ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of business Hyperdynamics Corporation (“Hyperdynamics,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is a Delaware corporation formed in March 1996. Hyperdynamics has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, SCS Corporation Ltd (SCS), a Cayman corporation, and HYD Resources Corporation (HYD), a Texas corporation. Through SCS and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SCS Guinea SARL (SCSG), which is a Guinea limited liability company formed under the laws of the Republic of Guinea (“Guinea”) located in Conakry, Guinea, Hyperdynamics focuses on oil and gas exploration offshore the coast of West Africa. Our exploration efforts are pursuant to a Hydrocarbon Production Sharing Contract, as amended (the “PSC”). We refer to the rights granted under the PSC as the “Concession.” We began operations in oil and gas exploration, seismic data acquisition, processing, and interpretation in late fiscal 2002. As used herein, references to “Hyperdynamics,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Hyperdynamics Corporation and our subsidiaries, including SCS Corporation Ltd (“SCS”). The rights in the Concession offshore Guinea are held by SCS. Status of our Business We have no source of operating revenue and there is no assurance when we will, if ever. On September 30, 2015, we had $15.7 million in cash, and $0.6 million in liabilities, all of which are current liabilities. We plan to use our existing cash to fund our general corporate needs and our expenditures associated with the Concession, including our share of future capital expenditures that are not paid by Tullow Guinea Ltd (“Tullow”) on our behalf. We have no other material commitments. On December 31, 2012, we closed a sale to Tullow, a subsidiary of Tullow Oil plc, of a 40% gross interest in the Concession. We now hold a 37% participating interest, with Dana Petroleum, PLC (“Dana”), which is a subsidiary of the Korean National Oil Corporation, holding the remaining 23% interest in the Concession. We refer to Tullow, Dana and us in the Concession as the “Consortium”. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement (“Tullow SPA”) between Tullow and us, Tullow agreed to pay all of our participating interest share of expenditures associated with joint operations in the Concession up to a gross expenditure cap of $100 million incurred during the carry period that began on September 21, 2013. We will be responsible for our 37% interest share of the cost in excess of the remaining gross carry amount. Additionally, Tullow agreed to pay our participating interest share of future costs for the drilling of an appraisal of the initial exploration well, if drilled, up to a gross expenditure cap of $100 million. An exploration well is required to be commenced by the end of September 2016 and reach a minimum depth of 2,500 meters below seabed to satisfy the September 2013-2016 work requirement in the PSC. Failure to comply with the drilling and other obligations of the PSC could subject us to risk of loss of the Concession, and continued delays could adversely affect the ability to explore the Concession and reduces the attractiveness of the Concession to prospective industry participants and financing sources. The continued absence of petroleum operations affects the value of the Concession as the second exploration period of the Concession ends in September 2016. The second and final exploration period may be extended with two months’ notice to the Minister of Mines and Geology of Guinea for up to one additional year beyond September 2016 to allow the completion of a well in process and for up to two additional years to allow the completion of the appraisal of any discovery made. The timing and amount of our cash outflows are dependent on a number of factors including: a negative outcome related to any of our legal proceedings, inability to resume petroleum operations or drilling delays due to the Ebola epidemic or other factors, well costs exceeding our carry, or if we have unfavorable well results. As a result, absent cash inflows, there is substantial doubt as to whether we will have adequate capital resources to meet our current obligations as they become due and therefore be able to continue as a going concern. Our ability to meet our current obligations as they become due over the next twelve-months, and to be able to continue exploration, will depend on obtaining additional resources through sales of additional interests in the Concession, equity or debt financings, or through other means, although no assurance can be given that any of these actions can be completed. Principles of consolidation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hyperdynamics and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted. Use of estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses at the balance sheet date and for the period then ended. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, such estimates and assumptions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from such estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions underlying these financial statements include: · estimates in the calculation of share-based compensation expense, · estimates made in our income tax calculations, · estimates in the assessment of current litigation claims against the company, and · estimates and assumptions involved in our assessment of unproved oil and gas properties for impairment. We are subject to legal proceedings, claims, and liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of business. We accrue for losses when such losses are considered probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Cash and cash equivalents Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. For the periods presented, we maintained all of our cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, exceed the federally insured limits. Earnings per share Basic loss per common share has been computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. In period of earnings, diluted earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus weighted-average dilutive potential common shares. Diluted earnings per share calculations assume, as of the beginning of the period, exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. All potential dilutive securities, including potentially dilutive options, warrants and convertible securities, if any, were excluded from the computation of dilutive net loss per common share for the three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, as their effects are antidilutive due to our net loss for those periods. Stock options to purchase approximately 1.1 million common shares at an average exercise price of $7.23 and warrants to purchase approximately 0.03 million shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $12.64 were outstanding at September 30, 2015. Using the treasury stock method, had we had net income, no common shares attributable to our outstanding stock options would have been included in the fully diluted earnings per share for the three month period ended September 30 , 2015. There would have been no dilution attributable to our outstanding warrants to purchase common shares. Stock options to purchase approximately 1.0 million common shares at an average exercise price of $10.11 and warrants to purchase approximately 0.03 million shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $11.69 were outstanding at September 30, 2014. Using the treasury stock method, had we had net income, approximately 1,500 common shares attributable to our outstanding stock options would have been included in the fully diluted earnings per share for the three month period ended September 30, 2014. There would have been no dilution attributable to our outstanding warrants to purchase common shares. Had we had net income, approximately 16,500 common shares attributable to our unvested restricted stock awards would have been included in the fully diluted earnings per share for the three month period ended September 30, 2014. Contingencies We are subject to legal proceedings, claims and liabilities. We accrue for losses associated with legal claims when such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted as additional information becomes available or circumstances change. Legal fees are charged to expense as they are incurred. See Note 6 for more information on legal proceedings. Financial instruments The accounting standards (ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”) regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement, and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures.

INVESTMENT IN OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
INVESTMENT IN OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES	2. INVESTMENT IN OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES Investment in oil and gas properties consists entirely of our Guinea Concession in offshore West Africa. We owned a 77% participating interest in our Guinea Concession prior to the sale of a 40% gross interest to Tullow which closed on December 31, 2012. We now own a 37% interest in the Concession. We follow the “Full-Cost” method of accounting for oil and natural gas property and equipment costs. Under this method, internal costs incurred that were directly identified with exploration, development, and acquisition activities undertaken by us for our own account, and which were not related to production, general corporate overhead, or similar activities, are capitalized. Capitalization of internal costs was discontinued April 1, 2013 when Tullow became the operator. Geological and geophysical costs incurred that are directly associated with specific unproved properties are capitalized in “Unproved properties excluded from amortization” and evaluated as part of the total capitalized costs associated with a prospect. The cost of unproved properties not being amortized is assessed to determine whether such properties have been impaired. In determining whether such costs should be impaired, we evaluate current drilling results and available geological and geophysical information. No reserves have been attributed to the concession. The following table provides detail of total capitalized costs for our Guinea concession which remain unproved and unevaluated and are excluded from amortization as of September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015 (in thousands): September 30, 2015 June 30, 2015 Oil and Gas Properties: Unproved properties not subject to amortization $ $ During the three month period ended September 30, 2015, our oil and gas property balance increased by $20 thousand as a result of additional geological and geophysical costs incurred. Evaluation activities of these unproved properties are expected to be completed within the next year. Sale of Interest to Tullow On December 31, 2012, we closed a sale to Tullow of a 40% gross interest in the Concession. As consideration, we received $27 million from Tullow as reimbursement of our past costs in the Concession and, as additional consideration, Tullow agreed to: (i) pay all of our participating interest share of future costs associated with joint operations in the Concession, up to a gross expenditure cap of $100 million incurred during the carry period that began on September 21, 2013; and (ii) pay our participating interest share of costs associated with an appraisal well of the initial exploration well, if drilled, subject to a gross expenditure cap on the appraisal well of $100 million. Tullow will continue to pay our costs, subject to the gross expenditure cap of $100 million, until 90 days following the date on which the rig contracted to drill the exploration well moves off the well location. We are responsible for our share of any costs exceeding the gross expenditure cap of $100 million per well. The $27 million payment was received by us on December 31, 2012 and was recorded as a reduction in unproved oil and gas properties, net of transaction costs of approximately $3.3 million. In connection with the transaction, SCS, Tullow and Dana entered into a Joint Operating Agreement Novation and Amendment Agreement reflecting that as a result of the sale to Tullow, the interest of the parties in the Concession are SCS 37%, Dana 23%, and Tullow 40%, and Tullow agreed to be bound by the PSC and the Joint Operating Agreement previously entered into between SCS and Dana. Tullow also assumed all the respective liabilities and obligations of SCS in respect of the assigned 40% interest. SCS and Tullow executed a Deed of Assignment. The Assignment was approved by Guinea’s Ministry of Mines and Geology by issuing an Arrêté on December 27, 2012 which formally authorized our assignment of a participating interest to Tullow. SCS, Dana and Tullow elected Tullow as the Operator of the Concession beginning April 1, 2013.