Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Stockholders of Argan | NOTE 12—EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF ARGAN Basic earnings (loss) per share amounts were computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock that were outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share amounts for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 were computed by dividing the corresponding income amounts by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares for the applicable period plus 272,000 shares and 284,000 shares representing the total dilutive effects of outstanding stock options and warrants during the periods, respectively. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 excluded the effects of options to purchase approximately 147,000 and 121,000 shares of common stock, respectively, because such anti-dilutive common stock equivalents had exercise prices that were in excess of the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share amounts for the nine months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 were computed by dividing the income amounts by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares for the applicable period plus 280,000 shares and 347,000 shares representing the total dilutive effects of outstanding stock options and warrants during the periods, respectively. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding for the nine months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 excluded the anti-dilutive effects of options to purchase approximately 267,000 and 389,000 shares of common stock, respectively. The diluted loss per share for the nine months ended October 31, 2012 for discontinued operations was computed by dividing the loss amount by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares for the period. The effects of outstanding options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock were not reflected in the computation as the loss made these common stock equivalents anti-dilutive for the period. The earnings per share amounts for continuing operations attributable to the stockholders of Argan for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 were based on the amounts of income from continuing operations, or $11,928,000 and $6,065,000, respectively. The earnings per share amounts for continuing operations attributable to the stockholders of Argan for the nine months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 were based on the amounts of income from continuing operations, or $30,961,000 and $16,989,000, respectively. These amounts excluded the net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests.
