SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
These statements do not include accountability fo r assets and liabilities of closed
insured banks fo r w hich the C orporation acts as receiver or liquidating agent. Periodic
and final accou nta b ility reports of its activities as receiver or liquidating agent are fu r­
nished by the C orporation to courts, supervisory authorities, and others as required.
U.S. Treasury Obligations
Securities are shown at amortized cost w hich is the purchase price of the securities less
the amortized prem ium or plus the accreted discount. Such am ortization and accretion
are com puted on a daily straight-line basis from the date of acquisition to the date of
m aturity.
Deposit Insurance Assessments
The C orporation assesses insured banks at the rate of 1 /1 2 of one percent per year on
the bank's average deposit liab ility less certain exclusions and deductions. Assessments
are due in advance fo r each six-m onth period and credited to income each m onth. On
March 3 1 ,1 980, President Carter signed into law the D epository Institutions Deregula­
tion and M onetary C ontrol Act of 1 980, one provision of w hich revised the mechanism
fo r determ ining the credit banks receive against the annual assessment they pay for
deposit insurance. The statute changes the basis fo r the assessment credit to 60 per­
cent from 66 2 / 3 percent of net assessment incom e and authorizes the FDIC Board of
D irectors to make adjustm ents to this percentage w ithin certain lim its in order to m ain­
tain the Deposit Insurance Fund between 1.25 and 1.40 percent of estimated insured
deposits. If this ratio falls below 1.10 percent or above 1.40 percent, the FDIC is man­
dated to make fu rth e r reductions, up to 50 percent, or increases to the percentage dis­
trib u tio n of net assessment income.
Allow ance for Losses
It is the policy of the C orporation to establish an estimated allowance fo r loss at the time
a bank fails. These allowances are reviewed every six m onths and adjusted as required,
based on financial developm ents w hich accrue during each six-m onth period. The C or­
poration does not state its estimated co ntingent liability fo r unknown future bank clo s­
ings because such estimates are im possible to make. The C orporation's co ntin ge nt lia­
bility fo r eventual net losses depends upon factors w hich cannot be assessed until or
after a bank has actually failed. The C orporation's entire Deposit Insurance Fund and
borrow ing authority are available, however, fo r such contingencies.
Depreciation
The W ashington Office Buildings are depreciated on a straight-line basis over a 50-year
estimated life. The cost of furniture, fixtures, and equipm ent is expensed at tim e of
acquisition.
Reclassifications and Accounting Procedures Changes
1. Assets and Liabilities:
a) Beginning w ith the March 3 1 ,1 9 8 0 Financial Statements, assets and liabilities
have been presented under tw o m ajor groups, current and long-term .
b) Assets acquired from insured banks, w hich in prior presentations have been
shown under tw o separate groupings, have been consolidated into a single major
asset category.
2. Income Statement:
Items related to incom e from securities and income from assessments have been
regrouped in order to provide a more m eaningful presentation of incom e derived

from each of these m ajor categories of income to the C orporation. Also, rents earned
on leased space, w hich in prior presentations had been shown as a separate income
item, has been netted into adm inistrative operating expenses.
3. Liquidators Cash C ollections:
Cash collected by the Liquidators w ill only be recognized in the books of the C orpora­
tion at the tim e the funds are received by the C orporation.
4. Reclassifications:
Reclassifications have been made in the 1 9 80 Financial Statements to conform to
the presentation used in 1981.
Accrued Interest
Accrued interest, when classified in the current portions of the Comparative Statement
of Financial Position, represents the entire am ount of interest due to or due from the
C orporation w ithin one year, including interest accrued on those principal amounts
classified as long-term .
Income M aintenance Agreements
It is the policy of the C orporation to record its liab ility under an Income M aintenance
Agreem ent at the present value of each estimated cash outlay at the tim e the agreement
is accepted. Estimated cash outlays are anticipated future payments the C orporation
w ill provide to offset the difference between the annualized cost of funds and the
annualized return on the declining volum e of earning assets acquired in a merger tra n ­
saction, plus an am ount to cover overhead costs. The charge is recorded to Insurance
Loss. The present value of the liab ility is then amortized daily and recorded m onthly over
the term of the agreement. Any differences between the estimated and actual cash o u t­
lays are recorded as adjustm ents. The o riginally recorded loss, plus or minus any
adjustments, w ill be prorated between insured banks and the Deposit Insurance Fund as
provided in Section 7(D), revised March 3 1 ,1 9 8 0 , of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.

D eposit insurance disbursem ents
Disbursem ents by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to protect
depositors are made w hen the insured deposits of banks in financial d iffi­
culties are paid off, or w hen the deposits of a failing bank are assumed by
another insured bank w ith the financial aid of the Corporation. In deposit
payoff cases, the disbursem ent is the amount paid by the Corporation on
insured deposits. In deposit assumption cases, the principal disbursement
is the am ount loaned to failing banks, or the price paid for assets purchased
from them; additional disbursem ents are made in those cases as advances
for protection of assets in process of liquidation and for liquidation
expenses. In deposit assum ption cases, the Corporation also may purchase
assets or guarantee an insured bank against loss by reason of itsassum ing
the liabilities and purchasing the assets of an open or closed insured bank.
Under its section 13(c) authority, the Corporation has made disburse­


CD
co


ments to five operating banks. The amounts of these disbursements are
included in table 126, but are not included in tables 124 and 125.
Noninsured bank failures
Statistics in this report on failures of noninsured banks are compiled from
inform ation obtained from State banking departments, field supervisory
officials, and other sources. The Corporation received no reports of nonin­
sured bank closures due to financial difficulties in 1981.
For detailed data regarding noninsured banks that suspended in the
years 1934-1962, see the Annual Report for 1963, pp. 27-41. For 19631981, see table 122 of this report, and previous reports for respective years.

1 For the period from 1950 to 1981, inclusive, figures are net after deducting the portion of net assessment income credited to insured banks pursuant to provisions of the Federal Deposit insurance Act of 1950, as amended. Assessment credits to insured banks
fo r these years amount to $6,458 m illion.
^Includes $39 m illion of interest and allowable return received on funds advanced to receivership and deposit assumption cases and $ 130 million of interest on capital notes advanced to facilitate deposit assumption transactions and assistance to open banks.
3Paid in 1950 and 1951, but allocated among years to which it applies. Initial capital of $289 million was retired by payments to the U.S. Treasury in 1947 and 1948.
4Assessments collected from members of the temporary insurance funds which became insured under the permanent plan were credited to their accounts at the termination of the temporary funds and were applied toward payment of subsequent assessments
becoming due under the permanent insurance fund, resulting in no income to the Corporation from assessments during the existence of the temporary insurance funds.
^Includes net loss on sales of U.S. Government securities of $105.6 million in 1976 and $3.6 million in 1978.
6Net after deducting the portion of expenses and losses charged to banks withdrawing from the temporary insurance funds on June 30, 1934.
