There were no anti-dilutive securities for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014.  Options to purchase 550,366 and 563,022 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, because the inclusion of these options would be anti-dilutive.
