Annual Compensation Long-Term Compensation Awards ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------- Other Securities Annual Underlying All Other Name and Principal Salary Bonus Compensation Compensation Compensation Position Year ($) ($) ($) Options (#) ($)(1) ------------------------------ ------ --------- --------- ------------- --------------- ----------- David P. Storey 2001 203,486 - - 245,000 7,105 President and 2000 192,385 20,833 - 55,000 3,000 Chief Executive 1999 224,982 - - 145,000 1,957 Officer William P.

(1) The amounts shown in the column titled "All Other Compensation" for the years 1999 and 2000 include employer contributions to our 401(k) plan, and for the year 2002 include both employer contributions to our 401(k) plan and disability insurance premiums paid by the Company for the benefit of the Named Officers. 3 The Named Officers did not receive any other annual compensation not categorized as salary or bonus except for perquisites and other personal benefits which in the aggregate did not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 10% of the total annual salary and bonus reported for such named officer. STOCK OPTION GRANTS The following table contains information concerning the grant of stock options under our 1997 Stock Option Plan to the Named Officers during 2001. In addition, the table shows the hypothetical gains or "option spreads" that would exist for the respective options. These gains are based on assumed rates of annual compound stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% from the date the options were granted over the full option term. OPTION GRANTS IN 2001
Number of Potential Realizable Securities Value at Assumed Underlying Percentage of Annual Rates of Stock Options Total Options Exercise or Price Appreciation Granted to Employees in Base Price Expiration for Option Term Name (#) 2001 ($/Sh) Date 5%($) 10%($) ---------------------- -------------- ---------------- ------------ --------- ------------- ------------- David P. Storey 245,000 46.4% $1.10 11/20/11 $169,487.10 $429,513.59 William P. Kelly 100,000 19.0% $1.00 07/18/11 $ 62,889.46 $159,374.25 77,500 14.7% $1.10 11/20/11 $ 53,613.27 $135,866.54
All options that were granted in 2001 to the Named Officers are incentive stock options ("ISOs") under ss.422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The options are exercisable as of the date of grant. The options were granted at fair market value on the date of the grant. The term of the options is ten (10) years from the date of grant unless terminated earlier due to termination of employment, disability or death. The potential realizable value of the options granted in 2001 was calculated by multiplying the number of shares underlying the options by the excess of (a) the assumed market value of our common stock, if the market value of our common stock were to increase 5% or 10% in each year of the options' 10-year term over (b) the base price shown. This calculation does not take into account any taxes or other expenses which might be owed. The 5% and 10% appreciation rates are set forth in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and no representation is made that our common stock will appreciate at these assumed rates or at all. We do not currently have (and have not previously had) any plan pursuant to which any stock appreciation rights ("SARs") may be granted. 4 STOCK OPTION EXERCISES AND HOLDINGS The following table sets forth information relating to stock options exercised during 2001 by each of the Named Officers and the number and value of stock options held on December 31, 2001 by each of them. AGGREGATE OPTION EXERCISES IN FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND FISCAL YEAR-END OPTION VALUES
Number of Securities Underlying Unexercised Value of Unexercised Shares Value Options at In-the-Money Options at Acquired on Realized Dec. 31, 2001 (#) Dec. 31, 2001 ($) Name Exercise (#) ($) Exercisable Unexercisable Exercisable Unexercisable ----------------------- -------------- ------------ --------------- --------------- ------------- ---------------- David P. Storey - - 349,500 195,500 $2,750.00 - William P. Kelly - - 177,800 124,700 $5,000.00 $2,500.00
The total value of unexercised options is based upon the difference between the last sales price of our common stock on the NASDAQ National Market System on December 31, 2001, which was $1.05 per share, and the exercise price of the options, multiplied by the number of shares underlying the options. DIRECTOR COMPENSATION During 2001, we paid to each of our non-employee directors meeting fees of $1,000 for attendance at each board meeting and $500 for attendance at each meeting of any committee of the Board of Directors which was not held in conjunction with a meeting of the Board. During 2001, we paid $50,000 to Mr. Goebert for his services as Chairman of the Board. Pursuant to the terms of the 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, each non-employee director also receives stock options in lieu of a quarterly cash retainer for service as a director. Also, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, a grant of a stock option for the purchase of 5,000 shares is made to each non-employee director on the date of each annual meeting of shareholders at which that person is elected or re-elected as a director (or if the annual meeting has not been held by June 30 of that year the grant is made as of June 30th of that year to each of the persons qualifying and who has been a non-employee director for at least three months). Options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, become fully exercisable eleven months after the date of grant, or earlier upon a change of control as defined in the Plan, and expire five years from the date of grant or earlier in the event service as a director ceases. On June 13, 2001, a grant of stock options for the purchase of 5,000 shares was made to each of our non-employee directors at an exercise price of $1.03 per share. 5 EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL AGREEMENTS We have Post-Termination Benefits Agreements with David P. Storey and William P. Kelly, our key executives. The agreements provide an incentive for the executives to remain in our employ should a merger, sale, change in control or other transaction occur by providing severance compensation if the executives are terminated within six months following such a change of control or other transaction. If an executive is terminated within the six month period, the executive will be entitled to receive compensation equal to such executive's annual compensation, payable in one lump sum within five business days after the date of termination. In addition, all stock options granted under the 1997 Stock Option Plan shall vest as of the closing date of a change of control or other such transaction. The post-termination agreements also subject the executives to general confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions as well as non-competition and non-solicitation provisions for one year following termination. Unless we provide written notice to the executives, the post-termination agreements will automatically terminate on October 1, 2002. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION During 2001, the compensation committee of our board of directors was composed of independent, outside directors, Messrs. Gale and Benjamin (Chairman.) As noted above, our compensation program for our executives is administered by the board of directors with the advice and counsel of the compensation committee. Neither of the compensation committee members is or has been our officer or employee or an officer or employee of any of our subsidiaries. In addition, neither Gale nor Benjamin has, or has had, any relationship with us which is required to be disclosed under "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." 6 ITEM 12.
