 repurchase the note or if the entity retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the
financial asset. An entity has retained substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership of a financial asset
if its exposure to the variability in the present value of the future net cash flows from the financial asset does
not change significantly as a result of the transfer (example- because the company has sold the financial
asset but subject to an agreement to buy it back at a fixed price or the sales price plus a tenders return.

Most discounting of note receivable are treated as a sale, and a sale of financial asset requires de-
recognition from the accounting records since there has been a transfer of contractual rights to receive the
cash flows of the financial asset, any gain or loss on de-recognition is reported in the current period income
or loss. The gain or loss is determined by the difference of the net proceeds on the sale of the asset and the
carrying value of the financial asset. The carrying value of the financial asset (note receivable) is the
combined amount of the present value or amortized cost of the note and the accrued interest on the date of
sale.

If the discounting is treated as a borrowing, the financial asset (note receivable) is continually recognize in
the books of the transferor until the maker settles the financial asset; recognize no amount of gain or loss on
the transfer. However, the transferor must recognize an accounting liability equal to the carrying value of
financial liability.
