NOTE 12 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”) that shared in the earnings of the entity. Diluted EPS also utilizes the treasury stock method which prescribes a theoretical buy back of shares from the theoretical proceeds of all options and warrants outstanding during the period. Since there are options and Warrants outstanding, fluctuations in the actual market price can have a variety of results for each period presented.

For Fiscal 2017, diluted loss per share from continuing operations is the same as basic earnings per share due to the inclusion of Common Stock, in the form of stock options and warrants, would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share. For Fiscal 2017, there were 954,500 Common Stock Equivalents which were in the money that were included in the fully diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations and net income computation. For Fiscal 2016 and 2015, diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share due to the inclusion of Common Stock, in the form of stock options and warrants, would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share. For Fiscal 2016 and 2015, there were Common Stock Equivalents in the amount of 430,636 and 337,186, respectively, which were in-the-money that were excluded in the earnings per share computation due to their dilutive effect. In addition, for Fiscal 2016 and 2015, there were Common Stock Equivalents in the amount of 403,000 and 420,500, respectively, which were out-of-the-money (the exercise price of the stock option was greater than the average market price for the period), that were excluded in the earnings per share computation due to their dilutive effect.
