EARNINGS PER SHARE

NOTE 11 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is considered participating securities as preferred shareholders are entitled to participate with common stockholders on an as-converted basis in any distributions of assets by the Company under the terms of the Certificate of Designations. Under the two-class method, there is no change in the weighted average shares outstanding used between the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations as the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock represents the only dilutive share equivalents during the years ended April 30, 2026 and 2025. During the years ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company incurred income (losses) attributable to common shareholders. Accordingly, the effects of any common stock equivalent would be anti-dilutive during the period and thus are not included in the calculation of diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.

 

The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:

        
   Years Ended April 30, 
   2026   2025 
Earnings per share          
Net income (loss)  $(19,424,654)  $30,656,050 
Less: Accretion of discounts to redemption of convertible preferred stock   (3,503,222)   (3,193,404)
Less: Convertible preferred stock dividends   (278,496)   (1,129,759)
Less: Allocation of undistributed income to convertible preferred stock       (2,970,780)
Undistributed income (loss) available to common stockholders  $(23,206,372)  $23,362,107 
           
Weighted average shares outstanding used in basic earnings per share   8,378,291    7,329,596 
Net income (loss) per share basic and diluted  $(2.77)  $3.19 

 

The table below sets forth the potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as they would be anti-dilutive:

        
   Years Ended April 30, 
   2026   2025 
Excluded options   1,160,627    1,169,961 
Excluded warrants   55,819,519    18,570,847 
Series C convertible preferred stock   5,008,061     
Total excluded options and warrants   61,988,207    19,740,808 

 

Diluted earnings per share were calculated under both the if-converted and the two-class methods to determine the most dilutive amount for the common stock. The Company applied the treasury stock two-class method which assumes the securities remain in their current non-exercised or converted form and therefore, deemed anti-dilutive.
