Note 1. Nature of Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Certificates of deposit: Certificates of deposit earn interest at rates from 1.21% to 1.25% and mature in July 2018 and March 2019. Board designated funds: Designated funds consist of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposits and assessments received for specific projects or purposes. These funds are designated for specific capital expenditures and payments to resigned members. The funds are provided by initiation fees, member assess- ments, proceeds from the sale of property and equipment and other capital sources of funds including lines of credit and long-term debt. Member receivables: Member receivables are carried at original billing amounts. Management evaluates member receivables on a monthly basis. An allowance for doubtful receivables is recorded to the extent that outstanding receivable balances exceed a member’s certificate redemption value. A member receivable is considered past due 30 days after the due date. Interest is charged on member re- ceivables that are outstanding for more than 30 days at a rate of 1.5% per month. After 45 days, the Associa- tion will issue a certified letter giving a 45-day notice of the intent to lien the property of the member in the event the full payment is not received. A member with two 45-day letters received in a 12-month period will have the annual dues, fees and assessments accelerated and payment will be due in full. In addition the Board of Governors may suspend charging privileges as deemed necessary. After 60 days, the association levies a service charge of $100 per day, to a maximum of $1,000, until payment is received in full. The mem- ber and all persons deriving privileges from such member’s membership will be automatically suspended from all privileges and access to the Recreational Facilities. All dues, fees and assessments for the current fiscal year will be accelerated and will be required to be paid in full prior to reinstatement. In the event of sus- pension, a reinstatement fee of $500 may be imposed. Foreclosure proceedings will commence 45 days from the date of lien. Please see the Frenchman’s Creek Credit Policy for complete details.
