Stock Options and Stock-Based Compensation

At the 2010 Annual Meeting, shareholders approved the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2010 Plan"). This reserves 400,000 shares of common stock for issuance in connection with stock options, restricted stock awards and other equity based awards to attract and retain the best available personnel, provide additional incentive to officers, employees and non-employee Directors and promote the success of our business. Such grants and awards will be structured in a manner that does not encourage the recipients to expose the Company to undue or inappropriate risk. Options issued under the 2010 Plan will qualify for treatment as incentive stock options for purposes of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Other compensation under the 2010 Plan will qualify as performance-based for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, and will satisfy NASDAQ guidelines relating to equity compensation.

As of September 30, 2015, 86,336 shares of restricted stock had been granted under the 2010 Plan, of which 66,644 shares remain restricted as of September 30, 2015 as detailed in the following table:

2012	4.0	2,704	0.4

The compensation cost related to these restricted stock grants is $1,079,000 and will be recognized over the vesting terms of each grant. In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, $222,000 of expense was recognized for these restricted shares, leaving $419,000 in unrecognized expense as of September 30, 2015. In the nine months ended September 30, 2014, $317,000 of expense was recognized for restricted shares, leaving $526,000 in unrecognized expense as of September 30, 2014.

The Company established a shareholder-approved stock option plan in 1995 (the "1995 Plan"), under which the Company granted options to employees for 600,000 shares of common stock. Only incentive stock options were granted under the 1995 Plan. The option price of each option grant was determined by the Options Committee of the Board of Directors, and in no instance was less than the fair market value on the date of the grant. An option's maximum term was ten years from the date of grant, with 50% of the options granted vesting two years from the date of grant and the remaining 50% vesting five years from the date of grant. As of January 16, 2005, all options under the 1995 Plan had been granted.

The Company applies the fair value recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 718 "Compensation – Stock Compensation", to stock-based employee compensation. As of September 30, 2015, all outstanding options were fully vested and all compensation cost for options had been recognized. A summary of the status of outstanding stock options as of September 30, 2015 and changes during the nine months then ended, is presented below.
