Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers |
On August 14, 2008, Richard Papalian, our Chief Executive Officer, resigned from that position. Mr. Papalian continues to serve as a director. At a meeting of our board of directors on December 13, 2007, it was resolved that James Houtz, the Registrant’s President and Chief Operating Officer, would resume the position of Chief Executive Officer in the event Mr. Papalian relinquishes his position. Accordingly, Mr. Houtz has resumed the position of Chief Executive Officer effective upon Mr. Papalian’s resignation.
On August 15, 2008, Marc Woods, one of our directors, age 61, accepted the position as our Chief Financial Officer, to serve until his successor is duly appointed. There is no arrangement between Mr. Woods and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as an officer. There is no family relationship between Mr. Woods and any of our directors, executive officers or director and officer nominees.
Prior to becoming our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Woods served as a financial reporting consultant to us since January 2008, and has served as one of our directors since May 2008. Mr. Woods also currently serves as a senior advisor to Clarion Consulting, a retail real estate consulting firm headquartered in Irvine, California. Mr. Woods began his career with Ernst & Young in September 1970, leaving the firm after eight years to co-found his own public accounting firm. He specializes in re-organization and re-engineering projects and has significant experience with financial modeling, analyzing management information systems, computerizing manual systems, and many other aspects of operations management. Mr. Woods is the former President and Chief Executive Officer of D&L Airflow Solutions, a fabricator of sheet metal products for the HVAC industry, where he served from 1999 to 2003, and the former Chief Financial Officer of Surterre Properties, Inc., where he served from November 2005 to September 2007. Mr. Woods earned a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from San Jose State University.
There was no transaction since the beginning of our last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last three completed fiscal years, and in which Mr. Woods had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
Mr. Woods is not currently party to any material plan, contract or arrangement with us.
