SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
 
On June 1, 2011, our compensation committee approved the issuance of 660,000 shares of restricted stock, then valued at the closing price of our stock ($3.88), with no discount.  The majority of the shares (600,000) vested on June 1, 2013.  The remaining shares have a three year vesting schedule as follows:  20,001 vested on June 1, 2012, 20,001 vested on June 1, 2013 and 19,998 will vest on June 1, 2014.  On January 15, 2013, our compensation committee approved the issuance of 50,000 additional shares of restricted stock, then valued at the closing price of our stock ($3.22), with no discount. These shares will vest over three years, 16,667 on January 15, 2014, 16,667 on January 15, 2015 and 16,666 on January 15, 2016. Vesting is contingent upon certain conditions, including continuous service of the individual recipients. The unvested grants are viewed as a series of individual awards and the related share-based compensation expense will be amortized into compensation expense, reported as a reduction of stockholders’ equity, and is amortized into compensation expense on a straight-line basis as services are provided over the vesting period.
 
We recognized stock compensation expense of $0.6 million for both of the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012. Share-based compensation expense related to the amortization of the restricted stock issued was included in selling, general and administrative expense. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had deferred share-based compensation of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
