NOTE F — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards and for unvested awards outstanding using the modified prospective application method. Accordingly, we recognized the fair value of the share-based compensation awards as wages in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. We have recognized compensation expense, relative to share-based awards, in wages in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings of approximately $107,000 and $120,000, less than $0.01 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, and 2010, and approximately $334,000 and $394,000, or approximately $0.02 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

 

As of September 30, 2011, there was approximately $125,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to our two share-based compensation plans which the Company expects to recognize over a period of three years.
