15. Stock Based Compensation:

As of February 2, 2013, the Company had two 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 is for the granting of options to officers and key employees and the 2004 Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan is for the granting of various forms of equity-based awards, including restricted stock and stock options, to officers and key employees.

The following table presents the number of options and shares of restricted stock initially authorized and available for grant under each of the plans as of February 2, 2013:

	1987	2004

Options and/or restricted stock initially authorized	5,850,000	1,350,000	7,200,000

February 2, 2013	20,127	443,566	463,693

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 February 2, 2013, there was $6,352,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock awards, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.3 years. The total fair value of the shares recognized as compensation expense during the twelve months ended February 2, 2013, January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011 was $2,669,000, $2,475,000 and $2,316,000, respectively. The expenses are classified as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
