Shareholders' Equity

3 Months Ended

May 31, 2021

Note 8. – Shareholders’ Equity

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Shares issued during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated in a manner consistent with that of basic earnings (loss) per share while giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three-month periods ended May 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands, except per share data):


	Net Loss			Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding		Loss Per Share
Three months ended May 31, 2021
Basic	$	(745	)		5,878	$	(0.13	)
Effect of dilution:

Diluted	$	(745	)		5,878	$	(0.13	)


Three months ended May 31, 2020

Diluted	$	(8	)		5,878	$	(0.00	)

Stock options, debentures, and other liabilities convertible into 200,000 shares, of the Company’s common stock were anti-dilutive and, therefore, were excluded from the May 31, 2021 and 2020 diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations. For the three-month period ended May 31, 2021 and May 31, 2020, there was no expense related to share-based compensation as all options were fully vested. No options were granted for the three month period ending May 31, 2021 or for the three month period ended May 31, 2020.
