Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per share

Note 13 – Earnings per share:

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Ocean-Bio Chem, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect additional dilution from potential common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options.  The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share, as well as a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to the weighted average number of shares outstanding on a diluted basis.
