Earnings per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per Share

Note 3 –Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of stock outstanding.

The Company’s diluted earnings per common share give effect to all potential shares of Common Stock outstanding during a period that are not anti-dilutive. In computing the diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock and if converted methods are used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the conversion of Common Stock equivalents. The following summarizes the amounts included in the dilutive shares as disclosed on the face of the consolidated condensed statements of operations:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Weighted average number of shares for calculation of basic EPS – Common Stock		29,618,964		22,753,184		28,177,182		22,350,772
