FCS Seeks Secondary Market Control
B y B E N H A L L E R , JR.
Publisher
FFORTS by the banking indus­
try and life insurance companies
to arrive at a workable plan for de­
veloping a national secondary mar­
ket for ag real estate loans were
dealt a severe setback when the
Farm Credit System finally threw
its proposal on the table last week.
The American Bankers Association,
the Independent Bankers Associa­
tion of America and life company
representatives had met with FCS
representatives for the past several
months trying to structure a suit­
able framework within which ag reed
estate loans could be funneled,
pooled and securitized through FCS’
present funding mechanism—The
Farm Credit System Funding Corp.
of New York.
The aim of this cooperative ven­
ture was to avoid the need for estab­
lishing another quasi public/private
organization to deal with such a
secondary market, and to use in­
stead that facility established by
FCS and to assure that private lend­
ers were not trying to exclude FCS.
Throughout this series of meetings,
FCS had no firm proposal of its own.
However, last week FCS laid a pro­
posal on the table totally counter to
the goals and good faith proposals

E

offered earlier by the other partici­
pants.
FCS’ proposal would basically
place FCS in charge of the complete
game, and mandate that any other
players would have to be certified
and supervised by FCS under its
rules and with a board of directors
controlled by FCS. In essence, the
FCS proposal would provide it a
fully-integrated govemment/private
corporation with new powers autho­
rizing it to sell, purchase and service
such securities under its own rules.
The FCS board would establish the
conditions and procedures by which
non-system lenders could be in­
volved.
Since the Administration, and
probably the Congress, is not inter­
ested in chartering any new quasi
public bodies, the banking and life
insurance industries sought a Ginnie Mae type of approach with low
overhead and few employees to have
a streamlined organization. By con­
trast, the FCS proposal would create
a much larger new organization of
the Fannie Mae type. In addition, it
proposes a nine-member board made
up of six from the FCS and three
non-member system directors.
Further, the six FCS directors
would elect the three interim non­
system directors, and then the FCS
controlled board would eventually
decide when the other players in the

game had enough knowledge to elect
their own three representatives!
By contrast, the IB A A proposal
suggests a nine-member b oard three from FCS, three from other
lenders, and three from the public
sector.
The A B A proposal would have a
15-member board—six appointed by
the shareholders from among the
originators and poolers of the loans
and securities, six appointed by the
FCS and three appointed by the
President of the United States.
The major question is, who will
control the structure? FCS wants
near total control.
While the proposal discussed for
several months has centered on
securitization of ag real estate loans,
FCS’ proposal would expand this by
allowing FCS to include its operat­
ing loans and housing loans (the lat­
ter being 8% of FCS’ portfolio)
through these securitized loans.
The FCS proposal went to A B A
the IB A A and life company repre­
sentatives, but not to the Farm
Credit Administration, which now
supervises the FCS. The FCS propo­
sal has been termed unacceptable by
the other players and will be dis­
cussed late this week.
It is possible that Sen. Boren (D.,
Okla.) could bring up this subject as
part of the subcommittee on ag
credit, of which he is chairman,
figuring this would be a starting
point for hammering out a suitable
agreement on such a secondary mar­
ket concept.

Lodge Bank and Trust had assets of
approximately $14.8 million. Peo­

million in 3,800 deposit accounts.
Additionally, the bank will purchase
certain of the failed bank’s loans and
other assets with a book value of
$12.7 million at a discount of $1,
899,000. The transaction will result
in a substantially lower cost to the
FDIC than if these assets were held
and liquidated in receivership. The
FDIC will retain assets of the failed
bank with a book value of about $2.1
million. The FDIC Board of Direc­
tors approved the deposit assump­
tion under its authority to do so
whenever it determines that such a
transaction will reduce the potential
loss to the FDIC. This is the first
time a failed bank has been dealt
with in this fashion.

will assume about $5.9 million in
1,200 deposits accounts and will pay
the FDIC a purchase premium of
$65,400. I t will also purchase certain
of the failed bank’s loans and other
assets for $4.0 million. To facilitate
the transaction, the FDIC will ad­
vance about $2.0 million to the as­
suming bank and will retain assets
of the failed bank with a book value
of about $2.2 million. The FDIC
board approved the deposit assump­
tion because the purchase premium
would reduce potential loss to the
FDIC. The FDIC will recover a por­
tion of its outlay through the liqui­
dation of assets not transferred to
the assuming bank. In this respect,
its claim will have priority over the
claims of shareholders of the closed
