Earnings Per Common Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Common Share

Note H: Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings by the daily weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable periods. Diluted earnings per share include the potentially dilutive effect of common shares issued in connection with outstanding stock-based compensation options and grants, using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, shares associated with certain stock options have been excluded from the diluted weighted average shares outstanding calculation because the exercise of those options would lead to a net reduction in common shares outstanding. As a result, stock options to acquire 456,759 and 359,104 weighted common shares have been excluded from the diluted weighted shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 528,613 and 308,719 weighted common shares have been excluded from the diluted weighted shares outstanding for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The potentially dilutive effect of common shares issued in connection with outstanding stock options is determined based on net income. A reconciliation of these amounts is as follows (in thousands, except basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share):
