Stock options with exercise prices greater than the average market price of the underlying Common Shares are excluded from the computation of diluted income per Common Share because they are out-of-the-money and the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. There were no Common Shares covered by out-of-the-money options for the year ended September 30, 2018 or September 30, 2017, and there were 0.2 million Common Shares covered by out-of-the-money options for the year ended September 30, 2016.
