Seidman Refutes Misinformation
• on Strength of FDIC Fund
OTING that some commenta­
N
tors are making inaccurate
com parisons
between
the
Federal Deposit
Insurance Cor­
poration and the
Federal Savings
and Loan In ­
surance Corporation,
FDIC
Chairman Wil­
liam Seidm an
L.W. SEIDMAN
r e s p o n d e d on
u!une 8 to a recent article that ques­
tioned the FDIC’s viability.
In remarks to the Citicorp Con­
sumer Banking Group in Washing­
ton, D.C., Chairman Seidman said
an article by the Director of Re­
search of the U.S. League of Savings
Institutions “is way off base" in
analyzing the costs of handling
banking problems in Texas and the
strength of the FDIC fund.
Chairman Seidman noted that the
FDIC received a clean GAO audit
for 1987, which concluded the fund
had a net worth of $18.3 billion, a
modest increase of roughly $50 mil­
lion over the previous year. “As I
have noted earlier, based on current
estimates of loss in 1988, we may ex­
perience a modest loss in the fund in
1988,” said Mr. Seidman.

“The League article, on the other
hand, states that the FDIC will lose
$7.4 billion to $14.8 billion on First
Republic, MCorp, First City, Texas
American Bancshares, National
Bancshares Corp. and BancTexas.
That loss estimate was reached
by applying inaccurate cost per­
centages to wrong asset totals. This
is an exercise in playing with the
num bers th a t is affirm atively
misleading.
“This analysis ignores several im­
portant points. First of all, First Ci­
ty and BancTexas were dealt with
last year, and the cost already has
been charged against income in
1987. And we still made money that
year.
“As for the FDIC’s cost, First Ci­
ty and BancTexas cost the FDIC
fund less than half the League’s
estimate.”
Chairman Seidman went on to
note that there are signs of modest
improvement in the banking in­
dustry in the southwest, and that
the FDIC’s problem bank list has
dropped below 1,500 for the first
time since January 1987. He said it
is likely that the worst banking pro­
blems in the southwest will be
behind us after 1988.
Mr. Seidman noted that banks in
Texas earned .53 percent on assets

June 20,1988

in 1987, before loan loss provisions
and taxes. That means, he noted,
that in the aggregate they earned
enough to cover interest expenses
and operating costs, which gives
them the ability to last until the real
estate market improves. By com­
parison, he pointed out, thrifts in
Texas lost 3.1 percent on operations.
In addition, Mr. Seidman said even
the unprofitable Texas banks earned
enough to cover their operating ex­
penses.
Concluded Mr. Seidman: “The
bottom line is that contrary to inac­
curate estimates, the FDIC has the
resources necessary to handle all the
problems it presently can fore­
see.”

SHORTCUTS
CAN LEAD
YOUR BANK
TO A
DEAD END

Over the years, United Missouri Bank
has seen a lot of banks come and go. Many of
the failures and close calls have been in the
Midwest, with some banks turning to unproven, high yielding investments to boost earnings
quickly. It’s a tempting shortcut that hasn’t
worked out. Because the market has moved
in unexpected fashion, many of these volatile
or unproven investments have brought

disastrous results to the banks that reached for
the extra margin.
Since 1928, United Missouri Bank has
researched, analyzed and offered only top qual­
ity securities and investment strategies. We’ve
helped financial institutions build profitable
investment portfolios. C ontact our Investment
Banking Division at 556-7200. We’ll help you
move in the right direction.
