@erifloss and Evolve, I am not a practising Accountant, but I am reasonably conversant in interpreting Consolidated Accounts.
I still stand by my words regarding CFC Stanbic Ban's EPS in the books of CFC Stanbic Holdings.
Let me
break it down for you:
The earnings from CFC Stanbic Bank are all attributable to shareholders of the parent since CFC Stanbic Bank is wholly owned by CFC Stanbic Holdings Ltd.
Total earnings from the bank (which include those from CFC Financial Services and the proportion the bank owns in SIMS ) were Kshs 1,477,182,000. When this amount is "transferred" to the holdings company, you then have to "share" them out amongst all the shares in the holding company (NOT those for the bank), in this case 273,684,211 shares, amounting to an EPS of Kshs
5.40.
Assuming that the holding co. had no other subsidiary and had ZERO expenses, it means the EPS for CFC Stanbic Holdings Co. would be 5.40.
Are you with me so far?
