Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each year.  Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average common shares and all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.

Earnings per share (EPS) were computed as follows:

Options to purchase 444,770, 479,098 and 498,674 shares of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for that year because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
