Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Note 7 Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed similarly to basic net income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. For the three and nine months ended August 3, 2013 and August 4, 2012, options to purchase 54,150 and 78,900 shares, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of potentially dilutive securities as the effect on earnings (loss) per share is antidilutive.
