Note 12. Per Share Data

12.  Per Share Data

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  The calculation of diluted EPS assumes weighted average options have been exercised to purchase shares of common stock in the relevant period, net of assumed repurchases using the treasury stock method. For the three months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, all outstanding unexercised stock options would be excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the exercise price of all such options exceeded the market price of the Companies’ common stock.  As a result, the calculation of diluted EPS has been excluded from the table below since diluted EPS for these periods is equal to EPS.

     Weighted average basic shares, taking into consideration shares issued, weighted average options used in calculating EPS and treasury shares repurchased, and basic loss per weighted average combined share for the three months ended January 31, 2012 and January 31, 2011 are as follows:
