10. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income per diluted share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of shares of common stock to be issued upon exercise of stock options, the vesting of restricted shares and restricted stock units and the purchase of shares under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as calculated using the treasury stock method. All common equivalent shares were excluded from the calculation of net loss per diluted share in the three months ended September 30, 2017 due to their anti-dilutive effect. The components of net income (loss) per basic and diluted share are as follows:
