There were
an aggregate of 897,000 and 786,000 potentially dilutive weighted-average shares from the Companys warrants and shares
of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.
These convertible securities were not considered in calculating diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2015, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
