## Machine-generated topic summary

ASC 825 is the "overall" home for financial instruments guidance that does not fit elsewhere, and it does two main things: it permits the irrevocable, instrument-by-instrument fair value option (FVO) for eligible financial assets, financial liabilities, firm commitments, and written loan commitments with changes in earnings, and it requires incremental disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, concentrations of credit risk, and market risk (825-10). Subtopic 825-20 adds a distinct rule that registration payment arrangements are a separate unit of account — the underlying instrument is measured under other GAAP (e.g., 815-10, 815-40, 835-30) ignoring the contingency, while the contingent obligation follows the loss-contingency model of 450-20. The industry Subtopics tailor this framework: depository and lending institutions disclose face/contract amount, nature and terms, and collateral policies for instruments with off-balance-sheet credit risk (825-942); insurance entities record investment contract receipts as liabilities rather than revenue and disclose reinsurance credit-risk concentrations (825-944); and not-for-profit health care entities report FVO unrealized gains and losses within the performance indicator (825-954). The unifying idea is election-based fair value measurement plus transparency about risks (credit, market, off-balance-sheet) that the balance sheet alone does not reveal.

## ASC 825-10: Financial Instruments — Overall

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "ASC 825-10 provides the overall guidance for financial instruments, containing two sets of rules: the fair value option (FVO), which lets any entity irrevocably elect, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities, firm commitments, and written loan commitments at fair value with changes in earnings; and incremental disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments, concentrations of credit risk, and market risk. The FVO is elected instrument by instrument, only for an entire instrument (not specific risks or cash flows), and is intended to mitigate earnings volatility from measuring related assets and liabilities differently without applying hedge accounting.",
  "key_points": [
    "Eligible items for the fair value option include recognized financial assets and liabilities, firm commitments involving only financial instruments, written loan commitments, certain insurance contracts and warranties settleable by paying a third party, and host financial instruments from bifurcated nonfinancial hybrids (825-10-15-4).",
    "The fair value option may never be elected for consolidated subsidiaries or consolidated VIE interests, pension/postretirement and other deferred compensation obligations, lease-related financial assets and liabilities, demand deposit liabilities, or instruments classified in shareholders' equity including temporary equity (825-10-15-5).",
    "The election is instrument by instrument, irrevocable absent a new election date, and must apply to an entire instrument rather than specified risks, cash flows, or portions (825-10-25-2); upfront costs and fees are expensed as incurred (825-10-25-3).",
    "Election dates are limited to first recognition of the item, entering an eligible firm commitment, loss of specialized fair value accounting, a change to equity method accounting, or an event requiring one-time fair value remeasurement such as a business combination, consolidation/deconsolidation, or significant debt modification (825-10-25-4 through 25-5).",
    "Exceptions to instrument-by-instrument election require applying the option to the whole loan balance for multiple advances, to all financial interests in an equity-method investee, to all claims and obligations under an insurance/reinsurance contract, and to a base insurance contract's features or riders (825-10-25-7).",
    "Fair value amounts must be presented separately from similar items measured on another basis, parenthetically or as separate line items (825-10-45-1B through 45-2); business entities report unrealized gains and losses in earnings (825-10-45-4), but the portion of a liability's fair value change from instrument-specific credit risk goes to OCI and is recognized in net income at derecognition (825-10-45-5, 45-6).",
    "Public business entities must disclose the fair value of financial instruments and their hierarchy level (825-10-50-10), all entities must disclose significant concentrations of credit risk (825-10-50-20 through 50-21), and FVO users must provide the disclosures in 825-10-50-28 through 50-32, including reasons for election, fair value versus unpaid principal balance, and credit-risk-related gains and losses."

Either of the following conditions exists: The repayment of principal and interest credited to participants in the plan is a financial obligation of the issuer of the investment contract. Prospective interest crediting rate adjustments are provided to participants in the plan on a designated pool of investments held by the plan or the contract issuer, whereby a financially responsible third party, through a contract generally referred to as a wrapper, must provide assurance that the adjustments to the interest crediting rate will not result in a future interest crediting rate that is less than zero. If an event has occurred such that realization of full contract value for a particular investment contract is no longer probable (for example, a significant decline in creditworthiness of the contract issuer or wrapper provider), the investment contract shall no longer be considered fully benefit-responsive. The terms of the investment contract require all permitted participant-initiated transactions with the plan to occur at contract value with no conditions, limits, or restrictions. Permitted participant-initiated transactions are those transactions allowed by the plan, such as any of the following: Withdrawals for benefits Loans Transfers to other funds within the plan. An event that limits the ability of the plan to transact at contract value with the issuer and that also limits the ability of the plan to transact at contract value with the participants in the plan, such as any of the following, must be probable of not occurring: Premature termination of the contracts by the plan Plant closings Layoffs Plan termination Bankruptcy Mergers Early retirement incentives. The plan itself must allow participants reasonable access to their funds. If access to funds is substantially restricted by plan provisions, investment contracts held by those plans may not be considered to be fully benefit-responsive. For example, if plan participants are allowed access at contract value to all or a portion of their account balances only upon termination of their participation in the plan, it would not be considered reasonable access and, therefore, investment contracts held by that plan would generally not be deemed to be fully benefit-responsive. However, in plans with a single investment fund that allow reasonable access to assets by inactive participants, restrictions on access to assets by active participants consistent with the objective of the plan (for example, retirement or health and welfare benefits) will not affect the benefit responsiveness of the investment contracts held by those single-fund plans. Also, if a plan limits participants' access to their account balances to certain specified times during the plan year (for example, semiannually or quarterly) to control the administrative costs of the plan, that limitation generally would not affect the benefit responsiveness of the investment contracts held by that plan. In addition, administrative provisions that place short-term restrictions (for example, three or six months) on transfers to competing fixed-rate investment options to limit arbitrage among those investment options (equity wash provisions) would not affect a contract's benefit responsiveness."><span>Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contract</span></a></td><td class="entry">Added</td><td class="entry"><a href="https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/updates/asu-2015-12/" class="xref">Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-12</a> (Part I)</td><td class="entry">07/31/2015</td></tr><tr><td class="entry"><a href="https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/i/#income-taxes" class="term" title="Domestic and foreign federal (national), state, and local (including franchise) taxes based on income."><span>Income Taxes</span></a></td><td class="entry">Added</td><td class="entry"><a href="https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/updates/asu-2026-02/" class="xref">Accounting Standards Update No. 2026-02</a></td><td class="entry">05/19/2026</td></tr><tr><td class="entry"><strong class="ph b">Nonpublic Entity</strong> (4th def.)</td><td class="entry">Superseded</td><td class="entry"><a href="https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/updates/asu-2016-01/" class="xref">Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01</a></td><td class="entry">01/05/2016</td></tr><tr><td class="entry"><a href="https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#nonreciprocal-transfer" class="term" title="Nonreciprocal transfer is a transfer of assets or services in one direction, either from an entity to its owners (whether or not in exchange for their ownership interests) or to another entity, or from owners or another entity to the entity.

The Financial Instruments Topic provides guidance on matters related broadly to all [financial instruments](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#financial-instrument "Cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that both: Imposes on one entity a contractual obligation either: To deliver cash or another financial instrument to a second entity To exchange other financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity. Conveys to that second entity a contractual right either: To receive cash or another financial instrument from the first entity To exchange other financial instruments on potentially favorable terms with the first entity. The use of the term financial instrument in this definition is recursive (because the term financial instrument is included in it), though it is not circular. The definition requires a chain of contractual obligations that ends with the delivery of cash or an ownership interest in an entity. Any number of obligations to deliver financial instruments can be links in a chain that qualifies a particular contract as a financial instrument. Contractual rights and contractual obligations encompass both those that are conditioned on the occurrence of a specified event and those that are not. All contractual rights (contractual obligations) that are financial instruments meet the definition of asset (liability) set forth in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements, although some may not be recognized as assets (liabilities) in financial statements—that is, they may be off-balance-sheet—because they fail to meet some other criterion for recognition. For some financial instruments, the right is held by or the obligation is due from (or the obligation is owed to or by) a group of entities rather than a single entity.

