Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock – On May 31, 2015, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle merged into the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (“FHLB”). The Bank, as a member of the FHLB, is required to maintain a minimum investment in capital stock of the FHLB based on specific percentages of its outstanding advances from the FHLB. The Company views its investment in FHLB stock as a long-term investment. Accordingly, when evaluating for impairment, the value is determined based on the ultimate redemption of the par value rather than recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate redemption is influenced by criteria such as: (1) the significance of any decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, the customer base of the FHLB, and (4) the liquidity position of the FHLB. The Company evaluated its investment in FHLB stock for OTTI, consistent with its accounting policy. Based on the Company’s evaluation of the underlying investment, including the long-term nature of the investment, the liquidity position of the FHLB and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to be able to redeem its investment at par value, the Company did not recognize any OTTI losses on its FHLB stock during the years ended March 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.
