NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

(dollars in thousands)
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary have been included. All such adjustments consist of normal recurring accruals. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. These interim financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston's audited financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 19, 2021 (the 2020 Annual Report). Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise, all references in this discussion to “the Bank,” "we," "us," "our," or similar references mean the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.

Depreciation and (accretion)/amortization(21,913)(457)
Reduction of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. On March 12, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released temporary optional guidance that provides transition reliefprovision for reference rate reform. The guidance contains optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference London inter-bank offered rate (LIBOR) or a reference rate that is expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform if certain criteria are met.credit losses

This standard was effective upon issuance and the provisions generally can be applied prospectively as of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In the third quarter of 2020, we adopted the provision of this guidance which allows a one-time election to sell, transfer, or both sell and transfer debt securities classified as held-to-maturity. Refer to the 2020 Annual Report for additional information related to these sales and transfers. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we retrospectively elected to adopt the provision of Reference Rate Reform guidance issued by the FASB specific to the modification of interest rates used for the discounting of derivative instruments. This did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

We are in the process of evaluating the remaining provisions of this guidance, and the anticipated effects on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows have not yet been determined.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Note 3 — Investments

Interest-Bearing Deposits, Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell, and Federal Funds Sold

We invest in interest-bearing
Net change in:
Interest-bearing deposits securities purchased under agreements to resell, and federal funds sold to provide short-term liquidity. These investments are generally transacted with counterparties that have received, or whose guarantors have received, a credit rating of triple-B or greater (investment grade) by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or the equivalent. At June 30, 2021, NaN of these investments were made to counterparties or, if applicable, guaranteed by entities rated below triple-B.

(1,228,327)
99,288 
Securities purchased under agreements to resell are short-term and structured such that they are evaluated daily to determine if the market value of the underlying securities decreases below the market value required as collateral (i.e. subject to collateral maintenance provisions). If so, the counterparty must place an amount of additional securities as collateral or remit an equivalent amount of cash sufficient to comply with collateral maintenance provisions, generally by the next business day. Based upon the collateral held as security and collateral maintenance provisions with our counterparties, we determined that 0 allowance for credit losses was needed for our securities purchased under agreements to resell at June 30, 2021. The carrying

Mortgage loans to banks that are generally transacted on an overnight basis. FHFA regulations include a limit on the amount of unsecured credit we may extend to a counterparty. At June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, all investments in interest-bearing demand deposits and federal funds sold were repaid according to the contractual terms. NaN allowanceheld for credit losses was recorded for these assets at June 30, 2021. Carrying values of interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold exclude accrued interest receivable of $9 thousand and $4 thousand, respectively, at June 30, 2021, and $31 thousand and $5 thousand, respectively, at December 31, 2020.
portfolio:

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (and related fiscal stimulus and monetary policies) on the global economy and financial markets could put pressure on our bank counterparties’ profitability, asset quality, and in some cases, capitalization. We continually monitor the creditworthiness of our counterparties and may reduce or suspend individual credit lines as conditions warrant.

In the second quarter of 2022 we identified an accounting error related to changes in fair value of certain available-for-sale securities that are in fair-value hedge relationships. As a result of this error, cumulatively from the second quarter of 2019 through the first quarter of 2022, net income and retained earnings were understated by $6.2 million. We determined the error did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows for the impacted periods, and a correcting adjustment was recorded in interest income from available-for-sale securities in the second quarter of 2022.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. These interim financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston's audited financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 18, 2022 (the 2021 Annual Report). Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise, all references in this discussion to “the Bank,” "we," "us," "our," or similar references mean the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.

Note 2 — Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Guidance

Effective Beginning in 2020

Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. On March 12, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released temporary optional guidance that provides transition relief for reference rate reform. The guidance contains optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or a reference rate that is expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. This standard was effective upon issuance and the provisions generally can be applied prospectively as of January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2022.

In addition to the optional expedients for contract modifications and hedging relationships, this update provides a one-time election to sell, transfer, or both sell and transfer debt securities classified as held-to-maturity that reference a rate affected by reference rate reform and that were classified as held-to-maturity before January 1, 2020. In the third quarter of 2020, we adopted the provision of this guidance which allows a one-time election to sell, transfer, or both sell and transfer debt securities classified as held-to-maturity.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, we retrospectively elected to adopt the provision of this guidance specific to the modification of interest rates used for the discounting of derivative instruments. This did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

We are in the process of evaluating the remaining provisions of this guidance, and the anticipated effects on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows have not yet been determined.

Note 3 — Investments

Interest-Bearing Deposits, Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell, and Federal Funds Sold

We invest in interest-bearing deposits, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and federal funds sold to provide short-term liquidity. These investments are generally transacted with counterparties that have received, or whose guarantors have received, a credit rating of triple-B or greater (investment grade) by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or the equivalent. At June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, none of these investments were made to counterparties or, if applicable, guaranteed by entities rated below single-A.

Table of Contents

Securities purchased under agreements to resell are short-term and are structured such that they are evaluated daily to determine if the market value of the underlying securities decreases below the market value required as collateral (i.e. subject to collateral maintenance provisions). If so, the counterparty must place an amount of additional securities as collateral or remit an equivalent amount of cash sufficient to comply with collateral maintenance provisions, generally by the next business day. Based upon the collateral held as security and collateral maintenance provisions with our counterparties, we determined that no allowance for credit losses was needed for our securities purchased under agreements to resell at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

Federal funds sold are unsecured loans that are transacted on an overnight term or short-term basis. FHFA regulations include a limit on the amount of unsecured credit we may extend to a counterparty. All investments in interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold outstanding as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, have been repaid according to the contractual terms. No allowance for credit losses was recorded for these assets at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

Debt Securities

We invest in debt securities, which are classified as either trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity. We are prohibited by FHFA regulations from investing in certain higher-risk securities, such as equity securities and debt instruments that are not investment quality, other than certain investments targeted at low-income persons or communities, but we are not required to divest instruments that experience credit deterioration after their purchase.

(1)    We adopted new accounting guidance for the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments on January 1, 2020. See Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Financial Statements — Note 3 — Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Guidance in the 2020 Annual Report for information on the adoption of Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. Upon adoption of this new accounting guidance, we recorded through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings an increase in the allowance for credit losses associated with held-to-maturity private-label MBS totaling $5.3 million.

Our available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are principally debt securities of GSE andor U.S. government-owned corporations, supranational institutions, and state or local housing finance agency obligations, and MBS issued by Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) that are backed by single-family or multifamily mortgage loans. We only purchase investment-grade securities. At June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, all available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities based on amortized cost, were rated single-A, or above, by an NRSRO, based on the lowest long-term credit rating for each security.

We evaluate our individual available-for-sale securities for impairment by comparing the security’s fair value to its amortized cost. Impairment may exist when the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost (i.e. in an unrealized loss position). At June 30, 2021,2022, certain available-for-sale securities were in an unrealized loss position. These losses are considered temporary as we expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis on these available-for-sale investment securities and we neither intend to sell these securities nor do we consider it more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of each security's remaining amortized cost basis. Further, we have not experienced any material payment defaults on the instruments. In addition, substantially allBased on our assessment of these securities carry an implicitthe creditworthiness of the issuers or explicit government guarantee. As a result, 0guarantors, no allowance for credit losses was recorded on available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

We evaluate our held-to-maturity securities for impairment on a collective or pooled basis unless an individual assessment is deemed necessary because the securities do not possess similar risk characteristics. AsWe have not experienced and do not anticipate any material payment defaults on these securities. Based on our assessment of June 30, 2021, we had 0t established anthe creditworthiness of the issuers or guarantors, no allowance for credit losses was recorded on any of our held-to-maturity securities because the securities: (1) were all highly-rated and/or had short remaining terms to maturity, (2) had not experienced, nor do we expect to experience, any payment default on the instruments,at June 30, 2022, and (3) in the case of U.S. or GSE obligations, carry an implicit or explicit government guarantee such that we consider the risk of nonpayment to be zero.December 31, 2021.

(1)    At June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020,2021, we had certain advances with embedded features that met the requirements to be separated from the host contract and designated as stand-alone derivatives.

We offer advances to members and eligible nonmembers that provide the borrower the right, based upon predetermined option exercise dates, to repay the advance prior to maturity without incurring prepayment or termination fees (callable advances). We also offer certain floating-rate advances that may be contractually prepaid by the borrower on a floating-rate reset date without incurring prepayment or termination fees. Other advances may only be prepaid by paying a fee (prepayment fee) that makes us financially indifferent to the prepayment of the advance.

Credit Risk Exposure and Security Terms. Our advances are primarily made to member financial institutions, including commercial banks, insurance companies, savings institutions, and credit unions. We manage our credit exposure to secured member credit products through an integrated approach that generally includes establishing a credit limit for each borrower. This approach includes an ongoing review of each borrower's financial condition, and collateral and lending policies that are intended to limit risk of loss while balancing borrowers' needs for a reliable source of funding. For additional information on credit risk exposure and security terms see Part II — Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 6 — Advances in the 20202021 Annual Report.

Using a risk-based approach and taking into consideration each borrower's financial strength, we consider the types and level of collateral to be the primary indicator of credit quality on our credit products. At June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020,2021, we had rights to collateral, on a borrower-by-borrower basis, with an estimated value in excess of our outstanding extensions of credit.

We continue to evaluate and make changes to our collateral guidelines based on market conditions. At June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020, NaN2021, none of our advances were past due, on non accrualnonaccrual status, or considered impaired. In addition, there were 0no troubled debt restructurings related to advances during the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

Based upon the collateral held as security, our credit extension and collateral policies, management's credit analysis, and the repayment history on advances, we have 0tnot recorded any allowance for credit losses on our advances at June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020.2021.

Note 5 — Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio

We invest in mortgage loans through the Mortgage Partnership Finance® (MPF®) program. These mortgage loans are either guaranteed or insured by federal agencies, as is the case with government mortgage loans, or are credit-enhanced, directly or indirectly, by the related entity that sold the loan (a participating financial institution), as is the case with conventional mortgage loans. All such investments are held for portfolio.

Credit-Enhancements. Our allowance for credit losses factors in the credit-enhancements associated with conventional mortgage loans under the MPF program. These credit-enhancements apply after the homeowner's equity is exhausted and can include primary and/or supplemental mortgage insurance or other kinds of credit-enhancement. The credit risk analysis of our conventional loans is performed at the individual master commitment level to determine the credit-enhancements available to recover losses on loans under each individual master commitment. For additional information on credit enhancements see Part II — Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 7 — Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio — Credit-Enhancements in the 20202021 Annual Report.

Relief to Borrowers During the COVID-19 Pandemic. We have elected to apply Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) to our loan modifications that qualify under the CARES Act. As a result, we have elected to suspend troubled debt restructuring accounting for eligible modifications under Section 4013 of the CARES Act. As of June 30, 2021, we had $18.6 million of these modifications outstanding. See Part II — Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 2020 Annual Report for additional information.

Servicers of our mortgage loans may grant a forbearance period to borrowers who have requested forbearance based on COVID-19 related difficulties regardless of the status of the loan at the time of the request. We continue to apply our accounting policy for past due loans and charge-offs to loans during the forbearance period unless there is a legal modification made to update the terms of the mortgage loan contract. The accrual status for loans under forbearance will be driven by the past due status of the loan based on its contractual terms.

As of June 30, 2021, we held approximately $36.1 million in par value of conventional mortgage loans that were in a forbearance plan as a result of COVID-19. Of these loans, $4.2 million had a current payment status, $3.2 million were 30 to 59 days past due, $3.2 million were 60 to 89 days past due, and $25.5 million were greater than 90 days past due and in nonaccrual

Allowance for Credit Losses for Mortgage Loans.

Conventional Mortgage Loans. Using Financial Instruments - Credit Losses accounting guidance, conventionalConventional loans are evaluated collectively when similar risk characteristics exist. Conventional loans that do not share risk characteristics with other poolsloans are evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis. We determine our allowance for credit losses on conventional loans through analyses that include consideration of various loan portfolio and collateral-related characteristics, such as past performance, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of expected economic conditions. We use a discounted cash flow model to project our expected losses. We use a third-party model to project cash flows to estimate the expected credit losses over the life of the loans. The model relies on a number of inputs, such as both current and forecasted property values and interest rates as well as historical borrower behavior. We incorporate associated credit enhancements and expected recoveries, if any, to determine our estimate of expected credit losses.

Certain conventional loans may be evaluated for credit losses by using the practical expedient for collateral dependent assets. A mortgage loan is considered collateral dependent ifwhen the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided bycome substantially from the sale of the underlying property, that is, if it is considered likely that the borrower will default.collateral. We estimate the fair value of this collateral by using a third-party property valuation model. The expected credit loss of a collateral dependent mortgage loan is equal to the difference between the amortized cost of the loan and the estimated fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling costs. We will reserve for these estimated losses or record a direct charge-off of the loan balance if certain triggering criteria are met.

Table 5.5 presents a roll forward of the allowance for credit losses on conventional mortgage loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022, and 2020.2021.

_________________________
(1)    These amounts exclude government mortgage loans because we make no allowance for credit losses based on our investments in government mortgage loans, as discussed below under — Government Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio.

Government Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio. We invest in government mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties. Government mortgage loans are mortgage loans insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (the FHA), the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (the VA), the Rural Housing Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (RHS), or by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The servicer provides and maintains insurance or a guarantee from the applicable government agency. The servicer is responsible for compliance with all government agency requirements and for obtaining the benefit of the applicable insurance or guaranty with respect to defaulted government-guaranteed mortgage loans. Any losses incurred on these loans that are not recovered from the insurer or guarantor are absorbed by the related servicer. Therefore, we only have credit risk for these loans if the servicer fails to pay for losses not covered by insurance or guarantees.guarantees, but in such instances, we have recourse against the servicer for such failure. Due to government guarantees or insurance on our

government loans, there is 0no allowance for credit losses for the government mortgage loan portfolio as of June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020.2021. Additionally, government mortgage loans other than government mortgage loans that have been granted temporary forbearance, are not placed on nonaccrual status due to the government guarantee or insurance on these loans and the contractual obligation of the loan servicers to repurchase their related loans when certain criteria are met.

(1)    Mortgage-delivery commitments are classified as derivatives with changes in fair value recorded in other income.
(2)    Amounts represent the effect of master-netting agreements intended to allow us to settle positive and negative positions with the same counterparty. Cash collateral posted, including accrued interest, posted was $415.5 million$1.4 billion and $215.8$513.2 million at June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. The change in cash collateral posted is included in the net change in interest-bearing deposits in the statement of cash flows. There was 0 cash collateral and related accrued interest received at June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.

Changes in fair value of the derivative hedging instrument and the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk for designated fair-value hedges are recorded in net interest income in the same line as the earnings effect of the hedged item. For designated cash-flow hedges, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument (assuming it is included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness) is reported in other comprehensive income until the hedged transaction affects earnings. At that time, this amount is reclassified from other comprehensive income and recorded in net interest income in the same line as the earnings effect of the hedged item.

Tables 6.2 presents the net gains (losses) on qualifying fair-value hedging relationships. Gains (losses) on derivatives include unrealized changes in fair value as well as net interest settlements.

For the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021,2022 and 2020,2021, there were 0no reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash-flow hedges because the original forecasted transactions were not expected to occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within a two-month period thereafter. As of June 30, 2021,2022, the maximum length of time over which we are hedging our exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is sixnine years.

As of June 30, 2021,2022, the amount of deferred net losses on derivatives accumulated in other comprehensive incomeloss related to cash flow hedges expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months is $5.8$4.9 million.

Managing Credit Risk on Derivatives.
We enter into derivatives that we clear (cleared derivatives) with a derivatives clearing organization (DCO), our counterparty for such derivatives. We also enter into derivatives that are not cleared (uncleared derivatives) under master-netting agreements. Currently derivatives that contain any optionality are not eligible for clearing. Accordingly, such derivatives, including the derivatives used to hedge issuance of callable CO bonds, are executed with our uncleared derivatives counterparties. Certain of our uncleared derivatives master-netting agreements contain provisions that require us to post additional collateral with our uncleared derivatives counterparties if our credit ratings are lowered. Under the terms that govern such agreements, if our credit rating is lowered by Moody's or S&P to a certain level, we are required to deliver additional collateral on uncleared derivatives. In the event of a split between such credit ratings, the lower rating governs. The aggregate fair value of all uncleared derivatives with these provisions that were in a net-liability position (before cash collateral and related accrued interest) at June 30, 2021,2022, was $90.9$941.5 million for which we had delivered collateral with a post-haircut value of $93.7 million$1.0 billion in accordance with the terms of the master-netting agreements. Securities collateral is subject to valuation haircuts in accordance with the terms of the master-netting arrangements. Table 6.66.7 sets forth the post-haircut value of incremental collateral that certain uncleared derivatives counterparties could have required us to deliver based on incremental credit rating downgrades at June 30, 2021.2022.

(1)    Ratings are expressed in this table according to S&P's conventions but include the equivalent of such rating by Moody's. If there is a split rating, the lower rating is used.

For cleared derivatives, the DCO is our counterparty. The DCO notifies the clearing member of the required initial and variation margin and our agent (clearing member) in turn notifies us. We utilize one of two DCOs for alleach cleared derivative transactions, Chicago Mercantile Exchangetransaction, CME Inc. (CME Inc.) andor LCH Limited (LCH Ltd.). Based upon their rulebooks, we characterize variation margin payments as daily settlement payments, rather than as collateral. At both DCOs, posted initial margin is considered collateral. We post initial margin and exchange variation margin through a clearing member of the DCO which clears our trades, acts as our agent to the DCO and which guarantees our performance to the DCO, subject to the terms of relevant agreements. These arrangements expose us to credit risk in the event that one of our clearing members or one of the DCOs fails to meet its obligations. The use of cleared derivatives is intended to mitigate credit risk exposure because the DCO, which is fully secured at all times through margin received from its clearing members, is substituted for the credit risk exposure of individual counterparties in uncleared derivatives, and collateral is posted at least once daily for changes in the fair value of cleared derivatives through a clearing member.

Table of Contents
For cleared derivatives, the DCO determines initial margin requirements. We clear our trades viaOur clearing members, of the DCOs. These clearing members who act as our agent to the DCOswhich are CFTC-registered futures commission merchants. Our clearing membersmerchants, may require us to post margin in excess of DCO requirements based on our credit or other considerations, including, but not limited to, credit rating downgrades. We were not required to post any such excess margin by our clearing members based on credit or any other considerations at June 30, 2021.2022.

Offsetting of Certain Derivatives. We present derivatives, any related cash collateral received or pledged, and associated accrued interest, on a net basis by counterparty.

We have analyzed the rights, rules, and regulations governing our cleared and uncleared derivatives and determined that those rights, rules, and regulations should result in a net claim with each of our counterparties (which, in the context of cleared derivatives is through each of our clearing members with the related DCO) upon an event of default of our counterparty (solely in the case of uncleared derivatives) or the bankruptcy, insolvency or a similar proceeding involving our counterparty (and/or one of our clearing members, in the case of cleared derivatives). For this purpose, "net claim" generally means a single net amount reflecting the aggregation of all amounts owed by us to the relevant counterparty and payable to us from the relevant counterparty.

Table 6.76.8 presents separately the fair value of derivatives that are subject to netting due to a legal right of offset based on the

terms of our master netting arrangements or similar agreements as of June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020,2021, and the fair value of derivatives that are not subject to such netting. Derivatives subject to netting include any related cash collateral received from or pledged to counterparties.

Note 10 — Capital

Table of Contents

We are subject to capital requirements under our capital plan, the FHLBank Act, and FHFA regulations and guidance:

1.    Risk-based capital. We are required to maintain at all times permanent capital, defined aswhich is our Class B stock, including Class B stock classified as mandatorily redeemable capital stock, and retained earnings, in an amount at least equal to the sum of our credit-risk capital requirement, market-risk capital requirement, and operations-riskoperational-risk capital requirement, calculated in accordance with FHFA rules and regulations, referred to herein as the risk-based capital requirement. Only permanent capital satisfies the risk-based capital requirement.

2.    Total regulatory capital. We are required to maintain at all times a total capital-to-assets ratio of at least 4 percent. Total regulatory capital is the sum of permanent capital, the amount paid-in for Class A stock, the amount of any general loss allowance if consistent with GAAP and not established for specific assets, and other amounts from sources determined by the FHFA as available to absorb losses. We have never issued Class A stock.

3.    Leverage capital. We are required to maintain at all times a leverage capital-to-assets ratio of at least 5 percent. Leverage capital is calculated by multiplying permanent capital by 1.5 and adding to this product all other components of total capital.

The FHFA has authority to require us to maintain a greater amount of permanent capital than is required as defined by the risk-based capital requirements.

Note 12 — Fair Values

A fair-value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. A description of the application of the fair-value hierarchy, valuation techniques, and significant inputs is disclosed in Part II — Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 1915 — Fair Values in the 20202021 Annual Report. There have been no material changes in the fair-value hierarchy classification of financial assets and liabilities, valuation techniques, or significant inputs during the threesix months ended June 30, 2021.2022.

Table 12.1 presents the carrying value, fair value, and fair value hierarchy of our financial assets and liabilities at June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020.2021. We record trading securities, available-for-sale securities, derivative assets, derivative liabilities, and certain other assets at fair value on a recurring basis and certain mortgage loans, and certain other assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis. We record all other financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost. Refer to Table 12.2 for further details about the financial assets and liabilities held at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis.

(1)These amounts represent the effect of master-netting agreements intended to allow us to settle positive and negative positions and also cash collateral and related accrued interest held or placed with the same clearing member and/or counterparty.
(2)    We measure certain held-to-maturity investment securities, mortgage loans held for portfolio and REO at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, that is, they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair-value adjustments only in certain circumstances. The fair values presented are as of the date the fair value adjustment was recorded.

Table 12.3 presents a reconciliation of available-for-sale HFA securities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies

Joint and Several Liability. COs are backed by the financial resources of the FHLBanks. The FHFA has authority to require any FHLBank to repay all or a portion of the principal and interest on COs for which another FHLBank is the primary obligor. No FHLBank has ever been asked or required to repay the principal or interest on any CO on behalf of another FHLBank. We evaluate the financial condition of the other FHLBanks primarily based on known regulatory actions, publicly available financial information, and individual long-term credit-rating action as of each period-end presented. Based on this evaluation, as of June 30, 2021,2022, and through the filing of this report, we do not believe it is likely that we will be required to repay the principal or interest on any CO on behalf of another FHLBank.

We have considered applicable FASB guidance and determined it is not necessary to recognize a liability for the fair value of our joint and several liability for all of the COs. The joint and several obligation is mandated by the FHLBank Act, as implemented by FHFA regulations, and is not the result of an arms-length transaction among the FHLBanks. The FHLBanks have no control over the amount of the guaranty or the determination of how each FHLBank would perform under the joint and several obligation. Because the FHLBanks are subject to the authority of the FHFA as it relates to decisions involving the allocation of the joint and several liability for the FHLBanks' COs, the FHLBanks' joint and several obligation is excluded from the initial recognition and measurement provisions. Accordingly, we have not recognized a liability for our joint and several obligation related to other FHLBanks' COs at June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020.2021. The par amounts of other FHLBanks' outstanding COs for which we are jointly and severally liable totaled $634.9$823.7 billion and $712.5$623.9 billion at June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.

__________________________
(1)    We have determined that it is unnecessary to record any liability for credit losses on these agreements.
(2)    The amount of standby letters of credit outstanding excludes commitments to issue standby letters of credit that expire within one year. At June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020,2021, these amounts totaled $89.6$39.9 million and $37.1$16.1 million, respectively. Also excluded are commitments to issue standby letters of credit that expire after one year totaling $25$125 thousand at December 31, 2020.2021.
(3)    Commitments for unused line-of-credit advances are generally for periods of up to 12 months. Since many of these commitments are not expected to be drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily indicate future liquidity requirements.

Standby Letters of Credit. WeFor a fee, we issue standby letters of credit on behalf of our members to support certain obligations of the members to third-party beneficiaries. These standby letters of credit are generally subject to the same collateralization and borrowing limits that are applicable to advances. Standby letters of credit may be offered to assist members and nonmember housing associates in facilitating residential housing finance, community lending, and asset-liability management, and to provide liquidity. In particular, members often use standby letters of credit as collateral for deposits from state and local government agencies. Standby letters of credit are executed for members for a fee. If we are required to make payment for a beneficiary's draw, our strategy is to take prompt action to recover the funds paid to the third-party beneficiary, including converting the payment amount into a collateralized advance to the primary obligor, withdrawing the payment amount from the primary obligor's demand deposit account with us, or selling collateral pledged by the primary obligor in a commercially reasonable manner to offset the payment amount. Historically, standby letters of credit usually expire without being drawn upon. At June 30, 2021,2022, the terms of these standby letters of credit have original expiration periods of up to 20 years, expiring no later than 2030.2031. Currently, we offer new standby letters of credit with terms typically up to 10 years, while terms greater than 10 years may be available on an exception basis. Unearned fees for the value of the guarantees related to standby letters of credit are recorded in other liabilities and totaled $1.2$1.4 million and $1.3$1.1 million at June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.

Commitments to Invest in Mortgage Loans. Commitments to invest in mortgage loans are generally for periods not to exceed 60 business days. Such commitments are recorded as derivatives at their fair values on the statement of condition.

Pledged Collateral. We have pledged securities as collateral related to derivatives. See Note 6 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities for additional information about our pledged collateral and other credit-risk-related contingent features.

Legal Proceedings. We are subject to various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business from time to time. We would record an accrual for a loss contingency when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability, if any, arising out of these matters will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

39

Table of Contents
ForNet income for the three months ended June 30, 2021, net income2022, was $6.2$41.0 million, compared with net income of $2.8$6.2 million for the same period in 2020.2021. The increase in net income for the quarter was primarily due to a reduction of net unrealized losses on trading securities of $4.2 million, anddriven by an increase of $3.7$26.3 million in net interest income after provision for credit losses, a decrease of $14.3 million in net losses on trading securities and a decline of $1.5 million in losses on early extinguishment of debt. These increases to net income were partially offset by a $7.6 million increase in part, by an increasecontributions to other expense of $3.0 million.the Affordable Housing Program, compared to the same period in 2021.

NetThe $26.3 million increase in net interest income after provision for credit losses during the second quarter of 2022 was due to a $9.9 billion increase in average total earning assets and a significant increase in interest rates due to aggressive monetary policy tightening by the Federal Reserve. The increase in average earning assets was driven primarily by a $5.7 billion increase in average advances balances, as demand for advances returned among depository members to near pre-pandemic levels. Additionally, the increase in net interest income after provision for credit losses was in part attributable to the correction of an error related to changes in fair value of certain available-for-sale securities that are in fair-value hedge relationships. As a result of this error, cumulatively from the second quarter of 2019 through the first quarter of 2022, net interest income after provision for credit losses was understated by $6.2 million. We determined the error did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows for the impacted periods, and a correcting adjustment was recorded in interest income from available-for-sale securities in the second quarter of 2022.

In support of our housing and community investment mission, the Bank made a voluntary contribution of $5.5 million to the Affordable Housing Program in the three months ended June 30, 2021, was $43.1 million, compared with $39.4 million2022. The increase in net income for the same period in 2020. Although average total earning assets declined $18.3 billion to $36.3 billion for the three monthsquarter ended June 30, 2021, from $54.6 billion2022, correspondingly increased the Bank’s statutory contributions to the Affordable Housing Program to a more meaningful level in the opinion of management compared to originally expected amounts. If this trend continues, the Bank expects that additional voluntary contributions to the Affordable Housing Program may be reduced or eliminated for the same periodremainder of the year, but total contributions to AHP are expected to be significantly increased from the amount contributed in 2020,2021. Additional information on this and other targeted affordable housing and community investment programs is provided in the impact was offset as our net interest margin increased 0.17 percent to 0.48 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 0.31 percent for the same period in 2020.Annual Report.

Our retained earnings grew to $1.5$1.6 billion at June 30, 2021,2022, an increase of $17.1$58.8 million from December 31, 20202021, and equal to 4.25equals 2.6 percent of total assets at June 30, 2021.2022. We continue to satisfy all regulatory capital requirements as of June 30, 2021. 2022.

On July 23, 2021,22, 2022, our board of directors declared a cash dividend that was equivalent to an annual yield of 1.523.72 percent, increasing 163 basis points from the prior quarter's dividend. The annual yield of this dividend equals the approximate daily average of SOFR for the second quarter of 20212022 plus 150300 basis points.points, which is increased by 100 basis points from the prior quarter's dividend.

Our overall results of operations are influenced by the economy and financial markets, and, in particular, by members’ demand for advances and our ability to maintain sufficient access to funding at relatively favorable costs. The COVID-19 pandemic, which began to affect businesses andWhile the economy in March 2020 and continues, and the responseeffects of the U.S. governmenthigh inflation and the Federal Reserve through changes inReserve’s aggressive monetary policy and implementation of fiscal stimulus programs, led to interest rates that remain historically low and substantially elevated deposits reportedresponse, combined with weakening economic growth as measured by depository member institutions. Elevated deposit balances at member institutions have resulted in increased liquidity at members and reduced demand for advances and have beengross domestic product, present uncertainties about the primary causefuture of the significant decline in advances balances beginning ineconomy, the second quarter of 2020.

During the first halftwo quarters of 2022, advances balances increased to $30.3 billion at June 30, 2022, an increase of 145.7 percent from $12.3 billion at December 31, 2021.

These developments have impacted our financial condition as of June 30, 2021,2022, and results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021.2022.

Generally, investor demand for high credit quality, fixed-income investments, including COs, continued to be strong relative to other investments. Moreover, a declining supply ofSignificant growth in outstanding COs as a result of lowerto fund advances balancesgrowth throughout the FHLBank System has further increased thenot diminished relative value of COs and improved our relative cost of borrowing.demand for COs. Our flexibility in utilizing various funding tools, in combination with a diverse investor base and our status as a government-sponsored enterprise, have helped provide reliable market access and demand for consolidated obligations throughout fluctuating market environments and regulatory changes affecting dealers of and investors in COs. The Bank has continued to meet all funding needs during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Net Interest Income, Margin, and Spread

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, net interest margin was 0.48 percent, an increase of 17 basis points from the three months ended June 30, 2020, and net interest spread was 0.44 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, an 18-basis-point increase from the same period in 2020. The increase in both net interest spread and net interest margin mainly reflect significant improvement in funding costs relative to the same period in 2020, during which a substantial amount of short-term debt we issued prior to the Federal Reserve’s 150 basis point rate cuts in March 2020 remained outstanding through May 2020, resulting in sharp, temporary margin compression. In addition, net amortization of premium on mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans decreased by $5.1 million, improving out net interest spread and net interest margin. The low interest rate environment triggered refinancing incentives on residential mortgage loans in 2020, resulting in increases of mortgage prepayment activity that resulted in accelerated net premium amortization of our Agency residential MBS as well as our whole mortgage loans. Refinancing activity of mortgage loans remains high but has moderated during the first half of 2021.

Other Income and Expense

Net gains and losses on derivatives and hedging activities for the three months ended June 30, 2021, totaled a net gain of $447 thousand, compared with a net loss of $1.2 million for the same period in 2020. The $447 thousand net gain for the current quarter consisted of a $6.1 million unrealized gain from changes in fair value on economic hedges offset in part by $5.6 million of interest expense on economic hedges. Additionally, unrealized losses on trading securities totaled $14.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to losses of $18.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Together, these realized and unrealized gains and losses provided an economic offset primarily to interest income from trading securities, which

totaled $15.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. See below under — Results of Operations — Economically Hedged Trading Securities for additional information.2022.

Advances Balances

We continue to deliver on our primary mission, supplying liquidity to our members. Advances balances totaled $15.2$30.3 billion at June 30, 2021,2022, compared to $18.8$12.3 billion at December 31, 2020.2021. The decreasesignificant increase in advances was concentrated in both short-variable-rate advances and long-termshort-term fixed-rate advances, and was primarily due to excess liquidityreflecting rising demand for wholesale funding at member institutions.

Net Interest Income, Margin, and Spread

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, net interest margin was 0.60 percent, an increase of 12 basis points from the same period in 2021, and net interest spread was 0.52 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 8 basis points from the same period in 2021. The increases in net interest spread and net interest margin mainly reflect the impacts of increases in advances and investments and a rising rate environment. For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, average balances of advances and investments increased $5.7 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively, compared to the same period in 2021. Additionally, the rising interest rate environment in 2022 has decreased refinancing incentives on residential mortgage loans, resulting in decreases of mortgage prepayment activity that resulted in reduced net premium amortization of our agency residential MBS as well as our whole mortgage loans. Other improvements in net interest income after provision for credit losses are described in Results of Operations — Net Interest Income. Average total earning assets increased $9.9 billion to $46.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $36.3 billion for the same period in 2021.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments

Legislation has been proposed or enacted, and the FHFA the Federal Reserve and others with authority over the economy, our industry, and our business activities have taken action during 20212022 as described in — Legislative and Regulatory Developments. Such developments could affect the way we conduct business andor could impact how we satisfy our mission as well as the value of our membership.

LIBOR Transition Preparations

In July 2017,For details regarding the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which regulates LIBOR, announced its intention to stop persuading or compelling the major banks that sustainBank's transition from LIBOR to submitSOFR, the alternative reference rate quotations after 2021. On March 5, 2021, the FCA further announced that LIBOR will either cease to be provided by any administrator or no longer be representative immediately after December 31, 2021, in the case of 1-week and 2-month U.S. dollar LIBOR and immediately after June 30, 2023, in the case of the remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR settings. Although the FCA does not expect LIBOR to become non-representative before the applicable cessation dates and intends to consult on requiring the administrator of LIBOR to continue publishing LIBOR of certain currencies and tenors on a non-representative, synthetic basis for a period after the applicable cessation date, there is no assurance that LIBOR, of any particular currency or tenor, will continue to be published or be representative through any particular date. There is no assurance that LIBOR will continue to be accepted or used in the markets generally, orrecommended by any issuers, investors, or counterparties at any time, even if LIBOR continues to be available. We recognize that the discontinuance of LIBOR as an interest rate benchmark and the transition to alternative reference rates, including SOFR, present significant risks and challenges that could affect our business. Certain of our advances, investment securities and derivatives are indexed to LIBOR, and we continue to assess legacy contracts across products and monitor risks to determine the effect of LIBOR discontinuance. Under a steering committee comprised of members of senior management and a working group of representatives from departments across the Bank, we have developed and continue to implement a multi-year plan and initiative to transition from LIBOR. We worked with the other FHLBanks and the Office of Finance to transition our floating-rate note issuance from LIBOR. In addition, we offer a SOFR-based advance. We are updating our operational processes and models to support new alternative reference rate activity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter of 20212022 Compared with Second Quarter of 20202021

Net income was $6.2increased to $41.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2.82022, from $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.same period in 2021. The reasons for the increase are discussed under — Executive Summary.

Net interest income after provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2021,2022, was $43.1$69.4 million, compared with $39.4$43.1 million for the same period in 2021. The $26.3 million increase in net interest income after provision for 2020.credit losses was driven by a $5.7 billion increase in the average balance of advances, a $2.4 billion increase in the average balance of securities purchased under agreements to resell, a $1.6 billion increase in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities, an increase of fair value hedge ineffectiveness net gains of $20.6 million, an increase of net accretion of discounts and premiums on mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans of $13.7 million resulting from significant increases in mortgage rates during the second quarter of 2022, and higher returns from investing the Bank’s capital in a higher interest-rate environment. These positive factors were partially offset by a $635.7 million decrease in the average balance of mortgage loans and a $1.9 million decrease in net prepayment fee income. Additionally, certain US Treasury securities, which were acquired prior to the significant interest rate reductions in early 2020, matured during the latter half of 2021, resulting in a reduction of interest income of $6.2 million as these securities were replaced with investments having lower yields. As a result, net interest spread was 0.52 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 8 basis points from the same period in 2021, and net interest margin was 0.60 percent, an increase of 12 basis points from the same period in 2021.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022, Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Net income increased to $68.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $27.0 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in net income was driven by a decrease of $3.7$28.6 million in net losses on trading securities, an increase of $23.8 million in net interest income after provision for credit losses, is attributable to several favorable factors, including: the absence of margin compression on liquidity investments that we experienced during the second quarter of 2020 following the sudden interest-rate cuts by the Federal Open Market Committee in March; a $5.1 million decrease in net amortization of premium on mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans; a $2.7 million reduction in credit loss provision expense; a $1.5 billion increase in the average balance of U.S. Treasury obligations held as investment securities; and a general improvementdecline of $4.5 million in funding costs.losses on early extinguishment of debt. These factorsincreases to net income were partially offset by reductions to net interest income resulting from a $16.5 billion decrease in the average balance of advances, a $922.4 million decrease in the average balance of mortgage loans, an $804.2 million decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities, a $4.9$9.2 million increase in net unrealized losses from fair value hedges, and a $3.3 million decrease in accretion of significant improvement in projected cash flows resulting from sales of previously impaired private-label MBS as all private-label MBS were sold in 2020. In addition, net interest income was negatively affected by lower income from investing our capital, asvoluntary contribution to the average balance of outstanding capital stock declined $707.8 million in the second quarter of 2021Affordable Housing Program, compared to the second quarter of 2020.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021, Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

Net income was $27.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $44.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The $17.4 million decreasesame period in net income was primarily due to an increase of $56.8 million in net unrealized losses on trading securities, and a $40.7 million decrease in realized net gain from sale of held-to-maturity securities, partially offset by a decrease of $53.3 million in net losses on derivatives and hedging activities as well as a $34.1 million increase in net interest income after provision for credit losses.2021.

Net interest income after provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, was $104.6$128.4 million, compared with $70.5$104.6 million for the same period for 2020.in 2021. The $23.8 million increase of $34.1 million in net interest income after provision for credit losses is attributable to several favorable factors, including: the absence of margin compression on liquidity investments that we experienced during the second quarter of 2020 following the sudden interest-rate cutswas driven by the FOMC in March; an $18.6 million decrease in net amortization of premium on mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans; a $15.9 million increase in net unrealized gains from fair value hedges; a $3.2 million reduction in credit loss provision expense; a $1.2$1.7 billion increase in the average balance of U.S. Treasury obligations held as investment securities;mortgage-backed securities, an increase of fair value hedge ineffectiveness net gains of $27.8 million, an increase of net accretion of discounts and premiums on mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans of $30.3 million resulting from significant increases in mortgage rates during the first half of 2022, and higher returns from investing the Bank’s capital in a general improvement in funding costs.higher interest-rate environment. These positive factors were partially offset by reductions to net interest income resulting from average balance decreases of $16.9 billion for advances, $1.3 billion for mortgage-backed securities, and $805.1a $710.2 million for mortgage loans, as well as an $8.6 million decrease in accretion of significant improvement in projected cash flows resulting from sales of previously impaired private-label MBS as all private-label MBS were sold in 2020. In addition, net interest income was negatively affected by lower income from investing our capital, resulting from the near zero, and substantially lower, average short-term interest rates in the first half of 2021 compared to the same period a year prior and the $701.8 million decline in the average balance of outstanding capital stockmortgage loans and a $8.7 million decrease in the first half of 2021 compared to the first half of 2020.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net interest margin was 0.58 percent, an increase of 33 basis points from the six months ended June 30, 2020, andprepayment fee income. As a result, net interest spread was 0.530.59 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a 35-basis-point2022, an increase of 6 basis points from the same period in 2020.

Rate and Volume Analysis

Changes in both average balances (volume) and interest rates influence changes in net interest income and net interest margin. Table 4 summarizes changes in interest income and interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021. Changes in interest income and interest expense that are not identifiable as either volume-related or rate-related, but are equally attributable to both volume and rate changes, have been allocated to the volume and rate categories based upon the proportion of the absolute value of the volume and rate changes.

Average Balance of Advances Outstanding

The average balance of total advances decreased $16.9 billion,increased $274.4 million, or 50.21.6 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2021,2022 compared with the same period in 2020.2021. We believe it is likely that advances balances will remaincannot predict future member demand for some time at a level that is significantly lower than that of the past several years, and could decline further, due to high levels deposits relative to loans among our members as well as acquisitions of borrowing members by institutions ineligible for membership with the Bank.advances.

For the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, net prepayment fees on advances were $12.0$3.3 million and $5.0$12.0 million, respectively. Prepayment-fee income is unpredictable and inconsistent from period to period, occurring only when advances and investments are prepaid prior to the scheduled maturity or repricing dates, and generally when prevailing reinvestment yields are lower than those of the prepaid advances. For additional information see Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to the Financial Statements — Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Advances in the 20202021 Annual Report.

Average Balance of Investments

Average short-term money-market investments, consisting of interest-bearing deposits, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and federal funds sold, decreased $3.9 billion,increased $950.1 million, or 46.921.5 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, compared with the same period in 2020,2021, as liquidity needs were sharply lowergreater in the first six months of 2021 as2022 compared to the first six months of 2020 amid much lower2021 due to increased advances borrowing activity. The yield earned on short-term money-market investments is highly correlated to short-term market interest rates. As a result of the sharp decreaseFOMC’s increase in the FOMC’s target range for the federal funds rate, average yields on overnight federal funds sold decreasedincreased from 0.86 percent during the six months ended June 30, 2020, to 0.07 percent during the six months ended June 30, 2021, to 0.57 percent during the six months ended June 30, 2022, while average yields on securities purchased under agreements to resell decreasedincreased from 1.01 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2020, to 0.07 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Average investment-securities balances decreased $164.2 million, or 1.42021, to 0.97 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2021,2022. These investments are used for liquidity management.

Impact of Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Net interest income includes interest accrued on interest-rate-exchange agreements that are associated with advances, investments, and debt instruments that qualify for hedge accounting. The fair value gains and losses of derivatives and hedged items designated in fair-value hedge relationships are also recognized as interest income or interest expense. We enter into derivatives to manage the interest-rate-risk exposures inherent in otherwise unhedged assets and liabilities and to achieve our risk-management objectives. We generally use derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting as interest-rate risk-management tools. These derivatives serve to stabilize net income when interest rates fluctuate. Accordingly, the impact of derivatives on net interest income and net interest margin, as well as other income, should be viewed in the overall context of our risk-management strategy.

Table 5 below provides a summary of the impact of derivatives and hedging activities on our earnings, excluding derivatives that are economically hedging trading securities and not designated in qualifying fair-value hedge relationships. Table 6 below provides a summary of the impact on our earnings from economically hedged trading securities and the associated derivatives.earnings.

Economically Hedged Trading Securities

We maintain a portfolio of economically hedged trading securities consisting of U.S Treasury obligations, which totaled $2.5 billion at June 30, 2021. Because these securities are not designated in qualifying fair-value hedge relationships, the income statement impacts of the economic hedge relationships appear within multiple line items of our income statement. Table 6 presents the net impact to our earnings arising from these economically hedged trading securities.

Advances

At June 30, 2022, the advances portfolio totaled $30.3 billion, an increase of $18.0 billion from $12.3 billion at December 31, 2021. The significant increase in advances was concentrated in variable-rate advances and short-term fixed-rate advances, reflecting rising demand for wholesale funding at member institutions.

At June 30, 2021, the advances portfolio totaled $15.2 billion, a decrease of $3.6 billion compared with $18.8 billion at December 31, 2020. The demand for advances experienced further reduction during the quarter, as member deposit levels continued to be elevated.

Advances Credit Risk

We endeavor to minimize credit risk on advances by monitoring the financial condition of our borrowers and by holding sufficient collateral to protect the Bank from credit losses. All pledged collateral is subject to collateral discounts, or haircuts, to the market value or unpaid principal balance,par value, as applicable, based on our opinion of the risk that such collateral presents. We are prohibited by Section 10(a) of the FHLBank Act from making advances without sufficient collateral. We have never experienced a credit loss on an advance.

We assign each non-insurance company borrower to one of the following three credit status categories based on our assessment of the borrower's overall financial condition and other factors:

Category-1: Members that are generally in satisfactory financial condition;
Category-2: Members that show financial weakness or weakening financial trends in key financial indices and/or regulatory findings; and
Category-3: Members with financial weaknesses that present an elevated level of concern.

We monitor the financial condition of our insurance company members quarterly. We lend to them based on our assessment of their financial condition and their pledge of sufficient amounts of eligible collateral.

The method by which a borrower pledges collateral depends upon the type of borrower (depository vs. non-depository), the category to which the borrower is assigned, and the type of collateral that the borrower pledges. Moreover, borrowers in Category-1 are eligible to specifically list and identify single-family owner-occupied residential mortgage loans at a lower discount than is allowed if the collateral is not specifically listed and identified.

The Bank may adjust the credit status category of a member from time to time based on the financial reviews and other circumstances of the member.

We have not recorded any allowance for credit losses on advances at June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020,2021, for the reasons discussed in Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to the Financial Statements — Note 4 — AdvancesAdvances..

Investment securities increased $3.5 billion$68.0 million to $13.5$13.6 billion at June 30, 2021,2022, compared with $13.5 billion at December 31, 2020. This was attributable to increases of $2.3 billion in U.S. Treasury obligations and $1.2 billion in MBS.2021.

Investments Credit Risk

We are subject to credit risk on unsecured investments consisting primarily of short-term (meaning one year and under to maturity and currently only consisting of overnight risk)maturity) money-market instruments issued by high-quality financial institutions and long-term (original maturity in excess of one year) debentures issued or guaranteed by U.S. agencies, U.S government-owned corporations, GSEs, and supranational institutions.

We place short-term funds with large, high-quality financial institutions that must be internally rated in at least the third-highest internal rating category on a rating scale of FHFA1 through FHFA7, reflecting progressively lower credit quality. The internal rating categories of FHFA1 through FHFA4 are considered to be investment quality. AllAs of June 30, 2022, all of these placements currently either expireexpired within one day or arewere payable upon demand. See Part 1 — Item 1 — Business — Business Lines — Investments in the 20202021 Annual Report for additional information.

In addition to these unsecured investments, we also make secured investments in the form of securities purchased under agreements to resell secured by U.S. Treasury, andU.S. government guaranteed, or agency obligations, with current terms to maturity up to 3595 days and in MBS and HFA securities that are directly or indirectly supported by underlying mortgage loans.

We actively monitor our investment credit exposures and the credit quality of our counterparties, including assessments of each counterparty's financial performance, capital adequacy, sovereign support, and collateral quality and performance, as well as related market signals such as securities prices and credit default swap spreads. We may reduce or suspend credit limits and/or seek to reduce existing exposures, as appropriate, as a result of these monitoring activities.

(1)    The counterparty NRSRO rating is used for money-market instruments. Counterparty ratings are obtained from Moody's, Fitch, Inc. (Fitch), and S&P and are each as of June 30, 2021.2022. If there is a split rating, the lowest rating is used. In certain instances where a counterparty is unrated, wethe Bank may assign a deemed rating to the counterparty and that deemed rating is used.
(2)    The issue rating is used for investment securities. Issue ratings are obtained from Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P. If there is a split rating, the lowest rating is used.

FHFA regulations include limits on the amount of unsecured credit we may extend to a counterparty or to a group of affiliated counterparties based on a percentage of regulatory capital and an internal credit rating determined by each FHLBank. See Part 1 — Item 1 — Business — Business Lines — Investments in the 20202021 Annual Report for additional information. Under these regulations, the level of regulatory capital is determined as the lesser of our total regulatory capital or the regulatory capital of the counterparty. The applicable regulatory capital is then multiplied by a specified percentage for each counterparty, which product is the maximum amount of unsecured credit exposure we may extend to that counterparty. The percentage that we may offer for extensions of unsecured credit other than overnight sales of federal funds ranges from one to 15 percent based on the counterparty's credit rating. From time to time, we may establish internal credit limits lower than those permitted by regulation for individual counterparties.

Mortgage Loans

We invest in mortgages through the MPF program. The MPF program is further described under — Mortgage Loans Credit Risk and in Part I — Item 1 — Business — Business Lines — Mortgage Loan Finance in the 20202021 Annual Report.

As of June 30, 2021,2022, our mortgage loan investment portfolio totaled $3.5$2.9 billion, a decrease of $459.7$222.8 million from December 31, 2020.2021. We expecthave experienced continued competition from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as from private mortgage loan acquirers, for loan investment opportunities. In addition, prepayment activity in the threesix months ended June 30, 2021,2022, has been elevated and has outpaced our purchases of mortgage loans, a trend we expect to continue through 2021. For additional information, see Legislative and Regulatory Developments.loans.

Mortgage Loans Credit Risk

We are subject to credit risk from the mortgage loans in which we invest due to our exposure to the credit risk of the underlying borrowers and the credit risk of the participating financial institutions when the participating financial institutions retain credit-enhancement and/or servicing obligations. For additional information on the credit risks arising from our participation in the MPF program, see Part II — Item 7 — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Financial Condition — Mortgage Loans — Mortgage Loans Credit Risk in the 20202021 Annual Report. For information on the credit performance of our mortgage loan portfolio as of June 30, 2021,2022, see Item I — Financial Statements — Note 5 — Mortgage Loans Held for Portfolio in this report.

Although our mortgage loan portfolio includes loans throughout the U.S., concentrations of 5 percent or greater of the outstanding principal balancepar value of our conventional mortgage loan portfolio are shown in Table 12.11.

Mortgage Insurance Companies. We are exposed to credit risk from primary mortgage insurance coverage (PMI) on individual loans. As of June 30, 2021,2022, we were the beneficiary of PMI coverage of $85.6$65.1 million on $327.4$248.1 million of conventional mortgage loans. These amounts relate to loans originated with PMI and for which current loan-to-value ratios exceed 78 percent (determined by recalculating the original loan-to-value ratio using the current unpaid principal balancepar value divided by the appraised home value at the time of loan origination).

We have analyzed our potential loss exposure to all of the mortgage insurance companies and do not expect incremental losses based on these exposures at this time.

Consolidated Obligations

Derivative Instruments

All derivatives are recorded on the statement of condition at fair value and classified as either derivative assets or derivative liabilities. Bilateral and cleared derivatives outstanding are classified as assets or liabilities according to the net fair value of derivatives aggregated by each counterparty. Derivative assets' net fair value, net of cash collateral and accrued interest, totaled $328.2$389.2 million and $161.2$378.5 million as of June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. Derivative liabilities' net fair value, net of cash collateral and accrued interest, totaled $19.1$0.0 million and $24.1$38.9 million as of June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.

The following table presents a summary of the notional amounts and estimated fair values of our outstanding derivatives, excluding accrued interest, and related hedged item by product and type of accounting treatment as of June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020.2021. The notional amount represents the hypothetical principal basis used to determine periodic interest payments received and paid. However, the notional amount does not represent an actual amount exchanged or our overall exposure to credit and market risk.

(2)    The hedge designation “fair value” represents the hedge classification for transactions that qualify for hedge-accounting treatment and hedge changes in fair value attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate, which is either LIBOR or the OIS rate based on the federal funds effective rate. The hedge designation "cash flow" represents the hedge classification for transactions that qualify for hedge-accounting treatment and hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows. The hedge designation “economic” represents derivatives hedging specific or nonspecific assets, liabilities, or firm commitments that do not qualify or were not designated fordocumented as fair-value or cash-flow hedge accountinghedges but are acceptabledocumented as serving a non-speculative use and are hedging strategies under our risk-management policy.

Tables 15 and 16 provide a summary of our hedging relationships for fair-value hedges of advances and COs that qualify for hedge accounting by year of contractual maturity. Interest accruals on interest-rate-exchange agreements in qualifying hedge relationships are recorded as interest income on advances and interest expense on COs in the statement of operations. The notional amount of derivatives in qualifying fair-value hedge relationships of advances and COs totals $14.0 billion, representing 53.0 percent of all derivatives outstanding as of June 30, 2021.

Derivative Instruments Credit Risk. We are subject to credit risk on derivatives. This risk arises from the risk of counterparty default on the derivative contract. The amount of unsecured credit exposure to derivative counterparty default is the amount by which the replacement cost of the defaulted derivative contract exceeds the value of any collateral held by us (if the counterparty is the net obligor on the derivative contract) or is exceeded by the value of collateral pledged by us to

counterparties (if we are the net obligor on the derivative contract). We accept cash and securities collateral in accordance with the terms of the applicable master netting agreement for uncleared derivatives (principal-to-principal derivatives that are not centrally cleared) from counterparties with whom we are in a current positive fair-value position by an amount that exceeds an exposure threshold (if any) defined in our master netting agreement with the counterparty. The resulting net exposure at fair value is reflected in Table 17 below.position. We pledge cash and securities collateral in accordance with the terms of the applicable master netting agreement for uncleared derivatives to counterparties with whom we are in a current negative fair-value position by an amount that exceeds an exposure threshold (if any) defined in our master netting agreement with the counterparty.position.

From time to time, due to timing differences or derivatives valuation differences between our calculated derivatives values and those of our counterparties, and to the contractual haircuts applied to securities, we pledge to counterparties cash or securities collateral whose fair value is greater than the current net negative fair-value of derivative positions outstanding with them adjusted for any applicable exposure threshold. them.

Transition from LIBOR to Alternative Reference Rates

In July 2017, the United Kingdom's FCA, the regulator for LIBOR, announced that after 2021 it will no longer persuade or compel the major banks that sustain LIBORWe have exposures to submitinvestment securities and derivatives with interest rates for the calculation of LIBOR. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC), which was established in 2014 by the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to help ensure a successful transition in the U.S. from LIBOR, recommended SOFR as the alternative reference rateindexed to U.S. dollar LIBOR.

We recognize that the discontinuance of LIBOR as an interest rate benchmark and the transition to alternative reference rates, including SOFR, present significant risks and challenges that could affect our business. Certain All of our investment securities and derivatives, and certain collateral pledged to us, are indexed to LIBOR with exposure extending beyond December 31, 2021. Under a steering committee comprised of members of senior management and a working group of representatives from departments across the Bank, we have developed and continue to implement a multi-year plan and initiative to transition from LIBOR. We are planning for the eventual replacement of the LIBOR benchmark interest rate, with SOFR as the dominant replacement benchmark. As a result, we have developedLIBOR-indexed financial instruments utilize a LIBOR transition plan, which addresses considerations such as LIBOR exposure, contract “fallback” language (which provides for contractual alternatives to the use of LIBOR when LIBOR cannot be determined based on the method provided in the agreement), operational preparedness, and balance sheet management, as well as contingencies for the potential unavailability of the index prior to December 31, 2021.

In assessing our current exposure to LIBOR, we have developed an inventory of financial instruments impacted and identified contractstenor that may require adding or adjusting the fallback language, the provisions in the financial instrument or contract that specify how LIBOR is to be replaced with an alternative reference rate and related provisions, which may identify the replacement rate. We have added or adjusted fallback language to our advances agreements with members, and the FHLBank System has added fallback language to consolidated obligations. We monitor market-wide efforts to address fallbacks related to LIBOR-based derivatives and investment securities as well as fallback language for other financial instruments. We continue to assess our operational readiness, including updating processes and information technology systems to support the transition from LIBOR to an alternative reference rate.

We worked with the other FHLBanks and the Office of Finance to transition our floating-rate note issuance from LIBOR. The Bank has participated in the FHLBank System’s issuances of SOFR-indexed COs as our funding needs require since the FHLBank System began issuing such COs in November 2018. Market activity in SOFR-indexed financial instruments continues to increase. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we issued $1.0 billion in SOFR-indexed COs. In October 2019, the Bank began to offer a SOFR-based advance. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we issued $3.4 billion in SOFR-indexed advances.

