EARNINGS PER SHARE [Abstract]

EARNINGS PER SHARE

D.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

A reconciliation of the changes in the numerator and the denominator from the calculation of basic EPS to the calculation of diluted EPS follows (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2012						Three Months Ended March 26, 2011
	Income (Numerator)		Shares (Denominator)		Per Share Amount		Income (Numerator)			Shares (Denominator)		Per Share Amount
Net Earnings Attributable to Controlling Interest	$	4,155					$	(3,670	)
EPS - Basic Income available to common stockholders		4,155		19,569	$	0.21		(3,670	)		19,306	$	(0.19	)
Effect of dilutive securities				131							-
EPS - Diluted Income available to common  stockholders and assumed options exercised	$	4,155		19,700	$	0.21	$	(3,670	)		19,306	$	(0.19	)

Options to purchase 10,000 shares were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period and, therefore would be antidilutive.

Options to purchase shares and certain other shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because they were anti-dilutive given the net loss for the quarter ended March 26, 2011.
