Earning per Share and Dilution Computations

(5) Earnings per Share and Dilution Computations

Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The computation of diluted earnings per share further assumes the dilutive effect of common share options and restricted shares. All common share equivalents were antidilutive in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 because the Company had a net loss for the periods.

The following table reflects the computation of basic earnings per share for the periods presented (in thousands except per share amounts):

		Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
		2011		2010		2011		2010
Net loss attributable to Crosstex Energy, Inc.		$	(1,073)	$	(2,181)	$	(2,609)		(7,583)
Distributed earnings allocated to:
	Common shares	$	4,239	$	-	$	8,002	$	-
	Unvested restricted shares		115		-		190		-
	Total distributed earnings	$	4,354	$	-	$	8,192	$	-
Undistributed loss allocated to:
	Common shares	$	(5,281)	$	(2,118)	$	(10,546)	$	(7,367)
	Unvested restricted shares		(146)		(63)		(255)		(216)

	Total net loss	$	(1,073)	$	(2,181)	$	(2,609)	$	(7,583)
Basic and diluted net loss per share:
	Basic common share	$	(0.02)	$	(0.05)	$	(0.05)	$	(0.16)
	Diluted common share		(0.02)		(0.05)		(0.05)		(0.16)

The following are the common share amounts used to compute the basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

		Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
