NOTE 12.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings 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 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 per share:

For the year ended December 31, 2013, 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 year ended December 31, 2013, options to purchase 2,095 shares of common stock and 11 shares of restricted stock were outstanding and anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the period.  Additionally, options to purchase 711 shares of common stock were outstanding and anti-dilutive because the exercise prices were higher than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 322 shares of unvested restricted stock were outstanding and excluded as their required performance or market conditions were not met.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, diluted earnings per share excludes the anti-dilutive effect of options to purchase 696 shares of common stock whose exercise prices were higher than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 750 shares of unvested restricted stock as their required performance or market conditions were not met.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, diluted earnings per share excludes the anti-dilutive effect of options to purchase 800 shares of common stock whose exercise prices were higher than the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 750 shares of unvested restricted stock as their required performance or market conditions were not met.
