NOTE 11 – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net income per common share takes into effect the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding.  The Company’s only potential common shares outstanding are stock options and shares associated with the long-term incentive compensation plans, which resulted in no dilutive effect for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.  The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding options using the treasury stock method. Due to the net losses in the first three months of 2014 and 2015, there was no dilutive impact from stock options or unvested shares.  Options totaling 522,922 and 103,896 would have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three-months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of common stock during the period and deferred stock awards totaling 205,010 and 172,750 shares would not have been included for the three-months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 because of unmet performance conditions.
