Chicago Fed Says:

* Midwest Ag Banks Show Improvement
£ £ R J | ID W E S T a g r ic u ltu r a l
IV I banks, supported by the im0 proved farm economy, rebounded in
1987 from the poor performance of
past years,” states an article in the
Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s
July/August issue of Economic Per% spectives. But one of the article’s
authors, Chicago Fed Banking
Analysis Officer George Gregorash,
cautioned in a separate statement
that “the current drought condi• tions in the Midwest could make the
1987 gains short-lived.”
A t the same time, banks in the
Chicago Fed’s Seventh D istrict
reported higher profits in 1987, with
• the exclusion of the largest banks.
“In Iowa alone, the number of banks
with net losses decreased by 63 per­
cent,” according to the article
“Banking 1987: A year of reckon• mg.”
Co-authored by Mr. Gregorash
and Theresa Ford, industry analyst
at the Chicago Bank, the study
paints a less rosy picture for banks
• nationwide.
“Aggregate banking profitability
continued a decade-long decline that
has been interrupted only in 1985,”
the authors state, and the return on
• assets of 0.13 percent in 1987 for
U.S. commercial banks is “the

lowest rate of return since the Great
Depression.” Regional disparities
included net losses recorded by over
40 percent of banks in the South­
west, which more than offset the
Midwest ag bank gains. Persistent
problems with energy and real
estate loans were the primary contri­
butors to the Southwest banks’ poor
earnings.
Size was also a determinant of
profitability in 1987 with large
banks reporting greater profit
declines than smellier banks. “Pro­
fitability at community banks that
have less than $100 million in assets

rose, as measured by a return on
assets (ROA) of 0.57 percent in
1987, up from 0.50 in 1986. For
banks with $100 million to $1 billion
in assets, ROA remained flat at 0.68
percent,” Mr. Gregorash and Ms.
Ford write.
Overall, “credit quality was the
driving force behind earnings for all
sizes and sectors of U.S. banks in
1987,” the authors state.
While “ 1987 will go down as a
dismal year in the financial record
books . . . significant progress was
made in addressing fundamental
issues whose impact on the banking
industry will extend well beyond
this year of reckoning,” they con­
clude.

Bremer Foundation Divestiture Plan
RECENT ruling of the U.S.
Treasury Department confirms
A
a plan of the Otto Bremer Founda­
tion, St. Paul, Minn., by which it
would meet the divestiture re­
quirements of federal law. The law
requires all foundations to divest of
business holdings where ownership
exceeds a certain percentage. The
Otto Bremer Foundation, a private
charitable tru st and the sole owner
of the Bremer Financial Corpora­
tion, is required to reduce its owner­
ship in the Corporation to no more

than 50 percent by May 1, 1989.
Bremer Financial is a regional bank
holding company th at owns 25
banks and related financial services
in Minnesota, North Dakota and
Wisconsin. Its earnings represent
the Foundation’s principal source of
income for its grantmaking activi­
ties. Last year the Foundation
distributed over $3.25 million in
grants, prim arily to nonprofit
organizations serving rural com­
munities.
To meet the federal requirements

and secure its future grantmaking
ability by preserving the value of its
assets, the Foundation has been pur­
suing, for a number of years, various
ways of selling the stock it has in the
Corporation. The search for a buyer
was recently extended nationwide
with the passage of enabling legisla­
tion in each of the three states where
the Corporation owns banks. While
a sale of the Corporation remains an
alternative, the Treasury ruling
would allow a more orderly
divestiture and not require a forced
sale. Under the plan, the Foundation
would divest by converting a majori­
ty of its stock into nonvoting shares
and selling most of the voting shares
to employees of the company and its
affiliates. A reorganization of the

stock structure and the potential for
employee participation in ownership
represent an alternative divestiture
opportunity that the Foundation
will consider.
Details on the divestiture alter­
native have not been finalized. Com­
menting on the new option, Robert
J. Reardon, a trustee of the Founda­
tion and the chairman and president
of Bremer Financial Corporation,
emphasized that the trustees of the
Foundation are committed to com­
pleting the divestiture process in a
manner that will result in the
greatest benefit to the charitable
organizations. “ Being able to
achieve this in partnership with the
employees of the Bremer companies
is a very positive development for
the Foundation and the communi­
ties it serves.”

After the surprise presentation in
