Stock Based Compensation

NOTE 6 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION:

 

As of July 30, 2011, the Company had three long-term compensation plans pursuant to which stock-based compensation was outstanding or could be granted. The Company's 1987 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan authorized 5,850,000 shares for the granting of options to officers and key employees. The 1999 Incentive Compensation Plan and 2004 Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan authorized 1,500,000 and 1,350,000 shares, respectively, for the granting of various forms of equity-based awards, including restricted stock and stock options to officers and key employees. The 1999 Plan has expired as to the ability to grant new awards.

 

The following table presents the number of options and shares of restricted stock initially authorized and available for grant under each of the plans:

 1987 1999 2004  
 Plan Plan Plan Total
Options and/or restricted stock initially authorized5,850,000 1,500,000 1,350,000 8,700,000
Options and/or restricted stock available for grant:

July 30, 201119,677  - 537,981 557,658

In accordance with ASC 718, the fair value of current restricted stock awards is estimated on the date of grant based on the market price of the Company's stock and is amortized to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the related vesting periods. As of July 30, 2011 and July 31, 2010, there was $7,346,000 and $7,312,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards, which have a remaining weighted average vesting period of 2.7 years and 2.9 years, respectively. The total fair value of the shares recognized as compensation expense during the second quarter and six months ended July 30, 2011 was $790,000 and $1,257,000, respectively compared to $770,000 and $1,226,000 for the second quarter and six months ended July 31, 2010, respectively. These expenses are classified as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
