## Machine-generated topic summary

ASC 470 covers a borrower's (issuer's) accounting for debt across its life cycle: balance sheet classification of short-term and callable obligations (470-10), convertible debt and debt with warrants (470-20), participating mortgages (470-30), product financing arrangements (470-40), modifications and extinguishments (470-50), troubled debt restructurings (470-60), plus industry-specific rules for oil and gas, insurance surplus notes, depository institutions, health care, not-for-profit conduit bonds, regulated operations, and real estate special assessments/TIF debt. The unifying theme is substance over form — obligations are classified and measured by their economic reality (e.g., a "sale" of future revenue, a "conveyance," or a product financing arrangement can all be borrowings), and current versus noncurrent classification turns on the creditor's demand rights at the balance sheet date. The two most heavily tested mechanics are the 470-10-45-14 refinancing exception for excluding short-term obligations from current liabilities and the 470-50-40-10 "10 percent cash flow test" that determines whether a modification or exchange is an extinguishment (new debt at fair value, gain or loss in income) or merely a continuation (new effective interest rate, no gain or loss). Troubled debt restructurings under 470-60 sit outside that model, using fair value for asset/equity settlements and prospective interest-rate adjustment for modifications of terms.

## ASC 470-10: Debt — Overall

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "ASC 470-10 is the Overall subtopic of the Debt topic and governs a borrower's balance sheet classification (current vs. noncurrent) of specific obligations: short-term obligations expected to be refinanced, due-on-demand loans, callable debt and covenant violations, revolving credit agreements with lock-box arrangements and subjective acceleration clauses, increasing-rate debt, sales of future revenue, and indexed debt. Core rules: callable and demand obligations are current unless a waiver/cure exception applies (470-10-45-10 through 45-11), and a short-term obligation may be excluded from current liabilities only if the entity intends to refinance long term and demonstrates ability via post-balance-sheet issuance of long-term debt/equity or a qualifying financing agreement (470-10-45-14). It also sets debt-versus-deferred-income classification for proceeds from sales of future revenue and disclosure requirements for maturities, unused lines of credit, and refinancings.",
  "key_points": [
    "Obligations due on demand, or that will become due on demand within one year (or operating cycle, if longer) of the balance sheet date, are current liabilities even if liquidation is not expected; a demand provision is not a subjective acceleration clause (470-10-45-10).",
    "Long-term obligations that are or will be callable because of a covenant violation at the balance sheet date are current liabilities unless the creditor has waived or lost the right to demand repayment for more than one year, or it is probable the violation will be cured within a stated grace period (470-10-45-11).",
    "Where a lender waives its call right for more than one year while retaining future covenant tests, the debt is noncurrent unless both a violation existed (or would have absent modification) at the balance sheet date and it is probable the borrower cannot cure at measurement dates within the next 12 months (470-10-45-1; Example 1 at 470-10-55-2).",
    "A short-term obligation is excluded from current liabilities only if the entity intends to refinance on a long-term basis and that intent is supported by post-balance-sheet-date issuance of long-term debt or equity securities, or by a financing agreement meeting the noncancelable/objectively determinable-covenant, no-violation, and financially capable lender conditions (470-10-45-14); the excluded amount is capped by proceeds or amounts available (470-10-45-16 through 45-19).",
    "Repaying a short-term obligation with current assets after the balance sheet date and later replenishing working capital with long-term financing does not permit exclusion from current liabilities (470-10-45-15; Example 5 at 470-10-55-33).",
    "Revolver borrowings subject to both a subjective acceleration clause and a lock-box arrangement are short-term obligations classified as current unless the 470-10-45-14 refinancing conditions are met under a separate agreement (470-10-45-5); a springing lock-box arrangement leaves the borrowings long term, with the subjective acceleration clause evaluated under 470-10-45-2.",
    "For sales of future revenue, factors such as the transaction not purporting to be a sale, significant continuing involvement, cancelability, a capped investor return, or investor recourse create a rebuttable presumption of debt classification (470-10-25-2); debt is amortized under the interest method and deferred income under the units-of-revenue method (470-10-35-3)."

  "audience_level": "intermediate",
  "student_note": "Balance sheet classification of debt is a recurring exam and practice issue: the classic trap is assuming that a post-year-end covenant waiver or a rollover of short-term borrowings automatically supports noncurrent classification — the waiver must extend more than one year (or a grace-period cure must be probable), and refinancing ability must be demonstrated by an actual long-term issuance or a qualifying, noncancelable financing agreement before the statements are issued.",

[105-10-65-7](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/105/10/#105-10-65-7) The guidance in this Subtopic applies to all entities, excluding paragraph [470-10-50-7](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-50-7), which applies to [public business entities](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#public-business-entity "A public business entity is a business entity meeting any one of the criteria below. Neither a not-for-profit entity nor an employee benefit plan is a business entity. It is required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to file or furnish financial statements, or does file or furnish financial statements (including voluntary filers), with the SEC (including other entities whose financial statements or financial information are required to be or are included in a filing). It is required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Act), as amended, or rules or regulations promulgated under the Act, to file or furnish financial statements with a regulatory agency other than the SEC. It is required to file or furnish financial statements with a foreign or domestic regulatory agency in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer. It has issued, or is a conduit bond obligor for, securities that are traded, listed, or quoted on an exchange or an over-the-counter market. It has one or more securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer, and it is required by law, contract, or regulation to prepare U.S. GAAP financial statements (including notes) and make them publicly available on a periodic basis (for example, interim or annual periods). An entity must meet both of these conditions to meet this criterion. An entity may meet the definition of a public business entity solely because its financial statements or financial information is included in another entity's filing with the SEC. In that case, the entity is only a public business entity for purposes of financial statements that are filed or furnished with the SEC.") only.

An entity receives cash from an investor and agrees to pay to the investor for a defined period a specified percentage or amount of the revenue or of a measure of income (for example, gross margin, operating income, or pretax income) of a particular product line, business segment, trademark, patent, or contractual right. It is assumed that immediate income recognition is not appropriate due to the facts and circumstances. The payment to the investor and the future revenue or income on which the payment is based may be denominated in a foreign currency.

While the classification of the proceeds from the investor as debt or deferred income depends on the specific facts and circumstances of the transaction, the presence of any one of the following factors independently creates a rebuttable presumption that classification of the proceeds as debt is appropriate:

1.  a
    
    The transaction does not purport to be a sale (that is, the form of the transaction is debt).
    
2.  b
    
    The entity has significant continuing involvement in the generation of the cash flows due the investor (for example, active involvement in the generation of the operating revenues of a product line, subsidiary, or business segment).
    
3.  c
    
    The transaction is cancelable by either the entity or the investor through payment of a lump sum or other transfer of assets by the entity.
    
4.  d
    
    The investor's rate of return is implicitly or explicitly limited by the terms of the transaction.
    
5.  e
    
    Variations in the entity's revenue or income underlying the transaction have only a trifling impact on the investor's rate of return.
    
6.  f
    
    The investor has any recourse to the entity relating to the payments due the investor.

Debt instruments may be issued with both guaranteed and contingent payments. The contingent payments may be linked to the price of a specific commodity (for example, oil) or a specific index (for example, the S&P 500). In some instances, the investor's right to receive the contingent payment (an indexing feature) is separable from the debt instrument. If the indexing feature does not warrant separate accounting under Topic 815 or the instrument does not meet the definition of a derivative under Topic 815, the entire instrument shall be accounted for in accordance with paragraphs [470-10-25-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-25-4) and [470-10-35-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-35-4).

A debt instrument may have a maturity date that can be extended at the option of the borrower at each maturity date until final maturity. In such cases, the interest rate on the note increases a specified amount each time the note is renewed. For guidance on accounting for interest, see Subtopic 835-30.

The borrower's periodic interest cost shall be determined using the interest method based on the estimated outstanding term of the debt. In estimating the term of the debt, the borrower shall consider its plans, ability, and intent to service the debt. Debt issue costs shall be amortized over the same period used in the interest cost determination. The term-extending provisions of the debt instrument should be analyzed to determine whether those provisions constitute an embedded derivative that warrants separate accounting as a derivative under Subtopic 815-10.

As the applicable index value increases such that an issuer would be required to pay an investor a contingent payment at maturity, the issuer shall recognize a liability for the amount that the contingent payment exceeds the amount, if any, originally attributed to the contingent payment feature. The liability for the contingent payment feature shall be based on the applicable index value at the balance sheet date and shall not anticipate any future changes in the index value.

Some long-term loans require compliance with certain covenants that must be met on a quarterly or semiannual basis. If a covenant violation occurs that would otherwise give the lender the right to call the debt, a lender may waive its call right arising from the current violation for a period greater than one year while retaining future covenant requirements. Unless facts and circumstances indicate otherwise, the borrower shall classify the obligation as noncurrent, unless both of the following conditions exist:

1.  a
    
    A covenant violation that gives the lender the right to call the debt has occurred at the balance sheet date or would have occurred absent a loan modification.
    
2.  b
    
    It is probable that the borrower will not be able to cure the default (comply with the covenant) at measurement dates that are within the next 12 months.
    

See Example 1 (paragraph [470-10-55-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-55-2)) for an illustration of this classification guidance.

In some situations, the circumstances (for example, recurring losses or liquidity problems) would indicate that long-term debt subject to a [subjective acceleration clause](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#subjective-acceleration-clause "A subjective acceleration clause is a provision in a debt agreement that states that the creditor may accelerate the scheduled maturities of the obligation under conditions that are not objectively determinable (for example, if the debtor fails to maintain satisfactory operations or if a material adverse change occurs).") should be classified as a current liability. Other situations would indicate only disclosure of the existence of such clauses. Neither reclassification nor disclosure would be required if the likelihood of the acceleration of the due date were remote, such as if the lender historically has not accelerated due dates of loans containing similar clauses and the financial condition of the borrower is strong and its prospects are bright.

Borrowings outstanding under certain revolving credit agreements are considered long-term debt because the borrowings are due at the end of a specified period (for example, 3 years) rather than when short-term notes roll over (for example, every 90 days). Borrowings may be collateralized, but the only note is the overall note signed at the agreement's inception. Some agreements require that the borrower maintain a [lock-box arrangement](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/l/#lock-box-arrangement "An arrangement with a lender whereby the borrower's customers are required to remit payments directly to the lender and amounts received are applied to reduce the debt outstanding. A lock-box arrangement refers to any situation in which the borrower does not have the ability to avoid using working capital to repay the amounts outstanding. That is, the contractual provisions of a loan arrangement require that, in the ordinary course of business and without another event occurring, the cash receipts of a debtor are used to repay the existing obligation."). If borrowings outstanding under the agreement are considered [long-term obligations](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/l/#long-term-obligations "Long-term obligations are those scheduled to mature beyond one year (or the operating cycle, if applicable) from the date of an entity's balance sheet."), the effect of a subjective acceleration clause on balance sheet classification is determined based on the criteria in paragraph [470-10-45-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-45-2). If borrowings outstanding are considered short-term obligations, and the borrower intends to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis, paragraph [470-10-45-13](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-45-13) applies and the debt shall be classified as a current liability because of the existence of the subjective acceleration clause.

Borrowings outstanding under a revolving credit agreement that includes both a subjective acceleration clause and a requirement to maintain a lock-box arrangement shall be considered short-term obligations.

Current liabilities shall include long-term obligations that are or will be callable by the creditor either because the debtor's [violation of a provision](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/v/#violation-of-a-provision "The failure to meet a condition in a debt agreement or a breach of a provision in the agreement for which compliance is objectively determinable, whether or not a grace period is allowed or the creditor is required to give notice of its intention to demand repayment.") of the debt agreement at the balance sheet date makes the [obligation callable](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/o/#callable-obligation "An obligation is callable at a given date if the creditor has the right at that date to demand, or to give notice of its intention to demand, repayment of the obligation owed to it by the debtor.") or because the violation, if not cured within a specified grace period, will make the obligation callable. Accordingly, such callable obligations shall be classified as current liabilities unless either of the following conditions is met:

1.  a
    
    The creditor has waived or subsequently lost (for example, the debtor has cured the violation after the balance sheet date and the obligation is not callable at the time the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued \[as discussed in Section 855-10-25\]) the right to demand repayment for more than one year (or operating cycle, if longer) from the balance sheet date. If the obligation is callable because of violations of certain provisions of the debt agreement, the creditor needs to waive its right with regard only to those violations.
    
2.  b
    
    For long-term obligations containing a grace period within which the debtor may cure the violation, it is [probable](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#probable "The future event or events are likely to occur.") that the violation will be cured within that period, thus preventing the obligation from becoming callable.

Drawing a distinction between significant violations of critical conditions and technical violations is not practicable. A violation that a debtor considers to be technical may be considered critical by the creditor. Furthermore, a creditor may choose to use a technical violation as a means to withdraw from its lending relationship with the debtor. If the violation is considered insignificant by the creditor, then the debtor should be able to obtain a waiver as discussed in the preceding paragraph.

A short-term obligation shall be excluded from current liabilities if the entity intends to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis (see paragraph [470-10-45-12B](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-45-12B)) and the intent to refinance the short-term obligation on a long-term basis is supported by an ability to consummate the refinancing demonstrated in either of the following ways:

1.  a
    
    Post-balance-sheet-date issuance of a long-term obligation or equity securities. After the date of an entity's balance sheet but before that balance sheet is issued or is available to be issued (as discussed in Section 855-10-25), a long-term obligation or equity securities have been issued for the purpose of refinancing the short-term obligation on a long-term basis. If equity securities have been issued, the short-term obligation, although excluded from current liabilities, shall not be included in owners' equity.
    
2.  b
    
    Financing agreement. Before the balance sheet is issued or is available to be issued (as discussed in Section 855-10-25), the entity has entered into a financing agreement that clearly permits the entity to refinance the short-term obligation on a long-term basis on terms that are readily determinable, and all of the following conditions are met:
    
    1.  1
        
        The agreement does not expire within one year (or operating cycle) from the date of the entity's balance sheet and during that period the agreement is not cancelable by the lender or the prospective lender or investor (and obligations incurred under the agreement are not callable during that period) except for violation of a provision with which compliance is objectively determinable or measurable. For purposes of this Subtopic, violation of a provision means failure to meet a condition set forth in the agreement or breach or violation of a provision such as a restrictive covenant, representation, or warranty, whether or not a grace period is allowed or the lender is required to give notice. Financing agreements cancelable for violation of a provision that can be evaluated differently by the parties to the agreement (such as a material adverse change or failure to maintain satisfactory operations) do not comply with this condition.
        
    2.  2
        
        No violation of any provision in the financing agreement exists at the balance sheet date and no available information indicates that a violation has occurred thereafter but before the balance sheet is issued or is available to be issued (as discussed in Section 855-10-25), or, if one exists at the balance sheet date or has occurred thereafter, a waiver has been obtained.
        
    3.  3
        
        The lender or the prospective lender or investor with which the entity has entered into the financing agreement is expected to be financially capable of honoring the agreement.

Repayment of a short-term obligation before funds are obtained through a long-term refinancing requires the use of current assets. Therefore, if a short-term obligation is repaid after the balance sheet date and subsequently a long-term obligation or equity securities are issued whose proceeds are used to replenish current assets before the balance sheet is issued or is available to be issued (as discussed in Section 855-10-25), the short-term obligation shall not be excluded from current liabilities at the balance sheet date. See Example 5 (paragraph [470-10-55-33](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-55-33)) for an illustration of this guidance.

Further, if amounts that could be obtained under the financing agreement fluctuate (for example, in relation to the entity's needs, in proportion to the value of collateral, or in accordance with other terms of the agreement), the amount to be excluded from current liabilities shall be limited to a reasonable estimate of the minimum amount expected to be available at any date from the scheduled maturity of the short-term obligation to the end of the fiscal year (or operating cycle). If no reasonable estimate can be made, the entire outstanding short-term obligation shall be included in current liabilities.

