Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]  
Stock-Based Compensation
E.            Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of employee services in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the requisite service period, typically the vesting period.
On August 4, 2011, the Company's stockholders approved the 2011 Incentive Plan. 500,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2011 Incentive Plan. After the 2011 Incentive Plan was approved by the Company's stockholders on August 4, 2011, the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan was terminated pursuant to a Board resolution.
On August 9, 2012, the Board granted options to purchase a total of 40,000 shares of the Company's common stock to members of senior management. These stock options have an exercise price of $10.00, have a five-year life expiring on August 9, 2017, and vest as follows:  30% on the first anniversary of the grant date; an additional 30% on the second anniversary of the grant date; and the remaining 40% on the third anniversary of the grant date.  The weighted average grant date fair value was $2.44 and the total stock compensation related expense for this grant for the year ended December 31, 2012, was approximately $12,000. The unrecognized compensation expense related to these options of approximately $86,000 as of December 31, 2012, will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.
On March 14, 2011, the Company granted options to purchase a total of 90,000 shares of the Company's common stock to members of senior management and directors. These stock options have an exercise price of $22.50, have a five-year life expiring on March 14, 2016, and vest as follows:  30% on the first anniversary of the grant date; an additional 30% on the second anniversary of the grant date; and the remaining 40% on the third anniversary of the grant date.  The weighted average grant date fair value was $9.82 and the total stock compensation related expense for this grant for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, was approximately $265,000 and $211,000, respectively. The unrecognized compensation expense related to these options as of December 31, 2012, was $409,000 and will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years.
The following table summarizes the inputs to the option valuation model for the options granted during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

The Company bases expected volatility on the weighted average historical stock volatility. There is no dividend rate. The expected term utilizes historical data to estimate the period of time that the options are expected to remain unexercised. The Company bases risk-free rates on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon rates with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option. The Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based upon past history of actual performance, a zero forfeiture rate has been assumed.
