5. | Stock Based Compensation
The Company follows FASB ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) to account for stock-based compensation. ASC 718 requires all stock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. The Company has certain stock option plans under which it awards incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, officers, and outside directors. Stock options granted to employees have either a ten year contractual term with one-fifth yearly vesting over a five year period or a six year contractual term with one-third yearly vesting over a three year period. Stock options granted to outside directors have a ten year contractual term with vesting period of six months. No stock options were granted during the first six months of 2014 or 2013. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had an aggregate of 131,600 employee stock options outstanding (from the 2004 Stock Option Plan), of which all are vested. The weighted average exercise price of the 131,600 outstanding and fully vested employee stock options is $10.72 with a remaining weighted contractual life of 0.2 years. Additionally, the Company had an aggregate of 169,200 outstanding director stock options (from the 2003 Outside Directors Stock Plans), of which all are vested. The weighted average exercise price of the 169,200 outstanding and fully vested director stock options is $9.18 with a remaining weighted contractual life of 4.8 years. The Company estimates fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted include the exercise price of the award, the expected term, the expected volatility of the Company’s stock over the option’s expected term, the risk-free interest rate over the option’s expected term, and the expected annual dividend yield. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 for our employee and director stock options.

Director Stock Options |  |  | 1,000 |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 22,000 |  |  |  | 18,000 |

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense using a straight-line amortization method over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period of the stock option grant. ASC 718 requires that stock based compensation expense be based on options that are ultimately expected to vest. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company has generally estimated forfeiture rates based on historical trends of actual forfeitures. When actual forfeitures vary from our estimates, the Company recognizes the difference in compensation expense in the period the actual forfeitures occur or when options vest. The total stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 included a reduction in expense of approximately $54,000 resulting from the forfeiture of options by Mr. Jim Blankenhorn, our Chief Operating Officer (“COO”), who voluntarily resigned from the Company effective March 28, 2014. The COO was granted an option from the Company’s 2010 Stock Option Plan on July 25, 2011, to purchase up to 60,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $7.85 per share. The options had a six year contractual term with one-third yearly vesting over a three year period.
