The fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and the corresponding calculation of fully diluted earnings per share, include approximately 348,000 shares that would have been issued upon the conversion of our Convertible Notes as a result of the application of the if-converted method prescribed by the FASB ASC 260. There were no shares that would have been issued upon conversion of our Convertible Notes as of March 31, 2016.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, 538,000 stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the inclusion of such stock options would result in an antidilutive effect. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, 25,000 stock options were excluded.
