2. Loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock and is calculated using the treasury stock method for stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and deferred common stock. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the calculation in loss periods as their effects would be anti-dilutive.
