Earnings/(Loss) Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings/(Loss) Per Share

Note 14. 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 for the period. Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is similarly computed, and includes the effect, if dilutive, of the Company's weighted-average number of stock options outstanding and shares of deferred stock units.

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted-average number of shares (in thousands) used in the Company's basic and diluted per share computations:

Fiscal Year Ended	Basic EPS			Effect of Dilutive Stock Options and Deferred Stock Units (treasury stock method)			Diluted EPS
January 28, 2012
Shares		22,263			1,094			23,357
Earnings	$	0.74			($0.03	)	$	0.71
January 29, 2011
Shares		22,087			534			22,621
Earnings	$	0.13		$	0.00		$	0.13
January 30, 2010
Shares		22,087			—			22,087
Loss		($2.87	)	$	0.00			($2.87	)

Certain outstanding stock options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the fiscal years ended January 28, 2012, January 29, 2011, and January 30, 2010 there were anti-dilutive options of 1,942,013; 1,988,586 and 3,129,007, respectively.
