Note 12. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company’s common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period including participating securities (restricted shares issued pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation program are considered participating securities, as such shares have non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends). Unvested restricted shares are not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the common shareholders. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company had 3.1 million and 3.1 million, respectively, of weighted average unvested restricted shares outstanding. EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are calculated based on the data presented on the face of the consolidated statement of operations for those periods. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012:


	Three months ended	Six months ended
	June 30, 2012	June 30, 2012

Numerator
Income (loss) from continuing operations	$ 4,658,000	$ (3,264,000)

Preferred stock redemption costs	(382,000)	(382,000)
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests	124,000	301,000
Net earnings allocated to unvested shares	(295,000)	(448,000)
Income (loss) from continuing operations available for common shareholders	498,000	(10,931,000)
Results from discontinued operations, net of noncontrolling interests	443,000	2,379,000
Net income (loss) available for common shareholders, basic and diluted	$ 941,000	$ (8,552,000)

Denominator
Weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding	68,038,000	67,787,000

Earnings (loss) per common share, basic and diluted
Continuing operations	$ 0.01	$ (0.16)
Discontinued operations	$ 0.00	$ 0.03
	$ 0.01	$ (0.13)

Fully-diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of the Operating Partnership has been excluded from the numerator and the related OP Units have been excluded from the denominator for the purpose of calculating diluted EPS as there would have been no effect had such amounts been included. The weighted average number of OP Units outstanding was 462,000 and 1,415,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and 637,000 and 1,415,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, warrants for the purchase of OP Units (83,000 for all periods) have been excluded as they were anti-dilutive for all periods; such warrants expired on May 31, 2012.
