There's probably an SEC link or FASB link somewhere. Intel mentioned the rule in its earning release yesterday: Intel is now required to report two separate earnings per share numbers, basic EPS and diluted EPS. Diluted EPS is the same number as Intel has previously been reporting as earnings per share and includes the dilutive impact of employee options and the 1998 Step-Up Warrants.

How about a link to Cube's 10Q dated 8/14/97...................... sec.gov 4. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128"). The Company is required to adopt SFAS 128 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 and will restate at that time earnings per share ("EPS") data for prior periods to conform with SFAS 128. Earlier application is not permitted. SFAS 128 replaces current EPS reporting requirements and requires the Company to present both basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. If SFAS 128 had been in effect during the current and prior year periods, basic EPS would have been $0.21 and $0.42 for the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $0.64 and $0.83 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Diluted EPS under SFAS 128 would not have been significantly different from EPS currently reported for the periods. In June 1997, the FASB adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which requires that an enterprise report, by major components and a single total, the change in its net assets during the period from nonowner sources; and No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise's business segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers. Adoption of these statements will not impact the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Both statements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier application permitted.
