Amortization and Market Adjustments for Investments
Presented by:
Sherry Pontell, USSGLAD

Amortization of Investments
3
Issue
Both discount amortization and premium amortization (on the liability side) are recorded in the same USSGL account 253300 “Amortization of Discount and Premium on Securities Issued by BPD.”
Having them combined in the same USSGL makes eliminations more difficult to reconcile since the discount amortization amount is not easily identified separately from the premium amortization amount.
4
Proposal
Split out the current USSGL account 253300 to have two separate accounts: one for amortization of discount and one for amortization of premium.
Modification of Account: 253300 Amortization of Discount and Premium on
Securities Issued by Federal Agencies Under General and Special Financing Authority
New Account: 253400 Amortization of Premium on Securities Issued by
Federal Agencies Under General and Special Financing Authority

Market Adjustment Accounts for Zero Coupon
Bonds
13
Issue
SFFAS 5, paragraph 50, states "Fixed value securities have a known maturity or redemption value at the time of issue. These securities should be valued at their original face (par) value net of any unamortized discount or premium.”
BPD discontinued reporting market adjustments on the Zero Coupon Bonds it issues to its trading partners to be in accordance with FASAB standards. Agencies were advised back then to no longer record market adjustments for Zero Coupon Bonds.
However, there are some agencies, like PBGC that follow FASB standards for their stand alone financial statements and do record market adjustments.
14
Proposal
Modify the definitions for the market adjustment accounts for zeros instead of deleting them.
15
Modification of Accounts
Account Title: Market Adjustment – Investments in U.S. Treasury Zero Coupon Bonds Account Number: 163800
Definition: The accumulated amount of unrealized holding gains and losses for U.S. Treasury Zero Coupon Bond investments due to adjustments to market value. In accordance with FASAB SSFAS No. 5 “Accounting for Liabilities of the Federal Government,” paragraph 50, do not use the account for market adjustments for fixed value securities. Although the normal balance for this account is a debit, it is acceptable in certain instances for this account to have a credit balance. This account does not close at year-end.
16
Modification of AccountsAccount Title: Contra Market Adjustment – Investments in U.S. Treasury Zero Coupon Bonds Account Number: 163900Definition: The offset to market adjustments for investments in U.S. Treasury Zero Coupon Bonds. The account provides a mechanism for these bonds to be reported on a basis other than market value on the Balance Sheet. In accordance with FASAB SSFAS No. 5 “Accounting for Liabilities of the Federal Government,” paragraph 50, do not use
the account for market adjustments for fixed value securities. Although the normal balance for this account is a credit, it is acceptable in certain instances for this account to have a debit balance. This account does not close at year-end.
