Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, inclusive of nonvested share-based awards that are entitled to receive non-forfeitable dividends.  The diluted earnings (loss) per share (“Diluted EPS”) computation takes into account the effect of potential dilutive common shares.  Potential common shares, consisting primarily of outstanding stock options, warrants and director deferred shares, are calculated using the treasury stock method.

For the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Basic EPS and Diluted EPS shares were the same because the impact of potential dilutive securities would have been antidilutive.  Accordingly, the following were excluded from the Diluted EPS computation: outstanding options to purchase 1.0 million shares of common stock (at a weighted average price per share of $16.26 and $16.14) and warrants to purchase 3,690,000 shares of common shares (exercise price per share of $5.10) for the three months ended December 31, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
