I believe the answer to the discrepancy between diluted and basic EPS can be found on page 16. It looks to me like they have to write down the convertible debt from the PIPEs with Pope as if they had to repay the loan incrementally. It's for honesty's sake and probably part of SOX compliance. SO this quarter they had to write down $4,323,418.00 and add in the 629,481 shares that could be added to the float if Pope exercised their warrants.
