Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
NET INCOME PER SHARE | NET INCOME PER SHARE Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted net income per share is calculated after adjusting the denominator of the basic net income per share calculation for the effect of all potentially dilutive stock compensation awards outstanding during the period. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:

For the three months ended October 27, 2012 and October 29, 2011, options to purchase 383,185 shares and 962,662 shares, respectively, have been excluded in the computation of net income per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market price for that period, and therefore, would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended October 27, 2012 and October 29, 2011, options to purchase 511,185 shares and 514,412 shares, respectively, have been excluded in the computation of net income per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market price for that period, and therefore, would have been anti-dilutive.
