NOTE 7 ¾ EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
Basic and diluted net income per share information is presented in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” (ASC 260). Basic income per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding, which includes common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents are excluded from a calculation of diluted income per share if the impact would be anti-dilutive. The Company’s common stock equivalents include stock options and restricted shares. The diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 excluded unvested restricted shares and stock options to purchase approximately 60,000 and 561,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock because such common stock equivalents had an exercise price in excess of the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the period, or would be anti-dilutive. The diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 excluded unvested restricted shares and stock options to purchase approximately 103,000 and 559,000 shares, respectively, because such common stock equivalents had an exercise price in excess of the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the period, or would be anti-dilutive.
