LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

3 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2014

2.LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the treasury stock method to reflect the assumed issuance of common shares for all potentially dilutive securities, which consist of outstanding stock options. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Options to purchase 621,250 and 837,250 shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted shares for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
