Does PIK interest compound?

For example, if i had a $100 PIK note w 10% interest. Obviously at t0 we’d have interest of $0, at t1 we’d have interest of $10, but how about t2? Would it be $11 (10% * $100 + 10% of $10 that accrued to the principal), or would it just be $10 again? I would assume that as the principal balloons you pay interest on the entire amount, but just wanted to confirm.

Thanks

Yeah, you generate incremental interest in the accrued balance is each period