The entity may intend to seek an alternative source of financing rather than to exercise its rights under the existing agreement when the short-term obligation becomes due. The entity must intend to exercise its rights under the existing agreement, however, if that other source does not become available. The intent to exercise may not be present if the terms of the agreement contain conditions or permit the prospective lender or investor to establish conditions, such as interest rates or collateral requirements, that are unreasonable to the entity.

Replacement of a short-term obligation with another short-term obligation after the date of the balance sheet but before the balance sheet is issued or is available to be issued (as discussed in Section 855-10-25) is not, by itself, sufficient to demonstrate an entity's ability to refinance the short-term obligation on a long-term basis. If, for example, the replacement is made under the terms of a revolving credit agreement that provides for renewal or extension of the short-term obligation for an uninterrupted period extending beyond one year (or operating cycle) from the date of the balance sheet, the revolving credit agreement must meet the conditions in paragraph [470-10-45-14(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-45-14) to justify excluding the short-term obligation from current liabilities. Similarly, if the replacement is a rollover of commercial paper accompanied by a standby credit agreement, the standby agreement must meet the conditions in that paragraph to justify excluding the short-term obligation from current liabilities.

As indicated in paragraph [470-10-45-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-45-2), in some situations long-term debt subject to a [subjective acceleration clause](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#subjective-acceleration-clause "A subjective acceleration clause is a provision in a debt agreement that states that the creditor may accelerate the scheduled maturities of the obligation under conditions that are not objectively determinable (for example, if the debtor fails to maintain satisfactory operations or if a material adverse change occurs).") shall be reclassified. That paragraph explains that other situations would indicate only disclosure of the existence of such clauses. That paragraph states further that neither reclassification nor disclosure is required if the likelihood of the acceleration of the due date is remote, such as when the lender historically has not accelerated due dates of loans containing similar clauses and the financial condition of the borrower is strong and its prospects are bright.

Under paragraph [470-10-45-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-45-2), the lender has already loaned money on a long-term basis. To continue long-term classification requires a judgment about the likelihood of acceleration of the due date. Paragraphs

[470-10-45-13 through 45-20](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-45-13)

cover circumstances in which the obligation is by its terms short-term. For such an obligation to be excluded from current liabilities, the lender must advance new funds or refinance the short-term obligation on a long-term basis based on conditions existing on the date of the new loan or refinancing. Therefore, to classify an obligation as long-term, paragraphs

[470-10-45-13 through 45-20](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-45-13)

require a higher standard for a financing agreement that permits an entity to refinance a short-term obligation on a long-term basis than paragraph [470-10-50-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-50-2) requires for an existing long-term loan for which early repayment might be requested.

This Example illustrates the guidance in paragraph [470-10-45-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-45-1) for the classification of long-term debt when a debt covenant violation is waived by a lender for a period greater than a year.

A borrower has a long-term loan that requires compliance with certain covenants, such as maintenance of a minimum current ratio, minimum debt-to-equity ratio, or minimum level of shareholders' equity. The borrower must meet the covenants on a quarterly or semiannual basis. At one of the compliance dates, the borrower violates a covenant. That violation gives the lender the right to call the debt. The lender waives that right for a period greater than one year but retains the future covenant requirements.

The issue is whether the waiver of the lender's rights resulting from the violation of the covenant with the retention of the periodic covenant tests represents, in substance, a grace period. If viewed as a grace period, the borrower would classify the debt as current (see paragraph [470-10-45-11](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-45-11)) unless it is probable that the borrower can cure the violation (comply with the covenant) within the grace period. Specifically, the balance sheet classification of an obligation is considered in the following situations:

1.  a
    
    The debt covenants are applicable only after the balance sheet date, and it is probable that the borrower will fail to meet the covenant requirement at the compliance date three months after the balance sheet date.
    
2.  b
    
    The borrower meets the current covenant requirement at the balance sheet date, and it is probable that the borrower will fail to meet the same covenant requirement at the compliance date in three months.
    
3.  c
    
    The borrower meets the current covenant requirement, and it is probable that the borrower will fail to meet a more restrictive covenant requirement applicable at the compliance date in three months.
    
4.  d
    
    The borrower has met the covenant requirement in the prior quarter but before the balance sheet date negotiates a modification of the loan agreement that eliminates the covenant requirement at the balance sheet date or modifies the requirement so that the borrower will comply. Absent the modification, the borrower would have been in violation of the covenant at the balance sheet date. The same or a more restrictive covenant must be met at the compliance date in three months, and it is probable that the borrower will fail to meet that requirement at that subsequent date.
    
5.  e
    
    The borrower is in violation of the current covenant requirement at the balance sheet date and, after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued (as discussed in Section 855-10-25), obtains a waiver. The same or a more restrictive covenant must be met at the compliance date in three months, and it is probable that the borrower will fail to meet that requirement at that subsequent date.

This Example illustrates the guidance for the appropriate classification by the issuer of debt if all of the following conditions exist:

1.  a
    
    The debt has a long-term maturity (for example, 30 to 40 years).
    
2.  b
    
    The debt holder may redeem or put the bond on short notice (7 to 30 days).
    
3.  c
    
    The issuer has a remarketing agreement that states that the agent will make its best effort to remarket the bond when redeemed.
    
4.  d
    
    The debt is secured by a short-term letter of credit that provides protection to the debt holder in the event that the redeemed debt cannot be remarketed. (Amounts drawn against the letter of credit are payable back to the issuer of the letter of credit by the issuer of the redeemable debt instrument on the same day that the drawdown occurs.)

Debt agreements that allow a debt holder to redeem (or put) a debt instrument on demand (or within one year) should be classified as short-term liabilities despite the existence of a best-efforts remarketing agreement. That is, unless the issuer of the redeemable debt instrument has the ability and intent to refinance the debt on a long-term basis as provided for in paragraph [470-10-45-14](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-45-14), the debt should be classified as a current liability.

Entity D has outstanding two long-term loans, one convertible debt, and one issue of preferred stock with mandatory redemption requirements. The first loan is a $100 million sinking fund debenture with annual sinking fund payments of $10 million in 19X2, 19X3, and 19X4, $15 million in 19X5 and 19X6, and $20 million in 19X7 and 19X8. The second loan is a $50 million note due in 19X5. The convertible debt has a principal amount of $70 million that is not convertible before maturity in 19X9. This convertible debt requires a 2 percent annual cumulative sinking fund payment of $1.4 million until settled. The $30 million issue of preferred stock requires a 5 percent annual cumulative sinking fund payment of $1.5 million until retired.

The proceeds of borrowings under the agreement are clearly available for the liquidation of the 9 percent notes payable and the long-term debt maturing in February 19X6. Both obligations, therefore, would be classified as other than current liabilities.

[470-10-55-15 through 55-16](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-55-15)

-   Note A
    
-   The Entity has entered into a financing agreement with a commercial bank that permits the Entity to borrow at any time through 19X7 up to $8,000,000 at the bank's prime rate of interest. The Entity must pay an annual commitment fee of 1/2 of 1 percent of the unused portion of the commitment. Borrowings under the financing agreement mature three years after the date of the loan. Among other things, the agreement prohibits the acquisition of treasury stock without prior approval by the bank, requires maintenance of working capital of $10,000,000 exclusive of borrowings under the agreement, and limits the annual rental under lease agreements to $1,000,000. In February 19X6, the Entity borrowed $5,000,000 at 8 percent and liquidated the 6 percent long-term debt, and it intends to borrow additional funds available under the agreement to refinance the 9 percent notes payable maturing in July 19X6.

The requirement of paragraph [470-10-45-14(b)(1)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-45-14) is met because compliance with the provisions of the agreement is objectively determinable or measurable. Because of the laws prohibiting the transfer of funds, however, the proceeds from borrowings under the agreement are not available for liquidation of the debt maturing in February and July 19X6. Accordingly, both the 6 percent debt maturing in February 19X6 and the 9 percent notes payable maturing in July 19X6 would be classified as current liabilities.

In this Case, the Entity issues $8,000,000 of 10-year debentures to the public in January 19X6. The Entity intends to use the proceeds to liquidate the $5,000,000 debt maturing February 19X6 and the $3,000,000 of 9 percent notes payable maturing July 19X6. In addition, assume the debt maturing February 19X6 is paid before the issuance of the balance sheet, and the remaining proceeds from the sale of debentures are invested in a U.S. Treasury note maturing the same day as the 9 percent notes payable.

Because the Entity refinanced the long-term debt maturing in February 19X6 in a manner that meets the conditions set forth in paragraph [470-10-45-14](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-45-14), that obligation would be excluded from current liabilities. In addition, the 9 percent notes payable maturing in July 19X6 would also be excluded because the Entity has obtained funds expressly intended to be used to liquidate those notes and not intended to be used in current operations. In balance sheets after the date of sale of the debentures and before the maturity date of the notes payable, the Entity would exclude the notes payable from current liabilities if the U.S. Treasury note is excluded from current assets (see paragraph [210-10-45-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/210/10/#210-10-45-4)).

If, instead of issuing the 10-year debentures, the Entity had issued $8,000,000 of equity securities and all other facts in this Case remained unchanged, both the 6 percent debt due February 19X6 and the 9 percent notes payable due July 19X6 would be classified as liabilities other than current liabilities, such as Indebtedness Due in 19X6 Refinanced in January 19X6.

In December 19X5 the Entity negotiates a revolving credit agreement providing for unrestricted borrowings up to $10,000,000. Borrowings will bear interest at 1 percent over the prevailing prime rate of the bank with which the agreement is arranged but in any event not less than 8 percent, will have stated maturities of 90 days, and will be continuously renewable for 90-day periods at the Entity's option for 3 years provided there is compliance with the terms of the agreement. Provisions of the agreement are similar to those cited in paragraph [470-10-55-16(d)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-55-16). Further, the Entity intends to renew obligations incurred under the agreement for a period extending beyond one year from the balance sheet date. There are no outstanding borrowings under the agreement at December 31, 19X5.

In this instance, the long-term debt maturing in February 19X6 and the 9 percent notes payable maturing in July 19X6 would be excluded from current liabilities because the Entity consummated a financing agreement meeting the conditions set forth in paragraph [470-10-45-14(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-45-14) before the issuance of the balance sheet.

Assume that the agreement cited in Case D included an additional provision limiting the amount to be borrowed by the Entity to the amount of its inventory, which is pledged as collateral and is expected to range between a high of $8,000,000 during the second quarter of 19X6 and a low of $4,000,000 during the fourth quarter of 19X6.

The terms of the agreement comply with the conditions required by this Subtopic; however, because the minimum amount expected to be available from February to December 19X6 is $4,000,000, only that amount of short-term obligations can be excluded from current liabilities (see paragraphs

[470-10-45-16 through 45-19](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-45-16)

). Whether the obligation to be excluded is a portion of the currently maturing long-term debt or some portions of both it and the 9 percent notes payable depends on the intended timing of the borrowing.

If the Entity intended to refinance only the 9 percent notes payable due July 19X6 and the amount of its inventory is expected to reach a low of approximately $2,000,000 during the second quarter of 19X6 but be at least $3,000,000 in July 19X6 and thereafter during 19X6, the $3,000,000 9 percent notes payable would be excluded from current liabilities at December 31, 19X5 (see paragraphs

In lieu of the facts given in paragraph [470-10-55-15(c) through (d)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-55-15), assume that during 19X5 the Entity entered into a contract to have a warehouse built. The warehouse is expected to be financed by issuance of the Entity's commercial paper. In addition, the Entity negotiated a standby agreement with a commercial bank that provides for maximum borrowings equal to the expected cost of the warehouse, which will be pledged as collateral. The agreement also requires that the proceeds from the sale of commercial paper be used to pay construction costs. Borrowings may be made under the agreement only if the Entity is unable to issue new commercial paper. The proceeds of borrowings must be used to retire outstanding commercial paper and to liquidate additional liabilities incurred in the construction of the warehouse. At December 31, 19X5, the Entity has $7,000,000 of commercial paper outstanding and $1,000,000 of unpaid construction costs resulting from a progress billing through December 31.

Because the commercial paper will be refinanced on a long-term basis, either by uninterrupted renewal or, failing that, by a borrowing under the agreement, the commercial paper would be excluded from current liabilities. The $1,000,000 liability for the unpaid progress billing results from the construction of a noncurrent asset and will be refinanced on the same basis as the commercial paper and, therefore, it would also be excluded from current liabilities (see paragraph [470-10-45-13](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/10/#470-10-45-13)).

The following are two methods of presenting liabilities in Entity A's balance sheet at December 31, 19X5, assuming the Entity intends to refinance the 6 percent debt maturing in February 19X6 and the 9 percent notes payable maturing in July 19X6 but has not met the conditions required by this Subtopic to exclude those obligations from current liabilities.

This Example has the following assumptions:

1.  a
    
    An Entity has issued $3,000,000 of short-term commercial paper during the year to finance construction of a plant.
    
2.  b
    
    At June 30, 1976, the Entity's fiscal year end, the Entity intends to refinance the commercial paper by issuing long-term debt. However, because the Entity temporarily has excess cash, in July 1976 it liquidates $1,000,000 of the commercial paper as the paper matures.
    
3.  c
    
    In August 1976, the Entity completes a $6,000,000 long-term debt offering.
    
4.  d
    
    Later during the month of August, it issues its June 30, 1976, financial statements.
    
5.  e
    
    The proceeds of the long-term debt offering are to be used to do all of the following:
    
    1.  1
        
        Replenish $1,000,000 in working capital
        
    2.  2
        
        Pay $2,000,000 of commercial paper as it matures in September 1976
        
    3.  3
        
        Pay $3,000,000 of construction costs expected to be incurred later that year to complete the plant.

The $1,000,000 of commercial paper liquidated in July would be classified as a current liability in the Entity's balance sheet at June 30, 1976. The $2,000,000 of commercial paper liquidated in September 1976 but refinanced by the long-term debt offering in August 1976 would be excluded from current liabilities in balance sheets at the end of June 1976, July 1976, and August 1976. It should be noted that the existence of a financing agreement at the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued (as discussed in Section 855-10-25) rather than a completed financing at that date would not change these classifications.

The following is the text of Regulation S-X Rule 3-10, Financial Statements of Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered (17 CFR 210.3-10).

-   (a) If an issuer or guarantor of a guaranteed security that is registered or being registered is required to file financial statements required by Regulation S-X with respect to the guarantee or guaranteed security, such financial statements may be omitted if the issuer or guarantor is a consolidated subsidiary of the parent company, the parent company's consolidated financial statements have been filed, and the conditions in paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section have been met:
    
    -   (1) The guaranteed security is debt or debt-like; and
        
        -   (i) The parent company issues the security or co-issues the security, jointly and severally, with one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries; or
            
        -   (ii) A consolidated subsidiary issues the security or co-issues the security with one or more other consolidated subsidiaries of the parent company, and the security is guaranteed fully and unconditionally by the parent company; and
            
    -   (2) The parent company provides the disclosures specified in §210.13-01.
        
-   (b) For the purposes of this section and §210.13-01:
    
    -   (1) The “parent company” is the entity that:
        
        -   (i) Is an issuer or guarantor of the guaranteed security;
            
        -   (ii) Is, or as a result of the subject Securities Act registration statement will be, an Exchange Act reporting company; and
            
        -   (iii) Consolidates each subsidiary issuer and/or subsidiary guarantor of the guaranteed security in its consolidated financial statements.
            
    -   (2) A security is “debt or debt-like” if it has the following characteristics:
        
        -   (i) The issuer has a contractual obligation to pay a fixed sum at a fixed time; and
            
        -   (ii) Where the obligation to make such payments is cumulative, a set amount of interest must be paid.
            
    -   _Note 1 to paragraph (b)(2)._ Neither the form of the security nor its title will determine whether a security is debt or debt-like. Instead, the substance of the obligation created by the security will be determinative.
        
    -   _Note 2 to paragraph (b)(2)._ The phrase “set amount of interest” is not intended to mean “fixed amount of interest.” Floating and adjustable rate securities, as well as indexed securities, may meet the criteria specified in paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of this section as long as the payment obligation is set in the debt instrument and can be determined from objective indices or other factors that are outside the discretion of the obligor.
        
    -   (3) A guarantee is “full and unconditional,” if, when an issuer of a guaranteed security has failed to make a scheduled payment, the guarantor is obligated to make the scheduled payment immediately and, if it does not, any holder of the guaranteed security may immediately bring suit directly against the guarantor for payment of all amounts due and payable.

The following is the text of Regulation S-X Rule 13-01, Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered (17 CFR 210.13-01).

-   -   (a) For each guaranteed security subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and for each guaranteed security the offer and sale of which is being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, for which the registrant is the parent company (as that term is defined in §210.3-10(b)(1)) of one or more subsidiaries that issue or guarantee the guaranteed security, provide the following disclosures to the extent material:
        
        -   (1) A description of the issuers and guarantors of the guaranteed security;
            
        -   (2) A description of the terms and conditions of the guarantees, and how payments to holders of the guaranteed security may be affected by the composition of and relationships among the issuers, guarantors, and subsidiaries of the parent company that are not issuers or guarantors of the guaranteed security;
            
        -   (3) A description of other factors that may affect payments to holders of the guaranteed security, such as contractual or statutory restrictions on dividends, guarantee enforceability, or the rights of a noncontrolling interest holder;
            
        -   (4) Summarized financial information as specified in §210.1-02(bb)(1) of each issuer and guarantor of the guaranteed security as follows, with an accompanying note that briefly describes the basis of presentation:
            
            -   (i) The summarized financial information of each such issuer and guarantor consolidated in the parent company's consolidated financial statements may be presented on a combined basis with the summarized financial information of the parent company;
                
            -   (ii) Intercompany balances and transactions between issuers and guarantors whose summarized financial information is presented on a combined basis shall be eliminated;
                
            -   (iii) The summarized financial information shall exclude subsidiaries that are not issuers or guarantors. An issuer's or guarantor's investment in a subsidiary that is not an issuer or guarantor shall not be presented. An issuer's or guarantor's amounts due from, amounts due to, and transactions with any of the following shall be presented in separate line items:
                
                -   (A) Subsidiaries that are not issuers or guarantors; and
                    
                -   (B) Related parties;
                    
            -   (iv) If the information provided in response to the requirements of this section (e.g., factors that may affect payments to holders of the guaranteed security) is applicable to one or more, but not all, issuers and/or guarantors, separately disclose the summarized financial information applicable to those issuers and/or guarantors. In limited circumstances (i.e., where the separate financial information applicable to those issuers and/or guarantors can be easily explained and understood), narrative disclosure may be provided in lieu of the separate summarized financial information otherwise required by this paragraph (a)(4)(iv);
                
            -   (v) Disclose this summarized financial information as of and for the most recently ended fiscal year and year-to-date interim period included in the parent company's consolidated financial statements; and
                
            -   (vi) Notwithstanding that a parent company may omit this summarized financial information if not material, it may also be omitted if one of the following in paragraphs (a)(4)(vi)(A) through (D) of this section is true and disclosed. However, paragraph (a)(4)(vi)(A) does not apply if separate disclosure of summarized financial information applicable to one or more, but not all, issuers and/or guarantors is required by paragraph (a)(4)(iv) of this section. For the purposes of this section, a finance subsidiary is a subsidiary that has no assets or operations other than those related to the issuance, administration and repayment of the security being registered and any other securities guaranteed by its parent company:
                
                -   (A) The assets, liabilities and results of operations of the combined issuers and guarantors of the guaranteed security are not materially different than corresponding amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements of the parent company;
                    
                -   (B) The combined issuers and guarantors, excluding investments in subsidiaries that are not issuers or guarantors, have no material assets, liabilities or results of operations;
                    
                -   (C) The issuer is a finance subsidiary of the parent company, the parent company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the security, and no other subsidiary of the parent company guarantees the security; or
                    
                -   (D) The issuer is a finance subsidiary that co-issued the security, jointly and severally, with the parent company, and no other subsidiary of the parent company guarantees the security;
                    
        -   (5) In a Securities Act registration statement filed in connection with the offer and sale of the guaranteed security, if the parent company acquired a significant business after the date of the parent company's most recent balance sheet included in its consolidated financial statements and the acquired business, one or more of the acquired business's subsidiaries, or the acquired business and one or more of its subsidiaries are issuers or guarantors of the guaranteed securities, disclose pre-acquisition summarized financial information as specified in paragraph (a)(4) of this section for each such issuer or guarantor. The acquired business is significant if it meets any of the conditions specified in the definition of significant subsidiary in §210.1-02(w), substituting 20 percent for 10 percent each place it appears therein, based on a comparison of the most recent annual financial statements of the acquired business and the parent company's most recent annual consolidated financial statements filed at or prior to the date of acquisition. The determination of whether a business has been acquired shall be made in accordance with the guidance set forth in §210.11-01(d). Acquisitions of a group of related businesses shall be treated as if they are a single business acquisition for purposes of this comparison. The determination of whether a group of businesses are related shall be made in a manner consistent with §210.3-05(a)(3);
            
        -   (6) Any financial and narrative information about each guarantor if the information would be material for investors to evaluate the sufficiency of the guarantee; and
            
        -   (7) Sufficient information so as to make the financial and non-financial information presented not misleading.
            
    -   (b) The parent company may elect to provide the disclosures required by this section in a footnote to its consolidated financial statements or alternatively, in management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations described in §229.303 (Item 303 of Regulation S-K) of this chapter. If not otherwise included in the consolidated financial statements or in management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the parent company must include the disclosures in its prospectus immediately following “Risk Factors,” if any, or otherwise, immediately following pricing information described in §229.105 (Item 105 of Regulation S-K) of this chapter.

                -   (B) Any of the registrant's subsidiaries not included in the summarized financial information of the affiliate(s); and
                    
                -   (C) Related parties;
                    
            -   (iv) If the information provided in response to the requirements of this section (e.g., the trading market for the affiliate's security pledged as collateral or a statement that there is no market) is applicable to one or more, but not all, affiliates, separately disclose the summarized financial information applicable to those affiliates.

        -   (5) In a Securities Act registration statement filed in connection with the offer and sale of the collateralized security, if the registrant acquired a significant business after the date of the registrant's most recent balance sheet included in its consolidated financial statements and the acquired business, one or more of the acquired business's subsidiaries, or the acquired business and one or more of its subsidiaries are affiliates whose securities collateralize the registrant's collateralized security, disclose pre-acquisition summarized financial information as specified in paragraph (a)(4) of this section for each such affiliate.

    -   2\. Interest rates and terms are in line with the company's normal borrowing arrangements.
        
    -   3\. Amounts are equal to the expected full mortgage amount of all projects.
        
    -   4\. The company may draw down funds at its option up to the maximum amount of the agreement.
        
    -   5\. The company uses short-term interim construction financing (commercial paper, bank loans, etc.) against the revolving cover loan. Such indebtedness is rolled over or drawn down on the revolving cover loan at the company's option. The company typically has regular bank lines of credit, but these generally are not legally enforceable.
        
-   Question: Under FASB ASC Subtopic 470-10, Debt—Overall, will the classification of loans such as described above as long-term be acceptable?
    
-   Interpretive Response: Where such conditions exist providing for a firm commitment throughout the construction program as well as a firm commitment for permanent mortgage financing, and where there are no contingencies other than the completion of construction, the guideline criteria are met and the borrowing under such a program should be classified as long-term with appropriate disclosure.

The following is the text of SEC Observer Comment: Classification of Subsidiary's Loan Payable in Consolidated Balance Sheet when Subsidiary's and Parent's Fiscal Years Differ.

-   Issues periodically occur related to classification of a subsidiary's loan payable in a consolidated balance sheet when the subsidiary's and parent's fiscal years differ. For example, assume that a consolidated balance sheet prepared as of February 29, 1988, comprised of the parent company's balance sheet as of that date and the subsidiary's balance sheet as of December 31, 1987. The subsidiary's balance sheet included a material loan payable to a bank due January 31, 1989. The SEC staff would expect the debt in this case to be classified as current because to do otherwise would result in a material misclassification.

## ASC 470-20: Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "ASC 470-20 governs the issuer's accounting for debt with detachable warrants, convertible debt instruments, interest forfeited on conversion, induced conversions, conversions triggered by the issuer's call, and own-share lending arrangements entered into in contemplation of a convertible debt offering. After ASU 2020-06 eliminated the cash conversion and beneficial conversion feature models, the default rule is that convertible debt is accounted for in its entirety as a liability with no proceeds allocated to the conversion feature (470-20-25-12), unless the feature must be bifurcated as a derivative under 815-15 or the debt was issued at a substantial premium (470-20-25-13). Proceeds of debt issued with detachable warrants, by contrast, are allocated between the debt and the warrants based on relative fair values (470-20-25-2).",
  "key_points": [
    "Proceeds from debt sold with detachable stock purchase warrants are allocated between the debt and the warrants based on their relative fair values at issuance, with the warrant portion credited to paid-in capital and the resulting debt discount accounted for under Topic 835 (470-20-25-2; 470-20-30-1); nondetachable warrants requiring surrender of the debt are treated like convertible debt (470-20-25-3).",
    "A convertible debt instrument is accounted for in its entirety as a liability with no proceeds allocated to the conversion feature, unless the feature must be separated as an embedded derivative under Subtopic 815-15 or the instrument was issued at a substantial premium, which is presumed to be paid-in capital (470-20-25-12; 470-20-25-13).",
    "Scope is applied only after considering the fair value option in 825-10 and embedded derivative bifurcation in 815-15; debt with a conversion option that continuously resets to deliver a fixed value of stock is stock-settled debt under Subtopic 480-10 or other Subtopics (470-20-15-2A through 15-2B; 470-20-25-14; 470-20-55-19).",
    "On conversion under the instrument's own terms, the carrying amount (including unamortized premium, discount, and issuance costs) is reduced by any cash or other assets transferred and the remainder is credited to the capital accounts, with no gain or loss recognized (470-20-40-4); forfeited accrued interest is charged to interest expense and credited to capital (470-20-35-11; 470-20-40-11).",
    "When equity is issued to settle debt that became convertible only upon the issuer's exercise of a call option, the transaction is a contractual conversion if the instrument had a substantive conversion feature at issuance and a debt extinguishment if it did not; a feature is substantive only if exercise was at least reasonably possible as of issuance (470-20-40-5 through 40-9).",
    "An induced conversion (changed conversion privileges exercisable for a limited time that still deliver all consideration issuable under the existing conversion privileges) requires the issuer to recognize debt conversion expense equal to the fair value of consideration transferred in excess of that issuable under the existing terms, measured at the date the offer is accepted (470-20-40-13 through 40-17).",
    "A share-lending arrangement on an entity's own shares executed in contemplation of a convertible debt offering is measured at fair value under Topic 820 and recognized as an issuance cost with an offset to APIC; loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted EPS unless default becomes probable, at which point an expense equal to the fair value of unreturned shares net of probable recoveries is recognized (470-20-25-20A; 470-20-35-11A; 470-20-45-2A)."

Unlike convertible debt, debt with detachable warrants (detachable call options) to purchase stock is usually issued with the expectation that the debt will be repaid when it matures. The provisions of the debt agreement are usually more restrictive on the issuer and more protective of the investor than those for convertible debt. The terms of the warrants are influenced by the desire for a successful debt financing. Detachable warrants often trade separately from the debt instrument. Thus, the two elements of the security exist independently and may be treated as separate securities.

From the point of view of the issuer, the sale of a debt security with warrants results in a lower cash interest cost than would otherwise be possible or permits financing not otherwise practicable. The issuer usually cannot force the holders of the warrants to exercise them and purchase the stock. The issuer may, however, be required to issue shares of stock at some future date at a price lower than the market price existing at that time, as is true in the case of the conversion option of convertible debt. Under different conditions the warrants may expire without exercise. The outcome of the warrant feature thus cannot be determined at [time of issuance](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#time-of-issuance "The date when agreement as to terms has been reached and announced, even though the agreement is subject to certain further actions, such as directors' or stockholders' approval."). In either case the debt must generally be paid at maturity or earlier redemption date whether or not the warrants are exercised.

A convertible debt instrument is a complex hybrid instrument bearing an option, the alternative choices of which cannot exist independently of one another. The holder ordinarily does not sell one right and retain the other. Furthermore, the two choices are mutually exclusive; they cannot both be consummated. Thus, the instrument will either be converted or be redeemed. The holder cannot exercise the option to convert unless he forgoes the right to redemption, and vice versa.

A convertible debt instrument may offer advantages to both the issuer and the purchaser. From the point of view of the issuer, convertible debt has a lower interest rate than does nonconvertible debt. Furthermore, the issuer of convertible debt instruments, in planning its long-range financing, may view convertible debt as essentially a means of raising equity capital. Thus, if the [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.") of the underlying common stock increases sufficiently in the future, the issuer can force conversion of the convertible debt into common stock by calling the issue for redemption. Under these market conditions, the issuer can effectively terminate the conversion option and eliminate the debt. If the fair value of the stock does not increase sufficiently to result in conversion of the debt, the issuer will have received the benefit of the cash proceeds to the scheduled maturity dates at a relatively low cash interest cost.

On the other hand, the purchaser obtains an option to receive either the face or redemption amount of the instrument or the number of common shares into which the instrument is convertible. If the fair value of the underlying common stock increases above the conversion price, the purchaser (either through conversion or through holding the convertible debt containing the conversion option) benefits through appreciation. The purchaser may at that time require the issuance of the common stock at a price lower than the fair value. However, should the fair value of the underlying common stock not increase in the future, the purchaser has the protection of a debt security. Thus, in the absence of default by the issuer, the purchaser would receive the principal and interest if the conversion option is not exercised.

Entities may issue convertible debt instruments that may be convertible into common stock at the lower of a conversion rate fixed at [time of issuance](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#time-of-issuance "The date when agreement as to terms has been reached and announced, even though the agreement is subject to certain further actions, such as directors' or stockholders' approval.") and a fixed discount to the market price of the common stock at the date of conversion.

When a convertible debt instrument is converted to equity securities, sometimes the terms of conversion provide that any accrued but unpaid interest at the date of conversion is forfeited by the former debt holder. This occurs either because the conversion date falls between interest payment dates or because there are no interest payment dates (a zero coupon convertible debt instrument).

Some convertible debt instruments include provisions allowing the debtor to alter terms of the debt to the benefit of debt holders. In some circumstances, conversion privileges for a convertible debt instrument are changed or additional consideration is paid to debt holders for the purpose of inducing prompt conversion of the debt to equity securities (sometimes referred to as a convertible debt sweetener). Such provisions may be general in nature, permitting the debtor or trustee to take actions to protect the interests of the debt holders, or they may be specific, for example, specifically authorizing the debtor to temporarily reduce the conversion price for the purpose of inducing conversion.

An entity for which the cost to an investment banking firm (investment bank) or third-party investors (investors) of borrowing its shares is prohibitive (for example, due to a lack of liquidity or extensive open short positions in the shares) may enter into share-lending arrangements that are executed separately but in connection with a convertible debt offering. Although the convertible debt instrument is ultimately sold to investors, the share-lending arrangement is an agreement between the entity (share lender) and an investment bank (share borrower) and is intended to facilitate the ability of the investors to hedge the conversion option in the entity's convertible debt.

The terms of a share-lending arrangement require the entity to issue shares (loaned shares) to the investment bank in exchange for a nominal loan processing fee. Although the loaned shares are legally outstanding, the nominal loan processing fee is typically equal to the par value of the common stock, which is significantly less than the fair value of the loaned shares or the share-lending arrangement. Generally, upon maturity or conversion of the convertible debt, the investment bank is required to return the loaned shares to the entity for no additional consideration.

Other terms of a share-lending arrangement typically require the investment bank to reimburse the entity for any dividends paid on the loaned shares. Typically, the arrangement precludes the investment bank from voting on any matters submitted to a vote of the entity's shareholders to the extent the investment bank is the owner of the shares.

Proceeds from the sale of a debt instrument with stock purchase warrants (detachable call options) shall be allocated to the two elements based on the relative [fair values](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.") of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at [time of issuance](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#time-of-issuance "The date when agreement as to terms has been reached and announced, even though the agreement is subject to certain further actions, such as directors' or stockholders' approval."). The portion of the proceeds so allocated to the warrants shall be accounted for as paid-in capital. The remainder of the proceeds shall be allocated to the debt instrument portion of the transaction. This usually results in a discount (or, occasionally, a reduced premium), which shall be accounted for under Topic 835.

The same accounting treatment applies to issues of debt instruments (issued with detachable warrants) that may be surrendered in settlement of the exercise price of the warrant. However, if stock purchase warrants are not detachable from the debt instrument and the debt instrument must be surrendered to exercise the warrant, the two instruments taken together are substantially equivalent to a convertible debt instrument and the accounting specified in paragraph [470-20-25-12](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-25-12) shall apply.

A debt with an embedded conversion feature shall be accounted for in its entirety as a liability and no portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the convertible debt instrument shall be accounted for as attributable to the conversion feature unless the conversion feature is required to be accounted for separately as an embedded derivative under Subtopic 815-15 or the conversion feature results in a premium that is subject to the guidance in paragraph [470-20-25-13](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-25-13).

If a debt instrument has a conversion option that continuously resets as the underlying stock price increases or decreases so as to provide a fixed value of common stock to the holder at any conversion date, the instrument shall be considered stock-settled debt that is subject to the guidance in Subtopic 480-10 or other Subtopics (such as Subtopic 718-10, 815-15, or 825-10). Example 4 (see paragraph [470-20-55-18](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-55-18)) illustrates application of the guidance in this paragraph.

If it becomes [probable](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#probable "The future event or events are likely to occur.") that the counterparty to a share-lending arrangement will default, the issuer of the share-lending arrangement shall recognize an expense equal to the then fair value of the unreturned shares, net of the fair value of probable recoveries, with an offset to additional paid-in capital. The issuer of the share-lending arrangement shall remeasure the fair value of the unreturned shares each reporting period through earnings until the arrangement consideration payable by the counterparty becomes fixed. Subsequent changes in the amount of the probable recoveries should also be recognized in earnings.

The following guidance addresses accounting for the issuance of equity securities to settle a debt instrument (pursuant to the instrument's original conversion terms) that became convertible upon the issuer's exercise of a call option:

1.  a
    
    [Substantive conversion feature](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#substantive-conversion-feature "A conversion feature that is at least reasonably possible of being exercisable in the future absent the issuer's exercise of a call option."). If the debt instrument contained a substantive conversion feature as of [time of issuance](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#time-of-issuance "The date when agreement as to terms has been reached and announced, even though the agreement is subject to certain further actions, such as directors' or stockholders' approval."), the issuance of equity securities shall be accounted for as a contractual conversion. That is, no gain or loss shall be recognized related to the equity securities issued to settle the instrument.
    
2.  b
    
    No substantive conversion feature. If the debt instrument did not contain a substantive conversion feature as of time of issuance, the issuance of equity securities shall be accounted for as a debt extinguishment. That is, the [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.") of the equity securities issued should be considered a component of the reacquisition price of the debt.

The assessment of whether the conversion feature is substantive may be performed after time of issuance but shall be based only on assumptions, considerations, and marketplace information available as of time of issuance.

By definition, a substantive conversion feature is at least [reasonably possible](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#reasonably-possible "The chance of the future event or events occurring is more than remote but less than likely.") of being exercised in the future. If the conversion price of an instrument at issuance is extremely high so that conversion of the instrument is not deemed at least reasonably possible as of time of issuance, then the conversion feature would not be considered substantive.

For purposes of determining whether a conversion feature is reasonably possible of being exercised, the assessment of the holder's intent is not necessary. Therefore, even if such an instrument included a conversion feature that provided for conversion due solely to the passage of time (for example, the instrument will become convertible at a date before its maturity date), it would be inappropriate to conclude that the conversion feature is substantive. Also, an instrument that became convertible only upon the issuer's exercise of its call option does not possess a substantive conversion feature.

Methods that may be helpful in assessing whether a conversion feature is substantive include the following:

1.  a
    
    The fair value of the conversion feature relative to the fair value of the debt instrument. Comparing the fair value of a conversion feature to the fair value of the debt instrument (that is, the complete instrument as issued) may provide evidence that the conversion feature is substantive.
    
2.  b
    
    The effective annual interest rate per the terms of the debt instrument relative to the estimated effective annual rate of a nonconvertible debt instrument with an equivalent expected term and credit risk. Comparing the effective annual interest rate of the debt instrument to the effective annual rate the issuer estimates it could obtain on a similar nonconvertible instrument may provide evidence that a conversion feature is substantive.
    
3.  c
    
    The fair value of the debt instrument relative to an instrument that is identical except for which the conversion option is not contingent. Comparing the fair value of the debt instrument to the fair value of an identical instrument for which conversion is not contingent isolates the effect of the contingencies and may provide evidence about the substance of a conversion feature. If the fair value of the debt instrument is similar to the fair value of an identical convertible debt instrument for which conversion is not contingent, then it may indicate that the conversion feature is substantive. However, this approach may not be appropriate unless it is clear that the conversion feature, not considering the contingencies, is substantive.
    
4.  d
    
    Qualitative evaluation of the conversion provisions. The nature of the conditions under which the instrument may become convertible may provide evidence that the conversion feature is substantive. For example, if an instrument may become convertible upon the occurrence of a specified contingent event, the likelihood that the contingent event will occur before the instrument's maturity date may indicate that the conversion feature is substantive. However, this approach may not be appropriate unless it is clear that the conversion feature, not considering the contingencies, is substantive.

If the terms of conversion of a convertible debt instrument provide that any accrued but unpaid interest at the date of conversion is forfeited by the former debt holder, accrued interest from the last interest payment date, if applicable, to the date of conversion, net of related income tax effects, if any, shall be charged to interest expense and credited to capital as part of the cost of securities issued. Thus, the accrued interest is accounted for in the same way as the principal amount of the debt converted and any unamortized premium, discount, or issuance costs; the net carrying amount of the debt, including any unamortized premium, discount, or issuance costs and the related accrual for interest to the date of conversion, net of any related income tax effects, is a credit to the entity's capital.

The guidance in paragraph [470-20-40-16](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-40-16) applies to conversions of convertible debt to equity securities pursuant to terms that reflect changes made by the debtor to the conversion privileges provided in the terms of the debt at issuance (including changes that involve the payment of consideration) for the purpose of inducing conversion. That guidance applies only to conversions that both:

1.  a
    
    Occur pursuant to changed conversion privileges that are exercisable only for a limited period of time (inducements offered without a restrictive time limit on their exercisability are not, by their structure, changes made to induce prompt conversion)
    
2.  b
    
    Include the issuance of all of the equity securities issuable pursuant to conversion privileges included in the terms of the debt at issuance for each debt instrument that is converted, regardless of the party that initiates the offer or whether the offer relates to all debt holders.

    The conversion includes the issuance of all of the consideration (in form and amount) issuable pursuant to conversion privileges provided in the terms of the existing debt instrument for each debt instrument that is converted, regardless of the party that initiates the offer or whether the offer relates to all debt holders. See paragraph [470-20-40-13A](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-40-13A) for additional guidance applicable to debt instruments whose conversion privileges permit the entity to issue cash (or other assets) or a combination of shares and cash (or other assets) upon conversion. The examples in paragraphs
    
    [470-20-55-9A through 55-9J](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-55-9A)
    
    illustrate the application of this guidance.
    
3.  c
    
    The existing debt instrument, regardless of whether it is currently convertible, contained a substantive conversion feature as of both the time of issuance and the date the inducement offer is accepted by the convertible debt holder. See paragraphs
    
    [470-20-40-6 through 40-10](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-40-6)
    
    for additional guidance on determining whether a conversion feature is substantive.

[470-20-65-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-65-4)In applying the guidance in paragraph [470-20-40-13(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-40-13), an entity shall compare the amount of cash (or other assets) and number of shares issuable under the conversion privileges provided in the terms of the existing instrument with the amount of cash (or other assets) and number of shares issuable under the inducement offer. An entity shall consider the following:

1.  a
    
    For purposes of comparing the amount of cash (or other assets) and number of shares issuable, if the settlement terms under either the existing conversion privileges or the inducement offer are based on a future share price or average of future share prices (such as a volume-weighted average price), then an entity shall use the fair value of the shares as of the date the inducement offer is accepted. For example, the incorporation, elimination, or modification of a volume-weighted average price formula that is based on future share prices does not affect the determination of the amount of cash or number of shares issuable for the induced conversion assessment because the fair value of the shares as of the date the inducement offer is accepted would be used instead of the future volume-weighted average price. A future share price refers to a share price measured after the inducement offer is accepted.
    
2.  b
    
    Changes that result in the amount of cash (or other assets) and number of shares being indexed to something other than the future price of the issuer’s shares (for example, the fair value of a commodity) shall be considered a change in the form of settlement.
    
3.  c
    
    If within the one-year period preceding the date the inducement offer is accepted by the convertible debt holder the existing debt has been exchanged or modified (without being deemed to be substantially different in accordance with the guidance in Subtopic 470-50), then the conversion privileges provided in the debt terms that existed one year before the date the offer is accepted by the convertible debt holder shall be used in place of the conversion privileges provided in the terms of the existing debt instrument.

A conversion includes an exchange of a convertible debt instrument for equity securities or a combination of equity securities and other consideration, whether or not the exchange involves legal exercise of the contractual conversion privileges included in terms of the debt. The preceding paragraph also includes conversions pursuant to amended or altered conversion privileges on such instruments, even though they are literally provided in the terms of the debt at issuance.

If a convertible debt instrument is converted to equity securities of the debtor pursuant to an inducement offer (see paragraph [470-20-40-13](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-40-13)), the debtor shall recognize an expense equal to the fair value of all securities and other consideration transferred in the transaction in excess of the fair value of securities issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms. The fair value of the securities or other consideration shall be measured as of the date the inducement offer is accepted by the convertible debt holder. That date normally will be the date the debt holder converts the convertible debt into equity securities or enters into a binding agreement to do so. Until the debt holder accepts the offer, no exchange has been made between the debtor and the debt holder.

The guidance in the preceding paragraph does not require recognition of gain or loss with respect to the shares issuable pursuant to the original conversion privileges of the convertible debt when additional securities or assets are transferred to a debt holder to induce prompt conversion of the debt to equity securities. In a conversion pursuant to original conversion terms, debt is extinguished in exchange for equity pursuant to a preexisting contract that is already recognized in the financial statements, and no gain or loss is recognized upon conversion.

[470-20-65-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-65-4)Entity B is required to assess whether the criteria in paragraph [470-20-40-13](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-40-13) are met, including whether the conversion feature is substantive (in accordance with the guidance in paragraphs

If Entity B determines that the criteria in paragraph [470-20-40-13](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-40-13) are not met, it should not account for the settlement transaction as an induced conversion.

The same accounting would apply if, instead of reducing the conversion price, Entity B issued shares pursuant to a tender offer of 50 shares of its common stock for each $1,000 bond surrendered to the entity before July 1, 19X4.

[470-20-65-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-65-4)On January 1, 2X24, Entity A issues a $1,000 face amount 10 percent convertible bond maturing December 31, 2X33. The bond has a conversion price of $25 per share. The terms of the existing instrument require that, upon conversion, the issuer settle the principal in cash and the conversion premium in any combination of cash and shares. Under the existing conversion privileges, the total amount of cash (or the total value of the cash and shares) required to be issued upon conversion equals the product of 40 shares per $1,000 bond and a volume-weighted average price of Entity A’s common stock. The volume-weighted average price is calculated over a period of 40 days beginning the day after the holder notifies the issuer that it will convert the debt instrument. On May 15, 2X27, to induce convertible bondholders to convert their bonds promptly, Entity A offers the following consideration in exchange for each $1,000 bond that is converted within 60 days (for purposes of this Example, assume the offer meets the other criteria in paragraph [470-20-40-13](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-40-13) and that the offer is accepted by bondholders on June 1, 2X27):

1.  a
    
    A cash payment equal to 40 shares multiplied by the volume-weighted average price of Entity A’s common stock calculated over a period of 15 days (beginning the day after the holder accepts the inducement offer)
    
2.  b
    
    Five warrants (offered as a sweetener). Each warrant enables the holder to acquire a share of Entity A’s common stock at a fixed exercise price of $40. The warrants are exercisable upon issuance and expire five years after issuance.

[470-20-65-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-65-4)The offer of warrants to induce conversion does not affect the assessment of whether the inducement offer includes the form and amount of consideration issuable under the existing conversion privileges because the existing conversion privileges did not provide for the issuance of warrants (however, the offer of warrants as a sweetener affects the measurement of the debt conversion expense recognized in accordance with paragraph [470-20-40-16](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-40-16)). Similarly, the fact that the inducement offer changes the number of days over which the volume-weighted average price of Entity A’s shares is measured does not affect whether the inducement offer includes the amount of consideration issuable under the existing conversion privileges because Entity A would use the fair value of its common stock as of the offer acceptance date to calculate the amount of cash payable under both the conversion privileges in the existing instrument and the inducement offer in accordance with paragraph [470-20-40-13A(a)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-40-13A).

Transition date:(P) December 16, 2025; (N) December 16, 2025Transition guidance:

[470-20-65-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-65-4)In contrast to Case C and Case D, the inducement offer does not include the issuance of all the consideration (in form and amount) issuable pursuant to the conversion privileges included in the terms of the existing instrument. The terms of the existing instrument require settlement of the principal amount in cash, but Entity A did not offer cash consideration in the inducement offer. Therefore, Entity A would conclude that the criterion in paragraph [470-20-40-13(b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/20/#470-20-40-13) is not satisfied.

If the conversion price was described as $1 million divided by the market price of the common stock on the date of the conversion, that is, resetting at the date of conversion, the holder is guaranteed to receive $1 million in value upon conversion and, therefore, the debt instrument would be considered stock-settled debt.

An entity issues a contingently convertible instrument on January 1, 2006, with a market price trigger, a $1,000 par amount, and a maturity date of December 31, 2020. The debt instrument is convertible at the option of the holder if the share price of the issuer exceeds a specified amount. The issuer can call the debt at any time between 2009 and the maturity date of the debt. If the issuer calls the debt, the holder has the option to receive cash for the call amount or a fixed number of shares as specified in the terms of the instrument upon issuance, regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. In 2010, the issuer calls the debt before the market price trigger being met and the holder elects to receive a fixed number of shares (as specified in the terms of the instrument).

The following is the text of the SEC Observer Comment: Debt Exchangeable for the Stock of Another Entity.

-   An issue has been discussed involving an enterprise that holds investments in common stock of other enterprises and issues debt securities that permit the holder to acquire a fixed number of shares of such common stock. These types of transactions are commonly affected through the sale of either debt with detachable warrants that can be exchanged for the stock investment or debt without detachable warrants (the debt itself must be exchanged for the stock investment - also referred to as "exchangeable" debt). Those debt issues differ from traditional warrants or convertible instruments because the traditional instruments involve exchanges for the equity securities of the issuer. There have been questions as to whether the exchangeable debt should be treated similar to traditional convertibles as specified in Subtopic 470-20 or whether the transaction requires separate accounting for the exchangeability feature. The SEC staff believes that Subtopic 470-20 does not apply to the accounting for debt that is exchangeable for the stock of another entity and therefore separation of the debt element and exchangeability feature is required

## ASC 470-30: Debt — Participating Mortgage Loans

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "ASC 470-30 governs how a *borrower* accounts for a participating mortgage loan — a mortgage in which the lender is entitled to share in appreciation in the fair value of the mortgaged real estate project, in its results of operations, or both. If the lender participates in fair value appreciation, the borrower recognizes a participation liability at the fair value of the participation feature at loan inception with an offsetting debt discount, remeasures the liability to current fair value each reporting period (adjusting the discount), and amortizes the discount to interest expense using the interest method. Participations in results of operations are charged to interest expense in the period incurred with a credit to the participation liability.",
  "key_points": [
    "A participation liability with a corresponding debit to a debt discount account is recognized when the lender is entitled to participate in appreciation in the market value of the mortgaged real estate project (470-30-25-1).",
    "The participation feature is measured at fair value (per Subtopic 820-10) at inception of the loan (470-30-30-1).",
    "Interest expense has three components: stated interest, amounts for the lender's participation in results of operations, and amortization of the debt discount related to participation in fair value appreciation (470-30-35-2); the discount is amortized by the interest method using the effective interest rate (470-30-35-1).",
    "At the end of each reporting period the participation liability is adjusted to the current fair value of the participation feature, with the offsetting debit or credit to the debt discount account (470-30-35-4A), and the revised discount is amortized prospectively at the effective interest rate (470-30-35-5).",
    "Amounts due for participation in results of operations are charged to interest expense in the corresponding reporting period with a credit to the participation liability (470-30-35-4); stated interest is charged to income as incurred, based on the index/rate as it changes, and is subject to Subtopic 835-20 capitalization rules, with capitalized amounts not adjusted for reversals of appreciation (470-30-35-3).",
    "Early extinguishment produces a gain or loss equal to the difference between the recorded amount of the debt (including unamortized discount and the participation liability) and the amount exchanged, reported as required by 470-50-40-2 (470-30-40-1; 470-30-45-2).",
    "Borrowers must disclose the aggregate amount of participating mortgage obligations at the balance sheet date, separately showing aggregate participation liabilities and related debt discounts, plus the terms of the lender's participations (470-30-50-1)."

Participating mortgage loans and nonparticipating mortgage loans share all of the following characteristics:

1.  a
    
    Debtor-creditor relationships between those who provide initial cash outlays and hold the mortgages, and those who are obligated to make subsequent payments to the mortgage holders
    
2.  b
    
    Real estate collateral
    
3.  c
    
    Periodic fixed-rate or floating-rate interest payments
    
4.  d
    
    Fixed maturity dates for stated principal amounts.

The terms and economics of participating mortgage loan agreements vary by agreement. The terms and economics of one agreement may create a circumstance in which any participation payment is remote. In another agreement, the terms and economics may transfer many of the risks and rewards of property ownership.

    Upon the sale of the project
    
2.  b
    
    At a deemed sale date

The participation terms of a participating mortgage loan agreement usually are negotiated concurrently with the other terms of the underlying mortgage loan. A borrower agrees to participation rights generally because of market conditions, or in exchange for concessions granted by the lender on some other term(s) of the loan, such as a lower interest rate or a higher loan-to-value ratio.

The lender's participation reduces the borrower's potential realization of operating results or gain on the sale of the real estate. However, the participation also may reduce any of the following:

1.  a
    
    The contract interest the borrower is required to pay
    
2.  b
    
    The risk that the borrower will be unable to pay interest at the stated or floating rate in the loan agreement and, consequently, the risk that the borrower will default on the loan and need to sell the property
    
3.  c
    
    The amount of capital the borrower has at risk, because the loan-to-value ratio normally is higher.
    

Further, the obligation to pay the lender a share of the property appreciation does not increase the current exposure of the borrower to loss in its investment, because the participation payments are made only if the fair value of the property appreciates.

Amounts designated in the mortgage agreement as interest shall be charged to income in the period in which the interest is incurred. If the loan's stated interest rate varies based on changes in an independent factor, such as an index or rate (for example, the prime rate, the London Interbank Offered Rate \[LIBOR\], or the U.S. Treasury bill weekly average rate), the calculation of the interest shall be based on the factor (the index or the rate) as it changes over the life of the loan. Interest recognized pursuant to this guidance is subject to the requirements of Subtopic 835-20. Once capitalized, amounts shall not be adjusted for the effects of reversals of appreciation.

## ASC 470-40: Debt — Product Financing Arrangements

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "ASC 470-40 governs product financing arrangements — transactions in which a \"sponsor\" arranges for another entity to buy and hold inventory on its behalf (or controls the disposition of such product) with a related commitment to buy it back at specified prices covering the other entity's financing and holding costs. Because the sponsor is in substance the owner of the product, the arrangement is accounted for as a borrowing rather than a sale: the sponsor records the inventory as an asset and a corresponding liability when the other entity buys the product (470-40-25-1 through 25-2). After ASU 2014-09, sale-and-repurchase legs are handled under Topic 606, leaving this Subtopic focused on purchases made by another entity on the sponsor's behalf.",
  "key_points": [
    "A product financing arrangement within scope is accounted for as a borrowing, not a sale; the sponsor reports the product as an asset and the related obligation as a liability (470-40-25-1).",
    "Scope requires both: (a) the sponsor must purchase the product (or substantially identical product or processed goods containing it) at specified prices not subject to change except for finance and holding cost fluctuations, and (b) payments to the other entity are set to cover substantially all fluctuations in its purchasing and holding costs, including interest (470-40-15-2).",
    "The 'specified price' condition is also met by resale price guarantees, a sponsor purchase option whose economic effect (e.g., a significant penalty) compels exercise, or a put option held by the other entity (470-40-15-2(a)(1) through (3)).",
    "The sponsor records the asset and related liability when the product is purchased by the other entity, not when the sponsor takes physical delivery (470-40-25-2).",
    "Costs in excess of the other entity's purchase cost (excluding processing costs) are financing and holding costs accounted for under the sponsor's own policies as incurred by the other entity; interest costs are separately identified and accounted for under Topic 835 (470-40-25-3 through 25-4).",
    "Excluded from scope: ordinary purchase commitments where the seller retains control, typical contractor-subcontractor relationships, long-term unconditional purchase obligations such as take-or-pay contracts under Subtopic 440-10, unmined/unharvested natural resources and financial instruments, and contracts within Topic 606 including sale-with-repurchase arrangements (470-40-15-3).",
    "Unlike an unconditional purchase obligation, in a product financing arrangement the product already exists and the other entity's purchase cost is known (470-40-05-6)."

The common mistake is applying 470-40 to a sponsor's outright sale-and-repurchase — ASU 2014-09 moved those to Topic 606 (606-10-55-66 through 55-78), leaving 470-40 for purchases made by another entity on the sponsor's behalf.",

[Product financing arrangements](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#product-financing-arrangement "A product financing arrangement is a transaction in which an entity sells and agrees to repurchase inventory with the repurchase price equal to the original sale price plus carrying and financing costs, or other similar transactions.") include agreements in which a sponsor (the entity seeking to finance product pending its future use or resale) does any of the following:

1.  a
    
    Sells the product to another entity (the entity through which the financing flows), and in a related transaction agrees to repurchase the product (or a substantially identical product)
    
2.  b
    
    Arranges for another entity to purchase the product on the sponsor's behalf and, in a related transaction, agrees to purchase the product from the other entity
    
3.  c
    
    Controls the disposition of the product that has been purchased by another entity in accordance with the arrangements described in either (a) or (b).

In all of the foregoing cases, the sponsor agrees to purchase the product, or processed goods of which the product is a component, from the other entity at specified prices over specified periods or, to the extent that it does not do so, guarantees resale prices to third parties (see paragraph [470-40-15-2(a)(1)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/40/#470-40-15-2)). The Implementation Guidance in Section 470-40-55 illustrates the arrangement described in (b) of the preceding paragraph. For an arrangement described in (a), see Topic 606 on [revenue](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#revenue "Inflows or other enhancements of assets of an entity or settlements of its liabilities (or a combination of both) from delivering or producing goods, rendering services, or other activities that constitute the entity's ongoing major or central operations.") from [contracts](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#contract "An agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations.") with [customers](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#customer "A party that has contracted with an entity to obtain goods or services that are an output of the entity's ordinary activities in exchange for consideration.") for guidance on repurchase agreements in paragraphs

Other characteristics that commonly exist in product financing arrangements but that are not necessarily present in all such arrangements include the following:

1.  a
    
    The entity that purchases the product from the sponsor or purchases it directly from a third party on behalf of the sponsor was established expressly for that purpose or is an existing trust, nonbusiness entity, or credit grantor.
    
2.  b
    
    The product covered by the financing arrangement is to be used or sold by the sponsor, although a portion may be sold by the other entity directly to third parties.
    
3.  c
    
    The product covered by the financing arrangement is stored on the sponsor's premises.
    
4.  d
    
    The debt of the entity that purchases the product being financed is guaranteed by the sponsor.

The following are similarities between a sponsor's rights and obligations under a product financing arrangement and a purchaser's rights and obligations under an [unconditional purchase obligation](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/u/#unconditional-purchase-obligation "An obligation to transfer funds in the future for fixed or minimum amounts or quantities of goods or services at fixed or minimum prices (for example, as in take-or-pay contracts or throughput contracts).") (see Topic 440):

1.  a
    
    Both the sponsor and the purchaser obtain probable future economic benefits from the assured source of product.
    
2.  b
    
    Both are obligated to make future cash payments to the other party to the agreement.

Beyond those similarities, however, there is a substantial difference in the related accounting issues. Under a product financing arrangement, the product already exists and the other entity's purchase cost is known.

    The financing arrangement requires the sponsor to purchase the product, a substantially identical product, or processed goods of which the product is a component at specified prices. The specified prices are not subject to change except for fluctuations due to finance and holding costs. This characteristic of predetermined prices also is present if any of the following circumstances exist:
    
    1.  1
        
        The specified prices in the financing arrangement are in the form of resale price guarantees under which the sponsor agrees to make up any difference between the specified price and the resale price for products sold to third parties.
        
    2.  2
        
        The sponsor is not required to purchase the product but has an option to purchase the product, the economic effect of which compels the sponsor to purchase the product; for example, an option arrangement that provides for a significant penalty if the sponsor does not exercise the option to purchase.
        
    3.  3
        
        The sponsor is not required by the agreement to purchase the product but the other entity has an option whereby it can require the sponsor to purchase the product.
        
2.  b
    
    The payments that the other entity will receive on the transaction are established by the financing arrangement, and the amounts to be paid by the sponsor will be adjusted, as necessary, to cover substantially all fluctuations in costs incurred by the other entity in purchasing and holding the product (including interest). This characteristic ordinarily is not present in purchase commitments or contractor-subcontractor relationships.

The guidance in this Subtopic does not apply to the following transactions and activities:

1.  a
    
    Ordinary purchase commitments in which control of the good or service is retained by the seller (for example, a manufacturer or other supplier) until the good or service is transferred to a purchaser.
    
2.  b
    
    Typical contractor-subcontractor relationships in which the contractor is not in substance the owner of product held by the subcontractor and the obligation of the contractor is contingent on substantial performance on the part of the subcontractor.
    
3.  c
    
    Long-term [unconditional purchase obligations](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/u/#unconditional-purchase-obligation "An obligation to transfer funds in the future for fixed or minimum amounts or quantities of goods or services at fixed or minimum prices (for example, as in take-or-pay contracts or throughput contracts).") (for example, [take-or-pay contracts](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#take-or-pay-contract "An agreement between a purchaser and a seller that provides for the purchaser to pay specified amounts periodically in return for products or services. The purchaser must make specified minimum payments even if it does not take delivery of the contracted products or services.")) specified by Subtopic 440-10 on commitments. At the time a take-or-pay contract is entered into, which is an unconditional purchase obligation, either the product does not yet exist (for example, electricity) or the product exists in a form unsuitable to the purchaser (for example, unmined coal); the purchaser has a right to receive future product but is not the substantive owner of existing product.
    
4.  d
    
    Unmined or unharvested natural resources and financial instruments.
    
5.  e
    
    [Contracts](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#contract "An agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations.") within the scope of Topic 606 on [revenue](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#revenue "Inflows or other enhancements of assets of an entity or settlements of its liabilities (or a combination of both) from delivering or producing goods, rendering services, or other activities that constitute the entity's ongoing major or central operations.") from contracts with [customers](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#customer "A party that has contracted with an entity to obtain goods or services that are an output of the entity's ordinary activities in exchange for consideration."). For example, contracts that are subject to a right of return as described in paragraph [606-10-32-10](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/606/10/#606-10-32-10) and paragraphs
    
    [606-10-55-22 through 55-29](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/606/10/#606-10-55-22)
    
    and contracts in which a sponsor (the entity seeking to finance product pending its future use or resale) sells the product to another entity (the entity through which the financing flows) and in a related transaction agrees to repurchase the product (or a substantially identical product). Such contracts are within the scope of Topic 606; see paragraphs
    
    [606-10-55-66 through 55-78](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/606/10/#606-10-55-66)
    
    on repurchase agreements and paragraphs
    
    [606-10-55-36 through 55-40](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/606/10/#606-10-55-36)
    
    on principal versus agent considerations.
    
6.  f
    
    Typical purchases by a subcontractor on behalf of a contractor. In a typical contractor-subcontractor relationship, the purchase of product by a subcontractor on behalf of a contractor ordinarily leaves a significant portion of the subcontractor's obligation unfulfilled. The subcontractor has the risks of ownership of the product until it has met all the terms of a contract. Accordingly, the typical contractor-subcontractor relationship shall not be considered a product financing arrangement.

This Subtopic requires that a [product financing arrangement](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#product-financing-arrangement "A product financing arrangement is a transaction in which an entity sells and agrees to repurchase inventory with the repurchase price equal to the original sale price plus carrying and financing costs, or other similar transactions.") within the scope of this Subtopic be accounted for as a borrowing rather than as a sale. The sponsor is in substance the owner of the product and the sponsor shall, therefore, report the product as an asset and the related obligation as a liability.

If the sponsor is a party to an arrangement whereby another entity purchases a product on the sponsor's behalf and, in a related transaction, the sponsor agrees to purchase the product or processed goods of which the product is a component from the entity, the sponsor shall record the asset and the related liability when the product is purchased by the other entity.

Costs of the product, excluding processing costs, in excess of the other entity's purchase costs represent financing and holding costs. The sponsor shall account for such costs in accordance with the sponsor's accounting policies applicable to financing and holding costs as those costs are incurred by the other entity. For example, if insurance costs ordinarily are accounted for as period costs by the sponsor, similar costs associated with the product covered by financing arrangements shall be expensed by the sponsor as those costs are incurred by the other entity.

The sponsor arranges for the other entity to purchase on its behalf an existing supply of fuel. In a related agreement, the sponsor agrees to purchase the fuel from the other entity over a specified period and at specified prices. The prices established are adequate to cover all financing and holding costs of the other entity. The other entity finances the purchase of fuel using the fuel and the agreement as collateral.

## ASC 470-50: Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "ASC 470-50 governs the debtor's accounting for extinguishments of debt and for modifications or exchanges of debt instruments with the same creditor (excluding troubled debt restructurings under 470-60 and conversions pursuant to conversion privileges under 470-20). Its core rule is the \"10 percent cash flow test\": if the present value of cash flows under the new instrument differs by at least 10% from the PV of the remaining cash flows of the original instrument (discounted at the original instrument's effective rate), the terms are substantially different and the transaction is accounted for as an extinguishment, with the new debt recorded at fair value and gain or loss recognized currently in income. If not substantially different, no gain or loss is recognized and a new effective interest rate is computed from the original carrying amount and revised cash flows.",
  "key_points": [
    "Any difference between the reacquisition price of debt and its net carrying amount is recognized in income in the period of extinguishment as a separate item and is never amortized to future periods (470-50-40-2); if the fair value option was elected, net carrying amount equals fair value at the reacquisition date and instrument-specific credit risk amounts in OCI are included in net income (470-50-40-2A).",
    "An exchange of debt instruments with substantially different terms, or a substantial modification of terms, is accounted for as an extinguishment under 405-20-40-1 (470-50-40-6); otherwise modifications produce gain or loss only if the 405-20-40-1 conditions are met (470-50-40-8).",
    "Instruments are 'substantially different' if the PV of the new instrument's cash flows differs by at least 10 percent from the PV of the original's remaining cash flows; even if under 10 percent, extinguishment accounting applies if the change in fair value of an embedded conversion option is at least 10 percent of the original debt's carrying amount, or if a substantive conversion option is added or eliminated (470-50-40-10).",
    "Mechanics of the 10 percent test: include fees paid to or received from the creditor in the new instrument's cash flows, use the variable rate in effect for floating-rate debt, test both exercise and nonexercise of call/put features and use the assumptions producing the smaller change, discount at the original instrument's effective interest rate, and use terms from a year ago if there was a prior nonsubstantial modification within the year (470-50-40-12).",
    "If substantially different, the new debt is initially recorded at fair value, which determines the gain or loss and the new effective rate (470-50-40-13); if not, a new effective rate is computed from the original carrying amount adjusted for an increase (but not a decrease) in the fair value of an embedded conversion option, with the offset to additional paid-in capital (470-50-40-14 through 40-15).",
    "Creditor fees are included in extinguishment gain or loss if extinguishment accounting applies, but are deferred with existing premium/discount and amortized over the modified debt's term if not; third-party costs (e.g., legal fees) are capitalized and amortized like debt issue costs under extinguishment accounting but expensed as incurred otherwise (470-50-40-17 through 40-18).",
    "Line-of-credit and revolving-debt changes are tested by comparing borrowing capacity (remaining term × maximum available credit): if new capacity is greater than or equal to old, unamortized costs, creditor fees, and third-party costs are deferred over the new arrangement; if less, unamortized deferred costs are written off in proportion to the decrease in borrowing capacity (470-50-40-21); an intermediary acting as agent is looked through, while one acting as principal is treated as a creditor (470-50-40-19 through 40-20)."

If extinguishment is achieved by a direct exchange of new securities, the reacquisition price is the total present value of the new securities.") and the [net carrying amount of the extinguished debt](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#net-carrying-amount-of-debt "Net carrying amount of debt is the amount due at maturity, adjusted for unamortized premium, discount, and cost of issuance.") shall be recognized currently in income of the period of extinguishment as losses or gains and identified as a separate item. Gains and losses shall not be amortized to future periods. If upon extinguishment of debt the parties also exchange unstated (or stated) rights or privileges, the portion of the consideration exchanged allocable to such unstated (or stated) rights or privileges shall be given appropriate accounting recognition. Moreover, extinguishment transactions between related entities may be in essence capital transactions.

From the debtor's perspective, an exchange of debt instruments between or a modification of a debt instrument by a debtor and a creditor in a nontroubled debt situation is deemed to have been accomplished with debt instruments that are substantially different if the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument is at least 10 percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. If the terms of a debt instrument are changed or modified and the cash flow effect on a present value basis is less than 10 percent, the debt instruments are not considered to be substantially different, except in the following two circumstances:

1.  a
    
    A modification or an exchange affects the terms of an embedded conversion option, from which the change in the [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.") of the embedded conversion option (calculated as the difference between the fair value of the embedded conversion option immediately before and after the modification or exchange) is at least 10 percent of the carrying amount of the original debt instrument immediately before the modification or exchange.
    
2.  b
    
    A modification or an exchange of debt instruments adds a substantive conversion option or eliminates a conversion option that was substantive at the date of the modification or exchange. (For purposes of evaluating whether an embedded conversion option was substantive on the date it was added to or eliminated from a debt instrument, see paragraphs

The following guidance shall be used to calculate the present value of the cash flows for purposes of applying the 10 percent cash flow test described in paragraph [470-50-40-10](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/50/#470-50-40-10):

1.  a
    
    The cash flows of the new debt instrument include all cash flows specified by the terms of the new debt instrument plus any amounts paid by the debtor to the creditor less any amounts received by the debtor from the creditor as part of the exchange or modification. For a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option held by a creditor that is a part of or directly related to a modification or an exchange of an existing debt instrument held by that same creditor (see paragraphs
    
    [815-40-35-14 through 35-15](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/40/#815-40-35-14)
    
    and [815-40-35-17(c)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/40/#815-40-35-17)), an entity shall apply the guidance in paragraph [470-50-40-12A](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/50/#470-50-40-12A).
    
2.  b
    
    If the original debt instrument or the new debt instrument has a floating interest rate, then the variable rate in effect at the date of the exchange or modification shall be used to calculate the cash flows of the variable-rate instrument.
    
3.  c
    
    If either the new debt instrument or the original debt instrument is callable or puttable, then separate cash flow analyses shall be performed assuming exercise and nonexercise of the call or put. The cash flow assumptions that generate the smaller change would be the basis for determining whether the 10 percent threshold is met.
    
4.  d
    
    If the debt instruments contain contingent payment terms or unusual interest rate terms, judgment shall be used to determine the appropriate cash flows.
    
5.  e
    
    The discount rate to be used to calculate the present value of the cash flows is the effective interest rate, for accounting purposes, of the original debt instrument.
    
6.  f
    
    If within a year of the current transaction the debt has been exchanged or modified without being deemed to be substantially different, then the debt terms that existed a year ago shall be used to determine whether the current exchange or modification is substantially different.
    
7.  g
    
    The change in the fair value of an embedded conversion option resulting from an exchange of debt instruments or a modification in the terms of an existing debt instrument shall not be included in the 10 percent cash flow test. Rather, a separate test shall be performed by comparing the change in the fair value of the embedded conversion option to the carrying amount of the original debt instrument immediately before the modification, as specified in paragraph [470-50-40-10(a)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/50/#470-50-40-10).

Fees paid by the debtor to the creditor or received by the debtor from the creditor (fees may be received by the debtor from the creditor to cancel a call option held by the debtor or to extend a no-call period) as part of the exchange or modification shall be accounted for as follows:

1.  a
    
    If the exchange or modification is to be accounted for in the same manner as a debt extinguishment and the new debt instrument is initially recorded at fair value, then the fees paid or received shall be associated with the extinguishment of the old debt instrument and included in determining the debt extinguishment gain or loss to be recognized.

Costs incurred with third parties directly related to the exchange or modification (such as legal fees) shall be accounted for as follows:

1.  a
    
    If the exchange or modification is to be accounted for in the same manner as a debt extinguishment and the new debt instrument is initially recorded at fair value, then the costs shall be associated with the new debt instrument and amortized over the term of the new debt instrument using the interest method in a manner similar to debt issue costs.
    
2.  b
    
    If the exchange or modification is not to be accounted for in the same manner as a debt extinguishment, then the costs shall be expensed as incurred.

Modifications to or exchanges of [line-of-credit or revolving-debt arrangements](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/l/#line-of-credit-arrangement "A line-of-credit or revolving-debt arrangement is an agreement that provides the borrower with the option to make multiple borrowings up to a specified maximum amount, to repay portions of previous borrowings, and to then reborrow under the same contract. Line-of-credit and revolving-debt arrangements may include both amounts drawn by the debtor (a debt instrument) and a commitment by the creditor to make additional amounts available to the debtor under predefined terms (a loan commitment).") resulting in either a new line-of-credit or revolving-debt arrangement or resulting in a traditional term-debt arrangement shall be evaluated in the following manner:

1.  a
    
    The debtor shall compare the product of the remaining term and the maximum available credit of the old arrangement (this product is referred to as the borrowing capacity) with the borrowing capacity of the new arrangement.
    
2.  b
    
    If the borrowing capacity of the new arrangement is greater than or equal to the borrowing capacity of the old arrangement, then any unamortized deferred costs, any fees paid to the creditor, and any third-party costs incurred shall be associated with the new arrangement (that is, deferred and amortized over the term of the new arrangement).
    
3.  c
    
    If the borrowing capacity of the new arrangement is less than the borrowing capacity of the old arrangement, then:
    
    1.  1
        
        Any fees paid to the creditor and any third-party costs incurred shall be associated with the new arrangement (that is, deferred and amortized over the term of the new arrangement).
        
    2.  2
        
        Any unamortized deferred costs relating to the old arrangement at the time of the change shall be written off in proportion to the decrease in borrowing capacity of the old arrangement. The remaining unamortized deferred costs relating to the old arrangement shall be deferred and amortized over the term of the new arrangement.

In transactions involving a third-party investment banker acting as agent on behalf of the debtor, the activity of the investment banker is treated as if it were the activity of the debtor. Thus, if the investment banker acquires debt instruments from holders for cash, the debtor has an extinguishment even if the investment banker subsequently transfers a debt instrument with the same or different terms to the same or different investors. If the investment banker acting as agent on behalf of the debtor acquires instruments from holders by exchanging those instruments for new debt, the guidance in this Subtopic shall be applied. If the investment banker acquires debt instruments from holders for cash and contemporaneously issues new debt instruments for cash, an extinguishment has occurred only if the two debt instruments have substantially different terms, as defined in Section 470-50-40.

Transactions between a debtor and a third-party creditor should be analyzed based on the guidance in paragraph [405-20-40-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/405/20/#405-20-40-1) and the guidance in this Subtopic to determine whether gain or loss recognition is appropriate. Application of the guidance in this Subtopic may require determination of whether a third-party intermediary is an agent or a principal and consideration of legal definitions may be helpful in making that determination. Generally, an agent acts for and on behalf of another party. Therefore, a third-party intermediary is an agent of a debtor if it acts on behalf of the debtor. In addition, an evaluation of the facts and circumstances surrounding the involvement of a third-party intermediary should be performed. The following indicators should be considered in that evaluation:

1.  a
    
    If the intermediary's role is restricted to placing or reacquiring debt for the debtor without placing its own funds at risk, that would indicate that the intermediary is an agent. For example, that may be the case if the intermediary's own funds are committed and those funds are not truly at risk because the intermediary is made whole by the debtor (and therefore is indemnified against loss by the debtor). If the intermediary places and reacquires debt for the debtor by committing its funds and is subject to the risk of loss of those funds, that would indicate that the intermediary is acting as principal.
    
2.  b
    
    In an arrangement where an intermediary places notes issued by the debtor, if the placement is done under a best-efforts agreement, that would indicate that the intermediary is acting as agent. Under a best-efforts agreement, an agent agrees to buy only those securities that it is able to sell to others; if the agent is unable to remarket the debt, the issuer is obligated to pay off the debt. The intermediary may be acting as principal if the placement is done on a firmly committed basis, which requires the intermediary to hold any debt that it is unable to sell to others.
    
3.  c
    
    If the debtor directs the intermediary and the intermediary cannot independently initiate an exchange or modification of the debt instrument, that would indicate that the intermediary is an agent. The intermediary may be a principal if it acquires debt from or exchanges debt with another debt holder in the market and is subject to loss as a result of the transaction.
    
4.  d
    
    If the only compensation derived by an intermediary from its arrangement with the debtor is limited to a preestablished fee, that would indicate that the intermediary is an agent. If the intermediary derives gains based on the value of the security issued by the debtor, that would indicate that the intermediary is a principal.

## ASC 470-60: Debt — Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "ASC 470-60 governs how a debtor accounts for a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) — a restructuring in which the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties, grants a concession it would not otherwise consider (470-60-15-5). Settlements by transfer of assets or grant of an equity interest are measured at fair value, with a gain on restructuring equal to the excess of the payable's carrying amount over that fair value (470-60-35-2, 35-4). Pure modifications of terms are accounted for prospectively with no change in carrying amount and a new effective interest rate, unless total future cash payments (including contingent amounts) are less than the carrying amount, in which case the debtor writes down the payable and recognizes a gain (470-60-35-5 through 35-7).",
  "key_points": [
    "A restructuring is a TDR only if the creditor grants a concession for reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties (470-60-15-5); a debtor able to borrow elsewhere at rates near nontroubled market rates generally is not in a TDR (470-60-15-8, 470-60-55-9), and a concession exists if the effective borrowing rate on the restructured debt is lower than on the old debt (470-60-55-10).",
    "Substance over form controls: modifications of timing, amounts designated as interest, or amounts designated as face amount are all treated alike, and each payable is accounted for individually even if negotiated jointly (470-60-10-1, 470-60-15-4).",
    "Full settlement by transferring assets produces a gain on restructuring equal to carrying amount of the payable less fair value of the assets, plus a separate gain or loss on transfer of assets equal to fair value less the assets' carrying amount (470-60-35-2 through 35-3); equity interests granted are recorded at fair value (470-60-35-4).",
    "In a modification-of-terms TDR, the debtor does not change the carrying amount and applies a new effective interest rate that equates the present value of future cash payments (excluding contingent amounts) to that carrying amount (470-60-35-5).",
    "If total future cash payments under the new terms are less than the carrying amount, the debtor reduces the payable to that total, recognizes a gain, and thereafter records all payments as reductions of carrying amount with no interest expense (470-60-35-6).",
    "Contingent payments are assumed payable and included in total future cash payments to the extent needed to prevent recognizing a gain that could be offset by future interest expense; they are later accrued under 450-20-25-2 (470-60-35-7, 35-10).",
    "The Subtopic does not apply where the debtor restates its liabilities generally in bankruptcy or a quasi-reorganization (470-60-15-10, 55-1) and excludes lease modifications and mere payment delays (470-60-15-11); disclosures include principal changes in terms, aggregate gain on restructuring, net gain or loss on asset transfers, and per-share gain (470-60-50-1)."

  "audience_level": "intermediate",

Also remember the two-part scope test: debtor financial difficulty plus a creditor concession (a decreased effective borrowing rate under 470-60-55-10); if either is absent, apply 470-50 instead.",

The accounting for restructured debt is based on the substance of the modifications—the effect on cash flows—not on the labels chosen to describe those cash flows. The substance of all modifications of a debt in a [troubled debt restructuring](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#troubled-debt-restructuring "A restructuring of a debt constitutes a troubled debt restructuring if the creditor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider.") is essentially the same whether they involve modifications of any of the following:

1.  a
    
    Timing
    
2.  b
    
    Amounts designated as interest
    
3.  c
    
    Amounts designated as face amounts.

All of those kinds of modifications affect future cash receipts or payments and therefore affect both of the following:

1.  a
    
    The creditor's total return on the receivable, its effective interest rate, or both
    
2.  b
    
    The debtor's total cost on the payable, its effective interest rate, or both.

The substance rather than the form of the payable shall govern. Payables that may be involved in troubled debt restructurings commonly result from borrowing of cash, or purchasing goods or services on credit. Examples are accounts payable, notes, debentures and bonds (whether those payables are secured or unsecured and whether they are convertible or nonconvertible), and related accrued interest, if any. Typically, each payable is negotiated separately, but sometimes two or more payables are negotiated together. For example, a debtor may negotiate with a group of creditors but sign separate debt instruments with each creditor. For purposes of this Subtopic, restructuring of each payable, including those negotiated and restructured jointly, shall be accounted for individually.

That concession is granted by the creditor in an attempt to protect as much of its investment as possible. That concession either stems from an agreement between the creditor and the debtor or is imposed by law or a court; for example, either of the following circumstances might occur:

1.  a
    
    A creditor may restructure the terms of a debt to alleviate the burden of the debtor's near-term cash requirements, and many troubled debt restructurings involve modifying terms to reduce or defer cash payments required of the debtor in the near future to help the debtor attempt to improve its financial condition and eventually be able to pay the creditor.
    
2.  b
    
    The creditor may accept cash, other assets, or an equity interest in the debtor in satisfaction of the debt though the value received is less than the amount of the debt because the creditor concludes that step will maximize recovery of its investment.
    

Although troubled debt that is fully satisfied by foreclosure, repossession, or other transfer of assets or by grant of equity securities by the debtor is, in a technical sense, not restructured, that kind of event is included in the term _troubled debt restructuring_ in this Subtopic.

Whatever the form of concession granted by the creditor to the debtor in a troubled debt restructuring, the creditor's objective is to make the best of a difficult situation. That is, the creditor expects to obtain more cash or other value from the debtor, or to increase the probability of receipt, by granting the concession than by not granting it.

In general, a debtor that can obtain funds from sources other than the existing creditor at market interest rates at or near those for nontroubled debt is not involved in a troubled debt restructuring. A debtor in a troubled debt restructuring can obtain funds from sources other than the existing creditor in the troubled debt restructuring, if at all, only at effective interest rates (based on market prices) so high that it cannot afford to pay them.

A troubled debt restructuring may include, but is not necessarily limited to, one or a combination of the following:

1.  a
    
    Transfer from the debtor to the creditor of receivables from third parties, real estate, or other assets to satisfy fully or partially a debt (including a transfer resulting from foreclosure or repossession)
    
2.  b
    
    Issuance or other granting of an equity interest to the creditor by the debtor to satisfy fully or partially a debt unless the equity interest is granted pursuant to existing terms for converting the debt into an equity interest
    
3.  c
    
    Modification of terms of a debt, such as one or a combination of any of the following:
    
    1.  1
        
        Reduction (absolute or contingent) of the stated interest rate for the remaining original life of the debt
        
    2.  2
        
        Extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk
        
    3.  3
        
        Reduction (absolute or contingent) of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the instrument or other agreement
        
    4.  4
        
        Reduction (absolute or contingent) of accrued interest.

The guidance in this Subtopic shall be applied to all troubled debt restructurings including those consummated under reorganization, arrangement, or other provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Act or other federal statutes related thereto. This Subtopic does not apply, however, if under provisions of those federal statutes or in a quasi-reorganization or corporate readjustment (see Topic 852) with which a troubled debt restructuring coincides, the debtor restates its liabilities generally, that is, if such restructurings or modifications accomplished under purview of the bankruptcy court encompass most of the amount of the debtor's liabilities.

A debt restructuring is not necessarily a troubled debt restructuring for purposes of this Subtopic even if the debtor is experiencing some financial difficulties. For example, a troubled debt restructuring is not involved if any of the following circumstances exist:

1.  a
    
    The [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.") of cash, other assets, or an equity interest accepted by a creditor from a debtor in full satisfaction of its receivable at least equals the creditor's [amortized cost basis](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/a/#amortized-cost-basis "The amortized cost basis is the amount at which a financing receivable or investment is originated or acquired, adjusted for applicable accrued interest, accretion, or amortization of premium, discount, and net deferred fees or costs, collection of cash, writeoffs, foreign exchange, and fair value hedge accounting adjustments.") in the receivable.
    
2.  b
    
    The fair value of cash, other assets, or an equity interest transferred by a debtor to a creditor in full settlement of its payable at least equals the debtor's carrying amount of the payable.
    
3.  c
    
    The creditor reduces the effective interest rate on the debt primarily to reflect a decrease in market interest rates in general or a decrease in the risk so as to maintain a relationship with a debtor that can readily obtain funds from other sources at the current market interest rate.
    
4.  d
    
    The debtor issues in exchange for its debt new marketable debt having an effective interest rate based on its market price that is at or near the current market interest rates of debt with similar maturity dates and stated interest rates issued by nontroubled debtors.

A debtor that transfers its receivables from third parties, real estate, or other assets to a creditor to settle fully a payable shall recognize a gain on restructuring of payables. The gain shall be measured by the excess of the [carrying amount](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#carrying-amount "For a receivable, the face amount increased or decreased by applicable accrued interest and applicable unamortized premium, discount, finance charges, or issue costs and also an allowance for uncollectible amounts and other valuation accounts.For a payable, the face amount increased or decreased by applicable accrued interest and applicable unamortized premium, discount, finance charges, or issue costs") of the payable over the [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.") of the assets transferred to the creditor. However, while the guidance in this Subtopic indicates that the fair value of assets transferred or the fair value of an equity interest granted shall be used in accounting for a settlement of a payable in a troubled debt restructuring, that guidance is not intended to preclude using the fair value of the payable settled if more clearly evident than the fair value of the assets transferred or of the equity interest granted in a full settlement of a payable. However, in a partial settlement of a payable, the fair value of the assets transferred or of the equity interest granted shall be used in all cases to avoid the need to allocate the fair value of the payable between the part settled and the part still outstanding.

A difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of assets transferred to a creditor to settle a payable is a gain or loss on transfer of assets. The carrying amount of a receivable encompasses not only unamortized premium, discount, acquisition costs, and the like but also an allowance for uncollectible amounts and other valuation accounts, if any. The debtor shall include that gain or loss in measuring net income for the period of transfer, reported as provided in Topic 220. A loss on transferring receivables to creditors may therefore have been wholly or partially recognized in measuring net income before the transfer and be wholly or partly a reduction of a valuation account rather than a gain or loss in measuring net income for the period of the transfer.

A debtor in a troubled debt restructuring involving only modification of terms of a payable—that is, not involving a transfer of assets or grant of an equity interest— shall account for the effects of the restructuring prospectively from the [time of restructuring](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#time-of-restructuring "Troubled debt restructurings may occur before, at, or after the stated maturity of debt, and time may elapse between the agreement, court order, and so forth, and the transfer of assets or equity interest, the effective date of new terms, or the occurrence of another event that constitutes consummation of the restructuring. The date of consummation is the time of the restructuring."), and shall not change the carrying amount of the payable at the time of the restructuring unless the carrying amount exceeds the total future cash payments specified by the new terms. Total future cash payments includes related accrued interest, if any, at the time of the restructuring that continues to be payable under the new terms. That is, the effects of changes in the amounts or timing (or both) of future cash payments designated as either interest or face amount shall be reflected in future periods. Interest expense shall be computed in a way such that a constant effective interest rate is applied to the carrying amount of the payable at the beginning of each period between restructuring and maturity (in substance the interest method prescribed by paragraphs [835-30-35-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/835/30/#835-30-35-2) and

[835-30-35-4 through 35-5](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/835/30/#835-30-35-4)

If, however, the total future cash payments specified by the new terms of a payable, including both payments designated as interest and those designated as face amount, are less than the carrying amount of the payable, the debtor shall reduce the carrying amount to an amount equal to the total future cash payments specified by the new terms and shall recognize a gain on restructuring of payables equal to the amount of the reduction. If the carrying amount of the payable comprises several accounts (for example, face amount, accrued interest, and unamortized premium, discount, finance charges, and issue costs) that are to be continued after the restructuring, some possibly being combined, the reduction in carrying amount may need to be allocated among the remaining accounts in proportion to the previous balances. Thereafter, all cash payments under the terms of the payable shall be accounted for as reductions of the carrying amount of the payable, and no interest expense shall be recognized on the payable for any period between the restructuring and maturity of the payable. The only exception is to recognize interest expense according to paragraph [470-60-35-10](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/60/#470-60-35-10). However, the debtor may choose to carry the amount designated as face amount by the new terms in a separate account and adjust another account accordingly.

A debtor shall not recognize a gain on a restructured payable involving indeterminate future cash payments as long as the maximum total future cash payments may exceed the carrying amount of the payable. Amounts designated either as interest or as face amount by the new terms may be payable contingent on a specified event or circumstance (for example, the debtor may be required to pay specified amounts if its financial condition improves to a specified degree within a specified period). To determine whether the debtor shall recognize a gain according to the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, those contingent amounts shall be included in the total future cash payments specified by the new terms to the extent necessary to prevent recognizing a gain at the time of restructuring that may be offset by future interest expense. Thus, the debtor shall apply paragraphs [450-30-25-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/450/30/#450-30-25-1) and [450-30-50-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/450/30/#450-30-50-1) in which probability of occurrence of a gain contingency is not a factor, and shall assume that contingent future payments will have to be paid. The same principle applies to amounts of future cash payments that must sometimes be estimated to apply the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs. For example, if the number of future interest payments is flexible because the face amount and accrued interest is payable on demand or becomes payable on demand, estimates of total future cash payments shall be based on the maximum number of periods possible under the restructured terms.

A troubled debt restructuring may involve partial settlement of a payable by the debtor's transferring assets or granting an equity interest (or both) to the creditor and modification of terms of the remaining payable. Even if the stated terms of the remaining payable, for example, the stated interest rate and the maturity date or dates, are not changed in connection with the transfer of assets or grant of an equity interest, the restructuring shall be accounted for as prescribed by this guidance. A debtor shall account for a troubled debt restructuring involving a partial settlement and a modification of terms as prescribed in paragraphs

[470-60-35-5 through 35-7](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/60/#470-60-35-5)

If cash is paid in a partial settlement of a payable in a troubled debt restructuring, the carrying amount of the payable shall be reduced by the amount of cash paid. A difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of assets transferred to the creditor shall be recognized as a gain or loss on transfer of assets. No gain on restructuring of payables shall be recognized unless the remaining carrying amount of the payable exceeds the total future cash payments (including amounts contingently payable) specified by the terms of the debt remaining unsettled after the restructuring. Future interest expense, if any, shall be determined according to the provisions of paragraphs

If a troubled debt restructuring involves amounts contingently payable, those contingent amounts shall be recognized as a payable and as interest expense in future periods in accordance with paragraph [450-20-25-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/450/20/#450-20-25-2). Thus, in general, interest expense for contingent payments shall be recognized in each period in which both of the following conditions exist:

2.  b
    
    The amount of that liability can be reasonably estimated.
    

Before recognizing a payable and interest expense for amounts contingently payable, however, accrual or payment of those amounts shall be deducted from the carrying amount of the restructured payable to the extent that contingent payments included in total future cash payments specified by the new terms prevented recognition of a gain at the time of restructuring (see paragraph [470-60-35-7](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/60/#470-60-35-7)).

[470-60-35-5 through 35-7](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/60/#470-60-35-5)

because future interest payments are expected to fluctuate—for example, the restructured terms may specify the stated interest rate to be the prime interest rate increased by a specified amount or proportion—estimates of maximum total future payments shall be based on the interest rate in effect at the time of the restructuring. Fluctuations in the effective interest rate after the restructuring from changes in the prime rate or other causes shall be accounted for as changes in estimates in the periods in which the changes occur. However, the accounting for those fluctuations shall not result in recognizing a gain on restructuring that may be offset by future cash payments (see the preceding paragraph and paragraph [470-60-35-7](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/60/#470-60-35-7)). Rather, the carrying amount of the restructured payable shall remain unchanged, and future cash payments shall reduce the carrying amount until the time that any gain recognized cannot be offset by future cash payments.

Entities involved with Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings frequently reduce all or most of their indebtedness with the approval of their creditors and the court in order to provide an opportunity for the entity to have a fresh start. Such reductions are usually by a stated percentage so that, for example, the debtor owes only 60 cents on the dollar. Because the debtor would be restating its liabilities generally, this Subtopic would not apply to the debtor's accounting for such reduction of liabilities.

No single characteristic or factor, taken alone, is determinative of whether a modification or exchange is a troubled debt restructuring under this Subtopic. That is, the fact that a single characteristic is present in a transaction (such as that described in paragraph [470-60-15-9(c)(3)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/60/#470-60-15-9) or [470-60-15-12(d)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/60/#470-60-15-12)) should not be considered sufficient to overcome the preponderance of contrary evidence. Determining whether a transaction is within the scope of this Subtopic requires the exercise of judgment. The guidance that follows is not limited to marketable debt instruments.

The following factors have no relevance in the determination of whether a modification or an exchange is within the scope of this Subtopic:

1.  a
    
    The amount invested in the old debt by the current creditors
    
2.  b
    
    The [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.") of the old debt immediately before the modification or exchange compared to the fair value of the new debt at issuance
    
3.  c
    
    Transactions among debt holders.
    

In addition, the length of time the current creditors have held the investment in the old debt is not relevant in the determination of whether a modification or exchange is within the scope of this Subtopic unless all the current creditors recently acquired the debt from the previous debt holders to effect what is in substance a planned refinancing.

If the debtor's creditworthiness (for example, based on its credit rating or equivalent, the effects of the original collateral or credit enhancements in the debt, or its sector risk) has deteriorated since the debt was originally issued, the debtor should evaluate whether it is experiencing financial difficulties. Changes in an investment-grade credit rating are not considered a deterioration in the debtor's creditworthiness for purposes of this guidance. Conversely, a decline in credit rating from investment grade to noninvestment grade is considered a deterioration in the debtor's creditworthiness for purposes of this guidance.

All of the following factors are indicators that the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties:

1.  a
    
    The debtor is currently in default on any of its debt.
    
2.  b
    
    The debtor has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy.
    
3.  c
    
    There is significant doubt as to whether the debtor will continue to be a going concern.
    
4.  d
    
    Currently, the debtor has securities that have been delisted, are in the process of being delisted, or are under threat of being delisted from an exchange.
    
5.  e
    
    Based on estimates and projections that only encompass the current business capabilities, the debtor forecasts that its entity-specific cash flows will be insufficient to service the debt (both interest and principal) in accordance with the contractual terms of the existing agreement through maturity.
    
6.  f
    
    Absent the current modification, the debtor cannot obtain funds from sources other than the existing creditors at an effective interest rate equal to the current market interest rate for similar debt for a nontroubled debtor.

Notwithstanding the above, the following factors, if both are present, provide determinative evidence that the debtor is not experiencing financial difficulties, and, thus, the modification or exchange is not within the scope of this Subtopic (the presence of either factor individually would be an indicator, but not determinative, that the debtor is not experiencing financial difficulty):

1.  a
    
    The debtor is currently servicing the old debt and can obtain funds to repay the old prepayable debt from sources other than the existing creditors (without regard to the current modification) at an effective interest rate equal to the current market interest rate for a nontroubled debtor.
    
2.  b
    
    The creditors agree to restructure the old debt solely to reflect a decrease in current market interest rates for the debtor or positive changes in the creditworthiness of the debtor since the debt was originally issued.

A creditor is deemed to have granted a concession if the debtor's effective borrowing rate on the restructured debt is less than the effective borrowing rate of the old debt immediately before the restructuring. The effective borrowing rate of the restructured debt (after giving effect to all the terms of the restructured debt including any new or revised options or warrants, any new or revised guarantees or letters of credit, and so forth) should be calculated by projecting all the cash flows under the new terms and solving for the discount rate that equates the present value of the cash flows under the new terms to the debtor's current [carrying amount](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#carrying-amount "For a receivable, the face amount increased or decreased by applicable accrued interest and applicable unamortized premium, discount, finance charges, or issue costs and also an allowance for uncollectible amounts and other valuation accounts.For a payable, the face amount increased or decreased by applicable accrued interest and applicable unamortized premium, discount, finance charges, or issue costs")of the old debt.

When determining the effect of any new or revised sweeteners (options, warrants, guarantees, letters of credit, and so forth), the current fair value of the new sweetener or change in fair value of the revised sweetener would be included in day-one cash flows. If such sweeteners are not exercisable for a period of time, that delay is typically considered within the estimation of the initial fair value as of the debt's modification date.

Although considered rare, if there is persuasive evidence that the decrease in the effective borrowing rate is due solely to a factor that is not captured in the mathematical calculation (for example, additional collateral), the creditor may not have granted a concession and the modification or exchange should be evaluated based on the substance of the modification.

Notwithstanding the guidance in this Section, if an entity has recently restructured the debt and is currently restructuring that debt again, the effective borrowing rate of the restructured debt (after giving effect to all the terms of the restructured debt including any new or revised options or warrants, any new or revised guarantees or letters of credit, and so forth) should be calculated by projecting all the cash flows under the new terms and solving for the discount rate that equates the present value of the cash flows under the new terms to the debtor's previous carrying amount of the debt immediately preceding the earlier restructuring. In addition, the effective borrowing rate of the restructured debt should be compared with the effective borrowing rate of the debt immediately preceding the earlier restructuring for purposes of determining whether the creditor granted a concession (that is, whether the effective borrowing rate decreased).

Certain transactions, sometimes referred to as conveyances, are in substance borrowings repayable in cash or its equivalent and shall be accounted for as borrowings. Both of the following are examples of such transactions:

1.  a
    
    Entities seeking supplies of oil or gas sometimes make cash advances to operators to finance [exploration](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/e/#exploration "Exploration involves both of the following: Identifying areas that may warrant examination Examining specific areas that are considered to have prospects of containing oil and gas reserves, including drilling exploratory wells and exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells.") in return for the right to purchase oil or gas discovered. Funds advanced for exploration that are repayable by offset against purchases of oil or gas discovered, or in cash if insufficient oil or gas is produced by a specified date, shall be accounted for as a receivable by the lender and as a payable by the operator.
    
2.  b
    
    Funds advanced to an operator that are repayable in cash out of the proceeds from a specified share of future [production](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#production "Production involves lifting the crude oil and natural gas to the surface, extracting saleable hydrocarbons, in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state from oil sands, shale, coalbeds, or other nonrenewable natural resources that are intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas, gathering, treating, field processing (as in the case of processing gas to extract liquid hydrocarbons), and field storage.

The advance is a payable for the recipient of the cash and a receivable for the party making the advance. Such transactions, as well as those described in paragraph [932-360-55-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/932/#360-932-55-2), are commonly referred to as production payments. The two types differ in substance, however, as explained in that paragraph.

  "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.",

    "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).",

    "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)."

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.

### Machine-generated study aids

{
  "summary": "This subtopic governs how an insurance entity that issues surplus notes (also called certificates of contribution, surplus debentures, or capital notes) accounts for them under GAAP. The core rule is that surplus notes are debt, not equity: they are presented as liabilities and interest is accrued over the note's life even though the domiciliary state insurance commissioner must approve each principal and interest payment (470-944-25-1, 35-1, 45-1).",
  "key_points": [
    "Surplus notes shall be accounted for as debt instruments, and equity treatment is inappropriate (470-944-25-1).",
    "Typical characteristics include commissioner approval of issuance and of principal/interest payments, a stated maturity in most cases, scheduled interest, nonvoting status, deep subordination, and limited acceleration rights only on rehabilitation, liquidation, or reorganization (470-944-05-1).",
    "Interest shall be accrued over the life of the note irrespective of whether the domiciliary state insurance commissioner has approved interest and principal payments, and is expensed the same way as interest on other debt (470-944-35-1).",
    "Surplus notes shall be presented as liabilities on the issuer's financial statements (470-944-45-1).",
    "The issuer shall disclose the domiciliary state insurance commissioner's role and ability to approve or disapprove any interest and principal payments (470-944-50-1).",
    "The guidance applies only to issuers; it does not apply to investors in surplus notes (470-944-15-2), and otherwise follows the scope in Section 944-10-15 (470-944-15-1)."

## ASC 470-954: Debt — Health Care Entities

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "This Subtopic gives health care entity-specific debt guidance, principally for tax-exempt bond financings. Bonds issued by a financing authority for a health care entity's benefit are recorded as a liability (or lease liability) only if the entity is responsible for repayment; otherwise the proceeds are reported as contributions from the sponsoring entity. It also addresses arbitrage rebate liabilities owed to the U.S. Treasury and the accounting for crossover refundings.",
  "key_points": [
    "Tax-exempt bonds issued by a financing authority for the benefit of a health care entity are reported as a liability on the entity's balance sheet if the entity is responsible for repayment, and that obligation may take the form of a lease liability (470-954-25-1).",
    "If the health care entity has no obligation to pay principal and interest (or related lease payments), no liability is recorded and the bond proceeds are reported as contributions from the sponsoring entity (470-954-25-1).",
    "IRS rules prohibit investment yield on tax-exempt debt proceeds from exceeding the interest rate on the debt; excess earnings create an arbitrage rebate liability payable to the U.S. Treasury to preserve tax-exempt status (470-954-25-2).",
    "The arbitrage determination is made as of the issue date, but intentional post-issuance acts can retroactively disqualify the issue, and the rebate can be substantial if proceeds are spent more slowly than planned (470-954-25-2).",
    "In a crossover refunding, the old bonds are not defeased until the crossover date, so no immediate gain or loss is recognized (470-954-40-1).",
    "If retirement dates of the old debt are established, the call premium, unamortized premium or discount, and initial issue costs are recognized systematically over the remaining life of the old debt as an adjustment of the cost of borrowing (470-954-40-1).",
    "The escrowed funds are reported as an asset and both old and new debts as liabilities, with no offsetting; income on the funds and interest expense on both debts are recognized in the income statement (470-954-40-1)."

    "Recognition",

    "Presentation",

  ],
  "audience_level": "intermediate",
  "student_note": "The recurring exam trap is assuming that conduit tax-exempt bond proceeds always create a liability for the health care entity — recognition turns entirely on whether the entity is obligated to repay; if not, the proceeds are contribution revenue. Also remember that a crossover refunding produces no immediate gain or loss and requires gross (non-offset) presentation of the escrow asset and both debts.",

When a financing authority issues tax-exempt bonds or similar debt instruments and uses the proceeds for the benefit of a health care entity, the obligation shall be reported as a liability in the entity's balance sheet if the health care entity is responsible for repayment. In some cases, this obligation may take the form of a liability arising from a lease. If a health care entity has no obligation to make payments of principal and interest on the debt or lease payments on related buildings or equipment, the entity shall not reflect the liability on its balance sheet. In such circumstances, proceeds from the bond issue shall be reported as [contributions](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#contribution "An unconditional transfer of cash or other assets, as well as unconditional promises to give, to an entity or a reduction, settlement, or cancellation of its liabilities in a voluntary nonreciprocal transfer by another entity acting other than as an owner. Those characteristics distinguish contributions from:Exchange transactions, which are reciprocal transfers in which each party receives and sacrifices approximately commensurate valueInvestments by owners and distributions to owners, which are nonreciprocal transfers between an entity and its ownersOther nonreciprocal transfers, such as impositions of taxes or legal judgments, fines, and thefts, which are not voluntary transfers. In a contribution transaction, the resource provider often receives value indirectly by providing a societal benefit although that benefit is not considered to be of commensurate value. In an exchange transaction, the potential public benefits are secondary to the potential direct benefits to the resource provider. The term contribution revenue is used to apply to transactions that are part of the entity's ongoing major or central activities (revenues), or are peripheral or incidental to the entity (gains). See also Inherent Contribution and Conditional Contribution.") from the sponsoring entity.

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations concerning tax-exempt debt prohibit the yield realized from the investment of the proceeds of such debt from exceeding the interest rate to be paid on such debt. Whenever a provider invests tax-exempt bond proceeds and the ultimate yield is higher than the interest rate on the bonds, the provider may be subject to an arbitrage rebate liability. The arbitrage determination is made as of the date of the issue; however, intentional acts undertaken after the date of the issue can disqualify the issue retroactively. The earnings in excess of interest expense represent a liability that must be paid to the U.S. Treasury in order for the bonds to maintain their tax-exempt status. The arbitrage rebate liability may be a substantial amount if the bond proceeds are not spent as quickly as planned. For example, this may occur if a provider encounters a delay in a major construction project.

In a crossover refunding, because the old bonds are not defeased until the crossover date, no immediate gain or loss shall be recognized. If the retirement dates of the old debt have been established, the call premium, unamortized premium or discount, and initial issue costs shall be recognized systematically in the income statement over the remaining life of the old debt as an adjustment of the cost of borrowing related to the old debt.

A not-for-profit entity (NFP) may finance part of its activities from the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds or other obligations issued through state and local financing authorities. Because the NFP is responsible for the repayment of those obligations, that financing shall be recognized as a liability in its statement of financial position.

Municipalities often levy special assessments to finance the construction of certain infrastructure assets or improvements or may levy special assessments for other specified purposes. Alternatively, an entity that intends to develop real estate it owns or leases may form a tax increment financing entity to finance and operate the project infrastructure. Tax increment financing entities are authorized under various state statutes to issue bonds to finance the construction of road, water, and other utility infrastructure for a specific project. Usually, all of the debt is issued by the tax increment financing entity and will be repaid by future user fees or taxes assessed to cover operating costs, such as repairs and maintenance, as well as debt service.

If the special assessment or the assessment to be levied by the tax increment financing entity on each individual property owner is a fixed or determinable amount for a fixed or determinable period, there is a presumption that an obligation shall be recognized by the property owner. Further, with respect to tax increment financing entities, factors such as the following indicate that an entity may be contingently liable for tax increment financing entity debt, and recognition of an obligation shall be evaluated under Topic 450:

1.  a
    
    The entity must satisfy any shortfall in annual debt service obligations.
    
2.  b
    
    There is a pledge of entity assets.
    
3.  c
    
    The entity provides a letter of credit in support of some or all of the tax increment financing entity debt or provides other credit enhancements.

This Example illustrates the guidance in paragraph [970-470-25-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/470/970/#470-970-25-4). The following Cases illustrate the use of municipal bonds and tax increment financing entities for financing the construction of development project infrastructure assets with differing entity obligation impact:

1.  a
    
    Municipal bonds, entity obligation for special assessment amount (Case A)
    
2.  b
    
    Tax increment financing entity, entity obligation for tax increment financing entity debt (Case B)
    
3.  c
    
    Tax increment financing entity, assessment to individual property owners not fixed or determinable, no entity obligation (Case C)
    
4.  d
    
    Tax increment financing entity, assessment to individual property owners is not fixed or determinable, no entity obligation (Case D).

Cases A, B, C, and D share all of the following assumptions:

1.  a
    
    The entity owns 100 percent of the land under development.
    
2.  b
    
    $10 million of bonds are issued for construction of the development infrastructure.
    
3.  c
    
    The interest rate on the bonds is 6 percent and the term is 20 years.
    
4.  d
    
    The annual debt service requirement is $500,000 principal repayment plus interest accrued during the year.
    
5.  e
    
    The project is expected to take 10 years to complete, and no significant sales of property are expected until the third year. All of the property under development is intended for sale.
    
6.  f
    
    The property under development is subject to lien if there is a default on the assessment.

A municipality issues bonds to finance construction of the infrastructure assets. The municipality levies a special assessment on the property that is equal to the face amount of the bonds. The special assessment bears interest at the same rate as the bonds. In this Case, if there are 100 equal-sized parcels in the development, each parcel will be assessed $5,000 per year plus accrued interest for 20 years. The assessment remains with the property. Accordingly, upon sale or partial sale of the development, the entity must pay the remaining assessment on the property sold or the purchaser must assume the obligation.

Property owners will be subject to a tax on an equal basis determined by the number of lots in the district. The tax will be levied annually, based on the tax increment financing entity's debt service requirement for that year. Accordingly, if there are 100 parcels in the development, $5,000 plus interest accrued for the year is expected to be levied on each parcel annually for the 20 years the debt is outstanding. Additional assessments may be levied by the tax increment financing entity for maintenance or other services. These assessments are in addition to normal property tax assessments.

The rates for annual assessments are determined prior to issuance of the debt and are limited to a maximum annual tax rate based on anticipated debt service requirements. The rate levied is dependent on the land use category of each parcel of property in the district. Developed property is taxed at the maximum rate, unless a lesser amount is needed to meet current year debt service and maintenance obligations. If the amount levied for developed property is not sufficient, undeveloped property is subject to tax up to the maximum rate. If the maximum rate applied to both developed and undeveloped property is insufficient, additional taxes may be assessed only if approved by eligible voters.

Because the assessment on each individual property owner is dependent on the rate of development and, therefore, is not fixed or determinable, an obligation is not required to be recognized. However, if the entity must satisfy any shortfall in annual debt service requirements, recognition of an obligation must be evaluated pursuant to Subtopic 450-20.

The assessment on each individual property is not determinable because it is based on the current tax rate and the assessed value of the property. Accordingly, the entity is not required to recognize an obligation. The assessments will be treated as property taxes. If, however, the entity had guaranteed the tax increment financing entity debt or must satisfy any shortfall in annual debt service requirements, the recognition of an obligation would be evaluated pursuant to Subtopic 450-20.

## ASC 470-980: Debt — Regulated Operations

{
  "summary": "This Subtopic modifies the general rule that gains and losses on early extinguishment of debt hit income immediately (Subtopic 470-50) for entities whose rates are set by a regulator. If the regulator will recover a reacquisition loss through future rates, the regulated entity capitalizes the excess of reacquisition price over net carrying amount as a regulatory asset; if the regulator will reduce future rates for a gain, the entity records a regulatory liability. Either amount is amortized as an adjustment of interest expense over the period reflected in rate-making.",
  "key_points": [
    "Subtopic 470-50 normally requires a gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt to be recognized in income in the period of extinguishment, but for rate-making the difference between net carrying amount and reacquisition price may be amortized as an adjustment of interest expense over a future period (470-980-40-1).",
    "When debt is reacquired for more than its net carrying amount and the regulator increases future rates to amortize the difference, that decision gives reasonable assurance of an asset, so the entity capitalizes the excess cost (470-980-40-2; see 980-340-25-1).",
    "The capitalized excess is amortized over the period during which it will be allowed for rate-making purposes (470-980-40-2).",
    "When debt is reacquired for less than its net carrying amount and the regulator reduces future rates, a liability is imposed on the entity, which records the difference as a liability (470-980-40-3; see 980-405-25-1(c)).",
    "That liability is amortized over the period during which permitted rates will be reduced (470-980-40-3).",
    "The scope of this Subtopic is the same as the Regulated Operations Overall Subtopic scope in Section 980-10-15 (470-980-15-1)."

Subtopic 470-50 requires recognition in income of a gain or loss on an early extinguishment of debt in the period in which the debt is extinguished. For rate-making purposes, the difference between the entity's net carrying amount of the extinguished debt and the reacquisition price may be amortized as an adjustment of interest expense over some future period.

If the debt is reacquired for an amount in excess of the entity's net carrying amount, the regulator's decision to increase future rates by amortizing the difference for rate-making purposes provides reasonable assurance of the existence of an asset (see paragraph [980-340-25-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/340/980/#340-980-25-1)). Accordingly, the regulated entity shall [capitalize](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#capitalize "Capitalize is used to indicate that the cost would be recorded as the cost of an asset. That procedure is often referred to as deferring a cost, and the resulting asset is sometimes described as a deferred cost.") the excess cost and amortize it over the period during which it will be allowed for rate-making purposes.

If the debt is reacquired for an amount that is less than the entity's net carrying amount, the regulator's decision to reduce future rates by amortizing the difference for rate-making purposes imposes a liability on the regulated entity (see paragraph [980-405-25-1(c)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/405/980/#405-980-25-1)). Accordingly, the entity would record the difference as a liability and amortize it over the period during which permitted rates will be reduced.
