Stock Based Compensation [Abstract]

Stock Based Compensation

5. Stock Based Compensation

The Corporation follows a fair-value based method for valuing stock-based compensation that measures compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the modified Black-Scholes options-pricing model. The following table details the fair value and assumptions used to value stock options as of the grant date that were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2011:

	2011
Fair value, calculated	$	1.50
Exercise Price	$	2.15
Risk-free interest rate		3.58	%
Expected stock price volatility		57.30	%
Expected dividend yield		—
Expected Life		10 years

In 2012 no options were granted as the Corporation awarded restricted shares in lieu of options related to goals achieved within the 2011 officer incentive plan.

A summary of the status of the Corporation’s stock option plans as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and changes during the periods ending on those dates is presented below:

In 2009 the Company granted 50,000 restricted shares of stock out of the current authorized common stock related to an employment agreement. The issuance of restricted stock vests in four equal increments beginning in 2010.

In March 2012 the Company granted 262,500 shares of restricted stock awards with an impact to unearned/deferred compensation of $625,000 and additional paid in capital of $362,500. The stock was granted under the Camco Financial Corporation 2010 Equity Plan to officers within the Company based on 2011 performance. The restrictions on the shares granted generally lapse after vested one year. The grant date fair value per share of restricted stock is the stock price at close on grant date, which is expensed on a straight-line basis as the vesting period is obtained. The shares represented by restricted stock awards are considered outstanding at the grant date, as the recipients are entitled to voting rights and dividends if declared. A summary of restricted stock award activity for the period is presented below:

	Non-vested Number of Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested balance at January 1, 2011		37,500		$	2.50
Vested		(12,500	)		2.50
Non-vested balance at December 31, 2011		25,000		$	2.50
Granted		262,492			2.38
Vested		(64,979	)		2.40
Non-vested balance at March 31, 2012		222,513		$	2.39

At March 31, 2012, there was approximately $523,000 of compensation cost that has not yet been recognized related to restricted stock awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining period of two years.
