Objective of the workpaper

List the ordinary share movements and their dates, weight each tranche over time, restate events with no change in resources (bonus issue, reverse split, bonus element of a rights issue), assess contingently issuable shares and the weighting (judgments), then prepare the illustrative entries. Numbers, dates and prices are case data.

  • Points reviewed: weighted average number and events

    ChecklistRequired

    • Denominator: weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
    • Time factor applied to shares issued or repurchased (a reasonable approximation is often acceptable)
    • Date of inclusion: date the consideration is receivable
    • Mandatorily convertible instruments: shares outstanding from the date of the contract
    • Contingently issuable shares: outstanding once all the conditions are met
    • Partly paid shares identified and treatment documented
    • Events with no change in resources identified (bonus issue, bonus element of a rights issue, share split, reverse split)
    • Adjustment as if the event had occurred at the beginning of the first period presented
    • Rights issue: adjustment factor = price before detachment / theoretical ex-rights value

Judgments: time weighting and contingently issuable shares

Judgment

IAS 33 §20IAS 33 §24IAS 33 §23

  • Time weighting

    JudgmentRequired

    Reasonable approximation in months

    Exact weighting in days / Reasonable approximation in months

    Professional judgment: weighting uses a time factor (days outstanding over days in the period); a reasonable approximation is often acceptable. The choice of days or months is the case's, never a rule.

  • Rationale: precision needed and difference from exact weighting

    Text

    WHOLE_MONTHS_CASE_CONVENTION

  • Contingently issuable or mandatorily convertible shares

    JudgmentRequired

    Included from the date retained / Excluded: conditions not met

    Professional judgment: assess whether all the conditions are met and on what date, or the date of the contract for a mandatorily convertible instrument; no threshold is imposed.

  • Rationale: conditions, date they are met or date of the contract
