Divisions & Functions
Development Corporation Division (DCD)
The Development Corporation Division provides loans and technical assistance
to small, locally-owned businesses to help stimulate and facilitate economic
development in the private sector. The DCD does not compete with any
private banks and financial institutions in funding private enterprise, thus,
requires applicants to first seek financial assistance from established banks
and financial institutions before submitting a loan application to DCD.

Message from the Chairman
To the People of the Commonwealth:
H
afa Adai!
It gives us great pleasure to report the
Commonwealth Development Authority’s (CDA’s) activities
and accomplishments for fiscal years 2008 to 2012.
We are living in uncertain times; and, as the Commonwealth’s
economic activity remains stagnant, CDA managed to survive by
implementing reforms and focusing on achieving development results.
On our Development Corporation Division (DCD), in spite of difficulty
in loan collections, we were able to loan out funds in the aggregate
amount of $3,234,385.00.
Many of our clients were not able to withstand the recessionary
pressures. So, we assessed our current loan portfolio, talked to our
clients on individual basis and offered workouts & solutions, such as
the Debt Relief Program and the Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure options.
Since adopting the Debt Relief Program, we worked out forty-five
(45) non-performing loans and brought borrowers back to paying
mode. We continue with our efforts to collect, foreclosed and sold
properties through auctions. Properties that proved difficult to sell
were negotiated for outright leases, thus insuring income from
otherwise idle assets. These efforts brought in loanable funds at
the same time helped preserve and improve the physical conditions
of these properties.
On the Development Banking Division (DBD), the long outstanding
issue of converting to equity the Commonwealth Utilities
Corporation’s (CUC) loan to CDA came to an end. In September
of 2009, the Commonwealth Public Utilities Commission approved
the $45 Million Preferred Stock Agreement between CDA and
CUC which was agreed to and signed by both parties in May of
2009. CDA’s case vs. CUC was dismissed on April 16, 2010. CUC’s
annual dividend payment to CDA, pursuant to the Preferred Stock
Agreement, shall begin on October 12, 2013.
On March 30, 2009, the CDA Board granted the Commonwealth Ports
Authority’s (CPA’s) request for moratorium on its loan payments;
five (5) years on the principal and two (2) years on interest. This
action of the CDA Board of Directors provided CPA flexibility in
terms of repayment capability and has enable the agency to meet
its other obligations.

n a n d t h e E x e c u t i v e Di r e ctor
In February of 2008 and 2009, on behalf of the CNMI Government,
CDA filed with the Internal Revenue Service Private Activity Bond
Volume Cap Certificate; $41M for 2008 and $42.38M for 2009.
This increases our ability to float housing bonds.
Between October 1, 2007 and September 30, 2012, CDA received
and processed three (3) Qualifying Certificate (QC) applicants.
CDA recommended tax relief for all three applicants – Saipan
Laulau Development, Inc. dba Saipan Laolao Bay Golf Resort, PTI
Services, Inc. and Sandy Beach Homes, LLC. On November 15,
2011, PTI Services, Inc. surrendered its QC with the company
opting to scale back its call center expansion.
In early part of fiscal year 2009, the QC Rules and Regulations
were amended to restate, enhance and clarify some provisions in
the existing regulations.
On the operations side, CDA reduced its expenditures by limiting
travels, placed a moratorium on salary increases and reallocations,
observed energy savings measures, cut expenses on office supplies,
maintenance, transportation and all others. We will continue to
make these cuts in our operational budget without obstructing our
delivery of quality public services.
As we face the onslaught of a financial meltdown, CDA remained
solid and strong to invest in the future. We will continue to tread
the path to development, assist the private and public sectors, help
build small local industries, and contribute towards improving the
lives of our people.

