Stock Based Compensation [Abstract] |
Stock Based Compensation |
9) | Stock Based Compensation
We recognize compensation expense of all employee and non-employee director share-based compensation awards in the financial statements based upon the fair value of the awards over the requisite service or vesting period, less anticipated forfeitures. We account for stock awards by recognizing the fair value of the awarded stock at the grant date as compensation expense over the vesting period, less anticipated forfeitures. In the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, approximately $828, $1,253, and $337, respectively of compensation expense was recognized in selling, general and administrative expense for all share-based awards. The compensation expense recognized in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 related to stock options was $480, $152, and $337, respectively. The compensation expense related to stock awards was $348, $1,101, and $0, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2011, our shareholders approved a new stock based compensation plan totaling 2,500 shares that can be issued in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights and/or other stock based awards. Any options issued count as the equivalent of one share under the plan. Any stock appreciation rights and/or other stock based awards count as the equivalent one and a half shares under the new plan. As of December 31, 2011, we have approximately 2,200 maximum shares that can be issued as options, stock appreciation rights, and/or other stock based awards. Under our previously approved plan, we still have 67 options available for issuance. Stock Option Awards Option awards are typically granted to non-employee directors and key employees on an annual basis. A single option grant is typically awarded to eligible employees and non-employee directors each year if and when granted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and occasionally individual grants are awarded to eligible employees. All employee and non-employee directors are awarded options at an exercise price equal to the closing price of our stock on the date of grant. The term life of options is ten years with vesting periods of generally three years for key employees and one year for non-employee directors. The fair value of our options cannot be determined by market value as they are not traded in an open market. Accordingly, a financial pricing model is utilized to determine fair value. We utilize the Black Scholes model which relies on certain assumptions to estimate an option’s fair value. During 2011, 2010 and 2009, we granted 216, 33, and 232 options, respectively, to certain key employees and non-employee directors. The weighted average grant date fair value of the options granted during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $5.98, $2.64, and $0.77, respectively. Upon exercise of stock options, new shares of our stock are issued. The weighted average assumptions relevant to determining the fair value at the dates of grant are below:
|  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |  |  | 2009 |
Term |  |  | 6 years |  |  |  | 6 years |  |  |  | 6 years |
Risk free interest rate |  |  | 1.72 | % |  |  | 2.37 | % |  |  | 1.84 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | 0.00 | % |  |  | 0.00 | % |  |  | 0.00 | %
Expected volatility |  |  | 42.10 | % |  |  | 63.90 | % |  |  | 63.90 | %
Expected forfeiture rate |  |  | 6.20 | % |  |  | 6.20 | % |  |  | 0.00 | %
The expected volatility rate is derived from actual Company common stock historical volatility over the same time period as the expected term. The volatility rate is derived by mathematical formula utilizing daily closing price data. The expected dividend yield is derived by mathematical formula which uses the expected Company annual dividends over the expected term divided by the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date. The average risk-free interest rate is derived from United States Department of Treasury published interest rates of daily yield curves for the same time period as the expected term. The forfeiture rate is determined from examining the historical pre-vesting forfeiture patterns of past option issuances to key employees. The forfeiture rate is estimated to be 0% for non-employee directors. While the forfeiture rate is not an input of the Black Scholes model for determining the fair value of the options, it is an important determinant of stock option compensation expense to be recorded. The term is derived from using the “Simplified Method” of determining stock option terms as described under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 107. The following table provides a reconciliation of option activity for the year ended December 31, 2011:
Options |  | Shares (000’s) |  |  | Weighted- Average Exercise Price |  |  | Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term |  |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($000) |
Outstanding at January 1, 2011 |  |  | 1,205 |  |  | $ | 9.23 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Granted |  |  | 216 |  |  | $ | 14.05 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Exercised |  |  | (254 | ) |  | $ | 9.40 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Forfeited or expired |  |  | (26 | ) |  | $ | 8.76 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Outstanding at December 31, 2011 |  |  | 1,141 |  |  | $ | 10.12 |  |  |  | 5.6 |  |  | $ | 954 | (1)
Exercisable at December 31, 2011 |  |  | 892 |  |  | $ | 9.71 |  |  |  | 6.7 |  |  | $ | 730 | (1)
(1) | The intrinsic value is the amount by which the market price of our stock was greater than the exercise price of any individual option grant at December 31, 2011.
As of December 31, 2011, there was approximately $660 of unrecognized compensation costs to be recognized over approximately two years. Cash proceeds from the exercise of options in the year ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 totaled approximately $2,382, $753, and $0, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, proceeds from stock options were presented inclusive of tax benefits of $0, $0, and $0, respectively, in the Financing Activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $1,283, $89, and $0, respectively. Stock Awards During the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we issued 75 and 249 shares, respectively, of our common stock. The fair value of the shares issued was determined by using the grant date price of our common stock. The recognized compensation expense for stock awards in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 was approximately $348, $1,101, and $0, respectively. The shares issued in 2011 vest over three years. For the 2010 grant, we incurred $1,101 of compensation expense, which was the entire fair value of the grant, at the grant date due to the shares being fully vested at that date.
