FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF CINCINNATI
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Background Information
The Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (the FHLBank), a federally chartered corporation, is one
of 12 District Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks). The FHLBanks serve the public by enhancing the
availability of credit for residential mortgages and targeted community development. The FHLBank is
regulated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (Finance Agency).
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim financial statements of the FHLBank have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates.
These assumptions and estimates affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses.
Actual results could differ from these estimates. The interim financial statements presented are
unaudited, but they include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition,
results of operations, and cash flows for such periods. These financial statements do not include
all disclosures associated with annual financial statements and accordingly should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the FHLBanks annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of
operating results for the full year.
Certain amounts in the 2009 financial statements and notes have been reclassified to conform to the
2010 presentation.
The FHLBank has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure through the
issuance of these financial statements and believes there have been no material subsequent events
requiring additional disclosure or recognition in these financial statements.
Note 2Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations
Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.
On July 21, 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amended guidance to
enhance disclosures about an entitys allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its
financing receivables. The amended guidance requires disclosure of the following: (i) the nature of
credit risk inherent in financing receivables, (ii) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in
arriving at the allowance for credit losses, and (iii) the changes and reasons for those changes in
the allowance for credit losses. The required disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are
effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010 (December
31, 2010 for the FHLBank). The required disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting
period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15,
2010 (January 1, 2011 for the FHLBank). The adoption of this amended guidance will likely result in
increased financial statement disclosures, but will not affect the
FHLBanks financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. On January 21, 2010, the FASB issued amended
guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures. The update requires a reporting entity to
disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair
value measurements and describes the reasons for the transfers. Furthermore, this update requires a
reporting entity to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and
settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable
inputs, and clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about
inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The new
guidance became effective for
interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 (January 1, 2010 for the
FHLBank), except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll
forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2010 (January 1, 2011 for
8
Table of Contents
the FHLBank), and for interim periods within those fiscal years. In the period of initial adoption,
entities will not be required to provide the amended disclosures for any previous periods presented
for comparative purposes. The FHLBank adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2010 except for the
disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity in
Level 3 fair value measurements. Its adoption resulted in increased financial statement disclosures
but did not affect the FHLBanks financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Accounting for the Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. On June 12, 2009, the FASB issued
guidance which is intended to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable
interest entities (VIEs) by providing more relevant and reliable information to users of financial
statements. This guidance amends the manner in which entities evaluate whether consolidation is
required for VIEs. An entity must first perform a qualitative analysis in determining whether it
must consolidate a VIE, and if the qualitative analysis is not determinative, the entity must
perform a quantitative analysis. This guidance also requires that an entity continually evaluate
VIEs for consolidation, rather than making such an assessment based upon the occurrence of
triggering events. The FHLBank adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2010. Its adoption did not
have a material effect on the FHLBanks financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. On June 12, 2009, the FASB issued guidance that is
intended to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the
information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a transfer of financial
assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows;
and a transferors continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. The FHLBank adopted this
guidance as of January 1, 2010. Its adoption did not have a material effect on the FHLBanks
financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The FHLBanks mortgage-backed security investments consist of senior classes of
government-sponsored enterprise securities and private-label prime residential mortgage-backed
securities. The FHLBanks investments in mortgage-backed securities must be triple-A rated at the
time of purchase.
The FHLBank has increased exposure to the risk of loss on its investments in mortgage-backed
securities when the loans backing the mortgage-backed securities exhibit high rates of delinquency
and foreclosures, and when there are losses on the sale of foreclosed properties. Credit safeguards
for the FHLBanks mortgage-backed securities consist of either payment guarantees of principal and
interest in the case of government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) mortgage-backed securities or, for
residential mortgage-backed securities issued by entities other than GSEs (private-label
mortgage-backed securities), credit enhancements in the form of subordinate tranches in a
securitys structure that absorb the losses before the FHLBank does. Since the surety of the
FHLBanks private-label mortgage-backed securities holdings relies on credit enhancements and the
11
Table of Contents
quality of the underlying loan collateral, the FHLBank analyzes these investments on an ongoing
basis in an effort to determine whether the credit enhancement associated with each security is
sufficient to protect against potential losses of principal and/or interest on the underlying
mortgage loans. The FHLBank has not used monoline insurance as a form of credit enhancement for
mortgage-backed securities.
The following table summarizes the par value of the FHLBanks six private-label mortgage-backed
securities by year of issuance, as well as the weighted-average credit enhancement on the
applicable securities (in thousands, except percentages). The weighted-average credit enhancement
is the percent of protection in place to absorb losses of principal that could occur within the
FHLBank-owned senior tranches.

Realized Gains and Losses. The FHLBank sold securities out of its held-to-maturity portfolio during
the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, each of which had less than 15 percent of the acquired
principal outstanding at the time of the sale. Such sales are considered as maturities for purposes
of security classification. The FHLBank received (in thousands) $213,620 and $222,143 in proceeds
from the sale of held-to-maturity securities during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. The FHLBank realized (in thousands) $6,450 and $5,943 in gross gains and no gross
losses on these sales during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Note 6Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Analysis
The FHLBank evaluates its individual available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities
holdings in an unrealized loss position for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis.
As part of its securities evaluation for other-than-temporary impairment, the FHLBank considers
its intent to sell each debt security and whether it is more likely than not that the FHLBank will
be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of these conditions is
met, the FHLBank recognizes an other-than-temporary impairment in earnings equal to the entire
difference between the securitys amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet
date. For securities in unrealized loss positions that meet neither of these conditions, the
FHLBank performs analyses to determine if any of these securities are other-than-temporarily
impaired. At June 30, 2010, the FHLBank did not have any government-sponsored enterprise
residential mortgage-backed securities or private-label residential mortgage-backed securities in
an unrealized loss position. As a result, the FHLBank did not consider any of these investments to
be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2010.
The FHLBank also reviewed its available-for-sale securities and the remainder of its
held-to-maturity securities that have experienced unrealized losses at June 30, 2010 and determined
that the unrealized losses were temporary, based on the creditworthiness of the issuers and the
related collateral characteristics and that the FHLBank will recover its entire amortized cost
basis. Additionally, because the FHLBank does not intend to sell its securities nor is it more
likely than not that the FHLBank will be required to sell the securities before recovery, it did
not consider the investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2010.
The FHLBank did not consider any of its investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at
December 31, 2009.

The FHLBank offers Advances to members that may be prepaid on specified dates (call dates) without
incurring prepayment or termination fees (callable Advances). Other Advances may only be prepaid
subject to a fee to the FHLBank (prepayment fee) that makes the FHLBank financially indifferent to
the prepayment of the Advance. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the FHLBank had callable

a put option from the member that allows the FHLBank to terminate the Advance at predetermined
dates. The FHLBank normally would exercise its option when interest rates increase relative to
contractual rates. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the FHLBank had putable Advances
outstanding totaling (in thousands) $6,926,350 and $7,037,350.

The FHLBank has never experienced a credit loss on an Advance to a member. Based upon the
collateral pledged as security for its Advances and the creditworthiness of its members, management
believes that an allowance for losses on Advances is unnecessary.

Note 9Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Nature of Business Activity
The FHLBank is exposed to interest rate risk primarily from the effect of interest rate changes on
its interest-earning assets and on the funding sources that finance these assets.
Consistent with Finance Agency policy, the FHLBank enters into derivatives to manage the interest
rate risk exposures inherent in otherwise unhedged assets and funding positions, to achieve the
FHLBanks risk management objectives and to act as an intermediary between its members and
counterparties. Finance Agency Regulations and the FHLBanks financial management policy prohibit
trading in or the speculative use of these derivative instruments and limit credit risk arising
from them. The FHLBank may only use derivatives to reduce funding costs for Consolidated
Obligations and to manage its interest rate risk, mortgage prepayment risk and foreign currency
risk positions. Derivatives are an integral part of the FHLBanks financial management strategy.
The most common ways in which the FHLBank uses derivatives are to:
§ | reduce the interest rate sensitivity and repricing gaps of assets, liabilities, and certain other derivative instruments; | ||
§ | manage embedded options in assets and liabilities; | ||
§ | reduce funding costs by combining a derivative with a Consolidated Obligation, as the cost of a combined funding structure can be lower than the cost of a comparable Consolidated Obligation Bond; | ||
§ | preserve a favorable interest rate spread between the yield of an asset (e.g., an Advance) and the cost of the related liability (e.g., the Consolidated Obligation Bond used to fund the Advance); without the use of derivatives, this interest rate spread could be reduced or eliminated when a change in the interest rate on the Advance does not match a change in the interest rate on the Bond; and | ||
§ | protect the value of existing asset or liability positions. |
Types of Derivatives
The FHLBanks financial management policy establishes guidelines for its use of derivatives. The
FHLBank may enter into interest rate swaps (including callable and putable swaps), swaptions,
interest rate cap and floor agreements, calls, puts, futures, and forward contracts to manage its
exposure to changes in interest rates.
An interest rate swap is an agreement between two entities to exchange cash flows in the future.
The agreement sets the dates on which the cash flows will be paid and the manner in which the cash
flows will be calculated. One of the simplest forms of an interest rate swap involves the promise
by one party to pay cash flows equivalent to the interest on a notional principal amount at a
predetermined fixed rate for a given period of time. In return for this promise, this party
receives cash flows equivalent to the interest on the same notional principal amount at a
variable-rate index for the same period of time. The variable-rate received by the FHLBank in its
interest rate swaps is the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).
Application of Interest Rate Swaps
The FHLBank generally uses derivatives as fair value hedges of underlying financial instruments.
However, because the FHLBank uses interest rate swaps when they are considered to be the most
cost-effective alternative to achieve the FHLBanks financial and risk management objectives, it
may enter into interest rate swaps that do not necessarily qualify for hedge accounting (economic
hedges). The FHLBank re-evaluates its hedging strategies from time to time and may change the
hedging techniques it uses or adopt new strategies.
18
Table of Contents
Types of Assets and Liabilities Hedged
The FHLBank documents at inception all relationships between derivatives designated as hedging
instruments and the hedged items, its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking
various hedge transactions, and its method of assessing effectiveness. This process includes
linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to assets and liabilities on the
Statements of Condition. The FHLBank also formally assesses (both at the hedges inception and at
least quarterly) whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been effective
in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items and whether those derivatives may be
expected to remain effective in future periods. The FHLBank currently uses regression analyses to
assess the effectiveness of its hedges.
Consolidated Obligations While Consolidated Obligations are the joint and several
obligations of the FHLBanks, each FHLBank has Consolidated Obligations for which it is the primary
obligor. To date, no FHLBank has ever had to assume or pay the Consolidated Obligations of another
FHLBank. The FHLBank enters into derivatives to hedge the interest rate risk associated with its
specific debt issuances.
The FHLBank manages the risk arising from changing market prices and volatility of a Consolidated
Obligation by matching the cash inflow on a derivative with the cash outflow on the Consolidated
Obligation. In addition, the FHLBank requires collateral on derivatives at specified levels
correlated to counterparty credit ratings and contractual terms.
For instance, in a typical transaction, fixed-rate Consolidated Obligations are issued for one or
more FHLBanks, and the FHLBank simultaneously enters into a matching interest rate swap in which
the counterparty pays fixed cash flows to the FHLBank designed to mirror in timing and amount the
cash outflows the FHLBank pays on the Consolidated Obligation. The FHLBank pays a variable cash
flow that closely matches the interest payments it receives on short-term or variable-rate
Advances, typically 3-month LIBOR. These transactions are treated as fair value hedges.
This strategy of issuing Bonds while simultaneously entering into derivatives enables the FHLBank
to offer a wider range of attractively priced Advances to its members and may allow the FHLBank to
reduce its funding costs. The continued attractiveness of such debt depends on yield relationships
between the Bond and the derivative markets. If conditions in these markets change, the FHLBank may
alter the types or terms of the Bonds that it issues. By acting in both the capital and the swap
markets, the FHLBank can raise funds at lower costs than through the issuance of simple fixed- or
variable-rate Consolidated Obligations in the capital markets alone.
Advances The FHLBank offers a wide array of Advance structures to meet members funding
needs. These Advances may have maturities up to 30 years with variable or fixed rates and may
include early termination features or options. The FHLBank may use derivatives to adjust the
repricing and/or options characteristics of Advances in order to more closely match the
characteristics of the FHLBanks funding liabilities. In general, whenever a member executes a
fixed-rate Advance or a variable-rate Advance with embedded options, the FHLBank will
simultaneously execute a derivative with terms that offset the terms and embedded options, if any,
in the Advance. For example, the FHLBank may hedge a fixed-rate Advance with an interest rate swap
where the FHLBank pays a fixed-rate coupon and receives a floating-rate coupon, effectively
converting the fixed-rate Advance to a floating-rate Advance. These types of hedges are treated as
fair value hedges.
When issuing a putable Advance, the FHLBank effectively purchases a put option from the member that
allows the FHLBank to put or extinguish the fixed-rate Advance, which the FHLBank normally would
exercise when interest rates increase. The FHLBank may hedge these Advances by entering into a
cancelable derivative.
Mortgage Loans The FHLBank invests in fixed rate mortgage loans. The prepayment options
embedded in mortgage loans can result in extensions or contractions in the expected repayment of
these investments, depending on changes in estimated prepayment speeds. The FHLBank may manage the
interest rate and prepayment risks associated with mortgages through a combination of debt issuance
and derivatives. The FHLBank issues both callable and noncallable debt and prepayment linked
Consolidated Obligations to achieve cash flow patterns and liability durations similar to those
expected on the mortgage loans. The FHLBank is also permitted to use derivatives to match the
expected prepayment characteristics of the mortgages, although to date it has not done so.
Firm Commitment Strategies Certain mortgage purchase commitments are considered
derivatives. The FHLBank normally hedges these commitments by selling to-be-announced (TBA)
mortgage-backed securities for forward settlement. A TBA represents a forward contract for the sale
of mortgage-backed securities at a future agreed upon date for an established price.
19
Table of Contents
The mortgage purchase commitment and the TBA used in the firm commitment hedging strategy (economic
hedge) are recorded as a derivative asset or derivative liability at fair value, with changes in
fair value recognized in the current period earnings. When the mortgage purchase commitment
derivative settles, the current market value of the commitment is included in the basis of the
mortgage loan and amortized accordingly.
Investments The FHLBank invests in certificates of deposit, bank notes, U.S. Treasury
obligations, government-sponsored enterprise debt securities, mortgage-backed securities, and the
taxable portion of state or local housing finance agency obligations, which may be classified as
held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading securities. The interest rate and prepayment risks
associated with these investment securities are managed through a combination of debt issuance and,
possibly, derivatives. The FHLBank may manage the prepayment and interest rate risk by funding
investment securities with Consolidated Obligations that have call features or by hedging the
prepayment risk with caps or floors, callable swaps or swaptions.
Managing Credit Risk on Derivatives
The FHLBank is subject to credit risk due to nonperformance by counterparties to its derivative
agreements. The degree of counterparty risk depends on the extent to which master netting
arrangements are included in the contracts to mitigate the risk. The FHLBank manages counterparty
credit risk through credit analysis, collateral requirements and adherence to the requirements set
forth in FHLBank policies and Finance Agency Regulations. Based on credit analyses and collateral
requirements at June 30, 2010, the management of the FHLBank does not anticipate any credit losses
on its derivative agreements. See Note 17 for discussion regarding the FHLBanks fair value
methodology for derivative assets/liabilities, including the evaluation of the potential for the
fair value of these instruments to be affected by counterparty credit risk.
The contractual or notional amount of derivatives reflects the involvement of the FHLBank in the
various classes of financial instruments. The notional amount of derivatives does not measure the
credit risk exposure of the FHLBank, and the maximum credit exposure of the FHLBank is
substantially less than the notional amount. The FHLBank requires collateral agreements on all
derivatives, which establish collateral delivery thresholds. The maximum credit risk is the
estimated cost of replacing interest rate swaps, forward rate agreements, and mandatory delivery
contracts for mortgage loans that have a net positive market value, assuming the counterparty
defaults and the related collateral, if any, is of no value to the FHLBank. The FHLBank has not
sold or repledged the collateral it received.
As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the FHLBanks maximum credit risk, as defined above, was
approximately $4,983,000 and $40,668,000, respectively. These totals include $395,000 and
$30,518,000 of net accrued interest receivable. In determining maximum credit risk, the FHLBank
considers accrued interest receivables and payables, and the legal right to offset derivative
assets and liabilities, by counterparty. The FHLBank held $1,701,000 and $31,603,000 of cash as
collateral as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, for net uncollateralized balances of
$3,282,000 and $9,065,000, respectively. The FHLBank held no securities as collateral as of June
30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Additionally, collateral related to derivatives with member
institutions can include collateral assigned to the FHLBank, as evidenced by a written security
agreement, and held by the member institution for the benefit of the FHLBank.
Certain of the FHLBanks interest rate swap contracts contain provisions that require the FHLBank
to post additional collateral with its counterparties if there is deterioration in the FHLBanks
credit rating. If the FHLBanks credit rating were lowered by a major credit rating agency, the
FHLBank could be required to deliver additional collateral. The aggregate fair value of all
interest rate swaps with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position
at June 30, 2010 was $779,849,000, for which the FHLBank had posted collateral of $541,024,000 in
the normal course of business, resulting in a net balance of $238,825,000. If the FHLBanks credit
ratings had been lowered from its current rating to the next lower rating, the FHLBank would have
been required to deliver up to an additional $132,500,000 of collateral (at fair value) to its
derivatives counterparties at June 30, 2010. However, the FHLBanks credit ratings have not changed
during the previous 12 months.
The FHLBank transacts most of its derivatives with large banks and major broker-dealers. Some of
these banks and broker-dealers or their affiliates buy, sell, and distribute Consolidated
Obligations. The FHLBank is not a derivatives dealer and thus does not trade derivatives for
short-term profit.

Financial Statement Effect and Additional Financial Information
The notional amount of derivatives serves as a factor in determining periodic interest payments or
cash flows received and paid. As indicated above, the notional amount represents neither the actual
amounts exchanged nor the overall exposure of the FHLBank to credit and market risk. The risks of
derivatives only can be measured meaningfully on a portfolio basis that takes into account the
derivatives, the items being hedged and any offsets between the two.
The following tables summarize the fair value of the FHLBanks derivative instruments without the
effect of netting arrangements or collateral (in thousands). For purposes of this disclosure, the
derivative values include accrued interest on the instruments.

Note 15Employee Retirement Plans
The FHLBank participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (Pentegra
Defined Benefit Plan), a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan. The plan covers substantially
all officers and employees of the FHLBank. Funding and administrative costs of the Pentegra Defined
Benefit Plan charged to other operating expenses were $784,000 and $814,000 in the three months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $1,568,000 and $1,627,000 in the six months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The FHLBank also participates in the Pentegra Defined Contribution Plan for Financial Institutions,
a tax-qualified defined contribution pension plan. The FHLBank contributes a percentage of the
participants compensation by making a matching contribution equal to a percentage of voluntary
employee contributions, subject to certain limitations. The FHLBank
27
Table of Contents
contributed $181,000 and
$159,000 to this Plan in the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and
$486,000 and $458,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The FHLBank has a Benefit Equalization Plan (BEP). The BEP is a non-qualified supplemental
retirement plan which restores those pension benefits that would be available under the defined
benefit plan (and, until December 2009, also restored benefits that would be available under the
defined contribution plan) were it not for legal limitations on such benefits. The defined
contribution feature of the BEP was terminated in December 2009. The FHLBank also sponsors a fully
insured postretirement benefits plan that includes health care and life insurance benefits for
eligible retirees.
The FHLBanks contributions to the defined contribution feature of the BEP used the same matching
rules as the qualified defined contribution plan discussed above as well as the market related
earnings. The FHLBanks contributions for the three and six months ended June 30 were (in

Fair Value Hierarchy. The FHLBank records trading securities, available-for-sale securities,
derivative assets and derivative liabilities at fair value. The fair value hierarchy is used to
prioritize the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value for assets and liabilities
carried at fair value on the Statements of Condition. The inputs are evaluated and an overall level
for the measurement is determined. This overall level is an indication of how market observable the
fair value measurement is.
31
Table of Contents
Outlined below is the application of the fair value hierarchy to the FHLBanks financial assets and
financial liabilities that are carried at fair value.
Level 1 defined as those instruments for which inputs to the valuation methodology
are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 defined as those instruments for which inputs to the valuation methodology include
quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and for which inputs are observable,
either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. The
FHLBanks trading securities, available-for-sale securities and derivative instruments are
considered Level 2 instruments based on the inputs utilized to derive fair value.
Level 3 defined as those instruments for which inputs to the valuation methodology are
unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The FHLBank utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize
the use of unobservable inputs.
For instruments carried at fair value, the FHLBank reviews the fair value hierarchy classifications
on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of the valuation attributes may result in a
reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as
transfers in/out at fair value as of the beginning of the quarter in which the changes occur. The
FHLBank did not have any transfers during the six months ended June 30, 2010 or 2009.
Valuation Techniques and Significant Inputs. The following valuation techniques and significant
inputs are used to determine fair value.
Cash and due from banks: The fair value equals the carrying value.
Interest-bearing deposits: The fair value is determined based on each securitys quoted prices,
excluding accrued interest, as of the last business day of the period.
Securities purchased under agreements to resell: The fair value approximates the carrying value.
Federal funds sold: The fair value of overnight Federal funds sold approximates the carrying value.
The fair value of term Federal funds sold is determined by calculating the present value of the
expected future cash flows. The discount rates used in these calculations are the rates for Federal
funds with similar terms, as approximated by adding an estimated current spread to the LIBOR swap
curve for Federal funds with similar terms. The fair value excludes accrued interest.
Trading securities: The FHLBanks trading portfolio consists of discount notes issued by Freddie
Mac and/or Fannie Mae (non-mortgage-backed securities) and mortgage-backed securities issued by
Ginnie Mae. Quoted market prices in active markets are not available for these securities.
In general, in order to determine the fair value of its non-mortgage backed securities, the FHLBank
uses either (a) an income approach based on a market-observable interest rate curve that may be
adjusted for a spread, or (b) prices received from pricing services. The income approach uses
indicative fair values derived from a discounted cash flow methodology. The FHLBank believes that
both methodologies result in fair values that are reasonable and similar in all material respects
based on the nature of the financial instruments being measured.
For its discount notes issued by Freddie Mac and/or Fannie Mae, the FHLBank determines the fair
value using the income approach.
For mortgage-backed securities, the FHLBanks valuation technique incorporates prices from up to
four designated third-party pricing vendors when available. These pricing vendors use methods that
generally employ, but are not limited to, benchmark yields, recent trades, dealer estimates,
valuation models, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and/or matrix pricing. The
FHLBank establishes a price for each mortgage-backed security using a formula that is based upon
the number of prices received. If four prices are received, the average of the middle two prices is
used; if three prices are
32
Table of Contents
received, the middle price is used; if two prices are received, the average of the two prices is
used; and if one price is received, it is used subject to some type of validation as described
below. The computed prices are tested for reasonableness using specified tolerance thresholds.
Computed prices within the established thresholds are generally accepted unless strong evidence
suggests that using the formula-driven price would not be appropriate. Preliminary estimated fair
values that are outside the tolerance thresholds, or that management believes may not be
appropriate based on all available information (including those limited instances in which only one
price is received), are subject to further analysis, including but not limited to, a comparison to
the prices for similar securities and/or to non-binding dealer estimates or use of an internal
model that is deemed most appropriate after consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances
that a market participant would consider.
As of June 30, 2010, all of the FHLBanks mortgage-backed securities holdings were priced using
this valuation technique. The relative lack of dispersion among the vendor prices received for each
of the securities supported the FHLBanks conclusion that the final computed prices are reasonable
estimates of fair value.
Available-for-sale securities: The FHLBanks available-for-sale portfolio consists of certificates
of deposit. Quoted market prices in active markets are not available for these securities.
Therefore, the fair value is determined based on each securitys indicative fair value obtained
from a third-party vendor. The FHLBank performs several validation steps in order to verify the
accuracy and reasonableness of these fair values. These steps may include, but are not limited to,
a detailed review of instruments with significant periodic price changes and a derived fair value
from an option-adjusted discounted cash flow methodology using market-observed inputs for the
interest rate environment and similar instruments.
The following table presents the significant inputs (either an interest rate curve and a discount
spread, if applicable, or the price received from the pricing service) used to measure the fair
value for each class of non-mortgage-backed security investment carried at fair value as of June
30, 2010 (in thousands).
Interest Rate Curve/ | Spread Range to | |||||||||
Pricing Services | the Interest Rate Curve | Fair Value | ||||||||

Held-to-maturity securities: The FHLBanks held-to-maturity portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury
obligations, discount notes issued by Freddie Mac and/or Fannie Mae, taxable municipal bonds, and
mortgage-backed securities. Quoted market prices are not available for these securities. The fair
value for each individual mortgage-backed security and collateralized mortgage obligation is
determined by using the third-party vendor approach described above. The fair value for U.S.
Treasury obligations and discount notes is determined using the income approach described above.
The fair value for taxable municipal bonds is determined based on each securitys indicative market
price obtained from a third-party vendor excluding accrued interest. The FHLBank uses various
techniques to validate the fair values received from third-party vendors for accuracy and
reasonableness.
Advances: The FHLBank determines the fair values of Advances by calculating the present value of
expected future cash flows from the Advances excluding accrued interest. The discount rates used in
these calculations are the replacement rates for Advances with similar terms, as approximated
either by adding an estimated current spread to the LIBOR swap curve or by using current indicative
market yields, as indicated by the FHLBanks pricing methodologies for Advances with similar
current terms. Advance pricing is determined based on the FHLBanks rates on Consolidated
Obligations. In accordance with Finance Agency Regulations, Advances with a maturity and repricing
period greater than six months require a prepayment fee sufficient to make the FHLBank financially
indifferent to the borrowers decision to prepay the Advances. Therefore, the fair value of
Advances does not assume prepayment risk.
For swapped option-based Advances, the fair value is determined (independently of the related
derivative) by the discounted cash flow methodology based on the LIBOR swap curve and forward rates
at year end adjusted for the estimated current spread on new swapped Advances to the swap curve.
For swapped Advances with a conversion option, the conversion option is valued by taking into
account the LIBOR swap curve and forward rates at year end and the markets expectations of future
interest rate volatility implied from current market prices of similar options.

Table of Contents
Mortgage loans held for portfolio, net: The fair values of mortgage loans are determined based on
quoted market prices offered to approved members as indicated by the FHLBanks Mortgage Purchase
Program pricing methodologies for mortgage loans with similar current terms excluding accrued
interest. The quoted prices offered to members are based on Fannie Mae price indications on to-be-announced mortgage-backed securities and FHA price
indications on government-guaranteed loans; the FHLBank then adjusts these indicative prices to
account for particular features of the FHLBanks Mortgage Purchase Program that differ from the
Fannie Mae and FHA securities. These features include, but may not be limited to:
§ | the Mortgage Purchase Programs credit enhancements; and | ||
§ | marketing adjustments that reflect the FHLBanks cooperative business model, and preferences for particular kinds of loans and mortgage note rates. |
These prices, however, can change rapidly based upon market conditions and are highly dependent
upon the underlying prepayment assumptions.
Accrued interest receivable and payable: The fair value approximates the carrying value.
Derivative assets/liabilities: The FHLBanks derivative assets/liabilities consists of interest
rate swaps and mortgage delivery commitments. The FHLBanks interest rate swaps are not listed on
an exchange. Therefore, the FHLBank determines the fair value of each individual interest rate swap
using market value models that use readily observable market inputs as their basis (inputs that are
actively quoted and can be validated to external sources). The FHLBank uses a mid-market pricing
convention as a practical expedient for fair value measurements within a bid-ask spread. These
models reflect the contractual terms of the interest rate swaps, including the period to maturity,
as well as the significant inputs noted below. The fair value determination uses the standard
valuation technique of discounted cash flow analysis.
The FHLBank performs several validation steps to verify the reasonableness of the fair value output
generated by the primary market value model. In addition to an annual model validation, the FHLBank
prepares a monthly reconciliation of the models fair values to estimates of fair values provided
by the derivative counterparties and to another third-party model. The FHLBank believes these
processes provide a reasonable basis for it to place continued reliance on the derivative fair
values generated by the primary model.
The FHLBank determines the fair value of mortgage delivery commitments using market prices from the
TBA/mortgage-backed security market or TBA/Ginnie Mae market and adjustments noted below.
The discounted cash flow analysis utilizes market-observable inputs (inputs that are actively
quoted and can be validated to external sources). Inputs by class of derivative are as follows:
Interest-rate swaps:
§ | LIBOR swap curve; and | ||
§ | Volatility assumption. Market-based expectations of future interest rate volatility implied from current market prices for similar options. |
Mortgage delivery commitments:
§ | TBA price. Market-based prices of TBAs by coupon class and expected term until settlement, adjusted to reflect the contractual terms of the mortgage delivery commitments, similar to the mortgage loans held for portfolio process. The adjustments to the market prices are market observable, or can be corroborated with observable market data. |
The FHLBank is subject to credit risk in derivatives transactions due to potential nonperformance
by the derivatives counterparties all of which are highly rated institutions. To mitigate this
risk, the FHLBank has entered into master netting agreements with all of its derivative
counterparties. In addition, to limit the FHLBanks net unsecured credit exposure to these
counterparties, the FHLBank has entered into bilateral security agreements with all active
derivatives dealer counterparties that provide for delivery of collateral at specified levels tied
to counterparty credit ratings. The FHLBank has evaluated the potential for the fair value of the
instruments to be impacted by counterparty credit risk and has determined that no adjustments were
significant or necessary to the overall fair value measurements at June 30, 2010 or December 31,
2009.

Table of Contents
The fair values of the FHLBanks derivatives 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 derivatives are netted by counterparty pursuant to the
provisions of the FHLBanks master netting agreements. If these netted amounts are positive, they
are classified as an asset and if negative, they are classified as a liability.
Deposits: The FHLBank determines the fair values of FHLBank deposits with fixed rates by
calculating the present value of expected future cash flows from the deposits and reducing this
amount for accrued interest payable. The discount rates used in these calculations are the cost of
deposits with similar terms.
Consolidated Obligations: The FHLBank determines the fair values of Discount Notes by calculating
the present value of expected future cash flows from the Discount Notes excluding accrued interest.
The discount rates used in these calculations are current replacement rates for Discount Notes with
similar current terms, as approximated by adding an estimated current spread to the LIBOR swap
curve. Each months cash flow is discounted at that months replacement rate.
The FHLBank determines the fair values of non-callable Consolidated Obligation Bonds (both
unswapped and swapped) by calculating the present value of scheduled future cash flows from the
bonds excluding accrued interest. The discount rates used in these calculations are estimated
current market yields, as indicated by the Office of Finance, for bonds with similar current terms.
The FHLBank determines the fair values of callable Consolidated Obligation Bonds (both unswapped
and swapped) by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows from the bonds
excluding accrued interest. The fair values are determined by the discounted cash flow methodology
based on the LIBOR swap curve and forward rates adjusted for the estimated spread on new callable
bonds to the swap curve and based on the markets expectations of future interest rate volatility
implied from current market prices of similar options.
Adjustments may be necessary to reflect the 12 FHLBanks credit quality when valuing Consolidated
Obligation Bonds measured at fair value. Due to the joint and several liability for Consolidated
Obligations, the FHLBank monitors its own creditworthiness and the creditworthiness of the other
FHLBanks to determine whether any credit adjustments are necessary in its fair value measurement of
Consolidated Obligation Bonds. The credit ratings of the FHLBanks and any changes to these credit
ratings are the basis for the FHLBanks to determine whether the fair values of Consolidated
Obligation Bonds have been significantly affected during the reporting period by changes in the
instrument-specific credit risk. The FHLBank had no adjustments during the six months ended June
30, 2010 or 2009.
Mandatorily redeemable capital stock: The fair value of capital subject to mandatory redemption is
par value for the dates presented as indicated by member contemporaneous purchases and sales at par
value. FHLBank stock can only be acquired by members at par value and redeemed at par value.
FHLBank stock is not traded and no market mechanism exists for the exchange of stock outside the
cooperative structure.
Commitments: The fair values of standby bond purchase agreements are based on the present value of
the estimated fees taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements.
Subjectivity of estimates. Estimates of the fair values of Advances with options, mortgage
instruments, derivatives with embedded options and bonds with options using the methods described
above and other methods are highly subjective and require judgments regarding significant matters
such as the amount and timing of future cash flows, prepayment speeds, interest rate volatility,
distributions of future interest rates used to value options, and discount rates that appropriately
reflect market and credit risks. The judgments also include the parameters, methods, and
assumptions used in models to value the options. The use of different assumptions could have a
material effect on the fair value estimates. Since these estimates are made as of a specific point
in time, they are susceptible to material near term changes.

Fair Value Option. The fair value option provides an irrevocable option to elect fair value as
an alternative measurement for selected financial assets, financial liabilities, unrecognized firm
commitments, and written loan commitments not previously carried at fair value. It requires a
company to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which it has chosen to use
fair value on the face of the Statements of Condition. Fair value is used for both the initial and
subsequent measurement of the designated assets, liabilities and commitments, with the changes in
fair value recognized in net income. If elected, interest income and interest expense carried on
Advances and Consolidated Bonds at fair value is recognized under the level-yield method based
solely on the contractual amount of interest due or unpaid and any transaction fees or costs are
immediately recognized into other non-interest income or other non-interest expense. The FHLBank
did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities during the
six months ended June 30, 2010.

Table of Contents
In addition, the 12 FHLBanks have joint and several liability for the par amount of all of the
Consolidated Obligations issued on their behalves. The par values of the outstanding Consolidated
Obligations of all 12 FHLBanks were $846.5 billion and $930.6 billion at June 30, 2010 and December
31, 2009, respectively.
In early March 2010, the FHLBank was advised by representatives of the Lehman Brothers Holdings,
Inc. bankruptcy estate that they believed that the FHLBank had been unjustly enriched in connection
with the close out of its interest rate swap transactions with Lehman at the time of the Lehman
bankruptcy in 2008 and that the bankruptcy estate was entitled to the $43 million difference
between the settlement amount the FHLBank paid Lehman in connection with the automatic termination
of those transactions and the market value fee the FHLBank received when replacing the swaps with
new swaps transacted with other counterparties. In early May 2010, the FHLBank received a
Derivatives Alternative Dispute Resolution notice from the Lehman bankruptcy estate with a
settlement demand of $65.8 million, plus interest accruing primarily at LIBOR plus 14.5 percent
since the bankruptcy filing, based on their view of how the settlement amount should have been
calculated. In accordance with the Alternative Dispute Resolution Order of the Bankruptcy Court
administering the Lehman estate, a non-binding mediation is now scheduled for August 25, 2010. The FHLBank
intends to fully participate in the mediation as required by the court. The FHLBank believes that
it correctly calculated, and fully satisfied its obligation to Lehman in September 2008, and the
FHLBank intends to vigorously dispute any claim for additional amounts.
The FHLBank also is subject to other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business.
After consultation with legal counsel, management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability,
if any, arising out of these matters will have a material effect on the FHLBanks financial
condition or results of operations.
Note 19Transactions with Other FHLBanks
The FHLBank notes all transactions with other FHLBanks on the face of its financial statements.
Occasionally, the FHLBank loans short-term funds to and borrows short-term funds from other
FHLBanks. These loans and borrowings are transacted at then current market rates when traded. There
were no such loans or borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009. Additionally,
the FHLBank occasionally invests in Consolidated Discount Notes issued on behalf of another
FHLBank. These investments are purchased in the open market from third parties and are accounted
for in the same manner as other similarly classified investments. There were no such investments
outstanding at June 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009. The following table details the average daily
balance of lending, borrowing and investing between the FHLBank and other FHLBanks for the six
months ended June 30 (in thousands):

The FHLBank may, from time to time, assume the outstanding primary liability for Consolidated
Obligations of another FHLBank (at then current market rates on the day when the transfer is
traded) rather than issuing new debt for which the FHLBank is the primary obligor. The FHLBank then
becomes the primary obligor on the transferred debt. There were no Consolidated Obligations
transferred to the FHLBank during the six months ended June 30, 2010 or 2009. The FHLBank did not
transfer any Consolidated Obligations to other FHLBanks during these periods.

Non-member Affiliates. The FHLBank has relationships with two non-member affiliates,
the Kentucky Housing Corporation and the Ohio Housing Finance Agency. The nature of these
relationships is twofold: one as an approved borrower from the FHLBank and one in which the FHLBank
invests in the purchase of these non-members bonds. The Kentucky Housing Corporation and the Ohio
Housing Finance Agency had no borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2010 or 2009. The
FHLBank had principal investments in the bonds of the Kentucky Housing Corporation of $7,365,000
and $10,375,000 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The FHLBank did not have
any investments in the bonds of the Ohio Housing Finance Agency as of June 30, 2010 or December 31,
2009. The FHLBank did not have any investments in or borrowings extended to any other non-member
affiliates during the six months ended June 30, 2010 or 2009.

Total assets at June 30, 2010 were $66,820 million, a decline of $4,567 million (six percent)
from year-end 2009. Average total assets in the first six months of 2010 were $70,404 million, a
decline of $19,913 million (22 percent) from the same period of 2009. Mission Asset
Activitycomprised of Advances, Letters of Credit, and the Mortgage Purchase Programtotaled
$46,473 million on June 30, 2010, a decrease of $2,424 million (five percent) from the end of 2009.
Advance principal fell $3,309 million (nine percent) from year-end 2009 and $12,278 million (28
percent) from June 30, 2009. The notional principal of Letters of Credit increased $1,435 million
(33 percent) from year-end 2009 and $729 million (14 percent) from June 30, 2009. The Mortgage
Purchase Programs principal balance declined $569 million (six percent) from year-end 2009 and
$893 million (nine percent) from June 30, 2009.
The trends in our financial condition that began in the fourth quarter of 2008 and that persisted
during 2009 continued in the first six months of 2010. Like many financial institutions, our asset
balancesespecially Advanceshave been negatively affected by the ongoing effects of the economic
recession and the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009. We also lost Advances due to mergers, in 2009
and prior years, of former members with financial institutions chartered outside our Fifth
District.
The increase in the available lines in the Letters of Credit program at June 30, 2010 compared to
year-end 2009 was due to renewed usage by one large member to support its public unit deposits.
Mortgage Purchase Program balances declined primarily because mortgage rates stabilized within a
relatively narrow range and the difficulties in the housing and mortgage markets continued, both of
which reduced refinancing activity. We purchased $248 million of loans in the first six months of
2010.
Despite the lower overall Mission Asset Activity, we continued to fulfill our mission of
providing reliable and attractively priced wholesale funding to our members. As of June 30, 2010,
members funded on average well over four percent of their assets with Advances, the
penetration rate was relatively stable with almost 80 percent of members holding Mission Asset
Activity, and the number of active sellers and participants in the Mortgage Purchase Program
continued to grow.

Capital
Capital adequacy continued to be strong and exceeded all minimum regulatory capital
requirements. GAAP capital stood at $3,537 million on June 30, 2010. Included in the capital figure
is $423 million of retained earnings. The GAAP capital-to-assets ratio was 5.29 percent, while the
regulatory capital-to-assets ratio was 5.90 percent, which was well above the required minimum of
4.00 percent. Regulatory capital includes mandatorily redeemable capital stock accounted for as a
liability.
Other Assets
The balance of investments on June 30, 2010 was $22,062 million, down $2,131 million (nine
percent) from the end of 2009. Total investments included $11,222 million of mortgage-backed
securities principal and $10,812 million of short-term money market instruments. Mortgage-backed
securities are held primarily to enhance profitability. Money market investments are held primarily
for liquidity purposes to support members funding needs and to protect against the potential
inability to access capital markets for debt issuance.

Net income of $84 million in the first six months of 2010 was down $74 million (47 percent) from
the first six months of 2009. Return on average equity (ROE) also fell sharply, from 7.28 percent
to 4.82 percent. However, earnings continued to represent a competitive level of profitability on
stockholders capital investment in our company. The ROE spreads to 3-month LIBOR and the Federal
funds effective rate are two market benchmarks we believe stockholders use to assess the return on
their capital investment, which, along with access to our products and services, is a key source of
membership value. These spreads in the first two quarters of 2010 were below those in the first two
quarters and full year of 2009, but continued to be significantly above the market benchmarks and
very favorable compared to long-term historical levels.
The business and market environments allowed us to generate earnings sufficient to pay stockholders
a competitive dividend return in each of the first two quarters of 2010 and to increase retained
earnings by $11 million from year-end 2009. Our Board of Directors authorized payment to
stockholders of a cash dividend at an annual rate of 4.50 percent in each of the first and second
quarters. This was over 4.0 percentage points above average 3-month LIBOR in each quarter.
In the first six months of 2010, we accrued $10 million for future use in the Affordable Housing
Program.

Table of Contents
The decreases in net income and ROE resulted primarily from the following factors:
▪ | In the first half of 2009, the FHLBank earned abnormally wide portfolio spreads on many short-term and adjustable-rate assets indexed to LIBOR and funded with short-term Discount Notes. These wide spreads resulted from the financial market disruptions that began in 2008, which increased the cost of inter-bank lending (represented by LIBOR) relative to other short-term interest costs such as FHLBank Discount Notes. The FHLBank normally uses Discount Notes to fund a large amount of LIBOR-indexed assets. Beginning in the second half of 2009, the spread between LIBOR and Discount Notes moved back toward long-term historical levels. | ||
▪ | Over the past year, net spreads relative to funding costs on purchased mortgage assets (loans in the Mortgage Purchase Program and mortgage-backed securities) were on average narrower than the net spreads that had been earned on the mortgage assets paid down. In part, this was due to management actions to reduce market risk exposure to higher interest rates by extending the maturities of debt issued to fund the new assets. | ||
▪ | Total average assets decreased substantially. | ||
▪ | Short-term interest rates were lower in the first two quarters of 2010 compared to the same period of 2009, which reduced the amount of earnings generated from funding interest-earning assets with interest-free capital. For example, the benchmark 3-month LIBOR rate averaged 0.35 percent in the first six months of 2010, compared to 1.05 percent in the same period of 2009. The earnings reduction totaled approximately $13 million in the first six months of 2010 compared to the same period of 2009. | ||
▪ | The first six months of 2009 had $8 million in net market value gains (primarily unrealized) relating to accounting for derivatives. By comparison, there were net market value losses related to derivatives of $1 million in the first six months of 2010. |
These unfavorable effects on earnings were partially offset by lower interest expense resulting
from the FHLBank retiring, throughout 2009 and the first two quarters of 2010, a significant amount
of relatively high-cost Consolidated Obligation Bonds before their final maturities. These actions
were in response to declines in intermediate- and long-term interest rates.
Business Outlook and Update on Risk Factors
This section summarizes and updates from the Form 10-K filing what we believe are our major
current risk exposures and the current business outlook. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Risk Management provides details on current risk exposures. Many of the issues related to
our financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity discussed throughout this document
relate directly to the ongoing effects from the financial crisis and economic recession and to the
federal governments actions to attempt to mitigate their unfavorable effects.
Strategic/Business Risk
Advances. After falling sharply in 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, Advance
balances fell only slightly in the second quarter from first quarter levels. The continuing
economic recovery (although not strong), the possible subsiding in some members credit
deterioration, and slower deposit growth are factors that could indicate a bottoming out of the
substantial reduction in Advance demand since the fall of 2008. We cannot predict the future trend
of Advance demand because it depends on, among other things, the evolution of the economy,
conditions in the general and housing markets, the state of the governments liquidity programs,
and the willingness of financial institutions to expand lending. When improvements occur in
economic conditions, such as expansion of members loan demand from a stronger recovery, tightening
in the Federal Reserve Systems monetary policy, or winding down of the governments funding and
liquidity programs, we would expect to see increases in Advance demand.
Mortgage
Purchase Program. We expect the Mortgage Purchase Program
balance to continue to experience moderate declines
because most current sellers and recent new approvals are smaller
community-based members. Growth could re-accelerate if mortgage rates fall again for a sustained
period of time, or if one or more larger members decides to sell us a significant volume of loans.
We do not currently anticipate the latter event to occur. We continue to emphasize both recruiting
community financial institution members to the Program and increasing the number of regular
sellers.
Due to the deterioration in the mortgage markets over the last two years, the providers of
supplemental mortgage insurance used in the Mortgage Purchase Program currently have ratings below
the double-A rating required by a Federal Housing Finance Agency (Finance Agency) Regulation. This
results in a technical violation of the Regulation, for which the Finance Agency granted waivers as
to both existing and new business. In addition, the insurer we use for new business has
43
Table of Contents
continually increased the cost of purchasing supplemental mortgage insurance, which threatens to
make the Program uncompetitive.
We have
submitted two proposals to the Finance Agency. The first, relating to
new Program business, requested approval to reduce our use of supplemental mortgage insurance and to replace it with increased
use of the Lender Risk Account, which is already the primary credit enhancement feature of the Program. We believe this change in credit enhancement structure will maintain
compliance with the Programs legal, accounting, and other regulatory requirements, preserve the
Programs minimal credit risk profile, and enable the Program to continue as a beneficial business
activity for our members. In March 2010, the Finance Agency approved the proposal, subject to
certain technical and operational conditions that we are addressing. We anticipate introducing the
improved credit enhancement structure as soon as the conditions are met.
The second proposal involves an analysis of credit enhancement alternatives that do not rely on
supplemental mortgage insurance for existing pools in the Program. In July 2010, the Finance Agency
extended the waiver and agreed to consider a formal request to cancel supplemental insurance
coverage related to existing pools that can achieve a triple-B rating without the supplemental
insurance. We expect to submit the request as soon as possible. We believe that the request to
cancel supplemental insurance on these pools would only nominally increase the credit risk exposure
of existing pools because the amounts of other credit enhancements in place relative to loan losses
are sufficient, without supplemental insurance, to protect against expected losses except in the
most stressful economic scenarios.
Regulatory and Legislative Risk
On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law an
overhaul of financial regulation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
The FHLBanks were exempted from a number of provisions in the bill that would have significantly
curtailed lending and increased costs to members. However, the FHLBanks are subject to the laws
derivatives trading and reporting requirements, which could raise our expenses and reduce our
ability to act as an intermediary between members and the capital markets. In addition, provisions
in the law that affect our member financial institutions could affect the ability to carry out our
housing finance business model. Further, if the FHLBanks are identified as being systemically
important financial institutions by the Federal Reserve, we would be subject to heightened
prudential standards, which could include, among other things, new risk-based capital, liquidity, and
risk management requirements. Until various regulatory agencies begin the process of adopting the
2,319-page law into regulations governing the financial industry, we cannot predict how the
FHLBanks in general and our FHLBank in particular may be directly or indirectly affected.
The FHLBank System includes the 12 District FHLBanks, the Finance Agency and the Office of Finance.
The FHLBank Systems regulator, the Finance Agency, also regulates the Federal National Mortgage
Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). There are
significant differences between the FHLBank System and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, including our distinctive
cooperative business model; however, because of the ongoing effects of the financial crisis and
financial challenges at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as at some FHLBanks, the FHLBank
System has faced heightened scrutiny in the last several years. This level of scrutiny is expected to continue as legislators and the White House address
government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) reform. We
cannot predict what effects GSE reform might have on the FHLBanks business model, financial
condition or results of operations.
Other Risks Including Profitability
We believe that the collective exposures from our other risksmarket risk, funding/liquidity
risk, capital adequacy, credit risk, and operational riskcontinued to be modest in the first six
months of 2010. Market risk exposure was modest and below historical average levels, especially
exposure to higher interest rates. Although we expect profitability will decrease in the remainder
of 2010 and beyond compared to the levels of 2009 and the first six months of 2010, we believe our
business will continue to generate a competitive return on member stockholders capital investment
except potentially in the most extreme cases of market and business risk. We have always maintained
compliance with our capital requirements and we believe we hold a sufficient amount of retained
earnings to protect our capital stock against earnings losses and impairment risk. No material
operational risk event was experienced in the first six months of 2010.
We also believe that, after being elevated in late 2008 and early 2009, funding/liquidity risk
subsided as 2009 progressed and was at comparatively normal levels in the first six months of 2010.
Although there can be no assurances, we believe the possibility of a liquidity or funding crisis in
the FHLBank System that would impair our FHLBanks ability to service our debt or pay competitive
dividends is remote.
44
Table of Contents
Our FHLBank continued to experience limited credit risk exposure from offering Advances, purchasing
mortgage loans, making investments, and executing derivative transactions, due to our conservative
underwriting, collateral and counterparty policies and limits. Based on analysis of actual and expected future exposures and application of
GAAP, we believe that no loss reserves are required for Advances or mortgage assets and
that no investments are other-than-temporarily impaired.

CONDITIONS IN THE ECONOMY AND FINANCIAL MARKETS
Economy
The primary external factors that affect our Mission Asset Activity and earnings are the
general state and trends of the economy and financial institutions, especially in our Fifth
District (comprised of Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee); conditions in the financial, credit, and
mortgage markets; and interest rates. The economy entered a sharp recession in the fourth quarter
of 2007, which continued throughout 2008 and into 2009. However, starting in mid-2009 it appeared
that the recession and financial crisis ended based on numerous indications, including among
others:
▪ | a return to growth in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP); | ||
▪ | reduction in credit spreads; | ||
▪ | rebound in corporate profits; | ||
▪ | sharp increases in many stock markets; | ||
▪ | unfreezing of credit markets; | ||
▪ | increases in industrial production and consumer spending; and | ||
▪ | some positive, although sporadic, signs of health in the housing market. |
Although we believe the recession and financial crisis have ended, their unfavorable effects may
last for some time. The ongoing effects are likely to continue to include subdued member lending
demand, member deposit growth, overall financial difficulties for many of our members that may
continue to make them hesitant to increase lending, and substantial liquidity and funding
alternatives available from the federal government to combat the recession and financial crisis. To
the extent these effects and conditions continue, we expect Advance demand across our membership to
remain slow. In addition, the economic recovery so far has been relatively weak by historical
standards and has not yet resulted in expansion of our Mission Asset Activity.
Regarding member loan demand and deposit activity, the following data provide an indication of the
lower need for our wholesale Advance funds. In the nine months after June 30, 2009, our member bank
and credit union consumer, mortgage, and commercial loans decreased six percent ($32 billion),
while their deposit base increased two percent ($13 billion). The differential between the loan
versus deposit balances was eight percent, or $45 billion. We have no reason to believe that these
loan and deposit trends reversed in the second quarter of 2010.
Another key reason for the lack of growth in Advance demand is the extraordinarily high amount of
excess bank reserves, which diminishes the need for alternative liquidity sources, including
Advances. In addition, many financial institutions, as well as other companies, appear uncertain as
to the state of the economy, the appropriateness of the governments fiscal and monetary policy for
business conditions, and the still-evolving changes in the financial regulatory environment. We
believe this uncertainty is also constraining economic activity and, therefore, our Advance demand.

In the second quarter of 2010, as in the first quarter and in 2009, the interest rate
environment remained favorable for the FHLBank. Although interest rates did fluctuate, as
summarized in the table, the continued trend of relatively stable rates and a steep yield curve
benefitted our earnings and market risk exposure. The Federal Reserve maintained overnight Federal
funds target and effective rates between zero and 0.25 percent. Levels of other short-term interest
rates remained very low and on average were generally consistent with their historical relationship
to Federal funds.
Intermediate- and long-term interest rates, including mortgage rates, decreased moderately in the
second quarter, especially towards the end of the quarter, while spreads on our Consolidated
Obligation Bonds to LIBOR and U.S. Treasury rates remained fairly stable. This trend improved
earnings because it allowed us to continue retiring higher-cost callable Bonds before their final
maturities. Market rates on mortgages also declined in the second quarter, especially towards the
end of the quarter. However, the continued difficulties in the housing market resulted in
relatively moderate prepayment speeds for our mortgage assets compared to historical experience,
particularly given how much the rates on the mortgage assets were above current market rates.

Credit Activity and Advance Composition
After decreasing eight percent in the first quarter of 2010 from year-end 2009, the principal
balance of Advances fell much less in the second quarter. As shown in the table below, the
principal balance at June 30, 2010 was down $3,309 million (nine percent) from year end but down
only $456 million (one percent) from March 31, 2010. The relative stabilization of Advance balances
in the second quarter compared to the first quarter was not limited only to larger members.

Between year-end 2009 and June 30, 2010, most of the decrease in balances occurred in the
LIBOR, Regular Fixed Rate Advance, and Convertible programs.
The only Advance programs to increase between March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 were the REPO/Cash
Management programs, the Mortgage Related Program and various smaller other Advance programs. REPO
and Cash Management programs typically are the first programs to experience growth when Advances
begin to grow.
After falling $829 million (19 percent) in the first quarter, members available lines and usage of
the Letters of Credit program grew in the second quarter by $2,264 million (63 percent). The growth
primarily reflected increased activity with one member who expanded usage to support public unit
deposits.

On both dates, three of our top five Advance borrowersPNC Bank, N.A., New York Community
Bank, and RBS Citizens, N.A.were nonmembers that hold Advances because they acquired a financial
institution, or the assets of a financial institution, chartered in our District. All Advance
balances held by nonmembers will eventually mature or be prepaid. Nonmembers are not eligible to
increase their Advance holdings with us. Advances are concentrated among a small number of members,
with the concentration ratio to the top five borrowers fluctuating in the range of 50 to 65 percent
in the last several years.
Although Advance usage has fallen broadly across the membership since the fall of 2008, the rate of
decline slowed in 2010, especially for larger members (with assets over $1.0 billion). As shown in
the following table, between the first and second quarters of 2010, the unweighted average ratio
of each members Advance balance to its most-recently available figures for total assets was
constant for larger members. For smaller members, the ratio fell less in the second quarter than in
the first quarter. As with second quarter trends in aggregate Advance balances discussed above,
these data could indicate a bottoming out of Advance demand.

Mortgage Purchase Program (Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio)
The principal loan balance in the Mortgage Purchase Program decreased in each of the first and
second quarters of 2010. The principal balance at June 30, 2010 fell $569 million (six percent)
from the end of 2009 as shown in the table below. Balances declined despite generally lower
mortgage rates, primarily because the difficulties in the credit, housing, and mortgage markets
continued, which reduced refinancing activity. In addition, we believe that the sharp increases in
the cost of supplemental mortgage insurance during the last year has affected loan balances by
reducing the competitiveness of the prices we offer to purchase mortgages. We purchased only $248
million of loans in the first six months of 2010. See the Executive Overview for discussion of an
anticipated change in the Program.
Our focus continues to be on recruiting community-based members to participate in the Program and
on increasing the number of regular sellers. The number of regular sellers remains at a relatively
high level compared to historical trends, and a substantial number of other members either are
actively interested in joining the Program or are in the process of joining.

We closely track the refinancing incentives of our mortgage assets because the option for
homeowners to change their principal payments normally represents almost all of our market risk
exposure. The $817 million in principal paydowns equated to a 14 percent annual constant prepayment
rate, compared to 23 percent in all of 2009. The deceleration in prepayment rates reflected both
the wind down of the refinancing wave that had been brought about by the low mortgage rates of 2009
and the continuing difficult credit and housing market conditions, which we believe has limited the
ability for many homeowners to refinance their mortgage loans.
The Programs weighted-average mortgage note rate and composition of balances by loan type and by
original final maturity did not change materially in the first six months of 2010. As in prior
years, yields earned on new mortgage loans in the Program, relative to funding costs, continued to
offer acceptable risk-adjusted returns.
Investments
In the first six months of 2010, our investments portfolio continued to provide liquidity,
enhance earnings, help us manage market risk, and, in the case of mortgage-backed securities, help
us support the housing market. We continued to maintain money market balances at
relatively high levels compared to historical comparisons. This was due both to our desire to
offset a portion of earnings lost from the sharp declines in Advance balances and to Finance Agency
guidance to target as many as 15 days of liquidity. The portfolio averaged $16,324 million in the
first six months of 2010, compared to $18,166 million in all of 2009. The balance at June 30, 2010
was $10,812 million, when we elected to hold $3,185 million in funds at the Federal Reserve instead
of with traditional unsecured counterparties, due to the zero or negative interest rates available
on overnight investments with those counterparties on that date. This has been a trend at recent
quarter ends.
The book balance of the mortgage-backed securities portfolio averaged $11,658 million in the first
six months of 2010. The balance on June 30, 2010 was $11,243 million, which represented a multiple
to regulatory capital of 2.85, which is below the regulatory limit of three times regulatory
capital.
The following table shows that principal purchases of mortgage-backed securities were almost the
same as principal paydowns, which equated to a 26 percent annual constant prepayment rate (the same
rate as in all of 2009).

Although initial net spreads on new mortgage-backed securities relative to funding costs continued
to offer acceptable risk-adjusted returns in the first six months of 2010, market prices on new
securities were substantially higher than would be expected based only on their note rates. (See
the discussion in the Market Capitalization Ratios section of Qualitative and Quantitative
Disclosures About Risk Management.) The premium market prices increase the possibility for future
earnings volatility from amortizing the premiums. Because of this, we were selective in purchasing
new securities.

The following table presents the composition of the principal balances of the mortgage-backed
securities portfolio by security type, collateral type, and issuer. The decreases in collateralized
mortgage obligations and in 20- and 30-year original collateral and the increase in pass-throughs
and 15-year original collateral occurred because all purchases in the first six months of 2010 were
pass-through securities composed of 15-year collateral.

We fund short-term and adjustable-rate Advances, Advances hedged with interest rate swaps, and
money market investments with a combination of Discount Notes, unswapped adjustable-rate Bonds, and
swapped fixed-rate Bonds (which effectively create short-term funding). We fund long-term assets
principally with unswapped fixed-rate Bonds to manage the market risk exposure of the long-term
assets.

Table of Contents
In the first six months of 2010, the average and ending balances of Discount Notes were
significantly lower than 2009s average balance and moderately above the year-end 2009 balance. The
reduced reliance on Discount Notes in the first six months of 2010 compared to 2009s average
balances resulted from the substantial decrease in Advance balances. The increase in Discount Notes
in the first six months of 2010 compared to the end of 2009 reflected reduced reliance on swapped
fixed-rate Obligations, as the cost of Discount Notes improved relative to swapped funding.
The relatively stable balance of unswapped fixed-rate Bonds reflected the modest change in mortgage
asset balances and lower balances of long-term fixed rate Advances. The allocations of unswapped
fixed-rate Bonds at June 30, 2010 according to their final maturities, percentage of callable
Bonds, and next call dates for callable Bonds were similar compared to year-end 2009 and the last
several years. We believe that the allocations of the Bonds among these spectrums provide effective
mitigation of market risk exposure to both higher and lower mortgage rates.
Long-term Consolidated Obligation Bonds normally have an interest cost at a spread above U.S.
Treasury securities and below LIBOR. After being wider and more volatile than normal in the first
several months of 2009, the spreads and volatility were at levels comparable to historical averages
in the first six months of 2010, which benefitted our earnings.
For discussion of the cost of Discount Note funding relative to LIBOR, which in the last two years
has been a major driver of earnings, see the Net Interest Income section of Results of
Operations.
Deposits
Total deposits were $1,615 million at June 30, 2010, a decrease of $470 million (23 percent)
from year-end 2009. As shown on the Average Balance Sheet and Yield/Rates table in Results of
Operations, the average balance of term deposits and other interest-bearing deposits in the first
six months of 2010 was $1,710 million, which was $78 million higher than the same period of 2009.

Regulatory financial leverage was lower in the first six months of 2010 compared to 2009s average
leverage ratio because of the reductions in Advance balances.
The substantial decrease in GAAP capital stock in the first six months of 2010, compared to 2009s
average balance, was due primarily to the termination of several memberships as a result of mergers
with financial institutions outside our Fifth District and to requests from several members for
redemption of their excess stock balances. Based on our
communications with members, some of these redemption requests
reflected the desire of a few members to limit their
investment concentrations due to concerns with the financial condition of the FHLBank System,
knowing that System Consolidated Obligations are the joint and several responsibilities of all
FHLBanks. Members expressed no concern about our FHLBanks financial condition or performance.
Regulatory capital stock balances decreased $222 million in the first six months of 2010. This
resulted primarily from our repurchase of $287 million of mandatorily redeemable excess capital
stock, $201 million of which was held by former members.
The table below shows the amount of excess capital stock. Because Advances continued to decrease in
the first six months of 2010, the amount of excess capital stock outstanding increased and the
amount of capital stock members cooperatively utilized in accordance with our Capital Plan
decreased. This occurred despite our repurchase of excess stock.

A Finance Agency Regulation prohibits us from paying stock dividends if the amount of our
regulatory excess stock (defined by the Finance Agency to include stock cooperatively used) exceeds
one percent of our total assets on a dividend payment date. Since the end of 2008, we have exceeded
the regulatory threshold and, therefore, have been required to pay cash dividends. Until Advances
grow substantially again, we expect to continue paying cash dividends.
Retained earnings at June 30, 2010 totaled $423 million, an increase of $11 million over year-end
2009. Retained earnings grew because the 4.82 percent average ROE in the first six months exceeded
the 4.50 percent annualized dividend rate we paid to stockholders.
Membership and Stockholders
On June 30, 2010, we had 735 member stockholders. During the first half of 2010, five
institutions became new member stockholders while five were lost. The five lost members were
composed of three members that merged with other Fifth District members, one that merged out of the
Fifth District, and one that involuntarily withdrew from membership. The impact on Mission Asset
Activity and earnings from these membership changes was negligible.
In the first six months of 2010, there were no material changes in the percentage of total eligible
companies that were members, in the composition of membership by state, or in the allocation of
member stockholders by their asset size. Because most existing eligible commercial banks and
thrifts are already members, our recruitment of new members focuses primarily on insurance
companies and credit unions.

Compared to the first two quarters of 2009, the earnings performance in each of the first two
quarters of 2010 was more normal relative to historical experiences, given the low levels of
interest rates in both years. The abnormally wide earnings relative to short-term interest rates in
the first six months of 2009 reflected extremely wide spreads earned on LIBOR-indexed Advances
resulting from high short-term LIBOR relative to our short-term Consolidated Obligation funding
costs during that period. This is explained in more detail below.

Table of Contents
Earnings From Capital. Earnings generated from funding interest-earning assets with
interest-free capital (earnings from capital) decreased in both comparisons because of the
significant reductions in interest rates, especially short-term rates, that reduced yields earned
on interest-earning assets funded with interest-free capital. We deploy much of our capital in
short-term and adjustable-rate assets to help ensure that our ROE moves with short-term interest
rates and to help control market risk exposure.
Net Amortization/Accretion. Net amortization/accretion includes recognition of premiums and
discounts purchased on mortgage assets and of premiums, discounts and concessions paid on
Consolidated Obligation Bonds. Although volatility in net amortization can be substantial, the
total change in such amortization was moderate in both comparisons.
Prepayment Fees on Advances. Prepayment fees depend mostly on the actions and preferences
of members to continue holding Advances. Fees in one period of time do not necessarily indicate a
trend that will continue in future periods. Although the fees we charge for early repayment of
certain Advances can be, and in the past have been, significant, they were modest in the both 2010
and 2009. The prepayment fees are designed to make us economically indifferent to whether members
hold Advances to maturity or repay them before their maturity.
Other Components of Net Interest Rate Spread. Excluding net amortization and Advance
prepayment fees, the other components of the net interest rate spread decreased by $78 million (42
percent) in the six-months comparison and by $35 million in the three-months comparison. Several
factors, discussed below in estimated order of impact from largest to smallest, were primarily
responsible for the reductions.

In the first six months of 2009, average portfolio spreads on LIBOR-indexed Advances relative to their Discount Note funding were abnormally wider than the 18 to 20 basis points historical average; in some months, the spreads were more than 100 basis points. In the first six months of 2010, the spreads were close to their historical average. | ||
Spreads widened because the financial crisis raised the cost of inter-bank lending (represented by LIBOR) relative to other short-term interest costs such as our Discount Notes. Early in the third quarter of 2009, the spread between LIBOR and Discount Notes moved back to approximately its long-term historical level. This was due to the markets perception that the financial crisis had ended combined with the effects of the massive amounts of government liquidity injected into the financial system. | |||
▪ | Re-issuing called Consolidated Bonds at lower debt costsFavorable: Between June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010, the low intermediate- and long-term interest rate environment enabled us to retire (call) approximately $10 billion of unswapped Bonds before their final maturities and replace them with new Consolidated Obligations, many at substantially lower interest rates. Most of the called Bonds funded mortgage assets. The favorable impact of these actions was somewhat muted because we extended the maturities of the new Bonds in order to reduce market risk exposure to higher interest rates. | ||
▪ | Lower net spreads on new mortgage assetsUnfavorable: Between June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010, we purchased $4.7 billion of new mortgage assets (loans in the Mortgage Purchase Program and mortgage-backed securities). Net spreads relative to funding costs on the purchased assets were on average narrower than the net spreads that had been earned on the mortgage assets paid down in this period. In part, this was due to our actions to reduce market risk exposure to higher interest rates by extending the maturities of debt issued to fund the new assets. | ||
▪ | Decrease in financial leverage due to lower balances of Advances and mortgage assetsUnfavorable: In the first six months of 2010 compared to the same period of 2009, the average principal balance of Advances declined by $16.4 billion and the average principal balance of mortgage assets (including the Mortgage Purchase Program and mortgage-backed securities) declined by $0.9 billion. |
Three-Months Comparison |
For the three-months comparison, the same factors affected the other components of net interest rate spread as in the six-months comparison and in approximately the same relative magnitude. |

The 0.13 and 0.11 percentage points reductions in the net interest rate spread for the
three-month and six-month comparisons, respectively, resulted primarily from the net impacts of the
factors discussed above in Other Components of Net Interest Rate Spread.
The average rates on Advances, short-term borrowings, adjustable-rate Bonds, and swapped Bonds
decreased mostly because of the sharp declines in short-term LIBOR. The average rates on Federal
funds sold were relatively stable, as the Federal Reserve had dropped the overnight Federal funds
rate to its current level by the end of 2008.
57
Table of Contents
The average rates on mortgage loans held for portfolio and mortgage-backed securities decreased due
to the lower yields on new mortgages versus existing mortgages (except as noted in the next
sentence). The rate on mortgage-backed securities increased in the three-months comparison because
of a sharp reduction in net amortization on that account, primarily in response to higher mortgage
rates in the second quarter of 2009 and lower mortgage rates in the second quarter of 2010.

Effect of the Use of Derivatives on Net Interest Income
The following table shows the effect of using derivatives on net interest income. The table does
not provide the effect on earnings from accounting for derivatives under derivative and fair value
accounting rules; this is provided in the next section Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest
Expense.

The
primary reasons we use derivatives, most of which are interest rate
swaps, are to manage
interest rate risk exposure and to reduce funding costs for Consolidated Obligations. The use of
derivatives results in a much closer match of actual cash flows between assets and liabilities than
would occur otherwise, but has a consequent reduction in earnings. Most of our derivatives
58
Table of Contents
synthetically convert the fixed interest rates on the swapped Advances and Consolidated Obligations
to adjustable-coupon rates tied to short-term LIBOR (mostly three-month), which normally have lower
interest rates than the fixed rates. This was especially true in the interest rate environments of
2009 and 2010, which had very steep yield curves. The total net impact of using derivatives was to
decrease net interest income by nearly the same amount in both comparison periods. However, the
reduction in earnings from using derivatives was acceptable because it enabled us to significantly
lower risk exposure.
See the section Use of Derivatives in Market Risk Management in Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Risk Management for further information.

