[1] Net loss per share was calculated based on basic shares outstanding due to the anti-dilutive effect on the inclusion of common stock equivalent shares.

[2] For the years ended January 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, approximately 180,000, 119,000 and 56,000 shares of common stock equivalents, respectively, were excluded in the computation of diluted net income per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
