Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement
On May 29, 2020 the Company entered into an agreement (the “A/R Sales Agreement”) to sell short-term receivables from certain customer trade accounts to an unaffiliated financial institution. The A/R Sales Agreement has a 364 day term, which the Company intends to renew each year.
As part of the A/R Sales Agreement, the Company continuously sells designated pools of receivables as they are originated by it and certain U.S. subsidiaries to a separate bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary. The assets of the special purpose subsidiary would be first available to satisfy the creditor claims of the unaffiliated financial institution. The Company controls and therefore consolidates the special purpose subsidiary in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
At the inception of the A/R Sales Agreement, the special purpose subsidiary transferred ownership and control of approximately $500,000 in receivables that met certain qualifying conditions to the unaffiliated financial institution in exchange for cash. The Company accounts for transactions with the unaffiliated financial institution as sales of financial assets, with the associated receivables derecognized from the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. The remaining receivables held by the special purpose subsidiary were pledged to secure the collectability of the sold receivables. The amount of receivables pledged as collateral as of September 30, 2020 is approximately $1,100,000.
The Company continues to be involved with the receivables transferred by the special purpose subsidiary to the unaffiliated financial institution by providing collection services. As cash is collected on sold receivables, the special purpose subsidiary continuously transfers ownership and control of new qualifying receivables to the unaffiliated financial institution so that the total principal amount outstanding of receivables sold is approximately $500,000 at any point in time (which is the maximum amount allowed under the agreement). The future amount of receivables outstanding as sold could decrease, based on the level of activity and other factors.
The following table summarizes the activity and amounts outstanding under the A/R Sales Agreement as of period end:
September 30, 2020
Receivables sold to the financial institution and derecognized since inception$2,181,746 
Cash collected on sold receivables since inception$1,681,732 
Total principal amount outstanding of receivables sold at period end$500,014 
Cash activity related to the A/R Sales Agreement is presented in cash from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The special purpose subsidiary incurs fees due to the unaffiliated financial institution related to the accounts receivable sales transactions. Those fees, which are immaterial, are recorded within other non-operating (income) expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The special purpose subsidiary has a recourse obligation to repurchase from the unaffiliated financial institution any previously sold receivables that are not collected due to the occurrence of certain events, including credit quality deterioration and customer sales returns. The reserve recognized for this recourse
obligation as of September 30, 2020 is not material. The servicing liability related to the Company's collection services also is not material, given the high quality of the customers underlying the receivables and the anticipated short collection period.
