Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

5. INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

We compute basic income (loss) per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The Company has two categories of dilutive potential common shares: the Series A preferred shares issued in May 2011 in connection with the registered direct offering and shares issuable upon exercise of options. We compute diluted earnings per share using the if-converted method for preferred stock and the treasury stock method for stock options, respectively.

Shares issuable upon exercise of options, warrants for 799 common shares and 592 common shares issuable upon conversion of preferred shares were not considered in computing diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, 150 preferred shares were converted to common shares via cashless conversion resulting in no effect on the diluted net income per share calculation.

The following table reconciles our computation of basic income (loss) per share to diluted income (loss) per share:
