NOTE L – STOCK OPTIONS


We have a Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, stock options may be granted to officers and our key employees which qualify as incentive stock options as well as stock options which are nonqualified. The exercise price of incentive stock options is at least the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price for nonqualified options is determined by a committee of the Board of Directors. The options are generally exercisable after three years and expire no later than ten years from date of grant. There were 800,000 shares reserved under the Plan; options for 504,000 shares remain unissued as of September 27, 2014. There are options that were issued under an option plan that has since expired that are still outstanding.


We have an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) whereby employees purchase stock by making contributions through payroll deductions for six month periods. The purchase price of the stock is 85% of the lower of the market price of the stock at the beginning of the six-month period or the end of the six-month period. In fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 employees purchased 15,650, 19,804 and 20,318 shares at average purchase prices of $70.40, $52.61 and $44.11, respectively. ESPP expense of $329,000, $363,000 and $256,000 was recognized for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.


A summary of the status of our stock option plans as of fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 and the changes during the years ended on those dates is represented below:
