This Subtopic governs the accounting for notes receivable arising from time-sharing interval sales, which are typically seller-financed recourse promissory notes with 5- to 10-year terms. It requires uncollectibility (of both principal and interest) to be measured on actual collection experience rather than on proceeds from receivable sales or securitizations, and requires an allowance for credit losses estimated each reporting period (at least quarterly) under Subtopic 326-20. It also prescribes specific disclosures about note maturities, interest rates, and allowance activity, including receivables sold with recourse.
