SUBJECT:

Second Quarter 2007 CFO Report to the Board

The attached report highlights the Corporation's financial activities and results for the period ending
June 30, 2007.
Executive Summary
•

The Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) fund balance grew by 0.95 percent to $51.2 billion during
the second quarter of 2007, a decrease of 21 basis points from the growth experienced in the
first quarter of 2007. DIF’s comprehensive income for the second quarter of 2007 was 17
percent lower compared to the prior quarter ($482 million vs. $580 million). This decrease of
$98 million is primarily attributable to the volatility in the market value of DIF’s portfolio of
available-for-sale securities (AFS) securities. Although the DIF reported higher interest
revenue ($181 million) and an increase in assessment revenue ($46 million) in the second
quarter, this was fully offset by a lower contribution to the year-to-date comprehensive income
from unrealized (loss)/gain on AFS securities (second quarter unrealized loss of $162 million
vs. first quarter unrealized gain of $81 million) and a smaller reduction in the estimated losses
for anticipated failures ($70 million).

•

For the six months ending June 30, 2007, Corporate Operating Budget and Investment Budget
related expenditures ran below budget by 10 percent and 53 percent, respectively. The variance
with respect to the Corporate Operating Budget expenditures was primarily the result of limited
resolutions and receivership activities in the Receivership Funding component of the budget
through the second quarter. Detailed quarterly reports are provided separately to the Board by
the Capital Investment Review Committee for those projects that are included in the Investment
Budget.

The following is an assessment of each of the three major finance areas: financial statements,
investments, and budget.
Trends and Outlook
Comments
Assessment revenue in the second quarter was 49 percent higher than first
quarter revenue ($140 million vs. $94 million). This increase primarily
resulted from a reduction in the amount of assessment credits estimated to
be used by financial institutions to offset gross assessments. The trend in
higher assessment income is expected to continue as institutions deplete
their available credits; through the first two quarters of 2007, institutions
are expected to use approximately $1.6 billion, or 34 percent, of the initial
$4.7 billion one-time assessment credit (second quarter assessments will be
collected on September 28, 2007).

Financial Results
I. Financial
Statements

•

II. Investments

•

The DIF portfolio amortized cost (book value) increased by 2.22 percent
during the first half of 2007, and totaled $49.942 billion on June 30, 2007.
During the period, newly purchased securities had higher average yields
than those of maturing securities. Consequently, the DIF portfolio’s yield
increased by eight basis points during the first half of 2007, rising to 4.97
percent as of June 30, 2007, from 4.89 percent as of December 31, 2006.

•

Treasury market yields are expected to continue to trade generally within
the range exhibited during the latter half of the second quarter of 2007, with
the potential for a modest rise from quarter-end levels. This, coupled with a
growing DIF investment portfolio balance, should lead to increased interest
revenue over the long run.

•

Approximately $467 million was spent in the Ongoing Operations
component of the 2007 Corporate Operating Budget, which was $21
million (4 percent) below the budget for the six months ending June 30,
2007. The Outside Services - Personnel expense category was $10 million
below its year-to-date budget, and represents 47 percent of the total
Ongoing Operations variance.

•

Approximately $4 million was spent in the Receivership Funding
component of the 2007 Corporate Operating Budget, which was $33
million (88 percent) below the budget for the six months ending June 30,
2007. The Outside Services - Personnel expense category was $28 million
below its year-to-date budget, and represents 84 percent of the total
Receivership Funding variance.

I. Corporate Fund Financial Statement Results (See pages 8 - 9 for detailed data and charts.)
Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF)
•

For the six months ending June 30, 2007, DIF’s comprehensive income totaled $1.1 billion
compared to $967 million for the same period last year, an increase of 10 percent. Excluding
the recognition of exit fees earned of $346 million (a one-time adjustment), comprehensive
income rose by $441 million, or 71 percent, from a year ago. This year-over-year increase was
primarily due to a $222 million increase in assessment revenue, a $172 million increase in
interest revenue, a $53 million decrease in the unrealized loss on AFS securities, and a $24
million increase in the negative provision for insurance loss.

•

During the second quarter of 2007, DIF recorded a $139 million receivable for estimated net
assessments due from insured institutions for second quarter 2007 insurance coverage. The
receivable was the result of netting $789 million in credits estimated to be used by financial
institutions against $928 million in estimated gross assessment revenue. In June, DIF also
collected $94 million in cash assessment payments for first quarter insurance coverage.

•

During the second quarter of 2007, DIF’s net receivables from resolutions declined by $124
million, or 29 percent, to $307 million compared to the prior quarter. This reduction was
primarily due to dividends from receiverships totaling approximately $122 million ($108
million from Southern Pacific and $14.5 million from Nextbank).

FSLIC Resolution Fund (FRF)
•

FRF’s net loss was $22 million for the second quarter of 2007 compared to a $19 million loss
incurred during the first quarter of 2007. The additional loss is primarily due to an increase in
interest on U.S. Treasury obligations of $40 million offset by Goodwill/Guarini expenses of
$64 million.

•

During the second quarter of 2007, FRF paid $74.5 million for a Goodwill case. In addition,
FRF accrued expenses for three Goodwill cases which totaled $64.3 million. All of the Guarini
cases have been concluded. However, there are still issues pertaining to attorney fees pending
in several of those cases.

II. DIF Investment Results (See pages 10 – 11 for detailed data and charts.)
DIF
•

During the first half of 2007, the amortized cost (book value) of the DIF investment portfolio
increased by $1.084 billion or by 2.22 percent—from $48.858 billion on December 31, 2006, to
$49.942 billion on June 30, 2007. Moreover, during the period, the DIF portfolio’s market
value increased by $698 million or by 1.42 percent, from $49.038 billion on December 31,
2006, to $49.736 billion on June 30, 2007.

•

The DIF investment portfolio's total return for the first half of 2007 was 1.866 percent,
approximately 31.2 basis points higher than the return of the benchmark, the Merrill Lynch 1 10 Year U.S. Treasury Index (Index), which earned 1.554 percent during the same period. The
3

outperformance relative to the benchmark can be attributed to two factors: The strong
performance of the DIF investment portfolio’s Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS)
holdings, which outperformed the benchmark’s conventional securities during the six-month
period; and relatively high yields being earned on overnight investments, whose return also
exceeded the benchmark return.
•

During the second quarter of 2007, staff purchased Treasury securities on seven occasions,
purchasing a total of 15 conventional Treasury securities. The purchased securities had a total
par value of $5.400 billion, a weighted average maturity of 9.70 years, a weighted average
duration of 6.96 years, and a weighted average yield-to-maturity of 4.95 percent. Consistent
with the approved second quarter 2007 investment strategy, one short-term Treasury note, with
a maturity of 1.87 years, was designated as AFS. The other 14 securities, with maturities
ranging from 7.94 years to 11.84 years, were designated as held-to-maturity (HTM). The total
cash outlay for the securities was $6.407 billion. On June 30, 2007, the DIF portfolio’s
overnight investment balance was $978.2 million, which is above the fund’s $150 million
target floor balance. Staff continued its recent practice of holding excess funds in higher
yielding overnight investments as a reasonable short term investment strategy. That said, the
June 30, 2007, overnight investment balance was substantially lower than the March 31, 2007,
overnight balance of $3.709 billion, meaning that staff purchased a larger amount of Treasury
securities compared to the amount of net cash received during the quarter, taking advantage of
the comparatively high Treasury market yields that became available during much of the latter
half of the quarter.

•

In line with consensus expectations, yields should continue to trade generally within their
current range, but with the potential for a modest rise from quarter-end levels. Similar to the
strategy employed during the second quarter, during the third quarter of 2007 staff will take
advantage of instances when yields rise toward the upper end of this trading range and
accordingly would deploy funds into longer-maturity higher-yielding securities.

The Treasury Market
•

During the second quarter of 2007, most conventional Treasury yields increased. The yield
changes appeared to primarily stem from investors’ concerns that stronger global economic
growth may increase inflationary pressures, thus leading to higher global interest rates. During
the quarter, yields on three-month and six-month T-Bills decreased; the T-Bill yield declines
were the one exception to the general observation noted above. (The yield decline on T-Bill
apparently stemmed from technical factors, such as supply and demand factors, rather than
fundamental factors). The two-year note yield, which is sensitive to actual as well as
anticipated changes in the federal funds rate, increased by 29 basis points during the second
quarter, reflecting reduced expectations by most market participants for any federal funds rate
cuts later this year. Intermediate-maturity Treasury yields also increased, with the five-year
Treasury note yield increasing 39 basis points and the ten-year note yield increasing 38 basis
points. The Treasury yield curve ended the second quarter still relatively flat; on June 30,
2007, the ten-year to two-year yield curve spread was a positive 16 basis points (compared to a
positive seven-basis point spread at end of the first quarter of 2007). From a recent historical
perspective, the curve remains significantly flatter; over the past five years, this spread has
averaged 114 basis points.

4

•

During the second quarter of 2007, TIPS real yields increased, reflecting concerns over
stronger global economic growth and correspondingly higher global interest rates. For
example, the real yield on the DIF portfolio’s shortest-maturity TIPS (with a maturity of under
one year) increased by 182 basis points during the quarter, while the real yield on the DIF
portfolio’s longest-maturity TIPS (with a maturity of a little under five years) increased by 58
basis points. The real yield on the ten-year TIPS maturing on January 15, 2017, increased by
45 basis points.

Prospective Strategies
•

The current DIF investment strategy provides the flexibility to purchase a wide range of
different Treasury securities with varying maturities, depending on Treasury market conditions
and developments during the third quarter of 2007. From a longer-term investment
perspective, purchasing primarily longer-maturity securities could make sense in light of
current and expected near-term market conditions. Thus, similar to the strategy implementation
during the second quarter, if higher yields become available—either as a result of a modest
upward shift in the yield curve or because of potential yield volatility—the third quarter 2007
strategy allows for purchasing comparatively higher-yielding, longer-maturity Treasury
securities.

•

The DIF portfolio’s primary reserve target floor balance will remain at $10 billion for the third
quarter of 2007. The TIPS target limit will also remain at $10 billion, while the AFS security
target limit is being increased from $9.0 billion to $9.5 billion, to ensure that the primary
reserve target floor balance can be maintained during the remainder of the year (see attached
Approved Investment Strategy).

III. Budget Results (See pages 12 - 13 for detailed data.)
Approved Budget Modifications
During the second quarter of 2007, two modifications were made to the 2007 Corporate Operating
Budget and/or authorized staffing, in accordance with the authority delegated by the Board of
Directors in the 2007 Budget Resolution:
•

The Division of Information Technology (DIT) made numerous reallocations of its
existing operating budget among the major expense categories in accordance with Boarddelegated authority. However, the net budget change was less than $1 million to any
major expense category. The budget reallocation involved multiple Information
Technology (IT) projects in accordance with CIO Council recommendations or internal
DIT operations requirements. The budget for midrange software computer support was
increased by $2.2 million (including $972,800 for the JAVA Unix environment). These
reallocations resulted in no net change to the total approved DIT budget.

•

A reallocation was made to the operating budgets of all divisions and most offices to
properly classify the funds projected to be needed for tuition, fees, and travel associated
with the new Professional Learning Accounts (PLA) program. This reallocation will allow
us to monitor PLA program utilization and it did not increase or decrease the budgeted
5

amounts for the program or the overall ongoing operations budget for any division or
office.
Status of Spending for the Implementation of Deposit Insurance Reform
The 2007 Corporate Operating Budget approved by the Board of Directors included funding for
the continued implementation of Deposit Insurance Reform. Excluding internal salaries and
compensation expenses, $4.9 million was spent on system changes and $1.8 million was spent on
printing and distribution costs in 2006. Through the second quarter of 2007, an additional $3.0
million (excluding internal salaries and compensation expenses) was spent as follows:
•

Approximately $2.5 million was spent for system development and enhancement
activities. In addition, about $0.6 million was approved by the Change Control Board for
additional work that will be undertaken later in the year. A total of $4.7 million is
budgeted in 2007 for systems work related to deposit insurance reform implementation.

•

Approximately $525 thousand was spent for printing and distribution of updated deposit
insurance brochures during the first half of 2007. It is anticipated that up to an additional
$675 thousand will be spent revising the Spanish, Korean, and Chinese versions of
Insuring Your Deposits and Your Insured Deposits brochures during 2007.

No funds have yet been spent in 2006 or through June 30, 2007 for the additional staff in the
Division of Insurance and Research (DIR) that the Board authorized to support deposit insurance
pricing. DIR has selected two new employees for these positions who will start in July.
Spending Variances
Significant spending variances by major expense category and division/office are discussed
below. Significant spending variances for the six months ending June 30, 2007, are defined as
those that either (1) exceed the YTD budget by $2 million and represent more than three percent
of the major expense category or total division/office budget; or (2) are under the YTD budget by
$3 million and represent more than five percent of the major expense category or total
division/office budget.
Significant Spending Variances by Major Expense Category
Ongoing Operations
There was only one major expense category in which a significant spending variance occurred
through the second quarter in the Ongoing Operations component of the Corporate Operating
Budget:
•

Outside Services-Personnel expenditures were $10 million, or 14 percent, less than
budgeted. A large portion of this variance was due to lower-than-anticipated spending by
DIT on system operations, development, and maintenance through the first half of the year.
However, current plans to expedite development activities and increase contractual services,
along with a 7 percent Information Technology Applications Services (ITAS) labor rate
increase that became effective in May, are expected to absorb the DIT variance by year-end.
Other factors that contributed to the variance included lower-than-budgeted spending for
6

government litigation being handled by the Department of Justice, delays in initiating the
Identity Theft consumer education campaign, and postponement of the Shared National
Credit Modernization initiative until 2008.
Receivership Funding
The Receivership Funding component of the Corporate Operating Budget includes budgeted
funding for non-personnel expenses that are incurred in conjunction with an institution failure and
the management and disposition of the assets and liabilities of the ensuing receivership. There
was one major expense category in which a significant spending variance occurred through the
second quarter in the Receivership Funding component of the Corporate Operating Budget:
• Outside Services-Personnel expenditures were $28 million, or 91 percent, less than
budgeted, primarily due to the limited receivership and resolution activity that occurred
through the second quarter.
Significant Spending Variances by Division/Office 1
There were three divisions that had a significant spending variance through the second quarter of
2007:
•

The Division of Resolutions and Receiverships (DRR) spent $27 million, or 54 percent, less
than budgeted. This variance was fully attributable to under spending in the Receivership
Funding component of DRR’s operating budget due to the limited receivership and
resolution activity that occurred through the second quarter.

• The DIT spent $11 million, or 11 percent, less than budgeted. Approximately $4.4 million
of the variance occurred in the Ongoing Operations component of the Corporate Operating
Budget and reflected lower-than-budgeted expenses during the first six months of the year
for contractor services related to systems operations, development, and maintenance as well
as the inability to fill personnel vacancies as planned. These budget variances were
partially offset by Microsoft maintenance costs realized in June but budgeted in July.
DIT’s spending from the Investment Budget was $6.5 million less than anticipated, largely
because a major software purchase planned for the Claims Administration System (CAS)
investment project was delayed.
•

1

The Legal Division spent nearly $10 million, or 21 percent, less than budgeted. This
variance was largely attributable to under spending in the Receivership Funding component
of its operating budget, primarily due to the limited receivership and resolution activity that
occurred through the second quarter.

Information on division/office variances reflects variances in both the Corporate Operating and Investment Budgets.

Primary Reserve is the total market value (including accrued interest) of overnight investments, available-for-sale securities,
and held-to-maturity securities maturing within three months.

2

The benchmark is the total return of the Merrill Lynch 1-10 Year U.S. Treasury Index.

3

The Yield-to-Maturity includes the potential yield of Treasury Inflation-Protected securities (TIPS), which assumes an average
2.2% annual increase in the CPI over the remaining life of each TIPS.
4

For each TIPS, an estimated 80% "yield beta" factor is applied to its real yield duration to arrive at an estimated effective
duration.

Due to the short-term nature of the NLF, the portfolio's Book and Market Values are identical for reporting purposes.

Much of the significant decline occurred at the end of the second quarter of 2007 as a result of a large receivership dividend
payment.
