12. | Net Income (Loss) per Share Attributable to Sterling Common Stockholders
Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to Sterling common stockholders is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Sterling common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share attributable to Sterling common stockholders is the same as basic net income (loss) per share attributable to Sterling common stockholders but includes dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method. The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per common share computations for net income attributable to Sterling common stockholders (amounts in thousands, except per share data):

In accordance with the treasury stock method, 135,879 shares of restricted stock and stock options were excluded from the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as the Company incurred a loss during this period and the impact of such shares would have been antidilutive.
