[1] | For the third and fourth quarters of 2018 and fourth quarter of 2017, the Company generated a net loss. Accordingly, the effect of all potential common share equivalents was anti-dilutive, and therefore all such shares were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding and diluted loss per share for this period. The amount of potential common share equivalents was 1,870 and 1,028 for the third and fourth quarters of 2018, respectively. The amount of potential common share equivalents was 2,373 for the fourth quarter of 2017.
