(1) For the three month period ended February 28, 2015, basic weighted-average shares outstanding and basic net income available to common shareholders under the treasury method are used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share as a result of the reported loss for the period. For the three month period ended February 28, 2014, basic weighted-average shares outstanding and basic net income available to common shareholders are used in calculating diluted earnings per share under the two-class method, as that method resulted in the most dilutive earnings per share.

(2) For the nine month periods ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, approximately 2,995,000 and 3,019,000 shares of stock, respectively, granted under stock-based compensation plans were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for those periods, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
