6. EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Unvested shares of restricted stock are excluded from basic shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly, but reflects the potential dilution that would occur if dilutive options were exercised and restricted stock awards were vested. The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

For the three month periods ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, we excluded 0.7 million and 1.2 million common stock equivalents, respectively, from our earnings per share calculation because of their anti-dilutive effect on this calculation.  For the three month period ended February 28, 2014, no adjustment for common stock equivalents is reflected in the calculation of dilutive loss per share because the effect of including these potentially dilutive items would be anti-dilutive.  For the six month periods ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, we excluded 0.7 million and 0.3 million common stock equivalents, respectively, from our earnings per share calculation because of their anti-dilutive effect on this calculation.
