Note 5. Net Loss Per Common Share

 

The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the period.

 

The shares used in the computation of our basic and diluted earnings per share are reconciled as follows (rounded to thousands):

Three Months Ended

November 30,

2011

2010

Weighted average number of shares outstanding – basic

29,686,000

26,881,000

Dilutive effect of stock options and warrants

-

-

Weighted average number of shares outstanding – diluted

29,686,000

26,881,000

 

 

No stock options or warrants are included in the computation of diluted weighted average number of shares for the three months ended November 30, 2011 and 2010 because the effect would be anti-dilutive. As of November 30, 2011, we had outstanding options and warrants to purchase a total of 5,293,762 shares of our common stock that could have a future dilutive effect on the calculation of earnings per share.