The net gains on held-to-maturity securities resulted from our sales of mortgage-backed securities
in the second quarter of 2010 and in the first quarter of 2009.
The changes in net gains or losses on derivatives and hedging activities in all periods shown in
the table represented mostly unrealized market value adjustments, which resulted primarily from the
reductions in interest rates, and secondarily represented the amortization of market value gains.
The market values adjustments as a percentage of notional derivatives principal were modest, less
than 0.05 percentage points. We consider the amount of volatility in these periods to be modest and
consistent with the close hedging relationships of our derivative transactions.
Although other expense was relatively stable in all periods shown, it increased as a percent of
regulatory capital because of the reduction in capital in 2010 versus 2009.

REFCORP and Affordable Housing Program Assessments
In the first two quarters of 2010, assessments totaled $31 million, which reduced ROE by 1.80
percentage points. In the first two quarters of 2009, assessments totaled $57 million, which
reduced ROE by 2.64 percentage points. The relative burden of assessments decreased because net
income before assessments fell 46 percent while average GAAP capital fell only 20 percent.

Traditional Member Finance Segment
For both the three- and six-month comparisons, the decrease in net income and ROE reflected
primarily the return to an historically-normal spread between LIBOR-indexed Advances and Discount
Note funding, the reduction in the earnings from capital, the lower Advance balances, and narrower
net spreads on new mortgage-backed securities compared to the spreads that had been earned on
mortgages that paid down. These factors were offset only partially by calls of Consolidated Bonds
funding mortgage-backed securities. See the discussion above in Other Components of Net Interest
Rate Spread.
Mortgage Purchase Program Segment
The profitability of the Mortgage Purchase Program continued to be favorable, while not
significantly raising market risk and maintaining limited credit risk. The Program averaged 13
percent of total assets but accounted for 41 percent of earnings in the first six months of 2010.
The decrease in profitability for both the three- and six-month comparisons resulted from two
factors: 1) narrower spreads earned on new mortgages purchased compared to spreads that had been
earned on mortgages that paid down and 2) higher net amortization for the Program, including
premiums paid on mortgages and concessions recognized on called Bonds. These unfavorable factors
were only partially offset by replacing called Bonds with lower cost debt.
Although this segment can exhibit more earnings volatility relative to short-term interest rates
than the Traditional Member Finance segment, we believe the Mortgage Purchase Program will continue
to provide competitive risk-adjusted returns and augment earnings available to pay as dividends.

Market Risk
Overview
Market risk exposure of our earnings and the value of stockholders capital investment in the
FHLBank to unexpected changes and volatility in the market environment and business conditions is
normally one of our largest residual risk exposures. We attempt to minimize market risk exposure
while earning a competitive return on members capital stock investment.

These measures indicate that in the first six months of 2010, as in 2009, residual market risk
exposure was moderate. By June 30, 2010, market risk exposure was below historical average levels,
especially exposure to higher interest rates. In 2009 and the first six months of 2010, we lowered
exposure to higher interest rates, primarily by extending the average maturity of unswapped Bonds
used to fund mortgage assets.
Based on the market risk metrics, as well as analysis of cash flows and earnings simulations, we
expect that profitability will remain competitive even if interest rates were to change by a
substantial amount. Profitability could become uncompetitive if long-term rates were to increase
immediately and permanently by four percentage points or more, or short-term rates were to increase
immediately and permanently to at least eight percent. This amount of extreme change in interest
rates would not
62
Table of Contents
result in negative earnings, unless possibly coupled with many other market and business variables
experiencing extremely unfavorable changes, and would not threaten to impair our capital stock.
Regarding lower mortgage rates, we made calls of unswapped Bonds totaling $22 billion between the
fourth quarter of 2008 and June 30, 2010 and replaced them with new Consolidated Obligations, many
of them at significantly lower interest costs. Mortgage prepayments did not increase
proportionately to the amount of the Bonds called, in part due to the credit conditionsespecially
falling home pricesthat have made refinancing difficult for many homeowners. The amount of Bonds
we called will substantially mitigatebut not completely offsetthe lower earnings resulting from a
possible large acceleration in mortgage prepayment speeds if mortgage rates decrease again
substantially and for a long period of time.
On June 30, 2010, the mortgage asset portfolio had a net premium balance of $100 million. We
project that a 0.50 percentage decrease in the currently low mortgage rates would result in a $12
million immediate one-time increase in net amortization of mortgage asset net premiums (which would
lower earnings), while a 2.00 percentage increase to mortgage rates would result in a $6 million
immediate one-time decrease in net amortization (which would raise earnings). Although either
amount of volatility would result in a substantial change in ROE in the quarter the rate change
occurred, it would not materially threaten the competiveness of profitability. Further, the
earnings reduction from the change in net amortization would occur for only one quarter.
Market Capitalization Ratios
The following table presents two market capitalization ratios for the current (flat rate)
interest rate environment.

|||
Market Value of Equity to Book Value of Regulatory Capital |
107% | 103% | ||
Market Value of Equity to Par Value of Regulatory Capital Stock |
120% | 114% |
Because both ratios were above 100 percent and relatively stable in the first six months of 2010,
they support the assessment that we have a moderate amount of market risk exposure. Currently the
ratios are at very favorable (high) levels, due to the combination of generally low mortgage rates,
the anomaly of extremely high market prices on mortgage assets, narrower than expected market
spreads on new mortgage assets, the Bond calls discussed above, and (for the second ratio) the fact
that retained earnings comprise 11 percent of regulatory capital.

These measures indicate that the market risk exposure of the mortgage assets portfolio had
similar directional trends across interest rate shocks as those of the entire balance sheet. We
believe that our mortgage assets portfolio has a moderate amount of market risk exposure and is
consistent with our conservative risk philosophy and cooperative business model. However, as
expected, the mortgage assets portfolio had substantially greater risk than the entire balance
sheet.

Capital Adequacy
We have always complied with each of the Finance Agencys capital requirements. See the
Capital Resources section of Analysis of Financial Condition and Note 13 of the Notes to
Unaudited Financial Statements for more information on our capital adequacy.
Our Retained Earnings Policy sets forth a range for the amount of retained earnings we believe is
needed to mitigate impairment risk and augment dividend stability in light of the material risks we
face. The Policy conservatively establishes a range of adequate retained earnings from $140 million
to $285 million, with a target level of $170 million. On June 30, 2010, we had $423 million of
retained earnings. Given the recent financial and regulatory environment, we believe that an
abundance of caution is prudent; therefore, in the last several years we have been carrying a
greater amount of retained earnings than required by our policy.

Credit Risk
Overview
For the reasons detailed below, we believe we have a minimal amount of residual credit risk
exposure related to our dealings with members, purchases of investments, and transactions in
derivatives.
Credit Services
Overview. We have numerous policies and practices to manage credit risk exposure from
our secured lending activities, which include Advances and Letters of Credit. The objective of our
credit risk management is to equalize risk exposure across members and counterparties to a zero
level of expected losses. Despite deterioration in the credit conditions of many of our members and
in the value of some pledged collateral over the last two years, we believe that credit risk
exposure in our secured lending activities continued to be minimal in the first six months of 2010.
We base this assessment on the following factors:
▪ | a conservative approach to collateralizing credit that results in significant over-collateralization. This includes 1) systematically raising collateral margins and collateral status as the financial condition of a member or of the collateral pledged deteriorates, and 2) adjusting collateral margins for subprime and nontraditional mortgage loans that we have identified and determined are not properly underwritten; | ||
▪ | close monitoring of members financial conditions and repayment capacities; | ||
▪ | a risk focused process for reviewing and verifying the quality, documentation, and administration of pledged loan collateral; | ||
▪ | a moderate level of exposure to poorly performing subprime and nontraditional mortgages pledged as collateral; and | ||
▪ | a history of never experiencing a credit loss or delinquency on any Advance. |
Because of these factors, we have never established a loan loss reserve for Credit Services.
Collateral. We require each member to provide us a security interest in eligible collateral
before it can undertake any secured borrowing. One of our most important policy parameters is that
each member must overcollateralize its borrowings and must maintain borrowing capacity in excess of
its credit outstanding. As of June 30, 2010, the over-collateralization resulted in total
collateral pledged of $142.5 billion with total borrowing capacity of $87.1 billion. Lower
borrowing capacity results because we make downward adjustments to the collateral pledged to
recognize risks that may affect its realizable value in the event we must liquidate it.
Over-collateralization by one member is not applied to another member.
The table below identifies the allocation of pledged collateral as of June 30, 2010. 1-4 Family
Residential collateral decreased substantially ($8 billion) from the end of 2009, due primarily to
both lower levels of loans carried on a few large members balance sheets and lower amounts of
eligible collateral due to identification of ineligible loans as a result of collateral due
diligence reviews.

On June 30, 2010, we had $6,866 million of Advances outstanding to former members that had been
acquired by financial institutions who are not members of our FHLBank. Of this amount, $5,375
million was supported by subordination or other intercreditor security agreements with other
FHLBanks, with collateral totaling $7,792 million based on our required collateral levels. The
remainder was collateralized by $390 million of marketable securities and $2,399 million in loan
collateral held in our custody. Subordination agreements mitigate our risk in the event of default
of the counterparty FHLBank by giving our claim to the value of collateral priority over the
interests of the subordinating FHLBank, thus providing an incentive to ensure pledged collateral
values are sufficient to cover all parties.
Subprime and Nontraditional Mortgage Loan Collateral. Based on our collateral
reviews, we continue to estimate that approximately 20 to 25 percent of pledged residential loan
collateral has one or more subprime characteristics and that approximately eight percent of pledged
collateral meets the definition of nontraditional.

Internal Credit Ratings of Members. We assign each borrower an internal credit rating,
based on a combination of internal credit analysis and consideration of available credit ratings
from independent credit rating organizations. The analysis focuses on asset quality, financial
performance and earnings quality, liquidity, and capital adequacy. In addition to the credit
ratings process, we perform ongoing analyses of institutions that pose elevated credit risk. The
following tables show the distribution of internal credit ratings we assigned to member and
non-member borrowers, which we use to help manage credit risk exposure.

The left table shows the borrowing capacity (Advances and Letters of Credit) of both members
and non-member borrowers. The right side includes only institutions with outstanding credit
activity, which includes Advances and Letter of Credit obligations, along with their total
borrowing capacity. The lower the numerical rating, the higher our assessment of the members
credit quality. A 4 rating is our assessment of the lowest level of satisfactory performance.
Many of our members continue to be adversely affected by the recent financial crisis and recession,
with a resulting significant downward trend in our member credit ratings. This trend began in the
second half of 2007 and accelerated thereafter. As of June 30, 2010, 171 members and borrowing
nonmembers (23 percent of the total) had credit ratings of 5 or below, with $9.1 billion of
borrowing capacity. The decrease in the number of members and borrowing nonmembers with a credit
rating of 5 or below from the end of 2009 was due primarily to improvements made to our credit
ratings model. These changes involve enhanced balancing of mitigating factors that influence a
members overall financial condition, which we believe enables us to better identify the riskiest
institutions for greater resource focus on these members.
Member Failures, Closures, and Receiverships. There were no member failures in the first
six months of 2010.

