The following table reconciles the numerator and the denominator used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for three and nine months ended September 30, 2020:

 

    Three Months Ended

    Nine Months Ended

Numerator                
Net income, as reported   $ 15,731,532     $ 29,671,348  
                 
Denominator                
Weighted average shares, basic     28,084,267       26,172,439  
Dilutive effect of stock options and warrants     1,513,525       1,449,092  
Shares used to compute diluted earnings per share     29,597,792       27,621,531  
                 
Basic earnings per share   $ 0.56     $ 1.13  
Diluted earnings per share   $ 0.53     $ 1.07  

 

50,000 options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

As a result of incurring a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, no potentially dilutive securities are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because such effect would be anti-dilutive. The Company had potentially dilutive securities as of September 30, 2019, consisting of: (i) 2,021,817 options, (ii) 953,535 warrants and (iii) 2,133,333 for issued and outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock.
