5. Consumer Loans Receivable

The Company acquired consumer loans receivable during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 as part of the Palm Harbor transaction. Acquired consumer loans receivable held for investment were acquired at fair value and subsequently are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30. Consumer loans receivable held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market and construction advances are carried at the amount advanced less a valuation allowance. The following table summarizes consumer loans receivable (in thousands):



	April 1, 2017			April 2, 2016
Loans held for investment (acquired on Palm Harbor Acquisition Date)	$	60,513		$	68,951
Loans held for investment (originated after Palm Harbor Acquisition Date)	11,108			6,120
Loans held for sale	18,570			8,765
Construction advances	6,957			6,566
Consumer loans receivable	97,148			90,402

Consumer loans receivable, net	$	95,801		$	89,558

As of the date of the Palm Harbor acquisition, management evaluated consumer loans receivable held for investment by CountryPlace to determine whether there was evidence of deterioration of credit quality and if it was probable that CountryPlace would be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loans' contractual terms. The Company also considered expected prepayments and estimated the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows. The Company determined the excess of the loan pool’s scheduled contractual principal and contractual interest payments over all cash flows expected as of the date of the Palm Harbor transaction as an amount that includes interest that cannot be accreted into interest income (the non-accretable difference). The cash flow expected to be collected in excess of the carrying value of the acquired loans includes interest that is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loans (referred to as accretable yield). Interest income on consumer loans receivable is recognized as net revenue.

Consumer loans receivable held for investment – contractual amount	$	142,391		$	166,793
Purchase discount:
Accretable	(56,686		)	(69,053		)
Non-accretable difference	(25,032		)	(28,536		)

Total acquired consumer loans receivable held for investment, net	$	60,513		$	68,951

Over the life of the acquired loans, the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected by CountryPlace. As of the balance sheet date, the Company evaluates whether the present value of expected cash flows, determined using the effective interest rate, has decreased from the value at acquisition and, if so, recognizes an allowance for loan loss. The present value of any subsequent increase in the loan pool’s actual cash flows expected to be collected is used first to reverse any existing allowance for loan loss. Any remaining increase in cash flows expected to be collected adjusts the amount of accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the loan pool’s remaining life. The weighted averages of assumptions used in the calculation of expected cash flows to be collected are as follows:



	April 1, 2017		April 2, 2016
Prepayment rate	13.8	%	13.0	%
Default rate	1.1	%	1.0	%

Assuming there was a 1% unfavorable variation from the expected level, for each key assumption, the expected cash flows for the life of the portfolio, as of April 1, 2017, would decrease by approximately $1.8 million and $4.8 million for the expected prepayment rate and expected default rate, respectively.

The changes in accretable yield on acquired consumer loans receivable held for investment were as follows (in thousands):

The Company's consumer loans receivable balance consists of fixed-rate, fixed-term and fully-amortizing single-family home loans. These loans are either secured by a manufactured home, excluding the land upon which the home is located (chattel personal property loans), or by a combination of the home and the land upon which the home is located (real property mortgage loans). The real property mortgage loans are primarily for manufactured homes. Combined land and home loans are further disaggregated by the type of loan documentation: those conforming to the requirements of Government-Sponsored Enterprises ("GSEs"), and those that are non-conforming. In most instances, CountryPlace’s loans are secured by a first-lien position and are provided for the consumer purchase of a home. Unsecuritized consumer loans held for investment include chattel personal property loans originated under the Company's chattel lending programs. Accordingly, CountryPlace classifies its loans receivable as follows: chattel loans, conforming mortgages, non-conforming mortgages and other loans.

In measuring credit quality within each segment and class, CountryPlace uses commercially available credit scores (such as FICO®). At the time of each loan’s origination, CountryPlace obtains credit scores from each of the three primary credit bureaus, if available. To evaluate credit quality of individual loans, CountryPlace uses the mid-point of the available credit scores or, if only two scores are available, the Company uses the lower of the two. CountryPlace does not update credit bureau scores after the time of origination.

The following table disaggregates CountryPlace’s gross consumer loans receivable for each class by portfolio segment and credit quality indicator as of the time of origination (in thousands):

Loan contracts secured by collateral that is geographically concentrated could experience higher rates of delinquencies, default and foreclosure losses than loan contracts secured by collateral that is more geographically dispersed. Forty-three percent of the outstanding principal balance of consumer loans receivable portfolio is concentrated in Texas and 12% is concentrated in Florida. No other state had concentrations in excess of 10% of the principal balance of the consumer loan receivable as of April 1, 2017.

Collateral for repossessed loans is acquired through foreclosure or similar proceedings and is recorded at the estimated fair value of the home, less the costs to sell. At repossession, the fair value of the collateral is computed based on the historical recovery rates of previously charged-off loans; the loan is charged off and the loss is charged to the allowance for loan losses. On a monthly basis, the fair value of the collateral is adjusted to the lower of the amount recorded at repossession or the estimated sales price less estimated costs to sell, based on current information. Repossessed homes totaled approximately $1.2 million and $707,000 as of April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016, respectively, and are included in prepaid and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Foreclosure or similar proceedings in progress totaled approximately $694,000 and $340,000 as of April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016, respectively.
