The Company offers wholesale financing to the Company’s independent dealers. Wholesale loans to dealers are generally secured by financed inventory or property and are originated in the U.S. and Canada. Wholesale finance receivables are related primarily to motorcycles and related parts and accessories sales. The Company provides retail financial services to customers of the Company’s independent dealers in the U.S. and Canada. The origination of retail loans is a separate and distinct transaction between the Company and the retail customer, unrelated to the Company’s sale of product to its dealers. Retail finance receivables consist of secured promissory notes and secured installment contracts and are primarily related to sales of motorcycles to the dealers’ customers. The Company holds either titles or liens on titles to vehicles financed by promissory notes and installment sales contracts. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately 11% and 12% of gross outstanding retail finance receivables were originated in Texas, respectively; there were no other states that accounted for more than 10% of gross outstanding retail finance receivables. Unused lines of credit extended to the Company's wholesale finance customers totaled $1.32 billion and $1.27 billion at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Approved but unfunded retail finance loans totaled $177.9 million and $169.6 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Wholesale finance receivables are generally contractually due within one year. On December 31, 2016, contractual maturities of finance receivables were as follows (in thousands):

Finance receivables are considered impaired when management determines it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loan agreement. As retail finance receivables are collectively and not individually reviewed for impairment, this portfolio does not have specifically impaired finance receivables. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no wholesale finance receivables that were on non-accrual status or individually deemed to be impaired under ASC Topic 310, “Receivables.” An analysis of the aging of past due finance receivables at December 31 was as follows (in thousands):

The recorded investment of retail and wholesale finance receivables, excluding non-accrual status finance receivables, that were contractually past due 90 days or more at December 31 for the past five years was as follows (in thousands):

A significant part of managing the Company's finance receivable portfolios includes the assessment of credit risk associated with each borrower. As the credit risk varies between the retail and wholesale portfolios, the Company utilizes different credit risk indicators for each portfolio. The Company manages retail credit risk through its credit approval policy and ongoing collection efforts. The Company uses FICO scores, a standard credit rating measurement, to differentiate the expected default rates of retail credit applicants, enabling the Company to better evaluate credit applicants for approval and to tailor pricing according to this assessment. Retail loans with a FICO score of 640 or above at origination are considered prime, and loans with a FICO score below 640 are considered sub-prime. These credit quality indicators are determined at the time of loan origination and are not updated subsequent to the loan origination date. The recorded investment of retail finance receivables, by credit quality indicator, at December 31 was as follows (in thousands):
|  | 2016 |  | 2015
Prime |  | $ | 4,768,420 |  |  | $ | 4,777,448 |
Sub-prime |  | 1,213,791 |  |  | 1,214,023 |
Total |  | $ | 5,982,211 |  |  | $ | 5,991,471 |
The Company's credit risk on the wholesale portfolio is different from that of the retail portfolio. Whereas the retail portfolio represents a relatively homogeneous pool of retail finance receivables that exhibit more consistent loss patterns, the wholesale portfolio exposures are less consistent. The Company utilizes an internal credit risk rating system to manage credit risk exposure consistently across wholesale borrowers and evaluates credit risk factors for each borrower. The Company uses the following internal credit quality indicators, based on an internal risk rating system, listed from highest level of risk to lowest level of risk, for the wholesale portfolio: Doubtful, Substandard, Special Mention, Medium Risk and Low Risk. Based upon management’s review, the dealers classified in the Doubtful category are the dealers with the greatest likelihood of being charged-off, while the dealers classified as Low Risk are least likely to be charged-off. The internal rating system considers factors such as the specific borrower's ability to repay and the estimated value of any collateral. Dealer risk rating classifications are reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis. The recorded investment of wholesale finance receivables, by internal credit quality indicator, at December 31 was as follows (in thousands):
|  | 2016 |  | 2015
Doubtful |  | $ | 1,333 |  |  | $ | 5,169 |
Substandard |  | 1,773 |  |  | 21,774 |
Special Mention |  | 30,152 |  |  | 6,271 |
Medium Risk |  | 14,620 |  |  | 11,494 |
Low Risk |  | 978,712 |  |  | 979,152 |
Total |  | $ | 1,026,590 |  |  | $ | 1,023,860 |
