The table provides a schedule of bond data over several semiannual periods. It contains columns for dates, cash interest paid, bond interest expense, premium amortization, unamortized premium, and carrying value.

### Table Details:

- **Semiannual Period-End**: Lists the dates at the end of each semiannual period from 01/01/2019 to 12/31/2023.
- **Cash Interest Paid**: Shows a cash interest payment of $16,250 on 06/30/2019 and again on 12/31/2019.
- **Bond Interest Expense**: This column is currently unfilled.
- **Premium Amortization**: This column is currently unfilled.
- **Unamortized Premium**: Indicates an initial premium amount of $10,666 on 01/01/2019.
- **Carrying Value**: Displays an initial carrying value of $510,666 on 01/01/2019.

This table appears to be tracking the amortization of a bond premium over time, where unamortized premium and carrying value will adjust as interest expense and amortization are calculated.
