weighted average shares outstanding.

Diluted earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income by the 
weighted average shares and assumed incremental shares. Assumed incremental 
shares were computed using the treasury stock method.  The average common 
stock market price for the period was used to determine the number of 
incremental shares.
