Earnings Per Share
6.            Earnings Per Share

The computation of basic earnings per share (EPS) is based on the number of weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.  The computation of diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the incremental shares that would be outstanding assuming exercise of dilutive stock options and issuance of restricted stock.  The number of incremental shares is calculated by applying the treasury stock method.  The following table sets forth the weighted average common shares outstanding (in thousands):

For the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2017, we excluded 288,235 options from the computation of diluted weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding because of their anti-dilutive effect.  For the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 2016, we excluded 104,091 options from the computation of diluted weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding because of their anti-dilutive effect.

We excluded 92,200 nonvested stock awards granted to certain employees from the computation of diluted weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding because they are subject to certain performance-based annual vesting conditions which had not been achieved by October 28, 2017.  Assuming the performance-criteria had been achieved as of October 28, 2017, the incremental dilutive impact would have been 67,057 shares.
