(9)         STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Effective May 5, 2015, we adopted the 2015 Equity Plan (the “2015 Plan”), pursuant to which we may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance stock units and other stock and cash awards to eligible participants. We also maintain an Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”). The 2005 Plan prohibits the granting of options pursuant to the 2005 plan after May 12, 2015, the tenth anniversary of the date the 2005 Plan was approved by our shareholders. Nonetheless, the 2005 Plan will remain in effect until all outstanding incentives granted thereunder have either been satisfied or terminated. As of December 29, 2019, there were 237,333 shares available for grant pursuant to the 2015 Plan.

Stock options granted to employees and directors generally vest over two to five years, in monthly or annual installments, as outlined in each agreement. Options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of the options is recognized in general and administrative expense over the applicable service period.

Stock options granted to certain non-employees either vest immediately or monthly over a period of two years. Options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized in general and administrative expense over the applicable service period.  In fiscal 2019, we adopted ASU 2018-07, which changes the way we account for stock options granted to non-employees. See Note 1 – Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies.

The incentive compensation of our Chief Executive Officer is tied to increases in our share price and calls for the issuance of freely tradable shares of our common stock upon the achievement of certain milestones.

We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model when determining the compensation cost associated with stock options issued using the following significant assumptions:

Stock price – Published trading market values of our common stock as of the date of grant.
Exercise price – The stated exercise price of the stock option.
Expected life – The simplified method as outlined in ASC 718.
Expected dividend – The rate of dividends that we expect to pay over the term of the stock option.
Volatility – Actual volatility over the most recent historical period equivalent to the expected life of the option.
Risk-free interest rate – The daily United States Treasury yield curve rate.

We recognized stock-based compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations for the twelve months ended December 29, 2019 and December 30, 2018, respectively, as follows:
