6. Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as convertible preferred stock, convertible notes payable, warrants, stock options, and unvested restricted stock, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. In computing the basic and diluted net loss per share applicable to common stockholders, the weighted average number of shares remains the same for both calculations due to the fact that when a net loss exists, dilutive shares are not included in the calculation. These potentially dilutive securities are more fully described in Note 8.

Our outstanding stock options, which were 1,780,222 and 1,410,712 as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as they would be antidilutive.  As of June 30, 2016, we had no other potentially dilutive securities.
