2.	EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”) AND DIVIDENDS

Basic net income (loss) (or earnings) per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding restricted stock awards for which the restrictions have not lapsed. Diluted net income (loss) (or earnings) per share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, after giving effect to the potential dilution, if applicable, from the assumed lapse of restrictions on restricted stock and deferred stock unit awards, and from shares of common stock resulting from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options. Common shares issuable in connection with the award of performance-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are excluded from the calculation of EPS until the RSUs’ performance conditions are achieved and the shares in respect of the RSUs become issuable (see Note 13).

The following tables summarize the Basic EPS and Diluted EPS calculations (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended
	August 4, 2018								July 29, 2017
	Net Loss			Shares		EPS			Net Loss			Shares		EPS

Basic and Diluted EPS	$	(4,025	)		13,823	$	(0.29	)	$	(2,774	)		13,793	$	(0.20	)

	Six Months Ended
	August 4, 2018								July 29, 2017
	Net Loss			Shares		EPS			Net Loss			Shares		EPS

Basic and Diluted EPS	$	(3,811	)		13,831	$	(0.28	)	$	(3,916	)		13,771	$	(0.28	)

In addition to performance-based RSUs, for the three and six months ended August 4, 2018 stock options and unvested restricted stock totaling approximately 538,000 and 983,000 shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS as their effect would have been antidilutive. Stock options and unvested restricted stock totaling approximately 1,696,000 and 1,142,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding as of August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, respectively, but were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS for the three and six months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017 due to the Company’s net loss. Had the Company reported a profit for the three and six months ended August 4, 2018 and for the three months ended July 29, 2017 the weighted average number of dilutive shares outstanding for computation of Diluted EPS would have been approximately 14,284,000, 14,124,000, 13,814,000 and 13,795,000 shares, respectively.

During the six months ended August 4, 2018 and July 29, 2017, $4,000 and $4,000, respectively, of previously declared and undistributed dividends, for which payment was subject to completion of service requirements under restricted stock awards, were forfeited back to the Company in connection with the cancellation of the awards.
