Under ASC 860, a sponsor seeks 'sale' treatment for a transfer of receivables to an SPE.

Which of the following conditions, if present, would most likely cause the transfer to be recharacterized as a 'secured financing' rather than a sale?

  1. The sponsor maintains an obligation to repurchase specific loans at a fixed price.
  2. The sponsor retains the subordinate 5% loss interest in the collateral pool.
  3. The SPE is not consolidated on the sponsor's balance sheet under VIE rules.
  4. The sponsor continues to service the transferred receivables for a market-rate servicing fee.
