LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

H. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders 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 unvested restricted stock are not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted loss per-share computations:
