Note 17: Loss Per Share

Net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Basic weighted average common shares outstanding do not include shares of restricted stock that have not yet vested, although such shares are included as outstanding shares in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the additional common shares issuable in respect of restricted share awards, stock options and convertible preferred stock.

Potentially dilutive securities totaling 116,500 and 28,500 were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the 13 weeks ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021, respectively, because the effects were anti-dilutive based on the application of the treasury stock method. Additionally, 216,393 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, convertible into 4,635,539 of the Company’s common shares, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as, by agreement, these shares could not be converted as of April 2, 2022.
