB was collateralized by properties located in Hurricane Irma disaster areas). Under the terms of the MPF Program, all mortgagors are required to carry hazard insurance and, if the property is located in a federal government-designated flood zone, they must also carry flood insurance. Federal assistance may also be available to mortgagors affected by the storms. In addition, mortgage loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80 percent are required to have private mortgage insurance. Members selling mortgage loans to the Bank under the MPF Program are also required to retain a portion of the credit risk associated with those loans (“MPF credit enhancements”). Based on its assessment, the Bank does not currently anticipate any material losses in its mortgage loan portfolio related to Hurricanes Harvey or Irma. As of September 30, 2018, none of these loans were delinquent and $2.8 million UPB of these loans were in forbearance.

The Bank also owns several non-agency RMBS that are collateralized in part by loans on properties that are located in Florida and, to a lesser extent, Texas (the states most affected by Hurricanes Irma and Harvey, respectively). Credit support for the senior tranches of these securities held by the Bank is provided by subordinated tranches that absorb losses before the senior tranches held by the Bank would be affected. The amount of loans in Florida and Texas generally represent a small portion of the underlying loan pools and, therefore, the Bank does not currently anticipate any material losses in its non-agency RMBS portfolio related to Hurricanes Irma or Harvey.

Based on currently available information, the Bank has not recorded any reserves related to Hurricanes Harvey or Irma. If information becomes available indicating that any of these assets has been impaired and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Bank will record appropriate reserves at that time.

The Bank has also evaluated the potential for losses resulting from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma on its advances and letters of credit. Based on its assessment, the Bank does not expect to incur any losses on advances or letters of credit.

Impact of Hurricanes Florence and Michael. In September and October 2018, two significant hurricanes struck the continental United States. On September 14, 2018, Hurricane Florence made landfall near Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, causing severe damage in North and South Carolina, primarily as a result of freshwater flooding. Then, on October 10, 2018, Hurricane Michael made landfall near Mexico Beach, Florida, causing severe damage in the Florida Panhandle, Georgia and Alabama. The Bank's exposure to the destruction caused by these storms relates primarily to its mortgage loan and non-agency RMBS portfolios and, in the case of each portfolio, is insignificant.

Impact of California Wildfires. In October and December, 2017, several significant wildfires destroyed thousands of homes and businesses in Northern and Southern California, respectively. The Bank’s primary exposure to the destruction caused by these wildfires relates to its mortgage loans held for portfolio. At the time the fires occurred, the Bank held interests totaling approximately $83 million UPB in conventional mortgage loans acquired through the MPF Program that were collateralized by properties located in the areas that were ultimately designated as disaster areas by FEMA, making them eligible for individual assistance from the federal government. As noted in the discussion regarding Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, all mortgagors are required under the terms of the MPF Program to carry hazard insurance. For this reason and the other reasons set forth in that discussion, the Bank does not currently anticipate any material losses as a result of the 2017 California wildfires. As of September 30, 2018, none of these loans were 90 days or more delinquent and $0.3 million UPB of these loans were 60-89 days delinquent. In addition, loans with an aggregate UPB of $0.8 million were in forbearance.

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, several significant wildfires destroyed over 1,000 homes and other structures in Northern California. At the time these fires occurred, the Bank did not have any conventional mortgage loans that were collateralized by properties located in the areas that were ultimately designated as disaster areas by FEMA.

Other commitments and contingencies. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank had commitments to make additional advances totaling approximately $30,301,000 and $20,200,000, respectively. In addition, outstanding standby letters of credit totaled $17,201,145,000 and $16,215,472,000 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Based on management’s credit analyses and collateral requirements, the Bank does not deem it necessary to have any provision for credit losses on these letters of credit (see Note 8).

In late 2017 and June 2018, the Bank entered into standby bond purchase agreements with a state housing finance agency within its district whereby, for a fee, the Bank agrees to serve as a standby liquidity provider. If required, the Bank will purchase and hold the housing finance agency's bonds until the designated marketing agent can find a suitable investor or the housing finance agency repurchases the bonds according to a schedule established by the agreement. Each standby bond purchase agreement includes the provisions under which the Bank would be required to purchase the bonds. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank had outstanding standby bond purchase agreements totaling $455,685,000 and $207,663,000, respectively. At September 30, 2018, standby bond purchase agreements totaling $202,192,000 and $253,493,000 expire in 2022 and 2023, respectively. The Bank was not required to purchase any bonds under these agreements during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 or the year ended December 31, 2017.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank had commitments to purchase conventional mortgage loans totaling $30,605,000 and $20,304,000, respectively, from certain of its members that participate in the MPF program.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank had commitments to issue $125,475,000 and $55,000,000, respectively, of consolidated obligation bonds, of which $115,000,000 and $55,000,000, respectively, were hedged with interest rate swaps. In addition, at September 30, 2018, the Bank had commitments to issue $390,953,000 (par value) of consolidated obligation discount notes, none of which were hedged. The Bank did not have any commitments to issue consolidated obligation discount notes at December 31, 2017.

The Bank has transacted interest rate exchange agreements with large financial institutions and third-party clearinghouses that are subject to collateral exchange arrangements. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank had pledged cash collateral of $211,275,000 and $137,201,000, respectively, to those parties that had credit risk exposure to the Bank related to interest rate exchange agreements. The pledged cash collateral (i.e., interest-bearing deposit asset) is netted against derivative assets and liabilities in the statements of condition. In addition, as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Bank had pledged securities with carrying values (and fair values) of $719,152,000 and $747,230,000, respectively, to parties that had credit risk exposure to the Bank related to interest rate exchange agreements. The pledged securities may be rehypothecated and are not netted against derivative assets and liabilities in the statements of condition.

In the ordinary course of its business, the Bank is subject to the risk that litigation may arise. Currently, the Bank is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Transactions with Shareholders

Affiliates of two of the Bank’s derivative counterparties (Citigroup and Wells Fargo) acquired member institutions on March 31, 2005 and October 1, 2006, respectively. Since the acquisitions were completed, the Bank has continued to enter into interest rate exchange agreements with Citigroup and Wells Fargo in the normal course of business and under the same terms and conditions as before. Effective October 1, 2006, Citigroup terminated the Ninth District charter of the affiliate that acquired the member institution and, as a result, an affiliate of Citigroup became a non-member shareholder of the Bank.

Basis of Presentation [Abstract]

Loans and Leases Receivable, Nonaccrual Loan and Lease Status, Policy [Policy Text Block]

The Bank places a conventional mortgage loan on nonaccrual status when the collection of the contractual principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. When a mortgage loan is placed on nonaccrual status, accrued but uncollected interest is reversed against interest income. The Bank records cash payments received on nonaccrual loans first as interest income until it recovers all interest, and then as a reduction of principal. A loan on nonaccrual status is restored to accrual status when none of its contractual principal and interest is due and unpaid, and the Bank expects repayment of the remaining contractual interest and principal.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Collateral-dependent loans that are on nonaccrual status are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the underlying property less estimated selling costs. Loans are considered collateral-dependent if repayment is expected to be provided solely by the sale of the underlying property; that is, there is no other available and reliable source of repayment. A collateral-dependent loan is impaired if the fair value of the underlying collateral is insufficient to recover the unpaid principal and interest on the loan. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized in the same manner as it is for nonaccrual loans noted above.

The Bank evaluates whether to record a charge-off on a conventional mortgage loan when the loan becomes 180 days or more past due or upon the occurrence of a confirming event, whichever occurs first. Confirming events include, but are not limited to, the occurrence of foreclosure or notification of a claim against any of the credit enhancements. A charge-off is recorded if the recorded investment in the loan will not be recovered.

Derivatives, Offsetting Fair Value Amounts, Policy [Policy Text Block]

For purposes of reporting derivative assets and derivative liabilities, the Bank offsets the fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments (including the right to reclaim cash collateral and the obligation to return cash collateral) where a legally enforceable right of setoff exists.

Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities. The Bank accounts for derivatives and hedging activities in accordance with the guidance in Topic 815 of the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) entitled “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). All derivatives are recognized on the statements of condition at their fair values, including accrued interest receivable and payable. For purposes of reporting derivative assets and derivative liabilities, the Bank offsets the fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments (including the right to reclaim cash collateral and the obligation to return cash collateral) where a legally enforceable right of setoff exists.

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is effective as — and that is designated and qualifies as — a fair value hedge, along with changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk (including changes that reflect gains or losses on firm commitments), are recorded in current period earnings. Any hedge ineffectiveness (which represents the amount by which the change in the fair value of the derivative differs from the change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk) is recorded in other income (loss) as “net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.” Net interest income/expense associated with derivatives that qualify for fair value hedge accounting under ASC 815 is recorded as a component of net interest income.

If fair value hedging relationships meet certain criteria specified in ASC 815, they are eligible for hedge accounting and the offsetting changes in fair value of the hedged items may be recorded in earnings. The application of hedge accounting generally requires the Bank to evaluate the effectiveness of the fair value hedging relationships on an ongoing basis and to calculate the changes in fair value of the derivatives and related hedged items independently. This is commonly known as the “long-haul” method of hedge accounting. Transactions that meet more stringent criteria qualify for the “shortcut” method of hedge accounting in which an assumption can be made that the change in fair value of a hedged item exactly offsets the change in value of the related derivative. The Bank considers hedges of committed advances to be eligible for the shortcut method of accounting as long as the settlement of the committed advance occurs within the shortest period possible for that type of instrument based on market settlement conventions, the fair value of the swap is zero at the inception of the hedging relationship, and the transaction meets all of the other criteria for shortcut accounting specified in ASC 815. The Bank has defined the market settlement convention to be five business days or less for advances.

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, to the extent that the hedge is effective, are recorded in AOCI until earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged transaction. Any ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge (which represents the amount by which the change in the fair value of the derivative differs from the change in fair value of a hypothetical derivative having terms that match identically the critical terms of the hedged forecasted transaction) is recognized in other income (loss) as “net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.”

An economic hedge is defined as a derivative hedging specific or non-specific assets or liabilities that does not qualify or was not designated for hedge accounting under ASC 815, but is an acceptable hedging strategy under the Bank’s Enterprise Market Risk Management Policy. These hedging strategies also comply with Finance Agency regulatory requirements prohibiting speculative derivative transactions. An economic hedge by definition introduces the potential for earnings variability as changes in the fair value of a derivative designated as an economic hedge are recorded in current period earnings with no offsetting fair value adjustment to an asset or liability. Both the net interest income/expense and the fair value changes associated with derivatives in economic hedging relationships are recorded in other income (loss) as “net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities.”

The Bank records the changes in fair value of all derivatives (and, in the case of fair value hedges, the hedged items) beginning on the trade date.

Cash flows associated with all derivatives are reported as cash flows from operating activities in the statements of cash flows, unless the derivative contains an other-than-insignificant financing element, in which case its cash flows are reported as cash flows from financing activities.

The Bank may issue debt, make advances, or purchase financial instruments in which a derivative instrument is “embedded” and the financial instrument that embodies the embedded derivative instrument is not remeasured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur. Upon execution of these transactions, the Bank assesses whether the economic characteristics of the embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the remaining component of the financial instrument (i.e., the host contract) and whether a separate, non-embedded instrument with the same terms as the embedded instrument would meet the definition of a derivative instrument. When it is determined that (1) the embedded derivative possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract and (2) a separate, stand-alone instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded derivative is separated from the host contract, carried at fair value, and designated as either (1) a hedging instrument in a fair value hedge or (2) a stand-alone derivative instrument pursuant to an economic hedge. However, if the entire contract were to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in current earnings, or if the Bank could not reliably identify and measure the embedded derivative for purposes of separating that derivative from its host contract, the entire contract would be carried on the statement of condition at fair value and no portion of the contract would be separately accounted for as a derivative.

The Bank discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when: (1) management determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; (2) the derivative and/or the hedged item expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; (3) it is no longer probable that a forecasted transaction will occur within the originally specified time frame; (4) a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or (5) management determines that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument in accordance with ASC 815 is no longer appropriate.

In all cases in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Bank will carry the derivative at its fair value on the statement of condition, recognizing any additional changes in the fair value of the derivative in current period earnings.

When fair value hedge accounting for a specific derivative is discontinued due to the Bank’s determination that such derivative no longer qualifies for hedge accounting treatment or because the derivative is terminated, the Bank will cease to adjust the hedged asset or liability for changes in fair value and amortize the cumulative basis adjustment on the formerly hedged item into earnings over its remaining term using the level-yield method.

