NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE [Abstract]

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

2. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

The Company presents basic and diluted income (loss) per common share using the two-class method which requires all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and unvested restricted common stock that include rights to non-forfeitable dividends (and, therefore, participate in undistributed income with common shareholders) to be included in computing income (loss) per common share. Under the two-class method, net income is reduced by the amount of dividends declared in the period for each class of common stock and participating security. The remaining undistributed income is then allocated to common stock and participating securities, based on their respective rights to receive dividends. Series A Preferred Stock and unvested restricted common stock contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends on an if-converted basis and on the same basis as common shares, respectively, and are considered participating securities. The Series A Preferred Stock and unvested restricted common stock are not included in the computation of basic income (loss) per common share in periods in which we have a net loss, as the Series A Preferred Stock and unvested restricted common stock are not contractually obligated to share in our net losses. However, the cumulative dividends on preferred stock for the period decreases the income or increases the net loss allocated to common shareholders unless the dividend is paid in the period. Basic income (loss) per common share has been computed by dividing net income (loss) allocated to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. The basic and diluted net income amounts are the same for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as a result of the anti-dilutive impact of the potentially dilutive securities.  The basic and diluted net loss amounts are the same for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as a result of the net loss and anti-dilutive impact of the potentially dilutive securities.

The Company uses the more dilutive method of calculating the diluted income per share by applying the more dilutive of either (a) the treasury stock method, if-converted method, or (b) the two-class method in its diluted income (loss) per common share calculation. Potentially dilutive shares are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and the assumed vesting of restricted stock. Potentially dilutive shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock are calculated using the if-converted method.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the diluted net income (loss) per share computations for the periods presented below:
