NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)<br />
NOTE 16: EARNINGS PER SHARE<br />
Earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted<br />
average number of common shares outstanding during the period on a basic and diluted basis.<br />
Our potentially dilutive securities include potential common shares related to our stock options, restricted<br />
stock and restricted stock units. Diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) considers the impact of potentially<br />
dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares<br />
would have an antidilutive effect. Diluted EPS excludes the impact of potential common shares related to our<br />
stock options in periods in which the option exercise price is greater than the average market price of our<br />
common stock for the period. There were 278,173 potential common shares excluded from Diluted EPS for the<br />
year ended December 31, 2009. There were no excluded potential common shares from Diluted EPS for the years<br />
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.<br />
As discussed in Note 2, we adopted the new guidance related to determining whether instruments granted in<br />
share-based payment transactions are participating securities on January 1, 2009. Our non-vested restricted stock<br />
awards contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends, and thus, are participating securities requiring the<br />
two-class method of computing EPS. The two-class method determines EPS by dividing the sum of distributed<br />
earnings to common stockholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted<br />
average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. In calculating the two-class method,<br />
undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the weighted<br />
average shares outstanding during the period.<br />
Earnings applicable to common stock and common stock shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted<br />
earnings per share are as follows:<br />
