Morgan Corporation had two issues of securities outstanding: common stock and an 8% convertible bond issue in the face amount of $16,000,000. Interest payment dates of the bond issue are June 30th and December 31st.

On June 30, 2010, the holders of $2,400,000 face value bonds exercised the conversion privilege.
