NOTE 5 – EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported earnings available to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS also includes the effect of stock options that would be dilutive. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators reflected in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the periods ended:

All potential common stock equivalents that have an anti-dilutive effect are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share). For the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2023 there were anti-dilutive stock options and warrants of 567,500 and 567,500, respectively, none of which were included in the earnings per share calculations above.
