during the year. Potential ordinary shares include preference shares convertible into ordinary shares, share warrants and options, shares that may be issued to employees as part of their remu – nerati on or as part of other share purchase plans, and contingently issuabl e shares, say on the pur – chase of an enterprise. 7.2 When calcul ating diluted earnings per share, there will be adjustments to both the "earn ings" and to the "per share" part of the statistic. If the potential ordinary share has given rise to any income or expense in the period , then its effec t on profit has to be reversed, as the assumption is that it has now been con verted into ordinary shares that would not have given rise to that income or ex pense. 7.3 Thu s the net profit attri butable to ordi nary shareholders is adj usted for the after-tax effects of (c) Other changes in income or expense. For example, the changes in profit in points (a) and (b) above may mean that employees may recei ve an increase or decre ase in their profits share due to an employee profit-sharing plan. This must be taken into account in calculat– ing the net profits used in the diluted earnings per share calculation . 7.4 Dilutive potential shares are deemed to be converted at the beginning of the period or the date of issue, if a new potential share (dilutive) was issued during the period. 7.5 The conversion rate or exercise price sho uld reflect the most favorable rate or price to the potenti al ordinary shareholder. 7.6 Potenti al ordinary shares that have lapsed or been cancelled are included for the time they were outstanding. Potential ord inary shares that wer e converted during the peri od are included in (a) Diluted earnings per share up to the date of con version (b) The weight ed-average number or ordinary shares after the date of conve rsion. Thi s latt er figur e will be then used in calculating both basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. 7.8 Cont ingentl y issuable ordi nary shares are included in the calcul ation of diluted earnings per share from the beginn ing of the per iod or the date of the contingency agreement (if later) if the conditions have been me t. In the basic earnings per share calculation, these shares are included from the date the conditions are met, not the beginn ing of the period/d ate for contingency agreement. 7.9 Potenti al ordinary shares issued by a subs idiary, associate, or joint venture of the enterprise can have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share of the reporting enterprise and mu st be refle cted in the calcul ation. For example, a subsidiary may have share wa rra nts that can be exercised to pur– chase shares in the subsidiary . Exerci se of the share warrants may change the minority interest in the subsidiary and hence the profit attributable to the minority interest. Thu s the consolidated profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders will change with the result ant effec t on the diluted earn – ings per share calculation. (a) Preferenc e di vidends on convert ible preference shares (b) Interest on capital instrument s such as convertible bonds Facts Entity A has made a net profit attributable to ordinary shareholder s of $2 million for the year to Decem– ber3l, 20X I. Ten million ordinary shares were outstanding for the entire year. Since January 20XO there has been $800,000 of 5% convertible loan stock in issue. The terms of conversion are for every $100 nominal value of stock.
