| schweitzdm | I am not quite sure about what is at play here. Anyone care to explain? It seems so simple, I must be over thinking it |
| bgbigelow | The shareholders equity should be previous period equity + net income minus dividends. Since the total reported is 115 M then there must have been an additional 7 million not reported in net income that shows up in shareholders equity. |
| tomalot | $8m? 7+8 =15 |
| farhan92 | end equity=begin equity +ni -divs 115 = 100 +15 -7 115=108 the difference of 7 not included must be reported in comp inc. |
