On January 1, 2024, Essence Communications issued $810,000 of its 10-year, 8% bonds for $709,056. The bonds were priced to yield 10%. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Essence Communications records interest at the effective rate and elected the option to report these bonds at their fair value.
