bond issue in the face amount of $8 million. Interest payment dates of the bond issue are June 30 and

bond issue is $54,000. On June 30, 2020, the holders of $2.40 million of the face value bonds exercised

the conversion privilege. The market price of the bonds on that date was $1,240 per bond and the

market price of the common shares was $37. The total unamortized bond discount at the date of

conversion was $519,000.
