Stock Option Plan

May 20, 2009,

the Company adopted the

2009

Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan). The Plan provides for the award of stock options, restricted stock, performance shares and stock appreciation rights. The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the Plan

may

not

exceed

223,000

shares.

June 30, 2018,

184,000

shares of the Company’s common stock were available for issuance under the Plan. The Company

may

grant both non-statutory and statutory stock options which

may

not

have a term exceeding

ten

years. In the case of incentive stock options, the aggregate fair value of the stock (determined at the time the incentive stock option is granted) for which any optionee

may

be granted incentive options which are

first

exercisable during any calendar year shall

not

exceed

$100,000.

Option prices

may

not

be less than the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of the grant. An award of a performance share is a grant of a right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock which is contingent upon the achievement of specific performance criteria or other objectives set at the grant date. Stock appreciation rights are equity or cash settled share-based compensation arrangements whereby the number of shares that will ultimately be issued or the cash payment is based upon the appreciation of the Company’s common stock. Awards granted under the Plan

may

be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, any other award granted under the Plan. The terms of the Plan also include provisions whereby all unearned options and restricted shares become immediately exercisable and fully vested upon a change in control.

The fair market value of stock options granted is estimated at the date of grant using an option pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company's stock. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding and is based on historical trends. The risk free rate for the expected life of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. As of

June 30, 2018,

stock options had been granted under the Plan.

February 20, 2018,

the Company granted

20,000

restricted stock shares to directors, officers and key employees at a grant-date price of

$37.42

per share for a total of

$748,000.

The restricted stock vests ratably from the grant date through

July 1, 2023,

with

20%

of the shares vesting each year on

July 1

beginning

July 1, 2019.

February 17, 2015,

the Company granted

19,500

restricted stock shares to directors, officers and key employees at a grant-date price of

$24.50

per share for a total of

$478,000

with a similar vesting schedule from

July 1, 2016

through

July 1, 2020.

Compensation expense is measured based on the fair market value of the restricted stock at the grant date and is recognized ratably over the period during which the shares are earned (the vesting period). Compensation expense related to restricted stock recognized for the

three

-month and

six

-month periods ended

June 30, 2018

amounted to

$57,000

and

$106,000,

respectively. Compensation expense related to restricted stock recognized for the

three

-month and

six

-month periods ended

June 30, 2017

amounted to

$22,000

and

$43,000,

respectively.
