NOTE 11.  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 three and nine months ended September 30, 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, options to purchase 2,294 and 1,845 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding and anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the period and 18 and 6 shares of restricted stock were outstanding and anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the three and nine months September 30, 2013, respectively.  Additionally, options to purchase 449 and 834 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and 572 shares of unvested restricted stock were outstanding and excluded as their required performance or market conditions were not met.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, options to purchase 930 and 590 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and 750 shares of unvested restricted stock as their required performance or market conditions were not met.
