INCOME PER COMMON SHARE [Abstract]

INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

5. INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic income per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted income per common share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock.  Incremental shares of 316,919 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share for the three month period ended March 31, 2014. Incremental shares of 116,292 were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculations for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 as their exercise price was in excess of the Company’s average stock price for the respective period and, accordingly, these shares are not assumed to be exercised for the diluted earnings per share calculation, as they would be anti-dilutive.  Incremental shares of 245,000 were used in the calculation of diluted income per common share in the three months ended March 31, 2013. Incremental shares of 239,734 were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculations for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 as their exercise price was in excess of the Company’s average stock price for the respective period and, accordingly, these shares are not assumed to be exercised for the diluted earnings per share calculation, as they would be anti-dilutive.
