(4)  Share-Based Payments

The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company provides an estimate of forfeitures at initial grant date. Reductions in compensation expense associated with the forfeited options are estimated at the date of grant, and this estimated forfeiture rate is adjusted periodically based on actual forfeiture experience. The company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the stock options granted.

 

There were no stock options granted or issued under the Plan during the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, 24,000 options were forfeited and during the quarter ended October 1, 2016 1,200 options expired.

 

During the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016 there were no shares repurchased.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 the Company recognized approximately $37 thousand and $149 thousand, respectively as share-based compensation expense related to previously granted shares under the Plan. These amounts are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations.

 

During the three and nine months ended October 1, 2016 the Company recognized approximately $37 thousand and $153 thousand, respectively as share-based compensation expense related to previously granted shares under the Plan. A tax benefit of approximately $3 thousand was recognized as additional paid in capital in the nine months ended October 1, 2016 resulting from the excess tax benefit of option exercises.
