CHAIRM AN

July 18, 1969.

TO THE PRESIDENT OF EACH STATE MEMBER BANK
One of the principal supervisory goals in the continuing
program to improve bank accounting practices has been the develop­
ment of reasonably uniform and informative bank financial reports.
After extensive joint-agency staff discussions and a series of con­
sultations with representative committees of industry, professional
accountants, and the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
the Federal bank supervisory agencies announce the following revisions
to the structure of bank statements of income to be included in stock­
holder reports in accordance with Part 18 of the Comptroller of the
Currency regulations, Regulation F of the Federal Reserve Board and
Part 333 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulations.
1.

Recognition of a loan loss factor in the operating
expenses of banks. Any provision for loan losses
not allocable against current operations shall be
charged directly to the undivided profits account,

2.

Inclusion of results of investment security trans­
actions as realized in the report of income.

3.

Designation of the last line in the statement of
income as Mnet income."

Regulatory instruction for the allocation of loan losses
to operating expense will include:
(a)

Minimum charge equivalent to the five-year
average ratio of losses computed on the basis
of net charge-offs to total loans.

(b)

An added amount based on management's judgment
shall be permitted. Adequate disclosure of
such discretionary action to be furnished in a
referenced footnote.

(c)

If the bank is on a charge-off basis of recog­
nizing loan losses, the amount of actual chargeoffs shall be reported against operating income.

Conforming to established bank accounting practice and in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, gains and
losses on investment securities shall be reported following the com­
putation of operating income. Net security gains and losses shall
be reflected in income in the period such results are realized and
recorded in the accounts.
To visualize the effect of the revisions discussed herein
and to assist your staff in their study of the matter, there is
enclosed an illustrative financial statement presentation.
The above income report revisions shall be incorporated
in published bank reports for the year 1969. The statement of con­
dition as revised in the supervisory call of April 1969, has not
been changed. Amendments to applicable regulations including the
Report of Income and Dividends, will be forthcoming within the next
few months.
Sincerely,

)
