3. Common Stock and Earnings Per Share

Net income of $3,717 and $3,305 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $6,530 and $5,899 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, is used to calculate both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive shares. The dilutive effect of employee stock-based compensation is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share and is calculated using the treasury stock method and expected proceeds upon exercise or issuance of the stock-based compensation.

The following table summarizes the shares used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share:
