Subject: Question related to Exhibit 1 "Paid in Capital Surplus" Steve,
The FCA needs further clarification on the capital component “Paid in Capital Surplus,” which you briefly described in the memo below. We are still unclear as to what the System is proposing and how Paid in Capital Surplus would qualify as Tier 1 capital. A step-by-step hypothetical example would be helpful using balance sheet accounts. Please walk through the transaction, explaining what would be regulatory capital and why. I have provided a few scenarios below as an example.
Please consider the following questions in your response. 1) How will the consideration exchanged as part of the merger be valued? Answer-At fair value.
2) What intangible assets, other than any goodwill, may be recognized by the acquirer? Answer-Please see the appendix to FAS 141R which lists numerous intangibles.
3) If there is a bargain purchase, would that dollar amount flow through to capital from gain recognition on the income statement, or be recorded directly as capital? Answer-It would flow through the income statement.
4) Would the “Paid-in-Capital Surplus” account be the rough equivalent of unallocated retained earnings or would the amount be earmarked for allocation to specific borrowers? Answer-It is our view that this would certainly be the equivalent of URE even given that some Farm Credit institutions might attribute (not allocate) the Paid-in Capital Surplus to their patrons. Thanks in advance for your responses. Wade Wynn703-883-4262 From: Staley, Steve

Subject: Short Definition of FAS 141R-Business Combinations
Hello Wade, your capital team asked for the short definition of FAS 141R-Business Combinations which is bulleted below:
-It's effective 1-1-09 for all entities including cooperatives such as ourselves.
-It sets aside pool accounting for combinations; you can no longer simply add the balance sheets together if the purchase is at book value.
-An acquirer and acquiree must be identified as there is no longer the concept of a merger of equals.
-The aquiree's balance sheet is fair valued and brought onto the acquirer's balance sheet at this fair value. Retained earnings plus the difference between fair value and book value is placed into the acquirers capital using the caption "Paid in Capital Surplus".
-If the purchase price exceeds the fair value, then the excess is placed in "Goodwill".
I am available for discussion. Best regards.
