In accordance with ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share, ("ASC 260-10") we calculate the dilutive effect of convertible securities using the "if-converted" method based on the number of days our Convertible Notes were outstanding during the period. All of the Convertible Notes were retired in the second half of 2017.
