3. Reporting the Results of Operations When a company�s income-related activities include events not part of its normal continuing operations, it must disclose this information. Reporting this information separately provides users with more information about what to expect in the future. Unusual items are reported in the order of discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and then the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Let�s look at an income statement with continuing operations, discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and changes in accounting principles. When a company�s income-related activities include events not part of its normal continuing operations, it must disclose this information. Reporting this information separately provides users with more information about what to expect in the future. Unusual items are reported in the order of discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and then the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Let�s look at an income statement with continuing operations, discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and changes in accounting principles.

4. Part I Income from continuing operations is the net effect of revenues earned and expenses incurred from recurring items in the normal course of business. Part II The income tax expense subtracted from revenues is only the tax expense for the recurring items. The unusual items, such as discontinued operations and extraordinary items, are reported net of taxes. Let�s look in more detail at discontinued operations and extraordinary items.

Part II The income tax expense subtracted from revenues is only the tax expense for the recurring items. The unusual items, such as discontinued operations and extraordinary items, are reported net of taxes. Let�s look in more detail at discontinued operations and extraordinary items.

5. Discontinued Operations When a company has a discontinued operation, it must report two items: the income or loss from operating a segment that has been discontinued, and the gain or loss on the sale of the segment. Let�s look at what qualifies as a segment. When a company has a discontinued operation, it must report two items: the income or loss from operating a segment that has been discontinued, and the gain or loss on the sale of the segment. Let�s look at what qualifies as a segment.

6. Discontinued Operations A business segment is a separate line of a business activity or a separate and distinct category of customers. Let�s take a closer look.A business segment is a separate line of a business activity or a separate and distinct category of customers. Let�s take a closer look.

7. Discontinued Operations During 2007, Matrix Incorporated sold a segment of their company. The segment had a net loss from operations of $150,000 and a loss on the sale of assets of $100,000. Matrix reported income from continuing operations of $1,750,000, and all items are taxed at 30%. How will Matrix report the discontinued operation on their financial statements?

Matrix reported income from continuing operations of $1,750,000, and all items are taxed at 30%. How will Matrix report the discontinued operation on their financial statements?

8. Discontinued Operations First, determine the net loss on operations and the net loss on the sale of assets for Matrix. Remember that discontinued operations are reported net of taxes, so reduce the original losses by the amount of the tax benefits Matrix will receive because of the losses. Let�s see how Matrix will report this on their income statement.First, determine the net loss on operations and the net loss on the sale of assets for Matrix.

15. Earnings Per Share (EPS) Earnings per share is equal to net income divided by the average number of common shares outstanding. The numerator of the equation is sometimes referred to as income available to common shareholders. Earnings per share is one of the most widely quoted financial ratios calculated. It is a measure of the company�s ability to produce income for each common share outstanding. Investors track this ratio carefully. Let�s calculate earnings per share for Matrix. Earnings per share is equal to net income divided by the average number of common shares outstanding. The numerator of the equation is sometimes referred to as income available to common shareholders.

16. Earnings Per Share (EPS) Review the information for Matrix Incorporated. It is based on the work done with discontinued operations and extraordinary items on the previous slides. Assume that Matrix has weighted average shares outstanding of 156,250. Let�s look at how earnings per share is reported on the income statement.Review the information for Matrix Incorporated.

20. Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share Convertible preferred stock is considered a potentially dilutive security because if the preferred shares are converted into common shares, earnings per share may go down. Dilutive earning per share reflects the impact of assuming the convertible preferred stock is converted into common shares.Convertible preferred stock is considered a potentially dilutive security because if the preferred shares are converted into common shares, earnings per share may go down. Dilutive earning per share reflects the impact of assuming the convertible preferred stock is converted into common shares.

21. Price-earnings Ratio (P/E) The Price-Earnings Ratio is used to evaluate the reasonableness of a company�s stock price. It is calculated as current stock price divided by earnings per share.

23. Accounting for Cash Dividends Stockholders receive a return on their investment in two ways: increases in the market value of the stock, and cash dividends. To pay a cash dividend, a corporation must have two things: (1) Sufficient retained earnings to absorb the dividend without creating a deficit, and(2) Enough cash to pay the dividend Dividends are not legally required but rather are declared at the discretion of the Board of Directors. When the dividends are declared, a liability is created. There are four important dates to remember when discussing dividends: (1) The date of declaration (2) The date of record (3) The ex-dividend date, and (4) The date of payment Let�s look at an example.Stockholders receive a return on their investment in two ways: increases in the market value of the stock, and cash dividends.

29. Accounting for Stock Dividends Sometimes corporations will distribute additional shares of stock as a dividend. Reasons for doing this include: keeping the market price affordable by increasing the number of shares outstanding, and providing evidence of management�s confidence in the company.

30. Summary of Effects of Stock Dividends and Stock Splits A stock dividend can be classified as small or large. A small stock dividend is a distribution of stock that is less than or equal to 25% of the outstanding shares. A large stock dividend is a distribution of stock that is greater than 25% of the outstanding shares. Stock splits are the distribution of additional shares of stock to stockholders according to their percent ownership. When a stock split occurs, the corporation calls in the outstanding shares and issues new shares of stock. In the process of a stock split, the par value of the stock changes. Take a moment to review the impact of a small stock dividend, a large stock dividend, and a stock split on the financial statements. A stock dividend can be classified as small or large.

37. Comprehensive Income There are three ways that a company�s financial position can change: issuing new stock, reporting net income or net loss, and paying dividends. Generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, excludes some unrealized gains and losses from income. An example of an unrealized gain or loss is the gain or loss that results from reporting available for sale securities at market value. Comprehensive income is a way to determine the whole impact of items not included on the income statement. Let�s look at this in more detail on the next slide.
