Earnings Per Share Calculations

Note 5. Earnings Per Share Calculations

The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share are noted below. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts were exercised or converted into common stock. RSAs are included in the common shares outstanding because the shares have all the same voting and dividend rights as issued and unrestricted common stock.  The Company’s 2 for 1 stock split has been adjusted retroactively for all periods presented.

The SARs outstanding of 361,356 shares are anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. All options are dilutive and the dilutive effect is shown in the table below.
