TVA guarantees repayment on certain loans receivable from customers of TVA's distributors in association with the EnergyRight^® Solutions program. TVA sells the loans receivable to a third-party bank and has agreed with the bank to purchase any loan receivable that has been in default for 180 days or more or that TVA has determined is uncollectible. The loans receivable, and the associated obligation to purchase those loans, are shown in Other long-term assets and Other long-term liabilities, respectively, on TVA's consolidated balance sheets. The current portion of the loans receivable and the associated obligation to purchase those loans are shown in Current assets and Current liabilities, respectively, on TVA's consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2012, the carrying amount of the loans receivable, net of discount, was approximately $152 million. The carrying amount of the associated obligation to purchase those loans was approximately $187 million.
