On January 1, 2020, when the fair value of its common shares was $78 per share, Blossom Corp. issued $12 million of 8% convertible debentures due in 20 years. The conversion option allowed the holder of each $1,000 bond to convert the bond into 5common shares. The debentures were issued for $12.6 million. The bond payments present value at the time of issuance was $10.0million and the corporation believes the difference between the present value and the amount paid is attributable to the conversion feature. On January 1, 2021, the corporations common shares were split 3 for 1, and the conversion rate for the bonds was adjusted accordingly. On January 1, 2022, when the fair value of the corporations common shares was $121 per share, holders of 40% of the convertible debentures exercised their conversion option. Blossom Corp. applies ASPE, and uses the straight-line method for amortizing any bond discounts or premiums.
