4. Net Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share have been calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Air T, Inc. stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, shares issuable under employee and director stock options were considered potential common shares and were included in the weighted average common shares unless they were anti-dilutive.

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share is as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,				Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2016		2015		2016			2015
Net earnings (loss) attributable to Air T, Inc. Stockholders	$	856,105	$	2,971,340	$	(1,751,648	)	$	6,029,260
