The fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the corresponding calculation of fully diluted earnings per share, include approximately 299,000 and 200,000 shares that would have been issued upon the conversion of our convertible subordinated notes as a result of the application of the if-converted method prescribed by the FASB ASC 260, respectively. There were no shares for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 233,000 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 that would have been issued upon conversion under the if-converted method.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, no 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2015, 584,000 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.
