The Complete Income Statement
The Economic Consequences Associated with Income
Measurement and Disclosure
Income is the most common measure of a company’s performance.
A measure of a change in value
As compared to equity, which measures the level of value (or
wealth)
It is NOT net cash flow
It is a measure of performance
There are different income measures which relate to different
objectives (GAAP provides for various measures to be presented)
The Measurement of Income: Different Measures for
Different Objectives
According to Statement of Financial Accounting
Concepts No. 1 Objectives of financial reporting
are (paraphrased) to provide information that is:
Useful to those making investment and credit
decisions
Helpful in assessing amounts, timing
and uncertainty of future cash flows

Comprehensive income - changes in net assets from all non-
owner sources; is broken into two categories:
Net Income: consisting of revenues, expenses, gains and
losses (next slide)

Two Different Concepts of Income:
Matching and Fair Market Value
The Matching Process:
Revenues - Expenses = Net Income
Fair Market Value approach:
FMV Net Assets (end) - FMV Net Assets
(beginning) = Net Income

Presentation
Note the subtotals:
Gross profit is presented when a company uses a multi-step
income statement; more relevant for companies that are primarily
retail or manufacturing (less relevant for service industries).
Income from operations indicates income from primary, on-
going activity (usual and frequent).
Income from continuing operations (IFCO) also includes
peripheral activity like interest income, as well as potentially
nonrecurring activity like restructuring Charges (unusual or
infrequent).
Net income also includes “special” items that are presented
separately because they are significant activities that are usually
nonrecurring.
(1) Operating Revenues and Expenses: Usual and
Frequent
Looking at Figure 13-4 A Complete Income
Statement
Asset and liability inflows and outflows related
to the delivery of goods or services provided by
a company and Operating Revenues and
Expenses
They are usual and frequent and therefore are
likely to represent ongoing activity
(2) Other Revenues and Expenses: Unusual or
Infrequent
Related to secondary or auxiliary activities:
Interest Income – from financing
Interest Expense – from financing
Dividend Income
Gains and Losses from trading securities
Gains and Losses from sale of investments and long-lived assets
Some of these are recurring, but none are core
activities
(3) Disposal of a Business Segment
Discontinued operations (DO) relate to the disposal of a
segment of a company. Because the disposal means that the
segment activity will be discontinued, separate disclosures are
required so that investors could distinguish between ongoing
activity and nonrecurring activity.
A segment is defined as an entire line of business or a
separately identifiable segment. For example, General Motors
would need to discontinue Chevrolet (not just a manufacturing
plant).
Financial statement presentation includes any operating
income or loss to the measurement date (the date the board of
directors declares intention to dispose of the segment), as well
as any gain or loss on the disposal of the assets.
(4) Extraordinary Items: Unusual and Infrequent
Extraordinary items (EI) are defined as those
activities that are material in amount, unusual in
nature, and infrequent in occurrence.
To determine, consider the natural, political, and
economic environment of the firm (i.e. the same
type of event may be extraordinary for some and
may not be extraordinary for other organizations).
Examples of EI include natural disasters,
nationalization or expropriation of assets by a
foreign government, and one-time major economic
transactions.
(5) Mandatory Changes in Accounting Principles
Consistency requires the use of the same accounting method from
year to year.
However, a company may on occasion choose to change to an
alternative accounting method (ex: depreciation method or FIFO to
average cost for inventory).
A company may be required to change to a new accounting
technique by the issue of a new accounting standard.
Changes may require retrospective application or involve adjustments
to retained earnings. They may require disclosure on the income
statement.
For mandatory changes the method is dictated in the new standard
For discretionary changes, retroactive treatment with disclosure is
required.

Accounting standards require certain items to be presented
on the income statement net of taxes to better determine
and isolate the true impact of the events.

Earnings-Per-Share Disclosure (EPS)
SFAS 128 simplified the presentation of earnings per share to two components:
Basic EPS
Diluted EPS
Calculation of Basic EPS =
_ Net Income - preferred dividends__
Weighted average common shares outstanding
Concept: To indicate how much each common shareholder “owns” with respect
to earnings.
Preferred dividends are deducted - if declared or if cumulative - because they are
“owed” to preferred shareholders.
This is a calculation of “what is” - the numerator and denominator use actual
shares outstanding and actual net income for the year.
Earnings-Per-Share (EPS) (cont’d)
Class problem:
Bush Company reported net income of $30,000 in 2014. The
company had 60,000 shares of common stock outstanding for all of
2014. Bush also had 5,000 shares of convertible preferred stock
outstanding for all of 2014. During 2014, the company declared a
$4,000 cash dividend to preferred shareholders. Each share of
preferred stock is convertible to 4 shares of common stock.
1.Calculate basic EPS:
$30,000 - 4,000 = $0.43 per share
60,000
*Note that the convertibility component is ignored for
basic EPS.
Earnings-Per-Share (EPS) (cont’d)
2. Calculate diluted EPS:
$30,000 - 0 = $0.38 per share
60,000 + (5,000 x 4)
*Note that the convertibility component is assumed to
have been exercised for diluted EPS. If the PS was
converted to CS at the beginning of the year, there would
have been NO preferred dividend, and there would have
been 20,000 additional shares of common stock
outstanding all year.
*The effects for convertible bonds and employee stock
options are similar for diluted EPS.
EPS Disclosure
Separate EPS disclosure for:
Net income from continuing operations (after tax)
Disposals of business segments
Extraordinary items
Calculation
Separate dollar amount (from above categories) divided by number of
common shares outstanding
If diluted EPS exists, the company should also calculate
diluted EPS for each level of presentation.
If diluted EPS is antidilutive (the calculation is actually higher
than basic EPS), the company does not have to present
diluted EPS.
