Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer also serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors believes maintaining flexibility regarding whether to combine or separate the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer permits it to select the most qualified candidate for the position of Chairman, including a member of management if the Board of Directors believes he or she will provide the most effective leadership for the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors believes that this leadership structure is advantageous because it allows the Company to speak on a unified and consistent basis to its various constituents, both internal and external, and fosters accountability and effective decision-making. The Company does not have a lead independent director.

Risk is inherent in every business. As is the case in virtually all businesses, we face a number of risks, including operational, economic, financial, legal, regulatory, and competitive risks. Our management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks we face. The Board of Directors and each of its standing committees (Audit, Compensation, and Nominations and Corporate Governance) oversee the management of risks inherent in the operation of the Company’s business. The Board of Directors has delegated certain risk management responsibilities to the committees. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee evaluate Company policies with respect to the Company’s liquidity risk, regulatory risk, operational risk, and enterprise risk through reviews, as needed, with management and other advisors. The Board of Directors and the Governance and Nominations Committee monitor the Company’s governance and succession risk through reviews, as needed, with management and outside advisors. The Compensation Committee reviews the impact of the Company’s compensation program and the associated incentives to determine whether they present a significant risk to the Company. The Board of Directors has concluded, based on its reviews and analysis of the Company’s compensation policies and procedures, that such policies and procedures are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of our common stock. The Company’s directors, officers, and greater than 10% stockholders are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely upon our review of the copies of such forms received by us during the year ended December 31, 2014 and written representations that no other reports were required, we believe that each person who, at any time during such fiscal year was a director, executive officers, or 10% stockholder timely complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements during the year ended December 31, 2014, except that the Form 4 filed on June 3, 2014 by Mr. Kuo and the Form 4 filed by Mr. Staudohar on January 13, 2015 were late.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Summary Compensation Table

We believe that it is important to design a compensation program that supports the Company’s business strategy. As a result, our compensation program emphasizes performance-based compensation and is designed to support the Company’s business goals; promote short- and long-term growth; and attract, retain, and motivate key talent. The compensation program is comprised of three components: base salary; bonus awards; and long-term performance incentives.

We believe that our executive officers and other key employees should have a portion of their potential annual compensation tied to our profitability and other Company goals. Additionally, we seek to align the ability to earn long-term incentives directly with the interests of our stockholders through the use of equity-based incentives. We strive to ensure compensation is competitive with companies similar to the Company; however, we acknowledge that base salaries are currently below market.

The following summary compensation table sets forth information concerning compensation for services rendered in all capacities during our past two fiscalyears awarded to, earned by, or paid to the Company’s principal executive officer and each of the two other most highly compensated executiveofficers (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”). Salary and other compensation for these officers and formerofficers were set by the Board of Directors. The Company has historically suffered severe shortages in cash and has structured its compensation policies to providebelow market rate salaries and focus instead on awarding equity.

PROPOSAL 3

ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Background

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), enables our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with the SEC’s rules.

Compensation of Named Executive Officers

We are asking our stockholders to provide advisory approval of the compensation of our named executive officers (which consist of our principal executive officer and our two other most highly compensated executive officers) as such compensation is describedchange in the “Executive Compensation” sectioncomposition of this Proxy Statement. The Company seeks to maintain a compensation program that emphasizes performance-based compensation in order to support the Company’s business goals, promote short- and long-term growth, and attract, retain, and motivate key talent. Because the Company believes that executive compensation should be tied to the profitability of the Company, and because the Company has recognized cash flow shortages, our compensation policies seek to pay below market cash salaries and focus instead on awarding equity. The Company believes that the base salary compensation of its named executive officers is below market.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The following resolution is submitted for a stockholder vote at the meeting:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders of the Company approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement.

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on our Company, our Compensation Committee, or our Board of Directors. Although non-binding, the vote will provide information to our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors regarding investor sentiment aboutor contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of us with another company that the Board determines is not in our executive compensation philosophy, policies, and practices, whichbest interests or in the best interests of our Compensation Committee andshareholders. The ability of our Board of Directors willto cause us to issue substantial amounts of Common Stock or Preferred Stock without the need for shareholder approval, except as may be able to consider when determining executive compensation for the years to come.

Therequired by law or regulation, upon such terms and conditions as our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the compensation paidmay determine from time to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosedtime in the “Executive Compensation” sectionexercise of its business judgment may, among other things, be used to create voting impediments with respect to changes in our control or to dilute the stock ownership of holders of common stock seeking to obtain control of us. The issuance of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with potential financings and other corporate transactions, may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in our control. Our Board of Directors, however, does not intend or view the Share Increase Amendment as an anti-takeover measure, nor does it contemplate its use in this Proxy Statement.manner at any time in the foreseeable future.