It requires the issuer to transfer consideration to the counterparty if the registration statement for the resale of the financial instrument or instruments subject to the arrangement is not declared effective or if effectiveness of the registration statement is not maintained. That consideration may be payable in a lump sum or it may be payable periodically, and the form of the consideration may vary. For example, the consideration may be in the form of cash, equity instruments, or adjustments to the terms of the financial instrument or instruments that are subject to the registration payment arrangement (such as an increased interest rate on a debt instrument).").

    Circumstances in which entities may choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at [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.") (the fair value option)
    
2.  b
    
    Presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.

All entities may elect 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.") option for any of the following eligible items:

1.  a

2.  b
    
    A [firm commitment](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#firm-commitment "An agreement with an unrelated party, binding on both parties and usually legally enforceable, with the following characteristics:The agreement specifies all significant terms, including the quantity to be exchanged, the fixed price, and the timing of the transaction. The fixed price may be expressed as a specified amount of an entity's functional currency or of a foreign currency. It may also be expressed as a specified interest rate or specified effective yield. The binding provisions of an agreement are regarded to include those legal rights and obligations codified in the laws to which such an agreement is subject. A price that varies with the market price of the item that is the subject of the firm commitment cannot qualify as a fixed price. For example, a price that is specified in terms of ounces of gold would not be a fixed price if the market price of the item to be purchased or sold under the firm commitment varied with the price of gold. The agreement includes a disincentive for nonperformance that is sufficiently large to make performance probable. In the legal jurisdiction that governs the agreement, the existence of statutory rights to pursue remedies for default equivalent to the damages suffered by the nondefaulting party, in and of itself, represents a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance to make performance probable for purposes of applying the definition of a firm commitment.") that would otherwise not be recognized at inception and that involves only financial instruments (for example, a forward purchase contract for a loan that is not readily convertible to cash—that commitment involves only financial instruments—a loan and cash—and would not otherwise be recognized because it is not a derivative instrument)

An entity may choose to elect the fair value option for an eligible item only on the date that one of the following occurs:

1.  a
    
    The entity first recognizes the eligible item.
    
2.  b
    
    The entity enters into an eligible [firm commitment](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#firm-commitment "An agreement with an unrelated party, binding on both parties and usually legally enforceable, with the following characteristics:The agreement specifies all significant terms, including the quantity to be exchanged, the fixed price, and the timing of the transaction. The fixed price may be expressed as a specified amount of an entity's functional currency or of a foreign currency. It may also be expressed as a specified interest rate or specified effective yield. The binding provisions of an agreement are regarded to include those legal rights and obligations codified in the laws to which such an agreement is subject. A price that varies with the market price of the item that is the subject of the firm commitment cannot qualify as a fixed price. For example, a price that is specified in terms of ounces of gold would not be a fixed price if the market price of the item to be purchased or sold under the firm commitment varied with the price of gold. The agreement includes a disincentive for nonperformance that is sufficiently large to make performance probable. In the legal jurisdiction that governs the agreement, the existence of statutory rights to pursue remedies for default equivalent to the damages suffered by the nondefaulting party, in and of itself, represents a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance to make performance probable for purposes of applying the definition of a firm commitment.").
    
3.  c
    
    Financial assets that have been reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings because of specialized accounting principles cease to qualify for that specialized accounting (for example, a transfer of assets from a subsidiary subject to Subtopic 946-10 to another entity within the consolidated reporting entity not subject to that Subtopic).
    
4.  d
    
    The accounting treatment for an investment in another entity changes because the investment becomes subject to the equity method of accounting.

An acquirer, parent, or primary beneficiary decides whether to apply the fair value option to eligible items of an acquiree, subsidiary, or consolidated VIE, but that decision applies only in the consolidated financial statements. Fair value option choices made by an acquired entity, subsidiary, or VIE continue to apply in separate financial statements of those entities if they issue separate financial statements.

The fair value option may be elected for a single eligible item without electing it for other identical items with the following four exceptions:

1.  a
    
    If multiple advances are made to one borrower pursuant to a single contract (such as a line of credit or a construction loan) and the individual advances lose their identity and become part of a larger loan balance, the fair value option shall be applied only to the larger balance and not to each advance individually.
    
2.  b
    
    If the fair value option is applied to an investment that would otherwise be accounted for under the equity method of accounting, it shall be applied to all of the investor's financial interests in the same entity (equity and debt, including guarantees) that are eligible items.
    
3.  c
    
    If the fair value option is applied to an eligible insurance or [reinsurance](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#reinsurance "A transaction in which a reinsurer (assuming entity), for a consideration (premium), assumes all or part of a risk undertaken originally by another insurer (ceding entity). For indemnity reinsurance, the legal rights of the insured are not affected by the reinsurance transaction and the insurance entity issuing the insurance contract remains liable to the insured for payment of policy benefits. Assumption or novation reinsurance contracts that are legal replacements of one insurer by another extinguish the ceding entity's liability to the policyholder.") contract, it shall be applied to all claims and obligations under the contract.
    
4.  d
    
    If the fair value option is elected for an insurance contract (base contract) for which integrated or nonintegrated contract features or coverages (some of which are called riders) are issued either concurrently or subsequently, the fair value option also must be applied to those features or coverages. The fair value option cannot be elected for only the nonintegrated contract features or coverages, even though those features or coverages are accounted for separately under Subtopic 944-30. Paragraph [944-30-35-30](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/944/30/#944-30-35-30) defines a nonintegrated contract feature in an insurance contract. For purposes of applying this Subtopic, neither an integrated contract feature or coverage nor a nonintegrated contract feature or coverage qualifies as a separate instrument.

The fair value option need not be applied to all instruments issued or acquired in a single transaction (except as required by paragraph [825-10-25-7(a) through (b)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/825/10/#825-10-25-7)). For example, investors in shares of stock and registered bonds might apply the fair value option to only some of the shares or bonds issued or acquired in a single transaction. For this purpose, an individual bond is considered to be the minimum denomination of that debt security.

All contractual rights (contractual obligations) that are financial instruments meet the definition of asset (liability) set forth in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements, although some may not be recognized as assets (liabilities) in financial statements—that is, they may be off-balance-sheet—because they fail to meet some other criterion for recognition.

If an entity has designated a financial liability under the fair value option in accordance with this Subtopic or Subtopic 815-15 on embedded derivatives, the entity shall measure the financial liability at fair value with qualifying changes in fair value recognized in net income. The entity shall present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of the liability that results from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk. The entity may consider the portion of the total change in fair value that excludes the amount resulting from a change in a base market risk, such as a risk-free rate or a benchmark interest rate, to be the result of a change in instrument-specific credit risk. Alternatively, an entity may use another method that it considers to faithfully represent the portion of the total change in fair value resulting from a change in instrument-specific credit risk. The entity shall apply the method consistently to each financial liability from period to period.

When changes in instrument-specific credit risk are presented separately from other changes in fair value of a liability denominated in a currency other than an entity's functional currency, the component of the change in fair value of the liability resulting from changes in instrument-specific credit risk shall first be measured in the liability's currency of denomination, and then the cumulative amount shall be adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate in accordance with paragraph [830-20-35-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/830/20/#830-20-35-2). The remeasurement of the component of the change in fair value of the liability resulting from the cumulative changes in instrument-specific credit risk shall be presented in accumulated other comprehensive income.

The disclosure guidance in this Subsection 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."), except for the disclosure guidance in paragraphs

[825-10-50-20 through 50-23](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/825/10/#825-10-50-20)

, which applies to all entities. For interim reporting periods, the disclosure guidance in paragraphs

[825-10-50-20 through 50-23](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/825/10/#825-10-50-20)

5.  e
    
    Warranty obligations (see Topic 450 and the Product Warranties Subsections of Topic 460)

     [Fully benefit-responsive investment contracts](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#fully-benefit-responsive-investment-contract "An investment contract is considered fully benefit-responsive if all of the following criteria are met for that contract, analyzed on an individual basis: The investment contract is effected directly between the plan and the issuer and prohibits the plan from assigning or selling the contract or its proceeds to another party without the consent of the issuer. Either of the following conditions exists: The repayment of principal and interest credited to participants in the plan is a financial obligation of the issuer of the investment contract. Prospective interest crediting rate adjustments are provided to participants in the plan on a designated pool of investments held by the plan or the contract issuer, whereby a financially responsible third party, through a contract generally referred to as a wrapper, must provide assurance that the adjustments to the interest crediting rate will not result in a future interest crediting rate that is less than zero. If an event has occurred such that realization of full contract value for a particular investment contract is no longer probable (for example, a significant decline in creditworthiness of the contract issuer or wrapper provider), the investment contract shall no longer be considered fully benefit-responsive. The terms of the investment contract require all permitted participant-initiated transactions with the plan to occur at contract value with no conditions, limits, or restrictions. Permitted participant-initiated transactions are those transactions allowed by the plan, such as any of the following: Withdrawals for benefits Loans Transfers to other funds within the plan. An event that limits the ability of the plan to transact at contract value with the issuer and that also limits the ability of the plan to transact at contract value with the participants in the plan, such as any of the following, must be probable of not occurring: Premature termination of the contracts by the plan Plant closings Layoffs Plan termination Bankruptcy Mergers Early retirement incentives. The plan itself must allow participants reasonable access to their funds. If access to funds is substantially restricted by plan provisions, investment contracts held by those plans may not be considered to be fully benefit-responsive. For example, if plan participants are allowed access at contract value to all or a portion of their account balances only upon termination of their participation in the plan, it would not be considered reasonable access and, therefore, investment contracts held by that plan would generally not be deemed to be fully benefit-responsive. However, in plans with a single investment fund that allow reasonable access to assets by inactive participants, restrictions on access to assets by active participants consistent with the objective of the plan (for example, retirement or health and welfare benefits) will not affect the benefit responsiveness of the investment contracts held by those single-fund plans. Also, if a plan limits participants' access to their account balances to certain specified times during the plan year (for example, semiannually or quarterly) to control the administrative costs of the plan, that limitation generally would not affect the benefit responsiveness of the investment contracts held by that plan. In addition, administrative provisions that place short-term restrictions (for example, three or six months) on transfers to competing fixed-rate investment options to limit arbitrage among those investment options (equity wash provisions) would not affect a contract's benefit responsiveness.") held by an employee benefit plan.
     
12.  l
     
     Investments in equity securities accounted for under the measurement guidance for equity securities without readily determinable fair values (see Topic 321)
     
13.  m
     
     Trade receivables and payables due in one year or less
     
14.  n
     
     Deposit liabilities with no defined or contractual maturities.

In disclosing the fair value of a [financial instrument](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#financial-instrument "Cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that both: Imposes on one entity a contractual obligation either: To deliver cash or another financial instrument to a second entity To exchange other financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity. Conveys to that second entity a contractual right either: To receive cash or another financial instrument from the first entity To exchange other financial instruments on potentially favorable terms with the first entity.

The definition requires a chain of contractual obligations that ends with the delivery of cash or an ownership interest in an entity. Any number of obligations to deliver financial instruments can be links in a chain that qualifies a particular contract as a financial instrument. Contractual rights and contractual obligations encompass both those that are conditioned on the occurrence of a specified event and those that are not. All contractual rights (contractual obligations) that are financial instruments meet the definition of asset (liability) set forth in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements, although some may not be recognized as assets (liabilities) in financial statements—that is, they may be off-balance-sheet—because they fail to meet some other criterion for recognition.

An entity is encouraged, but not required, to disclose quantitative information about the market risks of financial instruments that is consistent with the way it manages or adjusts those risks. Appropriate ways of reporting that quantitative information will differ for different entities and will likely evolve over time as management approaches and measurement techniques evolve. Possibilities include disclosing any of the following:

1.  a
    
    More details about current positions and perhaps activity during the period
    
2.  b
    
    The hypothetical effects on comprehensive income (or net assets), or annual income, of several possible changes in market prices
    
3.  c
    
    A gap analysis of interest rate repricing or maturity dates
    
4.  d
    
    The duration of the financial instruments
    
5.  e
    
    The entity's value at risk from derivatives and from other positions at the end of the reporting period and the average value at risk during the year.
    

This list is not exhaustive, and an entity is encouraged to develop other ways of reporting quantitative information.

are to facilitate both of the following comparisons:

1.  a

Effective as of: not established by retrieval timestamps.


Those disclosure requirements are expected to result in the following:

1.  a
    
    Information to enable users of its financial statements to understand management's reasons for electing or partially electing 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.") option
    
2.  b
    
    Information to enable users to understand how changes in fair values affect earnings for the period
    
3.  c
    
    The same information about certain items (such as equity investments and nonperforming loans) that would have been disclosed if the fair value option had not been elected
    
4.  d
    
    Information to enable users to understand the differences between fair values and contractual cash flows for certain items.
    

To meet those objectives, the disclosures described in paragraphs

[825-10-50-28 through 50-32](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/825/10/#825-10-50-28)

are required for items measured at fair value under the option in this Subtopic and the option in paragraph [815-15-25-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/815/15/#815-15-25-4). Those disclosures are not required for securities classified as trading securities under Topic 320, life settlement contracts measured at fair value pursuant to Subtopic 325-30, or servicing rights measured at fair value pursuant to Subtopic 860-50. Those Subtopics include disclosure requirements not affected by this Subtopic.

The terms of certain loan products may increase a reporting entity's exposure to credit risk and thereby may result in a concentration of credit risk as that term is used in this Subtopic, either as an individual product type or as a group of products with similar features. Possible shared characteristics on which significant concentrations may be determined include, but are not limited to, the following:

1.  a
    
    Borrowers subject to significant payment increases
    
2.  b
    
    Loans with terms that permit negative amortization
    
3.  c
    
    Loans with high loan-to-value ratios.

## ASC 825-20: Financial Instruments — Registration Payment Arrangements

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "ASC 825-20 governs registration payment arrangements — agreements in which an issuer must file/obtain effectiveness of a registration statement (or obtain/maintain a stock exchange listing) for financial instruments and must transfer cash or shares to the counterparty if it fails. The core rule is that the arrangement is a separate unit of account: the underlying financial instruments are recognized and measured under other GAAP (e.g., 815-10, 815-40, 835-30) ignoring the contingent obligation, while the contingent obligation itself is recognized and measured under the loss-contingency model in Subtopic 450-20. Extensive disclosures are required even if payment is remote.",
  "key_points": [
    "A registration payment arrangement is recognized and measured as a separate unit of account from the financial instrument(s) subject to it (825-20-25-1; 825-20-30-1).",
    "The underlying financial instruments are accounted for under other applicable GAAP (for example, Subtopics 815-10, 815-40, 835-30) without regard to the contingent obligation, so the arrangement does not affect equity-versus-liability classification of warrants (825-20-25-2; 825-20-30-2; 825-20-55-5).",
    "The contingent obligation to pay cash or transfer consideration is recognized and measured under Subtopic 450-20 (probable and reasonably estimable), and when a range exists with no better estimate, the minimum of the range is accrued (825-20-25-3; 825-20-30-3; 825-20-55-5).",
    "If transfer of consideration is probable and reasonably estimable at inception, the contingent liability is included in the allocation of financing proceeds, with remaining proceeds allocated to the instruments issued under other GAAP — possibly creating a discount (825-20-30-4; 825-20-55-8).",
    "Where shares must be delivered, transfer is probable, and the number of shares can be reasonably estimated, the issuer's share price at the reporting date is used to measure the liability (825-20-30-5).",
    "Initial recognition after inception, and subsequent increases or decreases in the previously recognized contingent liability, are recognized in earnings (825-20-35-1).",
    "Required disclosures include the nature and term of the arrangement, settlement alternatives and who controls them, maximum undiscounted potential consideration (or that there is no limit), carrying amount of the liability, and income statement classification of related gains or losses — even if payment is remote (825-20-50-1; 825-20-50-2)."

  "categories": [
    "Recognition",

  "audience_level": "intermediate",
  "student_note": "The exam trap is thinking that a registration payment penalty taints the classification of the related warrants or shares — it does not; the arrangement is bifurcated as its own unit of account and accounted for as an ASC 450-20 loss contingency. Also remember the scope exclusions (conversion-ratio adjustments, non-stock market/index-referenced consideration, and instruments settled when consideration is transferred) and that disclosure is required even when payment is remote.",

It requires the issuer to transfer consideration to the counterparty if the registration statement for the resale of the financial instrument or instruments subject to the arrangement is not declared effective or if effectiveness of the registration statement is not maintained. That consideration may be payable in a lump sum or it may be payable periodically, and the form of the consideration may vary. For example, the consideration may be in the form of cash, equity instruments, or adjustments to the terms of the financial instrument or instruments that are subject to the registration payment arrangement (such as an increased interest rate on a debt instrument).") regardless of whether it is issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a [financial instrument](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#financial-instrument "Cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that both: Imposes on one entity a contractual obligation either: To deliver cash or another financial instrument to a second entity To exchange other financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity.

The guidance in this Subtopic does not apply to any of the following:

1.  a
    
    Arrangements that require registration or listing of convertible debt instruments or convertible preferred stock if the form of consideration that would be transferred to the counterparty is an adjustment to the conversion ratio. See Subtopic 470-20 on debt with conversion and other options or Subtopic 505-10 on equity for related guidance.
    
2.  b
    
    Arrangements in which the amount of consideration transferred is determined by reference to either of the following:
    
    1.  1
        
        An observable market other than the market for the issuer's stock
        
    2.  2
        
        An observable index.
        
    
    For example, if the consideration to be transferred if the issuer is unable to obtain an effective registration statement is determined by reference to the price of a commodity. See Subtopic 815-15 for related guidance.
    
3.  c
    
    Arrangements in which the financial instrument or instruments subject to the arrangement are settled when the consideration is transferred (for example, a warrant that is contingently puttable if an effective registration statement for the resale of the equity shares that are issuable upon exercise of the warrant is not declared effective by the SEC within a specified grace period).

The following Cases illustrate the application of this Subtopic to a [registration payment arrangement](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#registration-payment-arrangement "An arrangement with both of the following characteristics: It specifies that the issuer will endeavor to do either of the following: File a registration statement for the resale of specified financial instruments and/or for the resale of equity shares that are issuable upon exercise or conversion of specified financial instruments and for that registration statement to be declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (or other applicable securities regulator if the registration statement will be filed in a foreign jurisdiction) within a specified grace period Maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement for a specified period of time (or in perpetuity).

Cases A and B share all of the following assumptions:

1.  a
    
    Entity A issues 10 million shares of common stock and 2 million freestanding warrants to purchase additional shares of common stock for total proceeds of $100 million in a private placement transaction.
    
2.  b
    
    In connection with the offering, Entity A enters into a registration payment arrangement that requires Entity A to use its best efforts to do both of the following:
    
    1.  1
        
        File a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the resale of 12 million shares of common stock. That registration statement must be declared effective within 180 days of the offering's closing date
        
    2.  2
        
        Once the registration statement is effective, maintain its effectiveness for three years.
        
3.  c
    
    If the registration statement is not declared effective within 180 days, or if it ceases to be effective during the 3-year period in which Entity A is required to maintain its effectiveness, the investors are entitled to liquidated damages in the form of monthly cash payments computed as 1.5 percent per month of the $100 million total offering proceeds.

Entity A files a registration statement for the resale of the shares that is declared effective within the 180-day grace period. One year after the effective date of the registration statement, circumstances have changed such that Entity A concludes that it is probable that the effectiveness of the registration statement will not be maintained for some portion of the remaining two-year period. Although Entity A is unable to estimate the exact amount of time that the registration statement will cease to be effective, its reasonable estimate at the reporting date is a period of time ranging between 9 and 18 months. Accordingly, the range of loss is between $13.5 million ($100 million × 1.5 percent × 9 months) and $27 million ($100 million × 1.5 percent × 18 months). At the reporting date, no amount within that range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount.

Effective as of: not established by retrieval timestamps.


The common stock and warrants subject to the registration payment arrangement must be recognized and measured in accordance with other applicable generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) without regard to the contingent obligation to make payments pursuant to the registration payment arrangement. Therefore, that contingent obligation does not affect Entity A's analysis of whether the warrants are classified as liabilities or equity instruments under Subtopic 815-40, regardless of whether the transfer of consideration under the registration payment arrangement is probable. In the period in which it became probable that Entity A will be required to remit payments to the investors for failing to maintain an effective registration statement and a range of payments can be reasonably estimated, a contingent liability should be accrued by a charge to earnings. Because no amount within the range of payments is a better estimate than any other amount, the $13.5 million minimum amount in the range should be accrued.

Based on the relevant facts and circumstances, Entity A can reasonably estimate both of the following:

1.  a
    
    The registration statement will become effective six months after the grace period expires.
    
2.  b
    
    Once effective, registration will be maintained for the three-year required period of effectiveness.

The common stock and warrants subject to the registration payment arrangement must be recognized and measured in accordance with other applicable GAAP without regard to the contingent obligation to make payments pursuant to the registration payment arrangement. Therefore, that contingent obligation does not affect Entity A's analysis of whether the warrants are classified as liabilities or equity instruments under Subtopic 815-40, regardless of whether the transfer of consideration under the registration payment arrangement is probable. Because a transfer of consideration under the registration payment arrangement is probable and can be reasonably estimated at inception, the $9 million ($100 million × 1.5 percent × 6 months) contingent liability under the registration payment arrangement must be included in the allocation of proceeds from the offering. The $91 million of remaining proceeds should be allocated between the common stock and warrants based on the guidance in other applicable GAAP.

If the registration statement is not declared effective within 180 days, or if it ceases to be effective during the 2-year period in which Entity A is required to maintain its effectiveness, the investors are entitled to liquidated damages in the form of an increase to the interest coupon of 50 basis points per month.

Entity A files a registration statement for the resale of the notes that is declared effective within the 180-day grace period. One year after the effective date of the registration statement, circumstances have changed such that Entity A concludes that it is probable that the effectiveness of the registration statement will not be maintained for some portion of the remaining one-year period. Although Entity A is unable to estimate the exact amount of time that the registration statement will cease to be effective, its reasonable estimate at the reporting date is a period of time ranging between three and six months. Accordingly, the range of loss is between $1.5 million ($100 million × 0.5 percent × 3 months) and $3 million ($100 million × 0.5 percent × 6 months). At the reporting date, no amount within that range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount.

In the period in which it became probable that Entity A will be required to remit payments to the investors for failing to maintain an effective registration statement and a range of payments can be reasonably estimated, a contingent liability should be accrued by a charge to earnings. Because no amount within the range of payments is a better estimate than any other amount, the $1.5 million minimum amount in the range should be accrued.

Examples of activities and financial instruments with off-balance-sheet credit risk include obligations for loans sold with recourse (with or without a floating-interest-rate provision), fixed-rate and variable-rate loan commitments, financial guarantees, note issuance facilities at floating rates, and letters of credit. An entity (guarantor) may "lend" its creditworthiness to another party (borrower) for a fee, thereby enhancing that other party's ability to borrow funds. The guarantor may provide a general guarantee of repayment of the borrower's obligation or may pledge specific assets that may be claimed by the creditor in the event of the borrower's default. A loan guarantee typically involves two sets of fees: an initial fee due at the consummation of the transaction and a continuing (annual) fee due over the term of the guarantee. A guarantor may be required to disclose and account for a financial guarantee under Topic 460 on guarantees. See Topic 815 on derivatives and hedging for guarantees accounted for as a derivative.

Even if a ceding entity does not have a significant concentration of credit risk with a single [reinsurer](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#reinsurer "The assuming entity in a reinsurance transaction."), concentration of credit risk disclosures may be required under the provisions of Section 825-10-50.

If a ceding entity is aware that reinsured risks have been retroceded to a diverse group of retrocessionaires, disclosures about concentrations of credit risk still shall be made under Section 825-10-50 because the assuming entity's rights under the retrocessions generally are not available to the ceding entity to mitigate its credit risk. That is, the ceding entity's concentration of credit risk from the assuming entity is unchanged.

Not-for-profit, business-oriented health care entities shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected within the [performance indicator](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#performance-indicator "A performance indicator reports results of operations. A performance indicator and the income from continuing operations reported by for-profit health care entities generally are consistent, except for transactions that clearly are not applicable to one kind of entity (for example, for-profit health care entities typically would not receive contributions, and not-for-profit health care entities would not award stock compensation). That is, a performance indicator is analogous to income from continuing operations of a for-profit entity.") or as a part of discontinued operations, as appropriate. See paragraph [825-10-15-7](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/825/10/#825-10-15-7) for further guidance.
