Stock-based Compensation

Note 3. Stock Based Compensation

The Company follows ASC 718 in establishing standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, as well as transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. ASC 718 requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements based on the fair value of the share-based payment. ASC 718 establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees, except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans.

Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three month period ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, was $27,405 and $26,109, respectively, before income taxes. The related total deferred tax benefit was approximately $3,116 and $2,821 for the three month period ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Statements of Comprehensive Income for the six month period ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, was $60,371 and $42,425, respectively, before income taxes. The related total deferred tax benefit was approximately $6,736 and $4,310 for the six month period ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. ASC 718 requires the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options to be classified and reported as both an operating cash outflow and a financing cash inflow on a prospective basis upon adoption.

As of December 31, 2012, there was approximately $110,433 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock option awards that is expected to be recognized as expense over the next 1.50 years. The total deferred tax benefit related to these awards is approximately $12,524.

The Company has one employee stock option plan under which options may be granted, the 2007 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the "2007 Plan"). The Board of Directors may grant options to acquire shares of common stock to employees of the Company at the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Generally, options granted have a two-year vesting period based on two years of continuous service and have a ten-year contractual life. Option grants provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control. Shares issued upon the exercise of options are from those held in Treasury. The 2007 Plan was approved by the Company's shareholders at the Company's Annual Meeting on November 30, 2007 and supercedes the Company's 2000 Stock Option Plan (the "2000 Plan"). Options covering 400,000 shares were authorized for issuance under the 2007 Plan, of which 158,500 have been granted and 124,950 are outstanding as of December 31, 2012. While no further grants of options may be made under the 2000 Plan, as of December 31, 2012, 38,200 options remain outstanding, vested and exercisable from the 2000 Plan.

ASC 718 requires the use of a valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which incorporates various assumptions including those for volatility, expected life and interest rates.

There were no options awarded for the six months ended December 31, 2012. The table below outlines the weighted average assumptions that the Company used to calculate the fair value of each option award for the six months ended December 31, 2011:

	December 31, 2011
Dividend yield		3.59%
Expected stock price volatility		33.82%
Risk-free interest rate		0.64%
Expected option life (in years)		3.7 yrs
Weighted average fair value per share of options granted during the period	$	4.757

The Company pays dividends quarterly. Our Board of Directors assesses the Company’s dividend policy periodically and we anticipate that regular quarterly dividends will be paid for the foreseeable future. While the Company has paid a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share in each of fiscal years 2013 and 2012, there is no assurance that the Board of Directors will declare a comparable special dividend during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014 or any future years. Expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term approximating the expected life of the options. The expected option life (in years) represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on actual historical experience.

The following table summarizes stock option activity during the six months ended December 31, 2012:

	Employee Stock Options Plan
						Weighted
	Number of			Weighted		Average
	Shares			Average		Remaining		Aggregate
	Subject			Exercise		Contractual		Intrinsic
	To Option			Price		Term		Value
Balance at July 1, 2012		187,050		$	20.69		6.96
Granted		—			—		—
Exercised		(23,400	)	$	17.85		—
Forfeited or expired		(500	)	$	25.14		—
Outstanding at December 31, 2012		163,150		$	21.08		6.73	$	672,374
Vested or expected to vest at December 31, 2012		155,295		$	20.87		6.62	$	671,908
Exercisable at December 31, 2012		105,200		$	18.84		5.47	$	668,927

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the NYSE-MKT on December 31, 2012 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders if all option holders had exercised their options on December 31, 2012. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. The total intrinsic values of the options exercised during the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $52,999 and $15,535, respectively.
