Earnings Per Common Share

3.         Earnings Per Common Share

The Company calculates basic earnings per share using the two class method.  Under the two class method, earnings are allocated to common stock and participating securities (nonvested restricted shares and units that receive non-forfeitable dividends) according to their participation rights in dividends and undistributed earnings.  The earnings available to each class of stock is divided by the weighted average number of shares for the period in each class.  Because the participating securities have no obligation to share in net losses, losses are not allocated to the participating securities in this calculation.

The calculations of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:
