where

A is the taxpayer's transition amount in respect of the disposition, and

B is

      (a) where the taxpayer has a gain from the disposition of the obligation, the part, if any, of the gain that is reasonably attributable to a material increase in the probability, or perceived probability, that the debtor will make all payments as required by the obligation, and

      (b) where the taxpayer has a loss from the disposition of the obligation, the negative amount that the taxpayer claims not exceeding in magnitude the part, if any, of the loss that is reasonably attributable to a default by the debtor or a material decrease in the probability, or perceived probability, that the debtor will make all payments as required by the obligation.

Residual portion of gain or loss

(8) For the purpose of subsection (4), where a taxpayer has a gain or loss from the disposition of a specified debt obligation, the residual portion of the gain or loss is the part of the gain or loss that is not included in determining the amount B in the formula in subsection (7) in respect of the disposition.
