Long-Term Financing Receivables [Text Block]

Long-Term Financing Receivables

Our long-term financing receivables primarily represent balances related to the aerospace businesses such as long-term trade accounts receivable, leases, and notes receivable. We also have other long-term receivables in our commercial businesses; however, both the individual and aggregate amounts of those other receivables are not significant. The following table summarizes the balance by class of aerospace business related long-term receivables as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:



(dollars in millions)	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Long-term trade accounts receivable	$	294	$	269
Notes and leases receivable	256		258
Total long-term receivables	$	550	$	527

Customer credit ratings range from customers with an extremely strong capacity to meet financial obligations to customers whose uncollateralized receivable is in default. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from

estimates or that consideration of these factors in the future will not result in an increase or decrease to the allowance for credit losses on long-term receivables. Based upon the customer credit ratings, approximately $150 million of our total long-term receivables were considered to bear high credit risk as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

For long-term trade accounts receivable, we evaluate credit risk and collectability individually to determine if an allowance is necessary. Our long-term receivables reflected in the table above, which include reserves of $23 million and $16 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, are individually evaluated for impairment. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we did not have any significant balances that are considered to be delinquent, on non-accrual status, past due 90 days or more, or considered to be impaired.
