future major repairs and replacements

This Subtopic sets the note disclosure requirements unique to common interest realty associations (CIRAs) — condominiums, homeowners associations, cooperative housing corporations, and time-share associations. Beyond ordinary GAAP disclosures, a CIRA must describe its legal form and the entity it serves, developer services/subsidies and developer-owned units, the proposed use of special assessment funds, and any assessments used for undesignated purposes (235-972-50-1). It must also disclose its funding for future major repairs and replacements (235-972-50-2) and present cost estimates for those repairs and replacements as unaudited supplementary information (235-972-50-3).

This Subtopic tells common interest realty associations (CIRAs) — cooperatives, condominium associations, and homeowners associations — when to recognize common real and personal property as assets, how to measure it, and what to disclose. Cooperatives recognize all common real property because they hold title and can dispose of it and keep the proceeds; other CIRAs generally do not recognize real property directly associated with the units, and recognize property not directly associated with the units only if they have title or other evidence of ownership plus disposal discretion or significant cash-flow generation. Recognized property is measured at cost (or fair value if acquired in a nonmonetary transaction such as a developer transfer) and depreciated over estimated useful lives.
