8.             Earnings Per Share

 

                The following is a reconciliation of the amounts utilized in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

 

In fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, stock options and stock-settled stock appreciation rights ('SARs") to purchase approximately 1.3 million, 1.2 million and 2.7 million shares, respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' and SARs' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common shares and, therefore, their effect would be antidilutive. In fiscal 2009, restricted stock units ("RSUs") of approximately 20,000 were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. In fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 there were no anti-dilutive RSUs outstanding.
