| 14. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE |
14. | NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE | | | | Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s potentially dilutive shares, which include outstanding common stock options, common stock warrants and restricted stock have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for all periods presented, as the result would be anti-dilutive. For the years presented, the gain on derivative instruments is not included in net loss available to common shareholders for purposes of computing dilutive loss per share because its effect is anti-dilutive. | | | | The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per-share computations: |
| | Year ended September 30, | | | | 2021 | | | 2020 | | Loss per share – basic | | | | | | | Net loss available to common shareholders - basic | | $ | (36,711,970 | ) | | $ | (30,276,978 | ) | Weighted average shares outstanding - basic | | | 40,662,137 | | | | 36,759,115 | | Basic loss per common share | | $ | (0.90 | ) | | $ | (0.82 | ) | | | | | | | | | | Loss per share – diluted | | | | | | | | | Net loss available to common shareholders - basic | | $ | (36,711,970 | ) | | $ | (30,276,978 | ) | Unrealized gain on derivatives (1) | | | (1,085,540 | ) | | | - | | Net loss available to common shareholders - diluted | | $ | (37,797,510 | ) | | $ | (30,276,978 | ) | | | | | | | | | | Weighted average shares outstanding - basic | | | 40,662,137 | | | | 36,759,115 | | Incremental shares underlying dilutive warrants (1) | | | 32,111 | | | | - | | Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted | | | 40,694,248 | | | | 36,759,115 | | Diluted loss per common share | | $ | (0.93 | ) | | $ | (0.82 | ) |
