NOTE A—BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Gray Television, Inc. (“Gray” or “the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Gray’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company follows the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”). The provisions of SFAS No. 123 allow companies to either expense the estimated fair value of stock options or to continue to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, (“APB 25”), but disclose the pro forma effects on net income had the fair value of the options been expensed. The Company has elected to continue to apply APB 25 in accounting for its stock option incentive plans.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period. Gray’s pro forma information follows (in thousands, except per common share data):
