Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] |
Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block] | 11. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION At January 3, 2015, the Company had four share-based employee compensation plans. The Company measures the fair value of share-based awards, if and when granted, based on the Black-Scholes method and using the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Awards vest over periods ranging from one to three years and expire within 10 years of issuance. Share-based compensation expense related to awards is amortized in accordance with applicable vesting periods using the straight-line method. Share-based compensation expense of $806 and $849 was recognized for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2015 and December 28, 2013, respectively. As of January 3, 2015, the Company had approximately $2.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to all non-vested share-based awards granted under the Company’s various share-based plans, which the Company expects to recognize over approximately a three-year period. These amounts do not include the cost of any additional share-based awards that may be granted in future periods or reflect any potential changes in the Company’s forfeiture rate. The Company granted 15,000 stock options and 200,000 restricted stock units during the fiscal year ended January 3, 2015 and 5,000 stock options and 40,000 restricted stock units during the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013. The Company estimates that it will recognize expenses for all unvested share-based awards outstanding as of January 3, 2015 as follows:
Fiscal Year |  | Amount |
2015 |  | $ | 1,002 |
2016 |  |  | 564 |
2017 |  |  | 469 |
|  | $ | 2,035 |
It is important to note the above estimates are based on certain assumptions that are subject to change and that the actual expense recognized may materially differ from above. The risk-free rate of return is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury Strips with terms equal to the expected life of the grants as of the grant date. The expected term of grant is based on historical stock option exercise experience. The Company used its historical stock price volatility to compute the expected stock price volatility. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s fiscal 2014 dividend rate. The annual forfeiture rate is based on the Company’s historical experience. The Black-Scholes option weighted average assumptions used in the valuation of share based awards for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2015 and December 28, 2013 were as follows:
|  | Fiscal Years Ended |
|  | January 3, 2015 |  |  | December 28, 2013 |
Weighted average risk-free interest rate |  |  | 1.61 | % |  |  | 1.74 | %
Expected term of option (years) |  |  | 5 |  |  |  | 5 |

Expected dividend yield |  |  | 0.00 | % |  |  | 0.00 | %
Annual forfeiture rate |  |  | 2.48 | % |  |  | 5.98 | %

1996 Executive Stock Option Plan (the 1996 Plan) The 1996 Plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders in August 1996 and amended in April 1999, provided for the issuance of up to 1,250,000 shares of common stock to officers and key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries through January 1, 2006, at which time the 1996 Plan expired. Options are generally granted at fair market value at the date of grant. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determined the vesting period at the time of grant. As of January 3, 2015, options to purchase 2,000 shares of common stock granted under the 1996 Plan were outstanding. 2000 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the 2000 Plan) The 2000 Plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders in April 2001, provides for the issuance of up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to officers and key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries or to consultants and advisors utilized by the Company. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors could award incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options, as well as stock appreciation rights, and determined the vesting period at the time of grant. As of January 3, 2015, options to purchase 26,500 shares of common stock granted under the 2000 Plan were outstanding. 2007 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the 2007 Plan) The 2007 Plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders in June 2007, provides for the issuance of up to 700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to officers, non-employee directors, employees of the Company and its subsidiaries or consultants and advisors utilized by the Company. No more than 350,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate could be issued pursuant to grants of stock awards, stock units, performance shares and other stock-based awards. No more than 300,000 shares of common stock with respect to awards could be granted to any individual during any fiscal year. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determined the vesting period at the time of grant. As of January 3, 2015, options to purchase 24,500 shares of common stock, as well as 300,000 restricted stock units, were outstanding under the 2007 Plan. The 1996 Plan, 2000 Plan and 2007 Plan are expired and therefore no additional shares are available for awards thereunder. 20 14 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the 20 14 Plan) The 2014 Plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders in December 2014, provides for the issuance of up to 625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to officers, non-employee directors, employees of the Company and its subsidiaries or consultants and advisors utilized by the Company. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines the vesting period at the time of grant. As of January 3, 2015, under the 2014 Plan, 200,000 restricted stock units were outstanding and 425,000 shares were available for awards thereunder. Restricted Stock Units On December 11, 2014, the Company granted 200,000 restricted stock units all of which fully vest after three years of continued service. All of these restricted stock units include dividend accrual equivalents, which means that any dividends paid by the Company during the three year vesting period become due and payable after the three year vesting period assuming the grantee’s restricted stock unit fully vests. Dividends for these grants are accrued on the dividend payment dates and included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Dividends for restricted share units that ultimately do not vest are forfeited. As of January 3, 2015, the Company has 500,000 restricted stock units outstanding, all of which include dividend equivalent rights. Total dividends accrued and payable upon vesting on all restricted stock units as of January 3, 2015 and December 28, 2013 equals $1.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

The purchase plan permits eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock through payroll deductions for up to 10% of qualified compensation. During the fiscal years ended January 3, 2015 and December 28, 2013, there were 67,092 and 58,176 shares issued under the Purchase Plan for net proceeds of $339 and $259, respectively.
