	(in thousands, except per share data)
Net income available to common stockholders	$	7,705	$	5,525
Shares:
Weighted average common shares outstanding	86,866		86,703

Basic earnings per common share	$	0.09	$	0.06
Diluted earnings per common share	$	0.09	$	0.06

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Diluted earnings per share are determined by dividing net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. Common stock equivalents assume exercise of stock options, warrants and vesting of restricted stock units and use of proceeds to purchase treasury stock at the average market price for the period.  If the average market price for the period is less than the strike price of a stock option or warrant, that option or warrant is considered anti-dilutive and is excluded from the calculation of common stock equivalents.  If the total employee proceeds of a restricted stock unit exceed the average market price for the period, that restricted stock unit is considered anti-dilutive and is excluded from the calculation of common stock equivalents.  At March 31, 2014, 482,430 outstanding options and 573,833 warrants were anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of common stock equivalents.  At March 31, 2013, 656,279 outstanding options, 573,833 warrants, and 787,842 restricted stock units were anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of common stock equivalents.
