Each Director was reimbursed for travel and other expenses incurred in attending meetings. The Company also pays a $5,000 annual retainer to each independent Director and an additional $5,000 annual retainer to the Audit Committee Chairman. Each independent Director also received a grant of 12,000 options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s Option Plan.
On February 9, 2006, the Board of Directors modified the Director compensation arrangements such that the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the non-affiliate independent Directors will receive, at their option, (i) an annual grant of 3,600 deferred stock units, which are rights to receive shares of Common Stock upon termination of service as Director, or (ii) options to purchase 12,000 shares of Common Stock. The stock options and deferred stock units will be issued quarterly in arrears. The exercisability of unvested stock options will be accelerated upon the occurrence of a merger, liquidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company.
Report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on Executive Compensation
The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) is responsible for the oversight of all of the Company’s compensation policies, practices and programs, annual review and approval of Chief Executive Officer and executive officer compensation, and administration of the Company’s stock option and employee stock purchase plans. The Committee’s charter reflects these responsibilities, and the Committee and Board of Directors periodically review and update the charter. Members of the Committee are appointed from the Board annually at the first meeting of the Board following the annual meeting of stockholders. All of the members of the Committee are independent directors as defined by Nasdaq.
Compensation Philosophy. The underlying philosophy of the Company’s compensation programs is that total cash compensation should be aligned with the Company’s performance in achieving financial and non-financial objectives, and that any long-term incentive compensation should be aligned with stockholder interests. This philosophy applies to all of the Company’s employees, with increasing levels of incentive compensation variability and risk as employee responsibilities increase. A key objective of the Company’s executive compensation programs and practices is to attract, retain and reward executives who are responsible for leading the Company in achieving or exceeding corporate performance goals.
The Company’s executive compensation programs generally consist of three principal elements: base salary, cash bonus and equity grants in the form of stock options and restricted stock, with an emphasis on incentive compensation rather than base salary. The Company takes an egalitarian approach to benefits, including the Company’s pension and 401(k) plans, employee stock purchase plan, and health care and other insurance programs. The benefit programs available to executives are the same as those available to all other eligible employees.
7
Base salary determinations reflect, among other factors deemed relevant, competitive pay practices of comparable companies, with a focus on the skills and performance levels of individual executives and the needs of the Company. Bonuses under the Company’s incentive plans reflect, among other relevant items, the Company’s financial performance and achievement of corporate objectives established by the Board of Directors prior to the start of each fiscal year. Stock option and restricted stock awards reflect, among other relevant items, the responsibilities to be assumed by each executive in the upcoming fiscal year, the responsibilities of each executive in prior periods, the size of awards made to each executive in prior years relative to the Company’s overall performance, available stock for issuance under the plans, and potential grants in future years. The Committee believes that stock option and restricted stock grants (1) align the interests of executives with long-term stockholder interests, (2) give executives a significant, long-term interest in the Company’s success, and (3) help retain key executives in a competitive market for executive talent. The Company does, however, monitor general corporate and industry trends and practices and may in the future, for competitive or other reasons, use other equity incentive vehicles in place of, or in combination with, stock options and restricted stock.
In Fiscal 2005, the Committee engaged an executive compensation consulting firm to review, among other things, the Company’s equity compensation plans and practices.
Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer. In determining Mr. Cashman’s total compensation for Fiscal 2005, the Compensation Committee reviewed the analysis and recommendations of its compensation consultant, industry surveys and specific details of compensation paid to chief executive officers of comparable companies, and evaluated the achievement of corporate, individual and organizational objectives for the fiscal year. Mr. Cashman’s annual base compensation for Fiscal 2005 totaled $400,000. In Fiscal 2005, Mr. Cashman also received semi-annual bonuses determined on the basis of the achievement of specific weighted corporate, individual and organizational objectives for the fiscal year. These objectives included, among others, publicly disclosed corporate results, positioning, visibility and image, strategy, functional excellence and operational excellence. Mr. Cashman was awarded aggregate incentive bonuses of $392,500 for Fiscal 2005, as compared with incentive bonuses totaling $325,000 for 2004. Mr. Cashman was also awarded the following long-term incentive compensation in 2005: (1) a stock option grant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock, which becomes exercisable 25% annually in each of 2010 through 2013, and (2) a stock option grant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock, which becomes exercisable 25% annually in each of 2006 through 2009. For Fiscal 2006, Mr. Cashman’s cash compensation will include a base salary of $440,000 and a target incentive bonus of 90% of base salary.
In establishing the level of total executive compensation for the Company’s executive officers for Fiscal 2005, the Committee considered, among other things, the analysis and recommendations of the Committee’s compensation consultant, Company objectives, market competitiveness and retention factors. In Fiscal 2005, the Company’s executive officers received quarterly and annual bonuses determined on the basis of the achievement of individually weighted corporate, individual and organizational objectives measured against individual targets, including, among others, publicly disclosed financial performance, business unit and departmental performance, functional excellence, operational excellence and organizational development.
Deductibility of Executive Compensation. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), limits the federal income tax deductibility of compensation paid to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and to each of the other four most highly compensated executive officers. For this purpose, compensation can include, in addition to cash compensation, the difference between the exercise price of stock options and the value of the underlying stock on the date of exercise. The Company may deduct compensation with respect to any of these individuals only to the extent that during any fiscal year such compensation does not exceed $1 million or meets certain other conditions (such as stockholder approval). Considering the Company’s current compensation plans and policy, the Company and the Committee believe that, for the near future, there is little risk that the Company will lose any significant tax deduction relating to executive compensation. If the deductibility of executive compensation becomes a significant issue, the Company’s compensation plans and policies may be modified to maximize deductibility if the Company and the Committee determine that such action is in the best interests of the Company.

Stockholder Return Performance Graph
Set forth below is a line graph comparing the yearly percentage change in the cumulative total stockholder return on the Company’s Common Stock, based on the market price of the Company’s Common Stock, with the total return of companies included within the Russell 2000 Index, the Nasdaq Stock Market Index and a peer group of three companies (Autodesk, Inc., Parametric Technology Corporation and MSC Software Corporation) selected by the Company, for the period commencing December 31, 2000 and ending December 31, 2005. The calculation of total cumulative return assumes a $100 investment in the Company’s Common Stock, the Russell 2000 Index, the Nasdaq Stock Market Index and the Peer Group Index on January 1, 2000, and the reinvestment of all dividends, and accounts for all stock splits.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
Since February 1994, all executive officer compensation decisions have been made by the Compensation Committee. During Fiscal 2005, the Compensation Committee was comprised of Ms. Morby and Mr. John Smith. The Compensation Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the compensation for top management and key employees of the Company, including salaries and bonuses. No member of the Compensation Committee was or is an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and both members are considered independent as such term is defined in Rule 4200 of the Nasdaq listing requirements. The Company is not aware of any Compensation Committee interlocks.
