Item 11. Executive Compensation.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OVERVIEW
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for
developing and determining the Corporation's executive compensation policies and
administering the Corporation's executive compensation plans. Additionally, the
Compensation Committee determines the compensation to be paid to each of the
principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of the
Corporation (such executives who served during the fiscal year ended December
31, 2006 are hereinafter referred to as "named executive officers"), as well as
other key employees.
COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES
The Compensation Committee considers the ultimate objective of an
executive compensation program to be the creation of stockholder value. An
effective executive compensation program pursues this objective by (i) aligning
each executive officer's interests with those of stockholders by rewarding each
executive officer based on the Corporation's performance and (ii) ensuring the
Corporation's continued ability to hire and retain superior employees in key
positions by insuring that compensation provided to such employees remains
competitive with the compensation paid to employees with similar
responsibilities and experience working for companies of comparable size,
capitalization, and complexity. The Compensation Committee designs compensation
packages for named executive officers that include both cash and stock-based
compensation (some of the latter vesting over time) tied to an individual's
experience and performance and the Corporation's achievement of certain
short-term and long-term goals.
DETERMINATION OF COMPENSATION AWARDS
The Compensation Committee has the primary authority to determine the
compensation awards available to the named executive officers other than the
Corporation's Chief Executive Officer (with respect to whom it has sole
authority). To assist the Compensation Committee in making such determinations,
the Chief Executive Officer conducts an annual performance review with each of
the named executive officers in which each such officer provides the Chief
Executive Officer with input about his or her contributions to the Corporation's
business during the given fiscal year. Subsequently, the Chief Executive Officer
provides compensation recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding
each of such officers.
The Compensation Committee conducts an annual review of the Chief
Executive Officer's performance prior to making its determination. During this
review, the Compensation Committee considers the Corporation's performance in
the following categories: the performance of the Corporation's Common Stock, the
achievement of agreed upon objectives such as cost reductions and other business
performance improvements.
7
COMPENSATION BENCHMARKING AND PEER GROUP
The Corporation has not retained a compensation consultant to review its
policies and procedures with respect to the compensation of the named executive
officers. The Compensation Committee benchmarks the compensation of the named
executive officers against the median compensation paid by comparable companies
in both related and unrelated industries such as Frequency Electronics, Inc.,
Valpey Fisher Corp., American Technical Ceramics Corp., ARC Wireless Solutions,
Inc., and RF Monolithics, Inc. To that end, the Compensation Committee conducted
a benchmark review of the aggregate level of compensation of the named executive
officers as well as the mix of elements used to compensate the named executive
officers, taking into account input from independent members of the
Corporation's Board of Directors and publicly available data relating to the
compensation practices and policies of other comparable companies. While
benchmarking may not always be appropriate as a stand-alone tool for setting the
compensation of the named executive officers due to the Corporation's
potentially unique aspects and objectives, the Compensation Committee generally
believes that gathering such information is an important part of the
Compensation Committee's decision-making process.
The Compensation Committee recognizes that in order to attract, retain and
motivate the named executive officers, the Compensation Committee may determine
that it is in the Corporation's best interest to negotiate total compensation
packages that deviate from the Compensation Committee's general principal of
benchmarking the compensation of the named executive officers.
ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION
BASE SALARY
Base salary levels for the Corporation's named executive officers are
designed to be competitive with those of employees with similar responsibilities
working for companies of comparable size, capitalization and complexity. In
determining base salaries, the Compensation Committee takes into account the
named executive officer's experience and performance, as well as the salaries of
similarly positioned executives within the Corporation and general compensation
levels in the region in which the named executive officer is based.
ANNUAL PERFORMANCE-BASED CASH INCENTIVE BONUS
The Corporation's bonus plan is designed to award the named executive
officers annually based on objective measures of the Corporation's performance
and subjective evaluations of the individual's performance. Examples of
individual evaluation elements are: division EBIT, inventory reduction and days
sales outstanding management, shipment to plan, cycle time reduction, customer
lead-times and outgoing quality, growth in military and aerospace revenue and
gross margins.
In general, the plan provides for an annual bonus pool equal to 20% of the
excess of the consolidated pre-tax profits of the Corporation for the calendar
year over 25% of the Corporation's shareholders equity at the beginning of such
year. The Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may take other factors into
consideration when determining the size of the bonus pool and individual awards,
such as the Corporation's progress toward the achievement of strategic goals.
8
The breakdown of the bonus pool is not based on a formula, but on factors such
as the relative importance of a named executive officer's area of responsibility
and contributions to the Corporation's earnings.
DISCRETIONARY LONG-TERM EQUITY INCENTIVE AWARDS
The named executive officers are also eligible for stock option grants and
restricted stock awards. Such stock options and shares of restricted stock
generally vest over a period of two years in order to provide an incentive for
continued employment. Stock options generally expire 10 years after the date of
the grant and are awarded with their exercise price set at the fair market value
of the underlying stock on the date of grant.
The Compensation Committee uses various factors to determine the amount of
stock options and restricted stock it will award to each named executive
officer, including the named executive officer's base salary, evaluations of the
individual's performance and the value of the stock options and restricted stock
at the time of the award. Consequently, an individual's award may increase or
decrease materially from year to year due to, for example, a significant change
in the individual's responsibilities or in recognition of a significant
achievement. Additionally, the Compensation Committee has approved the awarding
of stock options or restricted shares to newly hired named executive officers in
order to ensure the Corporation's ability to attract talented candidates.
THE LGL GROUP, INC. 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN
The 401(k) Savings Plan, which is subject to limitations imposed by the
Internal Revenue Code, permits the Corporation's employees to defer a portion of
their compensation by making contributions to the Plan and thereby obtain
certain tax benefits. Participating employees also benefit from the Plan by
sharing in contributions made by the Corporation to the Plan matching a certain
percentage of each employee's contribution made in a particular year. A
participant's interest in his or her individual contributions, the Corporation's
contributions and earnings thereon is fully vested at all times. The Plan's
proceeds are invested in guaranteed investment contracts, certain mutual funds
or the Common Stock of the Corporation, subject to the discretion of the
participants.
The named executive officers and all other employees of the Corporation
and certain of its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the LGL Group,
Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan after having completed three months of service and
reached the age of 18. All of the named executive officers participated in the
401(k) Savings Plan in 2006.
9
OTHER BENEFITS
The Corporation provides the named executive officers with medical
insurance, life insurance and disability benefits that are generally made
available to Corporation's employees to ensure that the Corporation's employees
have access to basic healthcare and income protection for themselves and their
family members.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
The Compensation Committee of the Board oversees our compensation program
on behalf of the Board of Directors. In fulfilling its oversight
responsibilities, the Compensation Committee reviewed and discussed with
management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K, as amended. In reliance on the review and discussions
referred to above, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of
Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2006, as amended.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director
Independence.
As required under AMEX rules, a majority of the members of a listed
company's Board of Directors must qualify as "independent," as affirmatively
determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors of the Corporation
has determined that all of the Directors are independent within the meaning of
AMEX rules.
Additionally, AMEX rules require that each listed company's Board of
Directors must have an audit committee of at least three members, each of whom
must qualify as "independent" within the meaning of AMEX rules applicable to
audit committee members. The Corporation's Audit Committee currently has four
members, Messrs. Pustorino (Chairman), Cerutti, DaPuzzo and Gray, and the Board
of Directors has determined that all audit committee members are "independent"
within the meaning of the AMEX rules applicable to audit committee members.
16
All transactions between the Company and any of its officers, directors,
director nominees, principal stockholders or their immediate family members are
to be approved by a majority of its independent and disinterested directors, and
are to be on terms no less favorable to it than it could obtain from
unaffiliated third parties. Such policy and procedures are set forth in a
resolution of the Board of Directors.
Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services.

PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
The Audit Committee policy and procedures for the pre-approval of audit
and non-audit services rendered by our independent auditors are reflected in the
Audit Committee Charter. The Audit Committee Charter provides that the Audit
Committee shall pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the
independent auditors and shall not engage the independent auditors to perform
the specific non-audit services proscribed by law or regulation. The Audit
Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to a member of the Audit
Committee. The decisions of any Committee member to whom pre-approval authority
is delegated must be presented to the full Committee at its next scheduled
meeting.
17
The Audit Committee has determined that the rendering of the services
other than audit services by Ernst & Young LLP is compatible with maintaining
Ernst & Young LLP's independence.
All audit-related and tax services performed by our independent auditors
were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
