Note 3 – Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from the assumed exercise of stock options. During periods of net loss, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because they are anti-dilutive. Since the Company reported a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share is considered to be the same, as the impact of potential common shares is anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were 8,695,308 and 8,532,349 common stock share equivalents, for the three and nine months then ended, respectively, potentially issuable from the exercise of stock options that could dilute basic earnings per share in the future.
