Equity Plans

On March 17, 2010, the Board of Directors adopted the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The 2010 Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders on May 20, 2010. In 2000, the Board of Directors adopted and the Company’s shareholders approved a stock option plan (the “2000 Plan”), under which 261,521 stock options remain outstanding at March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, there were 17,329 stock options and 26,969 restricted shares outstanding and the total number of authorized shares that remain available for issuance under the 2010 Plan was 1,446,739. The 2010 Plan provides for the following types of stock-based awards: incentive stock options; nonqualified stock options; stock appreciation rights; restricted stock; restricted performance stock; unrestricted Company stock; and performance units. Awards granted under the 2000 Plan were either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Under the 2010 Plan, the awards may be granted to employees and directors under incentive and nonstatutory agreements and other awards agreements. The 2010 Plan and the 2000 Plan (collectively the “Plans”) require that the option price may not be less than the fair market value of the stock at the date the option is granted. The option awards under the Plans expire on dates determined by the Board of Directors, but not later than ten years from the date of award. The vesting period is generally five years; however, the vesting period can be modified at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. Outstanding option awards under the Plans are exercisable until their expiration, however, no new options will be awarded under the 2000 Plan. New shares are issued upon exercise of an option.

The grant date fair value of awards is determined by the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is recognized ratably as compensation expense or director expense over the vesting periods. The shares of common stock granted pursuant to such agreements vest in increments over one to five years from the date of grant. The shares awarded to employees and directors under the restricted stock agreements vest on the applicable vesting dates only to the extent the recipient of the shares is then an employee or a director of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, and each recipient will forfeit all of the shares that have not vested on the date his or her employment or service is terminated.

Equity Compensation

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the compensation cost recognized for equity compensation was $33,000 each period. The recognized tax benefit for equity compensation expense was $11,000 and $8,000, for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

At March 31, 2013, the total compensation cost related to nonvested stock option awards not yet recorded is $47,000. This amount will be recognized over the next 4.25 years and the weighted average period of recognizing these costs is expected to be 1.6 years. At March 31, 2013, the total compensation cost related to restricted stock awards not yet recorded is $183,000. This amount will be recognized over the next 4.25 years and the weighted average period of recognizing these costs is expected to be 1.2 years.
