SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Elements of Shareholders’ Equity:
1. Share Capital or Capital Stock
a) Ordinary share capital or common stock
b) Preference share capital or preferred stock
Measure of Share Capital When Issued or Subscribed: With par – at par any excess to Share Premium
Without par but with a stated value:
1. At stated value any excess to Share Premium Reserve
2. At total amount or proceeds on the issue of the share
Share capital transaction – any gain on the reissue (treasury share), retirement, conversion of share is credited
to the account Share Premium Reserve or any other appropriate account, any loss is charged against Share
Premium (for the reissue of treasury), if any, any remaining loss to Accumulated Profits and Losses, any loss
identified to other share capital transaction other than re-issue of treasury, is debited directly to the account
Accumulated Profits and Losses.
Issuance of Ordinary and Preference Shares for a Basket Price: Both Securities are treated as equity:
1. If the market values of both equity shares are known, the basket price is allocated using their market
value ratio.
2. When only one security has a known market value, the basket price or proceeds is allocated to the
securities by deducting the market value of the security with a known market value (the market value of
that security will be its assigned value) the excess will the assigned value of the security without a known
market value.
Measure of Treasury Share – at cost which is equal to the face value of cash or fair market value of non-cash
asset surrendered in reacquiring shares of the company.
Disposal of treasury share thru re-issuance - the re-issue price less the cost of treasury share. Any positive
excess is credited to Share Premium- from Treasury. Any negative excess is debited to Share Premium-Treasury
to the extent of an existing credit balance prior to re-issuance, any remaining negative excess is debited to
Retained Earnings or Accumulated Profits or Losses account.
Disposal of treasury share thru retirement - the carrying value of the share to which to the treasury share
belongs less cost of the treasury. Any positive excess is credited to Share Premium- from Retirement. Any
negative excess is debited to Accumulated Profits and Losses.
* The carrying value of the share includes the Par and the Share Premium at the time the shares were originally issued.
Bonus issue – is an issue of shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their current shareholdings at no
cost to the shareholders. The company uses its reserves balances or retained earnings to make the issue. The
bonus issue is a transfer from one equity account to another, so it does not increase or decrease the shareholders’
equity of the enterprise. Bonus issue is a transaction that will only affect the components of the equity or a
transaction inside the shareholders’ equity. The result of the bonus issue increases the share capital and decreases
another equity account of the entity.
For transactions, including transactions with employees, the entity shall measure the fair value of the compound
financial instrument at the measurement date, taking into account the terms and conditions on which the rights
to cash or equity instruments were granted. The entity shall first measure the fair value of the debt component
and then measure the fair value of the equity component, taking into account that the counterparty must forfeit
the right to receive cash in order to receive the equity instruments.

company has currently 120 employees.
The employee is required to be employed with the company at the time the condition is met in order to receive
the options. Two options together with P75 per share entitles the holder to acquire 1 ordinary share (P50 par
value). The share options will expire in 5 years. On the date of grant, it is expected that the condition will be

price will equal/exceed P90 in four years (hence the share options become exercisable) and the possibility that
the share price will not equal/exceed P90 in four years (hence the option will be forfeited, that is reverted back
to equity). The company estimates that the market value of the stock option on the date of grant with this market
condition is P16 per option.
