3.  Earnings per Common Share

 

Basic earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock, plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method.  Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, restricted stock and warrants.

 

The computations for basic and diluted earnings per common share are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):
