Revenue Recognition

Resort revenues are recognized as services are performed or products are delivered with the exception of initiation fee revenue, which is recognized over the average life of the memberships. Resort revenues also include rental revenues for condominium units owned by third parties participating in the Rental Pool. If these rental units were owned by the Company, normal costs associated with ownership such as depreciation, real estate taxes, unit maintenance and other costs would have been incurred.

Contract Balances

Timing differences among revenue recognition may result in contract assets or liabilities. Contract liabilities consists of guest deposits and deferred income and totaled approximately $1,902,000 and $2,807,000 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Contract assets consist of escrowed cash relating to rental pool owner deposits for the maintenance reserve fund and long-term security deposits and totaled approximately $983,000 and $1,124,000 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Company’s net trade accounts receivables were $114,000 and $1,130,000 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Trade accounts receivable are stated in the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to the allowance of doubtful accounts based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance of doubtful accounts and a credit to trade accounts receivable. Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts have not been material to the consolidated financial statements.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under the new revenue recognition standard. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of our revenue transactional and the contracts performance obligation is generally satisfied at the time of the transaction.
