Earnings Per Share
Note 3 - Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period, which includes vested undistributed restricted stock units (RSUs). Diluted EPS includes the potential increase in the number of outstanding shares that could result from the exercise of in-the-money stock options, the vesting of RSUs with forfeitable dividends and the distribution of performance shares that are part of the Company's Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (LTSIP), less shares repurchased under the treasury stock method. Restricted shares and RSUs with nonforfeitable dividends are participating securities for the computation of basic EPS. The application of the two-class method had an insignificant impact on the calculation of both basic and diluted EPS. A reconciliation of the components of basic and diluted shares used in the EPS calculation follows:

There were no potential shares included in the diluted EPS calculation for the third quarter of 2013 because any such shares would be anti-dilutive due to the net loss in the quarter.
