NOTE 11 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

The condensed consolidated statements of earnings present basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share considers the potential effect of dilution on basic earnings per share assuming potentially dilutive shares that meet certain criteria, such as those issuable upon exercise of stock options, were outstanding. The treasury stock method reduces the dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities as it assumes that cash proceeds (from the issuance of potentially dilutive securities) are used to buy back shares at the average share price during the period. Employee stock options and restricted stock units aggregating 98 and 803 shares were not included in the computation of diluted shares for the three months ended April 30, 2011 and April 30, 2010, respectively, because their effect would have been antidilutive. For the nine months ended April 30, 2011 and April 30, 2010, 180 and 1,341 antidilutive shares, respectively, were excluded. The following is reconciliation between basic shares outstanding and diluted shares outstanding:
