The statement is false.
Because when own shares are purchased by the organization then treasury stock is debited. When those treasury stock are sold then any difference between the purchase price and sell price is directly adjusted to paid in capital in excess of par. The differential gain or loss should never adjusted to retained earnings or shown on the face of the income statement.
