Notes receivable secured by homesites were originated through a business, substantially all of the assets of which were sold by Bluegreen in 2012.    



The weighted-average interest rate on Bluegreen’s notes receivable was 15.3% at both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable bear interest at fixed rates. 



Credit Quality of Notes Receivable and the Allowance for Loan Losses



Bluegreen holds large amounts of homogeneous VOI notes receivable and assesses uncollectibility based on pools of receivables.  In estimating variable considerations, Bluegreen’s management does not use a single primary indicator of credit quality but instead evaluates its VOI notes receivable based upon a static pool analysis that incorporates the aging of the respective receivables, default trends and prepayment rates by origination year, as well as the FICO scores of the borrowers.



The activity in Bluegreen’s allowance for loan losses (including notes receivable secured by homesites) was as follows (in thousands):
