For 2015, 2014 and 2013, we had 6,620,000, 3,121,000 and 1,700,000 weighted average shares, respectively, not considered in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share because the exercise prices of the related stock options and Warrants were in excess of the fair market value of our Common Stock.
