(a)
For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012, as a result of net earnings from continuing operations, dilutive options were determined using the treasury stock method, using an average share price of $2.48 and $3.16 per share, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012, the calculation did not include 927,000 and 590,600 stock options, respectively, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
