 About your existing records
Conversion is easy.  The software can
     •  Calculate premium and discount amortization to date 
        or
     •  Preserve existing recognition and general ledger balances

To preserve your existing balances, substitute the following Excel worksheet values:
     •  Column F: Price
        Set Price to either
               Par + current Premium balance or
               Par - current Discount balance
     •  Column C: Begin Date (normally the settlement or acquisition date)
        Set all Begin dates to the 1st of your effective conversion month.
     •  The software will:
         - Establish premium or discount classification
         - Preserve your deferral balances
         - Amortize deferral balances over the remainder of the term

Tip:  Following conversion, the same logic can be employed in the event of a par paydown, partial sale, assignment or other change.
