Net Income per Common Share

Note 4 – Net Income per Common Share

Basic net income per common share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential dilutive common shares, consisting of unvested restricted stock awards and stock options outstanding, during the period. In addition, all share based payments outstanding that vest based on the achievement of performance and/or market price conditions, and for which the respective performance and/or market price conditions have not been achieved, have been excluded from the diluted per share calculation. Approximately 510,800 and 160,000 shares of common stock have been excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation for the three months ended April 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. For the three months ended April 30, 2016 and 2015, 19,200 and 23,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were issued in connection with the exercise or vesting of equity awards.

On February 1, 2016, the Company adopted the Accounting Standard Update 2016-09 (see Note 7 for further details). The new guidance prescribes that excess tax benefits are no longer recognized in additional paid in capital. The assumed proceeds from applying the treasury stock method when computing net income per share is amended to exclude the amount of excess tax benefits that would be recognized in additional paid-in capital. This change in accounting results in approximately 350,000 additional diluted common shares being included in the diluted net income per share calculation for the three months ended April 30, 2016.

The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:
