Common Stock And Earnings Per Share

NOTE H  COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for each period. Shares that have been repurchased and retired during the periods specified below have been included in the calculation of the number of weighted-average shares that are outstanding for the calculation of basic earnings per share based on the time they were outstanding in any period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on shares that are outstanding (computed under basic EPS) and on potentially dilutive shares. Shares that are included in the diluted earnings per share calculations under the treasury stock method include equity awards that are in-the-money but have not yet been exercised.    



The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated:

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company repurchased and retired 865 shares, for $50,000 under the Companys share repurchase plan.



During the nine months ended October 1, 2016,  and September 30, 2017,  the Company repurchased and retired 1,106 shares, and 865 shares for $64,610 and $50,000, respectively under the Companys share repurchase plan.    The excess of the repurchase price over par value is allocated between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings on a pro-rata basis.  The purchase of shares under this plan reduces the number of shares outstanding in the above calculations.



As of September 30, 2017, the remaining approved repurchase amount under the stock repurchase plan was $50,000.  There currently is no expiration date on the remaining approved repurchase amount and no requirement for future share repurchases.
