Note 6 – Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements

 

We grant restricted stock and stock options to employees and directors as incentive compensation. The restricted stock and options generally vest over three years. Non-cash stock-based compensation is recorded in general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses or capitalized G&A as follows:

  Three Months Ended  Nine Months Ended
  September 30,  September 30,
 2011 2010 2011 2010
            
G & A Expenses$ 771 $ 656 $ 2,216 $ 2,474
Capitalized G & A  252   211   768   711
            
Total non-cash stock-based compensation$ 1,023 $ 867 $ 2,984 $ 3,185

At September 30, 2011, total compensation cost related to awards not yet recognized was approximately $6.0 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of less than three years.

Stock Options

 

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. We have not granted any stock options during 2010 or the first nine months of 2011. Information relating to stock options is summarized as follows:
