SUBJECT:

Third Quarter 2007 CFO Report to the Board

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

The Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) remained financially sound and exhibited healthy earnings
during the first three quarters of 2007. The fund balance grew by one percent to $51.754
billion during the third quarter of 2007. DIF’s comprehensive income grew by $527 million
during the third quarter of 2007, increasing the year-to-date (YTD) comprehensive income to
$1.589 billion. Comprehensive income for the third quarter 2007 is primarily composed of
interest earned on investment securities of $640 million, assessment revenue of $170 million,
an increase in the unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities (AFS) of $68 million, which
was offset by $243 million incurred in operating expenses and a $132 million change in the
provision for insurance losses largely due to the failure of NetBank of Alpharetta, Georgia.

•

On September 28, 2007, the Office of Thrift Supervision closed NetBank of Alpharetta,
Georgia and named the FDIC as receiver. In September, DIF recorded a liability for the
estimated pending depositor claims and an offsetting receivable from the receivership for the
estimated subrogated claim (reflecting the estimated insured deposits including brokered
deposits) of $1.834 billion. In addition, an allowance for loss of $108 million was recorded
against the resolution receivable.

•

For the nine months ending September 30, 2007, Corporate Operating and Investment Budget
related expenditures ran below budget by 13 percent and 15 percent, respectively. The variance
with respect to the Corporate Operating Budget expenditures was primarily the result of limited
resolutions and receivership activity in the Receivership Funding component of the budget
through the third quarter of 2007. Detailed quarterly reports are provided separately to the
Board by the Capital Investment Review Committee for those information technology projects
that are included in the Investment Budget.

Trends and Outlook
Comments
On September 28, 2007, NetBank was closed by the Office of Thrift
Supervision and the FDIC was named receiver. As of September 30,
the DIF estimated that the pending insured deposit claim liability would
total $1.834 billion. Coupled with an initial loss estimate of $108
million, the projected net receivable from NetBank is $1.726 billion as
of the end of the third quarter 2007. This net receivable estimate should
decline as significant liquidation activity occurs during the fourth
quarter of 2007.
Of the $2.237 billion in total assets at inception, ING Bank purchased
$464 million, while the FDIC retained $1.773 billion of assets, mainly
comprising real estate loans, lease receivables, and a mortgage
subsidiary. In October 2007, the receivership sold approximately $627
million in real estate loans and $439 million in lease receivables; this
brings the remaining NetBank asset book value to $707 million.
Of the $1.834 billion in estimated insured deposits, ING Bank assumed
insured deposits of $1.374 billion and FDIC retained $460 million in
brokered deposits. The DIF expects to complete the funding of the
insured brokered deposits by November 2007. Given the significant
proceeds received and anticipated asset sales, FDIC, as receiver for
NetBank, declared a 50 percent dividend in September 2007. This will
reduce the DIF’s net receivable from $1.726 billion to approximately
$800 million during the fourth quarter. Further reductions will be made
as liquidation proceeds are recovered and dividends paid to claimants
over the next several months.

II. Investments

•

DIF investment portfolio’s amortized cost (book value) increased by
three percent during the first nine months of 2007, and totaled $50.562
billion on September 30, 2007. During the period, newly purchased
securities had slightly higher average yields than those of maturing
securities. Consequently, the DIF portfolio’s yield increased by three
basis points during the first nine months of 2007, rising to 4.92 percent
as of September 30, 2007, from 4.89 percent as of December 31, 2006.

•

Expectations are for Treasury market yields to initially trend lower,
with the potential to rise from current levels over the course of the
fourth quarter. Notwithstanding the recent lower trend in such Treasury
yields, the growing DIF investment portfolio balance should lead to
increased interest revenue over the long run.

