During 2012, Vitos Corporation engaged in two complex transactions to improve the business-selling off a division and retiring bonds. The company has always issued a simple, single-step income statement, and the accountant has accordingly prepared the December 31 year-end income statements for 2011 and 2012, as shown below.

Robert Vitos, the president of Vitos Corporation, is pleased to see that both net income nad earnings per share increased by almost 33 percent from 2011 to 2012, and he intends to announce to the company's stockholders that the plan to improve the business has been successful.