In March 2019, the Bank began to implement OIS based on the federal funds effective rate as an alternative interest rate hedging strategy for certain financial instruments, rather than using LIBOR when entering into new derivative transactions. In addition, a SOFR-based derivative market has begun to emerge.

On September 27, 2019, the FHFA issued a Supervisory Letter that limits certain activities of the FHLBanks with respect to new LIBOR referenced financial assets, liabilities, and derivatives with maturities beyond December 31, 2021. Early in 2019, before the issuance of the Supervisory Letter, we limited the maturities of certain advances that are linked to LIBOR to December 31, 2021. In addition, prior to the issuance of the Supervisory Letter, we had ceased purchasing investments that reference LIBOR and mature after December 31, 2021, and we had suspended entering into LIBOR-indexed derivatives that terminate after December 31, 2021.

On October 16, 2020, the clearing houses CME and LCH transitioned the rate for discounting all U.S. Dollar interest rate cleared swaps from the Effective Fed Funds Rate to SOFR. On October 21, 2020, we adhered to the ISDA 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol, a multilateral mechanism that, effective January 25, 2021, through a Supplement to the ISDA 2006 Definitions (the Supplement), amended our legacy bilateral, over-the-counter LIBOR-based interest rate swaps to substitute SOFR for LIBOR as the benchmark rate following the cessation of LIBOR or if LIBOR is declared by the FCA to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that it is intended to measure.

On November 30, 2020, the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) issued a joint statement encouraging banks to cease entering into new contracts that use U.S.

dollar LIBOR as a reference rate as soon as practicable and no later than December 31, 2021. On March 5, 2021, the FCA announced that LIBOR will either cease to be provided by any administratorpublished or will no longer be representative immediately after December 31, 2021, in the case of 1-week and 2-month U.S. dollar LIBOR, and immediately after June 30, 2023, in the case of the remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR settings. Although the FCA does not expect LIBOR2023. Table 15 presents our exposure to become unrepresentative before the applicable cessation datesLIBOR-indexed investment securities and intends to consult on requiring the administrator of LIBOR to continue publishing LIBOR of certain currencies and tenors on a non-representative, synthetic basis for a period after the applicable cessation date, there is no assurance that LIBOR, of any particular currency or tenor, will continue to be published or be representative through any particular date. The Financial Conduct Authority’s announcement on March 5, 2021 constitutes an index cessation event under the ISDA 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol and the Supplement, and as a result, the fallbacks spread adjustment for each tenor is fixed as of the date of the announcement. See Legislative and Regulatory Developments for information on the 2021 ISDA Interest Rate Derivatives Definitions published by ISDA onLIBOR-indexed derivatives, at June 11, 2021.

On July 1, 2021, the FHFA issued a Supervisory Letter regarding its expectations for an FHLBank’s use of alternative rates other than SOFR. The Supervisory Letter provides guidance on considerations, such as volume of underlying transactions, credit sensitivity, modeling risk and others, that an FHLBank should take into account prior to employing an alternative reference rate.30, 2022.

For further details see the following Risk Factors in our 20202021 Annual Report: Part I — Item 1A — Risk Factors — Market and Liquidity Risks — Changes to and replacement of the LIBOR benchmark interest rate could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations; and — We use derivatives to manage interest-rate risk, however, we could be unable to enter into effective derivative instruments on acceptable terms.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our financial structure is designed to enable us to expand and contract our assets, liabilities, and capital in response to changes in membership composition and member credit needs. Our primary source of liquidity is our access to the capital markets through CO issuance, which is described in Part I — Item 1 — Business — Consolidated Obligations of the 20202021 Annual Report. Outstanding COs and the condition of the market for COs are discussed below under — Debt Financing — Consolidated Obligations. Our equity capital resources are governed by our capital plan, certain portions of which are described under — Capital below as well as by applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Liquidity

We are required to maintain liquidity in accordance with the FHLBank Act, FHFA regulations and guidance, and policies established by our management and board of directors. We seek to be in a position to meet the credit and liquidity needs of our members and to meet all current and future financial commitments by managing liquidity positions to maintain stable, reliable, and cost-effective sources of funds while taking into account market conditions, member demand, and the maturity profile of our assets and liabilities.
57

Table of Contents

We may not be able to predict future trends in member credit needs because they are driven by complex interactions among a number of factors, including members' asset growth or reductions, deposit growth or reductions, and the attractiveness of advances compared to other wholesale borrowing alternatives. We regularly monitor current trends, and anticipate future debt issuance needs and maintain a portfolio of highly liquid assets in an effort to be prepared to fund our members' credit needs and our investment opportunities. We are generally able to expand our CO debt issuance in response to our members' increased credit needs for advances and to increase our acquisitions of mortgage loans. Alternatively, in response to reduced member credit needs, we may allow our COs to mature without replacement, transfer debt to another FHLBank, or repurchase and retire outstanding COs, or redeem callable COs on eligible redemption dates, allowing our balance sheet to shrink.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity. Our primary sources of liquidity are proceeds from the issuance of COs and advance repayments, and maturing short-term investments, as well as cash and investment holdings that are primarily high-quality, short-, and intermediate-term financial instruments.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, we maintained continual access to funding and adapted our debt issuance to meet the needs of our members. As we entered March 2020, markets were disrupted by uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, spurring two FOMC actions to reduce the federal funds target rate by a total of 150 basis points. At that time, our short-term funding was generally driven by increased member demand for advances and was achieved primarily through the issuance of discount notes and short-term CO bonds. We maintained liquidity through short-term investments and U.S. Treasury securities in compliance with guidance from the FHFA. Maintaining liquidity on our balance sheet, however, can expose us to additional interest-rate risk, which could reduce net interest income when interest rates decline, as was the case

Table of Contents
during the six months ended June 30, 2020, during which a substantial amount of short-term debt issued prior to the FOMC’s combined 150 basis point rate cuts in March 2020 remained outstanding through May 2020, resulting in sharp, temporary margin compression.

Our primary uses of liquidity are advance originations and consolidated obligation payments. Other uses of liquidity are mortgage loan and investment purchases, dividend payments, general operating expenses, and other contractual payments. We also maintain liquidity to redeem or repurchase excess capital stock, through our daily excess stock repurchases, upon the request of a member or as required under our capital plan.

Secondary sources of liquidity include payments collected on mortgage loans, proceeds from the issuance of capital stock, and deposits from members. In addition, under the FHLBank Act, the U.S. Treasury may purchase up to $4 billion of COs of the FHLBanks.FHLBank COs. The terms, conditions, and interest rates in such a purchase would be determined by the U.S. Treasury. This authority may be exercised at the discretion of the U.S. Treasury with the agreement of the FHFA only if alternative means cannot be effectively employed to permit members of the FHLBanks to continue to supply reasonable amounts of funds to the mortgage market, and the ability to supply such funds is substantially impaired because of monetary stringency and a high level of interest rates. There were no such purchases by the U.S. Treasury during the six months ended June 30, 2021.2022.

For information and discussion of our guarantees and other commitments we may have, see below — Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations, and forObligations. For further information and discussion of the joint and several liability for FHLBank COs, see below — Debt Financing — Consolidated Obligations.

Internal Liquidity Sources / Liquidity Management

We have developed a methodology and policies by which we measure and manage the Bank’s short-term liquidity needs based on projected net cash flow and contingent obligations.

Projected Net Cash Flow. We define projected net cash flow as projected sources of funds less projected uses of funds based on contractual maturities or expected option exercise periods, and settlement of committed assets and liabilities, as applicable. For mortgage-related cash flows and callable debt, we incorporate projected prepayments and call exercise.

Liquidity Management Action Trigger. We maintain a liquidity management action trigger pertaining to projected net cash flow: if projected net cash flow falls below zero on or before the 21st day following the measurement date, then management of the Bank is notified and determines whether any corrective action is necessary. We did not exceed this threshold at any time during the six months ended June 30, 2021.2022.

Base Case Liquidity Requirement. The Bank is subject to FHFA guidance on liquidity, Advisory Bulletin 2018-07 (Liquidity Guidance AB), which communicates the FHFA’s expectations with respect to the maintenance of sufficient liquidity to enable us to provide advances and letters of credit for members for a specified time without access to the capital markets or other unsecured funding sources.

The Liquidity Guidance AB provides guidance on the level of on-balance sheet liquid assets related to base case liquidity. As part of the base case liquidity measure, the guidance also includes a separate provision covering off-balance sheet commitments from standby letters of credit. In addition, the Liquidity Guidance AB provides guidance related to asset/liability maturity funding gap limits.

Under the Liquidity Guidance AB, FHLBanks are required to hold positive cash flow while rolling over maturing advances to all members and assuming no access to capital markets for a period of time between 10 and 30 calendar days, with a specific measurement period set forth in a supervisory letter. The Liquidity Guidance AB also sets forth the initial cash flow assumptions and formula to calculate base case liquidity. With respect to standby letters of credit, the guidance states that FHLBanks should maintain a liquidity reserve of between 1one percent and 20 percent of its outstanding standby letters of credit commitments, as specified in a supervisory letter.

We were in compliance with these additional liquidity requirements at all times duringDuring the six months ended June 30, 2021.2022, we were out of compliance with the Base Case Liquidity Requirement for one day and in compliance each other day.

Balance Sheet Funding Gap Policy. We may use a portion of the short-term COs issued to fund assets with longer terms, including longer-term floating-rate assets. Funding longer-term floating-rate assets with shorter-term liabilities generally does not expose us to significant interest-rate risk because the interest rates on both the floating-rate assets and liabilities typically reset similarly (either through rate resets or re-issuance of the obligations). However, deviations in the cost of our short-term liabilities relative to resetting assets can cause fluctuations in our net interest margin.

Additionally, the Bank is exposed to refinancing risk due to the fact that,since, over certain time horizons, it has more liabilities than assets maturing. In order to manage the Bank’s refinancing risk, we maintain a policy that limits the potential difference between the amount of financial assets and the amount of financial liabilities expected to mature within three-month and one-year time horizons inclusive of projected mortgage-related prepayment activity. We measure this difference, or gap, as a percentage of total assets under two different measurement horizons - three months and one year. In conformity with the provisions of the

provisions of the Liquidity Guidance AB, the Bank has instituted a limit and management action trigger framework around these metrics as follows:

External Sources of Liquidity

Amended and Restated FHLBanks P&I Funding Contingency Plan Agreement. We have a source of emergency external liquidity through the Amended and Restated FHLBanks P&I Funding Contingency Plan Agreement. Under the terms of that agreement, in the event we do not fund principal and interest payments due with respect to any CO for which issuance proceeds were allocated to us within deadlines established in the agreement, the other FHLBanks will be obligated to fund any shortfall to the extent that any of the other FHLBanks has a net positive settlement balance (that is, the amount by which end-of-day proceeds received by such FHLBank from the sale of COs on that day exceeds payments by such FHLBank on COs on the same day) in its account with the Office of Finance on the day the shortfall occurs. We would then be required to repay the funding to the other FHLBanks. We have never drawn funding under this agreement, nor have we ever been required to provide funding to another FHLBank under this agreement.

