EPS is not an item to be shown in Balance Sheet. Just evaluate what Balance sheet requires, Assets= Liabilities + Equity. Negative EPS cannot be classified as either Asset Liability or Equity (although Profit or loss are ultimately shown in balance sheet, hence net effect is an increase or decrease in Equity, but EPS itself is not presented in Balance sheet). Then question raise where EPS is shown. It is just a disclosure requirement to show it after calculating the profit & loss account in published accounts.
