An insured institution shall appraise each parcel of real estate owned which is or becomes a scheduled item, except that the foregoing requirement shall not apply to any parcel of real estate that is sold and reacquired less than 12 months subsequent to the most recent appraisal

made pursuant to this sentence. A dated, signed copy of each report of appraisal made pursuant to any provision of this paragraph shall be retained in the institution's records.

(b) By examiners. In connection with each examination of an insured institution or service corporation, the Board's examiner shall make such re-evaluation of such institution's or service corporation's assets (exclusive of insured or guaranteed loans) as he deems advisable or necessary. Any such re-evaluation of real estate shall be based on an appraisal as provided by § 563.17-1, except that reevaluation of parcels of real estate that are similar in all essential respects may be based on an appraisal of one or more of such parcels.

(c) Adjustment of book value. If the re-evaluation of assets, pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section, or otherwise as ordered by the Corporation, discloses that any asset of an insured institution or service corporation is over-valued on its books (exclusive of over-valuation due to fluctuations in value which are caused by changes in market interest rates), such institution or service corporation shall, at the direction of the Supervisory Agent, make an adjustment of the book value of such asset; unless otherwise directed by the Supervisory Agent, such institution shall make such adjustment by establishing and maintaining a specific reserve in an amount equal to the over-valuation.

(d) Adjustment charges. Adjustment of the book value of an asset by an insured institution or service corporation pursuant to any provision of this section may be made by charge against such institution's or service corporation's earnings for the period in which such charge is made, or against surplus, undivided profits, or reserves established for the sole purpose of absorbing losses. Any recovery of any portion of any amount previously charged against reserves established for the sole purpose of absorbing losses shall be credited to such reserves; such credit shall be in addition to all other required credits to such reserves. Any recovery of any portion of any amount previously charged against earnings shall be credited to earnings for the period in which such recovery is effected. For the purposes of this paragraph (d), any charge against a specific reserve established pursuant to any provision of this section shall be deemed to be a recovery on an asset the book

value of which was previously adjusted unless such charge is made for the purpose of concurrently writing down the book value of such asset.
