Stock-Based Compensation
 
The compensation cost of all stock-based awards is determined based on the grant-date fair value of the award, and is recognized in income over the requisite service period (typically the vesting period of the award). The remaining unrecognized compensation cost of grants that were not vested at January 1, 2006, was determined based on the same estimate of the grant-date fair value and the same recognition method used previously, and is also reflected in income over the remaining service period after that date. The grant-date fair value of option awards is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. For awards paid out in a combination of cash and stock, the cash portion of the plan is accounted for as a liability, based on the estimated payout under the awards. The stock portion is recorded utilizing the grant-date fair value of the award, based on a lattice model valuation. Compensation cost for an award with performance conditions is accrued if it is probable that the conditions will be met.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
As of January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which we refer to as Statement No. 123R, which requires all public companies to measure compensation cost in the income statement for all share-based payments (including employee stock options) at fair value. We adopted Statement No. 123R using the modified-prospective method. Under this method, the provisions of Statement No. 123R apply to all awards granted or modified after the adoption date. For awards that were granted prior to, but not vested as of, the adoption of Statement No. 123R, we determined unrecognized compensation cost based on the same estimate of the grant-date fair value and the same recognition method used previously under Statement No. 123, which will be reflected in income in periods after adoption. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model for option valuations and a lattice model for valuations of share-based awards with performance and market conditions that are paid out in stock.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“Statement No. 123R”), which requires all public companies to measure compensation cost in the statement of income for all share-based payments (including employee stock options) at fair value. Prior to the adoption of Statement No. 123R, the Company accounted for its stock options under the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”) and related interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure (“Statement No. 123”). The Company adopted Statement No. 123R using the modified-prospective method. Under this method, the provisions of Statement No. 123R apply to all awards granted or modified after the adoption date. For awards that were granted prior to, but not vested as of, the adoption of Statement No. 123R, unrecognized compensation cost was determined based on the same estimate of the grant-date fair value and the same recognition method used previously under Statement No. 123 and will be reflected in income in periods after adoption. The effects of adoption on retained earnings, net income and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006 was insignificant. See further discussion in Note 16, “Stock Based Compensation and Other Incentive Plans.”

Stock-Based Compensation
      As of January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which we refer to as Statement No. 123R, which requires all public companies to measure compensation cost in the income statement for all share-based payments (including employee stock options) at fair value. We adopted Statement No. 123R using the modified-prospective method. Under this method, compensation cost for share-based payments to employees is based on their grant-date fair value from the beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied. Measurement and recognition of compensation cost for awards that were granted prior to, but not vested as of, the date Statement No. 123R was adopted are based on the same estimate of the grant-date fair value and the same recognition method used previously under Statement No. 123. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model for options and a lattice model at the grant date for the portion of share-based payments with performance and market conditions that is paid out in stock to determine the fair value. As of December 31, 2006, a $1 increase in our stock price would have resulted in additional expense of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.
