..... ings per share calculation. Even though earnings per share data has limitations because of different accounting policies used for determining earnings , a consistently determined denominator enhances the quality of financial reporting. Scope 1. This Standard should be applied by all Companies. However, a Small and Medium Sized Company, as defined in the Notification, may not disclose diluted earnings per share (both including and excluding extraordinary items). 2. In consolidated financial statements, the information required by this Standardshould be presented on the basis of consolidated information. 20 3. In the case of a parent (holding enterprise), users of financial statements are usually concerned with, and need to be informed about, the results of operations of both the enterprise itself as well as of the group as a whole. Accordingly, in the case of such enterprises, this Standard requires the presentation of earnings per share information on the basis of consolidated financial statements as well as individual financial statements of the parent. In consolidated financial statements, such information is presented on the basis of consolidated infor .....

..... ly issuable shares), such as the acquisition of a business or other assets, or shares issuable under a loan contract upon default of payment of principal or interest, if the contract so provides. Presentation 8. An enterprise should present basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of profit and loss for each class of equity shares that has a different right to share in the net profit for the period. An enterprise should present basic and diluted earnings per share with equal prominence for all periods presented. 9. This Standard requires an enterprise to present basic and diluted earnings per share, even if the amounts disclosed are negative (a loss per share). Measurement Basic Earnings Per Share 10. Basic earnings per share should be calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Earnings - Basic 11. For the purpose of calculating basic earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders should be the net profit or loss for the period .....

..... hted average number of shares. 17. In most cases, shares are included in the weighted average number of shares from the date the consideration is receivable, for example: (a) equity shares issued in exchange for cash are included when cash is receivable; (b) equity shares issued as a result of the conversion of a debt instrument to equity shares are included as of the date of conversion; (c) equity shares issued in lieu of interest or principal on other financial instruments are included as of the date interest ceases to accrue; (d) equity shares issued in exchange for the settlement of a liability of the enterprise are included as of the date the settlement becomes effective; (e) equity shares issued as consideration for the acquisition of an asset other than cash are included as of the date on which the acquisition is recognised; and (f) equity shares issued for the rendering of services to the enterprise are included as the services are rendered. In these and other cases, the timing of the inclusion of equity shares is determined by the specific terms and conditions attaching to their issue. Due consideration should be given to the substance of any contra .....

..... uced, without a corresponding change in resources. Examples include: (a) a bonus issue; (b) a bonus element in any other issue, for example a bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders; (c) a share split; and (d) a reverse share split (consolidation of shares). 24. In case of a bonus issue or a share split, equity shares are issued to existing shareholders for no additional consideration. Therefore, the number of equity shares outstanding is increased without an increase in resources. The number of equity shares outstanding before the event is adjusted for the proportionate change in the number of equity shares outstanding as if the event had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period reported. For example, upon a two-for-one bonus issue, the number of shares outstanding prior to the issue is multiplied by a factor of th ree to obtain the new total number of shares, or by a factor of two to obtain the number of additional shares. Illustration III attached to the Standard illustrates the computation of weighted average number of equity shares in case of a bonus issue during the period. 25. The issue of equity shares at the time of exercise or .....

..... d (iii) adjusted for the after-tax amount of any other changes in expenses or income that would result from the conversion of the dilutive potential equity shares. (b) the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is increased by the weighted average number of additional equity shares which would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. 28. For the purpose of this Standard, share application money pending allotment or any advance share application money as at the balance sheet date, which is not statutorily required to be kept separately and is being utilised in the business of the enterprise, is treated in the same manner as dilutive potential equity shares for the purpose of calculation of diluted earnings per share. Earnings - Diluted 29. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the amount of net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders, as calculated in accordance with paragraph 11, should be adjusted by the following, after taking into account any attributable change in tax expense for the period: (a) any dividends on dilutive potent .....

..... ial equity shares. 33. The number of equity shares which would be issued on the conversion of dilutive potential equity shares is determined from the terms of the potential equity shares. The computation assumes the most advantageous conversion rate or exercise price from the standpoint of the holder of the potential equity shares. 34. Equity shares which are issuable upon the satisfaction of certain conditions resulting from contractual arrangements (contingently issuable shares) are considered outstanding and included in the computation of both the basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share from the date when the conditions under a contract are met. If the conditions have not been met, for computing the diluted earnings per share, contingently issuable shares are included as of the beginning of the period (or as of the date of the contingent share agreement, if later). The number of contingently issuable shares included in this case in computing the diluted earnings per share is based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period. Restatement is not permitted if the condit ions are not .....

..... y when, their conversion to equity shares would decrease net profit per share from continuing ordinary operations. 40. An enterprise uses net profit from continuing ordinary activities as the control figure that is used to establish whether potential equity shares are dilutive or anti-dilutive. The net profit from continuing ordinary activities is the net profit from ordinary activities (as defined in AS 5) after deducting preference dividends and any attributable tax thereto and after excluding items relating to discontinued operations 21 . 41. Potential equity shares are anti-dilutive when their conversion to equity shares would increase earnings per share from continuing ordinary activities or decrease loss per share from continuing ordinary activities. The effects of anti-dilutive potential equity shares are ignored in calculating diluted earnings per share. 42. In considering whether potential equity shares are dilutive or anti - dilutive, each issue or series of potential equity shares is considered separately rather than in aggregate. The sequence in which pote ntial equity shares are considered may affect whether or not they are dilutive. Therefore, in order to m .....

..... than bonus issues, share splits and reverse share splits (consolidation of shares) which occur after the balance sheet date when they are of such importance that non- disclosure would affect the ability of the users of the financial statements to make proper evaluations and decisions. Examples of such transactions include: (a) the issue of shares for cash; (b) the issue of shares when the proceeds are used to repay debt or preference shares outstanding at the balance sheet date; (c) the cancellation of equity shares outstanding at the balance sheet date; (d) the conversion or exercise of potential equity shares, outstanding at the balance sheet date, into equity shares; (e) the issue of warrants, options or convertible securities; and (f) the satisfaction of conditions that would result in the issue of contingently issuable shares. 47. Earnings per share amounts are not adjusted for such transactions occurring after the balance sheet date because such transactions do not affect the amount of capital used to produce the net profit or loss for the period. Disclosure 48. In addition to disclosures as required by paragraphs 8, 9 and 44 of this Standard, .....
