(A) Earnings per share (EPS) for each quarter is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the quarter, while EPS for the year is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year. Thus, the sum of the EPS for each of the four quarters may not equal the EPS for the year.
 
Our minerals and materials segment recorded the following in the third quarter ended September 30, 2011:
 
-
Reduction to cost of sales of $1,464 resulting from the recovery of certain mining costs in our chromite operations.
 
-
Income from affiliates and joint ventures of $2,104 resulting from the sale of our Belgian joint venture.
 
As discussed in Note 2, we have restated our 2011 and prior financial statements. We have summarized the impact of errors that were material to the results of the quarters as noted below:
 
-
Increase in cost of sales of $792, $411, $359 and $236 in the first, second, third and fourth quarter, respectively, relating to inaccuracies in the accounting for inventory and long term contracts in our environmental segment's European operations.
 
-
Increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $519 and $198 in the third and fourth quarter, respectively, relating to errors in accounting for bad debt expense in our environmental segment's European operations.

-
Reduction to tax expense of $482 and $1,399 in the first and third quarter, respectively, resulting from inaccuracies in the accounting for income tax expense in our domestic and international operations.
 
-
The errors increased (decreased) net income attributable to AMCOL shareholders by $848, $(606), $106, $(938) in the first, second, third and fourth quarter, respectively.
 
-
The errors increased (decreased) diluted earnings per share attributable to AMCOL shareholders by $0.03, ($0.02), $0.01, and ($0.03) per share in the first, second, third and fourth quarterly, respectively.
