Note 3 – Net 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. The dilutive effect of potential common shares, consisting of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock, is determined using the treasury stock method. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 do not include the potential common shares from stock options and unvested restricted stock because to do so would have been antidilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share is the same during these periods.


During the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 the potential number of shares issued from exercise of “in the money” stock options, net of shares repurchased with the option exercise proceeds and the potential shares from restricted stock awards was 0 and 66,000, respectively, which are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share.. For the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, the effect of approximately 785,000 and 1,075,000 respectively, of outstanding “out of the money” options to purchase common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
