- Definition

The investor's estimate, at acquisition, of the amount of interest expected to be collected. This would be the investor's best estimate of cash flows, including the effect of prepayments if considered, that is used in determining the acquisition price, and, in a business combination, the investor's estimate of fair value for purposes of acquisition price allocation. This relates to loans not accounted for as debt securities, with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination that were acquired by completion of a transfer for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the investor will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable.
