Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

EARNINGS PER SHARE

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the diluted weighted average common shares, which reflects the potential dilution of common stock equivalents. The weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted EPS are as follows:

	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	October 29, 2011	October 27, 2012	October 29, 2011	October 27, 2012
	(In thousands)
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic EPS	27,828	27,933	27,733	27,883
Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents	144	84	220	122
Weighted average shares outstanding for diluted EPS	27,972	28,017	27,953	28,005

We use the treasury method for calculating the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. For the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal years 2011 and 2012, there were no anti-dilutive common stock equivalents.
