Basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share were calculated using the following (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	2015		2014		2015		2014
Net (loss) income	$	(3,404)	$	4,097	$	(7,201)	$	(3,314)
Weighted average number of shares outstanding:
Basic		18,916		18,444		18,809		18,424
Dilutive effect of stock-based equity awards		-		44		-		-
Diluted		18,916		18,488		18,809		18,424

On August 1, 2014, the 1,000 shares of Rightside common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Separation were automatically reclassified as and became 18.4 million shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Basic and diluted earnings per share and the weighted average number of shares outstanding were retrospectively updated to reflect these transactions.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, we excluded 14,800shares of restricted stock units and stock optionsfrom the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, there were no antidilutive shares of restricted stock units and stock options. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we excluded26,100and 44,300shares of restricted stock units and stock options from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. The $15.05 exercise price per share on the stock warrants related to the Tennenbaum Credit Facility did not have a dilutive effect for any period presented.
