Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation

The Company values stock-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock, as of the date of grant. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model in valuing granted stock options. The fair value per share of granted restricted stock awards is equal to the Company's closing stock price on the date of grant.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, using the straight-line method over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and prospectively revised if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The Company classifies related compensation expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, based on the Company department to which the recipient belongs. Stock-based compensation expense included in cost of goods sold and operating expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:
