For 2013, 2012 and 2011, we had 1,700,000, 2,334,000 and 1,944,000 weighted average shares, respectively, not considered in the computation of diluted loss per common share because the stock option exercise price was in excess of the fair market value of our Common Stock. No stock options were considered in the computation of loss per common share in 2013, 2012 or 2011.
