Earnings Per Share

4. Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units. Common shares issuable from stock options that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive were 177,100 and 249,900 in the second fiscal quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Shares used for calculating earnings per share are disclosed in the following table.
