Note 3 – Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Basic loss per share excludes potential dilution of securities or other contracts to issue shares of common stock. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the income of the Company. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, basic loss per share is the same as diluted loss per share.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

 

    Three Months Ended March 31,  
    2021     2020  
Numerator                
Net loss from continuing operations   $ (3,667,328 )   $ (5,810,709 )
Deemed dividends     (50,358,149 )     -  
Net loss attributable to common stockholders, continuing operations   $ (54,025,477 )   $ (5,810,709 )
Net (loss) income from discontinued operations     (226,666 )     18,931  
Net loss available to common stockholders   $ (54,252,143 )   $ (5,791,778 )
                 
Denominator                
Basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding     248,823,935       981,322  
                 
Loss per share, basic and diluted                
Basic and diluted, continuing operations   $ (0.22 )   $ (5.92 )
Basic and diluted, discontinued operations   $ (0.00 )   $ 0.02  
Total basic and diluted   $ (0.22 )   $ (5.90 )

 

Diluted loss per share excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, the following potential common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive:

 

    Three Months Ended March 31,  
    2021     2020  
Warrants     13,830,704,953       63,458,536  
Convertible preferred stock     10,870,999,619       7,887,237  
Convertible debentures     770,100,000       3,063,478  
Stock options     26       26  
      25,471,804,598       74,409,277  

 

The terms of certain of the warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debentures issued by the Company provide for reductions in the per share exercise prices of the warrants and the per share conversion prices of the debentures and preferred stock (if applicable and subject to a floor in certain cases), in the event that the Company issues common stock or common stock equivalents (as that term is defined in the agreements) at an effective exercise/conversion price that is less than the then exercise/conversion price of the outstanding warrants, preferred stock or debentures, as the case may be. In addition, many of these equity-based securities contain exercise or conversion prices that vary based upon the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise/conversion (see Notes 7 and 11). These provisions have resulted in significant dilution of the Company’s common stock and have given rise to reverse splits of the Company’s common stock. As a result of these down round provisions, the potential common stock and common stock equivalents totalled 167.4 billion at June 2, 2021, as more fully discussed in Note 16. See Note 11 regarding a discussion of the number of shares of the Company’s authorized common stock.
