Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

 Net income$ 2,357 $ 10,947 $ 8,364 $20,923
 Weighted average shares - basic  31,310   31,383   31,331   31,445
 Weighted average shares - diluted  31,975   32,545   32,192   32,669
 Net income per share - basic$ 0.08 $ 0.35 $ 0.27 $ 0.67
 Net income per share - diluted$ 0.07 $ 0.34 $ 0.26 $ 0.64

Diluted weighted average shares includes approximately 665,000 and 1,162,000 common equivalent shares from stock options for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and approximately 861,000 and 1,224,000 common equivalent shares from stock options for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

Basic net income available per common share is computed using net income and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed using net income and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, assuming dilution, which includes potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares include the assumed exercise of stock options and assumed vesting of restricted stock units using the treasury stock method. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, there were outstanding weighted average options to purchase 2,779,738 and 2,018,330 shares, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share since the exercise prices of the options exceeded the market price of the common stock. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, there were outstanding weighted average options to purchase 606,173 and 738,137 shares, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share since the exercise prices of the options exceeded the market price of the common stock. These options could dilute earnings per share in future periods if the market price of the common stock increases.
