Note 8 — Earnings per Share

 

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus, when their effect is dilutive, incremental shares consisting of shares subject to stock options and shares issuable upon vesting of restricted stock awards.

 

In accordance with ASC 260-10-45, Share-Based Payment Arrangements and Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method, our unvested restricted stock awards are deemed participating securities since these shares are entitled to participate in dividends declared on common shares.  During periods of net income, the calculation of earnings per share for common stock excludes income attributable to unvested restricted stock awards from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those shares from the denominator.  During periods of net loss, no effect is given to the participating securities because they do not share in the losses of the Company.

 

A reconciliation of the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share information for the three month periods ended August 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

At August 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, stock options to purchase 2,041,000 shares and 148,000 shares of common stock were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of each of these options was greater than the average market price of the common shares during the interim periods then ended.
