Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

10. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reported periods. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur under the treasury stock method if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised, except in loss periods where the effect would be antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, approximately 2,000 and 516,000 common shares, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, since we reported a loss from continuing operations, all potential shares totaling 499,000 and 572,000, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, had we reported income from continuing operations, approximately 477,000 and 445,000 common shares, respectively, would have been excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

The reconciliation of the amounts used in the basic and diluted EPS computation was as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
