Explanation:

Bonds have to be reported at historical cost plus any premiums or minus any discounts. Since the bonds were sold at a premium, the market interest must have been lower than the bonds' coupon. But market interest rates change over time, and now they are higher than the coupon that the bonds pay. This will result in a lower market price, and if the company repurchases them, the transaction will result in a gain since the bonds' carrying value is higher than the price paid to repurchase them.
