Note 8 – Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share for continuing and discontinued operations are computed by dividing the respective net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share 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 that shared in the earnings of the entity. Diluted loss per share also utilize 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. Options and warrants outstanding to acquire shares of our Common Stock at March 31, 2020 and 2019 were 3,082,000 and 2,950,000, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, dilutive loss per share were the same as basic earnings per share due to the exclusion of Common Stock in the form of stock options (“Common Stock Equivalents”), which in a net loss position would have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, there were 3,082,000 potential dilutive Common Stock Equivalents that were excluded from the loss per share computation as a consequence of their anti-dilutive effect. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were 2,950,000 potential dilutive Common Stock Equivalents that were excluded from the loss per share computation as a consequence of their anti-dilutive effect.
