Option/SAR Information

The weighted average assumptions used to value SARs granted in the nine months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 are shown in the following table:

	Nine Months Ended October 31,
	2011			2010
Expected life in years (1)		3.81			4.31
Risk free interest rate (2)		1.16	%		1.72	%
Volatility (3)		66	%		68	%
Dividend rate (4)		2.38	%		2.23	%

(1)	The expected life of SARs granted under the stock-based compensation plans is based on historical vested stock option and SAR exercise and post-vest forfeiture patterns and includes an estimate of the expected term for stock options and SARs that were fully vested and outstanding.

(2)	The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a term consistent with the expected life of SARs in effect at the time of grant.

(3)	The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock for a period equivalent to the expected life of the SARs, which it believes is representative of the expected volatility over the expected life of the SARs.

(4)

During the quarter ended October 31, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 20 percent increase in quarterly dividends to $0.072 and $0.06 per share of Class A and Class B stock, respectively. The Company expects to pay quarterly dividends at the rate of $0.072 and $0.06 per share of Class A and Class B, respectively.

The following table summarizes the activity for outstanding stock options and SARs for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011 and the nine months ended October 31, 2011:

	Stock Options/ SARs (in thousands)			Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Outstanding at January 31, 2010		2,214		$	11.76
Granted		683			8.95
Exercised		(88	)		6.44
Expired		(58	)		10.42
Forfeited		(98	)		8.93
Outstanding at January 31, 2011		2,653		$	11.33
Granted		202			9.87
Exercised		(104	)		7.91
Expired		(44	)		14.51
Forfeited		(42	)		9.34
Outstanding at October 31, 2011		2,665		$	11.33		4.5	$	5,216
Vested and expected to vest at October 31, 2011 (1)		2,569		$	11.40		4.4	$	4,998
Vested and exercisable at October 31, 2011		1,578		$	12.79		3.3	$	2,534

(1)	The expected-to-vest SARs are the result of applying the pre-vesting forfeiture rate assumptions to total outstanding SARs.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the aggregate difference between the closing stock price of the Company's common stock based on the last trading day as of October 31, 2011 and the exercise price for in-the-money stock options and SARs) that would have been received by the holders if all stock options and SARs had been exercised on October 31, 2011. The total intrinsic value of stock options or SARs exercised in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011 was $45,000 and $255,000, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options or SARs exercised in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2010 was $47,000 and $88,000, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value per share of SARs granted in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011 was $4.60 and $4.16, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value per share of SARs granted in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2010 was $3.68 and $4.10, respectively.

At October 31, 2011, there was approximately $4.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested SARs. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.3 years.

The Company withholds, at the employee's election, a portion of the exercised shares as consideration for the Company's payment of applicable employee income taxes. During the three months ended October 31, 2011, the Company withheld 1,200 shares for payment of these taxes at a value of $13,000. During the nine months ended October 31, 2011, the Company withheld 7,100 shares for payment of these taxes at a value of $75,000. In addition, during the nine months ended October 31, 2011, the Company received $39,000 in cash from option exercises.

RSU Information

The estimated fair value of RSUs was calculated based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends foregone during the vesting period.

The following table summarizes the activity for RSUs for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011 and the nine months ended October 31, 2011:

	RSUs			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
	(in thousands)

Restricted stock at January 31, 2010		475		$	10.74
Granted		128			8.81
Vested (1)		(165	)		11.37
Forfeited		(3	)		8.75
Restricted stock at January 31, 2011		435		$	10.02
Granted		174			9.32
Vested (1)		(175	)		10.90
Forfeited		(8	)		10.16
Restricted stock at October 31, 2011		426		$	9.37

(1)	The number of RSUs vested includes shares withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy statutory tax withholding requirements.

The Company withholds, at the employee's election, a portion of the vested shares as consideration for the Company's payment of applicable employee income taxes. During the three months ended October 31, 2011, the Company withheld 24,000 shares for payment of these taxes at a value of $273,000. During the nine months ended October 31, 2011, the Company withheld 57,000 shares for payment of these taxes at a value of $606,000.
