RECEIVABLES

Sales of Accounts Receivable - IPL maintains a Receivables Purchase and Sale Agreement (Receivables Agreement) whereby it may sell its customer accounts receivables, unbilled revenues and certain other accounts receivables to a third party through wholly-owned and consolidated special purpose entities. The transfers of receivables meet the criteria for sale accounting established by the transfer of financial assets accounting rules. As of March 31, 2017, IPL sold $221.0 million of receivables to the third party, received $56.0 million in cash proceeds, recorded deferred proceeds of $149.0 million and had $41.8 million of available capacity under its sales of accounts receivable program. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, IPL’s costs incurred related to the sales of accounts receivable program were not material.
