NOTE 10 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the entity. Diluted EPS also utilizes the treasury stock method which prescribes a theoretical buy back of shares from the theoretical proceeds of all options and warrants outstanding during the period. Since there is a large number of options and warrants outstanding, fluctuations in the actual market price can have a variety of results for each period presented.
 
A reconciliation of the applicable numerators and denominators of the income statement periods presented is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

For Fiscal 2014 and 2012, diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share due to the inclusion of Common Stock, in the form of stock options and warrants (“Common Stock Equivalents”), would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share. For Fiscal 2014 and 2012, there were Common Stock Equivalents in the amount of 598,609 and 177,035, respectively, which were in-the-money, that were excluded in the earnings per share computation due to their dilutive effect. In addition, for Fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, there were Common Stock Equivalents in the amount of 26,500, 472,500 and 114,000, respectively, which were out-of-the-money (the exercise price of the stock option was greater than the average market price for the period), that were excluded in the earnings per share computation due to their dilutive effect.