When hedge accounting is discontinued because the hedged item no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, the Bank continues to carry the derivative on the statement of condition at its fair value, removing from the statement of condition any asset or liability that was recorded to recognize the firm commitment and recording it as a gain or loss in current period earnings.

When cash flow hedge accounting for a specific derivative is discontinued due to the Bank's determination that such derivative no longer qualifies for hedge accounting treatment or because the derivative is terminated, the Bank will reclassify the cumulative fair value gains or losses recorded in AOCI as of the discontinuance date from AOCI into earnings when earnings are affected by the original forecasted transaction, except in cases where the cash flow hedge is discontinued because the forecasted transaction is no longer probable (i.e., the forecasted transaction will not occur in the originally expected period or within an additional two-month period of time thereafter). In such cases, any fair value gains or losses recorded in AOCI as of the determination date are immediately reclassified to earnings as a component of "net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities." Similarly, if the Bank expects at any time that continued reporting of a net loss in AOCI would lead to recognizing a net loss on the combination of the hedging instrument and hedged transaction in one or more future periods, the amount that is not expected to be recovered is immediately reclassified to earnings as a component of "net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities."

Derivatives, Embedded Derivatives [Policy Text Block]

The Bank may issue debt, make advances, or purchase financial instruments in which a derivative instrument is “embedded” and the financial instrument that embodies the embedded derivative instrument is not remeasured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur. Upon execution of these transactions, the Bank assesses whether the economic characteristics of the embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the remaining component of the financial instrument (i.e., the host contract) and whether a separate, non-embedded instrument with the same terms as the embedded instrument would meet the definition of a derivative instrument. When it is determined that (1) the embedded derivative possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract and (2) a separate, stand-alone instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded derivative is separated from the host contract, carried at fair value, and designated as either (1) a hedging instrument in a fair value hedge or (2) a stand-alone derivative instrument pursuant to an economic hedge. However, if the entire contract were to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in current earnings, or if the Bank could not reliably identify and measure the embedded derivative for purposes of separating that derivative from its host contract, the entire contract would be carried on the statement of condition at fair value and no portion of the contract would be separately accounted for as a derivative.

Derivatives, Hedge Discontinuances [Policy Text Block]

The Bank discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when: (1) management determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; (2) the derivative and/or the hedged item expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; (3) it is no longer probable that a forecasted transaction will occur within the originally specified time frame; (4) a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or (5) management determines that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument in accordance with ASC 815 is no longer appropriate.

In all cases in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Bank will carry the derivative at its fair value on the statement of condition, recognizing any additional changes in the fair value of the derivative in current period earnings.

When fair value hedge accounting for a specific derivative is discontinued due to the Bank’s determination that such derivative no longer qualifies for hedge accounting treatment or because the derivative is terminated, the Bank will cease to adjust the hedged asset or liability for changes in fair value and amortize the cumulative basis adjustment on the formerly hedged item into earnings over its remaining term using the level-yield method.

When hedge accounting is discontinued because the hedged item no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, the Bank continues to carry the derivative on the statement of condition at its fair value, removing from the statement of condition any asset or liability that was recorded to recognize the firm commitment and recording it as a gain or loss in current period earnings.

When cash flow hedge accounting for a specific derivative is discontinued due to the Bank's determination that such derivative no longer qualifies for hedge accounting treatment or because the derivative is terminated, the Bank will reclassify the cumulative fair value gains or losses recorded in AOCI as of the discontinuance date from AOCI into earnings when earnings are affected by the original forecasted transaction, except in cases where the cash flow hedge is discontinued because the forecasted transaction is no longer probable (i.e., the forecasted transaction will not occur in the originally expected period or within an additional two-month period of time thereafter). In such cases, any fair value gains or losses recorded in AOCI as of the determination date are immediately reclassified to earnings as a component of "net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities." Similarly, if the Bank expects at any time that continued reporting of a net loss in AOCI would lead to recognizing a net loss on the combination of the hedging instrument and hedged transaction in one or more future periods, the amount that is not expected to be recovered is immediately reclassified to earnings as a component of "net gains (losses) on derivatives and hedging activities."

Fair Value Transfer, Policy [Policy Text Block]

For financial instruments carried at fair value, the Bank reviews the fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of certain assets or liabilities. Reclassifications, if any, would be reported as transfers as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occurred.
