HGI
 
On December 5, 1996, HGI’s stockholders approved a long-term incentive plan (the “1996 HGI Plan”) that permitted the grant of options to purchase up to 8,000 shares of common stock to key employees of the Company. These awards were granted at prices equivalent to the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. These options vest ratably over three years beginning on the first anniversary and expired on the tenth anniversary of the grant. At September 30, 2011, stock options covering a total of 1,797 shares had been exercised and 135 options to purchase common stock are outstanding, with a weighted average exercise price of $6.97.
 
In March 2002, the Company issued specific stock option grants of 48 options to each of the non-employee directors of the Company. These grants were non-qualified options that vested ratably over three years beginning on the first anniversary and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant. At September 30, 2011, there were 8 options to purchase common stock outstanding with an exercise price of $3.33.
 
On September 15, 2011, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2011 Omnibus Award Plan (the “2011 HGI Plan”). The 2011 HGI Plan provides for the issuance of stock options or stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) for up to 17,000 shares of common stock. The 2011 HGI Plan prohibits granting stock options with exercise prices and SARs with grant prices lower than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, except in connection with the issuance or assumption of awards in connection with certain mergers, consolidations, acquisitions of property or stock or reorganizations. Under the 2011 HGI Plan, no new awards will be granted under the 1996 HGI Plan and any shares of common stock available for issuance under the 1996 HGI Plan that are not subject to outstanding awards will no longer be available for issuance. As of September 30, 2011, 17,000 shares are available for issuance under this plan.
 
HGI recognized $116 and $34 of stock compensation expense during Fiscal 2011 and the period from June 16, 2010 through September 30, 2010, respectively. A summary of the Company’s stock options outstanding as of September 30, 2010 and 2011, and related activity during Fiscal 2011, is as follows:

During Fiscal 2010, prior to the June 16, 2010 inclusion of HGI’s results herein, stock options for 10,000 and 125,000 shares were granted by HGI with grant date fair values of $2.35 and $2.63 per share, respectively. The following assumptions were used in Fiscal 2010 in the determination of these grant date fair values using the Black-Scholes option pricing model:
 
     
    2010
 
Risk-free interest rate
  2.6%
Assumed dividend yield
  —
Expected option term
  6 years
Volatility
  32.0%
