2.                   Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net loss per common share ("Diluted EPS") is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average dilutive potential common shares outstanding.  The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect.

Potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants and options, shares issuable from restricted stock grants, and shares issuable pursuant to convertible notes and convertible Series D and Series E preferred stock.  The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the periods indicated:

The effect of dilutive securities on the numerator for purposes of calculating diluted loss per common share is related to the convertible debt and related warrants due to the reduction of the gain on derivatives liability for warrants that were in the money.

 

As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, there were certain outstanding potential common shares that were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive for the three and six months then ended.  The potential common shares outstanding consist of the following:
