Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]

Stock Based Compensation — Compensation expense associated with RSUs and restricted stock was recognized based on the fair value of the instruments, over the instruments’ vesting period. The following table reflects the statements of income line items for stock based compensation expense for the periods stated:



	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
Operating Expense Category	2015		2014
	(Dollars in thousands)
Cost of revenue	$	34	$	81
Service, rental and maintenance	29		39
Selling and marketing	51		131

Total stock based compensation	$	443	$	1,086

The decrease in stock based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014, was due to the 2015 LTIP as compared to the 2011 LTIP, which fully vested on December 31, 2014. Fewer RSUs were granted under the 2015 LTIP resulting in lower stock based compensation expense in 2015.
