        No options to purchase shares of common stock for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of all stock options were less than the average share price of the Company's common stock. Options to purchase 52,500 shares of common stock for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of these stock options were greater than the average share price of the Company's common stock and, therefore, the effect would have been antidilutive.
