11. EARNINGS PER SHARE

        Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share reflected the effect of potentially dilutive securities.

        The following is a reconciliation of the income and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:
