9. | Stock-Based Compensation
In previous periods, the Company awarded stock options under two shareholder approved plans. No further options may be granted under either of the two plans. Option exercise price is not less than fair market value on date of grant and options are exercisable no later than ten years from date of grant. Options issued under both plans generally vested at a rate of 25% per year. To the extent possible, shares of treasury stock are used to satisfy share requirements resulting from the exercise of stock options. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, all options awarded under both plans are fully vested. Option activity is as follows:
|  | Years Ended September 30, |
|  | 2012 |  |  | 2011 |
Options at beginning of year |  |  | 43 |  |  |  | 60 |
Weighted average exercise price |  | $ | 3.86 |  |  | $ | 4.33 |
Options exercised during the year |  |  | (42 | ) |  |  | (17 | )
Weighted average exercise price |  | $ | 3.86 |  |  | $ | 5.50 |
Options at end of year |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | 43 |
Weighted average exercise price |  | $ | 3.74 |  |  | $ | 3.86 |
Options exercisable at end of year |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | 43 |
Weighted average exercise price |  | $ | 3.74 |  |  | $ | 3.86 |
As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to the stock options granted under the Company’s stock option plans and, therefore, there was no compensation expense related to stock options recognized in fiscal years 2012 and 2011. The 1 outstanding and exercisable option as of September 30, 2012 is fully vested, has a weighted average remaining term of 2.7 years, and an intrinsic value of $14. The Company has awarded performance and restricted shares under its shareholder approved 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2007 Plan”). The aggregate number of shares that may be awarded under the 2007 Plan is 600,000 less any shares previously awarded and subject to an adjustment for the forfeiture of any unissued shares. In addition, shares that may be awarded are subject to individual recipient award limitations. The shares awarded under the 2007 Plan may be made in multiple forms including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted or unrestricted stock, and performance related shares. Any such awards are exercisable no later than ten years from date of grant. The performance shares that have been awarded under the 2007 Plan generally provide for the issuance of the Company’s common shares upon the Company achieving certain defined financial performance objectives during a period up to three years following the making of such award. The ultimate number of common shares of the Company that may be earned pursuant to an award ranges from a minimum of no shares to a maximum of 150% of the initial target number of performance shares awarded, depending on the level of the Company’s achievement of its financial performance objectives. With respect to such performance shares, compensation expense is being accrued at (i) approximately 100% of the target levels for recipients of the performance shares awarded during fiscal 2012, (ii) approximately 50% of the target levels for recipients of the performance shares awarded during fiscal 2011 and (iii) approximately 118% of the target levels for recipients of the performance shares awarded during fiscal 2010. During each future reporting period, such expense may be subject to adjustment based upon the Company’s subsequent estimate of the number of common shares that it expects to issue upon the completion of the performance period. The performance shares were valued at the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant. The vesting of such shares is determined at the end of the performance period. During fiscal 2012 and 2011, the Company awarded restricted shares to certain of its directors. The restricted shares were valued at the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant, and such value was recorded as unearned compensation. The unearned compensation is being amortized ratably over the restricted stock vesting period of one (1) to three (3) years. If all outstanding share awards are ultimately earned and issued at the target number of shares, then at September 30, 2012 there are approximately 396,200 shares that remain available for award. If any of the outstanding share awards are ultimately earned and issued at greater than the target number of shares, up to a maximum of 150% of such target, then a fewer number of shares would be available for award. Compensation expense related to the performance and restricted shares awarded under the 2007 Plan was $892 and $547 during fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company recognized income tax benefits of $59 and $45 in fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively, as a result of issuing common shares that were earned under the 2007 Plan. As of September 30, 2012, there was $1,235 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the performance and restricted shares awarded under the 2007 Plan. The Company expects to recognize this cost over the next two (2) years. The following is a summary of activity related to performance shares:
|  | Number of Shares |  |  | Weighted Average Fair Value at Date of Grant |
Outstanding at September 30, 2011 |  |  | 135 |  |  | $ | 13.25 |
