BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES
     During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors met 17 times (including 3 meetings of independent members of the Board of Directors) and acted two times by unanimous written consent. No director, other than Mr. Jenne, attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors held during the period for which he was a director and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board of Directors on which such director served that were held during the period that he served. The Board of Directors has determined that the following directors are independent directors as defined by Nasdaq listing requirements: David L. Manning, William D. Rubin, Peter H. Howard, Kenneth C. Jenne, II, and Daniel J. Moen and Michael J. Jacobs.
     The Board’s standing committees include an Audit Committee and a Compensation and Stock Option Committee. The Company does not have a standing nominating committee of the Board of Directors, or a committee performing similar functions, or a nominating committee charter. This function is performed by the independent members of the Board of Directors. Because of the historical small turnover of its members, the Board addresses the need to retain members and fill vacancies after discussion among current members of the Board of Directors and the Company’s management. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has determined that it is appropriate not to have a nominating committee at this time.
Audit Committee
     The Company has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Audit Committee”). The Audit Committee selects the independent accountants to be engaged by the Company, reviews the scope of the accountants’ engagement, including the remuneration to be paid, and reviews the independence of the accountants. The Audit Committee, with the assistance of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and other appropriate personnel, reviews the Company’s annual financial statements and the independent auditor’s report, including significant reporting or operational issues; corporate policies and procedures as they relate to accounting and financial reporting and financial controls; litigation in which the Company is a party; and, if necessary, use by the Company’s executive officers of expense accounts and other non-monetary perquisites, if any. The Audit Committee may direct the Company’s legal counsel, independent auditors and internal audit staff to inquire into and report to it on any matter having to do with the Company’s accounting or financial procedures or reporting.
     The Audit Committee consists of 3 directors: David L. Manning, Peter H. Howard and Michael J. Jacobs. The Board of Directors, in its business judgment,

 


 

has determined that all members of the Audit Committee are “independent” as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the National Association of Securities Dealers’ (“NASD”) listing standards. Mr. Daniel J. Moen served on the Audit Committee until December 2, 2004, and Mr. Jacobs was appointed to the Audit Committee on December 2, 2004. Further, the Board of Directors, in its business judgment, has determined that Mr. David Manning and Mr. Peter Howard are “financial experts” as defined in the SEC rule. The Audit Committee held 10 meetings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a charter approved by the Board of Directors.

     Under federal securities laws, the Company’s directors, certain officers, and persons holding more than 10% of the Common Stock of the Company are required to report, within specified due dates, their initial ownership and all subsequent acquisitions, dispositions or other transfers of interest in Common Stock, if and to the extent reportable events occur which require reporting of such due dates. The Company is required to describe in this Annual Report whether it has knowledge that any person required to file such report failed to do so in a timely manner.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
     Upon joining the Board of Directors, all non-employee directors receive options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company.
     During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, the annual compensation of non-employee directors was as follows: each non-employee director serving on the Board of Directors received options to purchase, in the aggregate, 13,000 shares of Company common stock per year, and each non-employee director serving on any committee of the Board of Directors received options to purchase, in the aggregate, 1,000 shares of Company common stock per year for each committee on which he served; all such options were issued quarterly in equal installments. The options were non-statutory stock options, immediately exercisable, and priced at 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant.
     Directors are also reimbursed for travel and lodging expenses in connection with Board of Directors and committee meetings.
     Compensation Plans
     Executive Employment Arrangements. The Company and Mr. Clawson originally entered into an employment agreement as of January 18, 2001 when Mr. Clawson was appointed as the Company’s President. That agreement was amended in December 2003 to provide for specific terms relating to the appointment of Mr. Clawson as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Clawson Employment Agreement”). The Clawson Employment Agreement, as amended, provides for the employment of Mr. Clawson as Chief Executive Officer of the Company at an annual base salary of $250,000, and provides for Mr. Clawson to receive a target bonus equal to 100% of his annual base salary upon the achievement of certain performance objectives established by the Company.
     The Company may terminate the Clawson Employment Agreement for “cause.” The Clawson Employment Agreement defines “cause” as acts of willful misconduct or gross negligence by Mr. Clawson in performance of his material duties or obligations to the Company, conviction of Mr. Clawson of a felony involving moral turpitude, or a material act of dishonesty or breach of trust by Mr. Clawson, intended to enrich Mr. Clawson at the expense of the Company. If the Clawson Employment Agreement is terminated by the Company other than for “cause” or the death, disability or normal retirement of Mr. Clawson or by Mr. Clawson for “good reason,” Mr. Clawson will receive severance pay equal to 6 months of his base salary and 6 months of his target bonus, as in effect immediately prior to termination, and all of Mr. Clawson’s stock options and stock appreciation rights granted on or after December 4, 2003 will be exercisable at termination. If Mr. Clawson ‘s employment with the Company is terminated within one year following a “change in control” of the Company (other than as consequence of death, disability or normal retirement of Mr. Clawson) by the Company for any reason whatsoever or by Mr. Clawson for “good reason,” Mr. Clawson will receive severance equal to 6 months of his base salary and 6 months of his target bonus, as in effect immediately prior to termination, and all of Mr. Clawson ‘s stock options and stock appreciation rights will become exercisable at termination. If Mr. Clawson’s employment is terminated at any time by the Company or by Mr. Clawson, other than within one year of a “change in control,” the Company may, at its sole discretion and upon certain conditions, prohibit Mr. Clawson from engaging in any business competitive with the business of the Company for a six-month period following the effective date of termination.
     In addition to the Clawson Employment Agreement, the Company has employment agreements with Mr. Matte, Mr. Wittig and Mr. Taggart. Such employment agreements, other than the Clawson Employment Agreement, are referred to herein as the “Executive Employment Agreements.” Under such Executive Employment Agreements, for fiscal year 2005, the annual base salaries were: $175,000 for Mr. Wittig (Mr. Wittig’s annual base salary was increased from $165,000 to $175,000 on December 2, 2004); $175,000 for Mr. Matte (Mr. Matte’s annual base salary was increased from $165,000 to $175,000 on December 2, 2004); $250,000 for Mr. Reese; and $165,000 for Mr. Taggart; and the target bonuses were 100% of the annual base salary for Mr. Wittig, Mr. Matte and Mr. Taggart and up to $105,000 for Mr. Reese, all based on achievement of certain performance targets under the Company’s bonus program.
     The Executive Employment Agreements may be terminated by either the Company or the respective executive officer at any time. In the event the executive officer resigns without “good reason” or is terminated for “cause,” compensation under the employment agreements will end. In the event any such employment agreement is terminated by the Company without “cause” or the executive officer resigns for “good reason,” the terminated executive officer will receive, among other things, severance compensation equal to a specified multiple of such employee’s monthly base salary and target bonus under the Company’s bonus program. In addition, upon termination of employment the non-statutory options and stock appreciation rights of such executive officers that are exercisable within a specified number of months after the date of termination will be immediately exercisable and certain other awards previously made under any of the Company’s compensation plans or programs and previously not paid will immediately vest on the date of such termination.
     The Executive Employment Agreements contain severance provisions that apply if the executive officer’s employment is terminated within one year after the occurrence of a change of control. In the event that the employee is terminated within one year following the occurrence of a change in control by the Company for any reason or by the employee for “good reason”, the employee will be entitled to receive on the date of the termination an amount equal to, among other things, a specific multiple of the employee’s base salary, target bonus under the Company’s bonus program, and any performance award payable under the Stock Incentive Plan, the Stock Option Plan or similar plan, as well as any other benefits which the employee would be entitled to where termination was without “cause” or with “good reason” by employee.
     In addition to the information stated above, each of the Executive Employment Agreements provides for the executive to receive options to acquire shares of the Company’s Common Stock and/or to participate in the Company’s stock option plans. The amounts and certain terms of the options are described elsewhere in this Annual Report. In general, the options become immediately exercisable upon a change in control of the Company.
     Salary Reduction Program. In October 2001, the Company offered a salary reduction program to all employees (“Salary Reduction Program”) through which an employee could reduce his or her salary for one year and receive in exchange an option to purchase the Company’s Common Stock. For any amount from 0.01%-10.00% of reduction in base salary, the employee would receive an option to purchase a number of shares equal to double the dollar amount of base salary reduction divided by the exercise price per share on the grant date. For any amount from 10.01%-100% reduction in base salary, the employee would receive an option to purchase a number of shares equal to triple the dollar amount of base salary reduction divided by the exercise price per share on the grant date. The options vested during a period of one year at intervals of 1/12 per month, beginning on December 2, 2001 and ending on November 2, 2002. The options expire in ten years from October 1, 2001, the grant date.
     The following current executive officers participated in the Salary Reduction Program and in exchange for the reductions of their annual base salaries, received options to purchase the Company’s Common Stock, in the following amounts: Patrick Clawson—34,659 shares, Michael Wittig—80,769, and Michael Matte—83,077.
     Stock Incentive Plan. All salaried employees and non-employee directors of the Company are eligible to participate in the Stock Incentive Plan. An eligible employee may receive an award under the Plan, however, only if selected by the Compensation Committee or Board of Directors. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Stock Incentive Plan is 2,400,000.

