and address of the stockholder who intends to make the nominations or propose the business and, as the case may be, of the person or
persons to be nominated or of the business to be proposed; (ii) representations that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of

incentive awards for our named executive officers consist of restricted stock awards that are granted at the fair market value on the

The goal is to align the financial interests of the named executive officers with those of stockholders by providing significant incentives
to manage the Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business. The Compensation Committee determines the
size of each award based on the individual&rsquo;s level of responsibility, recent performance, his or her potential for future responsibility
and promotion, the number of unvested options held by the individual at the time of the new grant, and the size of the available stock
award pool.</FONT></P>

Audit Committee's policy is to pre-approve all audits and other permissible services provided by the independent accountants. These services
may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally detailed as to the particular
service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent accountants and management are required
to report periodically to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent accountants in accordance
with this pre-approval process and the fees for the services performed through such date. The Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular
services on a case-by-case basis. All services performed by the independent accountants in fiscal 2022 and 2021 were preapproved by the
Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the services described in this section is compatible with
maintaining the independence of the Audit Firm and determined that it is.</FONT></P>

Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors establishes the general compensation policies of the Company as well as the compensation
plans and specific compensation levels for executive officers. Short-term executive compensation consists of base salary and variable
incentive salary awards that are performance-based. Long-term executive compensation consists of stock options and restricted stock grants
that vest over time and gain in value as common stock values increase. The Committee strives to ensure that the Company's executive compensation
programs enable the Company to attract, retain, motivate and reward key people based on a pay-for-performance approach, targeted between
median and 75<SUP>th</SUP> percentile for equivalent positions in similar-sized companies in similar fields of business when target performance
objectives are achieved, and potentially resulting in superior pay when superior performance objectives are achieved. Within this framework,
actual compensation can vary depending on each executive officer&rsquo;s position, responsibilities and overall experience. Overall,
the Company strives to provide a total compensation package that is fair, reasonable, and competitive with prevailing practices in the
Company's industry.</FONT></P>

base salaries and variable performance-based incentive award components of the Company's compensation program are compared to other similar
technology public companies as set forth in a regional compensation survey. The compensation survey is used to benchmark the Company's
executive and employee salaries, as it is a broad-based compensation survey with an emphasis on smaller companies in the electronics
industry and provides information on base salary and variable incentive awards based on the size of companies operating within the Company&rsquo;s
geographic region. Offering competitive salary packages to employees is an essential element of attracting and retaining key employees
in the San Francisco Bay Area including Silicon Valley, which has many electronics firms that compete for talent and offer a variety
of employment alternatives.</FONT></P>

Equity-Based Incentive Awards are provided through the stockholder-approved 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended. Although the
Equity Incentive Plan provides for a variety of equity incentive awards, to date through 2022 with the Compensation
Committee&rsquo;s approval, the Company has awarded restricted stock grants from the Equity Incentive Plan. The goal of the
Company's long-term, equity-based incentive awards is to align the financial interests of the executive officers and employees of
the Company with those of stockholders and to provide each executive officer and employee with a significant incentive to manage the
Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business. All equity incentives are subject to vesting
provisions to encourage executive officers and employees to remain employed with the Company. The Company recommends to the
Compensation Committee determines the size of each award based on the individual&rsquo;s level of responsibility, recent
performance, his or her potential for future responsibility and promotion and the size of the available stock award pool to arrive
at a level that the Company considers appropriate to create a meaningful opportunity for equity participation by the
individual.</FONT></P>

of December 31, 2022, there were 453,798 shares available for grant under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. In addition, the 2004
Equity Incentive Plan provides for an automatic increase each January 1<SUP>st</SUP> equal to the lesser of (a) 400,000 shares, (b)
4% of the outstanding shares on that date, or (c) a lesser amount as determined by the Board of Directors. The increase in shares
available for grants on January 1, 2023 was 283,587 shares. Options and restricted stocks are granted to executive officers,
employees and consultants at the discretion of the Company with the approval of the Compensation Committee. The Company, in
consultation with the Compensation Committee and the full Board of Directors grants options
annually to directors for service on the Board of Directors.</FONT></P>

Company prepares an annual allocation plan dividing the available stock in the grant pool among refresher grants, new employee
grants, director grants and reserves for approval by the Compensation Committee. The timing, award criteria and award procedures are
discussed more fully under Equity Incentive Grant Policies in the next section. New employee grants are typically made on the first
trading day of the month following the date of hire. Refresher grants are made annually, typically during the first quarter of the
year. Stock option grants typically vest monthly over 48 months, contingent upon continued employment with the Company. All stock
options expire ten years after the date of grant. Fully vested grants, or grants vesting over a shorter or longer-term than four
years, maybe awarded at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Restricted stocks typically vest on the schedule of 15% after
year one, 20% after year two, 25% after year three, and 40% after year four, subject to continued employment with the Company. Stock
options provide a return only if the individual remains with the Company and only if the market price of the Company&rsquo;s Common
Stock appreciates during the option term. Restricted stocks provide the entire value of each granted share.</FONT></P>

to 2022 it was the Company&rsquo;s practice to grant awards that vest in annual installments tied to continued service over four years.
To better align the interests of our executives with Company&rsquo;s long-term performance, while also providing a retention vehicle
for our executives, the Compensation Committee adopted performance-based restricted stock awards (&ldquo;Performance RSAs&rdquo;) made
to each of the Named Executive Officers in 2022.</FONT></P>

