Earnings per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per Share

(9) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The diluted EPS calculation includes the effect of contingently issuable stock-based compensation awards with performance vesting conditions as being outstanding at the beginning of the period in which all vesting conditions are met.

If all necessary conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the contingently issuable shares included in diluted EPS are based on the number of dilutive shares that would be issuable at the end of the contingency period. Contingently-issuable non-vested share awards are included in the diluted EPS calculation as of the beginning of the period (or as of the date of the contingent share agreement, if later).

The reconciliation of basic and diluted shares for the three and six months ended July 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011, are as follows:
