 Bonus shares
 Share split
 Shares consolidation These will increase only denominator without any change
 Bonus element in rights issue in numerator. (considered in BEPS)
Potential equity shares are dilutive if their conversion results in reduction of BEPS. If they
increase EPS then they should not be considered as dilutive.

Convertible Debentures, Convertible Preference shares and employee stock options –


potential equity shares.

Diluted earnings:
Net profit or loss attributable for the period to the existing share holders

Dividend + distribution tax ( convertible preference shares) previously deducted

Dilutive effect = incremental net profit/incremental equity shares arising out of conversion.

Restatement:
Equity shares or potential equity shares are increased as a result of

 Bonus issue
 Share split
 Consolidation of shares

Basic and diluted EPS should be restated for all the periods presented.
