NOTE 11 – NET INCOME PER SHARE
Basic net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net income per common share takes into effect the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. The Company's only potential common shares outstanding are stock options and shares associated with the long-term incentive compensation plans, which resulted in a dilutive effect of 69,562 shares and 57,210 shares for the respective three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011. The dilutive effect of stock options for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 was 16,369 shares and 24,670 shares, respectively. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding options using the treasury stock method. All options were included because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of common stock during the period and deferred stock awards totaling 78,943 shares were not included because of unmet performance conditions. |
