NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE C-Earnings or loss per share Basic income or loss per share represents the net income or loss available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted income or loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the income or losses of the entity. The Company's operating history of losses has resulted in an average market price per common share that is substantially lower than the conversion prices on the existing convertible preferred stock, stock options, stock warrants, and convertible promissory notes of $1.00 to $5.00 per share. As a result of this situation, issuance of any additional common stock could result in a reduction of total common shares outstanding, which would have the effect of increasing the income per share on a diluted basis. Convertible preferred stock, stock options, stock warrants and convertible promissory notes are not considered in the calculation for the years ended June 30, 1999 and the three months ended September 30, 1999 as the impact of the potential common shares would be to either increase the income per share or decrease the loss per share. Therefore, diluted income or loss per share is equivalent to basic income or loss per share.
