This was a pretty good positing from last year explaining an increase in A/S:

Actually, an increase in the A/S is not necessarily a bad thing. Companies use the authorized shares as a protection measure from any change of control of ownership. In addition, they can also use their authorized shares to acquire other companies rather than using their cash. They can use stock for stock transactions and actually increase wealth to the company of which increases wealth to your shares.
