The Company had combined undistributed and distributed earnings to participating securities totaling $2 in the third quarter of 2013 and $3 in the third quarter of 2012. For the first three quarters of 2013 and 2012, the Company had combined undistributed and distributed earnings to participating securities of $9 and $8, respectively. The Company had options outstanding for approximately 4 and 14 shares during the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively, which were excluded from the computations of earnings per diluted common share because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. The Company had options outstanding for approximately 2 shares in the first three quarters of 2013 and 12 shares in the first three quarters of 2012 that were excluded from the computations of earnings per diluted common share because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.
