The current members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Hollis, as Chairman, Mr. Rea, and Mr. Sullivan, all of whom are (i) independent directors, as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules and (ii) meet the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of such equity securities.

Compensation of Directors

We reimburse our directors for travel and lodging expenses in connection with attendance at Board and committee meetings. All of our directors are eligible to receive options under our Stock Incentive Plan.

In November 2004, our Board determined that no compensation would be paid to members of the Board who are not “independent”, as defined in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, for their Board service for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2005 (“Fiscal 2005”). Each of the independent directors (Messrs. Hollis, Rea and Sullivan), however, would be compensated for their service on the Audit Committee and the Compensation and Stock Option Committee during Fiscal 2005. The Board determined that each independent director would be entitled to receive, at their election, either (i) cash in the aggregate amount of $25,000 to be paid quarterly during Fiscal 2005 in four equal installments; or (ii) 5,000 nonqualified options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Furthermore, in order to compensate Mr. Hollis for his duties as Chair of the Audit Committee during Fiscal 2005, he would be paid an additional $12,500 in cash (also to be paid quarterly during Fiscal 2005). Messrs. Hollis and Rea elected to receive their compensation in cash, while Mr. Sullivan elected to receive options. Accordingly, we granted options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Sullivan on November 8, 2004. The exercise price of such options is $8.26, which is the fair market value on the date of grant. These options vest over a four-year period and expire 10 years from the date of grant.

Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements

Mr. Varakian and Mr. Rodney are not parties to any employment contracts, termination of employment or change in control arrangements with the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During Fiscal 2004, Messrs. Calhoun, Rea, and Terry served on our Compensation and Stock Option Committee. None of our executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board of Directors or our Compensation and Stock Option Committee.

Voting power includes the power to vote or direct the voting of shares, and investment power includes the power to dispose of or direct the disposition of shares.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

Audit fees

Grant Thornton LLP served as our independent auditors for Fiscal 2004 and for the year ended September 30, 2003 (“Fiscal 2003”). Fees billed for audit services by Grant Thornton LLP totaled approximately $529,000 for Fiscal 2004, including fees associated with the annual audit and the review of our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for Fiscal 2004. Fees billed for audit services from Grant Thornton LLP totaled approximately $471,000 for Fiscal 2003, including fees associated with the annual audit and the review of our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

Audit-related fees

There were no fees billed in Fiscal 2004 for professional services rendered by Grant Thornton LLP for assurance and related services that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and not included in the audit fees for Fiscal 2004 disclosed above. There were also no fees for such services billed in Fiscal 2003.

Tax fees

Fees billed in Fiscal 2004 for professional services rendered by Grant Thornton LLP for tax services, including tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning were approximately $267,000. Fees for tax services billed in Fiscal 2003 by Grant Thornton LLP totaled approximately $127,000 and related to tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.

All other fees

Fees billed in Fiscal 2004 and Fiscal 2003 for products and services provided by Grant Thornton LLP, which are not included in the totals disclosed above, totaled approximately $203,000 and $24,000, respectively, and related to fees for attestation services for matters such as comfort letters and consents related to SEC registration statements and consultation on accounting standards or transactions.

Audit committee pre-approval of audit and permissible non-audit services of independent auditors

Our audit committee is responsible for appointing our independent accountants and approving the terms of the independent accountants’ services. Our audit committee charter provides that the audit committee must review and pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by the independent accountants. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Normally, pre-approval would be provided at regularly scheduled meetings of our audit committee or pursuant to a unanimous written consent. However, the authority to grant specific pre-approval between meetings, as necessary, may be delegated to the chairman of our audit committee whose decisions will be presented to the full audit committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. In connection with making any pre-approval decision, the audit committee or the chairman, as the case may be, must consider whether the provision of such permitted non-audit services by Grant Thornton LLP is consistent with maintaining Grant Thornton LLP’s status as the Company’s independent accountants. Our Audit Committee pre-approved all services that our independent accountants provided to us in the past two fiscal years.
