The figures above show more clearxy the extent and result of the operations in connection
with real estate acquired under foreclosure, for the period extending from October 31, 1927* to
December 31, 1938. These operations can be summarized briefly, as follows:
1.

During the period the bank set up on its books Other Real Estate Owned having a book
value of $ 101,563,982.00 after taking losses of $ 5,585,798.00, the combined book cost
amounting to $107,149,780.00, representing the book value of the real estate loans at
the time of foreclosure»

2.

The bank credited Other Real Estate Owned f 61,809,087*00, in which amount was included
charge-offs on the contracts and losses taken on real estate sold amounting to
$ 6,06l,623.00, representing profit and loss adjustments. This latter amount of loss is
offset to a degree by $ 1,426,879.00 in profits on the sale of properties ($ 858,966.79
being a write-up on certain subdivisions sold to Capital Company under a contract carried
in the bankfs assets.) The resulting net liquidation of Other Real Estate Owned from
actual payments and sales to outside purchasers amounted to $ 57,174,343.00 after the
above adjustments.

3.

In addition to (1) and (2) above, the net expense involved in handling this volume of
Other Real Estate amounted to $ 5,199,187.44, reflecting in the bankfs earnings for the
years 1927 to 1937, inclusive.

4.

At the end of 1938, there remained on the bankfs books as Other Real Estate Owned a
total investment of $ 39,754,895*00. Figures for the f u l l year of 1939 were not
available inasmuch as this examination was completed before the end of the year.

The amounts in this column are the only ones comprising a portion of adjustment
credits as shomi in the gross payment, etc., figures above.
Indicates the adjustment made by the bank as a charge-off on contracts for properties
sold to the companies in 1935*
Major portion of this item for 1937 represents the sale of certain subdivision
properties to Capital Company under contract, upon which the bank took a charged
o f f loss of #965,440*70 on certain properties and a write-up profit of #858,966.79
on certain other properties under the same contract.
Included for 1938 figure i s #179,215.73 charge-off on real estate s t i l l carried
on the books.
Represents a payment by California Lands, Incorporated, on July 14, 1937, to cover
loss on certain properties sold to Capital Company and certain other properties
retained under contract. This adjustment arose out of elimination of the I n t e r America Corporation contracts and substitution therefor of the •Guaranteed Loans®,
circumstances of which transaction are f u l l y explained under ^Large Line of
Transamerica Corporation and Subsidiaries* on page 8 of this report.
