   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.