Trends and Outlook
Comments
Approximately $717 million was spent in the Ongoing Operations
component of the 2007 Corporate Operating Budget, which was $55
million (7 percent) below the budget for the nine months ending
September 30, 2007. The Outside Services - Personnel expense
category was $28 million below its year-to-date budget, and represented
51 percent of the total Ongoing Operations variance.
Approximately $6 million was spent in the Receivership Funding
component of the 2007 Corporate Operating Budget, which was $50
million (89 percent) below the budget for the nine months ending
September 30, 2007. The Outside Services - Personnel expense
category was $42 million below its year-to-date budget, and represented
84 percent of the total Receivership Funding variance.

I. Corporate Fund Financial Statement Results (See pages 10 - 11 for detailed data and charts.)
DIF
•

For the nine months ending September 30, 2007, DIF’s comprehensive income totaled $1.589
billion compared to $1.395 billion for the same period last year, an increase of 14 percent.
Excluding the recognition of exit fees earned of $345 million (a one-time adjustment),
comprehensive income rose by $539 million, or 51 percent, from a year ago. This year-overyear increase was primarily due to a $190 million increase in interest revenue, a $382 million
increase in assessment revenue, a $139 million decrease in the unrealized loss on AFS
securities, offset by a $27 million increase in operating expenses and a $157 million increase in
the provision for insurance losses.

•

During the third quarter of 2007, DIF’s YTD provision for insurance losses increased by $132
million to $56 million primarily due to an $83 million increase in the estimated loss for the
NetBank failure and a $64 million increase in the contingent loss reserve for anticipated
failures.

FSLIC Resolution Fund (FRF)
•

FRF reported net income of $39 million for the third quarter of 2007, decreasing the YTD net
loss to $2 million. Net income for the quarter included: 1) interest on U.S. Treasury obligations
of $39 million; 2) tax benefit recoveries of $4 million; and 3) an expense of $11 million to fund
the fiscal year 2008 goodwill expenses of the Department of Justice (which was paid on
October 1, 2007).

•

During the third quarter of 2007, FRF paid $46 million for two Goodwill cases (which were
accrued for as of June 30, 2007), bringing the total year-to-date litigation expenses to $179
million.

3

•

Subsequent to quarter-end, FRF paid $225 million to the Resolution Funding Corporation
(REFCORP) on October 10, 2007, bringing total payments to REFCORP to $4.8 billion. The
most recent prior payment to REFCORP was made on April 10, 2003 for $50 million.
The FDIC must transfer to the REFCORP the net proceeds from the sale of FRF-RTC assets
(once all liabilities of the FRF-RTC have been provided for) to pay the interest on REFCORP
bonds, which were issued to fund early Resolution Trust Corporation resolutions. Any such
payments benefit the U.S. Treasury, which would otherwise be obligated to pay the interest on
the bonds.

II. DIF Investment Results (See pages 12 – 13 for detailed data and charts.)
•

During the first nine months of 2007, the amortized cost (book value) of the DIF investment
portfolio increased by $1.704 billion or by three percent—from $48.858 billion on December
31, 2006, to $50.562 billion on September 30, 2007. Moreover, during the period, the DIF
portfolio’s market value increased by $2.322 billion or by five percent, from $49.038 billion on
December 31, 2006, to $51.360 billion on September 30, 2007.

•

The DIF investment portfolio's total return for the first nine months of 2007 was 5.134 percent,
approximately the same as its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch 1 - 10 Year U.S. Treasury Index
(Index), which earned 5.139 percent during the same period.

•

During the third quarter of 2007, staff purchased just one conventional Treasury security. This
newly purchased held-to-maturity (HTM) security had a par value of $400 million, a maturity
of 12.00 years, a modified duration of 8.22 years, and a yield-to-maturity of 4.87 percent. The
total cash outlay for this high coupon security was $517 million. On September 30, 2007, the
DIF portfolio’s overnight investment balance was $2.850 billion, well above its $150 million
target floor balance. Consistent with the approved third quarter Corporate investment strategy,
staff deferred purchases of Treasury securities not only in light of comparatively low Treasury
yields available during much of the quarter, but more importantly, to build up liquidity for the
anticipated NetBank resolution. (This fairly large bank failure occurred on September 28,
2007, with significant resolution funding occurring in October 2007.)

The Treasury Market
•

During the third quarter of 2007, conventional Treasury yields decreased substantially,
particularly on the short end of the yield curve, reflecting the 50 basis point cut in the federal
funds target rate that occurred on September 18, 2007, and reflecting market sentiment for
additional cuts in the target rate during the last quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008.
During the quarter, yields on three-month and six-month T-Bills decreased by 100 basis points
and 86 basis points, respectively. The two-year note yield, which is also sensitive to actual as
well as anticipated changes in the federal funds rate, decreased by 88 basis points, again,
reflecting the aforementioned 50 basis point cut in the target rate and reflecting expectations for
additional target rate cuts. Intermediate-maturity Treasury yields also decreased over the
course of the quarter, although not surprisingly, the yield declines were more modest, as is
often the case when an expected series of interest rate cuts is initiated. The yield on the fiveyear Treasury note decreased by 68 basis points. The yield on the ten-year Treasury note
decreased by 43 basis points. It should be noted that most of the decrease in yields occurred
4

between mid-July and the early part of September; towards the latter half of September, yields
on intermediate- to longer-maturity securities actually started to modestly increase as investors
unwound some earlier so-called “flight to quality” trades. The conventional Treasury yield
curve steepened during the third quarter of 2007; on September 30, 2007, the two-year to tenyear yield curve had a 61-basis point positive spread (compared to a modestly positive 16-basis
point spread at the beginning of the quarter). Nevertheless, the Treasury yield curve still
remains flatter from a recent historical perspective; over the past five years, this spread has
averaged 106 basis points.
•

During the third quarter of 2007, most Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities’ (TIPS) real
yields decreased, reflecting lower actual and anticipated interest rates and concerns over weak
economic growth. However, the real yield on the DIF portfolio’s shortest-maturity TIPS (with
a maturity of just over three months at the end of the quarter) increased by 50 basis points
during the quarter.1 The real yield on the portfolio’s longest-maturity TIPS (with a maturity of
a little over four years) decreased by 50 basis points. The real yield on the 10-year TIPS
maturing on January 15, 2017, decreased by 36 basis points.

Prospective Strategies
•

The current DIF investment strategy provides for purchasing AFS conventional Treasury
securities with maturities of six years or less, for purchasing AFS TIPS, and for holding excess
overnight investments, depending on Treasury market conditions and developments during the
fourth quarter of 2007.

•

The DIF portfolio’s primary reserve balance is being increased, with a goal of reaching a $15
billion target floor balance over the near term. Any securities purchased during the fourth
quarter will be designated AFS. (See attached Approved Investment Strategy.)

Other Matters
•

Effective September 30, 2007, the FDIC and the U.S. Treasury’s Federal Financing Bank
(FFB) entered into an agreement to extend the FDIC’s existing $40 billion line of credit with
the FFB for an additional one-year period through September 30, 2008.

III. Budget Results (See pages 14 - 15 for detailed data.)
Approved Budget and Staffing Modifications
All divisions and offices completed a mid-year review of their 2007 operating budgets in July,
including assessments of YTD spending and projected funding requirements for the remainder of
the year. Based on that review, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) approved reallocations among
the operating budgets of several divisions and offices, in accordance with the authority delegated
by the Board of Directors in the 2007 Budget Resolution. In addition, funds were realigned
internally within the operating budgets of several organizations. None of these realignments
1

Very short-maturity TIPS can have dramatic changes in real yields stemming from very near-term inflation expectations.
Consequently, it is not unusual for very short-maturity TIPS’ real yields, which are quoted on an annual basis, to exhibit dramatic swings
as they approach maturity.

5

changed the total 2007 Corporate Operating Budget, but they did result in changes in the amounts
budgeted for most major expense categories:
•

At the corporate level, the budgets for the Travel and Other Expense categories were
increased, the budget for the Buildings category was unchanged, and the budgets for the
remaining expense categories were decreased. Funding for the approved budget increases
was made available from excess funding in the Salary and Compensation budgets of the
Legal Division, the Division of Information Technology (DIT), the Division of Insurance
and Research (DIR), and the Division of Resolutions and Receiverships (DRR).

•

The Corporate University (CU) budget was increased by over $4.4 million to pay for
salaries, travel, and other expenses for Corporate Employee Program (CEP) participants
and detailees from other FDIC organizations. Funding for the salaries and benefits of
detailees was originally budgeted in their home organizations. Funding had to be
increased for the CEP because a decision was made in early 2007 to hire more employees
than originally budgeted in order to fill examiner vacancies in the Division of Supervision
and Consumer Protection (DSC) more quickly. The funding for this increase was also
made available from excess funding in the Salary and Compensation budgets of the other
organizations referenced above.

•

Most of the funds included in the DSC budget for the interagency Shared National Credit
(SNC) Modernization Project were realigned from the Outside Services-Personnel
category to the Travel category to cover higher-than-expected travel costs for the
examination program. These funds were available for reallocation because the start of the
SNC Modernization Project was postponed until 2008.

•

The budgets for the Outside Services-Personnel and Equipment categories within the
internal operations portion of DIT’s budget were increased, while the budget for the
Outside Services-Other category was reduced. Within the systems development,
operations, and maintenance portion of the DIT budget, the budgets for the Outside
Services-Personnel and Outside Services-Other categories were increased, while the
budget for the Equipment category was reduced. The latter changes were made in
accordance with recommendations from the CIO Council.

The 2007 spending estimates for several multi-year Investment Budget projects were also updated
during the third quarter. In addition, the DIT Director in September approved the reallocation of
funds among several approved IT projects funded from DIT’s 2007 operating budget to reflect
changes in estimated project costs and schedules, in accordance with recommendations of the CIO
Council. These reallocations provided funding for the early start of three projects originally
planned to begin in 2008, but did not change the total amount of the DIT budget.
The CFO approved two changes in authorized staffing during the third quarter, in accordance with
authority delegated by the Board:
•

DIT’s authorized year-end 2007 staffing target was increased by two positions to correct
an error made in the Board case requesting approval of the 2007 budget in December
2006. As a result of the change, DIT’s year-end 2007 staffing target is now consistent
with its authorized staffing throughout 2007. There was no impact on DIT’s 2007
operating budget.
6

•

A request from the Office of the Inspector General to transfer one authorized 2007 position
to CU was approved. There was no impact on CU’s 2007 operating budget.

Status of Spending for the Implementation of Deposit Insurance Reform
The 2007 Corporate Operating Budget approved by the Board of Directors in December 2006
included funding for the continued implementation of Deposit Insurance Reform. Excluding
internal Salaries and Compensation expenses, $4.9 million was spent for this purpose in 2006 on
system changes, and $1.8 million was spent on printing and distribution costs. Through the third
quarter of 2007, an additional $3.9 million (excluding internal salaries and compensation
expenses) was spent as follows:
•

Approximately $3.4 million was spent for system development and enhancement
activities. It is anticipated that an additional $1.2 million will be spent in 2007 to complete
modifications to the Assessment Information Management System (AIMS) and the Risk
Related Premium System (RRPS). A total of $4.8 million is budgeted in 2007 for systems
work related to deposit insurance reform implementation.

•

Approximately $525,000 was spent for printing and distribution of updated deposit
insurance brochures through the third quarter of 2007. It is anticipated that up to an
additional $100,000 will be spent revising the English versions of Insuring Your Deposit
and Your Insured Deposit during 2007.

