Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

10. Per Share Data

The Company computes, presents and discloses earnings per share in accordance with the authoritative guidance, which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share of entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. The objective of basic EPS is to measure the performance of an entity over the reporting period by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding. The objective of diluted EPS is consistent with that of basic EPS, except that it also gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.

The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted loss per share computation:

		*Three Months Ended September 30,*								*Nine Months Ended September 30,*
		*2021*				*2020*				*2021*				*2020*
Net (loss)/income for basic earnings per share		$	(3,113,358	)		$	24,187,957			$	(3,756,262	)		$	36,180,584
Less: Change in fair value of warrants			—				—				294,548				—
Net (loss)/income, adjusted for change in fair value of warrants for diluted earnings per share		$	(3,113,358	)		$	24,187,957			$	(4,050,810	)		$	36,180,584
Weighted-average shares			74,840,846				78,080,461				75,822,713				79,880,493
Effect of potential common shares			—				87,609				812,250				171,285
Weighted-average shares: diluted			74,840,846				78,168,070				76,634,963				80,051,778
(Loss)/income per share: basic		$	(0.04	)		$	0.31			$	(0.05	)		$	0.45
(Loss)/income per share: diluted		$	(0.04	)		$	0.31			$	(0.05	)		$	0.45

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of in-the-money options, unvested restricted stock and unreleased restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of options is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options, the average amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the award becomes deductible, are collectively assumed to be used to repurchase shares. Warrants were presumed to be cash-settled and therefore excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 because the net effect of their inclusion, including the elimination of the impact in the operating results of the change in fair value of the warrants, would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the weighted average number of shares under the warrant excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share were 1,205,829 and 1,146,898, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred losses and as a result, the equity instruments listed below were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as the effect of the exercise, conversion or vesting of such instruments would have been anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of equity instruments excluded consists of:

		*Three Months Ended September 30,*				*Nine Months Ended September 30,*
		*2021*				*2021*
Warrants			1,047,296				—
Stock options			150,000				153,055
Restricted stock units			204,591				181,730
