Note 2 - Stock-Based Compensation; Changes in Equity
 
We have adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718 which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements based on their grant-date fair values.
 
We have applied the Black-Scholes model to value stock-based awards.  That model incorporates various assumptions in the valuation of stock-based awards relating to the risk-free rate of interest to be applied, the estimated dividend yield and expected volatility of our common stock.  The risk-free rate of interest is the related U.S. Treasury yield curve for periods within the expected term of the option at the time of grant.  The dividend yield on our common stock is estimated to be 1.66%.  The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.
 
The Company’s net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 includes approximately $34,000 and $35,000, respectively of compensation costs related to share based payments.  The Company’s net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 includes approximately $104,000 and $116,000, respectively of compensation costs related to share based payments.  As of September 30, 2011 there is $227,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock option grants and stock grants.  We expect approximately $30,000 to be recognized over the remainder of 2011, $88,000 to be recognized during 2012, and $59,000 to be recognized during 2013, $41,000 to be recognized during 2014 and $9,000 to be recognized during 2015.
 
As of September 30, 2011, the Company had four stock-based compensation plans pursuant to which stock options were, or may be, granted.  The Plans provide for the award of options, which may either be incentive stock options (“ISOs”) within the meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or non-qualified options (“NQOs”) which are not subject to special tax treatment under the Code as well as for stock grants.
 
On April 12, 2001, the Board of Directors approved for adoption, effective December 27, 2001, the 2001 Stock Option Plan (“2001 Plan”).  The 2001 Plan authorizes the grant of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 119,050, shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  As of September 30, 2011, 139,958 shares have been granted and were fully vested at the time of grant.  Options to purchase 7,500 remain outstanding.
 
On April 24, 2002, the Board of Directors approved for adoption, effective October 12, 2002, the 2002 Stock Option Plan (“2002 Plan”).  The 2002 Plan authorizes the grant of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 142,860 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As of September 30, 2011, 123,430 shares have been granted and were fully vested at the time of grant, 27,500 remain outstanding.
 
On April 30, 2007, the Board of Directors approved for adoption, effective October 1, 2007, the 2007 Stock Option Plan (“2007 Plan”).  The 2007 Plan authorizes the grant of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 150,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  As of September 30, 2011, 165,750 options had been granted and 88,500 remain outstanding.
 
On April 10, 2009, the Board of Directors approved for adoption, and on June 5, 2009, the shareholders of the Corporation approved, a 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”).  The 2009 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 250,000 shares of stock or options to purchase stock of the Company.  As of September 30, 2011, 82,000 options had been granted and 81,500 remain outstanding.
