[1] As the Company incurred a net loss in 2011, all outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, stock warrants and issuable shares underlying the convertible debt have an anti-dilutive effect and therefore are excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Accordingly, basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are equal for such period.
