3.Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share

Basic net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net (loss) income per common share reflects the maximum dilution, based on the average price of the Company’s common stock during each period, and is computed similar to basic net (loss) income per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive stock options had been exercised.

Basic and diluted net (loss) income per share are as follows:
