Quarterly Banking Profile: Fourth Quarter 2011

FDIC-insured institutions reported an aggregate profit of $26.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011, a $4.9 

billion improvement from the $21.4 billion in net income the industry reported in the fourth quarter of 2010. 

This is the tenth consecutive quarter that earnings have registered a year-over-year increase. Lower provisions 

for loan losses, reflecting an improving trend in asset quality, were responsible for most of the year-over-year 

improvement in earnings. See page 1.

Insurance Fund Indicators

Estimated insured deposits (based on $250,000 coverage) increased by 3.1 percent during the fourth quarter 

of 2011. The Deposit Insurance Fund reserve ratio was 0.13 percent on December 31, 2011, up from 0.12 

percent at September 30, 2011, and -0.12 percent four quarters earlier. Eighteen FDIC-insured institutions 

failed during the quarter. See page 15.
The FDIC Celebrates 25 Years of the 

Quarterly Banking Profile

For the past 25 years, the FDIC’s Quarterly Banking Profile (QBP) 

has chronicled the changing fortunes of the U.S. banking system. 

Whether the industry was in crisis or reporting record profits, the 

publication has remained a consistent scorecard and a gateway for 

public access to reliable information on banking.

Before 1987, the only regular FDIC publication with banking industry 

data was the FDIC Annual Report. But amid the banking crisis of the 1980s, then-Chairman 

L. William Seidman launched an effort to provide the public with more detailed and current 

information about the state of the industry. First published in March 1987, the QBP was envisioned as a tool to help reduce uncertainty about the condition and performance of commercial banks and to preserve and enhance public confidence in the banking system.

The QBP has changed significantly during its 25-year history. Initially just four pages long, 

the QBP provided analysis on just commercial banks, by size and location. By the early 1990s, 

when the FDIC received new responsibilities for insuring thrift institution deposits, information on savings institutions was added to the analysis. In the mid-1990s, the FDIC began 

publishing the QBP on the Internet, dramatically expanding public access to the data. At 

about this time, trends in the FDIC deposit insurance program were added to the QBP, and 

the agency began producing a companion publication—the QBP Graph Book.

In 2002, as the substantive difference between commercial banks and savings institutions 

became even less apparent, the QBP began the practice of combining data from insured 

commercial banks and savings institutions into a single industry analysis. At the same time, 

because of the increased importance of specialized charters, the QBP began to include 

comparative groupings based on business line concentrations. During the recent financial 

crisis, the QBP added information about the FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program. 

There is little doubt that the next 25 years will continue to bring important changes to the 

banking industry. As these changes unfold, the public can continue to rely on the QBP as the 

authoritative source for timely data and analysis on banking industry trends.

Quarterly Banking Profile Fourth Quarter 2011

Quarterly Net Income Posts Tenth Consecutive 

Year-Over-Year Gain

Lower provisions for loan losses, reflecting an improving 

trend in asset quality, lifted fourth-quarter net income 

of FDIC-insured commercial banks and savings institutions. Fourth-quarter earnings totaled $26.3 billion, an 

increase of $4.9 billion (23.1 percent) compared with 

the same period of 2010. The year-over-year improvement in profits comprised a majority of insured institutions. Almost two out of every three banks (63.2 

percent) reported higher quarterly net income than a 

year ago, and only 18.9 percent were unprofitable, 

compared with 27.1 percent in fourth quarter 2010. 

The average return on assets (ROA) rose to 0.76 

percent, from 0.64 percent a year earlier.

Earnings Benefit Further from Lower Provisions 

for Loan Losses

Insured institutions set aside $19.5 billion in provisions 

for loan losses in the fourth quarter, a decline of $13.1 

billion (40.1 percent) from fourth quarter 2010. Provisions represented 12.1 percent of the industry’s net 

operating revenue (the sum of net interest income and 

total noninterest income), down from 19.7 percent a 

year ago, and well below the 51.7 percent peak level in 

this cycle registered in fourth quarter 2008. Loss provisions have fallen, year over year, for nine consecutive 

quarters. The trend of reduced provisioning was relatively broad: more than half of all institutions (54.6 

percent) reported lower quarterly provisions than a 

year ago.

Overall Revenues Continue to Exhibit Weakness

For the third time in the last four quarters, net operating revenue posted a year-over-year decline. The $3.8 

billion (2.3 percent) drop was caused by a $4.4 billion 

(7.4 percent) reduction in noninterest income. Gains 

on loan sales were $1.9 billion (53 percent) below the 

level of a year ago, servicing income was $1.4 billion 

(29.9 percent) lower, and trading income fell by $812 

million (23.5 percent). Increases in the market values 

of some large bank liabilities produced accounting losses 

in the fourth quarter that reversed some of the related 

gains in noninterest income that occurred in third quarter 2011.1

 Net interest income increased year over year 

for the first time in four quarters, rising by $609 million 

(0.6 percent).

Full-Year Net Income Rises to Five-Year High

For all of 2011, net income totaled $119.5 billion, an 

increase of $34 billion (39.8 percent) from full-year 

2010 earnings. This is the highest annual net income 

total since the industry earned $145.2 billion in 2006. 

More than two out of every three banks (66.9 percent) 

reported improved earnings in 2011, and only 15.5 

percent reported a net loss for the year. In 2010, 22.1 

percent of all banks reported full-year net losses. The 

average ROA was 0.88 percent, up from 0.65 percent in 

2010. The improvement in full-year net income was 

made possible by an $81.1 billion reduction in loan loss 

provisions.

Notes to Users.

Full-Year Operating Revenues Are Lower than in 2010

Both net interest income and noninterest income were 

lower than in 2010, as full-year net operating revenue 

declined for only the second time since 1938 (the only 

other decline occurred in 2008). Net interest income 

posted its first full-year decline since 1971, falling by 

$7.5 billion (1.7 percent). The average net interest 

margin in 2011 was 3.6 percent, down from 3.76 

percent in 2010. Interest-bearing assets increased by 4.4 

percent in 2011, but more than a third of this growth 

(35.7 percent) consisted of low-yielding balances with 

Federal Reserve Banks. Total noninterest income fell 

for a second consecutive year and the fourth time in the 

last five years, declining by $5.3 billion (2.3 percent). 

Income from trust operations and trading income were 

higher than in 2010 (by $1.6 billion and $2.2 billion, 

respectively), but these improvements were outweighed 

by lower servicing income (down $8 billion), reduced 

gains on loan sales (down $4.8 billion), and lower 

income from service charges on deposit accounts, which 

fell by $2.1 billion (5.9 percent). Realized gains on 

securities and other assets were $3.6 billion (39.5 

percent) lower than in 2010. Insured institutions paid 

$77.9 billion in dividends during 2011, an increase of 

$24 billion (44.5 percent) from 2010, but below the 

record level of $110.3 billion paid out in 2007.

Loan Losses Fall to Lowest Level in 15 Quarters

Net charge-offs totaled $25.4 billion in the fourth quarter, a decline of $17.1 billion (40.2 percent) from a year 

ago. The fourth-quarter total represents the lowest level 

for quarterly charge-offs since first quarter 2008. This is 

the sixth consecutive quarter in which charge-offs have

billion. As has been the case throughout the recent 

period of reserve reductions, most of the declines have 

been concentrated among large institutions. Half of all 

banks increased their reserves during the fourth quarter, 

whereas 70 percent of the 50 largest banks reduced their 

reserves. The industry’s “coverage ratio” of reserves to 

noncurrent loans and leases declined slightly, from 63.7 

percent to 62.5 percent during the quarter. 

Equity Capital Registers a Small Decline

Lower unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities 

and other financial instruments contributed to a $7.7 

billion (0.5 percent) decline in the industry’s total 

equity capital during the fourth quarter. Unrealized 

gains are not included in regulatory capital, and tier 1 

leverage capital increased by $2.4 billion (0.2 percent). 

This is the smallest quarterly increase in leverage capital in the past 13 quarters. Retained earnings contributed $3.7 billion to capital growth in the quarter, as 

banks paid $22.6 billion of their $26.3 billion in quarterly earnings in dividends.

Loan Balances Post Largest Real Growth in Four Years

Total assets of insured institutions increased by $76.1 

billion (0.6 percent) in the fourth quarter, as loan 

balances rose by $130.1 billion (1.8 percent). This is 

the third consecutive quarter in which total loan 

balances have increased and, apart from first quarter 

2010 when accounting rule changes caused a $221 

billion increase in reported balances, it represents the 

largest quarterly increase since fourth quarter 2007.3

posted a year-over-year decline. Improvements occurred 

across all major loan types. The largest declines were in 

credit cards (down $5.4 billion, or 42.2 percent), real 

estate construction and land development loans (down 

$3.3 billion, or 62.4 percent), residential mortgage loans 

(down $2.4 billion, or 31.8 percent) and loans to 

commercial and industrial (C&I) borrowers (down $2 

billion, or 43.5 percent).

Noncurrent Loan Balances Decline in Most Major 

Loan Categories

The amount of loan balances that were noncurrent (90 

days or more past due or in nonaccrual status) declined 

for the seventh quarter in a row, falling by $4.3 billion 

(1.4 percent). The decline was led by real estate construction and land development loans, where noncurrent 

balances fell by $4.9 billion (13.2 percent), C&I loans, 

where noncurrents declined by $1.8 billion (9.5 percent), 

and nonfarm nonresidential real estate loans, where 

noncurrent balances fell by $1.6 billion (4 percent). The 

only significant increase in noncurrent loans occurred 

in residential mortgage portfolios, where noncurrent 

balances rose by $5.2 billion (3.1 percent). This increase 

reflected the addition of $6.3 billion in rebooked 

“GNMA loans” that were 90 days or more past due.2

Reductions in Reserves Continue to Track Declines 

in Noncurrent Loans

Loan-loss reserves fell for a seventh consecutive quarter, 

declining by $6.3 billion (3.2 percent), as net chargeoffs of $25.4 billion exceeded loss provisions of $19.5

loan balances back onto banks' balance sheets in the first quarter of 2010. Although the total 

amount consolidated cannot be precisely quantified, the industry would have reported a decline 

in loan balances for the quarter absent this change in accounting standards.

$183.2 billion (1.8 percent). Over the last six quarters, 

deposits at FDIC-insured institutions have risen by 

more than $1 trillion. Most of the growth has consisted 

of large-denomination noninterest-bearing transaction 

deposits that are fully insured until the end of 2012. 

Balances in these accounts increased by $191.2 billion 

(13.7 percent) during the fourth quarter, and totaled 

$1.58 trillion at the end of the year. In contrast, nondeposit liabilities declined by $99.5 billion (4.5 percent), 

while deposits in foreign offices fell by $66.6 billion 

(4.5 percent).

“Problem List” Shrinks for Third Consecutive Quarter

The number of institutions reporting financial results 

fell from 7,437 to 7,357 in the fourth quarter. During 

the quarter, 54 institutions were merged into other 

institutions, and 18 insured institutions failed. There 

were two institutions whose December financial reports 

had not been received at the time this publication was 

prepared. The number of institutions on the FDIC’s 

“Problem List” declined from 844 to 813 during the 

quarter, and total assets of “problem” institutions fell 

from $339 billion to $319.4 billion. For the full year, 

the number of reporting institutions declined by 301, 

as 3 new reporters were added, 92 institutions failed, 

and 198 were absorbed by mergers. During 2011, the 

number of full-time-equivalent employees at insured 

institutions increased from 2,088,579 to 2,107,976.

As in the prior two quarters, overall loan growth was 

led by C&I loans, which rose by $62.8 billion (4.9 

percent), accounting for almost half of the total 

increase in loans and leases during the quarter. C&I 

loans have increased in each of the last six quarters. 

Additionally, C&I loans to small businesses (C&I loans 

in original amounts of $1 million or less) increased by 

$2.8 billion (1 percent). This is the first time in the 

seven quarters for which data on quarterly changes in 

these loans are available that small C&I loan balances 

have increased. Residential mortgage loans increased by 

$26 billion (1.4 percent), following a $23.6 billion 

increase in the third quarter. Credit card balances 

posted a seasonal increase of $21.3 billion (3.2 percent). 

Real estate construction and development loans 

declined for a 15th consecutive quarter, falling by $14.7 

billion (5.8 percent). Investment securities portfolios 

increased by $61.6 billion (2.2 percent), with mortgagebacked securities rising by $45.0 billion (2.8 percent), 

and state, county, and municipal securities increasing 

by $13.3 billion (6.5 percent). Assets in trading 

accounts declined by $36 billion (4.8 percent), while 

interest-bearing balances due from depository institutions fell by $34.9 billion (3.3 percent).

Money Continues to Flow into Fully Insured 

Deposit Accounts 

Deposit balances registered strong growth for a sixth 

consecutive quarter, as large-denomination transaction 

accounts that offer unlimited insurance coverage through 

the end of 2012 continue to attract new depositors. 

Total deposits at insured institutions increased by

Quarterly Banking Profile

Total assets of the nation’s 7,357 FDIC-insured 

commercial banks and savings institutions increased by 

0.6 percent ($76.1 billion) in the fourth quarter of 

2011. Total deposits increased by 1.8 percent ($183.2 

billion), domestic office deposits increased by 2.9 

percent ($249.7 billion), and foreign office deposits 

decreased by 4.5 percent ($66.6 billion). Domestic 

noninterest-bearing deposits increased by 8.3 percent 

($173.2 billion) and savings deposits and interest bearing checking accounts increased by 2.3 percent ($103.8 

billion), while domestic time deposits decreased by 1.5 

percent ($27.3 billion). For all of 2011, total domestic 

deposits grew by 11.2 percent ($881.9 billion), with 

domestic noninterest-bearing deposits rising by 34.2 

percent ($578.1 billion) and domestic interest-bearing 

deposits increasing by 4.9 percent ($303.7 billion).

 At the end of the fourth quarter, domestic deposits 

funded 63.1 percent of industry assets, the largest share 

of assets funded by domestic deposits since the fourth 

quarter of 1994, when the share was 63.3 percent. 

Insured institutions had $2.3 trillion in domestic noninterest-bearing deposits on December 31, 2011, 70 

percent of which ($1.6 trillion) were in noninterestbearing transaction accounts larger than $250,000. Of 

this total, $1.4 trillion exceeded the basic coverage 

limit of $250,000 per account, but is fully insured until 

the end of 2012.1

 Deposits receiving the temporary 

coverage funded 4.2 percent of assets at banks with less 

than $10 billion in total assets and 11.6 percent of 

assets at banks with more than $10 billion in assets. 

The total amount receiving temporary coverage 

increased by 15.2 percent ($185.1 billion) during the 

fourth quarter. For all of 2011, deposits receiving the

 The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act 

(Dodd-Frank), enacted on July 21, 2010, provides temporary unlimited 

deposit insurance coverage for noninterest-bearing transaction 

accounts from December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012, 

regardless of the balance in the account and the ownership capacity of 

the funds. The unlimited coverage is available to all depositors, including consumers, businesses and government entities. The coverage is 

separate from, and in addition to, the insurance coverage provided for 

a depositor’s other accounts held at an FDIC-insured bank.

temporary coverage increased by 63.2 percent. Table 1 

shows the distribution of accounts receiving unlimited 

coverage on noninterest-bearing transaction accounts 

by institution asset size.

Total estimated insured deposits increased by 3.1 

percent in the quarter ending December 31, and by 

10.5 percent for all of 2011.2 The large increase in 2011 

was primarily attributable to the growth in noninterestbearing transaction account balances receiving temporary coverage. For institutions existing at the start and 

the end of the most recent quarter, insured deposits 

increased during the quarter at 4,339 institutions (59 

percent), decreased at 2,989 institutions (41 percent), 

and remained unchanged at 26 institutions.

The DIF balance increased in the fourth quarter to $9.2 

billion (unaudited) from $7.8 billion in the third quarter, the eighth consecutive quarterly increase. Accrued 

assessment income added $3.2 billion; interest earnings 

and unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities 

added another $127 million. Insurance loss provisions 

subtracted $1.5 billion while operating expenses and all 

other income (net of expenses) subtracted $375 million, 

resulting in a $1.4 billion fourth quarter increase in the 

DIF balance.

The DIF’s reserve ratio was 0.13 percent on December 

31, 2011, up from 0.12 percent at September 30, 2011, 

and up from -0.12 percent at the end of 2010. Eighteen 

FDIC-insured institutions with combined assets of $4.5 

billion failed during the fourth quarter of 2011. For all 

of 2011, 92 insured institutions with combined assets of 

$34.9 billion failed, down from 157 failures with 

combined assets of $92.1 billion in 2010. 

Effective April 1, 2011, the deposit insurance assessment base changed to average consolidated total assets

 Figures for estimated insured deposits in this discussion include 

insured branches of foreign banks, in addition to insured commercial 

banks and savings institutions.

both estimated insured deposits and the new assessment 

base. As of December 31, 2011, the FDIC reserve ratio 

would be 0.08 percent using the new assessment base

 There is an additional adjustment to the assessment base for banker’s banks and custodial banks, as permitted under Dodd-Frank.

Quarterly Banking Profile

All asset and liability figures used in calculating performance 

ratios represent average amounts for the period (beginning-ofperiod amount plus end-of-period amount plus any interim 

periods, divided by the total number of periods). For “poolingof-interest” mergers, the assets of the acquired institution(s) 

are included in average assets since the year-to-date income 

includes the results of all merged institutions. No adjustments 

are made for “purchase accounting” mergers. Growth rates 

represent the percentage change over a 12-month period in 

totals for institutions in the base period to totals for institutions in the current period.

All data are collected and presented based on the location of 

each reporting institution’s main office. Reported data may 

include assets and liabilities located outside of the reporting 

institution’s home state. In addition, institutions may relocate 

across state lines or change their charters, resulting in an 

inter-regional or inter-industry migration, e.g., institutions 

can move their home offices between regions, and savings 

institutions can convert to commercial banks or commercial 

banks may convert to savings institutions.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Goodwill Impairment Testing – In September 2011, the FASB 

issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, 

“Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” to address concerns about 

the cost and complexity of the existing goodwill impairment 

test in ASC Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other 

(formerly FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other 

Intangible Assets”). The ASU’s amendments to ASC 

Topic 350 will be effective for annual and interim goodwill 

impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after 

December 15, 2011 (i.e., for annual or interim tests performed 

on or after January 1, 2012, for institutions with a calendar 

year fiscal year). Early adoption of the ASU is permitted. 

Under ASU 2011-08, an institution has the option of first 

assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test described in ASC Topic 350. If, after considering 

all relevant events and circumstances, an institution determines it is unlikely (that is, a likelihood of 50 percent or less) 

that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying 

amount (including goodwill), then the institution does not 

need to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If the 

institution instead concludes that the opposite is true (that is, 

it is likely that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its 

carrying amount), then it is required to perform the first step 

and, if necessary, the second step of the two-step goodwill 

impairment test. Under ASU 2011-08, an institution may 

choose to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting 

unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first 

step of the two-step goodwill impairment test.

Extended Net Operating Loss Carryback Period – The Worker, 

Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009, which 

was enacted on November 6, 2009, permits banks and other 

businesses, excluding those banking organizations that 

received capital from the U.S. Treasury under the Troubled 

Asset Relief Program, to elect a net operating loss carryback 

period of three, four, or five years instead of the usual carryback period of two years for any one tax year ending after 

December 31, 2007, and beginning before January 1, 2010. 

For calendar-year banks, this extended carryback period 

applies to either the 2008 or 2009 tax year. The amount of 

Notes to Users

This publication contains financial data and other information for depository institutions insured by the Federal Deposit 

Insurance Corporation (FDIC). These notes are an integral 

part of this publication and provide information regarding 

the comparability of source data and reporting differences 

over time.

Tables I-A through VIII-A.

The information presented in Tables I-A through V-A of 

the FDIC Quarterly Banking Profile is aggregated for all FDICinsured institutions, both commercial banks and savings institutions. Tables VI-A (Derivatives) and VII-A (Servicing, 

Securitization, and Asset Sales Activities) aggregate information only for insured commercial banks and state-chartered 

savings banks that file quarterly Call Reports. Table VIII-A 

(Trust Services) aggregates Trust asset and income information collected annually from all FDIC-insured institutions. 

Some tables are arrayed by groups of FDIC-insured institutions based on predominant types of asset concentration, 

while other tables aggregate institutions by asset size and geographic region. Quarterly and full-year data are provided for 

selected indicators, including aggregate condition and income 

data, performance ratios, condition ratios, and structural 

changes, as well as past due, noncurrent, and charge-off information for loans outstanding and other assets.

Tables I-B through IV-B.

A separate set of tables (Tables I-B through IV-B) provides 

comparative quarterly data related to the Deposit Insurance 

Fund (DIF), problem institutions, failed/assisted institutions, 

estimated FDIC-insured deposits, as well as assessment rate 

information. Depository institutions that are not insured by 

the FDIC through the DIF are not included in the FDIC 

Quarterly Banking Profile. U.S. branches of institutions headquartered in foreign countries and non-deposit trust companies are not included unless otherwise indicated. Efforts are 

made to obtain financial reports for all active institutions. 

However, in some cases, final financial reports are not available for institutions that have closed or converted their 

charters.

DATA SOURCES

The financial information appearing in this publication is 

obtained primarily from the Federal Financial Institutions 

Examination Council (FFIEC) Consolidated Reports of 

Condition and Income (Call Reports) and the OTS Thrift 

Financial Reports submitted by all FDIC-insured depository 

institutions. This information is stored on and retrieved from 

the FDIC’s Research Information System (RIS) database.

COMPUTATION METHODOLOGY

Parent institutions are required to file consolidated reports, 

while their subsidiary financial institutions are still required 

to file separate reports. Data from subsidiary institution 

reports are included in the Quarterly Banking Profile tables, 

which can lead to double-counting. No adjustments are made 

for any double-counting of subsidiary data. Additionally, 

certain adjustments are made to the OTS Thrift Financial 

Reports to provide closer conformance with the reporting and 

accounting requirements of the FFIEC Call Reports.
FDIC Quarterly 20 2012, Volume 6, No. 1

Receivables – Overall (formerly FASB Statement No. 114, 

“Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” as 

amended), and the Call Report Glossary entry for “Loan 

Impairment.” Consistent with ASC Subtopic 310-10, TDRs 

may be aggregated and measured for impairment with other 

impaired loans that share common risk characteristics by using 

historical statistics, such as average recovery period and average amount recovered, along with a composite effective interest rate. However, the outcome of such an aggregation 

approach must be consistent with the impairment measurement methods prescribed in ASC Subtopic 310-10 and Call 

Report instructions for loans that are “individually” considered 

impaired instead of the measurement method prescribed in 

ASC Subtopic 450-20, Contingencies – Loss Contingencies 

(formerly FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”) for loans not individually considered impaired that 

are collectively evaluated for impairment. When a loan not 

previously considered individually impaired is restructured and 

determined to be a TDR, absent a partial charge-off, it generally is not appropriate for the impairment estimate on the loan 

to decline as a result of the change from the impairment measurement method prescribed in ASC Subtopic 450-20 to the 

methods prescribed in ASC Subtopic 310-10.

Troubled Debt Restructurings and Accounting Standards Update 

No. 2011-02 – In April 2011, the FASB issued Accounting 

Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-02, “A Creditor’s 

Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled 

Debt Restructuring,” to provide additional guidance to help 

creditors determine whether a concession has been granted to 

a borrower and whether a borrower is experiencing financial 

difficulties. The guidance is also intended to reduce diversity 

in practice in identifying and reporting TDRs. This ASU is 

effective for public companies for interim and annual periods 

beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied 

retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption for purposes of identifying TDRs. The measurement of 

impairment for any newly identified TDRs resulting from retrospective application will be applied prospectively in the first 

interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. 

(For most public institutions, the ASU takes effect July 1, 

2011, but retrospective application begins as of January 1, 

2011.) Nonpublic companies should apply the new guidance 

for annual periods ending after December 15, 2012, including 

interim periods within those annual periods. (For most nonpublic institutions, the ASU will take effect January 1, 2012.) 

Early adoption of the ASU is permitted for both public and 

nonpublic entities. Nonpublic entities that adopt early are 

subject to a retrospective identification requirement. For 

additional information, institutions should refer to ASU 

2011-02, which is available at http://www.fasb.org/jsp/FASB/

Page/SectionPage&cid=1176156316498.

Accounting for Loan Participations – Amended ASC Topic 860 

(formerly FAS 166) modified the criteria that must be met in 

order for a transfer of a portion of a financial asset, such as a 

loan participation, to qualify for sale accounting. These 

changes apply to transfers of loan participations on or after 

the effective date of amended ASC Topic 860 (January 1, 

2010, for banks with calendar year fiscal year), including 

advances under lines of credit that are transferred on or after 

the effective date of amended ASC Topic 860 even if the line 

of credit agreements were entered into before this effective 

date. Therefore, banks with a calendar-year fiscal year must 

the net operating loss that can be carried back to the fifth 

carryback year is limited to 50 percent of the available taxable income for that fifth year, but this limit does not apply to 

other carryback years.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, banks may 

not record the effects of this tax change in their balance 

sheets and income statements for financial and regulatory 

reporting purposes until the period in which the law was 

enacted, i.e., the fourth quarter of 2009. Therefore, banks 

should recognize the effects of this fourth quarter 2009 tax 

law change on their current and deferred tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, in 

their Call Reports for December 31, 2009. Banks should not 

amend their Call Reports for prior quarters for the effects of 

the extended net operating loss carryback period.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, 

which was enacted on February 17, 2009, permits qualifying 

small businesses, including FDIC-insured institutions, to elect 

a net operating loss carryback period of three, four, or five 

years instead of the usual carryback period of two years for 

any tax year ending in 2008 or, at the small business’s election, any tax year beginning in 2008. Under generally accepted accounting principles, institutions may not record the 

effect of this tax change in their balance sheets and income 

statements for financial and regulatory reporting purposes 

until the period in which the law was enacted, i.e., the first 

quarter of 2009.

Troubled Debt Restructurings and Current Market Interest Rates – 

Many institutions are restructuring or modifying the terms of 

loans to provide payment relief for those borrowers who have 

suffered deterioration in their financial condition. Such loan 

restructurings may include, but are not limited to, reductions 

in principal or accrued interest, reductions in interest rates, 

and extensions of the maturity date. Modifications may be 

executed at the original contractual interest rate on the loan, 

a current market interest rate, or a below-market interest rate. 

Many of these loan modifications meet the definition of a 

troubled debt restructuring (TDR).

The TDR accounting and reporting standards are set forth in 

ASC Subtopic 310-40, Receivables – Troubled Debt 

Restructurings by Creditors (formerly FASB Statement No. 

15, “Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt 

Restructurings,” as amended). This guidance specifies that a 

restructuring of a debt constitutes a TDR if, at the date of 

restructuring, the creditor for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial difficulties grants a concession to 

the debtor that it would not otherwise consider.

In the Call Report, until a loan that is a TDR is paid in full or 

otherwise settled, sold, or charged off, it must be reported in 

the appropriate loan category, as well as identified as a performing TDR loan, if it is in compliance with its modified 

terms. If a TDR is not in compliance with its modified terms, 

it is reported as a past-due and nonaccrual loan in the appropriate loan category, as well as distinguished from other past 

due and nonaccrual loans. To be considered in compliance 

with its modified terms, a loan that is a TDR must not be in 

nonaccrual status and must be current or less than 30 days past 

due on its contractual principal and interest payments under 

the modified repayment terms. A loan restructured in a TDR 

is an impaired loan. Thus, all TDRs must be measured for 

impairment in accordance with ASC Subtopic 310-10,

with early adoption permitted for periods ending after 

March 15, 2009.

Fair value continues to be used for derivatives, trading securities, and available-for-sale securities. Changes in fair value go 

through earnings for trading securities and most derivatives. 

Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities are 

reported in other comprehensive income. Available-for-sale 

securities and held-to-maturity debt securities are written 

down to fair value if impairment is other than temporary and 

loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair 

value.

FAS 159 allows institutions to report certain financial assets 

and liabilities at fair value with subsequent changes in fair 

value included in earnings. In general, an institution may 

elect the fair value option for an eligible financial asset or 

liability when it first recognizes the instrument on its balance 

sheet or enters into an eligible firm commitment.

GNMA Buy-back Option – If an issuer of GNMA securities has 

the option to buy back the loans that collateralize the 

GNMA securities, when certain delinquency criteria are met, 

ASC Topic 860 (formerly FASB Statement No. 140) requires 

that loans with this buy-back option must be brought back on 

the issuer’s books as assets. The rebooking of GNMA loans is 

required regardless of whether the issuer intends to exercise 

the buy-back option. The banking agencies clarified in May 

2005 that all GNMA loans that are rebooked because of 

delinquency should be reported as past due according to their 

contractual terms.

ASC Topics 860 & 810 (formerly FASB Statements 166 & 167) – 

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 166, 

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (FAS 166), and 

Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation 

No. 46(R) (FAS 167), which change the way entities account 

for securitizations and special purpose entities. FAS 166 

revised FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers 

and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of 

Liabilities, by eliminating the concept of a “qualifying specialpurpose entity,” creating the concept of a “participating interest,” changing the requirements for derecognizing financial 

assets, and requiring additional disclosures. FAS 167 revised 

FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable 

Interest Entities, by changing how a bank or other company 

determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or 

is not controlled through voting or similar rights, i.e., a “variable interest entity” (VIE), should be consolidated. Under 

FAS 167, a bank must perform a qualitative assessment to 

determine whether its variable interest or interests give it a 

controlling financial interest in a VIE. If a bank’s variable 

account for transfers of loan participations on or after January 

1, 2010, in accordance with amended ASC Topic 860. In 

general, loan participations transferred before the effective 

date of amended ASC Topic 860 are not affected by this new 

accounting standard.

Under amended ASC Topic 860, if a transfer of a portion of 

an entire financial asset meets the definition of a “participating interest,” then the transferor (normally the lead lender) 

must evaluate whether the transfer meets all of the conditions 

in this accounting standard to qualify for sale accounting.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment – When the fair value of an 

investment in an individual available-for-sale or held-tomaturity security is less than its cost basis, the impairment is 

either temporary or other-than-temporary. The amount of the 

total other-than-temporary impairment related to credit loss 

must be recognized in earnings, but the amount of total 

impairment related to other factors must be recognized in 

other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. To 

determine whether the impairment is other-than-temporary, 

an institution must apply the applicable accounting guidance 

– refer to previously published Quarterly Banking Profile notes: 

http://www2.fdic.gov/qbp/2011mar/qbpnot.html.

ASC Topic 805 (formerly Business Combinations and Noncontrolling 

(Minority) Interests) – In December 2007, the FASB issued 

Statement No. 141 (Revised), Business Combinations FAS 

141(R)), and Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in 

Consolidated Financial Statements (FAS 160). Under FAS 

141(R), all business combinations, including combinations of 

mutual entities, are to be accounted for by applying the acquisition method. FAS 160 defines a noncontrolling interest, 

also called a minority interest, as the portion of equity in an 

institution’s subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, 

to the parent institution. FAS 160 requires an institution to 

clearly present in its consolidated financial statements the 

equity ownership in and results of its subsidiaries that are 

attributable to the noncontrolling ownership interests in 

these subsidiaries. FAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or 

after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Similarly, FAS 160 is 

effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 

2008. Thus, for institutions with calendar-year fiscal years, 

these two accounting standards take effect in 2009. Beginning 

in March 2009, Institution equity capital and Noncontrolling 

interests are separately reported in arriving at Total equity 

capital and Net income.

ASC Topic 820 (formerly FASB Statement No. 157 Fair Value 

Measurements issued in September 2006) and ASC Topic 825 

(formerly FASB Statement No. 159 The Fair Value Option for 

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities) issued in February 2007 – 

both are effective in 2008 with early adoption permitted in 

2007. FAS 157 defines fair value and establishes a framework 

for developing fair value estimates for the fair value measurements that are already required or permitted under other standards. FASB FSP 157-4, issued in April 2009, provides 

additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance 

with FAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the 

asset or liability have significantly decreased. The FSP also 

includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate 

a transaction is not orderly. The FSP is effective for interim 

and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, 
FDIC Quarterly 22 2012, Volume 6, No. 1

Assets securitized and sold – total outstanding principal balance 

of assets securitized and sold with servicing retained or other 

seller- provided credit enhancements.

Capital Purchase Program (CPP) – As announced in October 

2008 under the TARP, the Treasury Department purchase of 

noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related warrants 

that is treated as Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes 

is included in “Total equity capital.” Such warrants to purchase common stock or noncumulative preferred stock issued 

by publicly-traded banks are reflected as well in “Surplus.” 

Warrants to purchase common stock or noncumulative preferred stock of not-publicly-traded bank stock classified in a 

bank’s balance sheet as “Other liabilities.”

Construction and development loans – includes loans for all property types under construction, as well as loans for land acquisition and development.

Core capital – common equity capital plus noncumulative perpetual preferred stock plus minority interest in consolidated 

subsidiaries, less goodwill and other ineligible intangible 

assets. The amount of eligible intangibles (including servicing 

rights) included in core capital is limited in accordance with 

supervisory capital regulations.

Cost of funding earning assets – total interest expense paid on 

deposits and other borrowed money as a percentage of average 

earning assets.

Credit enhancements – techniques whereby a company attempts 

to reduce the credit risk of its obligations. Credit enhancement may be provided by a third party (external credit 

enhancement) or by the originator (internal credit enhancement), and more than one type of enhancement may be associated with a given issuance.

Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) – the Bank (BIF) and Savings 

Association (SAIF) Insurance Funds were merged in 2006 by 

the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act to form the DIF.

Derivatives notional amount – the notional, or contractual, 

amounts of derivatives represent the level of involvement in 

the types of derivatives transactions and are not a quantification of market risk or credit risk. Notional amounts represent 

the amounts used to calculate contractual cash flows to be 

exchanged.

Derivatives credit equivalent amount – the fair value of the 

derivative plus an additional amount for potential future credit exposure based on the notional amount, the remaining 

maturity and type of the contract.

Derivatives transaction types:

Futures and forward contracts – contracts in which the buyer 

agrees to purchase and the seller agrees to sell, at a specified future date, a specific quantity of an underlying variable or index at a specified price or yield. These contracts 

exist for a variety of variables or indices, (traditional agricultural or physical commodities, as well as currencies and 

interest rates). Futures contracts are standardized and are 

traded on organized exchanges which set limits on counterparty credit exposure. Forward contracts do not have 

standardized terms and are traded over the counter.

Option contracts – contracts in which the buyer acquires the 

right to buy from or sell to another party some specified 

amount of an underlying variable or index at a stated price 

(strike price) during a period or on a specified future date, 

interest or interests provide it with the power to direct the 

most significant activities of the VIE, and the right to receive 

benefits or the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the VIE, the bank is the primary beneficiary of, and therefore must consolidate, the VIE.

Both FAS 166 and FAS 167 take effect as of the beginning of 

each bank’s first annual reporting period that begins after 

November 15, 2009, for interim periods therein, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter (i.e., as of January 

1, 2010, for banks with a calendar year fiscal year). Earlier 

application is prohibited. Banks are expected to adopt FAS 

166 and FAS 167 for Call Report purposes in accordance with 

the effective date of these two standards. Also, FAS 166 has 

modified the criteria that must be met in order for a transfer of 

a portion of a financial asset, such as a loan participation, to 

qualify for sale accounting. These changes apply to transfers of 

loan participations on or after the effective date of FAS 166. 

Therefore, banks with a calendar year fiscal year must account 

for transfers of loan participations on or after January 1, 2010, 

in accordance with FAS 166. In general, loan participations 

transferred before the effective date of FAS 166 (January 1, 

2010, for calendar year banks) are not affected by this new 

accounting standard and pre-FAS 166 participations that were 

properly accounted for as sales under FASB Statement No. 

140 will continue to be reported as having been sold.

DEFINITIONS (in alphabetical order)

All other assets – total cash, balances due from depository 

institutions, premises, fixed assets, direct investments in real 

estate, investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries, customers’ 

liability on acceptances outstanding, assets held in trading 

accounts, federal funds sold, securities purchased with agreements to resell, fair market value of derivatives, prepaid 

deposit insurance assessments, and other assets.

All other liabilities – bank’s liability on acceptances, limited-life 

preferred stock, allowance for estimated off-balance-sheet credit losses, fair market value of derivatives, and other liabilities.

Assessment base – effective April 1, 2011, the deposit insurance assessment base has changed to “average consolidated 

total assets minus average tangible equity” with an additional 

adjustment to the assessment base for banker’s banks and custodial banks, as permitted under Dodd-Frank. Previously the 

assessment base was “assessable deposits” and consisted of DIF 

deposits (deposits insured by the FDIC Deposit Insurance 

Fund) in banks’ domestic offices with certain adjustments.
FDIC Quarterly 23 2012, Volume 6, No. 1

Quarterly Banking Profile

Goodwill and other intangibles – intangible assets include 

servicing rights, purchased credit card relationships, and other 

identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is the excess of the 

purchase price over the fair market value of the net assets 

acquired, less subsequent impairment adjustments. Other 

intangible assets are recorded at fair value, less subsequent 

quarterly amortization and impairment adjustments.

Loans secured by real estate – includes home equity loans, 

junior liens secured by 1-4 family residential properties, and 

all other loans secured by real estate.

Loans to individuals – includes outstanding credit card balances 

and other secured and unsecured consumer loans.

Long-term assets (5+ years) – loans and debt securities with 

remaining maturities or repricing intervals of over five years.

Maximum credit exposure – the maximum contractual credit 

exposure remaining under recourse arrangements and other 

seller-provided credit enhancements provided by the reporting bank to securitizations.

Mortgage-backed securities – certificates of participation in 

pools of residential mortgages and collateralized mortgage 

obligations issued or guaranteed by government-sponsored or 

private enterprises. Also, see “Securities,” below.

Net charge-offs – total loans and leases charged off (removed 

from balance sheet because of uncollectibility), less amounts 

recovered on loans and leases previously charged off.

Net interest margin – the difference between interest and dividends earned on interest-bearing assets and interest paid to 

depositors and other creditors, expressed as a percentage of 

average earning assets. No adjustments are made for interest 

income that is tax exempt.

Net loans to total assets – loans and lease financing receivables, net of unearned income, allowance and reserves, as a 

percent of total assets on a consolidated basis.

Net operating income – income excluding discretionary transactions such as gains (or losses) on the sale of investment securities and extraordinary items. Income taxes subtracted from 

operating income have been adjusted to exclude the portion 

applicable to securities gains (or losses).

