19. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, 81,500 shares were anti-dilutive, all of which were represented by options. For the three months ended December 31, 2010, there were no anti-dilutive shares.