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION	4. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION On February 18, 2010, at our annual meeting of stockholders, the board of directors and stockholders approved the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). Prior to the 2010 stockholder meeting, we had two stock award plans: the Stock and Stock Option Plan, which was adopted in 1997 (“1997 Plan”) and the 2008 Restricted Stock Award Plan (“2008 Plan”). In conjunction with the approval of the 2010 Plan at the annual meeting, the 1997 Plan and the 2008 Plan were terminated as of February 18, 2010. Subsequently, on February 17, 2012, the 2010 Plan was amended to increase the maximum shares issuable under the 2010 Plan. The 2010 Plan provides for the grants of shares of common stock, restricted stock units or incentive stock options and/or nonqualified stock options to purchase our common stock to selected employees, directors, officers, agents, consultants, attorneys, vendors and advisors of ours’ or of any parent or subsidiary thereof. Shares of common stock, options, or restricted stock can only be granted under the 2010 Plan within 10 years from the effective date of February 18, 2010. A maximum of 1,250,000 shares are issuable under the 2010 Plan and at September 30, 2015, 84,544 shares remained available for issuance. The 2010 Plan provides a means to attract and retain the services of participants and also to provide added incentive to such persons by encouraging stock ownership in the Company. Plan grants are administered by the Compensation Committee, who has substantial discretion to determine which persons, amounts, time, price, exercise terms, and restrictions, if any. Additionally, from time to time, we issue non-compensatory warrants, such as warrants issued to investors. Stock Options The fair value of stock option awards is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. For market based stock option awards, those options where vesting terms are dependent on achieving a specified stock price, the fair value was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with inputs adjusted for the probability of the vesting criteria being met and the median expected term for each grant as determined by utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation. Expected volatility is based solely on historical volatility of our common stock over the period commensurate with the expected term of the stock options. We rely solely on historical volatility as we do not have traded options. The expected term calculation for stock options is based on the simplified method as described in the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin number 107. We use this method because we do not have sufficient historical information on exercise patterns to develop a model for expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U. S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for an instrument with a maturity that is commensurate with the expected term of the stock options. The dividend yield rate of zero is based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and we do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock during the expected term of the options. The following table provides information about options during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014: 2015 2014 Number of options granted - Compensation expense recognized $ $ Weighted average grant-date fair value of options outstanding $ $ The following table details the significant assumptions used to compute the fair values of employee and director stock options granted during the three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014: 2015 2014 Risk-free interest rate - % % Dividend yield - % % Volatility factor - % % Expected life (years) - Summary information regarding employee and director stock options issued and outstanding under all plans as of September 30, 2015 is as follows: Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Aggregate intrinsic value Weighted average remaining contractual term (years) Options outstanding at July 1, 2015 $ $ - Granted - - Exercised - - Forfeited Expired Options outstanding at September 30, 2015 $ $ - Options exercisable at September 30, 2015 $ $ - Options outstanding and exercisable as of September 30, 2015 Exercise Price Outstanding Number of Shares Remaining Life Exercisable Number of Shares $ 1.92-4.00 Less than1 year $ 1.92-4.00 3 years $ 1.92-4.00 4 years $ 1.92-4.00 5 years - $ 4.01-10.00 Less than1 year $ 4.01-10.00 2 years $ 4.01-10.00 3 years $ 4.01-10.00 5 years $ 10.01-20.00 Less than1 year $ 10.01-20.00 2 years $ 10.01-20.00 5 years $ 20.01-30.00 Less than 1 year $ 20.01-30.00 1 year $ 20.01-30.00 5 years $ 30.01-40.00 Less than 1 year $ 30.01-40.00 6 years $ 40.01-50.00 Less than1 year $ 40.01-50.00 5 years At September 30, 2015, there was $0.3 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share based compensation arrangements granted to employees and directors under the plans. Restricted Stock The fair value of restricted stock awards classified as equity awards is based on the Company’s stock price as of the date of grant. During the year ended June 30, 2014, we granted 21,030 shares of restricted stock awards with a fair value of $0.1 million. These awards did not grant any rights as a shareholder of the company until a certificate for the vested shares of common stock had been issued. During the year ended June 30, 2015, all such awards were forfeited with compensation expense forfeiture credits of approximately $46 thousand recorded, no new grants issued, and none are outstanding at September 30, 2015.

Our effective tax rate for the three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 is zero percent. This rate is lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35 percent primarily due to the valuation allowance applied against our net deferred tax assets.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES LITIGATION AND OTHER LEGAL MATTERS From time to time, we and our subsidiaries are involved in disputes. We review the status of on-going proceedings and other contingent matters with legal counsel. Liabilities for such items are recorded if and when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and when the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. If we are able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses, an estimated range of possible loss is disclosed for such matters in excess of the accrued liability, if any. Liabilities are periodically reviewed for adjustments based on additional information. Shareholder Lawsuits On April 2, 2012, a lawsuit styled as a class action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas against us and our chief executive officer alleging that we made false and misleading statements that artificially inflated our stock prices. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that we misrepresented the prospects and progress of our drilling operations, including our drilling of the Sabu-1 well and plans to drill the Baraka-1 well off the coast of the Republic of Guinea. The lawsuit seeks an unspecified amount of damages based on Sections 10(b) and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although several lead plaintiffs were appointed by the Court and then withdrew from the matter, a lead plaintiff has now been appointed and a scheduling order governing briefing on a motion to dismiss has been entered by the Court. On May 12, 2014, lead plaintiff filed his amended complaint adding our current and former chief financial officers as defendants, and defendants filed their motion to dismiss on July 11, 2014. On August 25, 2015, the Court denied the motion to consolidate this lawsuit with the March 2014 lawsuits described in the paragraph below, but granted the defendants motion to dismiss and terminated the case. Lead plaintiff did not appeal this ruling. Beginning on March 13, 2014, two lawsuits styled as class actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas against us and several officers of the Company alleging that we made false and misleading statements that artificially inflated our stock prices. The lawsuits allege, among other things, that we misrepresented our compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and anti-money laundering statutes and that we lacked adequate internal controls. The lawsuits seek damages based on Sections 10(b) and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, although the specific amount of damages is not specified. On May 12, 2014, a shareholder filed a motion for appointment as lead plaintiff, which remains pending. On August 25, 2015, the court in the April 2012 lawsuit denied the motion to consolidate the March 2014 lawsuits with the April 2012 lawsuits. One of the March 2014 lawsuits has now been dismissed voluntarily, and the parties to the remaining suit await the issuance of a scheduling order in that matter. We have assessed the status of the remaining March 2014 lawsuit and have concluded that an adverse judgment remains reasonably possible, but not probable. As a result, no provision has been made in the consolidated financial statements. Given the early stage of this dispute, we are unable to estimate a range of possible loss; however, in our opinion, the outcome of this dispute will not have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. On May 6, 2014, a purported shareholder derivative petition was filed against all of our then-current directors and our current and former chief financial officer in the District Court of Harris County, Texas. This matter was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff on September 16, 2015. In addition to these lawsuits, we have received demands from shareholders to inspect our books and records. On April 28, 2015, one of those purported shareholders filed a derivative complaint against all of our current directors, our current chief financial officer, and our past chief executive officer, and past vice president of African affairs in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The complaint alleges breaches of their fiduciary duties of loyalty and good faith in connection with potential violations by us of the FCPA. On November 2, 2015, the Court entered an order granting plaintiff’s voluntary dismissal of the action and dismissed the case without prejudice. Iroquois Lawsuit On May 9, 2012, a lawsuit was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against us and all of our directors. The plaintiffs, five hedge funds that invested in us in early 2012, allege that we breached an agreement with the plaintiffs, and that we and the directors made certain negligent misrepresentations relating to our drilling operations. Among other claims, the plaintiffs allege that we misrepresented the status of our drilling operations and the speed with which the drilling would be completed. The plaintiffs advance claims for breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation and seek damages in the amount of $18.5 million plus pre-judgment interest. On July 12, 2012, we and the directors moved to dismiss the suit for failure to state a claim as to all defendants and for lack of personal jurisdiction over the director defendants. On June 19, 2013, the court dismissed the negligent misrepresentation claim but declined to dismiss the breach of contract claim. The negligent misrepresentation claim was dismissed without prejudice, meaning plaintiffs could attempt to refile it. On August 12, 2013, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. That complaint names only us and seeks recovery for alleged breaches of contract. We filed an answer to the plaintiffs’ amended complaint on September 9, 2013, and the court has entered a scheduling order governing pre-trial proceedings in the matter. The maximum possible loss is the full amount of $18.5 million plus interest accrued thereon until judgment. We, however, have assessed the status of this matter and have concluded that although an adverse judgment is reasonably possible, it is not probable. As a result, no provision has been made in the consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the outcome of this dispute will not have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Investigations In September 2013, we received a subpoena from the DOJ and in January 2014 we received a subpoena from the SEC for the production of documents relating to our business in Guinea. We understood that the investigations focused on whether our activities in obtaining and retaining the Concession rights and our relationships with charitable organizations potentially violated the FCPA or U.S. anti-money laundering statutes. We retained legal counsel to represent us in these matters and cooperated fully with the government. On May 22, 2015 we received a letter from the DOJ closing its investigation into possible violations of the FCPA without bringing any charges against the Company. On September 29, 2015 we consented to the entry of an administrative cease-and-desist order by the SEC concerning the books and records and internal control provisions of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The allegations in the Order relate to certain issues concerning the company’s books and records and internal controls in 2007-2008. We consented to the SEC Order without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings and agreed to pay a $75,000 civil penalty to the SEC. This settlement fully resolves the SEC’s investigation. We incurred approximately $7.5 million in legal and other professional fees associated with these investigations in the year ended June 30, 2014, an additional $5.2 million in the year ended June 30, 2015, and an additional $0.1 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2015, for a total of $12.8 million. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Operating Leases We lease office space under long-term operating leases with varying terms. Most of the operating leases contain renewal and purchase options. We expect that in the normal course of business, the majority of operating leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases. The following is a schedule by years of minimum future rental payments required under operating leases that have initial or remaining non-cancellable lease terms in excess of one year as of September 30, 2015 (in thousands): Years ending June 30: 2016 $ 2017 2018 2019 2020 and thereafter Total minimum payments required $ Rent expense included in net loss from operations for the three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $0.1 million respectively, in each period.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation	Principles of consolidation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hyperdynamics and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted.
Use of estimates	Use of estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses at the balance sheet date and for the period then ended. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, such estimates and assumptions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from such estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions underlying these financial statements include: · estimates in the calculation of share-based compensation expense, · estimates made in our income tax calculations, · estimates in the assessment of current litigation claims against the company, and · estimates and assumptions involved in our assessment of unproved oil and gas properties for impairment. We are subject to legal proceedings, claims, and liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of business. We accrue for losses when such losses are considered probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.
Cash and cash equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. For the periods presented, we maintained all of our cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, exceed the federally insured limits.
Earnings per share	Earnings per share Basic loss per common share has been computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. In period of earnings, diluted earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus weighted-average dilutive potential common shares. Diluted earnings per share calculations assume, as of the beginning of the period, exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. All potential dilutive securities, including potentially dilutive options, warrants and convertible securities, if any, were excluded from the computation of dilutive net loss per common share for the three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, as their effects are antidilutive due to our net loss for those periods. Stock options to purchase approximately 1.1 million common shares at an average exercise price of $7.23 and warrants to purchase approximately 0.03 million shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $12.64 were outstanding at September 30, 2015. Using the treasury stock method, had we had net income, no common shares attributable to our outstanding stock options would have been included in the fully diluted earnings per share for the three month period ended September 30 , 2015. There would have been no dilution attributable to our outstanding warrants to purchase common shares. Stock options to purchase approximately 1.0 million common shares at an average exercise price of $10.11 and warrants to purchase approximately 0.03 million shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $11.69 were outstanding at September 30, 2014. Using the treasury stock method, had we had net income, approximately 1,500 common shares attributable to our outstanding stock options would have been included in the fully diluted earnings per share for the three month period ended September 30, 2014. There would have been no dilution attributable to our outstanding warrants to purchase common shares. Had we had net income, approximately 16,500 common shares attributable to our unvested restricted stock awards would have been included in the fully diluted earnings per share for the three month period ended September 30, 2014.
Contingencies	Contingencies We are subject to legal proceedings, claims and liabilities. We accrue for losses associated with legal claims when such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted as additional information becomes available or circumstances change. Legal fees are charged to expense as they are incurred. See Note 6 for more information on legal proceedings.
Financial instruments	Financial instruments The accounting standards (ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”) regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement, and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures.
