STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

NOTE L—STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

No shares were repurchased under the Company’s board authorized share repurchase program during the first quarter of 2013. As of March 31, 2013, 307,749 shares of common stock remained authorized for repurchase under the Company’s board-authorized share repurchase program.

Repurchases of common stock are accounted for as treasury stock, and result in a reduction of stockholders’ equity. When treasury shares are reissued, the Company accounts for the reissuance in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 6, “Status of Accounting Research Bulletins” and charges the excess of the repurchase cost over issuance price using the weighted average method to accumulated deficit. In the case where the repurchase cost over issuance price using the weighted average method is lower than the issuance price, the Company credits the difference to additional paid-in capital.

During the first three months of 2013, the Company issued approximately 279,000 shares of common stock out of treasury stock to employees who exercised their stock options or stock appreciation rights or purchased shares from the Company’s 1993 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
