Fully and compulsorily convertible debentures retain debt character until conversion, so pre-conversion interest cannot be benchmarked at nil by recharacterising them as equity.

For receivables from associated enterprises, notional interest was upheld in principle, but the adjustment had to be recomputed after allowing a 90-day credit period.
