For 2021 we had 600,000 weighted average shares not considered in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of the related stock options and Warrants were in excess of the fair market value of our Common Stock. For 2023 and 2022 we had 48,955 and 74,304 weighted average shares, respectively, not considered in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the Company recorded net losses.
