Shareholders' Equity

Note 9. – 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 and six month periods ended August 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands, except per share data):

Stock options, debentures, and other liabilities convertible into 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were anti-dilutive and, therefore, were excluded for the six months ended August 31, 2022 and 2021 diluted loss per share calculations. For the three-month and six -month periods ended August 31, 2022 and August 31, 2021, there was no expense related to share-based compensation as all options were fully vested. No options were granted for the six- month period ending August 31, 2022 or for the six -month period ended August 31, 2021.
