  "summary": "ASC 320-10 governs the accounting and reporting for all investments in debt securities (post-ASU 2016-01, equity securities moved to Topic 321). At acquisition an entity must classify each debt security as trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity (320-10-25-1) and document that classification (320-10-25-2); trading and AFS securities are carried at fair value (unrealized gains/losses in earnings and OCI, respectively) while HTM securities are carried at amortized cost (320-10-35-1). The Subtopic's core tension is the restrictive \"positive intent and ability to hold to maturity\" standard, the narrow list of sales/transfers that do not \"taint\" the HTM portfolio, and the required category disclosures.",
  "key_points": [
    "At acquisition, debt securities must be classified as trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity, with AFS as the residual category, and the classification must be documented (320-10-25-1; 320-10-25-2).",
    "HTM classification requires positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, which is distinct from the mere absence of an intent to sell; securities available to be sold for liquidity, rate changes, tax planning, or asset-liability management, convertible debt, and securities that can be prepaid so the holder would not recover substantially all of its recorded investment cannot be HTM (320-10-25-3 through 25-5).",
    "Subsequent measurement: trading at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses in earnings; AFS at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses in other comprehensive income (except hedged portions under Topic 815); HTM at amortized cost; interest and premium/discount amortization go to earnings for all three (320-10-35-1; 320-10-35-4).",
    "A sale or transfer of an HTM security for a reason other than those in 320-10-25-6, 25-9, and 25-14 taints the entire HTM portfolio and requires reclassification of remaining HTM securities to available-for-sale in the period of the sale (320-10-35-8 through 35-9).",
    "Non-tainting events include significant deterioration in issuer creditworthiness, certain tax-law and regulatory changes, a major business combination or disposition, and isolated, nonrecurring, unusual events that could not have been reasonably anticipated; sales near maturity or after collecting at least 85 percent of principal outstanding at acquisition are treated as maturities (320-10-25-6; 320-10-25-9; 320-10-25-14 through 25-15).",
    "Transfers between categories are recorded at fair value, with specified treatment of unrealized gains/losses and reversal of any existing allowance for credit losses in earnings on HTM-to-AFS and AFS-to-HTM transfers (320-10-35-10; 320-10-35-10A; 320-10-35-10B; 320-10-45-8B).",
    "Disclosures by major security type (based on nature and risks) include amortized cost basis, aggregate fair value, total allowance for credit losses, gross unrealized gains and losses, and contractual maturity groupings, plus proceeds and gross realized gains/losses from AFS sales and the circumstances of any HTM sale or transfer (320-10-50-1B; 50-2; 50-5; 50-5A; 50-9; 50-10)."

  "student_note": "Exams love the HTM \"tainting\" rules: students often assume any sale before maturity destroys HTM classification, but sales due to the enumerated changes in circumstances, isolated/nonrecurring/unusual events, or sales near maturity or after 85% of principal has been collected are permitted. Also remember that after ASU 2016-01 this Topic covers only debt securities (equity securities are in Topic 321) and credit impairment is now handled in Subtopic 326-20/326-30, not here.",

At acquisition, an entity shall classify [debt securities](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/d/#debt-security "Any security representing a creditor relationship with an entity. The term debt security also includes all of the following: Preferred stock that by its terms either must be redeemed by the issuing entity or is redeemable at the option of the investor A collateralized mortgage obligation (or other instrument) that is issued in equity form but is required to be accounted for as a nonequity instrument regardless of how that instrument is classified (that is, whether equity or debt) in the issuer's statement of financial position U.S. Treasury securities U.S. government agency securities Municipal securities Corporate bonds Convertible debt Commercial paper All securitized debt instruments, such as collateralized mortgage obligations and real estate mortgage investment conduits Interest-only and principal-only strips. The term debt security excludes all of the following: Option contracts Financial futures contracts Forward contracts Lease contracts Receivables that do not meet the definition of security and, so, are not debt securities, for example: Trade accounts receivable arising from sales on credit by industrial or commercial entities Loans receivable arising from consumer, commercial, and real estate lending activities of financial institutions.") into one of the following three categories:

It is of a type commonly dealt in on securities exchanges or markets or, when represented by an instrument, is commonly recognized in any area in which it is issued or dealt in as a medium for investment. It either is one of a class or series or by its terms is divisible into a class or series of shares, participations, interests, or obligations.") is acquired with the intent of selling it within hours or days, the security shall be classified as [trading](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#trading "An activity involving securities sold in the near term and held for only a short period of time. The term trading contemplates a holding period generally measured in hours and days rather than months or years. See paragraph 948-310-40-1 for clarification of the term trading for a mortgage banking entity."). However, at acquisition an entity is not precluded from classifying as trading a security it plans to hold for a longer period. Classification of a security as trading shall not be precluded simply because the entity does not intend to sell it in the near term.
    
2.  b

Amortized cost is relevant only if a security is actually held to maturity. Use of the held-to-maturity category is restrictive because the use of amortized cost must be justified for each investment in a debt security. At acquisition, an entity shall determine if it has the positive intent and ability to hold a security to maturity, which is distinct from the mere absence of an intent to sell. If management's intention to hold a debt security to maturity is uncertain, it is not appropriate to carry that investment at amortized cost. In establishing intent, an entity shall consider pertinent historical experience, such as sales and transfers of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity. A pattern of sales or transfers of those securities is inconsistent with an expressed current intent to hold similar debt securities to maturity.

An entity shall not classify a debt security as held-to-maturity if the entity has the intent to hold the security for only an indefinite period. Consequently, a debt security shall not, for example, be classified as held-to-maturity if the entity anticipates that the security would be available to be sold in response to any of the following circumstances:

1.  a
    
    Changes in market interest rates and related changes in the security's prepayment risk
    
2.  b
    
    Needs for liquidity (for example, due to the withdrawal of deposits, increased demand for loans, surrender of insurance policies, or payment of insurance claims)
    
3.  c
    
    Changes in the availability of and the yield on alternative investments
    
4.  d

Specific scenarios in which a debt security shall not be classified as held-to-maturity (or where sale or transfer of a held-to-maturity security will call into question an investor's stated intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future) are as follows:

1.  a
    
    A security shall not be classified as held-to-maturity if that security can contractually be prepaid or otherwise settled in such a way that the holder of the security would not recover substantially all of its recorded investment. The justification for using historical-cost-based measurement for debt securities classified as held-to-maturity is that no matter how market interest rates fluctuate, the holder will recover its recorded investment and thus realize no gains or losses when the issuer pays the amount promised at maturity. However, that justification does not extend to receivables purchased at a substantial premium over the amount at which they can be prepaid, and it does not apply to instruments whose payments derive from prepayable receivables but have no principal balance. Therefore, a callable debt security purchased at a significant premium might be precluded from held-to-maturity classification under paragraph [860-20-35-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/860/20/#860-20-35-2) if it can be prepaid or otherwise settled in such a way that the holder of the security would not recover substantially all of its recorded investment. In addition, a mortgage-backed interest-only certificate shall not be classified as held-to-maturity. Paragraphs
    
    [860-20-35-3 through 35-6](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/860/20/#860-20-35-3)
    
    provide further guidance on application of this paragraph. Note that a debt security that is purchased late enough in its life such that, even if it was prepaid, the holder would recover substantially all of its recorded investment, could be initially classified as held-to-maturity if the conditions of this paragraph and paragraph [320-10-25-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-1) are met. (A debt security that can contractually be prepaid or otherwise settled in such a way that the holder of the security would not recover substantially all of its recorded investment may contain an embedded derivative. Therefore, such a security should be evaluated in accordance with Subtopic 815-15 to determine whether it contains an embedded derivative that needs to be accounted for separately.)
    
2.  b
    
    A debt security that is available to be sold in response to changes in market interest rates, changes in the security's prepayment risk, the entity's need for liquidity, changes in foreign exchange risk, or other similar factors shall not be included in the held-to-maturity category because the possibility of a sale is indicative that the entity does not have a positive intent and ability to hold the security to maturity. A debt security that is considered available to be sold as part of an entity's asset-liability management activities shall not be classified as held-to-maturity. Similarly, an entity that maintains a dynamic hedging program in which changes in external factors require that certain securities be sold to maintain an effective hedge would not have the intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity.
    
3.  c
    
    Securities that may need to be sold to implement tax-planning strategies (for example, to generate taxable gains to offset existing taxable losses—or vice versa—or in response to changes in the entity's anticipated future profitability—for example, if taxable losses were expected for the next several years) should be classified as available-for-sale, not held-to-maturity.
    
4.  d
    
    The sale of a held-to-maturity security in advance of any deterioration in the creditworthiness of the issuer, perhaps based solely on industry statistics, will call into question an investor's stated intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. The sale of a held-to-maturity security must be in response to an actual deterioration, not mere speculation. That deterioration shall be supported by evidence about the issuer's creditworthiness; however, the entity need not await an actual downgrading in the issuer's published credit rating or inclusion on a credit watch list.
    
5.  e
    
    The sale of held-to-maturity securities to meet regulatory capital requirements will call into question an investor's stated intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. An entity's ability and intent to hold securities to maturity would be called into question by the sale of held-to-maturity securities to realize gains to replenish regulatory capital that had been reduced by a provision for loan losses. Gains trading with held-to-maturity securities to meet an entity's capital requirements is inconsistent with the held-to-maturity notion.
    
6.  f
    
    The exercise of a put option on a security classified as held-to-maturity will call into question an investor's stated intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. Furthermore, a puttable debt security might be precluded from held-to-maturity classification pursuant to paragraph [860-20-35-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/860/20/#860-20-35-2).
    
7.  g
    
    Convertible debt securities shall not be classified as held-to-maturity. Classifying a security as held-to-maturity means that the entity is indifferent to future opportunities to profit from changes in the security's [fair value](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#fair-value "The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.") and intends to accept the debt security's stipulated contractual cash flows, including the repayment of principal at maturity. Convertible debt securities generally bear a lower interest rate because the investor hopes to benefit from appreciation in value of the option embedded in the debt security. Given the unique opportunities for profit embedded in a convertible security, it generally would be contradictory to assert the positive intent and ability to hold a convertible debt security to maturity and forego the opportunity to exercise the conversion feature. The exercise of a conversion feature on a security classified as held-to-maturity will call into question an investor's stated intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. (See Section 815-15-25 for additional guidance. If convertible debt is bifurcated into an equity option and a host debt instrument under the requirements of Subtopic 815-15, it generally still would be contradictory to assert the positive intent and ability to hold the debt host contract to maturity and forego the opportunity to exercise the conversion feature.)
    
8.  h
    
    A documented policy to initially classify all debt securities as held-to-maturity but then automatically transfer every security to available-for-sale when it reaches a predetermined point before maturity (for example, every held-to-maturity security will be transferred to available-for-sale 24 months prior to its stated maturity) so that an entity has the flexibility to sell securities is not consistent with the held-to-maturity classification. Under the policy described, the entity does not intend to hold any security to maturity.
    
9.  i
    
    An insurance entity or other regulated entity shall not classify securities as held-to-maturity and also indicate to regulators that those securities could be sold to meet liquidity needs in a defined interest rate scenario whose likelihood of occurrence is reasonably possible but not probable.

The following changes in circumstances may cause the entity to change its intent to hold a certain security to maturity without calling into question its intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. The sale or transfer of a held-to-maturity security due to one of the following changes in circumstances shall not be considered inconsistent with its original classification:

1.  a
    
    Evidence of a significant deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness (for example, a downgrading of an issuer's published credit rating)

4.  d
    
    A change in statutory or regulatory requirements significantly modifying either what constitutes a permissible investment or the maximum level of investments in certain kinds of securities, thereby causing an entity to dispose of a held-to-maturity security

    A significant increase by the regulator in the industry's capital requirements that causes the entity to downsize by selling held-to-maturity securities
    
6.  f
    
    A significant increase in the risk weights of debt securities used for regulatory risk-based capital purposes.

If a regulator directs a particular institution (rather than all institutions supervised by that regulator) to sell or transfer held-to-maturity securities (for example, to increase liquid assets), those sales or transfers are not consistent with paragraph [320-10-25-6(d)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-6), which describes a change in regulations applicable to all entities affected by the legislation or regulator enacting the change.

In addition to the changes in circumstances listed in paragraph [320-10-25-6(a) through (f)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-6), certain other events may cause the entity to sell or transfer a held-to-maturity security without necessarily calling into question (tainting) its intent to hold other debt securities to maturity. Such events must meet all of the following four conditions to avoid tainting its intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future:

With respect to the discussion in paragraph [320-10-25-6(c)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-6) about a major business combination or a major disposition, this Subtopic does not specify a quantitative threshold for a major business combination or disposition. Examples of transactions that would qualify for the exception in paragraph [320-10-25-6(c)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-6) are as follows:

1.  a
    
    Sales of held-to-maturity securities only when the combination or disposition necessitates the sale or transfer of held-to-maturity securities to maintain the entity's existing interest rate risk position or credit risk policy. Necessary transfers or sales shall occur concurrent with or shortly after the business combination or disposition. This Subtopic does not define shortly. As time passes, however, it is increasingly difficult to demonstrate that the business combination, and not other events or circumstances, necessitated the transfer or sale of held-to-maturity securities.
    
2.  b
    
    A sale of a component of an entity is an example of a major disposition.

Sales of debt securities that meet either of the following conditions may be considered as maturities for purposes of the classification of securities and the disclosure requirements under this Subtopic:

1.  a
    
    The sale of a security occurs near enough to its maturity date (or call date if exercise of the call is probable) that interest rate risk is substantially eliminated as a pricing factor. That is, the date of sale is so near the maturity or call date (for example, within three months) that changes in market interest rates would not have a significant effect on the security's fair value.
    
2.  b
    
    The sale of a security occurs after the entity has already collected a substantial portion (at least 85 percent) of the principal outstanding at acquisition due either to prepayments on the debt security or to scheduled payments on a debt security payable in equal installments (both principal and interest) over its term. For variable-rate securities, the scheduled payments need not be equal.

Selling a debt security after a substantial portion of the principal has been collected shall be considered equivalent to holding the security to maturity. The collection of 85 percent of the principal outstanding at acquisition (not the principal outstanding at issuance for securities purchased in the secondary market) constitutes a reasonable threshold of what represents a substantial portion of the principal.

The limited practical exception in the preceding paragraph applies to both of the following:

1.  a
    
    Debt securities that are payable in equal installments that comprise both principal and interest, such as certain level-payment mortgage-backed securities. For example, many banks routinely sell their investments in mortgage-backed securities after a substantial portion of the principal has been recovered through prepayments. The tail portion of a mortgage-backed security is sold because it no longer represents an efficient investment to the entity mainly due to the economic costs of accounting for remnants of the original issue.
    
2.  b
    
    Variable-rate debt securities when the scheduled payments would be payable in equal installments absent a change in interest rates.

It is not appropriate to apply the limited practical exception in paragraph [320-10-25-15](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-15) by analogy to a debt security that has a contractual payment schedule of level principal payments plus interest that accrues based on the declining outstanding principal balance; the payments on that type of security do not represent equal installments that are made up of both principal and interest.

Specific scenarios in which a debt security may be classified as held to maturity (or where sale or transfer of a held-to-maturity security will not call into question an investor's stated intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future) are as follows:

1.  a
    
    Although its asset-liability management may encompass consideration of the maturity and repricing characteristics of all investments in debt securities, an entity may decide that it can accomplish the necessary adjustments under its asset-liability management without having all of its debt securities available for disposition. In that case, the entity may choose to designate certain debt securities as unavailable to be sold to accomplish those ongoing adjustments deemed necessary under its asset-liability management, thereby enabling those debt securities to be accounted for at amortized cost on the basis of a positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity.
    
2.  b
    
    The sale of one or more held-to-maturity securities if an entity chooses to downsize to comply with a significant increase in the industry's capital requirements would not call into question the classification of other held-to-maturity securities.
    
3.  c
    
    In some circumstances it may not be possible to hold a security to its original stated maturity, such as when the security is called by the issuer before maturity. The issuer's exercise of the call option effectively accelerates the security's maturity and shall not be viewed as inconsistent with classification in the held-to-maturity category.
    
4.  d
    
    A puttable debt security shall be classified as held-to-maturity only if the entity has the positive intent and ability to hold it to maturity.
    
5.  e
    
    If a transfer of a held-to-maturity debt security is accounted for as a sale under Subtopic 860-20 and it is transferred for a reason other than those specified in paragraphs [320-10-25-6](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-6), [320-10-25-9](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-9), and [320-10-25-14](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-14), then the transfer would taint the held-to-maturity portfolio. However, if the transfer is accounted for as a secured borrowing, then the transfer would not taint the held-to-maturity portfolio. Transactions involving held-to-maturity securities that are not accounted for as sales under Subtopic 860-20 would not contradict an entity's stated intent to hold a security to maturity and, therefore, do not call into question the entity's intent to hold other debt securities to maturity. Examples of such transactions are as follows:
    
    1.  1
        
        Held-to-maturity securities pledged as collateral, provided that the transaction is not accounted for as a sale under Subtopic 860-20 and the entity intends and expects to be able to satisfy the obligation and recover access to its collateral
        
    2.  2
        
        Held-to-maturity securities subject to a repurchase agreement or a securities lending agreement, provided that the transaction is accounted for as a secured borrowing under Subtopic 860-20 and the entity intends and expects to be able to repay the borrowing
        
    3.  3
        
        Beneficial interests classified as held-to-maturity that are desecuritized in a transaction that is not accounted for as a sale if the financial assets received in or that continue to be held after the desecuritization are held to maturity. Unless the debt instrument received or retained as a result of the transaction is held to maturity, the transaction would call into question the entity's intent to hold other debt securities to maturity. Desecuritizations are not specifically included within the scope of this paragraph. Nevertheless, that guidance is also appropriate for desecuritizations that are not accounted for as sales.

The following guidance discusses a specific type of transaction in which [structured note](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#structured-note "A debt instrument whose cash flows are linked to the movement in one or more indexes, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodities prices, prepayment rates, or other market variables. Structured notes are issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, multilateral development banks, municipalities, and private entities. The notes typically contain embedded (but not separable or detachable) forward components or option components such as caps, calls, and floors. Contractual cash flows for principal, interest, or both can vary in amount and timing throughout the life of the note based on nontraditional indexes or nontraditional uses of traditional interest rates or indexes.") securities are issued in combination with other structured note securities as a unit or a pair for the purpose of achieving a certain strategic investment result for the investor. One strategy involves the purchase of two structured notes with opposite interest rate reset provisions. Under that strategy, the fixed coupon rate or maturity date for each structured note would be determined shortly after issuance depending on movements in market interest rates. Following that reset date, the resulting yields on each of the structured note securities will move in opposite directions; however, the average yield of the two securities will generally reflect the market yield of the combined instruments in effect on the issuance date. See Example 2 (paragraph [320-10-55-20](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-55-20)) for a common example of this strategy and of how the structured note transactions can be used to achieve one of many desired accounting results.

Because an entity is expected not to change its intent about a held-to-maturity security, the requirement to reassess the appropriateness of a security's classification focuses on the entity's ability to hold a security to maturity. The preceding paragraph acknowledges that facts and circumstances can change; for example, an entity can lose the ability to hold a debt security to maturity. However, that acknowledgment in no way diminishes the restrictive nature of the held-to-maturity category.

A sale or transfer of a security classified as held-to-maturity that occurs for a reason other than those specified in paragraphs [320-10-25-6](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-6), [320-10-25-9](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-9), and [320-10-25-14](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-25-14), calls into question (taints) the entity's intent about all securities that remain in the held-to-maturity category. The entity makes the same assertion about all debt securities in the held-to-maturity category—namely, that it has the positive intent and ability to hold each security to maturity. Only a sale or transfer in response to certain changes in conditions will not call into question an entity's intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future.

Available-for-sale securities shall not be automatically transferred to the trading category because the passage of time has caused the maturity date to be within one year or because management intends to sell the security within one year.

This guidance addresses the accounting for certain structured notes that are in the form of debt securities, but does not apply to any of the following:

1.  a
    
    Mortgage loans or other similar debt instruments that do not meet the definition of a security under this Subtopic
    
2.  b
    
    Traditional convertible bonds that are convertible into the stock of the issuer
    
3.  c
    
    Multicurrency debt securities
    
4.  d
    
    Debt securities classified as trading
    
5.  e
    
    [Subparagraph not used](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/updates/page-1833002/).
    
6.  f
    
    Debt securities participating directly in the results of an issuer's operations (for example, participating mortgages or similar instruments)
    
7.  g
    
    Reverse mortgages
    
8.  h
    
    [Structured note](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#structured-note "A debt instrument whose cash flows are linked to the movement in one or more indexes, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodities prices, prepayment rates, or other market variables. Structured notes are issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, multilateral development banks, municipalities, and private entities. The notes typically contain embedded (but not separable or detachable) forward components or option components such as caps, calls, and floors. Contractual cash flows for principal, interest, or both can vary in amount and timing throughout the life of the note based on nontraditional indexes or nontraditional uses of traditional interest rates or indexes.") securities that, by their terms, suggest that it is reasonably possible that the entity could lose all or substantially all of its original investment amount (for other than failure of the borrower to pay the contractual amounts due). (Such securities shall be subsequently measured at fair value with all changes in fair value reported in earnings.)
    

Also, this guidance shall be applied to those beneficial interests involving securitized financial assets that do not involve contractual cash flows.

Entities shall use the [retrospective interest method](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#retrospective-interest-method "A method of interest income recognition under which income for the current period is measured as the difference between the amortized cost at the end of the period and the amortized cost at the beginning of the period, plus any cash received during the period.") for recognizing income on structured note securities that are classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity debt securities and that meet any of the following conditions:

1.  a
    
    Either the contractual principal amount of the note to be paid at maturity or the original investment amount is at risk (for other than failure of the borrower to pay the contractual amounts due). Examples include principal-indexed notes that base principal repayment on movements in the Standard & Poor's S&P 500 Index or notes that base principal repayment on the occurrence of certain events or circumstances.
    
2.  b
    
    The note's return on investment is subject to variability (other than due to credit rating changes of the borrower) because of either of the following:
    
    1.  1
        
        There is no stated coupon rate or the stated coupon is not fixed or prespecified, and the variation in the return on investment or coupon rate is not a constant percentage of, or in the same direction as, changes in market-based interest rates or interest rate index, for example, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the U.S. Treasury Bill Index.
        
    2.  2
        
        The variable or fixed coupon rate is below market rates of interest for traditional notes of comparable maturity and a portion of the potential yield (for example, upside potential for principal) is based on the occurrence of future events or circumstances. (Examples of instruments that meet this condition include inverse floating-rate notes, dual-index floating notes, and equity-linked bear notes.)
        
3.  c
    
    The contractual maturity of the bond is based on a specific index or on the occurrence of specific events or circumstances outside the control of the parties to the transaction, excluding the passage of time or events that result in normal covenant violations. Examples of instruments that meet this condition include index amortizing notes and notes that base contractual maturity on the price of oil.

Under the retrospective interest method, the income recognized for a reporting period would be measured as the difference between the amortized cost of the security at the end of the period and the amortized cost at the beginning of the period, plus any cash received during the period. The amortized cost would be calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows using an effective yield, which is the yield that equates all past actual and current estimated future cash flow streams to the initial investment. If the effective yield is negative (that is, the sum of the newly estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the security's amortized cost), the amortized cost would be calculated using a zero percent effective yield. Example 1 (see paragraph [320-10-55-16](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-55-16)) illustrates the application of the retrospective interest method.

Section 860-10-40 provides guidance on determining whether a transfer of [securities](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#security "A share, participation, or other interest in property or in an entity of the issuer or an obligation of the issuer that has all of the following characteristics: It is either represented by an instrument issued in bearer or registered form or, if not represented by an instrument, is registered in books maintained to record transfers by or on behalf of the issuer. It is of a type commonly dealt in on securities exchanges or markets or, when represented by an instrument, is commonly recognized in any area in which it is issued or dealt in as a medium for investment. It either is one of a class or series or by its terms is divisible into a class or series of shares, participations, interests, or obligations.") shall be accounted for as a sale. With respect to [trading securities](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#trading-securities "Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term and therefore held for only a short period of time. Trading generally reflects active and frequent buying and selling, and trading securities are generally used with the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in price."), because all changes in a trading security's [fair value](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#fair-value "The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.") are reported in earnings as they occur, the sale of a trading security does not necessarily give rise to a gain or loss. Generally, a debit to cash (or trade date receivable) is recorded for the sales proceeds, and a credit is recorded to remove the security at its fair value (or sales price). If the entity is not taxed on the changes in fair value, the deferred tax accounts would be adjusted. Some adjustment to this procedure will be necessary for entities that have not yet recorded the security's change in fair value up to the point of sale (perhaps because fair value changes are recorded at the end of each day).

Although entities have different bookkeeping methods for [available-for-sale securities](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/a/#available-for-sale-securities "Investments not classified as either trading securities or as held-to-maturity securities."), generally, a sale of an available-for-sale security shall be recorded by a debit to cash (or trade date receivable) for the sales proceeds, and a credit to remove the security at its fair value (or sales price). The amount recorded in other comprehensive income, representing the unrealized gain or loss at the date of sale, is reversed into earnings, and the deferred tax accounts are adjusted. Some adjustment to this procedure will be necessary for entities that have not yet recorded the security's change in fair value up to the point of sale (perhaps because fair value changes are recorded at the end of each interim period) or when write-downs have been recognized.

All of the following debt instruments are within the scope of this Topic if they meet the definition of a [debt security](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/d/#debt-security "Any security representing a creditor relationship with an entity. The term debt security also includes all of the following: Preferred stock that by its terms either must be redeemed by the issuing entity or is redeemable at the option of the investor A collateralized mortgage obligation (or other instrument) that is issued in equity form but is required to be accounted for as a nonequity instrument regardless of how that instrument is classified (that is, whether equity or debt) in the issuer's statement of financial position U.S. Treasury securities U.S. government agency securities Municipal securities Corporate bonds Convertible debt Commercial paper All securitized debt instruments, such as collateralized mortgage obligations and real estate mortgage investment conduits Interest-only and principal-only strips. The term debt security excludes all of the following: Option contracts Financial futures contracts Forward contracts Lease contracts Receivables that do not meet the definition of security and, so, are not debt securities, for example: Trade accounts receivable arising from sales on credit by industrial or commercial entities Loans receivable arising from consumer, commercial, and real estate lending activities of financial institutions."):

1.  a
    
    Loans restructured as securities. For example, any loan that was restructured involving a modification of terms would be subject to the provisions of this Topic if the debt instrument meets the definition of a [security](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#security "A share, participation, or other interest in property or in an entity of the issuer or an obligation of the issuer that has all of the following characteristics: It is either represented by an instrument issued in bearer or registered form or, if not represented by an instrument, is registered in books maintained to record transfers by or on behalf of the issuer. It is of a type commonly dealt in on securities exchanges or markets or, when represented by an instrument, is commonly recognized in any area in which it is issued or dealt in as a medium for investment. It either is one of a class or series or by its terms is divisible into a class or series of shares, participations, interests, or obligations."). See paragraph [310-20-40-10](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/310/20/#310-20-40-10) for additional information.
    
2.  b
    
    Beneficial interests in securitized financial assets that are in equity form but that meet the definition of a debt security. For example, some beneficial interests issued in the form of equity represent solely a right to receive a stream of future cash flows to be collected under preset terms and conditions (that is, a creditor relationship), while others, according to the terms of the special-purpose entity, must be redeemed by the issuing entity or must be redeemable at the option of the investor. Consequently, those beneficial interests would be within the scope of both this Topic and Subtopic 325-40 since they are required to be accounted for as debt securities.
    
3.  c
    
    Certificates of deposit (CDs) or guaranteed investment contracts. For example, certain negotiable jumbo CDs and guaranteed investment contracts might meet the definition of security, which was modeled after the definition provided in the Uniform Commercial Code.
    
4.  d
    
    Redeemable convertible preferred stock. For example, convertible preferred stock that has mandatory redemption provisions or is redeemable at the option of the investor is considered a debt security and this Topic would apply.

Even if a loan could readily be converted into a security, the loan is not a debt security until it has been securitized. An example of unsecuritized loans is unsecuritized mortgage loans. However, after mortgage loans are converted to mortgage-backed securities, they are subject to the guidance in this Topic.

Sales of securities that the seller does not own at the time of sale are obligations to deliver securities, not investments. Short sale obligations are addressed in the guidance for certain industries (see paragraph [940-320-35-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/940/#320-940-35-1) with respect to broker-dealers and paragraph [942-405-25-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/405/942/#405-942-25-1) with respect to depository institutions).

For example, an entity invests in a limited partnership interest (or a venture capital entity) that meets the definition of an equity security. However, substantially all of the partnership's assets consist of investments in debt securities. It is not appropriate to look through the form of an investment to determine whether this Topic applies. In the specific situation described in this paragraph, the investment would be considered an equity security. So, this Topic would not apply to that type of investment. (Topic 321 and Subtopic 323-30 provide guidance on the accounting for limited partnership investments.) Another example of an investment that is considered an equity security is an investment in a mutual fund that invests only in U.S. government debt securities.

The following are descriptions of various [structured notes](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#structured-note "A debt instrument whose cash flows are linked to the movement in one or more indexes, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodities prices, prepayment rates, or other market variables. Structured notes are issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, multilateral development banks, municipalities, and private entities. The notes typically contain embedded (but not separable or detachable) forward components or option components such as caps, calls, and floors. Contractual cash flows for principal, interest, or both can vary in amount and timing throughout the life of the note based on nontraditional indexes or nontraditional uses of traditional interest rates or indexes."), using illustrative terms:

1.  a
    
    Dual-index floater. A bond with a coupon rate that is determined by the spread between two different indexes and that usually includes an above-market interest rate in Year 1. These bonds may have a teaser fixed rate for the first period of the bond's life, after which the interest rate floats according to a predetermined formula.
    
2.  b
    
    Inverse floater. A bond with a coupon rate of interest that varies inversely with changes in specified general interest rate levels or indexes, for example, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).
    
3.  c
    
    Levered inverse floater. A bond with a coupon that varies indirectly with changes in general interest rate levels and that applies a multiplier (greater than 1.00) to the specified index in its calculation of interest.
    
4.  d
    
    Delevered floater. A bond with a coupon rate of interest that lags overall movements in specified general interest rate levels or indexes.
    
5.  e
    
    Range floater. A bond in which the investor's coupon is dependent on the number of days that a reference rate stays within a preestablished collar; otherwise, the bond pays either 0% interest or a below-market rate.
    
6.  f
    
    Lower-of and higher-of floaters. A bond that pays an interest rate stated as the lower of or higher of two different formulas.
    
7.  g
    
    Ratchet floater. A bond that pays a floating rate of interest and has an adjustable cap and/or floor that moves in sync with each new reset rate.
    
8.  h
    
    Stepped cap-floor floaters. A bond that pays a floating rate of interest, subject to a scheduled cap, scheduled floor, or both.
    
9.  i
    
    Floating to floating notes. Varying coupon (first-year LIBOR or U.S. Treasury bill based, second-year prime based).
    
10.  j
     
     Floating to fixed notes. Varying coupon (first-year coupon is fixed, second- and third-year coupons are based on LIBOR, U.S. Treasury bills, or prime).
     
11.  k
     
     Indexed amortizing notes. A bond that repays principal based on a predetermined amortization schedule or target value. This value is linked to movements within a specific mortgage-backed security or index. The maturity of the bond changes as the related index changes. This instrument includes a varying maturity.
     
12.  l
     
     Equity indexed notes. Bond return of interest and/or principal is tied to a specified equity index (for example, the Standard & Poor's S&P 500 Index). This instrument may contain fixed or varying coupon rate and may place all or a portion of principal at risk.
     
