Stock Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation costs for stock options awarded to employees based on their grant-date fair value.  The value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The weighted-average fair value per share for the stock options granted to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $6.49.  The weighted-average fair value per share for the stock options granted to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $5.53.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded $636 and $516, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses for stock options.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded $1,785 and $1,441, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses for stock options.  As of September 30, 2014, the total compensation cost related to unvested stock options not yet recognized was $4,853.  The cost will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.2 years.
