Share-Based Compensation

4. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION:

Share-based compensation expense under all of the Company’s share-based plans was $387 thousand and $492 thousand for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Cash received from the employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) and through stock option exercises was $200 thousand and $143 thousand during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

As of March 31, 2014, unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to the unvested portion of all share-based compensation arrangements was approximately $2.6 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

The Company intends to use previously purchased treasury shares for shares issued for options, restricted share awards and ESPP purchases. Shares may also be issued from authorized but unissued share reserves.
