Net profit is not shown on the liabilities side of the balance sheet. Net profit is shown on the income statement as a measure of a company's profitability over a specific period. The balance sheet, on the other hand, presents a company's financial position at a specific point in time, showing its assets, liabilities, and equity.

EPS is not an item to be shown in Balance Sheet. Just evaluate what Balance sheet requires, Assets= Liabilities + Equity.

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.