Noncurrent assets – the sum of loans, leases, debt securities, 

and other assets that are 90 days or more past due, or in nonaccrual status.

Noncurrent loans & leases – the sum of loans and leases 90 days 

or more past due, and loans and leases in nonaccrual status.

Number of institutions reporting – the number of institutions 

that actually filed a financial report.

New charters – insured institutions filing quarterly financial 

reports for the first time.

Other borrowed funds – federal funds purchased, securities sold 

with agreements to repurchase, demand notes issued to the 

U.S. Treasury, FHLB advances, other borrowed money, mortgage indebtedness, obligations under capitalized leases and 

trading liabilities, less revaluation losses on assets held in 

trading accounts.

Other real estate owned – primarily foreclosed property. Direct 

and indirect investments in real estate ventures are excluded. 

The amount is reflected net of valuation allowances. For 

institutions that file a Thrift Financial Report (TFR), the valuin return for compensation (such as a fee or premium). 

The seller is obligated to purchase or sell the variable or 

index at the discretion of the buyer of the contract.

Swaps – obligations between two parties to exchange a 

series of cash flows at periodic intervals (settlement dates), 

for a specified period. The cash flows of a swap are either 

fixed, or determined for each settlement date by multiplying the quantity (notional principal) of the underlying 

variable or index by specified reference rates or prices. 

Except for currency swaps, the notional principal is used 

to calculate each payment but is not exchanged.

Derivatives underlying risk exposure – the potential exposure 

characterized by the level of banks’ concentration in particular underlying instruments, in general. Exposure can result 

from market risk, credit risk, and operational risk, as well as, 

interest rate risk.

Domestic deposits to total assets – total domestic office deposits 

as a percent of total assets on a consolidated basis.

Earning assets – all loans and other investments that earn 

interest or dividend income.

Efficiency ratio – Noninterest expense less amortization of 

intangible assets as a percent of net interest income plus noninterest income. This ratio measures the proportion of net 

operating revenues that are absorbed by overhead expenses, 

so that a lower value indicates greater efficiency.

Estimated insured deposits – in general, insured deposits are 

total domestic deposits minus estimated uninsured deposits. 

Beginning March 31, 2008, for institutions that file Call 

Reports, insured deposits are total assessable deposits minus 

estimated uninsured deposits. Beginning September 30, 2009, 

insured deposits include deposits in accounts of $100,000 to 

$250,000 that are covered by a temporary increase in the 

FDIC’s standard maximum deposit insurance amount 

(SMDIA). The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 

Consumer Protection Act enacted on July 21, 2010, made 

permanent the standard maximum deposit insurance amount 

(SMDIA) of $250,000. Also, the Dodd-Frank Act amends 

the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to include noninterestbearing transaction accounts as a new temporary deposit 

insurance account category. All funds held in noninterestbearing transaction accounts are fully insured, without limit, 

from December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012.

Failed/assisted institutions – an institution fails when regulators 

take control of the institution, placing the assets and liabilities into a bridge bank, conservatorship, receivership, or 

another healthy institution. This action may require the 

FDIC to provide funds to cover losses. An institution is 

defined as “assisted” when the institution remains open and 

receives assistance in order to continue operating.

Fair Value – the valuation of various assets and liabilities on 

the balance sheet—including trading assets and liabilities, 

available-for-sale securities, loans held for sale, assets and 

liabilities accounted for under the fair value option, and foreclosed assets—involves the use of fair values. During periods 

of market stress, the fair values of some financial instruments 

and nonfinancial assets may decline.

FHLB advances – all borrowings by FDIC insured institutions 

from the Federal Home Loan Bank System (FHLB), as 

reported by Call Report filers and by TFR filers.
FDIC Quarterly 24 2012, Volume 6, No. 1

categories (I, II, III, IV) for small institutions to capital and 

supervisory groups as well as the initial base assessment rates 

(in basis points) for each risk category. Supervisory Group A 

generally includes institutions with CAMELS composite ratings of 1 or 2; Supervisory Group B generally includes institutions with a CAMELS composite rating of 3; and Supervisory 

Group C generally includes institutions with CAMELS composite ratings of 4 or 5. For purposes of risk-based assessment 

capital groups, undercapitalized includes institutions that are 

significantly or critically undercapitalized.

Effective April 1, 2011, the initial base assessment rates are 5 

to 35 basis points. An institution’s total assessment rate may 

be less than or greater than its initial base assessment rate as a 

result of additional risk adjustments.

The base assessment rates for small institutions in Risk 

Category I are based on a combination of financial ratios and 

CAMELS component ratings (the financial ratios method).

As required by Dodd-Frank, the calculation of risk-based 

assessment rates for large institutions no longer relies on longterm debt issuer ratings. Rates for large institutions are based 

on CAMELS ratings and certain forward-looking financial 

measures combined into two scorecards—one for most large 

institutions and another for the remaining very large institutions that are structurally and operationally complex or that 

pose unique challenges and risks in case of failure (highly 

complex institutions). In general, a highly complex institution is an institution (other than a credit card bank) with 

more than $500 billion in total assets that is controlled by a 

parent or intermediate parent company with more than $500 

billion in total assets or a processing bank or trust company 

with total fiduciary assets of $500 billion or more. The FDIC 

retains its ability to take additional information into account 

to make a limited adjustment to an institution’s total score 

(the large bank adjustment), which will be used to determine 

an institution’s initial base assessment rate.

Effective April 1, 2011, the three possible adjustments to 

an institution’s initial base assessment rate are as follows: 

(1) Unsecured Debt Adjustment: An institution’s rate may 

decrease by up to 5 basis points for unsecured debt. The unsecured debt adjustment cannot exceed the lesser of 5 basis 

points or 50 percent of an institution’s initial base assessment 

rate (IBAR). Thus, for example, an institution with an IBAR 

of 5 basis points would have a maximum unsecured debt 

adjustment of 2.5 basis points and could not have a total base 

assessment rate lower than 2.5 basis points. (2) Depository 

Institution Debt Adjustment: For institutions that hold longterm unsecured debt issued by another insured depository 

institution, a 50 basis point charge is applied to the amount 

ation allowance subtracted also includes allowances for other 

repossessed assets. Also, for TFR filers the components of 

other real estate owned are reported gross of valuation 

allowances.

Percent of institutions with earnings gains – the percent of institutions that increased their net income (or decreased their 

losses) compared to the same period a year earlier.

