Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Computation of Earnings per Share

D) Computation of Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. For the purposes of this calculation, stock options are considered common stock equivalents in periods in which they have a dilutive effect. Stock options that are anti-dilutive are excluded from the calculation.

Net income per share is calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
Net income	$	2,197	$	2,599	$	2,788	$	4,344
Shares outstanding:
Weighted-average common shares outstanding		22,930		22,804		22,888		22,687
Additional dilutive common stock equivalents		81		89		61		94
Diluted shares outstanding		23,011		22,893		22,949		22,781
Net income per share – basic	$	0.10	$	0.11	$	0.12	$	0.19
Net income per share - diluted	$	0.10	$	0.11	$	0.12	$	0.19

For the three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, options to purchase 64,034 and 40,834 shares of common stock were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock and thus would be anti-dilutive.

For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, options to purchase 54,034 and 40,834 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock and thus would be anti-dilutive.
