Loss

Per Common Share

The Company computes earnings per share using the

two

-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Restricted stock granted by the Company is considered a participating security since it contains a non-forfeitable right to dividends.

Our potentially dilutive securities include potential common shares related to our stock options and restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Diluted earnings per share excludes the impact of common shares related to our stock options in periods in which the option exercise price is greater than the average market price of our common stock for the period. All potential common shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the years ended

December

31,

2019

and

2018

because the effect of inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

A reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted loss per common share is as follows (in thousands):

	Year ended December 31,
	2019			2018
Loss attributable to stockholders:
Net loss as reported	$	(3,949	)	$	(3,505	)
Less distributed and undistributed earnings allocable to restricted award holders		0			0
Net loss allocable to common stockholders	$	(3,949	)	$	(3,505	)

Loss per common share attributable to stockholders:
Basic	$	(0.19	)	$	(0.17	)
Diluted	$	(0.19	)	$	(0.17	)
Weighted average shares outstanding – basic		20,865			20,512
Weighted average additional shares assuming conversion of potential common shares		0			0
Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted		20,865			20,512
