6. Earnings Per Share

The computation of basic earnings per share (EPS) is based on the number of weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the incremental shares that would be outstanding assuming exercise of dilutive stock options and issuance of restricted stock. The number of incremental shares is calculated by applying the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the weighted average common shares outstanding (in thousands):

	Thirteen Weeks Ended				Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
	July 29, 2017		July 30, 2016		July 29, 2017		July 30, 2016
Weighted-average shares used in basic computations		20,781		22,281		21,049		22,531
Dilutive equity awards		-		161		75		164
Weighted-average shares used in diluted computations		20,781		22,442		21,124		22,695

For the thirteen weeks ended July 29, 2017, we excluded 269,658 options from the computation of diluted weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding because of their anti-dilutive effect. For the thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2016, we excluded 144,148 options from the computation of diluted weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding because of their anti-dilutive effect.

During periods of net income, we exclude nonvested stock awards granted to certain employees from the computation of diluted weighted-average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding because they are subject to certain performance-based annual vesting conditions which had not been achieved by period end. During periods of net loss, no effect is given for nonvested stock awards.
