1. Acct 387 - Chapter 171 Issuance, Conversion and Retirement of Convertible Securities In general, there is no value assigned to the conversion feature of a convertible security Issue as a straight debt issue At time of conversion, issue stock at either book value of debt (preferred method) or market value of stock (will recognize a gain or loss) (For preferred stock use book value method)

2. Acct 387 - Chapter 172 Retirement is treated the same as a nonconvertible, with material gains or losses treated as extraordinary Payments to induce conversion (sweeteners) should be expensed. Exercise 2

3. Acct 387 - Chapter 173 Stock Warrants Warrants are rights to purchase a specified number of shares at a given price for a given period of time. They are issued (1) to sweeten another security; (2) to satisfy a preemptive right (memo entry only); and (3) as employee compensation.

4. Acct 387 - Chapter 174 When issued with another security must determine the value of the warrants using the proportional or incremental method. Value assigned to warrants should be credited to PIC - Stock Warrants. If warrants are exercised, issue stock at book value of warrants plus cash received.

5. Acct 387 - Chapter 175 Stock Compensation Plans Stock Compensation Plans fall into three models: Stock Option plans - accounted for under fair value or intrinsic value Stock Appreciation rights - accounted for under fair value or intrinsic value Performance plans - accounted for at market value at exercise date The goal is to assign compensation to period benefited.

6. Acct 387 - Chapter 176 Earnings per Share Simple Capital Structure If there are no securities that can be converted into common stock and the effect of that conversion is to reduce EPS, company has a simple capital structure.

7. Acct 387 - Chapter 177 EPS = Net Income - Preferred Dividend Weighted Avg. Shares Outstanding Preferred Dividends subtracted is paid or not paid if cumulative Weighted average shares need to be adjusted for splits, dividends and changes during the year. Exercise 15, 16

8. Acct 387 - Chapter 178 EPS - Complex Capital Structure If convertible securities would reduce EPS if converted, they are said to be dilutive. Add the impact of the conversion into the numerator and denominator (i.e. interest saved versus more shares issued) and see if EPS goes down.

9. Acct 387 - Chapter 179 For option and warrants, securities are dilutive if they are "in the money". For these, assume they are exercised and the proceeds used to buy treasury stock. Add additional shares into denominator. Shares under contingent issue agreements should be added if the conditions have been met. Disclose basic and diluted. Exercise 23, 24, Problem 4, 8
