Earnings Per Share [Text Block]
3.        Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the maximum dilution that would have resulted from the assumed exercise and share repurchase related to dilutive stock options and is computed by dividing net income by the assumed weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

We are required to present earnings per share, or EPS, utilizing the two class method because we had outstanding, non-vested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, which are considered participating securities.

Basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the Company’s reported net income attributable to common stockholders are as follows:

All anti-dilutive securities, including certain stock options, are excluded from the diluted income per share computation. For the three months ended December 31, 2012 and  2011, 197,000 and 205,000 options, respectively, were excluded from the diluted income per share calculation because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
