Debt premiums (discounts) represent the excess (deficiency) of the fair value of debt over (under) the principal value of debt assumed in various acquisitions and are amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt in a manner that approximates the effective interest method.
  • Debt premiums (discounts) consist of the following:
