Net Income per Common Share [Abstract]

Note 5 – Net Income per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income less dividends on preferred stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The diluted net income per common share is computed by adjusting the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding to include the effects of outstanding stock options, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method. Dilution is not applicable in periods of net loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the difference in the weighted average number of basic and diluted common shares was due solely to the effects of outstanding stock options. There were 508,000 outstanding options considered to be anti-dilutive at March 31, 2024. There were no outstanding options considered to be anti-dilutive at March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:
