Notes to Financial Statements |
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE | The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260 “Earning Per Share”. Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and if dilutive, the potential common shares outstanding during the period. The treasury stock transaction resulted in an immediate reduction in outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Up to December 31, 2012, the Company had repurchased 1,900 shares. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders per share:
