NOTE 11: NET LOSS PER SHARE 

  The Company follows the two-class method when computing net loss per share as the Company has issued warrants and preferred stock that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method determines net loss per share for each class of common and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed.

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. In addition, in computing the dilutive effect of convertible securities, the numerator is adjusted to add back any convertible preferred dividends. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares that would have been outstanding during the period assuming the issuance of common shares for all potential dilutive common shares outstanding. Potential common shares consist of potential future exercises of outstanding stock options and common stock warrants. Because the inclusion of potential common shares would be anti-dilutive for all periods presented, they have been excluded from the calculation.

  The Company’s common stock warrants and preferred stock contractually entitles the holders of such securities to participate in dividends but do not contractually require the holders of such securities to participate in losses of the Company. Accordingly, in periods in which the Company reports a net loss, such losses are not allocated to such participating securities. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss attributable to common stockholders, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021.

The following table summarizes the Company’s calculation of net loss per common share:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2022			2021
Numerator
Net loss	$	(26,960	)	$	(20,606	)
Denominator
Weighted average common shares outstanding used to compute net loss per share, basic and diluted		126,624			116,950
Net loss per share of common stock, basic and diluted:	$	(0.21	)	$	(0.18	)

The following table sets forth the weighted average number of potential common shares excluded from the calculation of net loss per diluted share, because including them would be anti-dilutive:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2022		2021
Options to purchase common stock		12,990		9,036
Series B convertible preferred stock		165		171
Warrants to purchase common stock		21,826		24,144
		34,981		33,351
