Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES




Federal Banking Agencies Are Adequately

Examining Net Worth Certificate

Program Applications



The Garn-St Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982
authorized capital assistance programs to savings and loan
associations and savings banks--commonly called thrifts. The
programs, which are administered by the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board (the Bank Board) and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC), are intended to increase the
net worth (defined as an institution's assets less liabilities) of
weakened thrifts, so that they can restructure and return to
profitability. The act requires GAO to audit the programs and
report to the Congress.
GAO's first report analyzed the programs' design and use of
accounting principles. In this report, GAO describes the
industry's performance and status of the programs during the
first half of 1984 and discusses the Bank Board's and FDIC's
examination and processing of applications for assistance.

While, as a whole, the thrift industry was profitable for the first
half of 1984 and experienced moderate increases in its net
worth, most thrifts receiving net worth certificate assistance
reported losses and declining net worth. GAO's review of the
programs' application process indicated that both the Bank
Board and FDIC approved or disapproved applications in
accordance with prescribed statutory and regulatory require-
ments.
