Note 4. Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented, which was 3,803,331 for each period.

Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common    shares outstanding plus any weighted common equivalent shares determined to be outstanding during the period using the treasury method. The weighted common equivalent shares included in the calculation are related to stock options granted by Avalon where the weighted average market price of Avalon’s common stock for the period presented is greater than the option exercise price of the stock option. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding was 4,077,991. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding was 4,102,594 and 4,060,401, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the diluted per share amount is equal to the basic per share amount because Avalon was in a net loss position and as a result, such dilution would be considered anti-dilutive. However, assuming dilution, the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 4,132,344.
