Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company uses the two-class method to compute basic and diluted earnings per common share.  In periods of net loss, no effect is given to the Company’s participating securities as they do not contractually participate in the losses of the Company.  The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

   
2012
   
2011
   
2010
 
                   
NUMERATOR:                  
Net (loss) earnings before allocation of earnings to participating securities
  $ (49,295 )   $ (17,062 )   $ 104  
Less: Earnings allocated to participating securities
    -       -       7  
Net (loss) earnings after allocation of earnings to participating securities
  $ (49,295 )   $ (17,062 )   $ 97  
                         
DENOMINATOR:                        
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - basic
    16,331,672       17,371,315       18,601,465  
Dilutive effect of share-based awards:
    -       -       51,547  
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - dilutive
    16,331,672       17,371,315       18,653,012  
Basic (loss) earnings per common share attributable to Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc, stockholders:
  $ (3.02 )   $ (0.98 )   $ 0.01  
Diluted (loss) earnings per common share attributable to Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc, stockholders
  $ (3.02 )   $ (0.98 )   $ 0.01  

In calculating diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, options to purchase 1,155,239, 1,210,816, and 627,456, respectively, shares of common stock were outstanding at the end of the period, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive effect.

Due to the net loss in fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, the denominator for diluted earnings per common share is the same as the denominator for basic earnings per common share for those periods because the inclusion of stock options and unvested restricted shares would be anti-dilutive.
