Notes Receivable	3. Notes Receivable In connection with the development of Gaylord National, Prince George’s County, Maryland (“the County”) issued a bond with a face value of $95 million (“Series A Bond”) and an additional bond with a face value of $50 million (“Series B Bond”), which were delivered to the Company upon substantial completion and opening of Gaylord National in 2008. The interest rate on the Series A Bond and Series B Bond is 8.0% and 10.0%, respectively. The maturity dates of the Series A Bond and the Series B Bond are July 1, 2034 and September 1, 2037, respectively. Upon receipt in 2008, the Company calculated the present value of the future debt service payments from the Series A Bond and Series B Bond based on their effective interest rates of 8.04% and 11.42%, respectively, and recorded the notes receivable at their discounted values of $93.8 million and $38.3 million, respectively. The Company records the amortization of discount on these notes receivable as interest income over the terms of the notes. The Company is currently holding the bonds, which have aggregate carrying values and approximate fair values of $61.8 million and $67.6 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, net of a credit loss reserve of $38.0 million at each period. The Company earns interest income on the debt service on the notes receivable, which are payable from tax increments, hotel taxes and special hotel rental taxes generated from the development through the maturity date. The Company’s estimate of credit loss reserves is sensitive to significant assumptions, which include the projections of hotel taxes (which are based on expected hotel revenues) and property taxes, both of which are affected by expectations about future market and economic conditions, particularly those in the Washington D.C. market. These assumptions are based on Level 3 inputs. Further, such assumptions are judgmental as the bonds and related projected cash flows continue for an extended period of time through 2037. The Company has the intent and ability to hold the Series A Bond and Series B Bond to maturity and had at inception expected to receive all debt service payments due. As a result of reduced long-range tax revenue projections over the remaining life of the Series B Bond, in 2017, the Company no longer believed it would receive all debt service payments due under the note, and the Company considered the Series B Bond to be other-than-temporarily impaired (“OTTI”). The amount of the OTTI related to changing market conditions, or the increase in the discount rate, of $6.5 million was recorded as an increase to other comprehensive loss in 2017 and is amortized as an adjustment to the carrying value of the Series B Bond in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The discount rate was determined based on the then-current market interest rates of notes receivable with comparable market ratings and the then-current expectations about the timing of debt service payments under the note. The Company performs a quarterly assessment of credit losses, which considers the estimate of projected tax revenues that will service the bonds over its remaining term. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Series B Bond is fully reserved. The Series A Bond is of higher priority than other tranches which fall between the Company’s two issuances. During 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded interest income of $4.9 million, $5.3 million and $5.5 million, respectively, on these bonds. The Company received payments of $11.0 million, $9.1 million and $6.4 million during 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, relating to these notes receivable, which include principal and interest payments. At each of December 31, 2023 and 2022, before consideration of the credit loss reserve, the Company had accrued interest receivable related to these bonds of $41.0 million.
