Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
EARNINGS PER SHARE
NOTE 12 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”, requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) computations.
 
The Company only has common stock and the following convertible instruments outstanding at September 30, 2012:
 
1.        814,643 Preferred Shares – convertible on a 1:1 basis for common shares
2.        11,542,252 October 2009 Financing Warrants – exercisable at $2.255 per share
3.        24,000 Common Shares – issuable to officers, directors and consultants under various agreements
 
Total number of potential additional dilutive common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2012 was 12,380,895 from outstanding convertible instruments.
 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares, stock options, warrants and other equity awards were converted or exercised during the period. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, warrants and options are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.  In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
  
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and dilutive net income per share:

*The diluted earnings per share calculation deducts the gain from the warrant derivative liability of $2,126,653 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from the net income attributable to common stockholders in the numerator for the diluted earnings per share.  The diluted earnings per share for the three month period ended September 30, 2011, as previously reported, were $0.18 per share.  The diluted earnings per share for the period were recalculated to properly apply the adjustment for the gain from the warrant derivative liability and restated to reflect the adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders of $15,709,473 for the diluted earnings per share calculation.