Company  believes that stock options and restricted stock grants are effective in attracting and retaining key employees,
and the Company provides initial grants to all new employees and annual refresher grants to all continuing employees with a weighting
reflecting the level of responsibility and performance of the employee. Many of the senior executives and employees have been employed
by the Company for more than ten years and have amassed a number of stock option grants (grants expire 10 years after the date of grant)
and restricted stock awards with the potential for substantial cumulative compensation if stock prices increase, thus aligning their
interests with those of stockholders. The Company believes stock options and restricted stocks are effective long-term incentives because

Under ASC Topic 718, the Company uses a binomial lattice valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock option grants made on or
after January 1, 2006. The binomial lattice model incorporates estimates for expected volatility, risk-free interest rates, employee
exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. These estimates affect the calculation of the fair value of the Company&rsquo;s

the terms of the Agreements, the Executive&rsquo;s employment is at-will and termination of employment of the Executive may occur at
any time. The Agreement defines termination arrangements that apply if the Executive is terminated for Cause as defined in the
Agreement, is terminated due to death or disability, voluntarily terminates employment, or is otherwise terminated involuntarily.
Should the Executive&rsquo;s employment be terminated other than for Cause, death, disability or voluntary termination, the
Executive is entitled under the Agreement to (i) receive an involuntary termination payment consisting of his or her regular base
salary for a period of two (2) months plus one month for each completed two years of service up to a maximum of five (5) months
following termination, (ii) receive one additional month of compensation upon signing a mutual termination agreement; (iii) receive
reimbursement for payment of his or her COBRA health premiums for the lesser of the amount of time of the involuntary termination
payment or until he is eligible for the health insurance benefits provided by another employer; (iv) receive the variable
compensation amounts to which he or she would otherwise be entitled as prescribed in the Company&rsquo;s variable incentive
compensation plan, and (v) purchase from the Company at book value certain items that were purchased by the Company for his or her
use. Stock options and restricted stocks granted to the Executive shall cease vesting immediately upon the date of termination of
employment, and vested stock options will be exercisable after termination for the lesser of one year or the expiration date of the
grant. In the event of voluntary termination with at least a 60-day notice by an Executive with more than ten years of consecutive
service to the Company, the Executive&rsquo;s vested stock options will be exercisable after termination for the remaining life of
the grants. The Agreements also provide for compensation in the event of a Change of Control as defined in the Agreement consisting
of an involuntary termination payment as described above and a payment equal to 1% of the consideration payable in connection with a
Change of Control provided that the price offered for the Company&rsquo;s common stock is equal to or greater than $5.00 per share
for Mr. Mills, Mr. Ott and Ms. Zhao or $10.00 per share for Mr. Holmes. The foregoing description of the Employment Agreements does

to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company has adopted provisions in its Certificate of Incorporation that eliminate the personal
liability of directors to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of the directors' fiduciary duties in certain

the Company to indemnify its employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by law.</FONT></P>

to serve as directors and officers. There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, or employee to which
these provisions or agreements would apply.</FONT></P>

Company is focused on its corporate governance practices and values independent board oversight as an essential component of strong corporate
performance to enhance stockholder value. Our commitment to independent oversight is demonstrated by the fact that all of our directors,
except for Mr. Mills and Ms. Zhao are independent. In addition, all of the members of our Board&rsquo;s committees are independent. Our
Board of Directors acts independently of management and regularly holds independent director sessions without members of management present.
In addition, the Company has a separate position of Chairman of the Board which is held by Dr. Bass, an independent director, who provides
additional oversight to the management of the Company. Our Board believes that the current board leadership structure is best for the
Company and its stockholders at this time as it allows the recommendations and decisions of the President and Chief Executive Officer,
who views such recommendations and decisions from a management perspective, to be reviewed and discussed with the Chairman of the Board,
who views such recommendations and decisions from the perspective of an independent director.</FONT></P>

represent a small percentage of total compensation opportunities and results are closely monitored at both management and board levels.

financial statements and maintaining the Company's financial reporting process including the system of internal controls. In fulfilling
its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed with management the audited financial statements in the Annual Report to
the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, including discussing the quality of the accounting
principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, including the identification and assessment of risks, and the clarity of disclosures

discussed with the independent auditors the auditors' independence from management and the Company, including the matters in the written
disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board regarding the independent accountants&rsquo; communications with the audit committee concerning independence.</FONT></P>

overall quality of the Company's financial reporting. The Audit Committee held one meeting with the auditors regarding their audit of
the Company&rsquo;s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, a meeting among the members of the
