EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") are calculated with reference to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  Treasury shares are not included in the calculation.  The computation of diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, assumes the conversion of potentially dilutive instruments.

The components of the numerator for the calculation of basic and diluted EPS are as follows:
