I think deferred Tax liability has to be considered while calculating the EPS..

Calculate the net Profit/loss for the period including prior period terms and extraordinary item & deduct tax Liability (Current + Deferred)

I hope I'm Right...

Hi Dear,

Every thing should be consider while calculating EPS

if there is any extra ordianry item than all EPS will be calculated twice

one time without considering the extra ordinary item

second time after considering extra ordinary item.

Deferred tax liability is not an extra ordianry item.

Hope u got the clearification.

Yes sir i agree with your answer. In our case there is a loss from operating activities and then after providing deferred tax adjustments the company goes into profit. And EPS is calculated from that profit. So my argument is whether this treatment amounted to false presentation or not.....???
