c k The Company has a plan under which stock options may be granted to officers and key employees for the purchase of a maximum of 3,000,000 shares of common stock. Under the terms of the plan, options may be either incentive or non-qualified. The options have a term of ten years. The exercise price per share, determined by a committee of the Board of Directors, may not be less than the fair market value on the grant date. The options are exercisable over periods determined when granted. The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized in the Company's financial statements. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan been determined based on the fair value of such awards at the grant dates, consistent with the methods of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's total and per share net income would have been reduced as follows:
The weighted average fair values of options granted in fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998 were estimated at $3.05, $7.82, and $9.75 per share, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions:
The following summarizes stock option activity during fiscal years 2000, 1999, and 1998:
Following is a summary of the status of stock options outstanding at December 31, 2000:
On November 1, 2000, the Company awarded 168,839 restricted shares of common stock to its chief executive officer. The market value of the shares awarded was $2,079. This amount was recorded as unearned compensation-restricted stock and is shown as a reduction of shareholders' equity. Unearned compensation is being amortized to expense over vesting periods of three, four and five years. Fiscal 2000 amortized expense amounted to $98. |
