Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share [Text Block]
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. Outstanding shares consist of issued shares less treasury stock. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average common shares outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents related to stock options and the Company’s ESPP.
Outstanding stock options that are anti-dilutive are excluded from the Company’s diluted earnings per share computation. There were approximately 1.5 million and 1.1 million shares covered by outstanding stock options that were not dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:
