    Buy $100 face value of bonds for $103.862 (see piccy above).

    Receive 9 quarterly payments of $1.375, a gain of $12.375

    Receive $100 back on redemption, a loss of $3.862

    Net gain over two and bit years = $8.51

    Which is approximately 4.0% on your outlay.

    Ah thank you my white furred friend. 'Well spotted' (pun intended) ;-)

    So that 4% yield figure quoted, actually represents a 'wash up' calculation with all bond payments to maturity taken into account. I see now.