In addition, two new employees were hired in July by DIR to support deposit insurance pricing, as
authorized by the Board. The additional cost for these employees through September 30, 2007,
was about $85,000.
Spending Variances
Significant spending variances by major expense category and division/office are discussed
below. Significant spending variances for the nine months ending September 30, 2007, are
defined as those that either (1) exceed the YTD budget by $1 million and represent more than two
percent of the major expense category or total division/office budget; or (2) are under the YTD
budget by $2 million and represent more than four percent of the major expense category or total
division/office budget.
Significant Spending Variances by Major Expense Category
Ongoing Operations
There were four major expense categories in which a significant spending variance occurred
through the third quarter in the Ongoing Operations component of the 2007 Corporate Operating
Budget:
•

Outside Services-Personnel expenditures were $28 million, or 21 percent, less than
budgeted. The variance was largely due to lower-than-budgeted payments to the
Department of Justice for litigation services, delays in starting several IT projects, lower net
costs for the Student Residence Center (because of increased proceeds derived from outside
7

use of the facility), and lower-than-budgeted spending on human resource contractual
services.
•

Travel expenditures were $3 million, or 8 percent, less than budgeted. Overall corporate
travel costs were lower because staff from DRR participated in fewer compliance
examinations than projected and Dallas rotations for some CEP participants were
rescheduled to later in the year. In addition, lower-than-projected travel costs were incurred
for supervision, field oversight and litigation in the Legal Division.

•

Equipment expenditures were almost $3 million, or 9 percent, less than budgeted. A large
portion of this variance was because furniture, fixtures, and equipment purchases and
security equipment and software acquisitions originally budgeted in the first three quarters of
2007 were rescheduled to the fourth quarter.

• Other Expenses were $3 million, or 35 percent, less than budgeted. This variance was
largely due to the lack of spending by employees from their new Professional Learning
Accounts and the charging of a portion of the expenses for off-site conferences to the Travel
category rather than the Other Expenses category.
Receivership Funding
The Receivership Funding component of the Corporate Operating Budget includes budgeted
funding for overtime and 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 were three major expense categories in which a significant spending variance
occurred for the first nine months of the year in the Receivership Funding component of the
Corporate Operating Budget. All of these variances were attributable to the limited receivership
and resolution activity that occurred during the year. The major expense categories were:
•

Salary and Compensation2 ($2 million, or 86 percent, less than budgeted).

•

Outside Services-Personnel ($42 million, or 91 percent, less than budgeted).

•

Travel ($3 million, or 73 percent, less than budgeted).

Significant Spending Variances by Division/Office3
There were six organizations that had a significant spending variance through the third quarter:
•

DRR spent $40 million, or 55 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
third quarter.

2

Overtime is the only account budgeted in the Salary and Compensation expense category of the Receivership Funding
component of the Corporate Operating Budget in 2007. All staff salaries are budgeted and expensed in the Ongoing
Operations budget component.

3

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

8

•

The Legal Division spent nearly $14 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 third quarter.

•

DIT spent $12 million, or 8 percent, less than budgeted. Approximately one-half of the
variance occurred in the Outside Services-Personnel category of the Ongoing Operations
component of the Corporate Operating Budget and was caused by delays in systems
development, operations, and maintenance efforts. In addition, DIT had a larger-thananticipated number of personnel vacancies and filled its vacancies more slowly than
expected. Security equipment and software purchases were also rescheduled to the fourth
quarter.

•

The Division of Administration spent nearly $7 million, or 6 percent, less than budgeted.
This variance was largely attributable to (a) lower-than-anticipated net costs for the
Student Residence Center as a result of higher-than-projected proceeds received in
connection with use of the facility by outside parties, and (b) reduced spending for
compensation and consulting services on human resource matters.

•

DIR spent nearly $3 million, or 10 percent, less than budgeted. This variance was
attributable to the large number of budgeted positions that remain vacant and a significant
reduction in the FDIC’s share of the costs for enhancements to the Central Deposit
Repository under the cost sharing agreement with the other bank regulatory agencies.

•

CU spent $2 million, or 9 percent, less than budgeted. This variance was attributable to
delays in both the IT training and DRR commission initiatives and the re-scheduling of
Dallas rotations for some CEP participants to later in the year.

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.
