20 December 2010 Dear Mayank,
As per Para 7 of AS 20 "Examples of potential equity shares are:
(a) Not relevant to your case
(b) Not relevant to your case
(c) options including employee stock option plans under which
employees of an enterprise are entitled to receive equity shares
as part of their remuneration and other similar plans; and
d)Not Relevant Again
As in Your Case once the shares are actually issued (i.e. no more an ESOP) then they desert their Potential Equity Shares status and thus irrespective of what consideration it was Issued for , Diluted EPS SHALL NOT BE COMPUTED.

21 December 2010 but shares issued to employee less than fair value is one type of bonus issued to him hence no. of shares will increase but there is no increase in earnings of the company hence in my view diluted eps should be calculate because it affects the earnigs of outside shreholders.
