Earnings Per Share

B. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the three month period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the assumed exercise and conversion of outstanding options under the Company’s stock option plans, except when options have an anti-dilutive effect. Options to purchase 110,000 shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three month period ended July 31, 2016, because the option exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares during the quarter, and accordingly, such options would have an antidilutive effect. Options to purchase 29,276 shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three month period ended July 31, 2015, because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