arly in fiscal year 2010, on October
15th, the 2nd Dialogue on CDA Matters
was held at the American Memorial
Park Visitors Center. There were 78
attendees; 53 from Saipan, 10 from Tinian
and 15 from Rota. The program was brought
to Rota and Tinian with the use of an IT&E
unchecked DSL line. The following week, in
observance of its 25th year of existence, CDA
had an open house opened to the public and
particularly its clients, for a week. Attendees
qualified for the raffle (those who attended
both the Dialogue and Open House) – ten
$500.00 coupons as credit to the set aside
interest (for debt relief borrowers) and two
lap tops. Seventy-seven (77) people came,
mostly CDA clients; 48 were from Saipan,
15 from Rota and 14 from Tinian. The result
brought over some interested individuals
inquiring on new loans and on current issues
with CDA clients, their concerns and questions
were heard and are now being addressed.
On December 17, 2010, the CDA Board of
Directors approved Sandy Beach Homes,
LLC’s QC application and recommended to
the Governor tax relief of 100% abatement of
any developer infrastructure tax related to the
construction of a 60-unit affordable residential
housing complex and 100% abatement
of excise tax for construction materials,
equipment, furnitures and fixtures.
Cognizant of its diminishing loanable funds,
on December 17, 2010, CDA prepared and
on behalf of the CNMI as a State, submitted
the Notice of Intent to apply for the U.S.
Department of Treasury’s State Small
Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) Program.
The SSBCI is a federal program that was
funded with $1.5 billion to strengthen States
capital access programs and other innovative
credit support programs that support lending
to small businesses and small manufacturers.
The CNMI’s targeted share under this initiative
is $13,168,350.00
On March 22 & 23, 2011, CDA management
attended the 2011 Economic Restoration
Summit held at Saipan World Resort and
sponsored by CNMI Department of Commerce
and CDA. The goals for the Summit were to:
raise awareness of local economic issues and
promote greater participation in the creation of
solutions and action items in order to develop
an economically prosperous future.
On July 12, 2011, on behalf of the CNMI
Government, CDA applied for SSBCI Program
funding allocation of $13M loanable funds.
The two components of the Program that CDA
applied for are: the cash collateral support which
basically sets up a loan reserve insurance funds
in the bank where the borrower and the lender
will have to contribute certain percentage of
the loan into the reserve account; CDA or the
CNMI thru the program will then match the
contribution by the lender with matching funds
that can be equal to or greater. The other
component involves loan purchase participation
similar to a loan guaranty program that CDA
had with local banks.
In August of 2011, the CDA endorsed efforts
to revive the Junior Achievement Company
Program in the CNMI in partnership with
the Junior Achievement of Guam, Inc., the
CNMI Public School System and the Northern
Marianas College.
The Company Program
is just one of the Junior Achievement’s
many programs designed to inspire youth to
succeed in global economy. It is an afterschool program for high school students that
teaches entrepreneurship, financial literacy
and workforce readiness.
On September 14, 2011, the CDA Board approved
a $600,000 investment, as equity contribution,

50% common stocks and 50% preferred stocks,
with the Artic Circle Air Company (ACAC). ACAC
is a locally-owned airline that will transport local
produce to and from the CNMI and Guam.
The Development Corporation Division approved
$609,000.00 in direct loans in fiscal year 2011.
2012
I
n January of 2012, the CNMI Junior
Achievement Company Program was relaunched successfully. CDA endorsed this
Program in fiscal year 2011 and assigned
a senior staffer to help organize the event. The
program takes students through the entire
business process — capitalization, research
& development, production, marketing, sales
and liquidation. In addition to learning how
businesses function, students develop consensus
building, critical thinking, public speaking, group
and self-assessment skills.
As determined by the U.S. Department of
Treasury that CDA does not meet two of the
considerations for eligibility under the SSBCI
Act, CDA on behalf of the CNMI, revised its
application changing the applicant to that of
the Department of Commerce. The revised
application was submitted on January 18, 2012
and was approved on February 27, 2012. The
U.S. Treasury allocated $13M of SSBCI funds
to the CNMI; $4.6M for the Loan Purchase
Participation Program and $8.5M for the Cash
Collateral Support Program. CDA acts as the
Implementing Agency while the Department of
Commerce is the Responsible Agency for the
10
COMMONWEALTH DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY 2008-2012 ANNUAL REPORT
CNMI. Out of the $13.5M allocation, $4.35M was
remitted to the CNMI General Fund on March
12, 2014 as the first of the three disbursements
of the funds.
In May of 2012, the Development Corporation
Division (DCD) Rules and Regulations was
amended to restate, enhance and clarify the
existing regulations on the Deed in Lieu of
Foreclosure Section.