Debt Financing Consolidated Obligations

At June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020,2021, outstanding COs for which we are primarily liable, including both CO bonds and CO discount notes, totaled $31.8$57.8 billion and $34.3$28.9 billion, respectively. CO bonds outstanding for which we are primarily liable at June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020,2021, include issued callable bonds totaling $9.3$20.7 billion and $1.7$12.8 billion, respectively.

CO discount notes comprised 26.343.4 percent and 37.57.9 percent of the outstanding COs for which we are primarily liable at June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, but accounted for 93.992.1 percent and 89.393.9 percent of the proceeds from the issuance of such COs during the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively.

Overall, we continued to experience strong demand for COs among investors. We have been able to issue debt in the amounts and structures required to meet our funding and risk-management needs. For most of the period covered by this report, COs were issued at yields that were historically competitive versus those of comparable-term U.S. Treasury securities. COs continue to be issued at yields that are at or lower than LIBOR and SOFR for comparable short-term maturities, althoughmaturities. However, periodic threats of Congressional failure to raise the relevanceU.S. Treasury debt ceiling raise the potential for defaults on U.S. Treasury debt, which could have impacts on demand for and pricing of LIBOR in relation to COs is waning.CO debt.

The Federal Reserve’s recent signaling that low interest rates would last for an extended periodof inflation concerns and potential changes to its continued repurchase agreement offerings, purchases of U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities, as well as the previous establishment of liquidity facilities, are potentially important factors that could continue to shape investor demand for debt, including COs. Moreover, expected increases in U.S. Treasury security issuance in response to higher fiscal deficits following fiscal stimulus programs underlying the CARES Act, American Rescue Plan Act, and any similar future legislation or any change or roll back of regulations governing money market investors may also have an impact on our funding costs.

Capital

Total capital at June 30, 2021,2022, was $2.6$2.9 billion compared with $2.8$2.5 billion at year-end 2020.2021.

Capital stock decreasedincreased by $186.1$603.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021,2022, resulting from the issuance of $2.1 billion of capital stock offset by capital stock repurchases of $282.7 million offset by the issuance of $98.2 million of capital stock.$1.4 billion.

Table of Contents
The FHLBank Act and FHFA regulations specify that each FHLBank is required to satisfy certain minimum regulatory capital requirements. We were in compliance with these requirements at June 30, 2021,2022, as discussed in Part 1— Item 1 — Notes to the Financial Statements — Note 10 — Capital.

Subject to applicable law, following the expiry of the stock redemption period (which is five years for Class B stock), we redeem capital stock for any member that requests redemption of its excess stock, gives notice of intent to withdraw from membership, or becomes a nonmember due to merger, acquisition, charter termination, or involuntary termination of membership, provided that in so doing, we remain in compliance with all regulatory minimum capital requirements and the member remains in compliance with all applicable minimum stock investment requirements. Capital stock subject to a stock redemption period is reclassified to mandatorily redeemable capital stock in the liability section of the statement of condition. For additional information on the redemption of our capital stock, see Part 1— Item 1 — Business — Capital Resources — Redemption of Excess Stock and Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data —Notes to the Financial Statements — Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock in the 2020 Annual Report.

Capital Rule

The FHFA’s regulation on FHLBank capital classification and critical capital levels (the Capital Rule), among other things, establishes criteria for four capital classifications and corrective action requirements for FHLBanks that are classified in any classification other than adequately capitalized. The Capital Rule requires the Director of the FHFA to determine on no less than a quarterly basis the capital classification of each FHLBank. By letter dated June 23, 2021,March 29, 2022, the Director of the FHFA notified us that, based on MarchDecember 31, 2021 financial information, we met the definition of adequately capitalized under the Capital Rule.

Internal Capital Practices and Policies

We also take steps as we believe prudent beyond legal or regulatory requirements in an effort to protect ourensure capital adequacy, reflected in our internal minimum capital requirement, in excess ofwhich exceeds regulatory requirements, our minimum retained earnings target, and limitations on our dividends.

Internal Minimum Capital Requirement in Excess of Regulatory Requirements

To provide protection for our capital base, we maintain an internal minimum capital requirement whereby the amount of paid-in capital stock and retained earnings (together, our actual regulatory capital) must be at least equal to the sum of 4 percent of our total assets plus an amount we measure as our risk exposure with 99 percent confidence using our economic capital model

Table of Contents
(together, (together, our internal minimum capital requirement). As of June 30, 2021,2022, this internal minimum capital requirement equaled $1.9$3.0 billion, which was satisfied by our actual regulatory capital of $2.6$3.2 billion.

Minimum Retained Earnings Target

At June 30, 2021,2022, we had total retained earnings of $1.5$1.6 billion compared with our minimum retained earnings target of $700.0 million. We generally view our minimum retained earnings target as a floor for retained earnings rather than as a retained earnings limit and expect to continue to grow our retained earnings modestly even though we exceed the target.

For information on limitations on dividends, including limitations when we are under our minimum retained earnings target, see Part II — Item 5 — Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities in the 20202021 Annual Report.

Repurchases of Excess Stock

We have the authority, but are not obliged, to repurchase excess stock, as discussed under Part I — Item 1 — Business — Capital Resources — Repurchase of Excess Stock in the 20202021 Annual Report.

As discussed under Part I — Item 1 — Business — Capital Resources — Repurchase of Excess Stock in the 2020 Annual Report, until May 18, 2021,members, we conducted daily repurchases of excess stock held by any shareholder whose excess stock exceeds the lesser of $10.0 million or 10 percent of the shareholder’s total stock investment requirement, subject to a minimum repurchase of $100,000. Beginning with daily excess stock repurchases on May 18, 2021, the calculation of daily stock repurchases changed such that we currently conduct daily repurchases of excess stock from any shareholder whose excess stock exceeds the lesser of $3 million or 3 percent of the shareholder’s total stock investment requirement, subject to the minimum repurchase of $100,000. We plan to continue with this practice, subject to regulatory requirements and our anticipated liquidity or capital management needs, although continued repurchases remain at our sole discretion, and we retain authority to make adjustments to our excess stock repurchase practices subject to notice requirements defined in our Capital Plan, or to suspend repurchases of excess stock from any shareholder or all shareholders without prior notice.

Restricted Retained Earnings

At June 30, 2021,2022, our restricted retained earnings amount was $368.4 million, which exceeds thetotal required contribution to the restricted retained earnings account was $421.4 million compared with our total contribution of $329.8$376.6 million.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Our significant off-balance-sheet arrangements consist of the following:

 •    standby letters of credit;
 •    commitments for unused lines-of-credit advances; and
 •    unsettled COs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make a number of judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities (if applicable), and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Although management believes these judgments, estimates, and assumptions to be reasonably accurate, actual results may differ.

We have identified three accounting estimates that we believe are critical because they require us to make subjective or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain, and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These estimates include accounting for derivatives, the use of fair-value estimates, and accounting for deferred premiums and discounts on prepayable assets. The Audit Committee of our board of directors has reviewed these estimates. The assumptions involved in applying these policies are discussed in
62

Table of Contents
Part II — Item 7 — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Estimates in the 20202021 Annual Report.

As of June 30, 2021,2022, we have not made any significant changes to the estimates and assumptions used in applying our critical accounting policies and estimates from those used to prepare our audited financial statements.

LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

We summarize certain significant legislative and regulatory actions and related developments for the period covered by this
report below.

FHFA Director’s Testimony to House Committee on Financial Services. On July 20, 2022, FHFA Director Sandra Thompson gave testimony to the House Financial Services Committee indicating that the FHFA intends to review the FHLBank System. Director Thompson’s testimony indicated that the FHFA plans to engage a variety of stakeholders in addition to holding public listening sessions throughout the country as part of the review. The Director’s testimony also indicated that the review would examine matters ranging from the System’s membership base, operational efficiency, and effectiveness to more foundational questions about its mission, purpose, and organization. At this time, it is not possible to determine when these events will occur, whether any actions will result from them, and how they will ultimately impact us or the FHLBank System as a whole.

Amendments to FINRA Rule 4210: Margining of Covered Agency Transactions. On July 29, 2022, the Financial Industries Regulatory Authority (FINRA) filed a proposed rule with the SEC that would extend the implementation date of its amendments to FINRA Rule 4210 delaying the effectiveness of margining requirements for covered agency transactions from October 26, 2022 until at least April 24, 2023. Once the margining requirements are effective, we may be required to collateralize our transactions that are covered agency transactions, which include to be announced transactions (TBAs). These collateralization requirements could have the effect of reducing the overall profitability of engaging in covered agency transactions, including TBAs. We do not expect this rule to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

LIBOR Transition

2021 ISDA Definitions.Proposed Rule Implementing the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act. On June 11, 2021, ISDAJuly 28, 2022, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Board) published a proposed rule with a comment deadline of August 29, 2022, that would implement the 2021 ISDAAdjustable Interest Rate Derivatives Definitions (2021 ISDA Definitions), which will update(LIBOR) Act (the Act). The proposed rule would provide default rules for certain contracts (covered contracts) that: reference LIBOR, are governed by U.S. law, do not mature on or before the LIBOR replacement date of June 30, 2023, and consolidate the frequently supplemented 2006 ISDA Definitions as the standard definitionslack adequate provisions to identify a replacement rate for clearedLIBOR. The proposed rule identifies separate Board-selected replacement rates for derivatives transactions, covered GSE contracts, and uncleared interest rate derivatives.all other covered contracts. The 2021 ISDA Definitions incorporate prior supplementsproposed rule defines covered GSE contracts to the 2006 ISDA Definitions in addition to other changes made to conform to updates in market practice and regulation. Both the 2006 ISDA Definitions as supplemented effective January 25, 2021, and the 2021 ISDA Definitions contain ISDA-recommended fallbacks for interest rate derivatives referencing an Interbank Offered Rate, including U.S. Dollar LIBOR. ISDA has announced that implementation of the 2021 ISDA Definitions is expectedinclude FHLBank advances. Accordingly, we continue to take place for clearing houses, trading venues and other market infrastructures between October 1-4, 2021. Whilesteps to mitigate the FHLBanks may continuerisks that arise from the phase out of LIBOR, which includes reviewing the proposed rule, but are not yet able to usepredict the current 2006 ISDA Definitions, ISDA will not incorporate any further supplements following implementation ofextent to which the 2021 ISDA Definitions.

The Bank is considering using the 2021 ISDA Definitions for future derivatives transactions. The Bank does not expect the implementation of the 2021 ISDA Definitions to have a material effect on itsproposed rule would impact our financial condition or results of operations. For a discussion of the potential impact of the LIBOR transition, refer to Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Executive Summary and Item 1A — Risk Factors in the 2020 Annual Report.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments Related to COVID-19 Pandemic

Federal Reserve Board Extends Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility. On June 25, 2021, the Federal Reserve Board announced a final extension of its Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF) by an additional month to July 30, 2021. The PPPLF provides collateralized PPP loan liquidity to eligible Federal Reserve member financial institutions in order to facilitate PPP loan originations at such financial institutions. The extension allowed additional processing time for banks, community development financial institutions, and other financial institutions to pledge to the facility any PPP loans approved by the SBA through the June 30, 2021 expiration of the PPP program.

Credit Union Administration, CFTC and the FHFA, as well as state governments and agencies, have taken, and may continue to take, actions to provide various forms of relief from, and guidance regarding, the financial, operational, credit, market, and other effects of the pandemic, and the U.S. Congress has enacted and may continue to enact pandemic relief legislation, some of which may have a direct or indirect impact on us or our members. Many of these actions are temporary in nature. We continue to monitor these actions and guidance as they evolve and to evaluate their potential impact on us.

Other Legislative Matters

Affordable Housing and Community Investment. Legislation has been introduced in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives that, if enacted in its proposed form, would require that the FHLBanks set aside higher percentages of their earnings for their affordable housing and community investment programs than is currently required under law. The FHLBanks are actively monitoring these proposals.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Sources and Types of Market and Interest-Rate Risk

Our balance sheet is comprised of different portfolios that require different types of market- and interest-rate-risk management strategies. The majority of our balance sheet is comprised of assets that can be funded individually or collectively without imposing significant residual interest-rate risk on ourselves. Sources and types of market and interest-rate risk are described in Part II — Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Sources and Types of Market and Interest-Rate Risk in the 20202021 Annual Report.

Strategies to Manage Market and Interest-Rate Risk

General

Table of Contents

We use various strategies and techniques in an effort to manage our market and interest-rate risk including the following and combinations of the following:

the issuance of COs that can be used to match interest-rate-risk exposures of our assets (at June 30, 2021,2022, fixed-rate noncallable debt, not hedged by interest-rate swaps, amounted to $8.1$6.9 billion, compared with $10.0$8.4 billion at December 31, 2020)2021);
the issuance of COs with embedded call options to mitigate interest-rate and prepayment risks of our mortgage loans and certain MBS (at June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 20202021, fixed-rate callable debt not hedged by interest-rate swaps amounted to $760.0$595.0 million and $1.2 billion,$520.0 million, respectively);
the issuance of CO bonds together with interest-rate swaps (either cleared if no optionality or uncleared if containing optionality) that receive a coupon rate that offsets the bond coupon rate and any optionality embedded in the bond, thereby effectively creating a floating-rate liability (total CO bond debt used in conjunction with interest-rate-exchange agreements was $9.7$20.6 billion, or 41.561.2 percent of our total outstanding CO bonds at June 30, 2021,2022, compared with $1.7$13.0 billion, or 7.948.6 percent of total outstanding CO bonds, at December 31, 2020)2021);
the issuance of advances together with interest-rate swaps that pay a coupon rate that offsets the advance coupon rate and any optionality embedded in the advance, thereby effectively creating a floating-rate asset (total advances used in conjunction with interest-rate-exchange agreements, including both fair-value hedge relationships and economic hedge relationships, was $4.7$2.9 billion, or 31.39.7 percent of our total outstanding advances at June 30, 2021,2022, compared with $5.2$3.0 billion, or 27.824.6 percent of total outstanding advances, at December 31, 2020)2021);
the purchase of available-for-sale securities together with interest-rate swaps that pay a coupon rate that offsets the security’s coupon rate, thereby effectively creating a floating-rate asset (total available-for-sale securities used in conjunction with interest-rate-exchange agreements was $8.5$12.6 billion, or 82.086.4 percent of our total outstanding available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2021,2022, compared with $3.7$10.8 billion, or 66.985.2 percent of total outstanding available-for-sale securities, at December 31, 2020)2021);
contractual provisions for certain advances that require borrowers to pay us prepayment fees, to make us financially indifferent if the borrower prepays such advances prior to maturity; and
the use of derivatives to hedge the interest-rate risk of anticipated future CO debt issuance (at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, forward starting interest-rate swaps hedging the anticipated future issuance of CO debt was $637.0 million compared to $17.0 million at December 31, 2020)$1.4 billion).

Measurement of Market and Interest-Rate Risk and Related Policy Constraints

We measure our exposure to market and interest-rate risk using several techniques applied to the balance sheet and to certain portfolios within the balance sheet. Principal among these measurements as applied to the balance sheet is the potential future change in market value of equity (MVE) and interest income due to potential changes in interest rates, interest-rate volatility, spreads, and market prices. We also measure VaR, duration of equity, MVE sensitivity, and the other metrics discussed below.

MVE is the net economic value of total assets and liabilities, including any off-balance-sheet items.derivative transactions. In contrast to the GAAP-based shareholder's equity account, MVE represents the shareholder's equity account in present-value terms. Specifically, MVE equals the difference between the estimated market value of our assets and the estimated market value of our liabilities.liabilities, net of derivative transactions.

MVE, and in particular, the ratio of MVE to the book value of equity (BVE), is a measure of the current value of shareholder investment based on market rates, spreads, prices, and volatility at the reporting date. However, these valuations may not be fully representative of future realized prices. Valuations are based on market curvesyields and prices of individual assets, liabilities, and derivatives, and therefore embed elements of option, credit, and liquidity risk which may not be representative of future net income to be earned from the spread between asset yields and funding costs. Further, MVE does not consider future new business activities, or income or expense derived from sources other than financial assets or liabilities. For purposes of measuring this ratio, the BVE is equal to the par value of capital stock including mandatorily redeemable capital stock, retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive income.

We measure our exposure to market and interest-rate risk using several metrics, including:

64

Table of Contents
the ratio of MVE to BVE;
the ratio of MVE to the par value of our Class B Stock (Par Stock), which we refer to as the MVE to Par Stock ratio;
the ratio of MVE to the market value of assets, which we refer to as the economic capital ratio;
VaR, which measures the potential change in our MVE, based on a set of stress scenarios (VaR Stress Scenarios) using historically based interest-rate, volatility and Option Adjusted Spread (OAS) movements starting at the most recent month-end and going back monthly to 1998. For risk-based capital purposes and compliance with our internal management action trigger, VaR is reported as the average of the 5 worst case scenarios.
duration of equity, which is calculated as the estimated percentage change to MVE for a 100 basis point parallel shift in rates;
MVE sensitivity, which is the estimated percent change in MVE in various shocked interest rate scenarios versus base case MVE;
the duration gap of our assets and liabilities, which is the difference between the estimated durations (percentage change in market value for a 100 basis point shift in rates) of assets and liabilities (including the effect of related hedges) and reflects the extent to which estimated sensitivities to market changes, including, but not limited to, maturity and repricing cash flows for assets and liabilities are matched; and
the use of an income-simulation model that projects net interest income over a range of potential interest-rate scenarios, including parallel interest-rate shocks, nonparallel interest-rate shocks, and basis changes.

We maintain limits and management action triggers in connection with some of the foregoing metrics. Those limits, management action triggers, and the foregoing market and interest-rate risk metrics are more fully discussed under Part II — Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Measurement of Market and Interest-Rate Risk and Related Policy Constraints in the 20202021 Annual Report.

(1)    InMetrics for measuring against the second quarter of 2021, in order to make the management action trigger for VaR consistent with other management action triggers and align it with our capital levels, the boardlimits are calculated using a methodology which does not constrain interest rates to a minimum of directors approved a change in the management action trigger for VaR, at which time we eliminated the prior management action trigger of maintaining VaR below $350 million and replaced it with a new management action trigger of maintaining VaR below 12 percent of MVE.

Additional metrics are calculated in accordance with guidance from the FHFA, which requires that we constrain projected future interest rates and discounting yields to a minimum of zero percent. For purposes of measuring against the management action triggers and limits, management considers an alternative methodology which does not constrain interest rates to a minimum of zero percent.

Value at Risk. On February 7, 2018,VaR, which measures the potential change in our MVE, is based on a set of stress scenarios (VaR Stress Scenarios) using historically based interest-rate, volatility and option-adjusted spread (OAS) movements starting at the most recent month-end and going back monthly to 1998. For risk-based capital purposes and compliance with our internal management action trigger, VaR is reported as the average of the five worst scenarios.

FHFA issued guidance, Advisory Bulletin 2018-01, which discontinued the use of proportional shocks in VaR modeling in the calculation of market-risk capital requirements. AB 2018-01 was effective as of January 1, 2020, with the implementation of the final rule on FHLBank Capital Requirements published February 20, 2019. AB 2018-01 provides guidance for our determination of market risk scenarios that are incorporated into our internal market risk models.

Under the guidance, the interest-rate and market price scenarios that we incorporate into our internal market risk model are satisfactory if they meet the following criteria: (1) the scenarios are based on historical absolute interest rate changes, as applied to current interest rates; (2) the historical shocks represent changes in interest rates and market conditions observed over 120 business-day periods, and the methodology to apply those shocks to current interest rates incorporates the constraints described in the guidance; (3) the scenarios encompass shocks to interest-rate volatility that reflect the historical relationship between interest rates and volatility; and (4) for assets backed by residential mortgage loans, the scenarios include shocks to OAS. Our VaR model results reported as of June 30, 2021, satisfy all of these requirements by utilizingutilizes interest rate, volatility and OAS shocks provided by the FHFA.

The table below presents the VaR estimate as of June 30, 2021,2022, and December 31, 2020,2021, and represents the estimates of potential reduction to our MVE from potential future changes in interest rates and other market factors, as described above.

Income Simulation and Repricing Gaps. To provide an additional perspective on market and interest-rate risks, we have an income-simulation model that projects adjusted net income over the ensuing 12-month period using a range of potential interest-rate scenarios, including parallel interest-rate shocks, nonparallel interest-rate shocks, and changes toin basis risk. The income simulation metric is based on projections of adjusted net income divided by capital stock (including mandatorily redeemable capital stock). Projections of adjusted net income exclude a) projected prepayment of advances and prepayment penalties; b) loss on early extinguishment of debt; and c) changes in fair values from hedging activities. Theactivities and d) changes in fair values of trading securities are included in the projections of adjusted net income.securities. The simulations are solely based on simulated movements in interest rates and do not reflect potential impacts of credit events, including, but not limited to, potential provision for credit losses.

Management has put in place management action triggers whereby senior management is explicitly informed of instances where our projected return on capital stock (ROCS) falls below the average yield on SOFR plus our dividend spread over a 12-monthtwelve-month horizon in a variety of interest-rate shock scenarios limited to +/- 200 basis points. The results of this analysis for June 30, 2021,2022, showed that in the base case our ROCS was 423548 basis points over SOFR, and in the worst case modeled, the down 200 basis points scenario, our ROCS fell 10657 basis points to 317491 basis points over SOFR. Our ROCS spread to SOFR has remained above the management action trigger minimum during the second quarter of 2021.

Prior to the second quarter of 2021 the management action trigger was the projected return on regulatory capital (RORC) measured against the average yield on SOFR over a 12-month horizon in a variety of interest-rate shock scenarios. Prior to the first quarter of 2021, the management action trigger for RORC was measured against the average yield on three-month LIBOR over a 12-month horizon in a variety of interest-rate shock scenarios.2022. For December 31, 2020,2021, the results of this analysis showed in the base case our RORCROCS was 122396 basis points over three-month LIBOR,SOFR, and in the worst case modeled, the up 300down 200 basis point scenario, our RORCROCS fell 201163 basis points to 79233 basis points below three-month LIBOR.over SOFR.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our senior management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of controls and procedures.

Our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, with the participation of the president and chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as of June 30, 2021.2022. Based on that evaluation, our president and chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2021.2022.
