Note 10 – Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share reflects, in periods in which it has a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants as well as non-vested restricted stock awards. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share excludes those options and warrants with an exercise price in excess of the average market price of the Company’s Common Stock during the periods presented.

 

The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share excludes outstanding options, warrants and non-vested restricted stock awards in periods where the exercise of such options and warrants or vesting of such restricted stock awards would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 there were 120,553 options with an exercise price below the average market price of the Company’s Common Stock during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, no options, warrants or restricted stock awards were included in the computation of diluted loss per common share as they would have been anti-dilutive for the relevant periods and, as a result, the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock used in the calculation of diluted loss per common share has not been adjusted for the effect of such options, warrants and non-vested restricted stock awards.

The reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share follows:
