Stock options

The Company uses the Black Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value and compensation cost associated with employee incentive stock options which requires the consideration of historical employee exercise behavior data and the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the Company’s stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate and the weighted average expected life of the options. Four thousand options were granted during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011. There were no options granted during the three and nine months ended October 3, 2010.
