Diluted EPS considers the potential dilution that could occur if the Company’s outstanding common stock options, warrants and convertible debentures were converted into common stock that then shared in the

Company’s earnings (as adjusted for interest expense) that would no longer occur if the debentures were converted).

(2) All outstanding warrants and options were considered for the EPS computation.

(3) Convertible debentures (principal and accrued interest) outstanding at March 31, 2013 and 2012 totaling $6.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively, were convertible into common stock at a price of $10.00 and $10.25 per share in 2013 and $10.00 to $10.25 per share in 2012. No potential dilutive shares for each of the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2012 have been excluded from earnings per share due to being anti-dilutive.
