| NOTE 13: EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) have been calculated by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding during each respective period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential reduction in EPS using the treasury stock method to reflect the impact of common share equivalents if stock awards such as stock options and restricted stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Except for voting rights, the Class B Common Stock had identical rights and rewards as the Class A Common Stock and was automatically converted to Class A Common Stock in the event of a sale or a transfer by the owner. All outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock during 1999. Weighted average shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 have been determined as if the Merger described in Note 1 occurred as of the earliest date presented. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999: |
