- 470-10Overall470 Debt
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.
