STOCK COMPENSATION EXPENSE

The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payments based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued and records such expense in selling and administrative expenses in the Company's Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.  The number of shares to be issued is determined by dividing the specified dollar value of the award by the market value per share on the grant date.  Pursuant to a policy adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors applicable to awards granted for years 2009 through 2012, $5.00 per share will be used as the market value per share to calculate the number of shares to be issued if the market value per share is less than $5.00 per share on the grant date. The Company's stock compensation expense was $335 and $750 for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2012, respectively, and $147 and $520 for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, respectively.

On March 12, 2012, the Company issued 241,233 shares of restricted stock to officers and other key employees.  The grant-date fair value of the awards was $998, or $4.135 per share, and will be recognized as stock compensation expense over the vesting periods which range from 2 to 15 years from the date the awards were granted.  Each award is subject to a continued service condition.  The fair value of each share of restricted stock awarded was equal to the market value of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the grant date.

On August 21, 2012, the Company issued 48,000 shares of restricted stock to certain key employees. The grant-date fair value of the awards was $156, or $3.255 per share, and will be recognized as stock compensation over a 4 year vesting period from the date the awards were granted. Each award is subject to a continued service condition. The fair value of each share of restricted stock awarded was equal to the market value of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the grant date.