 


 

     Stock Option Plan. All employees, consultants and directors of the Company are eligible to participate in the Stock Option Plan. An eligible participant may receive an award under the Stock Option Plan, however, only if selected by the Compensation Committee or Board of Directors. The Company’s Board of Directors initially adopted the Stock Option Plan on September 4, 1998. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Stock Option Plan is 10,000,000.
     The criteria for award selection under the Stock Incentive Plan and Stock Option Plan commonly used by the Compensation Committee and/or the Board of Directors include: the individual’s capacity to contribute materially to the continued growth and successful performance of the Company, and the individual’s achievements and contributions, incentives and other motivational factors. The Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors may set additional criteria when reviewing any individual’s compensation. In addition, the Board of Directors set up a matrix for the issuance of a certain number of shares of stock options to new employees under the Plans according to employee position. The stock options currently granted under both plans generally vest in four equal increments over a period of four years, however, the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors may set different vesting terms.
     Employee Stock Purchase Plan. All salaried employees are eligible to participate in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan under which salaried employees can purchase the Company’s Common Stock at 85% of the fair market value through payroll deductions of up to 10 percent of the employee’s base salary. The Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Employee Stock Purchase Plan on December 8, 1999 and the Company’s shareholders initially approved the Employee Stock Purchase Plan on December 6, 2000. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is 2,500,000.

     Compensation and Stock Option Committee
     The Compensation and Stock Option Committee is responsible for setting and approving the salaries, bonuses and other compensation for the Company’s executive officers, establishing compensation programs, and determining the amounts and conditions of grants of awards under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan and Stock Option Plan. The Company’s Compensation and Stock Option Committee consists of independent directors as defined under Nasdaq listing standards. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors currently consists of 3 directors: William D. Rubin, David L. Manning and Daniel J. Moen, each of whom is independent. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, Mr. Jenne served on the Compensation Committee until December 2, 2004, and Mr. Moen was appointed to the Compensation Committee on December 2, 2004. None of the members of the Compensation Committee was an executive officer or employee of the Company during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. No executive officer of the Company served during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 or serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee met 4 times and acted two times by unanimous written consent.
     Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
     No member of the Compensation Committee was at any time during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 an officer or employee of the Company. No executive officer of the Company served during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 or serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.
     Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation
     The Compensation and Stock Option Committee Objectives. The Company’s compensation programs are designed by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee to achieve four fundamental objectives: (1) to provide competitive salary levels and compensation incentives that attract and retain qualified executives; (2) to motivate executives to achieve specific strategic short-term and long-term objectives of the Company; (3) to recognize individual performances and achievements as well as the performance of the Company relative to its peers; and (4) to link the interests of senior management with the long-term interest of the Company’s shareholders through compensation opportunities in the form of stock ownership. At present, these objectives are met through a program composed of salary, cash bonus, and long-term incentive opportunities in the form of stock options.
     Chief Executive Officer Compensation. The Committee’s deliberations regarding Mr. Clawson’s compensation for the fiscal year 2005 included the following factors and criteria: Mr. Clawson’s work experience, management style and length of employment at the Company, compensation of other CEOs in comparable companies, the composition of Mr. Clawson’s overall compensation (salary, bonus and stock options), and the Company’s overall financial position. The goal of the Compensation Committee was to tie a significant portion of the CEO’s compensation to the financial performance of the Company and the performance of the Company’s common stock, primarily by option grants and by bonus opportunity based on the Company’s revenues and net income.
     For the remainder of the fiscal year 2005, Mr. Clawson’s annual base salary was set at $250,000. Mr. Clawson was paid a bonus in the total amount of $172,797 during fiscal year 2005 in accordance with the attainment of the set goals and objectives of the bonus plan based on previously set criteria. During the fiscal year 2005, Mr. Clawson was issued a non-qualified option to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.29 per share. This option vests in 4 equal annual increments of 50,000 shares, beginning on December 2, 2006.
     Other Executive Salaries. Base salaries for management employees are determined initially by evaluating the responsibilities of the position, the experience of the individual, internal comparability considerations, as appropriate, the competition in the marketplace for management talent, and the compensation practices among industry competitors and public companies of the size of the Company. Salary adjustments are determined and normally made at 12-month intervals.
     Bonuses. The Company offers a bonus program for executives designed to provide incentive bonuses to executives who contributed materially to the Company’s success during the most recently completed fiscal year. The bonus program is intended to enable the Company executives to participate in the Company’s

 


 

success as well as to provide incentives for future performance. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee determines bonus payouts based on the Company’s gross revenue and net income.
     Long Term Incentives. Under the Company’s stock plans, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee may grant to certain employees of the Company a variety of long-term incentives, including non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, grants of stock or performance awards. In granting these incentives to executives, the Committee considers those factors described above in this Committee Report regarding compensation decisions.
     This report has been executed by each person who served as a member of the Company’s Compensation and Stock Option Committee at the time of filing the Annual Report.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Compensation of Independent Certified Public Accountants
     Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed by Grant Thornton LLP for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and for the review of the financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10Q for fiscal year 2005 and fiscal year 2004 or the services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years were $393,341 and $184,826, respectively.
     Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed by Grant Thornton LLP for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably

 


 

related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements for fiscal year 2005 and fiscal year 2004, but not included in “Audit Fees” above were $50,200 and $44,176, respectively. These fees were primarily for assurance services.
     Tax Fees.

     The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors considered whether the provision of non-audit services by the independent public accountants is compatible with maintaining the accountants’ independence.
