Earnings (Loss) Per Share

NOTE 10.  EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE  

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) by the total of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, plus the effect of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock grants. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

The following table is a reconciliation of basic and diluted shares of common stock outstanding used in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share:   

  

    THREE MONTHS ENDED   NINE MONTHS ENDED
    September 30, 2011   September 30, 2010   September 30, 2011   September 30, 2010
                 
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic                            21,855                            21,731                            21,841                            19,092
Effect of dilutive stock options                                 246                                      -                                 192                                   36
Effect of dilutive unvested restricted stock                                      -                                      -                                      -                                 211
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted                            22,101                            21,731                            22,033                            19,339
                 
Earnings (loss) per share:                
Basic    $                          0.05    $                        (0.15)    $                          0.06    $                          2.71
Diluted                                0.05                              (0.15)                                0.06                                2.67

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, diluted earnings per share excludes the anti-dilutive effect of options to purchase 613 and 848, respectively, shares of common stock whose exercise prices were higher than the average market price of the Company's common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 750 shares of unvested restricted stock as their required performance or market conditions were not met.

 

              For the three months ended September 30, 2010, basic net loss per share was the same as diluted net loss per share because all potentially dilutive securities were anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the period.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, diluted earnings per share excludes the anti-dilutive effect of options to purchase 1,563 shares of common stock whose exercise prices were higher than the average market price of the Company's common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 500 shares of unvested restricted stock as their required performance or market conditions were not met.
