Consolidated Financial Results

GSA Assets

GSA assets include federal buildings, motor vehicles, and office equipment (Property and Equipment); cash balances held in the U.S. Treasury, Fund Balance with Treasury (FBWT); and debts owed to GSA mainly from other federal agencies, primarily for sales transactions or uncollected rent (Accounts Receivable). In FY 2014 GSA reported Total Assets of $39.0 billion compared to FY 2013 Total Assets of $40.3 billion, a net decrease of more than $1.2 billion. Significant changes in assets include: FBWT decreased by $1.3 billion, due primarily to the early retirement of Federal Buildings Fund (FBF) debt, which reduced FBWT by $2.1 billion, offset by positive cash flow from other FBF activities of $955 million; and reductions of $284 million in the Acquisition Services Fund (ASF) resulting mostly from reduced net operating results, and increased capital acquisitions in the motor vehicle fleet. Also, the value of GSA-owned buildings increased by $2.0 billion. This increase was mostly due to the transfer of approximately $1.9 billion from Construction-in-Progress (CIP), to the Buildings account. Much of this amount was related to FBF American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) construction projects.

GSA Liabilities

GSA liabilities are primarily amounts owed to commercial vendors for goods and services received but not yet paid (Accounts Payable), amounts GSA owes to other federal entities, and long-term estimates of future environmental remediation costs. In FY 2014, Total Liabilities were $6.8 billion; a net decrease of $839 million compared to FY 2013 Total Liabilities of $7.6 billion. This decrease was mostly attributable to the retirement of $1.7 billion in Intragovernmental Debt, offset by a $507 million increase in Environmental and Disposal Liabilities due to changes in long-term estimates for asbestos and other environmental cleanup costs.