Mortgage Purchase Program
Overview. We believe that the residual amount of credit risk exposure to loans in the
Mortgage Purchase Program is minimal and that it is probable we will be able to collect essentially
all remaining principal and interest amounts due. We base this assessment on the following factors:
▪ | the strong credit enhancements for conventional loans; | ||
▪ | the U.S. government insurance on FHA mortgage loans; | ||
▪ | no credit losses realized by us on any of the approximately 128,000 conventional loans purchased since inception of the Program other than a very small amount expected in 2010; | ||
▪ | minimal delinquencies and defaults experienced in the Programs loan portfolio; | ||
▪ | underwriting and loan characteristics consistent with favorable expected credit performance; and | ||
▪ | only de minimis losses experienced by supplemental mortgage insurance providers. |
Because of these factors, we have not established a loan loss reserve for the Program and have
determined that our mortgage loans were not impaired at June 30, 2010, as at all previous dates.
Lender Risk Account. The amount of loss claims against the Lender Risk Account in the first
six months of 2010 was approximately $4 million. Since inception of the Program, loss claims have
only used approximately $7 million, or 11 percent, of the Lender Risk Account.
Portfolio Loan Characteristics. Our policy is to originate loans that are of high credit
quality. The following table shows Fair Isaac and Company (FICO®) credit scores at
origination for the conventional loan portfolio. There was little change in the FICO®
distribution in the first six months of 2010.

High loan-to-value ratios, especially those above 90 percent in which homeowners have little
or no equity at stake, are key drivers in potential mortgage delinquencies and defaults. The
following table shows loan-to-value ratios for conventional loans based on values at origination
dates and values estimated as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The estimates of current
ratios are based on original loan values, principal paydowns that have occurred since origination,
and a third-party estimate of changes in historical home prices for the metropolitan statistical
area in which each loan resides. Both measures are weighted by current unpaid principal.

Although there has been some deterioration in the loan-to-value ratios, as expected in the current
economic conditions and housing markets, the data provide further support for our assessment that
the Mortgage Purchase Program has a strong overall credit quality. As of June 30, 2010, only 13
percent of loans were estimated to have current loan-to-value ratios above 90 percent, up from ten
percent at year-end 2009 and up from three percent at origination dates. By comparison, national
average housing prices have fallen by more than 20 percent in the last several years.
Further analysis of high-risk loans shows the following, as of June 30, 2010, which we believe
provides further support that the Program is comprised of high quality loans:
▪ | Of the $279 million of conventional principal balances with FICO® scores below 660 and current loan-to-values less than 100 percent, only $11 million (four percent) were seriously delinquent. | ||
▪ | Of the $456 million of conventional principal balances with FICO® scores above 660 and current loan-to-values above 100 percent, only $23 million (five percent) were seriously delinquent. | ||
▪ | Of the $33 million of conventional principal balances with FICO® scores below 660 and current loan-to-values above 100 percent, only $5 million (14 percent) were seriously delinquent. |
The geographical allocation of loans in the Program, based on unpaid principal balance of
conventional loans, is concentrated in the Midwest (63 percent), with 50 percent of the loans in
Ohio. This allocation did not change materially in the first six months of 2010. The concentration
of loans in the Midwest may further increase due to the loss of one of our historically largest
sellers of loans outside of the Midwest. Loans are less concentrated in the Northeast and West,
regions that historically have had the most exposure to credit problems including foreclosures and
housing price declines. In addition, only one percent and four percent of total conventional loans
were originated in the depressed real-estate markets of Florida and California, respectively.
Based on the available data, we believe we have little exposure to loans in the Program considered
to have individual characteristics of subprime or alternative/nontraditional loans. Further, we
do not knowingly purchase any loan that violates the terms of our Anti-Predatory Lending Policy.
Credit Performance. The Mortgage Purchase Program has had a relatively low amount of
delinquencies and foreclosures. The table below provides an analysis of conventional loans
delinquent or in foreclosure, along with the national average serious delinquency rate. The
national average is based on a nationally recognized delinquency survey. Since the financial
crisis, our delinquency/foreclosure rates on both conventional and FHA loans have increased
substantially but continued to be well below the national averages, and we expect this to continue
to be the case.

We perform a credit risk analysis for conventional loans, on a loan-by-loan basis, to determine if
projected claims on delinquent loans would be significant enough to exhaust all the credit
enhancements. The analysis uses a recognized third-party prepayment and housing credit model, which
we believe employs reasonably conservative assumptions on future home price trends. We also stress
this model for extremely pessimistic assumptions of future home prices and other variables. At June
30, 2010, we continued to expect no material probable losses on these loans in excess of the
combined credit enhancements.
Credit Risk Exposure to Supplemental Insurance Providers. The following table presents

Genworth is our current sole provider of supplemental mortgage insurance for new business. We
discontinued committing new business with MGIC in 2008, although 53 percent of our loans
outstanding have supplemental mortgage insurance underwritten by MGIC. We subject both supplemental
mortgage insurance providers to a standard credit underwriting analysis. At June 30, 2010, the net
exposure to both providers, after consideration of the protection afforded by the Lender Risk
Account, was an estimated $4 million. We believe this constitutes an acceptable amount of exposure
under the very extreme scenario of the entire conventional portfolio defaulting and the insurance
providers being financially unable to pay any of the resulting claims. Over its life, we have had
claims paid on 174 loans in the Mortgage Purchase Program. Because of these factors, we believe we
have a very small amount of credit risk exposure to these providers. See the related discussion in
Business Outlook and Update on Risk Factors of the Executive Overview.

The unsecured investments held with Aaa/AAA counterparties at year-end 2009 were short-term
Discount Notes issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. We held these as trading securities to augment
liquidity. The investment in Federal Reserve deposits at the end of each period resulted from our
decision to keep funds at the Federal Reserve instead of investing with
70
Table of Contents
traditional unsecured counterparties due to the zero or negative interest rates available on
overnight investments with those counterparties on that date.
Mortgage-Backed Securities. Historically, almost all of our mortgage-backed securities have
been GSE securities issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. On June 30, 2010, we held six
private-label mortgage-backed securities with an outstanding principal balance of only $144
million. We have policies to limit, monitor and mitigate exposure to investments having collateral
that could be considered subprime or alternative/nontraditional.
As indicated in Note 5 of the Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements, at June 30, 2010, our
mortgage-backed securities issued by GSEs in the held-to-maturity securities portfolio had an
estimated net unrealized gain totaling $553 million, which was five percent of their amortized
cost. The gain reflects the lower overall level of mortgage rates at June 30, 2010 compared to when
the securities were originated, and elevated market prices on GSE mortgage-backed securities. The
elevated market prices are commonly attributed to the combination of the high demand for
mortgage-related securities including from the government, the view of market participants that GSE
mortgage-backed securities have little if any credit risk, and the currently reduced prepayment
risk.
Private-label mortgage-backed securities have more credit risk than GSE and agency mortgage-backed
securities because the issuers do not guarantee principal and interest payments. We believe our
private-label securities are composed of high quality mortgages and have had, and will continue to
have, a minimal amount of credit risk. We base this assessment on the following factors, among
others.
▪ | Each carries increased credit subordination. | ||
▪ | Each is collateralized primarily by prime, fixed-rate, first lien mortgages originated in 2003 or earlier, not in more recent years when the largest numbers of the mortgages with current and expected credit issues were issued. | ||
▪ | Each has loan characteristics consistent with favorable expected credit performance. The average original FICO® score was 740, and the average current estimated loan-to-value ratio at June 30, 2010 was 51 percent. | ||
▪ | Each has a strong and seasoned credit performance history. At June 30, 2010, the 60-day or more delinquency rate was 0.24 percent and a minor amount (0.50 percent) of the loans backing the securities were in foreclosure or real-estate owned. |
The following table summarizes the credit support of our private-label mortgage-backed securities.

not change materially from the end of 2009. Although we cannot predict if we will realize credit or

to continue to satisfy the terms and conditions of their derivative contracts with us.

Lehman Brothers Derivatives. On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (Lehman
Brothers) filed a petition for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
We had 87 derivative transactions (interest rate swaps) outstanding with a subsidiary of Lehman
Brothers, Lehman Brothers Special Financing, Inc. (LBSF), with a total notional principal amount
of $5.7 billion. Under the provisions of our master agreement with LBSF, all of these swaps
automatically terminated immediately prior to the bankruptcy filing by Lehman Brothers. The
close-out provisions of the Agreement required us to pay LBSF a net fee of approximately $189
million, which represented the swaps total estimated market value at the close of business on
Friday, September 12, 2008. We paid LBSF approximately $14 million to settle all of the
transactions, comprised of the $189 million market value fee minus the value of collateral we had
delivered previously and other interest and expenses. On Tuesday, September 16, 2008, we replaced
these swaps with new swaps transacted with other counterparties. The new swaps had the same terms
and conditions as the terminated LBSF swaps. The counterparties
72
Table of Contents
to the new swaps paid us a net fee of approximately $232 million to enter into these transactions
based on the estimated market values at the time we replaced the swaps.
The $43 million difference between the settlement amount we paid Lehman and the market value fee we
received on the replacement swaps represented an economic gain to us based on changes in the
interest rate environment between the termination date and the replacement date. Although the
difference was a gain to us in this instance, because it represented exposure from terminating and
replacing derivatives, it could have been a loss if the interest rate environment had been
different. We will amortize the gain into earnings according to the swaps final maturities, most
of which will occur by the end of 2012.
In early March 2010, representatives of the Lehman bankruptcy estate advised us that they believed
that we had been unjustly enriched and that the bankruptcy estate was entitled to the $43 million
difference between the settlement amount we paid Lehman and the market value fee we received on the
replacement swaps. In early May 2010, we received a Derivatives Alternative Dispute Resolution
notice from the Lehman bankruptcy estate with a settlement demand of $65.8 million, plus interest
accruing primarily at LIBOR plus 14.5 percent since the bankruptcy filing, based on their view of
how the settlement amount should have been calculated. In accordance with the Alternative Dispute
Resolution Order of the Bankruptcy Court administering the Lehman estate, a non-binding mediation is now
scheduled for August 25, 2010. We intend to fully participate in the mediation as required by the
court. We believe that we correctly calculated, and fully satisfied, our obligation to Lehman in
September 2008, and we intend to vigorously dispute any claim for additional amounts.
Liquidity Risk and Contractual Obligations
Liquidity Overview
We believe that in the first six months of 2010 our liquidity position remained strong and our
overall ability to fund our operations through debt issuance at acceptable interest costs remained
sufficient. Our primary source of ongoing liquidity is through our participation in the issuance of
FHLBank System Consolidated Obligations. As shown on the Statements of Cash Flows, in the first six
months of 2010, our share of participations in debt issuance totaled $288.9 billion for Discount
Notes and $10.7 billion for Consolidated Bonds. The Systems triple-A debt ratings, the implicit
U.S. government backing of our debt, and our effective funding management were, and continue to be,
instrumental in ensuring satisfactory access to the capital markets.
We must meet both operational and contingency liquidity requirements. In the first six months of
2010, as in prior years, we satisfied the operational liquidity requirement both as a function of
meeting the contingency liquidity requirement and because we were able to adequately access the
capital markets to issue Obligations.
Contingency Liquidity Requirement
The following table presents the components of our contingency liquidity reserves. We
continued to hold an ample amount of liquidity reserves to protect against impaired access to the
debt markets for at least seven business days.

Contractual Obligations
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and off-balance sheet commitments
at June 30, 2010. The allocations according to the expiration terms and payment due dates of these
obligations were not materially different from those at the end of 2009, and changes reflected
normal business variations. As discussed elsewhere in this filing, we believe that, as in the past,
we will continue to have sufficient liquidity, including from access to the debt markets to issue
Consolidated Obligations, to satisfy these obligations timely.
