In December 2009, Frenchman's Yacht Club Developers, LLC ("Frenchman's"), a Florida limited liability company in which our wholly-owned subsidiary, API, is the sole member, sold its interest in the proposed development known as Frenchman's Yacht Club to an unrelated third party for cash and a purchase money note of $4,208. The amount of cash we received did not meet the criteria in authoritative accounting guidance to record this sale under the full accrual method of profit recognition. As a result, this transaction was accounted for under the cost recovery method. Under the cost recovery method, no profit is recognized until cash payments by the buyer, including principal and interest on the purchase money note due to us exceeds the cost of the property sold. In the Frenchman's transaction, since we sold the property at a loss, in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance we recognized the loss of approximately $3,800 in full. The note receivable was discounted by $1,291 to the fair value for purposes of measuring the loss on this transaction. Additionally, future interest cash receipts is recorded as deferred income, and presented as a reduction to the note receivable until such time that the cumulative cash payments by the buyer exceed AV Homes' book value in the property at the time of sale.
