Note 2 – Net income (loss) per share

Basic net income (loss) per share represents net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. As a result of the net loss for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017 and three months ended April 30, 2016 diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same as basic weighted average shares outstanding, and do not include the potential common shares from stock options and unvested restricted stock because to do so would be antidilutive.

For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017 and the three months ended April 30, 2016, the number of potential common shares (“in the money options”) and unvested restricted stock excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share was 987,000, 865,000 and 444,000, respectively. For the nine months ended April 30, 2016, approximately 337,000 weighted average stock options were included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2017, the effect of zero and 165,000 of outstanding “out of the money” options to purchase common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2016, the effect of approximately 235,000 and 282,000 of outstanding “out of the money” options to purchase common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
