Basic earnings/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) available to electroCore, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to electroCore, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. Stock options have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as they have been determined to be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As described in Note 14, Corporate Conversion and Equity, on June 21, 2018, electroCore, Inc. completed a Corporate Conversion as well as its initial public offering to, among other things, provide for a single class of common stock of electroCore Inc., in exchange for the previous Convertible Preferred Units and Common Units of the Company. This conversion changed the relative ownership of electroCore, Inc. such that retroactive application of the conversion to periods prior to the IPO for the purposes of calculating earnings (loss) per share would not be meaningful.

Prior to the Corporate Conversion, the Company’s ownership structure included several different types of LLC interests including preferred stock, common units and Profits Interests (see Note 14, Corporate Conversion and Equity). The Company analyzed the calculation of earnings per unit for periods prior to the Corporate Conversion and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the users of these consolidated financial statements. Therefore, earnings per share information has not been presented for periods prior to the Corporate Conversion on June 21, 2018. Thus, net loss attributable to electroCore, Inc. subsidiaries and affiliate shown below only includes the loss attributable to the three months ended March 31, 2019 and not for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as the Company was still an LLC at that time.

The following table sets forth the numerators and denominators used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share of the common stock:
