General Information on Voting

A quorum must exist for voting to take place at the meeting. A quorum exists if holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock are present at the meeting in person or are represented by proxy at the meeting. Shares represented by a proxy marked “abstain” or “withheld” on any matter will be considered present at the meeting for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum, but will not be considered as votes FOR or AGAINST that matter. Shares represented by a proxy as to which there is a “broker non-vote” (that is, where a broker holding your shares in “street” or “nominee” name indicates to us on a proxy that you have given the broker the discretionary authority to vote your shares on some but not all matters), will be considered present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum but will not be voted on matters as to which there is a “broker non-vote.” Abstentions and “broker non-votes” will therefore have no effect on the outcome of any vote taken at the meeting.

The director nominees will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast for the election of directors at the meeting. Thus, the nominees who receive the most votes will be elected as a director. All other matters to be voted upon at the meeting must be approved by a majority of the votes cast on those matters.

        Shares represented by a proxy marked "abstain" or "withheld" on any matter will be considered present at the meeting for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum, but will not be considered as votes FOR or AGAINST that matter. Shares represented by a proxy as to which there is a "broker non-vote" (that is, where a broker holding your shares in "street" or "nominee" name indicates to us on a proxy that you have given the broker the discretionary authority to vote your shares on some but not all matters), will be considered present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum but will not be voted on matters as to which there is a "broker non-vote." Abstentions and "broker non-votes" will therefore have no effect on the outcome of any vote taken at the meeting.

Shares that have been properly voted and not revoked will be voted at the meeting in accordance with the instructions on your proxy card. If you sign your proxy card but do not mark your choices, Leon Kopyt or Stanton Remer, the persons named on the enclosed proxy card, will vote the shares represented by your proxy card:

·

    •
    FOR the persons we nominated for election as director;

    ·                     FOR the adoption of the Company’s 2007 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan; and

    ·

    •
    FOR the ratification of our Audit Committee’sCommittee's appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent accountants for our fiscal year ending December 29, 2007.

    27, 2008.

If any other matters are properly presented at the meeting for consideration, Mr. Kopyt and Mr. Remer will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you. Currently, we are not aware of any such matters.

Costs of Solicitation

We will pay for preparing, assembling and mailing this proxy statement. Our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies through the mails, direct communication or otherwise. None of our directors, officers or employees will receive additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees or fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to stockholders.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Overview of Compensation Program

The Compensation Committee (for purposes of this analysis, the “"Committee”") of the Board has responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring adherence with the Company’sCompany's compensation philosophy. The Committee ensuresseeks to ensure that the total compensation paid to the executives is fair, reasonable and competitive. Generally, the types of compensation and benefits provided to itsour executives, including the actively-employed named executive officers, are similar to those provided to other executive officers.

Throughout this proxy statement, the individuals who served as the Company’sCompany's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer during fiscal 2006,2007, as well as the other individuals included in the Summary Compensation Table on page 13, are referred to as the “named"named executive officers”.officers."

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The Committee believes that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward strong annual operating performance by the Company. Where named executive officers focus specifically on one or more areas of the Company's business, the Committee believes that the cash incentive portion of their compensation should focus on those areas. For the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the cash incentive portion of their compensation is focused on overall Company financial performance, as the Committee believes that their incentive compensation should be aligned with their focus on overseeing the totality of the Company's operations. Where appropriate, the Committee also considers the achievement of the specific annual, long-term and strategic goals by the Company, and which aligns executives’in such cases seeks to align executives' interests with those of the stockholders by rewarding performance above established goals, with the ultimate objective of improving stockholder value. The Committee evaluates both performance and compensation to ensure that the Company maintains its ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of our peer companies. To that end, the Committee believes executive compensation packages provided by the Company to its executives, including the named executive officers, should generally include both cash and stock-based compensation that reward performance as measured against established goals.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

The Committee makes all compensation decisions forregarding the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the other named executive officers. In the case of named executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, and approvesthe Compensation Committee receives recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer regarding their compensation. Additionally the Committee receives recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer regarding equity awards to all elected officers of the Company. Decisions regarding the non-equity compensation of other executives are recommended to the Committee by the Chief Executive Officer.

The Chief Executive Officer annually reviews the performance of each executive (other than the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer whose performance is reviewed solely by the Committee). The conclusions reached and recommendations based on these reviews, including with respect to salary adjustments and annual award amounts, are presented to the Committee. The Committee can exercise its discretion in modifying any recommended adjustments or awards to executives.


Setting Executive Compensation

Based on the foregoing objectives, the Committee has structured the Company’sCompany's annual and long-term incentive-based cash and non-cash executive compensation to motivate executives to achieve the business goals set by the Company and reward the executives for achieving such goals.

Functions of the Compensation Committee

The compensation committee’sCommittee's primary functions include:

·

    •
    reviewing, approving and determining the salaries, bonuses and other benefits of RCM’sRCM's directors and executive officers,


    ·

    •
    recommending to RCM’sRCM's Board amendments to existing stock option plans and the adoption of new stock option plans,

    ·

    •
    negotiating, reviewing, approving and determining the adoption of, or amendments to, any compensatory plans, arrangements or agreements between RCM and its executives, and

    ·

    •
    establishing and reviewing management perquisites.

Components of Compensation

The compensation committeeCommittee generally structures RCM executives’executives' compensation through a combination of the following:

    •
    ·Base Salary:  As a general rule, the compensation committeeCommittee establishes base salaries for RCM’sRCM's executives based upon the individual’sindividual's performance and contribution to RCM. The Committee takes into account base salaries of executives in comparable positions in companies similar to RCM. Some of RCM’sRCM's executives are parties to employment agreements. The salaries of those executives are based on their agreements.



    •
    ·Annual Incentive Compensation:  The compensation committeeCommittee provides annual incentive awards to RCM’sRCM's executives to reward their contributions to RCM. As discussed in more detail below under "2007 Compensation," Mr. Kopyt’sKopyt's bonus is based solely on RCM’sRCM's EBITDA. Mr. Remer’sRemer's bonus is determined based on a combination of EBITDA and certain other factors at the discretion of the chief executive officer.Chief Executive Officer. The other factors include productivity goals such as organization leadership, mentoring and training of administrative staff, and meeting applicable financial and regulatory filing requirements. The bonuses of all other executives are determined based on RCM’sRCM's operating income and certain other factors at the discretion of the chief executive officer,Chief Executive Officer, based on the guidelines established by the compensation committee.

    Committee.

    •
    ·Long-Term Incentive Compensation:  The compensation committeeCommittee periodically grantsconsiders granting stock options and other RCM securities to RCM executives. The compensation committee intends theNo such equity interests were granted in 2007. Any such grants towould be a significant portion of the total executive compensation. The grants are designed to align the interests of each RCM executive with those of the stockholders, and provide each executive with a significant incentive to manage RCM from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business. GrantsWhen made, grants typically permit executives to acquire RCM’sRCM's common stock at a fixed price per share (generally, the market price on the grant date) over a specified period of time (usually up to ten years). The grants provide a return to the executive only if the market price of the shares appreciates over the option term.

The compensation committee bases        In considering any potential grant of an equity award, the size ofCommittee would consider each executive’s option grant upon the executive’s:executive's:

·

    •
    position with RCM,

    ·


      •
      potential for future responsibility over the option term,

      ·

      •
      performance in recent periods, and

      ·

      •
      current holdings of RCM stock and options.

    The compensation committeeCommittee believes that RCM’sRCM's financial performance is a better indicator of executive achievement than its stock price. The compensation committeeCommittee examines a number of financial indicators in assessing RCM’sRCM's performance, including:

    ·

      •
      net sales,

      ·

      •
      operating income,

      ·

      •
      net income, and


      ·

      •
      earnings per share.

    The compensation committeeCommittee does not base compensation decisions upon any precise formula or accord any one factor greater weight than the other factors.

    2007 Compensation

      •
      Base Salary:  For 2007, each of our named executive officers, other than Mr. Campanelli, received a $25,000 increase in base salary over 2006. The increases were intended to compensate the officers for an increase in the cost of living and to bring their salaries more in line with what the Committee believes to be the standard in the industry, though no formal studies were made of either area. Mr. Campanelli did not receive any increase in his base salary because a larger percentage of his compensation is based on the financial performance of the operating units which he has management responsibility.

      •
      Annual Incentive Compensation/Bonus:  Messrs. Kopyt, Remer, Campanelli and Schappert were eligible to receive cash incentive compensation based on the achievement of certain goals established by the Compensation Committee in 2006.

      For Messrs. Kopyt and Remer, these goals were based on overall Company financial performance, measured by the Company's earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"). The Committee has chosen EBITDA as the appropriate measure for use as a performance goal because the Committee believes that EBITDA is a good indicator of financial performance. Mr. Kopyt and Mr. Remer were entitled to receive incentive compensation equal to 2.0% and 0.4%, respectively, of the Company's EBITDA for fiscal year 2007. These levels were chosen because the Committee believes the percentages when applied to EBITDA will adequately compensate Mr. Kopyt and Mr. Remer with respect to the compensation philosophy described above. Accordingly, Mr. Kopyt and Mr. Remer received incentive compensation payments for 2007 of $248,714 and $49,743, respectively. These payment represented 45.2% and 19.9%, respectively, of their annual base salaries.

      The Company's operating managers are entitled to receive incentive compensation based on the achievement by their operating business units with respect to specific financial measures established prior to, or early in, each fiscal year. The Committee believes that linking the performance of the unit managers to their units provides them an incentive to maximize the financial performance of the areas of the Company's business for which they are directly responsible.

      Subject to occasional modification, the methodology for structuring these incentive compensation goals and potential awards is as follow: For each pre-determined financial measure, minimum, target and maximum levels are set. Specified bonuses are established for achievement of the


        minimum and target levels. For achievement over target, the operating managers are entitled to receive an additional amount consisting of a predetermined percentage of the excess over the established target level, up to an established maximum payment. This is done to give incentive to the manager to exceed his target and be rewarded for growth. Messrs. Campanelli and Schappert were eligible to receive incentive compensation under this program.

        Mr. Campanelli was entitled to receive bonuses based on the achievement of the Company's Engineering and Healthcare business units. Minimum targets are based on the achievement certain percentages of budgeted financial performance. Thus, Mr. Campanelli received incentive compensation of $156,993 with respect to the Engineering unit and $11,061 with respect to the Healthcare unit for a total incentive compensation of $168,054.

        Mr. Schappert is Senior Vice President of the Company's IT Consulting Division. Minimum targets are based on the achievement certain percentages of budgeted financial performance. Actual 2007 net operating income of the IT Consulting Division was below the minimum amounts, and therefore Mr. Schappert received no annual incentive compensation for 2007.

        No incentive based performance goals were pre-established for Mr. Miller for 2007. The Committee believes that no such pre-established incentive based goals are appropriate for Mr. Miller because his management responsibilities are not reflected in the operating performance of the Company. He received a bonus of $45,000 for the year. The awarding of the bonus was based on his job performance, specifically with respect to identification of and negotiation with suitable acquisition candidates and to adequately compensate him for his performance.

        Long-Term Incentive Compensation:    As discussed above, the Committee from time to time considers the granting of equity awards to the named executive officers. For 2007, no long-term compensation awards were made because based on the Company's financial performance during the second half of 2007, as well as the decline in the Company's stock price over the latter portion of the year, the Committee determined that no such awards were merited.

    Compensation of Leon Kopyt, RCM’sRCM's Chief Executive Officer

    Leon Kopyt, RCM’sRCM's Chief Executive Officer, participates in the same programs as RCM’sRCM's other executives, and receives compensation based on: the same factors as RCM’sRCM's other executives, his employment agreement and a termination benefits agreement. Mr. Kopyt’sKopyt's overall compensation reflects his degreehigh level of policy and decision-making authority and his level of responsibility with respect to RCM’sRCM's strategic direction and financial and operational results. Mr. Kopyt’sKopyt's compensation for 20062007 was determined based on aan informal study of the compensation of chief executive officers of other companies in the information technology industry, which have financial and corporate characteristics similar to those of RCM. Mr. Kopyt’s compensation components for RCM’s fiscal year ended December 30, 2006 were as follows:

    ·Base Salary:        The Company is party to a Severance Agreement with Mr. Kopyt, received a base salaryamended on December 12, 2007 to comply with the requirements of $525,000.

    ·Annual Incentive Compensation: Pursuantsection 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Severance Agreement"). The agreement provides for certain payments to be made to Mr. Kopyt’s incentive compensation arrangement,Kopyt and for the continuation of Mr. Kopyt's employee benefits for a specified time after his service with the Company is terminated other than "for cause," as defined in the Severance Agreement. Amounts payable to Mr. Kopyt under the Severance Agreement would be offset and reduced by any amounts received a $100,000 bonus forby Mr. Kopyt after his termination of employment under his current employment and termination benefits agreements, which are supplemented and not superseded by the fiscal year endedSeverance Agreement. If Mr. Kopyt had been terminated as of December 30, 2006 based on29, 2007, then under the Company’s earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”). The bonus represented 19.05%terms of the base salary.

    ·Long-Term Incentive Compensation: Mr. Kopyt did not receiveSeverance Agreement, and after offsetting any long term compensation awards during the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006.amounts that would have been received under his current employment and termination benefits agreements, he would have been entitled to cash payments of approximately $3.1 million, inclusive of employee benefits.


    Deductibility Ofof Executive Compensation

    Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the amount of executive compensation RCM may deduct for federal income tax purposes. In general, Section 162(m) only allows a publicly held corporation to deduct up to one million dollars per year of compensation paid to certain executives. The executives whose compensation is subject to limitation under Section 162(m) are those executives who, as of the close of a corporation’scorporation's taxable year, are either the chief executive officer (or an individual acting in such capacity), or an executive whose compensation is required to be reported to stockholders under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by reason of that executive being among the four highest compensated officers of a corporation for the taxable year (other than the chief executive officer). Performance-based compensation is not, however, subject to this deduction limitation if it meets certain requirements. One of the requirements is that performance-based compensation be payable only on the attainment of performance goals that have been approved by a corporation’scorporation's stockholders. Compensation attributable to the exercise of options that are granted with an exercise price at or above the fair market value of the stock subject to the option under a stockholder-approved stock option plan meeting certain requirements is also qualified as performance-based compensation. The compensation committee has generally attempted to structure the compensation it pays to RCM’sRCM's executives subject to Section 162(m) so that compensation that would exceed the one million dollar limitation otherwise imposed under Section 162(m) will qualify for the exemption noted above for performance-based compensation.

    Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

    Beginning on January 1, 2006, the Company began accounting for stock-based payments in accordance with the requirements of FASB Statement 123(R).

      The Plan is intended to replace our 1996 Executive Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”), which terminated by its terms on January 1, 2007. In addition to the 1996 Plan, we maintain the 2000 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”), and have outstanding grants of stock options under our 1994 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan (the “1994 Plan”) and our 1992 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “1992 Plan”). As of March 31, 2007, there were outstanding options to purchase 73,455 shares under the 1992 Plan, 70,000 shares under the 1994 Plan, 988,545 shares under the 1996 Plan, and 493,000 shares under the 2000 Plan. In addition, there are 34,194 shares available for issuance under our 2000 Plan for future grants.

      The Board of Directors believes that the approval of the Plan by our stockholders will further our compensation structure and strategy by providing us with the ability to grant different forms of equity awards, as well as increase the pool of shares of our common stock available for grant. Our ability to attract, retain and motivate top quality employees, non-employee directors, and consultants is material to our success, and the Board of Directors has concluded that this would be enhanced by our ability to make grants under the Plan. In addition, the Board of Directors believes that our interests and the interests of our stockholders will be advanced if we can offer our employees, non-employee directors, and consultants the opportunity to acquire or increase their proprietary interests in us.

      The material terms of the Plan are summarized below. This summary of the Plan is not intended to be a complete description of the Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the actual text of the Plan to which reference is made, which is attached to this proxy as Annex A.

      Material Features of the Plan

      General. The Plan provides that grants may be in any of the following forms: (i) incentive stock options, (ii) nonqualified stock options (incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options collectively are referred to as “options”), (iii) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), (iv) stock units, (v) performance shares, (vi) stock awards, and (vii) other stock-based awards.

      Subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as described below, the aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued or transferred under the Plan is 700,000 shares; provided however, that no more than 350,000 shares of our common stock in the aggregate may be issued pursuant to grants of stock awards, stock units, performance shares and other stock-based awards. If and to the extent options and SARs granted under the Plan terminate, expire or are cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered without having been exercised or if any stock awards, stock units, performance shares, or other stock-based awards are forfeited or terminated, or otherwise not paid in full, the shares subject to such grants which have not been issued will become available again for purposes of the Plan. To the extent any grants are paid in cash, and not in shares of common stock any shares reserved for issuance pursuant to such grants will again be available for grant under the Plan. To the extent SARs are exercised under the Plan, the total number of shares of common stock subject to the exercised portion of the SAR will count against the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan if shares of common stock are paid out upon exercise of the SAR.

      The Plan provides that the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be made with respect to grants to any individual during any fiscal year is 300,000 shares, subject to adjustment as described below.

      If approved by the stockholders, the Plan will become effective on June 15, 2007.

      Administration. The Plan is administered and interpreted by our Compensation Committee; however, an independent committee of the Board of Directors will make grants under the Plan to our non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee has the authority to (i) determine the individuals to whom grants will be made under the Plan, (ii) determine the type, size, and terms of the grants, (iii) determine the time


      when grants will be made and the duration of any applicable exercise or restriction period, including the criteria for exercisability and the possible acceleration of exercisability upon death, disability, retirement or a change in control, (iv) amend the terms of any previously issued grant, subject to the limitations described below, (v) adopt guidelines separate from the Plan that set forth the specific terms and conditions for grants under the Plan, and (vi) deal with any other matters arising under the Plan. The determinations of the Compensation Committee are made in its sole discretion and are final, binding, and conclusive. The Compensation Committee presently consists of Messrs Gilfor and Kerr, each of whom is a non-employee director. Day-to-day administrative functions of the Plan may be performed by our employees, as approved by the Compensation Committee.

      Eligibility for Participation. All of our employees (including officers and members of the Board of Directors) and the employees of our subsidiaries are eligible for grants under the Plan. Our non-employee directors, including non-employee directors of our subsidiaries, are also eligible to receive grants under the Plan. All of our consultants, including consultants of our subsidiaries, are also eligible to receive grants under the Plan. As of March 31, 2007, approximately 2,200 employees, three non-employee directors, and 300 consultants will be eligible to receive grants under the Plan.

      Types of Awards

      Stock Options

      The Compensation Committee may grant options intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code (“ISOs”), so-called “nonqualified stock options” that are not intended to so qualify (“NQSOs”), or any combination of ISOs and NQSOs. Anyone eligible to participate in the Plan may receive a grant of NQSOs. Only our employees and employees of our subsidiaries may receive a grant of ISOs.

      The Compensation Committee fixes the exercise price per share for options on the date of grant. The exercise price of any option granted under the Plan will be equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock on the date of grant; however, if a participant who will be granted an ISO is a person who holds more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our outstanding stock or any of our subsidiaries, the exercise price per share of an ISO granted to such person must be at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value of shares of common stock, determined on the date of grant, with respect to which ISOs become exercisable for the first time by a participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such ISOs will be treated as NQSOs.

      The Compensation Committee determines the term of each option, provided, however, that the term may not exceed ten years from the date of grant and, if the recipient of an ISO is a person who holds more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of our outstanding stock or any of our subsidiaries, the term for such person may not exceed five years from the date of grant. The vesting period for options commences on the date of grant and ends on such date as is determined by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, which is specified in the grant letter. Options may be exercised while the participant is employed by us or providing service to us or within a specified period of time after termination of such employment or service, as determined by the Compensation Committee. A participant may exercise an option by delivering notice of exercise to us or our designated agent. The participant will pay the exercise price and any withholding taxes for the option: (i) in cash or by certified or cashier’s check, (ii) with the approval of the Compensation Committee, by delivering shares of our common stock already owned by the participant and having a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price or through attestation to ownership of such shares, (iii) in cash, on the T+3 settlement date that occurs after the exercise date specified in the notice of exercise, or (iv) by such other method as the Compensation Committee may approve, to the extent permitted by applicable law.


