CA 16.7
Dear Mr. Dolan:
I hope that the following brief explanation helps you understand why your warrants were not included in
Rhode’s earnings per share calculations.
However, corporations that have outstanding a variety of other securities—convertible bonds,
convertible preference shares, share options, and share warrants—have a complex capital structure.
Because these securities could be converted to ordinary shares they have a potentially “dilutive” effect
on EPS.
In order not to mislead users of financial information, the accounting profession insists that EPS
If we assume that Rhode exercises 30,000 warrants at $30, the company does not simply add 30,000
shares to ordinary shares outstanding; rather, for diluted EPS, Rhode is assumed to purchase and
retire 36,000 [(30,000 X $30) ÷ $25] treasury shares at $25 with the proceeds. Therefore, if you add the
30,000 exercised warrants to the ordinary shares outstanding and then subtract the 36,000 shares
Sincerely,
Ms. Smart Student

Supporters of the IFRS treatment would argue that separating the bond
issue into liability and equity components provides more representationally
faithful information in the financial statements. That is, the resulting
financial statements do a better job of representing the underlying
economics of the transaction. When bond investors buy bonds with a

Typically, shares, share options or other equity instruments are
granted to employees as part of their remuneration package, in
addition to a cash salary and other employment benefits. Usually, it is
part of basic remuneration, e.g. as an incentive to the employees to
remain in the entity’s employ or to reward them for their efforts in
improving the entity’s performance. By granting shares or share
options, in addition to other remuneration, the entity is paying
additional remuneration to obtain additional benefits. Estimating the
GAAP CONCEPTS and APPLICATION
16.1. Similarities
• U.S. GAAP and IFRS follow the same model for recognizing
share-based compensation: The fair value of shares and options
awarded to employees is recognized over the period to which the
employees' services relate.
• Although the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share
Differences
• A significant difference between U.S. GAAP and IFRS is the
accounting for securities with characteristics of debt and equity,
• Related to employee share-purchase plans, these plans under
U.S. GAAP are often considered non-compensatory and therefore
no compensation is recorded. However, certain conditions must
