Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the calculation of diluted net loss per share, the basic weighted average number of shares is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options determined using the treasury stock method. However, if it is anti-dilutive, the dilutive effect of the stock options is not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share. Stock options with exercise prices exceeding current market prices that were excluded from the computation of net loss per share amounted to approximately 981,000 shares and 1,087,000 shares for the three months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
