In Technical Bulletin 79-3 the FASB staff stated its view that subjective acceleration clauses in long-term debt agreements (as opposed to short-term debt being refinanced) would only cause such debt to be classified as a current liability in situations involving recurring losses or liquidity problems where it is considered probable that the clause will be invoked.
In issue 86-5, "Classification of Demand Debt with Long-Term Repayment Schedules," the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) addressed the question of whether clauses in loan agreements with scheduled payments which allow the creditor to demand payment at any time constitute subjective acceleration clauses. In its consensus, the EITF stated that such provisions are not subjective acceleration clauses and that the debt should be classified as a current liability.
This clause reflects a view that acceleration clauses are of dubious enforceability.
Cases suggest, however, that an acceleration clause would be enforced if it provided for an offset for the reasonably anticipated revenues from re-letting.
