Thus when the consolidated entity is viewed as a single company, all amounts associated with intercompany indebtedness must be eliminated, including investment in bonds, the bonds payable any unamortized discount or premium, the interest income or expenses on the bonds and any accrued interest receivable or payable.

Retirement of bonds: when a constrictive retirement occurs, the consolidated income statement for the period reports a gain or loss on retirement, but not reported in consolidated balance sheet. If the company purchases the bond of an affiliate from an unrelated party at a price equal to the liability reported, the elimination entries required to be prepared in consolidated financial statement.
