NOTE 8. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

We account for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation—Stock Expense.” As a result, $0.3 million and $1.0 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense has been recorded to additional paid-in capital for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, in comparison to $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

On March 7, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.035 per share on Class A and Class B common stock. Quarterly common stock dividends of $0.9 million, or $0.035 per share, were paid on March 31, 2012, June 29, 2012 and September 28, 2012, to all common stockholders of record. We anticipate paying quarterly common stock dividends in March, June, September and December of each year. Based on the number of shares currently outstanding, we expect to pay total annual common stock dividends of approximately $3.4 million.
