SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

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, the Company recognizes 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.  The Company recognized compensation expense, relative to share-based awards, in wages in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings of approximately $190,000 and $151,000, less than $0.01 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and 2013, respectively.

 

As of March 31, 2014, there was approximately $299,000 of unrecognized compensation expense, related to the Company’s two share-based compensation plans, which the Company expects to recognize over a period of three years.
