I have $100 of Unsecured Notes that pay interest semi-annually at 10% in 2Q & 4Q
GAAP 1Q Interest Expense = $2.50 Cash Interest Expense = $0
GAAP accrues the expense on a straight-line basis throughout the year, whether or not it has actually been paid in cash, in this case $2.50/qtr. Obviously, the company only incurs a cash expense when they wire their interest payment to the lender.
