There were no anti-dilutive securities for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014.  Options to purchase 730,642 and 749,667 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2013, respectively, because the inclusion of these options would be anti-dilutive.
