9.Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss less dividends payable on preferred stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

Potentially dilutive securities that are not included in the diluted net loss calculation are antidilutive, because the exercise prices of these securities are greater than the average market price of the stock during the respective periods. Due to the loss on common stock for the three months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014, the effect of outstanding stock-based awards was excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share as their effect was antidilutive.
