Accounting problem?

Posted at: 2014-12-05 
With convertible bonds outstanding you have a complex capital structure and you have to provide primary and fully-diluted earnings per share. In addition EPS should be presented in detail showing the breakdown of the extraordinary items. Fully diluted EPS is based on the assumption that the bonds have been converted and more common shares are outstanding. But if fully diluted EPS is the same or higher than primary, you do not report it because it is anti-dilutive.