      SARs

      The Compensation Committee may grant SARs to anyone eligible to participate in the Plan. Upon exercise of an SAR, the participant will receive an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of exercise over the base amount set forth in the grant letter. Such payment to the participant will be in cash, in shares of common stock, or in a combination of cash and shares of common stock, as determined by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee will determine the period when SARs vest and become exercisable, the base amount for SARs, and whether SARs will be granted in connection with, or independently of, any options. SARs may be exercised while the participant is employed by us or providing service to us or within a specified period of time after termination of such employment or service, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

      Stock Units

      The Compensation Committee may grant stock units to anyone eligible to participate in the Plan. Each stock unit provides the participant with the right to receive a share of common stock or an amount based on the value of a share of common stock at a future date. The Compensation Committee determines the number of stock units that will be granted, whether stock units will become payable if specified performance goals or other conditions are met, and the other terms and conditions applicable to the stock units. Stock units may be paid at the end of a specified period or deferred to a date authorized by the Compensation Committee. If a stock unit becomes distributable, it will be paid to the participant in cash, in shares of common stock, or in a combination of cash and shares of common stock, as determined by the Compensation Committee. No performance-based Stock Units shall vest over a period of less than one year and all time-based Stock Units shall vest over a period of not less than three years.

      Performance Shares

      The Compensation Committee may grant performance shares to anyone eligible to participate in the Plan. Each performance share provides the participant with the right to receive a share of common stock or an amount based on the value of a share of common stock if specified performance goals are met. The Compensation Committee determines the number of performance shares that will be granted, the performance goals, the target amount that will be paid, and the other terms and conditions applicable to the performance shares. Payments with respect to performance shares will be made in cash, in shares of common stock, or in a combination of cash and shares of common stock, as determined by the Compensation Committee. All Performance Shares shall vest over a period of not less than one year.

      Stock Awards

      The Compensation Committee may grant stock awards to anyone eligible to participate in the Plan. The Compensation Committee may require that participants pay consideration for the stock awards and may impose restrictions on the stock awards. If restrictions are imposed on stock awards, the Compensation Committee will determine whether they will lapse over a period of time or according to such other criteria as the Compensation Committee determines appropriate. The Compensation Committee determines the number of shares of common stock subject to the grant of stock awards and the other terms and conditions of the grant. Unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, a participant will have the right to vote shares of common stock and to receive dividends or other distributions paid on such shares during the restriction period. The Compensation Committee may determine that a participant’s entitlement to dividends or other distributions with respect to stock awards will be subject to the achievement of performance goals or other conditions. All performance-based Stock Awards shall vest over a period of not less than one year and all time-based Stock Awards shall vest over a period of not less than three years.


      Other Stock-Based Awards

      The Compensation Committee may grant other types of stock-based awards that would not otherwise constitute options, SARs, stock units, performance shares, and stock awards. The Compensation Committee may grant other stock-based awards to anyone eligible to participate in the Plan. These grants will be cash-based or based on or measured by shares of our common stock and will be payable in cash, in shares of our common stock, or in a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. The terms and conditions for these grants will be determined by the Compensation Committee. All performance-based Other Stock Based Awards shall vest over a period of not less than one year and all time-based Other Stock Based Awards shall vest over a period of not less than three years.

      Qualified Performance Compensation. The Plan permits the Compensation Committee to impose and specify objective performance goals that must be met with respect to grants of stock units, performance shares, stock awards, and other stock-based awards to employees. The Compensation Committee will determine the performance periods for the performance goals. Forfeiture of all or part of any such grant will occur if the performance goals are not met, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Prior to, or soon after the beginning of, the performance period, the Compensation Committee will establish in writing the performance goals that must be met, the applicable performance periods, the amounts to be paid if the performance goals are met, and any other conditions.

      The performance goals, to the extent designed to meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, will be based on one or more of the following measures: common stock price, earnings per share of common stock, net earnings, operating earnings, return on assets, stockholder return, return on equity, growth in assets, unit volume, sales, market share, or strategic business criteria consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specific revenue goals, market penetration goals, geographic business expansion goals, cost goals, or goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures. The foregoing measures may be based on the employee’s business unit or our performance, our subsidiaries, us and our subsidiaries as a whole, or a combination of the foregoing.

      Deferrals. The Compensation Committee may permit or require participants to defer receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of shares of common stock that would otherwise be due to the participant in connection with a grant under the Plan. The Compensation Committee will establish the rules and procedures applicable to any such deferrals.

      Adjustment Provisions. If there is any change in the number or kind of shares of common stock by reason of a stock dividend, spinoff, recapitalization, stock split, or combination or exchange of shares; by reason of a merger, reorganization, or consolidation; by reason of a recapitalization or change in par value or by reason of any other extraordinary or unusual event affecting the outstanding shares of common stock as a class without our receipt of consideration, or if the value of outstanding shares of common stock is substantially reduced as a result of a spinoff or our payment of an extraordinary dividend or distribution, the number of shares of common stock available for grants, the limit on the number of shares of common stock for which any individual may receive pursuant to grants in any fiscal year, the number of shares covered by outstanding grants, the kind of shares to be issued or transferred under the Plan, and the price per share or the applicable market value of such grants will be equitably adjusted by the Compensation Committee, in such manner as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate, to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of, or change in the kind or value of, issued shares of common stock in order to preclude, to the extent practicable, the enlargement or dilution of rights and benefits under such grants.

      Change in Control. In the event of a change in control, grants will automatically become fully vested and exercisable, as applicable, but only with respect to those participants who, in the good faith determination and sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, are likely to have their relationship with us or our successor terminated (including a constructive termination through a significant decrease in authority, responsibility or overall total compensation) as a result of such change in control.


      If a change in control occurs where we are not the surviving corporation (or we survive as a subsidiary of another corporation), unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, all outstanding options and SARs that are not exercised will be assumed by, or replaced with comparable options and rights by, the surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation), and other grants that remain outstanding will be converted to similar grants of the surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation).

      Further, in the event of a change in control, the Compensation Committee may take any of the following actions: (i) determine that outstanding options and SARs will automatically accelerate and become fully or partially exercisable; (ii) determine that the restrictions and conditions on outstanding stock awards will fully or partially lapse; (iii) provide that participants holding outstanding performance shares will receive payment in settlement of all or a portion of such performance shares, in an amount determined by the Compensation Committee, based on the participant’s target payment for the performance period and the portion of the performance period that precedes the change in control; (iv) determine that outstanding stock units will become payable in cash or common stock in an amount not less than their target amount, as determined by the Compensation Committee; (v) provide that other stock-based awards will become payable, in full or in part, in cash or common stock, in amounts determined by the Compensation Committee; (vi) require the surrender of outstanding options and SARs for payment in cash, common stock or other property, equal to the difference between the exercise price or base amount and the fair market value of the common stock; (vii) after providing participants with the ability to exercise their outstanding options and SARs, terminate such options and SARs; and/or (viii) with respect to outstanding stock units, performance shares or other stock-based awards, provide for a payment in settlement of such grants in an amount and form determined by the Compensation Committee.

      Foreign Participants. If any individual who receives a grant under the Plan is subject to taxation in countries other than the United States, the Plan provides that the Compensation Committee may make grants to such individuals on such terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee determines appropriate to comply with the laws of the applicable countries.

      Repricing of Options. The Plan includes a restriction providing that, without stockholder approval, neither the Compensation Committee nor the Board of Directors can amend or replace options previously granted under the Plan in a transaction that constitutes a “repricing,” as that term is defined under the NASDAQ corporate governance listing standards. Adjustments to the exercise price or number of shares of common stock subject to an option to reflect the effects of a stock split or other extraordinary corporate transaction will not constitute a “repricing.”

      Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the Plan at any time, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required under any applicable laws or stock exchange requirements. No grants may be issued under the Plan after June 15, 2016.

      Grants Under the Plan. No grants have been awarded under the Plan. It is currently not possible to predict the number of shares of common stock that will be granted or who will receive any grants under the Plan after stockholder approval at the meeting.

      The last sales price of our common stock on April 9, 2007 was $7.81 per share.

      Federal Income Tax Consequences

      The federal income tax consequences arising with respect to grants awarded under the Plan will depend on the type of grant. The following provides only a general description of the application of federal income tax laws to certain grants under the Plan. This discussion is intended for the information of stockholders considering how to vote at the meeting and not as tax guidance to participants in the Plan, as the consequences may vary with the types of grants made, the identity of the recipients, and the method of


      payment or settlement. The summary does not address the effects of other federal taxes (including possible “golden parachute” excise taxes) or taxes imposed under state, local, or foreign tax laws.

      From the recipients’ standpoint, as a general rule, ordinary income will be recognized at the time of payment of cash or delivery of actual shares of common stock. Future appreciation on shares of common stock held beyond the ordinary income recognition event will be taxable at capital gains rates when the shares of common stock are sold. We, as a general rule, will be entitled to a tax deduction that corresponds in time and amount to the ordinary income recognized by the recipient, and we will not be entitled to any tax deduction in respect of capital gain income recognized by the recipient.

      Exceptions to these general rules may arise under the following circumstances: (i) if shares of common stock, when delivered, are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture by reason of failure to satisfy any employment-, service-, or performance-related condition, ordinary income taxation and our tax deduction will be delayed until the risk of forfeiture lapses (unless the recipient makes a special election to ignore the risk of forfeiture); (ii) if an employee is granted an option that qualifies as an “incentive stock option,” no ordinary income will be recognized, and we will not be entitled to any tax deduction, if shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of such option are held more than the longer of one year from the date of exercise and two years from the date of grant; (iii) we will not be entitled to a tax deduction for compensation attributable to grants to our chief executive officer or any of our four other most highly compensated officers, if and to the extent such compensation does not qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, and such compensation, along with any other non-performance-based compensation paid in the same calendar year, exceeds $1 million; and (iv) a grant may be taxable to the recipient at 20 percentage points above ordinary income tax rates at the time it becomes vested, plus interest, even if that is prior to the delivery of the cash or common stock in settlement of the grant, if the grant constitutes “deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and the requirements of Section 409A of the Code are not satisfied.

      Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a publicly held corporation’s tax deduction for compensation paid to its chief executive officer or any of its four other most highly compensated officers in excess of $1,000,000 in any year. Compensation that qualifies as performance-based compensation is excluded from the $1,000,000 deductibility cap and therefore remains fully deductible by the corporation that pays it. We intend that options and SARs will qualify as performance-based compensation. Stock units, performance shares, stock awards, and other stock-based awards granted under the Plan will only qualify as performance-based compensation when the Compensation Committee conditions such grants on the achievement of specific performance goals in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.

      The Plan provides that we have the right to require the recipient of any grant under the Plan to pay to us an amount necessary to satisfy our federal, state, or local tax withholding obligations with respect to such grants. We may withhold from other amounts payable to such individual an amount necessary to satisfy these obligations. If the Compensation Committee permits, a participant may satisfy our withholding obligation by having shares acquired pursuant to the grant withheld, provided that the number of shares withheld does not exceed the individual’s minimum applicable withholding tax rate for federal, state, and local tax liabilities. The Plan also provides that the Compensation Committee may permit a participant to satisfy our withholding obligation that exceeds the minimum applicable withholding tax rate by transferring to us previously acquired shares of our common stock.

      Votes Required for Approval of Proposal No. 2

      The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by all the stockholders entitled to vote for this proposal will be required for approval. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to this proposal will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. However, under Nevada


      law, a proxy marked “ABSTAIN” is not considered a vote cast. Accordingly, an abstention will have no effect on the approval of this proposal.

      Recommendation of the Board of Directors

      THE BOARD HAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE 2007 OMNIBUS EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN AND RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL NO. 2.

      PROPOSAL 3

      RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT
      OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

      Our Audit Committee has selected Grant Thornton LLP to act in the capacity of independent accountants for the current fiscal year.year ending December 27, 2008. Ratification and approval by the stockholders will be sought by the Board of Directors for the selection of Grant Thornton LLP as independent accountants to audit our accounts and records for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2007,27, 2008, and to perform other appropriate services. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our voting stock is required to ratify the selection of Grant Thornton LLP. In the event that a majority of the shares voted at the Annual Meeting do not vote for ratification of the selection of Grant Thornton LLP, the Audit Committee will reconsider such selection.

      Representatives of Grant Thornton LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and to respond to questions by stockholders.

      Fees Billed by Grant Thornton LLP during 20062007 and 20052006

      Audit Fees.    Fees billed to the Company by Grant Thornton LLP during 20062007 and 20052006 for audit services rendered by Grant Thornton LLP for the audit of the Company’sCompany's annual financial statements for such years, for the review of those financial statements included in the Company’sCompany's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q during such years, and for services that are normally provided by Grant


      Thornton LLP in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, totaled $169,000$191,600 and $149,000,$169,000, respectively.

      Audit-Related Fees.    Fees billed to the Company by Grant Thornton LLP during 20062007 and 20052006 for audit-related services that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’sCompany's financial statements and are not reported under the preceding paragraph totaled $0 and $10,700,$0, respectively.

      Tax Fees.    Fees billed to the Company by Grant Thornton LLP during 20062007 and 20052006 for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning totaled $10,900 and $25,300, and $37,000 respectively.

      All Other Fees.    Grant Thornton LLP was engaged by the Company during 20062007 and 20052006 to perform certain non-audit services. The aggregate fees billed by Grant Thornton LLP for those other services during 2007 and 2006 were $26,000 and 2005 were $37,700, and $16,400, respectively. In fiscal year 20062007 and 2005,2006, the fees of $0 and $16,400,$0, respectively, related to the audit of the Company’sCompany's 401(k) plan.

      The Audit Committee has considered whether Grant Thornton LLP’sLLP's provision of services other than professional services rendered for the audit and review of our financial statements is compatible with maintaining Grant Thornton LLP’sLLP's independence, and has determined that it is so compatible.

      23



      The Audit Committee has been informed by Grant Thornton LLP that less than 50 percent of the hours expended on Grant Thornton LLP’sLLP's engagement to audit our financial statement for the fiscal year ended December 30, 200629, 2007 were attributed to work performed by persons other than Grant Thornton LLP’sLLP's full-time, permanent employees.

      All audit, audit-related, tax and other services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to applicable regulations. The Audit Committee currently pre-approves all engagements of the Company’sCompany's accountants to provide both audit and non-audit services, and has not established formal pre-approval policies or procedures. The Audit Committee did not approve any non-audit services pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)2-01 (c) (7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X during 2006.2007.

      OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF THE SELECTION OF GRANT THORNTON LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS FOR FISCAL 2007.2008.

      REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

      The following Report of the Audit Committee does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this Report by reference therein.

      As part of its oversight of the Company’sCompany's financial statements, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with both management and the Company’sCompany's outside auditors all financial statements prior to their issuance. Management advised the Committee in each case that all financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and reviewed significant accounting issues with the Committee. These reviews included discussion with the outside auditors of matters required to be discussed pursuant toStatement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees).

      The Committee also discussed with Grant Thornton LLP matters relating to its independence, including a review of audit and non-audit fees and the written disclosures made to the Committee pursuant toIndependence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees).

      In addition, the Committee reviewed major initiatives and programs aimed at strengthening the effectiveness of the Company’sCompany's internal control structure. As part of this process, the Committee continued to monitor the scope and adequacy of the Company’sCompany's internal auditing program, reviewing staffing levels and steps taken to implement recommended improvements in internal procedures and controls.

      Taking all of these reviews and discussions into account, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Board approve the inclusion of the Company’sCompany's audited financial statements in the Company’sCompany's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 200629, 2007 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

      CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS

      Stockholder Communications with the Board.    Stockholders may send communications to the Board of Directors in writing, addressed to the full Board of Directors, individual directors or a specific committee of the Board of Directors, care of Stanton Remer, Secretary, RCM Technologies, Inc., 2500 McClellan Avenue, Suite 350, Pennsauken, New Jersey 08109. In general, all stockholder communications sent to our Secretary for forwarding to the Board of Directors, or to specified Board members, will be forwarded in accordance with the sender’ssender's instructions. However, our Secretary reserves the right to not forward to Board members any abusive, threatening or otherwise inappropriate materials.

      Director Attendance at Annual Meetings.    The Company encourages all of the directors to attend the annual meeting of stockholders. The 20062007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders was attended by all of the directors.

      Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics.    We have adopted a Code of Conduct applicable to all of our directors, officers and employees. In addition, we have adopted a Code of Ethics, within the meaning of applicable Commission rules, applicable to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Controller. Both our Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics are available free of charge by sending a written request to Stanton Remer, Secretary, RCM Technologies, Inc., 2500 McClellan Avenue, Suite 350, Pennsauken, New Jersey 08109. If we make any amendments to either of these Codes (other than technical, administrative, or other non-substantive amendments), or waive (explicitly or implicitly) any provision of the Code of Ethics to the benefit of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Controller, we will disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver, its effective date and to whom it applies in the investor relations portion of our website at www.rcmt.com, or in a report on Form 8-K that we file with the Commission.

      Related Party Transaction Approval Policy.    Our Code of Conduct mandates that officers and directors bring promptly to the attention of our Compliance Officer, currently our Chief Financial Officer, any transaction or series of transactions that may result in a conflict of interest between that person and the Company. Furthermore, our Audit Committee must review and approve any “related party”"related party" transaction as defined in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, before it is consummated. Following any disclosure to our Compliance Officer, the Compliance Officer will then typically review with the Chairman of our Audit Committee the relevant facts disclosed by the officer or director in question. After this review, the Chairman of the Audit Committee and the Compliance Officer determine whether the matter should be brought to the Audit Committee or the full Board of Directors for approval.

However, an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to an Employee who, at the Date of Grant, owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of RCM, or any Parent or Subsidiary, may not have a term that exceeds five years from the Date of Grant.

          (e)   Exercisability of Options.   Options shall become exercisable in accordance with such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee and specified in the Grant Letter.

The provisions of this Section 13 shall apply to any such Grants that are to be considered “qualified performance-based compensation” under section 162(m) of the Code. To the extent that Grants of Stock Units, Performance Shares, Stock Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards designated as “qualified performance-based compensation” under section 162(m) of the Code are made, no such Grant may be made as an alternative to another Grant that is not designated as “qualified performance based compensation” but instead must be separate and apart from all other Grants made.

          (b)   Performance Goals.   When Stock Units, Performance Shares, Stock Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards that are to be considered “qualified performance-based compensation” are granted, the Committee shall establish in writing (i) the objective performance goals that must be met; (ii) the period during which performance will be measured; (iii) the maximum amounts that may be paid if the performance goals are met; and (iv) any other conditions that the Committee deems appropriate and consistent with the Plan and the requirements of section 162(m) of the Code for “qualified performance-based compensation.” The performance goals shall satisfy the requirements for “qualified performance-based compensation,” including the requirement that the achievement of the goals be substantially uncertain at the time they are established and that the performance goals be established in such a way that a third party with knowledge of the relevant facts could determine whether and to what extent the performance goals have been met. The Committee shall not have discretion to increase the amount of compensation that is payable upon achievement of the designated performance goals, but the Committee may reduce the amount of compensation that is payable upon achievement of the designated performance goals.

          (c)   Criteria Used for Objective Performance Goals.   The Committee shall use objectively determinable performance goals based on one or more of the following criteria: Stock price, earnings per share of Stock, net earnings, operating earnings, return on assets, stockholder return, return on equity, growth in assets, unit volume, sales, market share, or strategic business criteria consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specific revenue goals, market penetration goals, geographic business expansion goals, cost goals, or goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures. The performance goals may relate to the Participant’s business unit or the performance of RCM, a Subsidiary, or RCM and its Subsidiaries as a whole, or any combination of the foregoing. Performance goals need not be uniform as among Participants.

          (d)   Timing of Establishment of Goals.   The Committee shall establish the performance goals in writing either before the beginning of the performance period or during a period ending no later than the earlier of (i) 90 days after the beginning of the performance period or (ii) the date on which 25% of the performance period has been completed, or such other date as may be required or permitted under applicable regulations under section 162(m) of the Code.

          (e)   Certification of Results.   The Committee shall certify and announce the results for the performance period to all Participants after RCM announces RCM’s financial results for the performance period. The Committee shall determine the amount, if any, to be paid pursuant to each Grant based on the achievement of the performance goals and the terms of each Grant Letter.

          (f)    Death, Disability or Other Circumstances.   The Committee may provide in the Grant Letter that Grants shall be payable, in whole or in part, in the event of the Participant’s death or disability, a Change in Control or under other circumstances consistent with the Treasury regulations and rulings under section 162(m) of the Code.

          (b)   Election to Withhold Shares.   If the Committee so permits, a Participant may elect to satisfy the Company’s tax withholding obligation with respect to Grants paid in Stock by having shares withheld, at the time such Grants become taxable, up to an amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable withholding tax rate for federal (including FICA), state and local tax liabilities. In addition,independent auditor with respect to any required tax withholding amountdisclosed relationships or services that exceedsmay have an impact on the minimum applicable withholding tax rate, the Committee may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation with respect to such excess amount by providing that the Participant may elect to deliver to RCM shares of Stock owned by the Participant that have been held by the Participant for the requisite period of time to avoid adverse accounting consequences to RCM.
