FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF TOPEKA

Notes to Financial Statements - Unaudited

June 30, 2017

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying interim financial statements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (FHLBank or FHLBank Topeka) are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instruction provided by Article 10, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The financial statements contain all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the FHLBank’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.

The FHLBank’s significant accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. The interim financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the FHLBank’s audited financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the FHLBank’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 9, 2017 (annual report on Form 10-K). The notes to the interim financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the annual report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements under GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements in determining the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and estimated fair values and in determining the disclosure of any contingent assets or liabilities. Estimates and assumptions by management also affect the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. The most significant of these estimates include the fair value of trading and available-for-sale securities, the fair value of derivatives and the allowance for credit losses. Many of the estimates and assumptions, including those used in financial models, are based on financial market conditions as of the date of the financial statements. Because of the volatility of the financial markets, as well as other factors that affect management estimates, actual results may vary from these estimates.

Derivatives: All derivatives are recognized on the Statements of Condition at their fair values (including net accrued interest receivable or payable on the derivatives) and are reported as either derivative assets or derivative liabilities, net of cash collateral, including initial and variation margin, and accrued interest received or pledged by clearing agents and/or counterparties. The fair values of derivatives are netted by clearing agent or counterparty when the netting requirements have been met. If these netted amounts are positive, they are classified as an asset and, if negative, they are classified as a liability. Cash flows associated with derivatives are reflected as cash flows from operating activities in the Statements of Cash Flows unless the derivative meets the criteria to be a financing derivative.

The FHLBank utilizes two Derivative Clearing Organizations (Clearinghouses) for all cleared derivative transactions, LCH.Clearnet LLC and CME Clearing. Effective January 3, 2017, CME Clearing made certain amendments to its rulebook changing the legal characterization of variation margin payments to be daily settlement payments rather than collateral. Variation margin payments related to LCH.Clearnet LLC contracts continue to be characterized as cash collateral. At both Clearinghouses, initial margin is considered cash collateral.

NOTE 2 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS AND CHANGES IN AND ADOPTIONS OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. In March 2017, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an amendment to shorten the amortization period of any premium on callable debt securities to the first call date instead of over the contractual life of the instrument. The amendment does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in the amortization of premiums and the consideration of how the potential of a security being called is factored into current impairment assessments. The amendment also intends to more closely align the amortization of premiums and discounts to the expectations incorporated into the market pricing of the instrument. The amendment will be effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, which is January 1, 2019 for the FHLBank, and early adoption is permitted. This guidance should be applied using a modified retrospective method through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. In March 2017, FASB issued an amendment to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The amendment requires that the employer disaggregate the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost and allow only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. The amendment is intended to provide transparency, consistency, and usefulness to users of financial statements. The amendment will be effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, which is January 1, 2018 for the FHLBank, and early adoption is permitted. This guidance should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. In August 2016, FASB issued amendments to clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is intended to reduce existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for the FHLBank for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. This guidance should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. This guidance is not expected to have an impact on the FHLBank's statement of cash flows.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. In June 2016, FASB issued amended guidance for the accounting of credit losses on financial instruments. The amendments require entities to measure expected credit losses based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. Additionally, under the new guidance, a financial asset, or a group of financial assets, measured at amortized cost basis is required to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected.

The guidance also requires:


•	The statement of income to reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period;


•	The entities to determine the allowance for credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination that are measured at amortized cost basis in a similar manner to other financial assets measured at amortized cost basis. The initial allowance for credit losses is required to be added to the purchase price;


•	Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The amendments limit the allowance for credit losses to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost; and


•	Public entities to further disaggregate the current disclosure of credit quality indicators in relation to the amortized cost of financing receivables by the year of origination (i.e., vintage).

The guidance is effective for the FHLBank for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2020. Early application is permitted as of the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The guidance should be applied using a modified-retrospective approach, through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. In addition, entities are required to use a prospective transition approach for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) charge had been recognized before the effective date. The FHLBank has formed an internal working group that has begun its implementation efforts by identifying key interpretive issues and potential impacts to processes and systems that will eventually determine the magnitude of the impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. In March 2016, FASB issued amendments to resolve current diversity in practice by clarifying the steps required when assessing whether the economic characteristics and risks of call (put) options are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of their debt hosts, which is one of the criteria for bifurcating an embedded derivative. The amendments apply to all entities that are issuers of or investors in debt instruments (or hybrid financial instruments that are determined to have a debt host) with embedded call (put) options. The amendments became effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Leases. In February 2016, FASB issued amendments to lease accounting guidance. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases in the statement of financial condition, which effectively removes a source of off-balance sheet financing for operating leases. A distinction remains between finance leases and operating leases, but the assets and liabilities arising from operating leases are now also required to be recognized in the statement of financial condition. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, which is January 1, 2019 for the FHLBank. The FHLBank has a limited number of lease agreements and is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact, if any, on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. In January 2016, FASB issued amendments to improve the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments through changes to existing GAAP. The provisions impacting the FHLBank include the elimination of the requirement to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments carried at amortized cost, the requirement to use the notion of exit price when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, and the separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables) on the statement of financial condition or in the notes to financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, which is January 1, 2018 for the FHLBank. The FHLBank has concluded that this guidance will impact disclosures related to the fair value of financial instruments. However, this guidance is not expected to have an impact on the FHLBank's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, FASB issued guidance to introduce a new revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. In July 2015, FASB voted to defer the effective date of the new standard by one year. In addition, in March 2016, FASB issued amendments to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, in particular, relating to how an entity should determine whether the entity is a principal or an agent for each specified good or service promised to the customer and the nature of each specified good or service. The amendments do not change the core principle in the new revenue standard. The standard is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, which is January 1, 2018 for the FHLBank. Because the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities that are accounted for under other GAAP, the adoption of this guidance has limited potential for impact to the FHLBank. The FHLBank has completed an analysis of its sources of revenue that fall within the scope of the guidance and does not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The amortized cost, carrying value and fair values of held-to-maturity securities by contractual maturity as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are shown in Table 3.11 (in thousands). Expected maturities of certain securities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment fees.

¹	For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, securities previously impaired represent all securities that were impaired prior to April 1, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, securities previously impaired represent all securities that were impaired prior to January 1, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The FHLBank amortizes the credit component based on estimated cash flows prospectively up to the amount of expected principal to be recovered. The discounted cash flows will move from the discounted loss value to the ultimate principal to be written off at the projected date of loss. If the expected cash flows improve, the amount of expected loss decreases which causes a corresponding decrease in the calculated amortization. Based on the level of improvement in the cash flows, the amortization could become a positive adjustment to income.

As of June 30, 2017, the fair value of a portion of the FHLBank's available-for-sale and held-to-maturity MBS were below the amortized cost of the securities due to interest rate volatility and/or illiquidity. However, the decline in fair value of these securities is considered temporary as the FHLBank expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis on the remaining securities in unrecognized loss positions and neither intends to sell these 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. For state and local housing agency obligations, the FHLBank determined that all of the gross unrealized losses on these bonds were temporary because the strength of the underlying collateral and credit enhancements was sufficient to protect the FHLBank from losses based on current expectations.

NOTE 4 – ADVANCES

General Terms: The FHLBank offers a wide range of fixed and variable rate advance products with different maturities, interest rates, payment characteristics and optionality. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the FHLBank had advances outstanding at interest rates ranging from 0.66 percent to 7.41 percent and 0.46 percent to 7.41 percent, respectively. Table 4.1 presents advances summarized by year of contractual maturity as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (dollar amounts in thousands):

The FHLBank’s advances outstanding include advances that contain call options that may be exercised with or without prepayment fees at the borrower’s discretion on specific dates (call dates) before the stated advance maturities (callable advances). In exchange for receiving the right to call the advance on a predetermined call schedule, the borrower may pay a higher fixed rate for the advance relative to an equivalent maturity, non-callable, fixed rate advance. The borrower normally exercises its call options on these advances when interest rates decline (fixed rate advances) or spreads change (adjustable rate advances). The FHLBank’s advances as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 include callable advances totaling $6,998,828,000 and $6,336,280,000, respectively. Of these callable advances, there were $6,952,202,000 and $6,260,837,000 of variable rate advances as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Convertible advances allow the FHLBank to convert an advance from one interest payment term structure to another. When issuing convertible advances, the FHLBank purchases put options from a member that allow the FHLBank to convert the fixed rate advance to a variable rate advance at the current market rate or another structure after an agreed-upon lockout period. A convertible advance carries a lower interest rate than a comparable-maturity fixed rate advance without the conversion feature. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the FHLBank had convertible advances outstanding totaling $977,342,000 and $1,147,392,000, respectively.

NOTE 5 – MORTGAGE LOANS

The MPF Program involves the FHLBank investing in mortgage loans, which have been funded by the FHLBank through or purchased from its participating members. These mortgage loans are government-insured or guaranteed loans (by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Rural Housing Service of the Department of Agriculture (RHS) and/or the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)) and conventional residential loans credit-enhanced by participating financial institutions (PFIs). Depending upon a member’s product selection, the servicing rights can be retained or sold by the participating member. The FHLBank does not buy or own any mortgage servicing rights.

See Note 6 for information related to the FHLBank’s credit risk on mortgage loans and allowance for credit losses.

NOTE 6 – ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The FHLBank has established an allowance methodology for each of its portfolio segments: credit products (advances, letters of credit and other extensions of credit to borrowers); government mortgage loans held for portfolio; conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio; the direct financing lease receivable; term Federal funds sold; and term securities purchased under agreements to resell. Based on management's analyses of each portfolio segment, the FHLBank has only established an allowance for credit losses on its conventional mortgage loans held for portfolio.

Roll-forward of Allowance for Credit Losses: Table 6.1 presents a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as well as the method used to evaluate impairment relating to all portfolio segments regardless of whether or not an estimated credit loss has been recorded as of June 30, 2017 (in thousands). The recorded investment in a financing receivable is the UPB, adjusted for accrued interest, net deferred loan fees or costs, unamortized premiums or discounts, fair value hedging adjustments and direct write-downs. The recorded investment is not net of any valuation allowance.
