Non-Cash Share-Based Employee Compensation

9. Non-Cash Share-Based Employee Compensation

The Company has employee and non-employee director stock option programs. Related to these programs, and in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, the Company recorded non-cash share-based employee compensation expense of $15 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with $50 for the same period last year. The Company considers its non-cash share-based employee compensation expenses as a component of cost of products ($0 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with $4 for the same period last year) and selling, general and administrative expenses ($15 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared with $46 for the same period last year). There was no non-cash share–based employee compensation expense capitalized as part of capital expenditures or inventory for the periods presented.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model to calculate the fair value of a stock option grant. The non-cash share-based employee compensation expense recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2012 was calculated using certain assumptions. For a description of such assumptions, reference is made to Note 10 (Share-Based Employee Compensation) of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
