STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION [Abstract]  
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
NOTE D:  STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company maintains a stock option plan under which incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options may be granted. On March 2, 2006, the Company's Board of Director's (the "Board") adopted, and shareholders later approved, the 2006 Stock Option Plan (the "2006 Plan"). Under the 2006 Plan 750,000 shares are reserved for the issuance of stock options to directors, officers, key employees, and others. The option exercise price under the 2006 Plan is the fair market value of the stock on the date the option is granted. The fair market value is determined by the average of the highest and lowest sales prices for a share of the Company's common stock, on its primary exchange, on the same date that the option is granted.

Outstanding stock options at March 31, 2013, must be exercised within either five or ten years from the date of grant. Stock options granted to Company employees generally vest in increments of 20% each year while stock options issued to non-employee directors provide for immediate vesting.

During the first three months of 2013, options for 35,000 shares were issued under the 2006 Plan at an option exercise price of $10.44 per share, and at March 31, 2013, 366,000 shares were available for granting future options.

The total grant date fair value of options vested during the first three months of 2013 was approximately $179,000. Total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense, recognized in Salaries, wages and benefits during the first three months of 2013 was approximately $228,000 and includes approximately $179,000 recognized as a result of the annual grant of 5,000 shares to each non-employee director during the first quarter of 2013. The recognition of stock-based compensation expense increased diluted and basic loss per common share by approximately $0.01 during the three months ending March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had stock-based compensation plans with total unvested stock-based compensation expense of approximately $700,000 which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period. As a result, the Company expects to recognize approximately $146,000 in additional compensation expense related to unvested option awards during the remainder of 2013 and to recognize approximately $195,000, $189,000, 129,000, and $42,000 in additional compensation expense related to unvested option awards during the years 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017, respectively.
 
The total grant date fair value of options vested during the first three months of 2012 was approximately $82,000. Total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense, recognized in Salaries, wages and benefits during the first three months of 2012 was approximately $99,000 and includes approximately $82,000 recognized as a result of the annual grant of 2,000 shares to each non-employee director during the first quarter of 2012. The recognition of stock-based compensation expense did not have a recognizable impact on diluted or basic earnings per share reported for the first quarter ending March 31, 2012.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the first three months of 2013 and 2012 was $5.13 per share and $5.88 per share, respectively.

The fair value of the Company's employee stock options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton ("BSM") option-pricing model using the following assumptions:

The Company does not anticipate paying any additional cash dividends in the foreseeable future other than those dividends declared and paid in 2012. The estimated volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock. The risk free rate for the periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected life of the options was calculated based on the historical exercise behavior.
