Earnings Per Share
14. Earnings Per Share
 
Earnings per share present both “basic” earnings per share and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the denominator includes both the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and the weighted average number of shares of potential common stock, such as stock options and restricted stock units and warrants, calculated using the treasury stock method.
 
For the three months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, there were 1,414,388 and 2,520,909 shares of common stock equivalents, respectively, which were anti-dilutive based on the Company’s stock price being lower than the option exercise price.
 
For the six months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, there were 1,584,888 and 2,707,525 shares of common stock equivalents, respectively, which were anti-dilutive based on the Company’s stock price being lower than the option exercise price.
