NOTE 2. COMMON STOCK OUTSTANDING AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding unvested restricted stock awards which do not have voting rights or share in dividends. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Holding Company. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.

The following is a computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
