I'll see if I can find a link for you to get you started.

Here's where you can get started:

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/eps.asp

Earnings per Share - EPS
The portion of a company's profit allocated to each outstanding share of common stock. Calculated as:

Companies usually use a weighted average number of shares outstanding over the reporting term.

This is the single most popular variable in dictating a share's price. EPS indicates the profitability of a company.

The diluted EPS means that the outstanding shares include any convertibles or warrants outstanding.

=====================



Got it, yet?

So pointing to a PR claiming 2.3 million referring to an earnings PERIOD doesn't contradict the fact of 6,176,035 shares outstand currently.
