On November 7, 2013, at the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors approved a stock bonus to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”).

On November 7, 2013, at the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors approved the Fiscal Year 2014 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “2014 LTI Stock Plan”). The 2014 LTI Stock Plan provides that each executive officer would be awarded shares of common stock in the event that certain metrics relating to the Company’s 2014 fiscal year would result in specified ranges of year-over-year percentage growth. At the time of the establishment of the 2014 LTI Stock Plan, the Compensation Committee believed that the attainment of the target goals under the plan would represent a significant achievement for management, and were designed to stretch the Company’s and management’s performance during the fiscal year. |

If none of the minimum threshold year-over-year percentage target goals are achieved, the executive officers would not be awarded any shares. If all of the year-over-year percentage target goals are achieved, the executive officers would be awarded shares having the following value: Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) – $341,277 (100% of base salary); and CFO – $175,698 (75% of base salary). If all of the maximum distinguished year-over-year percentage target goals are achieved, the executive officers would be awarded shares having the following value: CEO – $682,554 (200% of base salary); and CFO – $351,396 (150% of base salary). Assuming the minimum threshold year-over-year percentage target goal would be achieved for a particular metric, the number of shares to be awarded for that metric would be determined on a pro rata basis, provided that the award would not exceed the maximum distinguished award for that metric. The shares awarded under the 2014 LTI Stock Plan would vest over a three year period following issuance as follows: one-third on the first anniversary; one-third on the second anniversary; and one-third on the third anniversary. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $15,592 and $41,512 for the three and nine-months ended March 31, 2014 on account of the 2014 LTI Stock Plan under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. |
