Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES




Examination Of The Federal Deposit

Insurance Corporation's Financial Statements

For The Years Ended December 31, 1984 And

1983


GAO examined the financial statements of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation for the years ended December 31, 1984 and
1983. The examinations were made in accordance with generally
accepted government auditing standards.

The Corporation has acquired $2.1 billion of poor quality loans and
related assets, as part of financial assistance provided to Continen-
tal Illinois National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago, and may
acquire an additional $1.4 billion of such troubled loans. The Cor-
poration has not yet estimated the collectibility of these loans and
the financial statements disclose no provision for loss. The Corpo-
ration acknowledges that collection of the acquired loans is subject
to significant uncertainties because of financially troubled borrow-
ers and the effects of general economic conditions on their indus-
tries. GAO believes that a significant amount of the loans already
acquired will not be collectible. Continental Bank has estimated the
Corporation will lose from $551 to $774 million on the acquired
loans.

In GAO's opinion, except for the lack of a reserve for losses on the
troubled loans acquired from Continental Bank, the financial
statements present fairly the financial position of the Corporation
as of December 31,1984 and 1983, the results of its operations and
the changes in its financial position for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.     /     1111111 l
