Corporate Governance
Compensation Committee
The members of our Compensation Committee are Messrs. Pitlor, Maxwell and Jamison. The function of the Compensation Committee is to set the compensation for officers, to set the terms of and grants of awards under our stock option plans and to act on other matters relating to compensation as the committee deems appropriate.
Audit Committee
The members of our Audit Committee are Messrs. Maxwell and Jamison. The Audit Committee assists the board by reviewing the integrity of our financial reporting processes and systems of internal controls, the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent registered public accounting firm and our compliance with certain legal and regulatory requirements. Our Audit Committee has the sole authority to retain, compensate, oversee and terminate our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee reviews our annual audited consolidated financial statements, quarterly consolidated financial statements and filings with the SEC. The Audit Committee reviews reports on various matters, including our critical accounting policies, significant changes in our selection or application of accounting principles and our internal control processes. The Audit Committee also pre-approves all audit and non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm.
Our board of directors has determined that both members of the Audit Committee are independent directors under SEC rules. In fiscal 2004, our board of directors determined that neither of the Audit Committee members satisfied the SEC requirements of an audit committee financial expert. Upon reconsideration, however, our board of directors has determined that Mr. Maxwell qualifies as an audit committee financial expert under the rules of the SEC.
Board Nominations
We have no standing nominating committee or specific policies or procedures for nomination of board candidates. If the board determines to seek additional candidates in the future, it may create a nominating committee. The board expects that it, or any nominating committee, would identify and qualify new candidates for directors based primarily on the following criteria:
| judgment, character, expertise, skills and knowledge useful to the oversight of our business; | |||
| diversity of viewpoints, backgrounds, experiences and other demographics; |
| business or other relevant experience; and | |||
| the extent to which the interplay of the candidates expertise, skills, knowledge and experience with that of other directors will build a board of directors that is effective, collegial and responsive to our needs. |
If the board considers additional director candidates in the future, the board intends to consider the entirety of each candidates credentials and does not have any specific minimum qualifications that must be met in order for a candidate to be recommended as a nominee. However, the board does believe that all its members should have (i) the highest character and integrity, (ii) sound business judgment and an inquiring mind as well as expertise that adds to the composition of the board of directors, (iii) professional experience, education and interest in, and capacity for understanding the complexities of, our operations, (iv) a reputation for working constructively with others, (v) sufficient time to devote to board of directors matters and (vi) no conflict of interest that would interfere with performance as a director.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Controller and other finance organization employees. The Code of Ethics is publicly available as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2004.

Employment Agreements
Effective January 1, 2005, Sam B. Humphries became our President and Chief Executive Officer under a written employment agreement with us. This agreement provides Mr. Humphries with an annual base salary of $239,000, subject to annual review. Mr. Humphries is entitled to receive quarterly cash bonuses, ranging from 30% to 60% of his base salary, based on achieving quarterly net sales goals set by our board. In addition, Mr. Humphries is entitled to receive quarterly cash bonuses, ranging from 20% to 40% of his base salary, based on achieving quarterly operating income (loss) goals set by our board. We also granted him options to acquire 400,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.19 per share. The options will vest contingent upon Mr. Humphries continued employment in one-quarter installments over a three-year period, beginning on the effective date of his agreement. The options will fully vest upon a change in control of our company.
The employment agreement with Mr. Humphries has a one-year term, unless terminated earlier, and will continue to automatically renew on a year-to-year basis. The agreement provides that upon termination of the agreement by us for good cause (as defined in the agreement), we will pay him only the base salary accrued but unpaid through the date of termination. However, if we terminate Mr. Humphries employment because we fail to achieve 100% of the budgeted targets for both net sales and operating income(loss) for five consecutive fiscal quarters, we must pay him an amount equal to 50% of his base salary in effect at the time of termination. If the agreement is terminated (i) without good cause by us, (ii) at the end of the term without renewal, (iii) voluntarily by Mr. Humphries as a result of us imposing material and adverse changes to his principal duties without his consent or (iv) voluntarily by Mr. Humphries after we move our principal executive office more than 100 miles from its current location without his consent, then Mr. Humphries will be entitled to receive an amount equal to 160% of his base salary in effect at the time of termination as well as any base salary accrued but unpaid through the date of termination. The agreement also contains non-competition and non-solicitation provisions, which apply during the term of the agreement and for one year thereafter.
Effective January 1, 2005, we entered into an employment and consulting agreement with Daniel G. Holman. Mr. Holman will serve as Chairman of our Board during the first year of the agreement and as a part-time consultant with the continuing title of Chairman during the second year of the agreement. He also serves as our Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Holmans agreement provides Mr. Holman with a base salary of $239,000 per year during the first year of the agreement, and a consulting fee of $100,000 per year during the second year of the agreement. We also granted him options to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $5.19 per share. The options vested 50% on the effective date of his agreement and will vest 25% on each of the first and second anniversaries of the agreement. The options will fully vest upon a change in control of our company.
The employment and consulting agreement with Mr. Holman provides that upon termination of the agreement by us for good cause (as defined in the agreement), we will pay him only his base salary or consulting fees accrued but unpaid through the date of termination. If the agreement is terminated (i) without good cause by us, (ii) voluntarily by Mr. Holman as a result of us imposing material and adverse changes to his principal duties without his consent or (iii) voluntarily by Mr. Holman after we move our principal executive office more than 100 miles from its current location without his consent, then we must pay Mr. Holman any base salary or consulting fees accrued but unpaid through the date of termination, plus an amount equal to the sum of his annual base salary and consulting fees payable during the balance of the term of this agreement as if the agreement had not been terminated. This agreement also contains non-competition and non-solicitation provisions, which apply during the term of the agreement and one year thereafter.
We also have employment agreements with each of Susan Hartjes Holman and Larry Heinemann. The employment agreement of each executive specifies a base salary subject to annual adjustment by mutual agreement of the employee and us, and a severance payment to the employee upon employment termination without cause as defined. Any severance amounts payable under the agreement are limited to the employees base salary for not less than four months and not longer than twelve months after employment termination, depending on the employees years of service. Contemporaneously with the execution of their employment agreements, each of these executives executed an Employee Confidentiality, Inventions, Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete Agreement, under which the executive agreed not to disclose confidential information, to assign to us without charge all intellectual property relating to our business which is created or conceived during
-7-
the term of employment, to not encourage employees to leave our employment for any reason and to not compete with us during the term of employment and for a period of eighteen months thereafter. Also, in connection with the execution of these agreements, we granted these executives varying amounts of stock options to purchase our common stock at the fair market value at date of grant of $7.50 per share. All of these options have lapsed without exercise.
Stock Option Plans
2002 Stock Option Plan
Our 2002 Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options (options that qualify for special tax treatment under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code) and non-qualified stock options. Incentive stock options may be granted only to our employees, including employees of any of our subsidiaries. Non-qualified stock options may be granted to our employees, directors, non-employees or consultants. A total of 650,000 shares of our common stock are available under the plan. As of the date hereof, 16,900 shares remain available for grant. The plan will terminate in July 2007, unless terminated earlier by our board.
Options granted pursuant to the 2002 Stock Option Plan are exercisable, if vested, during a term ending not more than five years from the date of grant. The board may determine at the time of grant whether the entire amount of the options can be exercised at one time or in successive stages. However, upon our change of control, all options vest. The price of the shares subject to the options can be not less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. For an employee who already owns more than 10% of our common stock, the exercise price must be at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. We receive no consideration from the key employees to whom we grant options except insofar as certain provisions of the options relating to non-transfer and exercise encourage employees to remain in our employ.
| increasing the total number of shares of common stock issuable under the plan to 990,000 shares from 650,000 shares; | ||
| extending the last date on which we can grant options under the plan to July 31, 2010; | ||
| allowing the grant of incentive stock options with exercise terms of up to 10 years but only to individuals who do not own 10% or more of our common stock on the date of grant; | ||
| giving complete discretion to our Compensation Committee to set the grant terms and conditions for the exercise of options after an employee terminates employment with us, becomes disabled or dies; and | ||
| changing the definition of a change of control of our company. |
1997 Stock Option Plan
Our 1997 Stock Option Plan terminated in 2003, except as to the 70,859 of options granted under the plan before it lapsed. The Plan provided for the grant of incentive stock options (options that qualify for special tax treatment under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code) and non-qualified stock options. Incentive stock options may be granted only to our employees, including employees of any of our subsidiaries. Non-qualified stock options may be granted to our employees, directors, non-employees or consultants.
1995 Stock Option Plan
Our 1995 Stock Option Plan provides for the grant only of non-qualified stock options. These stock options may be granted to our employees, directors, non-employees and consultants. A total of 449,998 shares of common stock have been reserved under the plan. As of the date hereof, 45,431 shares remain available for grant.
Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Operation of the Stock Option Plans
Options granted under the 2002 Plan are intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. If an optionee purchases shares upon exercise of an incentive option and does not dispose of them before the end of the required holding period, the optionee will recognize gain or loss only upon the ultimate disposition of the shares (except to the extent that the optionee is subject in the year of option exercise to the alternative minimum tax provided for by Sections 56 through 58 of the Internal Revenue Code). Assuming the shares constitute capital assets in the optionees hands, this recognized gain or loss will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss. In this situation, we will not be entitled to a deduction in connection with the issuance or exercise of the options.
Director Compensation
Non-employee board members receive $500 per board meeting and $500 per Audit Committee meeting attended. In addition, directors participate in our stock option plan. As of July 8, 2005, Messrs. Pitlor and Maxwell each hold options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock and Mr. Jamison holds options to purchase 120,000 shares of common stock. The exercise price of the options range from $1.10 to $6.75 per share. We pay no additional remuneration to Messrs. Humphries or Holman for serving as directors.
