5.	Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share excludes any dilutive effects of stock options, warrants, and convertible preferred stock. In periods where they are anti-dilutive, such amounts are excluded from the calculations of dilutive earnings per share. Net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests are excluded from loss from continuing operations in the below calculation in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.”
