 5-12

Trading account assets

 Securities purchased to provide short-term

profits from short-term price movements

 When bank acts as a securities dealer

 Valued at market – FASB 115

 5-13

Federal funds sold and reverse

repurchase agreements

 A type of loan account

 Generally overnight loans

 Federal funds sold - funds come from the

deposits at the Federal Reserve
 Reverse repurchase agreements – bank takes
temporary title to securities owned by borrower
Bank investments and FASB 115
 Following FASB 115, a bank, at purchase, must
designate the objective behind buying investment
securities as either:
 Held-to-maturity securities are recorded on the balance
sheet at amortized cost.
 Trading account securities are actively bought and sold,
so the bank marks the securities to market (reports them
at current market value) on the balance sheet and reports
all gains and losses on the income statement.
 Available-for-sale, all other investment securities, are
recorded at market value on the balance sheet with a
corresponding change to stockholders’ equity as
unrealized gains and losses on securities holdings; no
income statement impact.

 Commercial and industrial loans

 Consumer loans (loans to individuals)
 Real estate loans
 Financial institution loans

Adjustments to total loans
…three adjustments are made to obtain a net loan
figure.

1. Leases are included in gross loans.

2. Unearned income is deducted from gross
interest received.
3. Gross loans are reduced by the dollar
magnitude of a bank's loan-loss reserve,
which exists in recognition that some loans
will not be repaid.
 5-19

Specific and general reserves

 Specific reserves
 Set aside to cover a particular loan
 Designate a portion of ALL or

 Add more reserves to ALL

 General reserves
 Remaining ALL

 Determined by management but influenced by taxes

and government regulation
 Loans to lesser developed countries require allocated
transfer reserves
ALL : Allowance for loan losses

Miscellaneous assets

 Bank premises and fixed assets

 Other real estate owned (OREO)

 Goodwill and other intangibles

Bank liabilities (cont.)
 Two general time deposits categories exist:
 Time deposits in excess of $100,000, labeled
jumbo certificates of deposit (CDs).
 Small CDs, considered core deposits which tend
to be stable deposits that are typically not
withdrawn over short periods of time.
 Deposits held in foreign offices

outside the U.S.
 5-26

Non-deposit borrowings

 Fed funds purchased

 Securities sold under agreement to repurchase
(repurchase agreements)
 Acceptances outstanding
 Eurocurrency borrowings
 Subordinated debt (Notes and bonds with
maturities in excess of one year)
 Limited life preferred stock
 Other liabilities
 Core versus volatile funds
 Core deposits are stable deposits that are not highly
interest rate-sensitive.
 More sensitive to the fees charged, services rendered, and
location of the bank.
 Includes: demand deposits, NOW accounts, MMDAs, and
small time deposits.
 Large, or volatile, borrowings are liabilities that are highly
rate-sensitive.
 Normally issued in uninsured denominations
 Ability to borrow is asset quality sensitive
 Includes: large CDs (over 100,000), deposits in foreign
offices, federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements,
and other borrowings with maturities less than one year.*
*The UBPR (Uniform Bank Performance Report ) also includes brokered
deposits less than $100,000 and maturing within one year in the definition of
net non-core liabilities.

past due loans, understating non-performance status
 Allowance for loan losses
 Management discretion and IRS* regulations may be in
conflict
 Preferred stock
 Meets capital requirements but causes NIM (net
interest margin), NI (net interest), ROE, and ROA to be
overstated
*IRS (Internal Revenue Service): the US federal government agency
that collects taxes and enforces the internal revenue laws.
Financial statement manipulation (cont.)

