EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

12 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2015

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 807,250 shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted shares for fiscal years 2015 and 2014, respectively, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Reconciliations between net earnings (loss) attributable to Barnwell stockholders and common shares outstanding of the basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share computations are detailed in the following tables:
