NOTE 16 EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net income per share is computed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS 128”). Under SFAS 128, basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available for common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income available for common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including potential common shares from conversion of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method, if dilutive.

The following table sets forth basic and diluted net income per share computational data for the periods presented (in millions, except per share amounts):
