(A) Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the additional dilutive effect, if any, of common stock equivalents during each period.
(B) For the purposes of computing income per share of common stock for periods prior to the spin-off on November 6, 2014, the Company treated the common shares issued in connection with the spin-off as if they had been outstanding for all periods presented. All 7.5 million outstanding options were excluded from the diluted share calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
(C) The three months ended June 30, 2015 includes a dividend of $15,276, or $0.23 per common share, which is attributable to the first quarter and was announced on April 6, 2015.

The tables above set forth reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. A non-GAAP financial measure is a measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are not excluded from or included in the most comparable GAAP measure.

We believe that net income (loss), as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement. However, we consider certain non-GAAP financial measures to be useful supplemental measures of our operating performance.

We believe that Normalized Funds from Operations, or Normalized FFO, is useful because it allows investors, analysts and our management to compare our operating performance to the operating performance of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis without having to account for differences caused by period specific items and events such as transaction costs. In addition, we believe Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, and normalized FAD are useful as supplemental measures of our ability to fund dividend payments.

The non-GAAP financial measures we present may not be identical to those presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions. You should not consider these measures as alternatives to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our financial performance or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as measures of our liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs. In order to facilitate a clear understanding of our consolidated historical operating results, you should examine these measures in conjunction with net income as presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