 Securities gains and losses

 Banks often classify all investment securities
as “available for sale,” overstating any true
“gains or losses”
 Non-recurring sales of assets
 This type of transaction is not part of the
bank’s daily activities and typically cannot be
repeated; thus it overstates earnings
Questions & Problems
1. What are the essential differences among demand deposits,
savings deposits, and time deposits?
2. What are primary reserves, and secondary reserves and what
are they supposed to do?
3. How do the financial statements of major nonbank financial
firms resemble or differ from bank financial statements?
Why do these differences or similarities exist?
4. What major trends are changing the content of the financial
statements prepared by financial firms?
5. Problem 5 and 6 (page 157) and 11 (page 159)
Answers
1. What are the essential differences among demand deposits,
savings deposits, and time deposits?
- Demand deposits are regular checking accounts against
which a customer can write checks or make any number
of personal withdrawals. Regular checking accounts do
not bear interest under current U.S. law and regulation.
- Savings deposits bear interest (normally, they carry the
lowest rate paid on bank deposits) but may be withdrawn
at will (though a bank usually will reserve the right to
require advance notice of a planned withdrawal).
Answers
1. What are the essential differences among demand deposits,
savings deposits, and time deposits?
 Time deposits carry a fixed maturity & the bank may impose
a penalty if the customer withdraws funds before the
maturity date. Interest rate is negotiated between the bank
and depositor, may be either fixed or floating.
 A NOW account combines features of a savings account
and a checking account:
 a money market deposit account encompasses transactional
powers (with limitations on the number of checks or drafts that
may be written against the account)
 interest rate fixed for a brief period (such as weekly) but then
becomes changeable over longer periods to reflect current
market conditions.
Answers
2. What are primary reserves, and secondary reserves and what are
they supposed to do?
 Primary reserves include a bank's vault cash and checkable
deposits held with other banks or any other funds that are
accessible immediately to meet demands for liquidity made against
the bank.
  Secondary reserves consist of assets paying some interest (though
much lower than earned on other assets as loans) but their principal
feature is ready marketability. Most Secondary reserves are
marketable securities (short term government securities) and
private securities (commercial paper).
  Both primary and secondary reserves are to keep the bank in
readiness to meet demands for cash (liquidity) from whatever
source those demands may arise.
Answers
3. How do the financial statements of major nonbank financial
firms resemble or differ from bank financial statements? Why
do these differences or similarities exist?
 Banks have very similar financial statements to credit
union and savings associations. The only difference may
be in the structure of their loan portfolio. Credit unions
probably have more loans to individuals and savings
associations may have more real estate loans as well as
loans to individuals.
Answers
3. How do the financial statements of major nonbank financial
firms resemble or differ from bank financial statements? Why
do these differences or similarities exist?
 More differences exist between banks and other major
competitors. These differences exist because of each
company’s unique function.
 Finance companies have loans but on their balance sheet
they are called accounts receivables. In addition, they
show heavy reliance on money market borrowings instead
of deposits.
Answers
3. How do the financial statements of major nonbank financial
firms resemble or differ from bank financial statements? Why
do these differences or similarities exist?
 Insurance companies are different in that loans they make
to businesses show up on the balance sheet as bonds,
stocks, mortgages and other securities. On the liability
side, insurance companies receive the majority of their
funds from insurance premiums paid by customers for
insurance protection.
Answers
3. How do the financial statements of major nonbank financial
firms resemble or differ from bank financial statements? Why
do these differences or similarities exist?
 Mutual funds hold primarily corporate stocks, bonds,
asset-backed securities and money market instruments
and their liabilities consist primarily of units of the mutual
fund sold to the public.
 Security brokers and dealers tend to hold a similar range
of securities funded by borrowings in the money and
capital markets.

 Answers
5. Problem 11 (page 159)
Total interest income (TII) and Total interest expense(TIE):

TII = 2TIE and Net interest income = TII –TIE = $700 so:
2TIE –TIE = $700 TIE = $700 and TII = 2($700) = $1,400

Total noninterest income (TNI) and Total noninterest

expense (TNE):
TNI = 0.75TNE and Net noninterest income = TNI – TNE = -
$300, so:
0.75TNE – TNE = -$300
-0.25TNE = $300 TNE = $1200
TNI = 0.75($1200) = $900

5. Problem 11 (page 159)
Provision for Loan Losses
PLL = 0.02*Total Interest Income = 0.02*($1,400) = $28

Taxes
Net income before taxes = (Net interest income + Net
noninterest income) – PLL
Net income before taxes = $700 - 300 - $28 = $372
Taxes = 0.3* Net income before taxes = 0.3*372 = $111.60

Note: because it is given in the problem that Pretax net income is 372,
the underlying assumption is that Security gains is tax-exempted.
