NOTE 9 - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

For share-based awards granted, we have recognized compensation expense based on the estimated grant date fair value method.  For these awards we have recognized compensation expense using a straight-line amortization method reduced for estimated forfeitures.  

 

The impact on our results of operations of recording share-based compensation, net of forfeitures, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were as follows:
