Aubrey Inc. issued $6.8 million of 9-year, 9 percent, convertible bonds on June 1, 2011, at 98 plus accrued interest. The bonds were dated 1st April, 2011, with interest payable April 1 and 1st October. Bond discount is amortized semi-annually on a straight-line basis. Bonds without conversion privileges would have sold at 97 plus accrued interest.

On 1st April, 2012, $1.70 million of these bonds were converted into 42,500 common shares. Accrued interest was paid in cash at time of conversion but only to the bondholders whose bonds were being converted. Suppose that the company follows IFRS.

Instructions
