SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Treasury Stock

The Company from time to time may purchase its Common Stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.  During 2010, the Company, in 59 separate transactions repurchased a total of 39,805 shares of its Common Stock for total consideration of approximately $676,000 at prices ranging from $15.20 to $18.34 per share.  During 2011, the Company, in 25 separate transactions repurchased a total of 28,426 shares of its Common Stock for total consideration of approximately $479,000 at prices ranging from $15.02 to $19.00 per share.  During 2012, the Company, in 41 separate transactions repurchased a total of 37,787 shares of its Common Stock for total consideration of approximately $622,000 at prices ranging from $15.75 to $19.00 per share.  As of December 31, 2012, approximately $891,000 of the previously authorized amount was available for these purchases.
 
Stock-Based Compensation Plans

At the Company's June 2005 annual meeting of shareholders, the shareholders approved the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2005 Plan").  The 2005 Plan was amended at the June 2007 annual meeting of shareholders to reserve an additional 425,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance and was amended again at the June 2009 annual meeting of shareholders to reserve 625,000 additional shares of Common Stock for issuance.  An additional amendment to the 2005 Plan was approved at the June 2012 annual meeting of shareholders to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock issuable under the 2005 Plan by 150,000 shares from 625,000 shares to 775,000 shares.  The 2005 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock grants to employees (including officers and employee-directors) and non-statutory stock options to employees, directors and consultants. The objectives of this plan include attracting and retaining the best personnel and providing for additional performance incentives by providing employees with the opportunity to acquire Common Stock. As of December 31, 2012, there were 114,268 shares available for issuance under the 2005 Plan. The exercise price of the stock options issued under the 2005 Plan is equal to the market price, or market price plus 10% for shareholders who own greater than 10% of the Company, at the date of grant. These stock options expire seven years, or five years for shareholders who own greater than 10% of the Company, from the date of the grant and vest annually over a service period ranging from three to five years. The 2005 Plan is administered by a committee of two or more outside directors from the Company's Board of Directors (the "Committee"). The Committee determines the eligible individuals to whom awards under the 2005 Plan may be granted, as well as the time or times at which awards will be granted, the number of shares to be granted to any eligible individual, the life of any award, and any other terms and conditions of the awards in addition to those contained in the 2005 Plan.  As of December 31, 2012, there were 224,437 vested options and 253,330 unvested options outstanding under the 2005 Plan.
 
The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option granted with the following weighted average assumptions:
