14.	Earnings per Share

The computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the Company’s net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options and restricted share units were exercised / released. The dilutive effect of stock options and restricted share units were calculated using the treasury stock method.

For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, there were 518,000, 141,000 and nil anti-dilutive stock options that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, respectively.

The following table sets forth the denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations.
