1-23 (c) The amount of an interest payment treated as principal
1-24 under Subsection (a) or the amount of a discount treated as
2-1 additional revenue under Subsection (b) shall be determined at the
2-2 end of a period using an interest method that produces a periodic
2-3 interest revenue or expenditure, including amortization, that
2-4 represents a level effective interest rate on the sum of the
2-5 maturity value of the fixed-income security and its unamortized
2-6 premium or discount at the beginning of the period. The difference
2-7 between the amount computed and the stated interest revenue on the
2-8 outstanding amount of the fixed-income security is the amount of
2-9 the periodic amortization.

2-15 corporate obligation with a specified maturity date, interest rate,
2-16 and interest payment dates.
2-17 (3) "Stated interest revenue" means the face value or

2-27 Session, 1995, including S.B. No. 1, regardless of the relative
3-1 dates of enactment.
3-2 SECTION 5. The importance of this legislation and the
3-3 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
3-4 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
3-5 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
3-6 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
