Bank and Other Cash Equivalent Deposits in Excess of FDIC Insurance Limits  


The Company maintains cash accounts with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured financial institutions. The FDIC coverage includes all deposit accounts up to $250,000 per depositor for each insured bank. In addition, the Company’s security account is protected by coverage offered by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation up to $500,000, which is inclusive of up to $250,000 of protection for claims for cash. The Company’s exposure for amounts in excess of these insured limits at June 30, 2014 was approximately $20,700,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.


Litigation  


The Company may at times be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company will, from time to time, when appropriate in management’s estimation, record adequate reserves in the Company’s financial statements for pending litigation. Currently, there are no pending material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject.


Bonus Plan  


The Company has an incentive bonus plan for fiscal year 2014 designed to motivate its employees to achieve the Company’s financial objectives. All of the Company’s employees are entitled to participate in the incentive plan. Target Bonus Amounts (“Target”) vary based on a percentage of the employee’s base salary which range from 10% to 50% of base salary and a bonus payment may be made at three levels, including at 50% of Target, at 100% of Target and at 200% of Target, depending upon the achievement by the Company of specified earnings per share goals. Included in such calculation is the cost of the incentive plan. For purposes of the earnings per share calculation, the number of shares outstanding will be held constant as of October 1, 2013. During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, the Company accrued $1,019,125 for bonuses and related payroll tax expenses in connection with the 2014 plan. The Company did not record any bonus expense during the nine months ended June 30, 2013 in connection with the 2013 plan.
