Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Our earnings per share is computed by dividing our net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Our diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing our net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common and potentially dilutive shares. Potentially dilutive shares are derived from outstanding stock options that have an exercise price less than the weighted average market price of our common stock. All RSUs were considered dilutive. Any options with an exercise price greater than the weighted average market price of our common stock are considered antidilutive and are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. In a period of net loss, all outstanding options are considered antidilutive. The number of common stock options considered antidilutive and thus excluded from the diluted earnings or loss per share computation for the three and six months ended February 29, 2012 was 582,418 and was 612,220 for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011.
