Earnings Per Share

Note 3:Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects additional potential common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. The computation of per share earnings (loss) for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,		For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011	2010	2011	2010
(amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
Net income (loss)	$                (2,025)	$                    382	$                (4,601)	$                (1,703)
Preferred dividends	(272)	(272)	(816)	(816)
Net income (loss) available to common stockholders	$                (2,297)	$                    110	$                (5,417)	$                (2,519)
Average common shares outstanding	2,808,963	2,775,953	2,804,397	2,770,723
Average common share stock options outstanding and restricted stock (B)	14,293	10,136	21,031	14,431
Average diluted common shares (B)	2,823,256	2,786,089	2,825,428	2,785,154
Basic earnings (loss) per share	($0.82)	$0.04	($1.93)	($0.91)
Diluted earnings (loss) per share (A)	($0.82)	$0.04	($1.93)	($0.91)
(A)          No shares of stock options, restricted stock or warrants were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for any period there was a loss.
(B)          Warrants to purchase 111,083 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $29.37 per share were outstanding at September 30, 2011 and 2010, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the warrant's exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares, thus making the warrants anti-dilutive.  Stock options to purchase 24,375 and 33,875 shares of common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option's exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares, thus making the options anti-dilutive.

Income available for common stockholders is reduced by dividends declared in the period on preferred stock (whether or not they are paid) and the accretion of the warrants.
