1 FOCUS ON FUNDAMENTALS Strength and Stability for Farm Credit Associations AGRIBANK DISTRICT 2018 QUARTERLY REPORT SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 AGRIBANK, FCB AND DISTRICT ASSOCIATIONS FA R M C R E D I T B A N K

2 Copies of Quarterly and Annual Reports are available upon request by contacting AgriBank, FCB, 30 E. 7th Street, Suite 1600, St. Paul, MN or by calling (651) Reports are also available at Management s Discussion and Analysis AgriBank, FCB and District Associations (Unaudited) The following commentary is a review of the combined financial condition and results of operations of AgriBank, FCB (AgriBank) and District Associations which are part of the Farm Credit System (the System). This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Combined Financial Statements, the Notes to the Combined Financial Statements and the 2017 Annual Report. AgriBank is part of the customer-owned, nationwide Farm Credit System. Under Farm Credit's cooperative structure, AgriBank is primarily owned by 14 local Farm Credit Associations, which provide financial products and services to rural communities and agriculture. AgriBank obtains funds and provides funding and financial solutions to those Associations. The AgriBank District covers a 15-state area stretching from Wyoming to Ohio and Minnesota to Arkansas. Forward-Looking Information Any forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are based on current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from expectations due to a number of risks and uncertainties. More information about these risks and uncertainties is contained in the 2017 Annual Report. AgriBank and District Associations undertake no duty to update or revise any forwardlooking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Financial Overview Net income increased $215.6 million, or 15.8 percent to $1.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period one year ago. This increase was mainly attributable to increased noninterest income primarily due to a non-recurring distribution received from the Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation (FCSIC), increased net interest income due mainly to increased loan volume across the District and decreased provision expense. Refer to the Results of Operations section for further discussion. Loan portfolio credit quality remains sound despite a slight decline during 2018 and robust capital levels ensure AgriBank and District Associations are well-positioned to manage the cyclicality that is characteristic of the agricultural market. Refer to the Loan Portfolio and Funding, Liquidity and Shareholders Equity sections for further discussion. 1

3 Economic Conditions Interest Rate Environment U.S. economic activity is expected to continue advancing at a moderate pace and the U.S. economy is forecasted to grow at 2.9 percent in 2018 and 2.5 percent in U.S. economic growth should continue to be driven by consumer and investment spending. Consumer spending has remained strong due to consumer confidence, which is at elevated levels. Investment spending has increased considerably in 2018, partially due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act legislation that was passed in late Investment spending is also expected to increase in 2019, but at a somewhat slower pace than In addition, slower export growth due to the effects of the ongoing trade disputes with China, is expected to moderate economic growth in The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the Federal Reserve continues to move forward with the process of normalizing the level of interest rates and continues winding down its balance sheet. After the 25 basis point (bp) rate increase in September 2018, the target range for the federal funds rate stands at 2.00 to 2.25 percent. The path for the federal funds rates is expected to remain data-dependent and, according to Federal Reserve communications, anticipated economic conditions will warrant only gradual increases in policy rates. The consensus forecast of economists suggests that the FOMC will increase the federal funds rate by an additional 25 bps before the end of 2018 to a target range of 2.25 to 2.50 percent. The U.S. Treasury yield curve has flattened due to the Federal Reserve s increases to short term rates and due to a decline in inflation expectations, which has constrained long term rates from moving significantly higher. Economists expect U.S. Treasury rates to move higher by the end of 2018 with the 2-year and 10-year rates approaching 2.89 and 3.17 percent respectively. AgriBank manages interest rate risk consistent with policies established by the AgriBank Board of Directors and limits established by AgriBank s Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) (refer to Interest Rate Risk Management section of the 2017 Annual Report). Agricultural Conditions The U.S. Department of Agriculture s Economic Research Service (USDA-ERS) has forecasted 2018 U.S. net farm income to decrease $9.8 billion, or 13 percent to $65.7 billion from the latest 2017 estimate of $75.5 billion. The decline in the forecasted 2018 net farm income is largely driven by increased expenses, primarily due to increases in production, labor costs and interest expense. The latest 2018 forecast does not include the USDA Market Facilitation Program (MFP) payments which will likely improve the forecast by $2 billion to $4 billion. U.S. farm sector working capital has declined in recent years and is expected to continue to decline in 2018, perpetuated by diminished levels of cash and other short-term assets, sustained low commodity prices and growing short-term debt. While 2018 net farm income and working capital are expected to decline, a healthy U.S. economy is expected to support domestic demand for most agricultural commodities in the foreseeable future. The primary area of risk will remain the export component of the demand for U.S. agricultural commodities, with a stronger dollar and ongoing uncertainty surrounding the future of U.S. trade policy. Major cash crops in the United States are projected to remain at elevated supply levels resulting from a combination of factors, including overall excellent crop conditions, tariffs and strong harvests in recent years. In addition to cash crops, pork and dairy are heavily dependent upon exports and most susceptible to foreign trade-related disruptions in The 2

4 risk in the export component of the demand for U.S. agricultural commodities may be partially mitigated by MFP assistance to producers impacted by retaliatory tariffs. Continued low feed costs along with higher expected market prices in most major animal protein categories entering 2018 have driven increased production, giving rise to increased supply. This increased supply coupled with the expected impact of tariffs from China and other major importing countries are creating price challenges for producers, especially pork, as roughly one-fifth of domestically produced pork is exported. Producers who are able to realize cost-of-production efficiencies and market their farm products effectively are most likely to adapt to the current price environment. Optimal input usage, adoption of cost-saving technologies, negotiating adjustments to various business arrangements such as rental cost of agricultural real estate, and effective use of hedging and other price risk management strategies are all critical in yielding positive net income for producers. Updated Industry Conditions The following are industry conditions for which we have updated our outlook since December 31, For further analysis of industry conditions which have not experienced a change in outlook since December 31, 2017, refer to the Agricultural Conditions section of Management s Discussion and Analysis of the 2017 Annual Report. Soybeans A decline in the level of soybean prices, primarily due to the combined impact of high yields in 2018, large ending stocks and Chinese tariffs, has resulted in a downgrade to our industry outlook from neutral to negative. Dairy Producers in the industry have been operating at poor margins in 2018, and this is expected to continue in The margin challenges are due mainly to an increase in global supply suppressing prices, and tariffs from China and other major importing countries. Due to these factors, the industry outlook has been downgraded from neutral-to-negative to negative. Land Values The AgriBank District continues to monitor agricultural land values. AgriBank conducts an annual Benchmark Survey, completed by licensed real estate appraisers, of a sample of benchmark farms selected to represent the lending footprint of District Associations. The District s most recent real estate market value survey based on the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2018 indicated that the District real estate value changes ranged from a negative 6.5 percent to positive 12.5 percent. Land value increases continue to be most common in areas heavily influenced by livestock operations, off-farm income and areas with crop production other than the major crops of corn, soybeans and wheat. Conversely, modest declines in values were concentrated primarily in areas of corn, soybean and wheat production. The Federal Reserve Banks of Chicago, Kansas City, Minneapolis and St. Louis reported on the change in farmland values from the end of the second quarter 2017 to the end of the second quarter 2018 in their respective districts. These Federal Reserve district reports indicated overall farmland values ranging from a decrease of 4.0 percent to an increase of 3.0 percent. 3

5 The USDA 2018 land value survey, based primarily on agricultural producer opinions, indicated farmland values and cropland values in the AgriBank District increased 1.4 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively, compared to 2017 survey results. Land values in the District are expected to remain stable or soften over the next year, primarily due to anticipated continued low levels of net farm income in 2018 and beyond and, to a lesser extent, expected interest rate increases. Loan Portfolio Components of Loans September 30, December 31, (in thousands) Accrual loans: Real estate mortgage $58,591,718 $57,159,353 Production and intermediate-term 26,034,928 26,101,406 Agribusiness 12,724,173 11,313,418 Rural residential real estate 2,672,941 2,713,168 Other 5,054,785 4,439,645 Nonaccrual loans 837, ,684 Total loans $105,916,066 $102,472,674 The Other category is primarily composed of communication and energy related loans, certain assets originated under the Mission Related Investment authority, loans to other financing institutions and finance leases. District loans totaled $105.9 billion at September 30, 2018, a $3.4 billion, or 3.4 percent, increase from December 31, Total loans increased primarily due to an increase in agribusiness and real estate mortgage volume. Agribusiness volume increased due primarily to growth in capital markets lending. Real estate mortgage volume increased from December 31, 2017 primarily due to higher loan origination volume and slowing repayments at certain District Associations. Production and intermediate-term loan volume increased during the second and third quarters of 2018 driven by seasonal draws to fund operations. Production and intermediate term loan volume typically increases at year-end due to seasonal draws made late in the year for tax planning purposes followed by repayments made in the first quarter of the subsequent year. Credit quality across the District declined slightly to 91.3 percent of the portfolio classified in the acceptable category, compared to 92.1 percent at December 31, The increase in adverse credit quality, delinquencies and related allowance for loan losses, compared to December 31, 2017, was primarily due to certain borrowers that continue to be impacted by low net farm income. Substandard and doubtful loans, collectively called adverse loans, are loans AgriBank and District Associations have identified as showing some credit weakness outside typical credit standards. Adversely classified loans were 4.8 percent at September 30, 2018, compared to 4.3 percent at December 31, 2017 and are expected to continue to increase as the District moves through this agriculture efficiency cycle. 4

6 Components of Risk Assets September 30, December 31, (in thousands) Nonaccrual loans $837,521 $745,684 Accruing restructured loans 83,139 91,876 Accruing loans 90 days or more past due 33,603 10,003 Total risk loans 954, ,563 Other property owned 51,697 12,295 Total risk assets $1,005,960 $859,858 Risk loans as a % of total loans 0.90% 0.83% Nonaccrual loans as a % of total loans 0.79% 0.73% Delinquencies as a % of total loans 0.67% 0.55% Note: Accruing loans include accrued interest receivable. Risk assets have increased from December 31, 2017, but remain at acceptable levels. At September 30, 2018, 58.2 percent of nonaccrual loans were current as to principal and interest compared to 59.8 percent at December 31, The increase in risk loans was driven primarily by declines in net farm income for certain borrowers within the District. Other property owned increased primarily due to the addition of property from two grain operations. Based on current forecasts for net farm income in certain agricultural production sectors, risk assets are expected to continue to rise. AgriBank s and District Associations policies require loans past due 90 days to be transferred into nonaccrual status unless adequately secured and in the process of collection. Based on AgriBank s and District Associations analyses, accruing loans 90 days or more past due were eligible to remain in accruing status. Allowance Coverage Ratios Allowance as a percentage of: September 30, December 31, Loans 0.46% 0.43% Nonaccrual loans 58.64% 58.48% Total risk loans 51.46% 51.45% Adverse assets to capital and allowance for loan losses 23.89% 22.04% The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of losses on loans in the portfolio as of the financial statement date. AgriBank and District Associations determine the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses based on the periodic evaluation of factors such as loan loss history, estimated probability of default, estimated loss severity, portfolio quality, and current economic and environmental conditions. The allowance for loan losses increased from December 31, 2017, to $491.1 million as of September 30, This increase is primarily due to deterioration in credit quality throughout the District which has resulted in increased risk loans, adverse credit quality and industry related reserves. The management of AgriBank and each District Association, respectively, believe the allowances for loan losses are reasonable in relation to the risk in their respective portfolios at September 30,

7 Funding, Liquidity and Shareholders Equity AgriBank is responsible for meeting the District's funding, liquidity and asset/liability management needs. Access to the unsecured debt capital markets remains the District s primary source of liquidity. The System continues to have reliable access to the debt capital markets to support its mission of providing credit to farmers, ranchers and other eligible borrowers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, investor demand for Systemwide Debt Securities remained favorable. AgriBank also maintains a secondary source of liquidity through a high-quality investment portfolio and other short-term liquid assets. AgriBank manages liquidity for operating and debt repayment needs through managing debt maturities, as well as forecasting and anticipating seasonal demands. AgriBank maintains maturing investments and bank balances of at least $500 million on hand each day to meet cash management and loan disbursement needs in the normal course of business. AgriBank manages intermediate and longer-term liquidity needs through the composition of the liquidity investment portfolio, which is structured to meet both regulatory requirements and operational demands. Specifically, AgriBank provides at least 15 days of liquidity coverage from cash, overnight investments and U.S. Treasury securities less than three years in maturity. Other short-term money market investments, as well as government and agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), are positioned to cover regulatory requirements for 30- and 90-day intervals. Additionally, a supplemental liquidity buffer provides days coverage in excess of 90 days from money market instruments greater than 90 days in maturity and asset-backed securities (ABS). At September 30, 2018, AgriBank held qualifying assets in excess of each incremental level to meet the liquidity coverage intervals. AgriBank s liquidity policy and Farm Credit Administration (FCA) regulations require maintaining minimum liquidity on a continuous basis of 120 days and 90 days, respectively. The days of liquidity measurement refers to the number of days that maturing debt is covered by liquid investments. As of September 30, 2018, AgriBank had sufficient liquidity to fund all debt maturing within 144 days. AgriBank maintains a contingency funding plan (CFP) that helps inform operating and funding needs and addresses actions that would be considered in the event that there is not ready access to traditional funding sources. These potential actions include borrowing overnight via federal funds, using investment securities as collateral to borrow, using the proceeds from maturing investments and selling liquid investments. AgriBank sizes the investment portfolio using the CFP to cover estimated operating and funding needs for a minimum of 30 days with a targeted $500 million buffer. Total shareholders equity at September 30, 2018 was $23.4 billion, a $1.4 billion increase from December 31, Shareholders equity increased primarily due to comprehensive income for the period, partially offset by earnings reserved for patronage distributions. At September 30, 2018, AgriBank and each District Association exceeded the regulatory minimum capital ratios. Refer to Note 4 in the accompanying Combined Financial Statements for further discussion of capital ratios. 6

8 Results of Operations District net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $1.6 billion, a 15.8 percent increase, compared to the same period in The annualized return on average assets was 1.8 percent and 1.5 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Changes in Significant Components of Net Income (in thousands) Increase (decrease) For the nine months ended September 30, in Net Income Net interest income $2,300,018 $2,228,058 $71,960 Provision for credit losses 72, ,016 28,723 Non-interest income 267, , ,352 Non-interest expense 899, ,939 3,304 Provision for income taxes 15,848 26,148 10,300 Net income $1,580,224 $1,364,585 $215,639 Low crop prices and current economic conditions have resulted in continued low net farm income for certain borrowers across the District, which has driven additional provisions during the nine months ended September 30, Refer to the Loan Portfolio section for further discussion. The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to the $65.9 million Allocated Insurance Reserve Accounts (AIRAs) distribution received from the Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation (FCSIC) during the first quarter of The AIRAs were established by the FCSIC when premiums collected increased the level of the insurance fund beyond the required secured base amount of 2 percent of insured debt. Refer to the 2017 Annual Report for additional information about the FCSIC. Mineral income also contributed to the increase in non-interest income primarily due to higher oil and gas prices and increased production compared to the prior year. Changes in Net Interest Income (in thousands) For the nine months ended September 30, Increase (decrease) due to: Volume 2018 vs 2017 Rate Total Interest income: Loans $118,096 $262,273 $380,369 Investments 7,751 87,532 95,283 Other earning assets (156) 102 (54) Total interest income 125, , ,598 Interest expense: Systemwide debt securities and other (34,060) (369,578) (403,638) Net change in net interest income $91,631 $(19,671) $71,960 Net interest income (NII) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased $72.0 million, or 3.2 percent, compared to the same period in Net interest income increased primarily due to increases in loan volume compared to the prior year. The structure of AgriBank s funding has had less of an impact on NII. As anticipated, the positive contribution from funding actions has declined due to the current interest rate environment. 7

9 Information regarding the year-to-date average daily balances (ADBs) and annualized average rates earned and paid on the portfolio follows: (in thousands) For the nine months ended September 30, ADB Rate NII ADB Rate NII Interest earning assets: Accrual loans $102,006, % $3,473,019 $98,421, % $3,095,565 Nonaccrual loans 797, % 33, , % 30,782 Investment securities and federal funds 17,866, % 286,367 17,192, % 191,084 Other earning assets 32, % 1,215 36, % 1,269 Total earning assets $120,702, % $3,794,297 $116,389, % $3,318,700 Interest bearing liabilities 98,553, % 1,494,280 95,647, % 1,090,642 Interest rate spread $22,149, % $20,742, % Impact of equity financing 0.37% 0.27% Net interest margin 2.55% 2.55% Net interest income $2,300,017 $2,228,058 Equity financing represents the benefit of non-interest bearing funding, primarily shareholders equity, and was up significantly compared to the prior year due to higher equity volume and a higher level of interest rates. Interest rate spread decreased ten basis points from the same period last year. The decrease in spread has been substantially driven by spread compression in the production and intermediate term sector due to competitive pressures across the district. District Associations interest rates rise faster than their competition as actions by the Federal Reserve impact the Farm Credit System immediately as compared to the delay the competition experiences as they are generally funded by deposits. Conversely, District Associations are more competitive in falling interest rate environments as Farm Credit System cost of funds declines more rapidly than that of competitors. Additional Regulatory Information Investment Securities Eligibility In May 2018, the FCA Board approved a final rule to revise the requirements governing the eligibility of investment securities for System Banks and Associations. The new regulation is intended to strengthen the eligibility criteria for investments that System Banks purchase and hold. Further, it removes references to and requirements for credit ratings and substitutes other appropriate standards of credit worthiness in compliance with section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The regulation is effective January 1, AgriBank and District Associations are currently working to update policies, procedures and other documentation to ensure compliance by the effective date. AgriBank and District Associations do not expect the regulation to have a material impact on the AgriBank and District Associations combined financial statements. 8

15 Notes to Combined Financial Statements AgriBank, FCB and District Associations (Unaudited) NOTE 1 Organization and Significant Accounting Policies AgriBank, FCB (AgriBank) and District Associations (the District) are part of the customer-owned nationwide Farm Credit System (the System or FCS), established by Congress and subject to the provisions of the Farm Credit Act of 1971, as amended. The System specializes in providing financing and related services to qualified borrowers for agricultural and rural purposes. AgriBank and its District Associations are collectively referred to as the District. At September 30, 2018, the District had 14 Agricultural Credit Associations (ACA). Each parent ACA has wholly owned Federal Land Credit Association and Production Credit Association subsidiaries. AgriBank serves as the intermediary between the financial markets and the retail lending activities of the District Associations. A description of the organization and operation of the District, significant accounting policies followed, combined financial condition and results of operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 are contained in the 2017 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes in District accounting policies since December 31, These unaudited third quarter 2018 Combined Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 do not necessarily indicate the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, All significant transactions and balances between AgriBank and District Associations have been eliminated in combination. The accompanying Combined Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial condition and results of operations and conform to accounting principles generally accepted (GAAP) in the United States of America and prevailing practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of Combined Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Combined Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain amounts in prior year s Combined Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements AgriBank and District Associations have assessed the potential impact of accounting standards that have been issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and have determined the following standards to be applicable to the Combined Financial Statements. While not all District Associations are public entities, for the purposes of combination, District Associations generally adopt on the public entity required date. For the recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements disclosed, no District Association plans to adopt on a non-public entity date. 14

16 Standard and effective date In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) Revenue from Contracts with Customers." This guidance was effective for public business entities on January 1, In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Cost. This guidance was effective for public business entities on January 1, In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This guidance was effective for public business entities on January 1, Description This guidance governs revenue recognition from contracts with customers and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Financial instruments and other contractual rights within the scope of other guidance issued by the FASB are excluded from the scope of this new revenue recognition guidance. In this regard, a majority of contracts within the District are excluded from the scope of this new guidance. This guidance requires that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost. Specifically, the guidance requires non-service cost components of net benefit cost to be recognized in a non-operating income line item of the income statement and allow only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. The guidance is intended to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. The amendments address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure in the financial statements. Adoption status and financial statement impact AgriBank and District Associations adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach, as the majority of revenues at each institution are not subject to the new guidance. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the combined financial condition, combined results of operations or cash flows. AgriBank and District Associations adopted this guidance on January 1, The adoption of the guidance did not impact the statements of financial condition or cash flows non-service cost components of net benefit cost were reclassified from salaries and employee benefits to other operating expenses on the Combined Statements of Comprehensive Income. This retroactive adjustment was not considered to be material. There were no changes to the financial statement disclosures. AgriBank and District Associations adopted this guidance on January 1, The adoption of this guidance did not impact the combined financial condition, combined results of operations or cash flows. Financial statement disclosures related to the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the combined statement of condition are no longer required and will be excluded from the 2018 Annual Report. 15

17 Standard and effective date In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This guidance was effective for public business entities on January 1, In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU "Leases." In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. The guidance is effective for public business entities in the first quarter of 2019 and early adoption is permitted. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This guidance is effective for public business entities in the first quarter of 2019 and early adoption is permitted. Description The guidance addresses specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the diversity in the classification of these cash flows. Included in the cash flow issues are debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs and settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing. The guidance modifies the recognition and accounting for lessees and lessors and requires expanded disclosures regarding assumptions used to recognize revenue and expenses related to leases. When this guidance is adopted, a liability for lease obligations and a corresponding right-ofuse asset will be recognized on the Combined Statements of Condition for all lease arrangements spanning more than 12 months. The guidance includes an optional transition method where an entity is permitted to apply the guidance as of the adoption date and recognize a cumulativeeffect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The guidance better aligns an entity s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The amendments in this guidance require an entity to present the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. This guidance also addresses the timing of effectiveness testing, qualitative and quantitative effectiveness testing and components that can be excluded from effectiveness testing. Adoption status and financial statement impact AgriBank and District Associations adopted this guidance on January 1, The adoption of this guidance did not impact the combined financial condition or combined results of operations. Debt extinguishment costs were previously disclosed as operating cash flows and will be reported as financing cash flows as a result of this guidance. However, no debt extinguishment costs were incurred during the last three-year period. Therefore, no changes in the classification of cash flows were required as a result of this guidance. AgriBank and District Associations have no plans to early adopt this guidance. AgriBank and District Associations are at various stages including: in the process of system selection, drafting accounting policies and disclosures, and designing processes and controls to implement this standard. An estimate of the impact on the combined financial statements cannot be determined at this time. AgriBank has no plans to early adopt this guidance. The guidance does not apply to any District Associations. The implementation at AgriBank is expected to have an immaterial impact to the combined results of operations as all derivative gains and losses, for which hedge accounting is applied, will be recognized in interest expense on the Combined Statements of Comprehensive Income. We expect modification to certain derivative-related financial statement disclosures. There is no impact expected to the combined financial condition or cash flows. 16

18 Standard and effective date In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." This guidance is effective for public business entities for the first quarter of 2020 and early adoption is permitted. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU Customer s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This guidance is effective for public business entities for the first quarter of 2020 and early adoption is permitted. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. This guidance is effective for public business entities for the first quarter of 2021 and early adoption is permitted. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU Financial Instruments - Credit Losses." The guidance is effective for public business entities for non-u.s. Securities Exchange Commission filers for the first quarter of 2021 and early adoption is permitted. Description The guidance removes, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The guidance clarifies that implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract should be accounted for in the same manner as implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The guidance removes and adds certain disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale securities would also be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. Adoption status and financial statement impact AgriBank and District Associations are in the process of reviewing the accounting standard. Based on preliminary review and analysis, certain modifications to fair value related disclosures are expected. Prior to the effective date, AgriBank and District Associations may adopt a portion of this guidance and remove certain fair value disclosures, as permitted by the guidance. AgriBank and District Associations are in the process of reviewing the accounting standard. Based on preliminary review and analysis, this new guidance will not have a material impact on the combined financial statements and financial statement disclosures. AgriBank and District Associations are in the process of reviewing the accounting standard. Based on preliminary review and analysis, modifications to certain employee benefit plan related disclosures are expected. Prior to the effective date, AgriBank and District Associations may early adopt this disclosure guidance. AgriBank and District Associations have no plans to early adopt this guidance. AgriBank and District Associations have reviewed the accounting standard and are in the process of system selection and drafting disclosures. Significant implementation matters yet to be addressed include drafting of accounting policies and designing processes and controls. AgriBank and District Associations are currently unable to estimate the impact on the financial statements. 17
