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 FHLBank's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.
 
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 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Interpretations
 
Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. On April 29, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance to improve the accounting for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The new guidance removes from the assessment of effective control: (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of the transferee's default, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 (January 1, 2012 for the FHLBank). This guidance will be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. The FHLBank is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of this guidance on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
 
A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. On April 5, 2011, the FASB issued guidance to clarify which debt modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings. It is intended to help creditors determine whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for presenting previously deferred disclosures related to troubled debt restructurings. The required disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011 (July 1, 2011 for the FHLBank) and apply retrospectively to troubled debt restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The adoption of this amended guidance is likely to result in increased financial statement disclosures, but will not affect the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. On July 21, 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance to enhance disclosures about an entity's allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables. The required disclosures as of the end of a reporting period were 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 were 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 resulted in increased financial statement disclosures, but did not affect the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

On January 19, 2011, the FASB issued guidance to defer temporarily the effective date of disclosures about troubled debt restructurings required by the amended guidance on disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The effective date for these new disclosures is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011 as noted above.
 
Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. On January 21, 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures. 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 rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 (January 1, 2011 for the FHLBank) and for interim periods within those fiscal years. In the period of initial adoption, entities are not required to provide the amended disclosures for any previous periods presented for comparative purposes. Adoption of this guidance resulted in increased financial statement disclosures but did not affect the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 6 - Other-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 security's 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.
 
The FHLBank assesses whether the entire amortized cost basis of the private-label residential mortgage-backed securities will be recovered by initially selecting all private-label mortgage-backed securities in an unrealized loss position for cash flow analysis.
 

13 


The FHLBank's evaluation includes estimating projected principal cash flows that the FHLBank is likely to collect based on an assessment of available information about the applicable security on an individual basis, including the structure of the security, and certain assumptions, such as the remaining payment terms for the security, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity on the collateral supporting the FHLBank's security based on underlying loan-level borrower and loan characteristics, expected housing price changes, and interest-rate assumptions, to determine whether the FHLBank will recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. If this estimate results in a present value of expected principal cash flows (discounted at the security's effective yield) that is less than the amortized cost basis of a security, a credit loss exists and an other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred.
 
The FHLBank performs cash flow analyses for securities in which underlying loan collateral data is available by using two third-party models. The first third-party model considers borrower characteristics and the particular attributes of the loans underlying the FHLBank's securities, in conjunction with assumptions about future changes in home prices and interest rates, to project prepayments, defaults and loss severities. A significant input to the first model is the forecast of future housing price changes for the relevant states and core based statistical areas (CBSAs), which is based upon an assessment of the individual housing markets. CBSA refers collectively to metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas as defined by the United States Office of Management and Budget. As currently defined, a CBSA must contain at least one urban area with a population of 10,000 or more people. The FHLBank's housing price forecast as of March 31, 2011 assumed CBSA level current-to-trough home price declines ranging from 0 percent to 10 percent over the 3 to 9 month period beginning January 1, 2011. Thereafter, home prices were projected to recover using one of five different recovery paths that vary by housing market. Under those recovery paths, home prices were projected to increase within a range of 0 percent to 2.8 percent in their first year, 0 percent to 3.0 percent in the second year, 1.5 percent to 4.0 percent the third year, 2.0 percent to 5.0 percent in the fourth year, 2.0 percent to 6.0 percent in each of the fifth and sixth years, and 2.3 percent to 5.6 percent in each subsequent year.
 
The month-by-month projections of future loan performance derived from the first model, which reflect projected prepayments, defaults and loss severities, are then input into a second model that allocates the projected loan level cash flows and losses to the various security classes in the securitization structure in accordance with its prescribed cash flow and loss allocation rules. In a securitization in which the credit enhancement for the senior securities is derived from the presence of subordinate securities, losses are generally allocated first to the subordinate securities until their principal balance is reduced to zero. The projected cash flows are based on a number of assumptions and expectations, and the results of these models can vary significantly with changes in assumptions and expectations. The scenario of cash flows determined based on the model approach described above reflects a best estimate of the present value of cash flows expected to be collected.
 
As a result of the evaluation, the FHLBank believes that it will recover the entire amortized cost basis in its private-label residential mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, because the FHLBank does not intend to sell such securities nor is it more likely than not that the FHLBank will be required to sell these securities before its anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis, it did not consider the private-label residential mortgage-backed securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2011.
 
For its other U.S. obligations, government-sponsored enterprise investments (mortgage-backed securities and non-mortgage-backed securities), and TLGP investments, the FHLBank determined that the strength of the issuers' guarantees through direct obligations or support from the U.S. government is sufficient to protect the FHLBank from losses based on current expectations. As a result, the FHLBank determined that, as of March 31, 2011, all of the gross unrealized losses on these investments were temporary as the declines in market value of these securities were not attributable to credit quality. Furthermore, the FHLBank does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not more likely than not that the FHLBank will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases. As a result, the FHLBank did not consider any of these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2011.
 
The FHLBank also reviewed its available-for-sale securities and the remainder of its held-to-maturity securities that have experienced unrealized losses at March 31, 2011 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 these 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 March 31, 2011.
 
The FHLBank did not consider any of its investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2010.

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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the FHLBank had callable Advances (in thousands) of $10,358,215 and $10,525,489.

The FHLBank also offers putable Advances. With a putable Advance, the FHLBank effectively purchases 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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the FHLBank had putable Advances, excluding those where the related put options have expired, totaling (in thousands) $6,591,650 and $6,658,150.

Note 9 - Allowance for Credit Losses
 
The FHLBank has established an allowance methodology for each of the FHLBank's portfolio segments: credit products; government-guaranteed or insured mortgage loans held for portfolio; and conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio.
 
Credit products
 
The FHLBank manages its credit exposure to credit products through an integrated approach that generally provides for a credit limit to be established for each borrower, includes an ongoing review of each borrower's financial condition and is coupled with conservative collateral/lending policies to limit risk of loss while balancing borrowers' needs for a reliable source of funding. In addition, the FHLBank lends to its members in accordance with federal statutes, including the Federal Home Loan Bank Act (FHLBank Act), and Finance Agency Regulations, which require the FHLBank to obtain sufficient collateral to fully secure credit products. The estimated value of the collateral required to secure each member's credit products is calculated by applying collateral discounts, or haircuts, to the value of the collateral. The FHLBank accepts certain investment securities, residential mortgage loans, deposits, and other real estate related assets as collateral. In addition, community financial institutions (CFIs)

17 


are eligible to utilize expanded statutory collateral provisions for small business and agriculture loans. The FHLBank's capital stock owned by the member is also pledged as collateral. Collateral arrangements and a member’s borrowing capacity vary based on the financial condition and performance of the institution, the types of collateral pledged and the overall quality of those assets. The FHLBank can call for additional or substitute collateral to protect its security interest. Management of the FHLBank believes that these policies effectively manage the FHLBank's credit risk from credit products.
 
Members experiencing financial difficulties are subject to FHLBank-performed “stress tests” of the impact of poorly performing assets on the member’s capital and loss reserve positions. Depending on the results of these tests and the level of overcollateralization, a member may be allowed to maintain pledged loan assets in its custody, or may be required to deliver those loans into the custody of the FHLBank or its agent, and/or may be required to provide details on these loans to facilitate an estimate of their fair value. The FHLBank perfects its security interest in all pledged collateral. The FHLBank Act affords any security interest granted to the FHLBank by a member priority over the claims or rights of any other party except for claims or rights of a third party that would be entitled to priority under otherwise applicable law and are held by a bona fide purchaser for value or by a secured party holding a prior perfected security interest.
 
Using a risk-based approach, the FHLBank considers the payment status, collateral types and concentration levels, and borrower's financial condition to be indicators of credit quality on its credit products. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the FHLBank had rights to collateral on a member-by-member basis with an estimated value in excess of its outstanding extensions of credit.
 
At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the FHLBank did not have any Advances that were past due, in non-accrual status, or impaired. In addition, there have been no troubled debt restructurings related to credit products of the FHLBank during the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010.
 
The FHLBank has not experienced any credit losses on Advances since it was founded in 1932. Based upon the collateral held as security, its credit extension and collateral policies, management's credit analysis and the repayment history on credit products, the FHLBank did not believe it had incurred any credit losses on credit products as of March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010. Accordingly, the FHLBank has not recorded any allowance for credit losses on Advances.
 
