evaluation of a candidate by</font><font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;"> </font>the
Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee and CEO. Candidates can be forwarded
to the Nominating/Corporate Governance<font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;"> </font>Committee
by members of our Board or our CEO. The committee recommends to the Board the
slate of directors to serve as<font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;"> </font>management&#146;s nominees for
election by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting. The Committee will also
consider candidates<font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;"> </font>recommended by shareholders. To date we have
not engaged any third party to assist in identifying or evaluating potential
nominees.</p>

reviews and sets compensation guidelines for executive officers and other
senior</font><font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;"> </font>management, and the composition and levels of
participation in incentive compensation and fringe benefits for all employees.<font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;"> </font>In addition, we oversee administration of our 2000 Stock Option Plan,
as amended.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

following principles: (1) executive base compensation levels should be
established by comparison</font><font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;"> </font>of job
responsibility to similar positions in comparable companies and be adequate to
retain highly-qualified personnel, and (2) variable compensation should be
established to provide incentive to improve performance and shareholder value.
In<font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;"> </font>determining executive officers&#146; annual
compensation, we consider the overall performance of the company, as well as
the<font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;"> </font>manager&#146;s position and performance.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

opportunity to receive cash bonuses based on individual and company
performance. Bonuses</font><font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;"> </font>(if any) will be given at the discretion of
the Board.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

incentives to our senior managers, and tie a portion of executive compensation
to Company</font><font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;"> </font>performance through grants of stock options
under the company&#146;s 2000 Stock Option Plan, as amended. In fiscal 2005, Dr.<font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;"> </font>Baker was granted options to purchase 105,000 shares for his services
as President and CEO, to reward him for past<font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;"> </font>performance,
to provide an additional incentive for future performance, and in consideration
of a voluntary reduction in<font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;"> </font>salary.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

approved the reduction of the salaries of most senior management, including the
company&#146;s</font><font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;"> </font>CEO, in favor of variable compensation or
other considerations. This will reduce our overhead and we believe the higher<font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;"> </font>emphasis on variable compensation will provide incentive to improve
shareholder value. Dr. Baker&#146;s annual base salary has<font size="1" style="font-size:8.5pt;"> </font>been
reduced to $133,000 from $190,000.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Each of us found that the
