INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS PER COMMON SHARE

NOTE K – INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net income allocable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income allocable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares, as adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of non-participating share-based awards.

The following table presents basic and diluted income from continuing operations per common share information for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, approximately 2 million and 2 million shares of Company common stock underlying restricted stock awards and options to purchase common stock were excluded from the calculation because their effect on income per share was anti-dilutive during the respective periods. Weighted average restricted stock awards of approximately 5 million and 5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were considered participating securities in the calculation of net income allocable to common stockholders.

For the six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, approximately 2 million and 2 million shares of Company common stock underlying restricted stock awards and options to purchase common stock were excluded from the calculation because their effect on income per share was anti-dilutive during the respective periods. Weighted average restricted stock awards of approximately 4 million and 5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were considered participating securities in the calculation of net income allocable to common stockholders.
