Another customer, ABC Drilling, signed a 4.75%, six-month note dated May 1 in place of its $50,000 past-due accounts receivable. On May 31, Seerden’s year-end, accrued interest was recorded on the notes receivable. John Daley honoured his note on the maturity date. ABC Drilling dishonoured its note on the maturity date. On November 15, Seerden Servicing wrote off ABC Drilling’s account as it was determined to be uncollectible.
