Basic loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, all shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt and the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants were antidilutive, and, therefore, not included in the computation of diluted loss per share.

| (1) | The 2025 Senior Secured Convertible Notes with an outstanding principal balance of $1,070,000 as of December 31, 2025 are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation. The notes are convertible at a 10% discount to the five-day volume-weighted average price preceding conversion; as the conversion price is variable, the number of shares issuable upon conversion is indeterminate and has been excluded from the table above. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the holder of the Senior Secured Convertible Note exercised its right to convert $1,070,000 of the outstanding balance of the Senior Secured Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock. There are no remaining balances under the Senior Secured Convertible Notes after consideration of such conversions. |
About Earnings Per Share Disclosures
The earnings per share disclosure breaks down the calculation from net income to both basic and diluted EPS, revealing the full impact of a company's capital structure on per-share economics. The reconciliation between basic and diluted share counts exposes how many stock options, RSUs, convertible securities, and warrants are potentially dilutive to existing shareholders.
Key signals: a widening gap between basic and diluted shares indicates growing dilution from equity compensation or convertible instruments. Anti-dilutive securities excluded from the diluted calculation deserve attention — they represent latent dilution that will materialize if the stock price rises. Watch for the effect of share buybacks on per-share metrics: EPS growth driven primarily by repurchases rather than income growth signals weakening fundamentals. Compare year-over-year changes in the diluted share count against equity compensation expense to assess whether management is effectively managing dilution.