13.  m
     
     Variable principal redemption bond. A bond whose principal redemption value at maturity is dependent on the change in an underlying index over a predetermined observation period. A typical scenario would be a bond that guarantees a minimum par redemption value of 100%, and the potential for a supplemental principal payment at maturity as compensation for the below-market rate of interest offered with the instrument (providing that the bond satisfies the indexing requirements as outlined in the terms of the offering).
     
14.  n
     
     Yield curve note. Fixed coupon, principal varies as follows: \[(5-year swap rate - 3-month $LIBOR - 1%) × 40 + 100%\] × par (but not less than zero).
     
15.  o
     
     Crude oil knock-in notes. 1% coupon, principal guaranteed with upside potential based on the strength of the oil market.
     
16.  p
     
     Leveraged gold notes. Coupon is zero, variable principal based on the London Gold Index. These notes are designed to incorporate a collar on gold, whereby the investor buys a call and sells a put, in exchange for the coupon.
     
17.  q
     
     Gold-linked bull note. Fixed 3% coupon, principal is guaranteed with upside potential if the price of gold increases.
     
18.  r
     
     Equity-linked bear note. Fixed 4% coupon, principal is guaranteed with upside potential if a specified Standard & Poor's index falls.
     
19.  s
     
     Step-up bonds. Bond provides an introductory above-market yield and the bond then steps up to a new coupon that will be below then-current market rates or, alternatively, the bond may be called.
     
20.  t
     
     Multi step-ups. A security that pays investors an introductory above-market yield—reflecting an embedded call option—for a short lockout period, and then is either called or steps up to a higher coupon rate (which will be below then-current market rates). These bonds can also take the form of step-down or variable step-up structures.
     
21.  u
     
     Credit-sensitive bond. A bond that has a coupon rate of interest that resets based on changes in an entity's credit rating.
     
22.  v
     
     Inflation bond. A bond with a contractual principal amount that is indexed to the inflation rate; the coupon rate is typically below that of traditional bonds of similar maturity.
     
23.  w
     
     Disaster bond. A bond that pays a coupon above that of traditional bonds; however, a substantial portion or all of the principal amount is subject to loss if a specified disaster occurs.
     
24.  x
     
     Specific equity-linked bond. A bond that pays a coupon slightly below that of traditional bonds of similar maturity; however, the principal amount is linked to the stock market performance of an equity investee of the issuer. The issuer may settle the obligation by delivering the underlying shares of the equity investee or may deliver the equivalent [fair value](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#fair-value "The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.") in cash.

Paragraph [320-10-35-40](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-35-40) requires the [retrospective interest method](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#retrospective-interest-method "A method of interest income recognition under which income for the current period is measured as the difference between the amortized cost at the end of the period and the amortized cost at the beginning of the period, plus any cash received during the period.") to recognize income on certain securities. The amortized cost amount is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows using an effective yield, which is the yield that equates all past actual and current estimates of future cash flow streams to the initial investment. If the effective yield is negative, the amortized cost amount should be calculated using a zero percent effective yield. Thus, the following procedures would be required for each reporting period:

1.  a
    
    Calculate the effective yield that equates all past actual cash flows and current estimates of future cash flows to the initial investment amount.
    
2.  b
    
    Using the rate calculated in (a), or zero percent if negative, calculate the present value of the estimated future cash flows. That amount represents the amortized cost at the end of the period.
    
3.  c
    
    Adjust the amortized cost balance to the amount calculated in (b) with the offsetting amount recognized as income for the period.

This paragraph and the following paragraph address whether an investor should account for the two structured note securities together as a unit or account for each security separately. The following indicators should be considered for purposes of identifying whether two securities should be viewed as being purchased for a specified investment strategy. All of these indicators are not required to exist for the securities to be accounted for as a unit. Judgment is required in reaching a determination.

1.  a
    
    The two securities are related in that their fair values will move in opposite directions based on changes in interest rates on a specified date, or after a specified period after issuance. The fair value changes may be caused by a change in the coupon interest rate of the two securities or by altering the maturities of the securities.
    
2.  b
    
    The two securities are issued contemporaneously and in contemplation of one another or are issued separately but the terms for their remaining lives are as described in (a).
    
3.  c
    
    The two securities are issued by the same counterparty and/or the same issuer (or issued by different issuers but structured through an intermediary).
    
4.  d
    
    The two securities were purchased by the investor for the sole purpose of achieving a desired accounting result, and the transactions considered individually would serve no valid business purpose or would not be entered into otherwise.

The substance of the investment strategy provided in Example 2 (see paragraph [320-10-55-20](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-55-20)) is that the investor has simply purchased a single market-based security that results in neither a gain nor a loss when the interest rate resets and, as such, the accounting should not reflect something different. However, other factors, such as a change in credit ratings or a change in market rates, may cause a change in fair value of the unit.

1.  a
    
    The investor purchases a 3-year, $100 par value structured note at par.
    
2.  b
    
    The principal to be repaid at maturity is based on the performance of the Standard & Poor's S&P 500 Index, which, based on current Standard & Poor's S&P Futures indexes, is expected to provide the investor with principal of $106 at the end of Year 3, and the coupon interest on the note is fixed at 6 percent per year.
    
3.  c
    
    On the acquisition date of the note, the investor expects the following cash flows and income to be recognized over the life of the note.

At the end of Year 1, assume the investor expects to receive only $80 in principal at the end of Year 3, which results in a negative effective yield of 0.71 percent over the life of the note (assume that the investor concludes that a credit loss has not occurred). Accordingly, the amortized cost amount must be reduced to the present value of the estimated future cash flows using a zero percent effective yield, or $92, at the end of Year 1. The income recognized in Year 1 is negative $2 (the amortized cost amount at the end of Year 1 in the table below of $92 less the amortized cost amount at the beginning of the year of $100 plus cash received during the year of $6). The cash flow and income recognition table as of the end of Year 1 is as follows.

At the end of Year 2, assume the S&P 500 Index market reverses and the investor now expects to receive the same cash flows that it expected upon acquisition of the note. Using the first table above, the investor would increase the amortized cost amount of the note to $103.85 at the end of Year 2, which would result in recognizing income of $17.85 in Year 2 (amortized cost from the first table at the end of Year 2 of $103.85 less the amortized cost from the second table at the end of Year 1 of $92 plus cash received in Year 2 of $6).

If accounted for as separate instruments, the entity could classify the bonds as available-for-sale. (Note that these securities would have to be accounted for as a unit rather than as separate instruments.) After the interest rates on the bonds reset, the entity will sell the bond that is in a loss position recognizing a loss in earnings of $475 million (assuming that the current interest rate is 8 percent). The bond that is in a gain position will have a $475 million unrealized gain in other comprehensive income that will be recognized in earnings as a yield adjustment over the remaining 10-year life of the instrument (assuming no further changes in value).

For illustrative purposes, amortization of the premium and the unrealized holding gain was computed on a straight-line basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities should be amortized pursuant to Subtopic 310-20. Paragraph [320-10-35-10B](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/320/10/#320-10-35-10B) requires that the unrealized [holding gain or loss](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/h/#holding-gain-or-loss "The net change in fair value of a security. The holding gain or loss does not include dividend or interest income recognized but not yet received, writeoffs, or the allowance for credit losses.") at the date of transfer be amortized in a manner consistent with any premium or discount. The Cumulative Effect on Interest Income column represents the difference between the amortization of the premium and the unrealized holding gain over the life of the security, and does not reflect any coupon interest received.

The following is the text of SEC Staff Announcement: Adjustments in Assets and Liabilities for Holding Gains and Losses as Related to the Implementation of Subtopic 320-10.

-   The SEC staff has been asked whether certain assets and liabilities, such as noncontrolling interests, certain life insurance policyholder liabilities, deferred acquisition costs, and intangible assets arising from insurance contracts acquired in business combinations, should be adjusted with a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive income at the same time unrealized holding gains and losses from securities classified as available-for-sale are recognized in other comprehensive income. That is, should the carrying value of these assets and liabilities be adjusted to the amount that would have been reported had unrealized gains and losses been realized?
    
-   Paragraph [740-20-45-11(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/740/20/#740-20-45-11) addresses specifically the classification of the deferred tax effects of unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income. Paragraph [740-20-45-11(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/740/20/#740-20-45-11) requires that the tax effects of those gains and losses be reported as charges or credits directly to other comprehensive income. That is, the recognition of unrealized holding gains and losses in equity may create temporary differences for which deferred taxes would be recognized, the effect of which would be reported in accumulated other comprehensive income along with the related unrealized holding gains and losses. Therefore, deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be recognized for the temporary differences relating to unrealized holding gains and losses as though those gains and losses actually had been realized, except the corresponding charges or credits are reported in other comprehensive income rather than as charges or credits to income in the statement of income.
    
-   By analogy to paragraph [740-20-45-11(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/740/20/#740-20-45-11), the SEC staff believes that, in addition to adjusting deferred tax assets and liabilities, registrants should adjust other assets and liabilities that would have been adjusted if the unrealized holding gains and losses from securities classified as available-for-sale actually had been realized. That is, to the extent that unrealized holding gains or losses from securities classified as available-for-sale would result in adjustments of noncontrolling interest, policyholder liabilities, deferred acquisition costs that are amortized using the gross-profits method, or intangible assets arising from insurance contracts acquired in business combinations that are amortized using the gross-profits method had those gains or losses actually been realized, the SEC staff believes that those balance sheet amounts should be adjusted with corresponding credits or charges reported directly to other comprehensive income. As a practical matter, the staff, at this time, would not extend those adjustments to other accounts such as liabilities for compensation to employees. The adjustments to asset accounts should be accomplished by way of valuation allowances that would be adjusted at subsequent balance sheet dates.
    
-   For example, certain policyholder liabilities should be adjusted to the extent that liabilities exist for insurance policies that, by contract, credit or charge the policyholders for either a portion or all of the realized gains or losses of specific securities classified as available-for-sale. Further, asset amounts that are amortized using the gross-profits method, such as deferred acquisition costs accounted for under paragraphs [944-30-35-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/944/30/#944-30-35-4) and [944-30-35-11](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/944/30/#944-30-35-11) and certain intangible assets arising from insurance contracts acquired in business combinations, should be adjusted to reflect the effects that would have been recognized had the unrealized holding gains and losses actually been realized. Further, capitalized acquisition costs associated with insurance contracts covered by paragraphs [944-30-35-1A through 35-3A](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/944/30/#944-30-35-1A) and [944-30-35-17](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/944/30/#944-30-35-17) should not be adjusted for an unrealized holding gain or loss unless a "premium deficiency" would have resulted had the gain or loss actually been realized.
    
-   This announcement should not affect reported net income. It addresses only the adjustment of certain assets and liabilities and the reporting of unrealized holding gains and losses from securities classified as available for sale.
