In the second quarter the Company modified an executive’s awards to receive retirement treatment under the Company’s 2010 Incentive Stock Plan. The incremental compensation cost resulting from the modifications totaled $16 of which $11 was recognized in the second quarter. The remainder will be recognized over the remaining service period.
The Company did not capitalize any cost of stock-based compensation. As of June 30, 2014, the total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized was $127, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.
