EARNINGS PER SHARE [Abstract]

EARNINGS PER SHARE

NOTE 12 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company’s earnings per share (EPS) was calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Certain outstanding options are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because they are anti-dilutive (i.e., their assumed conversion into common stock would increase rather than decrease EPS). For the three months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company excluded 190,000 options and 0 options because their impact was anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company excluded 105,000 options and 0 options because their impact was anti-dilutive.
