Director Compensation
 
During the 2007 fiscal year, none of the directors received any compensation for their service on the Board of Directors.
 
Equity Compensation Plan
 
The Company’s only equity compensation plan is the 2006 Stock Ownership Incentive Plan (“Plan”). The Plan was approved by shareholders at the Company’s most recent Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  The purpose of the Plan is to enhance the ability of the Company to secure and retain the services of qualified employees and non-employee directors and to provide incentives for such employees and non-employee directors to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company.
 
Authorized Shares.  The number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan is 950,000 shares. Shares as to which options or other awards under the Plan lapse, expire, terminate, are forfeited or are canceled will again be available for awards under the Plan.
 
In the event of any change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Common Stock, such as a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split or similar transaction, the Board of Directors or any administering committee appointed by the Board (“Committee”) will substitute or adjust the total number and class of securities which may be issued under the Plan and the number, class and price of shares subject to outstanding awards as it, in its discretion, determines to be appropriate and equitable to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of participants and to preserve the value of outstanding awards.
 
Eligible Participants.  Full-time employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and non-employee directors of the Company are eligible to receive awards under the Plan. Participants will be selected by the Board (or the Committee). As of May 31, 2007, the Company had approximately 21 full-time employees.
 

Administration of the Plan.  The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or a Committee appointed by the Board to administer the Plan. The Board or the Committee will determine, subject to the terms of Plan, the persons to receive awards, the size, type and frequency of awards, the terms and conditions of each award, and whether any performance goals have been met. The Board of Directors or the Committee will also have the power to accelerate the exercisability of awards, waive restrictions and conditions applicable to awards, and interpret the provisions of the Plan.
 
Limitations on Awards.  The Plan provides for the grant of stock options and restricted stock. No more than 450,000 shares of restricted stock may be awarded under the Plan. In addition, no person may be granted more than 100,000 shares of restricted stock or options for more than 200,000 shares during any calendar year. In the event of any change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Common Stock, such as a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split or similar transaction, the Board of Directors or the Committee will make appropriate and equitable adjustments to the award limitations under the Plan.
 
No Repricing.  Without shareholder approval, neither the Board of Directors nor the Committee will have any authority, with or without the consent of the holders of awards, to “reprice” any awards after the date of initial grant with a lower exercise price in substitution for the original exercise price.
 
Change in Control.  Upon a Change in Control, as defined in the Plan, all outstanding options will become fully vested and immediately exercisable. In addition, any restrictions and other conditions pertaining to restricted stock held by participants will lapse and such shares will become immediately transferable and nonforfeitable, subject to applicable securities law requirements.
 
Termination of the Plan.  The Plan will terminate on the earliest of (a) the 10th anniversary of its effective date; (b) the date when all shares available for issuance under the Plan have been acquired and payment of all benefits in connection with awards under the Plan has been made; or (c) such other date as the Board of Directors may determine.

Accordingly, the shares subject to these options were not exercisable and beneficially owned by Mr. Buckman or Mr. Stone at May 31, 2007.
 
Item 12.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
 
Employment Agreements
 
On October 9, 2006, the Company entered into Employment Agreements with Vincent C. Buckman and Samuel J. Stone with regard to their service as President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively.
 
Each of the Employment Agreements has a two-year term and is automatically extended for one additional year at the end of the initial term and each extension period, unless one party gives the other party at least 60 days notice prior to the end of the applicable term.  Mr. Buckman’s annual base salary is $120,000 and Mr. Stone’s annual base salary is $102,000.  Mr. Buckman and Mr. Stone will be considered for bonuses annually by the Board of Directors based on their performance during the preceding year.  Bonuses may be paid in cash, stock or a combination thereof, in the discretion of the Board.
 
Mr. Buckman’s Employment Agreement provided that the Company would grant him options to purchase an aggregate of 545,455 shares of Common Stock at the fair market value on the date of grant as follows: (a) an option to purchase 300,000 shares within 30 days of the date on which his employment commenced in October 2006; (b) an option to purchase 122,728 shares on the first anniversary date of the Employment Agreement (October 2007); and (c) an option to purchase 122,727 shares on the second anniversary date of the Employment Agreement (October 2008).
 

Mr. Stone’s Employment Agreement provided that the Company would grant him options to purchase an aggregate of 454,545 shares of Common Stock at the fair market value on the date of grant as follows: (a) an option to purchase 250,000 shares within 30 days of the date on which his employment commenced (October 2006); (b) an option to purchase 102,273 shares on the first anniversary date of the Employment Agreement (October 2007); and (c) an option to purchase 102,272 shares on the second anniversary date of the Employment Agreement (October 2008).
 
All options granted pursuant to the Employment Agreements will have a term of five years and will vest in three equal annual installments, commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant.
 
The Employment Agreements may be terminated by the Company on the death or disability of the executive officer, or in the event that such executive officer engages in any act constituting “misconduct” as defined in the Employment Agreement.  The Executive Officers may terminate their Employment Agreements if the Company materially breaches any material provision of the Employment Agreement or following a Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement).  If the Executive Officer terminates the Employment Agreement for “cause”, the Executive Officer will be entitled to a monthly salary equal to the base salary set forth in the Employment Agreement for a period of 12 months following termination of employment.
 
Both Employment Agreements provide for reimbursement for reasonable business and travel expenses and reimbursement of $500 per month for housing expenses during the first year.  The Executive Officers will be entitled to participate in any other individual or group life insurance, health insurance, qualified pension or profit sharing plan or any other fringe benefit program which the Company may from time to time make available to its executive employees.  The Company has also agreed to indemnify the Executive Officers to the full extent permitted by law and to the extent that the Company obtains or maintains directors and officers liability insurance covering any executive officers of the Company, to provide such insurance to the Executive Officers.  The Employment Agreements contain provisions relating to non-disclosure of proprietary information and a covenant not to compete with the Company for one year following termination of employment in certain geographic areas.  The Employment Agreements also provide that the Executive Officers will not, while employed by the Company and for a period of one year following termination, directly or indirectly solicit or induce any employee of the Company to leave the Company or hire any individual employed by the Company.
 
On February 1, 1998, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Paul D. Clark, pursuant to which the Company employed Mr. Clark for successive three-year terms.  The agreement provided for an initial base salary of $78,500 per year and the provision of family health insurance, and a $100,000 whole life insurance policy.  As of January 1, 2007, this employment agreement was modified to provide for a $12,000 per year base salary.
 
 
Related Party Transactions
 
We have entered into two operating leases with Paul D. Clark, Chairman of the Board and principal shareholder of the Company, for the lease of an aggregate of approximately 32,000 square feet of office and warehouse space located in Bowling Green, Kentucky.  The leases provide for a monthly rent of $7,200 in the aggregate plus maintenance expenses. In January 2007, the monthly rent was increased to $7,920 as a result of an increase in property taxes. One of the leases expires in August 2008 and the other lease expires in September 2008. The Company believes that the terms of these leases are at least as favorable as those which could have been obtained from an unrelated third party.
 
During the last fiscal year, as well as in prior years, a portion of Mr. Clark’s salary was deferred.  In addition, from time to time, Mr. Clark has advanced amounts on behalf of the Company for which the Company has issued Mr. Clark a promissory note.  As of May 31, 2007, the Company owed Mr. Clark $189,625 for cash advanced for inventory and $263,100 in deferred compensation.  During the year ended May 31, 2007, Mr. Clark was paid $18,366 principal and $7,419 interest as repayment for cash advanced.
