NOTE 9 — NET INCOME PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options to issue common stock were exercised into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Restricted stock is a participating security and is therefore included in the computation of basic earnings per share.

 

Options to purchase shares of common stock that were outstanding at the end of the respective fiscal year were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares. There were 482,588, 2,500 and 222,552 such options outstanding at February 2, 2013, January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011.
