NOTE 14 – Net Income (Loss) Per Share:

The Company’s basic net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share includes the effect of the Company’s outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights, unvested shares of restricted stock and unvested performance shares, if the inclusion of these items is dilutive.

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2023		2022
Net income (loss) used in the computation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands)	$	8,772	$	(31,970	)
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic		15,968,199		15,764,859
Dilutive common stock equivalents		191,109		-
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted		16,159,308		15,764,859
Net income (loss) per share:
Basic	$	0.55	$	(2.03	)
Diluted	$	0.54	$	(2.03	)

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding excludes shares of common stock of 400,381 for the year ended December 31, 2022 as their inclusion would have been antidilutive given the Company’s net loss.

Awards to purchase 1,113,935 and 687,117 shares of common stock with weighted average exercise prices of $15.95 and $21.06, were outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share because the awards’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares.
