  "summary": "This Subtopic gives industry-specific presentation and disclosure rules for the borrowings and long-term obligations of depository and lending institutions. Significant categories of borrowings must appear as separate balance sheet line items (or one line with note detail of components), mortgage transfers treated as secured borrowings under Topic 860 must be shown as debt separately from advances, other notes payable and subordinated debt, and notes must describe the principal terms of each debt agreement. Fair value estimates of deposit liabilities must exclude core deposit intangibles.",
  "key_points": [
    "Significant categories of borrowings shall be presented as separate line items in the liability section of the balance sheet, or as a single line item with note disclosure of the components; alternatively, debt may be presented by priority (senior or subordinated) if significant categories of borrowings are separately disclosed (470-942-45-1).",
    "Transfers of mortgages accounted for as secured borrowings under Topic 860 are classified as debt of the issuing institution, and such mortgage-backed bonds must be classified separately from advances, other notes payable, and subordinated debt (470-942-45-2).",
    "In estimating the fair value of deposit liabilities, the value of long-term depositor relationships (core deposit intangibles) shall not be considered, because those are separate intangible assets rather than financial instruments (470-942-50-1).",
    "Accounting and reporting for long-term obligations is the same for financial institutions as for other entities; an unclassified balance sheet need not split current versus long-term portions, and Topic 440 requires disclosure of future payments on long-term borrowings (470-942-50-2).",
    "Notes must describe the principal terms of debt agreements, including title/nature, interest rate (fixed or floating), payment terms and maturity dates, collateral, conversion or redemption features, senior or subordinated status, and restrictive covenants such as dividend restrictions (470-942-50-3)."

Significant categories of borrowings shall be presented as separate line items in the liability section of the balance sheet, or as a single line item with appropriate note disclosure of components.

In estimating the fair value of deposit liabilities, a financial entity shall not take into account the value of its long-term relationships with depositors, commonly known as core deposit intangibles, which are separate intangible assets, not financial instruments.

Accounting and reporting requirements for long-term obligations are the same for financial institutions as for other entities. If the financial institution has an unclassified balance sheet, there is no need to separate balances into current and long-term portions. Topic 440 requires disclosure of future payments on long-term borrowings.
