| FINANCING RECEIVABLES | NOTE E – FINANCING RECEIVABLES
We lease certain hardware devices to a small number of hardware distributors under sales-type leases expiring in various years through 2018. These receivables typically have terms ranging from two to four years and bear interest at 2%. Because the devices are not functional on our network without an active service agreement with us, we can de-activate devices for non-payment, and have therefore established a history of successfully collecting amounts due under the original payment terms without making concessions to customers. In addition, our long-standing relationship with these high credit quality customers supports our assertion that revenues are fixed and determinable and probable of collection. Financing receivables also include leases acquired in a recent business combination. The acquired leases are also with high credit quality customers and have terms ranging from 4 to 5 years and bear interest at 7% to 8%. See Note C.
The components of lease receivables were as follows (in thousands):
Future minimum lease payments to be received subsequent to December 31, 2013 are as follows (in thousands):
Our financing receivables are comprised of a single portfolio segment because of the small number of customers and the similar nature of the sales-type leasing arrangements. We evaluate the credit quality of financing receivables based on a combination of factors, including, but not limited to, customer collection experience, economic conditions, the customer’s financial condition and known risk characteristics impacting the respective end users of our customers. In addition to specific account identification, we utilize historical collection experience from our population of similar customers to establish any allowance for credit losses. Financing receivables are placed in non-accrual status after 60 days of nonpayment and written off only after we have exhausted all collection efforts. We have been successful collecting financing receivables and consider the credit quality of such arrangements to be good, especially as the underlying service is required for functionality and can be deactivated for non-payment. We have not experienced any credit losses for any period in the three years ended December 31, 2013.
Customer payments are considered past due if a scheduled payment is not received within contractually agreed upon terms. As of December 31, 2013, there were no financing receivables past due more than 30 days. |
