For the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share, weighted average potential common shares do not include stock options with an exercise price greater than the average fair value of the Company’s common stock for the period, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.  Potential common shares have not been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive.  As such, the numerator and the denominator used in computing both basic and diluted net loss per share are the same.  Stock options to purchase 2,893,000 shares of common stock were outstanding on August 31, 2012, but were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share, because the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive.  Stock options to purchase 1,792,000 shares of common stock were outstanding on August 31, 2011, but were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share, because the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive.
