Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS includes the potential dilution of common stock equivalent shares that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common

Under this method, proceeds based on the exercise price plus unearned compensation and windfall tax benefits or tax shortfalls, as defined by ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (ASC 718) (SFAS 123(R)), are assumed to be used to repurchase shares on the open market at the average market price for the period. The windfall tax benefits are tax deductions we would receive upon the assumed exercise of stock options in excess of the deferred income taxes we recorded related to the compensation expense on the stock options. Tax shortfalls occur when the assumed tax deductions are less than recorded deferred income taxes. The calculation excludes stock options for which the exercise price for common stock was greater than the average market price during the period. We had 1,505,096 and 1,513,721 of such stock options outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 1,507,361 and 1,494,935 of such stock options outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. <br />We had 890,781 stock options outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, that were antidilutive because of the unearned compensation and windfall tax benefits included in the assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method. We had no such antidilutive stock options outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2009, nor the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008.<br />The dilution from unvested restricted stock awards and units is also based on the treasury stock method. Assumed proceeds equal to the unearned compensation and windfall tax benefits or tax shortfalls related to the awards, as defined by ASC 718, are assumed to be used to repurchase shares on the open market at the average market price for the period. The windfall tax benefits or tax shortfalls are the difference between tax deductions we would receive upon the assumed vesting of restricted stock awards and units and the deferred income taxes we recorded related to the compensation expense on the restricted stock awards and units. We had no antidilutive restricted stock awards or units outstanding during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, nor the three months ended September 30, 2008. We had 431,401 restricted stock units and no restricted stock awards outstanding that were antidilutive during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. </p></div> EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table provides the per share computations for our earnings for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and false false No definition available.
