The memo analyzes two alternatives for accounting treatment of notes receivable from the CEO's cousins. Alternative 1 treats the notes as separate assets with related party disclosures. Alternative 2 treats the notes as a reduction of equity, citing codification 505-10-45-2. The memo recommends Alternative 2, as the notes were received as contributions to equity without stated repayment terms. Disclosure of the nature and amounts of the transactions is still required.
