  "summary": "This Subtopic governs the accounting for notes receivable arising from time-sharing interval sales, which are typically seller-financed recourse promissory notes with 5- to 10-year terms. It requires uncollectibility (of both principal and interest) to be measured on actual collection experience rather than on proceeds from receivable sales or securitizations, and requires an allowance for credit losses estimated each reporting period (at least quarterly) under Subtopic 326-20. It also prescribes specific disclosures about note maturities, interest rates, and allowance activity, including receivables sold with recourse.",
  "key_points": [
    "Uncollectibility covers both principal and interest; accrued interest income receivable determined to be uncollectible is charged against interest income when so determined (310-978-35-2).",
    "Uncollectibility occurs when a receivable becomes wholly uncollectible or is modified so that less than 100 percent of the original note is collected, and is measured on actual collection experience—not on proceeds from receivable sales, securitizations, or hypothecations—regardless of who services the receivables (310-978-35-3).",
    "Note modifications and deferments are accounted for under Topic 310; downgrades resulting in an expected credit loss are accounted for under Topic 326, with resulting reductions in recorded investment charged against the allowance for uncollectibles (310-978-35-4).",
    "Incremental, direct costs of collection programs are charged to expense as incurred (310-978-35-4).",
    "The seller must evaluate receivables and the appropriateness of its allowance each reporting period and at least quarterly under Subtopic 326-20, with a corresponding adjustment to cost of sales and inventory (310-978-35-5).",
    "The allowance is determined considering expected credit losses by year of sale, aging, unit location, contract terms, collection experience, economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other qualitative factors (310-978-35-6).",
    "Required disclosures include five-year maturities of notes receivable reconciled to the balance sheet, weighted average and range of stated interest rates, estimated cost to complete improvements and promised amenities, and allowance activity—including activity on receivables sold with recourse (310-978-50-1)."

Note also that most of the old revenue/derecognition paragraphs were superseded by ASU 2014-09, so revenue on time-share sales now runs through Topic 606.",

Most sales of time-sharing intervals are to retail consumers, who often choose to use seller-provided financing. Although certain financial institutions will participate in the securitization or hypothecation of portfolios of time-sharing receivables, financial institutions typically will not finance the purchase of individual time-sharing intervals. Therefore, a majority of the sales price is often financed by the [time-share](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#time-share "See Interval.") seller through a promissory note (generally, with a term of 5 to 10 years) signed by the buyer. The promissory note is typically a [recourse](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#recourse "The right of a transferee of receivables to receive payment from the transferor of those receivables for any of the following: Failure of debtors to pay when due The effects of prepayments Adjustments resulting from defects in the eligibility of the transferred receivables.") note secured by the time-sharing [interval](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/i/#interval "The specific period (generally, a specific week) during the year that a time-sharing unit is specified by agreement to be available for occupancy by a particular customer. Also denoted Time-Sharing Interest or Time-Share."). Delinquency and default rates on promissory notes vary widely among individual time-sharing entities and tend to fluctuate in line with the general state of the economy.

In an effort to manage cash flows, many time-share sellers will sell, hypothecate, securitize, or otherwise monetize their receivables through another party. In general, those transactions are completed with some recourse to the time-share seller (that is, if receivables are uncollectible, the seller is liable for the bad debts up to stated limits).

The collection of notes receivable is an important function for sellers of [time-sharing](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#time-sharing "An arrangement in which a seller sells or conveys the right to occupy a dwelling unit for specified periods in the future. Forms of time-sharing arrangements include but are not limited to fixed and floating time, interval ownership, undivided interests, points programs, vacation clubs, right-to-use arrangements such as tenancy-for-years arrangements, and arrangements involving special-purpose entities. In this context, an undivided interest is a time-sharing arrangement that involves a tenant-in-common interest in a condominium unit or entire improved property, and in which the interest holder is assigned a specific period (generally, a specific week). The interest holder is also assigned a specific unit if the undivided interest is in the entire improved property.") intervals. [Time-share](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#time-share "See Interval.") sellers experience some level of [uncollectibility](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/u/#uncollectibility "A situation in which, as a result of credit issues, the time-share seller is unable to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of a note receivable from a buyer, or a time-share receivable has not been written off but facts and circumstances indicate that it is probable that the seller will not collect all contractual payments. Any sale that, as a result of credit issues, is cancelled or modified subsequent to being recorded as a sale is considered uncollectible. For purposes of this definition, probable is defined in paragraph 450-20-25-1 as \"likely to occur\".") in a notes receivable portfolio in the ordinary course of business. To maximize collections, sellers use several kinds of collection programs, including modifications, deferments, assumptions, and downgrades. Sellers incur various costs in using those collection programs. The following provides guidance on accounting for various forms of uncollectibility and the associated costs.

Uncollectibility occurs whenever a receivable either becomes wholly uncollectible or is modified in some manner that results in less than 100-percent collection of the original note. The measurement of uncollectibility shall be based on actual receivables collection experience (and other considerations)—whether the seller or a third party is the servicer of the receivables—rather than the amounts a seller receives as proceeds for receivables sales, securitizations, or hypothecations.

A creditor (time-share seller) shall account for a note receivable modification or [deferment](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/d/#deferment "The postponement of some or all of a debtor's payment obligations.") in accordance with Topic 310.A creditor shall account for a [downgrade](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/d/#downgrade "A transaction under which, as a result of credit concerns, the holder of a time-sharing interval returns the interval to the seller in exchange for a lower-valued interval (and a corresponding reduction in contractual payment obligation).

Incremental, direct costs associated with uncollectibility, such as costs of collection programs, shall be charged to expense as incurred.

When a time-sharing sale transaction has been recorded, accounting for the allowance for credit losses follows similar valuation principles as any receivable. Each reporting period and at least quarterly a seller evaluates its receivables, estimates the amount it expects to ultimately collect, and evaluates the appropriateness of its allowance pursuant to Subtopic 326-20 on financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The allowance is then adjusted in accordance with Subtopic 326-20. A corresponding adjustment is also made to cost of sales and inventory.

The allowance for credit losses shall be determined based on consideration of expected credit losses by year of sale, as well as the aging of notes receivable and factors such as the location of the time-sharing units, contract terms, collection experience, economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other qualitative factors as appropriate in the circumstances.
