I recently discovered that the rules for calculating dilution are different when you have a loss compared to when you have a profit. Dilution doesn't reduce EPS loss. Also, since COMS will have negative EPS for the next 3 Q's, a higher share count will actually reduce the EPS loss, so it could even be seen as beneficial!
