[2] Relocation costs are expensed as incurred. However, payments of $750 made due to the relocation of a corporate executive were being expensed over the three year period following this executive’s relocation in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The agreement also included a restricted share award with a grant date fair value of $750 which was being expensed over a three year requisite service period. In accordance with the terms of a separation agreement with such executive, the remaining unamortized costs were recorded to severance expense and included in “General and administrative” during the second quarter of 2013.
