(1) As a result of the impairment charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 which caused a loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended May 31, 2015, shares from stock based compensation plans are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, as the result would be anti-dilutive.
