	(1)	The denominator does not include stock equivalents for options issued under the non-qualified stock option plan due to conversion prices being higher than market prices for the periods ending June 30, 2012. If the conditions for conversion were met under this plan, 327,503 and 330,322 shares, would be included for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.
