2.        (Loss)/Earnings Per Common Share

 

The Company calculates its basic and diluted (loss)/earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.”  Basic (loss)/earnings per share is computed based upon weighted-average shares outstanding during the period.  Dilutive (loss)/earnings per share is computed consistently with the basic computation while giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares and common share equivalents that were outstanding during the period. The Company uses the treasury stock method to reflect the potential dilutive effect of unvested stock awards, warrants, and unexercised options.  The weighted average shares outstanding were calculated as follows:

The Company was in a net loss position for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and therefore excluded approximately 10.1 million and 4.8 million, respectively, shares underlying stock options and warrants, 6.7 million and 13.8 million, respectively, shares of restricted stock, and 6.6 million and 6.2 million, respectively, shares underlying restricted stock units (“RSUs”) from its computation of dilutive loss per share because they were anti-dilutive.
