277.0. "DCU facts, figures & quotes" by GUFFAW::GRANSEWICZ (I'M DCU and you're not.) Thu Sep 05 1991 19:37

    
    [Permission to forward or re-post this note is granted.]
    
    The following is a summary of facts, figures and quotes concerning
    DCU's participation loans and "investments".  Most of it has been
    posted in various topics throughout this conference and I thought
    it would be helpful to put it all together for people to read.
    
    It will also serve as a good source of real information for those who
    will be attending next weeks informal meeting with the Board of
    Directors.
    
    If you have any questions concerning this information, please post a
    reply to this topic.

    Source: DCU communication from Chairman of the Board, Mark Steinkrauss,
	    sent in the monthly statement.  The exact date is unknown.  One
	    paragraph reads "In 7 1/2 years we've grown from".  Since formed
	    in 1980, this would date the letter to the mid-1987 time frame.

    'Q. How does DCU invest its money?'

    'A. Because we view DCU as the guardian of members' savings we are
    very conservative in our investment policies.  We reinvest savings in
    member loans.  Additional investments are in government securities and
    federally insured banks.  We deal with the highest quality financial
    institutions and don't invest in any sort of "speculative" instruments.'

    (Note: Quotes around the word speculative are in the original letter.)

    "We will continue our prudent lending and investment practices so that
    our members' investments remain safe and sound." (M. Steinkrauss, Chairman)

    "Finally, as we progress through 1991, we will continue to focus on the
    security of funds while providing our members with the best possible
    service."  (M. Steinkrauss, Chairman)

    "As the industry reported unprecedented losses, DCU's financial
    performance improved with Net Income for 1990, on target at .8% or $.3
    million.  We maintain a conservation cash position and invest in only
    the highest quality money-market investments."  (S. Shapiro, Treasurer)

    "Most of our earnings were placed in reserves as we anticipate
    continued pressure on the real estate market, especially in New
    England."  (S. Shapiro, Treasurer)

    " (3) Loans

    	The credit union grants home equity loans, residential loans and
    consumer loans to members.  The credit union also participates in
    commercial real estate loans primarily in the Cape Cod region.
    Approximately 67% of the loans granted by the credit union are
    secured by real estate.  The ability and willingness of the home
    equity, single family residential and consumer borrowers to honor their
    repayment commitments is generally dependent on the level of overall
    economic activity within the borrowers geographic areas and real estate
    values.  The ability and willingness of commercial real estate borrowers 
    to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the 
    health of the real estate economic environment in the borrowers 
    geographic areas and the general economy."
