New Neighbor Guaranty (NNG) Allowance for Credit Losses

Note 4. New Neighbor Guaranty (NNG) Allowance for Credit Losses

Allowance for credit losses are recorded for losses that are considered “probable” and can be “reasonably estimated” in accordance with ASC 450-20.  Recoverability of the Company’s Original Product is generally assured because of the protection of the Super Lien under Florida statute and as such no allowance is recorded.  Recoverability of the Company’s NNG Product was, in prior years, considered to be generally assured by the purchase of credit insurance.  The coverage was not renewed and only claims filed related to foreclosures occurring on or before January 28, 2016 will be covered under the insurance policy.  

As a result of the insurance policy not being renewed, credit losses on the NNG product were estimated by the Company based on analyzing the investment in each unit as of December 31, 2015 and comparing that balance to the average payout for completed units for the past 12 months.  The Company performed an alternative analysis based on a calculation of historical loss experience using insurance recoveries during 2016 and 2015.  Based on both these analyses, the Company estimated that an allowance for credit losses of $125,000 was necessary as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