“Problem” institutions – federal regulators assign a composite 

rating to each financial institution, based upon an evaluation 

of financial and operational criteria. The rating is based on a 

scale of 1 to 5 in ascending order of supervisory concern. 

“Problem” institutions are those institutions with financial, 

operational, or managerial weaknesses that threaten their 

continued financial viability. Depending upon the degree of 

risk and supervisory concern, they are rated either a “4” or 

“5.” The number and assets of “problem” institutions are 

based on FDIC composite ratings. Prior to March 31, 2008, 

for institutions whose primary federal regulator was the OTS, 

the OTS composite rating was used.

Recourse – an arrangement in which a bank retains, in form or 

in substance, any credit risk directly or indirectly associated 

with an asset it has sold (in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) that exceeds a pro rata share of the 

bank’s claim on the asset. If a bank has no claim on an asset 

it has sold, then the retention of any credit risk is recourse.

Reserves for losses – the allowance for loan and lease losses on 

a consolidated basis.

Restructured loans and leases – loan and lease financing receivables with terms restructured from the original contract. 

Excludes restructured loans and leases that are not in compliance with the modified terms.

Retained earnings – net income less cash dividends on common and preferred stock for the reporting period.

Return on assets – bank net income (including gains or losses 

on securities and extraordinary items) as a percentage of average total (consolidated) assets. The basic yardstick of bank 

profitability.

Return on equity – bank net income (including gains or losses 

on securities and extraordinary items) as a percentage of average total equity capital.

Risk Categories and Assessment Rate Schedule – The current risk 

categories became effective January 1, 2007. Capital ratios 

and supervisory ratings distinguish one risk category from 

another. Effective April 1, 2011, risk categories for large institutions (generally those with at least $10 billion in assets) are 

eliminated. The following table shows the relationship of risk 
FDIC Quarterly 25 2012, Volume 6, No. 1

Quarterly Banking Profile

from zero to 200 percent. A conversion factor is used to assign 

a balance sheet equivalent amount for selected off-balancesheet accounts.

Securities – excludes securities held in trading accounts. 

Banks’ securities portfolios consist of securities designated as 

“held-to-maturity,” which are reported at amortized cost 

(book value), and securities designated as “available-for-sale,” 

reported at fair (market) value.

Securities gains (losses) – realized gains (losses) on held-tomaturity and available-for-sale securities, before adjustments 

for income taxes. Thrift Financial Report (TFR) filers also 

include gains (losses) on the sales of assets held for sale.

Seller’s interest in institution’s own securitizations – the reporting 

bank’s ownership interest in loans and other assets that have 

been securitized, except an interest that is a form of recourse 

or other seller-provided credit enhancement. Seller’s interests 

differ from the securities issued to investors by the securitization structure. The principal amount of a seller’s interest is 

generally equal to the total principal amount of the pool of 

assets included in the securitization structure less the principal amount of those assets attributable to investors, i.e., in the 

form of securities issued to investors.

Small Business Lending Fund – The Small Business Lending 

Fund (SBLF), which was enacted into law in September 2010 

as part of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, is a $30 billion 

fund that encourages lending to small businesses by providing 

capital to qualified community institutions with assets of less 

than $10 billion. The U.S. Treasury Department is administering the SBLF Program (http://www.treasury.gov/resourcecenter/sb-programs/Pages/Small-Business-Lending-Fund.aspx).

Under the SBLF Program, the Treasury Department purchases noncumulative perpetual preferred stock from qualifying 

depository institutions and holding companies (other than 

Subchapter S and mutual institutions). When this stock is 

issued by a depository institution, it is reported as “Perpetual 

preferred stock and related surplus.” For regulatory capital 

purposes, this noncumulative perpetual preferred stock qualifies as a component of Tier 1 capital. Qualifying Subchapter 

S corporations and mutual institutions issue unsecured subordinated debentures to the Treasury Department through the 

SBLF. Depository institutions that issue these report them as 

“Subordinated notes and debentures.” For regulatory capital 

purposes, the debentures are eligible for inclusion in an institution’s Tier 2 capital in accordance with their primary federal regulator’s capital standards. To participate in the SBLF 

Program, an institution with outstanding securities issued to 

the Treasury Department under the Capital Purchase Program 

(CPP) is required to refinance or repay in full the CPP securities at the time of the SBLF funding. Any outstanding warrants that an institution issued to the Treasury Department 

under the CPP remain outstanding after the refinancing of 

the CPP stock through the SBLF Program unless the institution chooses to repurchase them.

Subchapter S corporation – a Subchapter S corporation is treated as a pass-through entity, similar to a partnership, for federal income tax purposes. It is generally not subject to any 

federal income taxes at the corporate level. This can have the 

effect of reducing institutions’ reported taxes and increasing 

their after-tax earnings.

of such debt held in excess of 3 percent of an institution’s 

Tier 1 capital. (3) Brokered Deposit Adjustment: Rates for 

small institutions that are not in Risk Category I and for large 

institutions that are not well capitalized or do not have a 

composite CAMELS rating of 1 or 2 may increase (not to 

exceed 10 basis points) if their brokered deposits exceed 10 

percent of domestic deposits. After applying all possible 

adjustments (excluding the Depository Institution Debt 

Adjustment), minimum and maximum total base assessment 

rates for each risk category are as follows:

Beginning in 2007, each institution is assigned a risk-based 

rate for a quarterly assessment period near the end of the 

quarter following the assessment period. Payment is generally 

due on the 30th day of the last month of the quarter following the assessment period. Supervisory rating changes are 

effective for assessment purposes as of the examination transmittal date.

Special Assessment – On May 22, 2009, the FDIC board 

approved a final rule that imposed a 5 basis point special 

assessment as of June 30, 2009. The special assessment was 

levied on each insured depository institution’s assets minus 

its Tier 1 capital as reported in its report of condition as of 

June 30, 2009. The special assessment was collected 

September 30, 2009, at the same time that the risk-based 

assessment for the second quarter of 2009 was collected. 

The special assessment for any institution was capped at 

10 basis points of the institution’s assessment base for the 

second quarter of 2009 risk-based assessment.

Prepaid Deposit Insurance Assessments – In November 2009, 

the FDIC Board of Directors adopted a final rule requiring 

insured depository institutions (except those that are 

exempted) to prepay their quarterly risk-based deposit 

insurance assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009, and 

for all of 2010, 2011, and 2012, on December 30, 2009. 

Each institution’s regular risk-based deposit insurance 

assessment for the third quarter of 2009, which is paid in 

arrears, also was payable on December 30, 2009. For regulatory capital purposes, an institution may assign a zeropercent risk weight to the amount of its prepaid deposit 

assessment asset.