At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, no liability to reflect an allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures was recorded. See Note 19 for additional information on the FHLBank's off-balance sheet credit exposure.
 
Mortgage Loans - Government-guaranteed or Insured
 
The FHLBank invests in government-guaranteed or insured fixed-rate mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties. Government-guaranteed mortgage loans are mortgage loans guaranteed or insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Any losses from such loans are expected to be recovered from the FHA. Any losses from such loans that are not recovered from the FHA would be due to a claim rejection by the FHA, and as such, would be recoverable from the selling PFIs. Therefore, there is no allowance for credit losses on government-guaranteed or insured mortgage loans.
 
Mortgage Loans - Conventional Mortgage Purchase Program
 
The allowance for conventional loans is determined by analyses that include consideration of various data observations such as past performance, current performance, loan portfolio characteristics, collateral-related characteristics, industry data, and prevailing economic conditions. The measurement of the allowance for credit losses may consist of: (1) reviewing specifically identified loans for impairment; (2) collectively evaluating homogeneous pools of residential mortgage loans; and/or (3) estimating credit losses in the remaining portfolio.
 
The FHLBank's allowance for credit losses factors in the credit enhancements associated with conventional mortgage loans under the Mortgage Purchase Program. Specifically, the determination of the allowance generally factors in primary mortgage insurance (PMI), supplemental mortgage insurance (SMI) and the Lender Risk Account (LRA). Any incurred losses that would be recovered from the credit enhancements are not reserved as part of the FHLBank's allowance for credit losses.
 
Collectively Evaluated Mortgage Loans. The credit risk analysis of conventional loans evaluated collectively for impairment considers loan pool specific attribute data, applies estimated loss severities, and incorporates the credit enhancements of the Mortgage Purchase Program. The credit risk analysis of all conventional mortgage loans is performed at the individual Master Commitment Contract level to properly determine the credit enhancements available to recover losses on loans under each individual Master Commitment Contract. The Master Commitment Contract is an agreement with a member in which the member agrees to make every attempt to sell a specific dollar amount of loans to the FHLBank over a nine-month period.

18 


Migration analysis is a methodology for determining, through the FHLBank's experience over a historical period, the rate of default on pools of similar loans. The FHLBank applies migration analysis to loans based on categories such as current, 30, 60, and 90 days past due. The FHLBank then estimates how many loans in these categories may migrate to a realized loss position and applies a loss severity to estimate losses incurred at the Statement of Condition date.
 
Individually Evaluated Mortgage Loans. Although the FHLBank did not evaluate any loans individually at March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010, certain conventional mortgage loans may be specifically identified for purposes of calculating the allowance for credit losses.
 
Estimating Credit Loss in the Remaining Portfolio. The FHLBank also assesses a factor for the margin of imprecision to the estimation of loan losses for the homogeneous population. The margin for imprecision is a factor in the allowance for credit losses that recognizes the imprecise nature of the measurement process and is included as part of the mortgage loan allowance for credit loss. This amount represents a subjective management judgment, based on facts and circumstances that exist as of the reporting date, that is unallocated to any specific measurable economic or credit event and is intended to cover other inherent losses that may not otherwise be captured in the methodology described within.
 
Non-accrual Loans. The FHLBank places a conventional mortgage loan on non-accrual status if it is determined that either (1) the collection of interest or principal is doubtful, or (2) interest or principal is past due for 90 days or more, except when the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection (e.g., through credit enhancements and with monthly settlements on a schedule/scheduled basis). For those mortgage loans placed on non-accrual status, accrued but uncollected interest is reversed against interest income. The FHLBank records cash payments received on non-accrual loans first as interest income and then as a reduction of principal as specified in the contractual agreement, unless the collection of the remaining principal amount due is considered doubtful. If the collection of the remaining principal amount due is considered doubtful, cash payments received are applied first solely to principal until the remaining principal amount due is expected to be collected and then as a recovery of any charge-off, if applicable, followed by recording interest income. A loan on non-accrual status may be restored to accrual when (1) none of its contractual principal and interest is due and unpaid, and the FHLBank expects repayment of the remaining contractual interest and principal, or (2) it otherwise becomes well secured and in the process of collection.
 
Rollforward of Allowance for Credit Losses on Mortgage Loans. The following table presents a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses on conventional mortgage loans for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as well as the recorded investment in mortgage loans by impairment methodology at March 31, 2011. The recorded investment in a loan is the unpaid principal balance of the loan adjusted for accrued interest, unamortized premiums or discounts and direct write-downs. The recorded investment is not net of any allowance.

The FHLBank did not have any loans classified as real estate owned at March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010 because the servicers pay off loans during foreclosure and subsequently submit any claims to the FHLBank. Additionally, the FHLBank did not have any non-accrual loans at March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010 based on its analysis of loans being well secured and in the process of collection as a result of the credit enhancements and schedule/scheduled settlement.
 
Credit Enhancements. The FHLBank's allowance for credit losses considers the credit enhancements associated with conventional mortgage loans. Any incurred losses that would be recovered from the credit enhancements are not reserved as part of the FHLBank's allowance for credit losses.
 
The conventional mortgage loans under the Mortgage Purchase Program are supported by some combination of primary mortgage insurance, supplemental mortgage insurance and the LRA in addition to the associated property as collateral. The LRA is funded by the FHLBank as a portion of the purchase proceeds to cover expected losses. Excess funds over required balances are distributed to the member in accordance with a step-down schedule that is established at the time of a Master Commitment Contract, subject to performance of the related loan pool.

Note 10 - Derivatives 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. The goal of the FHLBank's interest-rate risk management strategies is not to eliminate interest-rate risk, but to manage it within appropriate limits. To mitigate the risk of loss, the FHLBank has established policies and procedures, which include guidelines on the amount of exposure to interest rate changes it is willing to accept. In addition, the FHLBank monitors the risk to its interest income, net interest margin and average maturity of interest-earning assets and funding sources.
 
Consistent with Finance Agency Regulations, the FHLBank enters into derivatives to manage the interest rate risk exposures inherent in otherwise unhedged assets and funding positions, to achieve the FHLBank's risk management objectives and to act as an intermediary between its members and counterparties. The use of derivatives is an integral part of the FHLBank's financial management strategy. However, Finance Agency Regulations and the FHLBank's financial management policy prohibit trading in or the speculative use of derivative instruments and limit credit risk arising from them.
 
The most common ways in which the FHLBank uses derivatives are to:
 
reduce the interest rate sensitivity and repricing gaps of assets and liabilities;
 
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 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 derivatives is the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).
 

21 


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 FHLBank's 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.
 
Types of Hedged Items
 
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 hedge's 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. The types of assets and liabilities currently hedged with derivatives are:
 
Consolidated Obligations
Advances
Firm Commitments
 
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. The FHLBank requires collateral agreements on all derivatives that establish collateral delivery thresholds. Based on credit analyses and collateral requirements at March 31, 2011, the management of the FHLBank does not anticipate any credit losses on its derivative agreements. See Note 18 for discussion regarding the FHLBank's 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.
 
Table 10.1 presents credit risk exposure on derivative instruments, excluding circumstances where a counterparty's pledged collateral to the FHLBank exceeds the FHLBank's net position.

Certain of the FHLBank's interest rate swap contracts contain provisions that require the FHLBank to post additional collateral with its counterparties if there is deterioration in the FHLBank's credit ratings. The aggregate fair value of all interest rate swaps with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position at March 31, 2011 was $580,714,000, for which the FHLBank had posted collateral of $384,386,000 in the normal course of business, resulting in a net balance of $196,328,000. If one of the FHLBank's 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 $117,762,000 of collateral (at fair value) to its derivatives counterparties at March 31, 2011. None of the FHLBank's credit ratings were lowered during the previous 12 months. However, on April 20, 2011, Standard & Poor's Rating Services revised its outlooks on the debt issues of the FHLBank System from stable to negative while affirming its respective debt issue ratings. Standard & Poor's also revised its outlook from stable to negative for the FHLBank while affirming the FHLBank's triple-A long-term counterparty credit rating. These ratings actions reflect Standard & Poor's revision of the outlook on the long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States of America to negative from stable. In the application of Standard & Poor's Government Related Entities criteria, the ratings of the FHLBank System and the FHLBank are constrained by the long-term sovereign rating of the United States of America.

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. 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.
