Stock options and restricted stock totaling 249,846 shares and 182,391 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive. The computation of diluted shares can vary among periods due, in part, to the change in the average price of the Company’s common stock.
