(*)
|
Fully diluted earnings per share calculation and presentation are not required under GAAP for the second quarter of 2014, since the company did not have net profits. Hence, fully diluted earnings per share is not different than basic earnings per share for the second quarter of 2014. Had fully diluted earnings per share calculation and presentation been required for the second quarter of 2014, the company would have added 7 million shares underlying its capital notes, 4 million shares underlying options and warrants, 11 million possible shares underlying notes series F due December 2015 (unless repayable with cash), 11 million possible shares underlying notes series F due December 2016 (unless repayable with cash) and 6 million possible shares underlying Jazz notes due December 2018 (unless repayable with cash).
