Net Loss Per Share

Note 2.  Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period without consideration of potential common shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding including the dilutive effect of stock awards as determined under the treasury stock method. In periods when the Company has a net loss, stock awards are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect.

The following potentially dilutive stock awards were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because they would have been anti-dilutive:
