Stockholders' Equity | NOTE 10 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Common Stock Issuances During the year ended November 30, 2020, the Company issued 20,000 common shares to option holders who exercised options for $41,000. During the year ended November 30, 2019, the Company issued 2,500 common shares to option holders who exercised options for $5,700. Employee Stock Incentive Plan The Company maintains the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) under which it has reserved 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance pursuant to stock options, restricted stock, stock-appreciation rights (commonly referred to as “SARs”) and stock awards (i.e. performance options to purchase shares and performance units). As of November 30, 2020, and November 30, 2019, there were 305,000 and 325,000 options issued, but not yet exercised, under the 2006 Plan, respectively. As of November 30, 2020, there were 0 shares available for future issuance under the 2006 Plan. The Company maintains the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) which became effective December 1, 2011 as approved by the Board of Directors and approved by the stockholders at the 2012 Annual Meeting on July 10, 2012. The 2012 Plan originally reserved 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance pursuant to stock options, restricted stock, SARs, and other stock awards (i.e. performance shares and performance units). In May 2012, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2012 Plan to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance to 2,500,000 shares. In October 2019, the Board of Directors approved amendments to the plan, subject to ratification by the stockholders, which occurred at the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on November 21, 2019. As of November 30, 2020, there were 868,443 service-based options issued, 129,729 service-based restricted common shares granted, 530,851 performance-based and 116,218 market-based restricted common shares granted under the 2012 Plan. As of November 30, 2019, there were 763,274 service-based options issued, 129,729 service-based restricted common shares granted, 530,851 performance-based and 116,218 market-based restricted common shares granted under the 2012 Plan. As of November 30, 2020, there were 562,310 shares available for future issuance under the 2012 Plan. The Company granted 1,500 options to an optionee during the second fiscal quarter of 2019 as approved by the Board of Directors. These options were not issued under either the 2006 or 2012 Plan. Service-based vesting condition options The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over the most recent period commensurate with the expected life of the Company’s stock options. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected term of options granted to employees is based upon historical exercise data. Expected dividends are based on the historical trend of the Company not issuing dividends. There were 105,169 and 143,409 options granted during the twelve months ended November 30, 2020 and November 30, 2019, respectively. Variables used to determine the fair value of the options granted for the years ended November 30, 2020 and November 30, 2019 are as follows:
|  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
Weighted average values: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the years ended November 30, 2020 and November 30, 2019 was $4.66 and $5.02, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total value of the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price of the options, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on either November 30, 2020 or November 30, 2019, as applicable. The intrinsic value of the Company’s stock options changes based on the closing price of the Company’s stock.
