Earnings Per Share
NOTE 2. Earnings Per Share

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the foregoing as well as the exercise of all dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method.

The components of the denominator for basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share are reconciled as follows.
