In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged. Any amounts recognized upon adoption as a cumulative effect adjustment will be recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “Establishing the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities” to permit all entities to choose to elect to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The decision whether to elect the fair value option may occur for each eligible item either on a specified election date or according to a preexisting policy for specified types of eligible items. However, that decision must also take place on a date on which criteria under SFAS 159 occurs. Finally, the decision to elect the fair value option shall be made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, except in certain circumstances. An entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 applies to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted for an entity that has also elected to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements.

Note 6: Stock Options:
The Company accounts for its stock-based awards to employees using the intrinsic value method under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) No. 123(R),Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company’s 2004 Stock Plan (the Plan), which is stockholder approved, permits the grant of share options and shares to its employees for up to 3,085,127 shares of common stock. The Company believes that such awards better align the interest of their employees with those of their stockholders. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest based on years of continuous service and have a 10 year contractual term. Share awards generally vest over 4 years. The option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting under certain circumstances approved by the board of directors.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model that used the assumptions noted in the following table. Because the Black-Scholes option valuation models incorporate ranges of assumptions for inputs, those rages are disclosed. Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock, historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding; the range given below results from certain groups of employees exhibiting different behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
Annualized volatility | 63.00% |
Annual rate of quarterly dividends | 0.00% |
Discount rate | 4.680% - 7.50% |
Expected term (in years) | 6.00 - 6.25 |
