Operations
A significant segment of a business that has been
discontinued.
A segment is a unit that is clearly
distinguishable physically,
operationally, and for financial
reporting purposes.
It represents either a separate,
(1) major line of business, or
(2) line of customers.
Income from discontinued operations is segregated
from income from continuing operations to assist
financial statement users in assessing future cash
flows of the company.

operations (from 1/1 to measurement date)

extinguishment of a company’s
own debt (even if frequent).
• does not include losses from
strikes (even if infrequent).
Cumulative Effect of a Change
in Accounting Principle
• Accounting principle changes may be required by
FASB or may be made at management’s
discretion.
• The cumulative effect—the difference between
the revenue/expense under the old and the
revenue/expense under the new method up to
the beginning of the year of the change. It is
reported net of the tax effect.
• Use the new method for the current year.
Cumulative Effect of a Change
in Accounting Principle
The cumulative effect may be reflected either of two
ways:
(1) Ordinarily, in the income statement as
“Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting
Principle”
(2) In special cases, in the opening balance of
retained earnings, with restatement of prior-
years’ statements presented on a
comparative basis (on Stmt. of RE)
(a)changing from LIFO to FIFO
(b)changing from one type of long-term
contracting principle to another
(c) changing from an unacceptable
accounting principle to a GAAP
(correction of an error)
Changes in estimates
• Estimates are made using the BEST
available information at the statement
date.
• Changes in estimates should be reflected
in the current period (date of the revision)
and in future periods, if any, that are
affected.
• No “cumulative effect”
of the change
Earnings per share (EPS)
• Earnings available to common shareholders divided
by average number of common shares outstanding
• If firm has “complex” capital structure, it will report
basic and diluted EPS
• EPS ( both basic EPS and diluted EPS) must be
shown for each of the following (see Exhibit 3-4):
• Income from continuing operations
• Discontinued segment income/loss
• Extraordinary income/loss
• Cumulative effect of change of
accounting principle
• Net Income
Earnings per share
• Basic Earnings per share =
Net Income
number of average shares of
common stock outstanding
• Diluted Earnings per share =
Net Income
number of average shares of common stock o/s plus
number of dilutable shares
(dilutable shares are shares from future
conversion of convertible bonds and shares
from future exercise of stock options)
Comprehensive Income
• Beginning in 1998, companies required
to report COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
• Comprehensive income includes ALL
changes in stockholders’equity during a
period except those resulting from
investments by owners and distributions
to owners
• Does not include:
Dividends to stockholders
Issuance of stock
Treasury stock transactions
Comprehensive Income
Net Income (from Income
Statement)
+/- Foreign currency translation
adjustments
+/- Unrealized gains/losses on
available-for-sale securities
+/- Additional pension liabilities
+/- Changes in fair market value of
cash flow hedges
= Comprehensive Income/Loss
Comprehensive Income
• Comprehensive Income may be
reported in one of three ways:
–on the face of the income statement
–in a separate statement of
comprehensive income
–in a statement of stockholders’ equity
