 Item 11.
Executive Compensation
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview
 
This compensation discussion and analysis explains the Company’s policies and philosophies regarding executive compensation and the material elements of the compensation earned by, and paid to each of the Company’s executive officers and two other most highly compensated employees during the last completed fiscal year.
 
Compensation Policies and Philosophy
 
The Compensation Committee currently oversees the design and administration of the Company’s executive compensation program.  The Compensation Committee’s primary objectives in structuring and administering our executive officer compensation program are to: attract, reward and retain executive officers who contribute to the Company’s success; provide economic incentives for executive officers to achieve the Company’s business and financial objectives by linking the executive officers’ compensation to the performance of the Company; strengthen the relationship between executive pay and stockholder value; and reward individual performance.
 
To achieve these objectives, the Compensation Committee endeavors to implement and maintain compensation packages that are performance-oriented and designed to link the Company’s strategic business objectives, specific financial performance objectives and the enhancement of shareholder returns with the compensation of the Company’s executives, including the Named Executive Officers, using a combination of base salary, cash bonuses and restricted stock awards.  The Compensation Committee evaluates, among other things, the following factors for each of the executives; (1) specialized education and training, and work experience; (2) the individual’s work ethic and ability to perform required tasks; (3) the individual’s knowledge of his or her job; and (4) the individual’s ability to work with others toward the achievement of the Company’s goals.  The Compensation Committee also evaluates corporate performance by considering factors such as the Company’s performance relative to the business environment and the success of the Company in meeting its business and financial objectives.  In reviewing the above listed factors regarding both individual and corporate performance, the Compensation Committee relies on its subjective evaluation.   The Company believe that it is important to reward excellence, leadership and outstanding long-term company performance in a form designed to retain and motivate executives while aligning their incentives with continued high levels of performance.
 
-42-

The Compensation Committee’s practice is to establish the annual compensation packages for our executive officers near the start of the fiscal year.  The Compensation Committee may conduct additional analyses of compensation trends and assessments of the Company’s competitive position at other times during the year to address changes in the market for executive services or special circumstances affecting the Company.
 
Components of Compensation
 
The compensation of executive officers consists of three principal components: base salary, cash incentive bonuses and grants of restricted stock. The Compensation Committee believes that the combination of these elements is essential to attracting and retaining talented and hard-working individuals and aligning their incentives with the interests of our stockholders. The Compensation Committee does not adopt express formulae for weighting different elements of compensation or for allocating between long-term and short-term compensation but strives to develop comprehensive packages that are competitive with those offered by other companies with which the Company competes to attract and retain talented executives.
 
Base Salary
 
The Compensation Committee conducts an annual review of the base salary for each senior executive officers.  Each year after the completion of the Company’s fiscal year end, the Compensation Committee meets with the Chief Executive Officer to consider the individual and corporate performance factors outlined above, the success of the Company in meeting its business and financial objectives, and the overall contribution of each executive officer in helping to attain those objectives.  The Compensation Committee also considers each executive officer’s qualifications, duties and responsibilities. 
 
Cash Bonuses
 
The Company’s executives are eligible to receive cash incentive bonuses on an annual basis.  This element of compensation is designed to motivate the Company’s employees to meet the business and financial objectives of the Company because it is tied to the profitability of the Company.  The formula for calculating the annual cash bonus is determined at the beginning of each fiscal year.  The Board retains the authority to award discretionary cash bonuses to the executive officers.
 
Equity Compensation
 
The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board for the awarding of equity-based, long-term incentive compensation.  The Compensation Committee believes that stock grants to executive officers provide incentives for executive officers to build stockholder value and thereby align the interests of the executive officers with the stockholders. The Compensation Committee also believes that these grants, which vest over a period of years, provide incentives for executive officers to remain with the Company.  In determining the number of shares granted in any fiscal year, the Compensation Committee considers such factors as the seniority of the executive officer, the contribution that the executive officer is expected to make to the Company in the coming years and has made to the Company in the past, and the size of prior grants to the executive officer. 
 
-43-

Perquisites
 
The Company annually reviews the perquisites that senior executives receive.  Executive officers are provided with the use of a vehicle, and in some instances, reimbursement for club dues, and executive life insurance.
 
Other Benefits
 
The Company maintains broad-based benefits that are provided to all employees, including health and dental insurance, life and disability insurance, and a 401(k) plan. Participants in the 401(k) plan are permitted to contribute to the plan through payroll deductions within statutory and plan limits.  The Company provides a matching contribution of up to 3% of each eligible employee’s salary per year.  Participants may select from a variety of investment options.  At this time, investment options do not include the Company’s common stock.
 
Employment Agreements; Potential Payments Upon Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control
 
Employment Contracts

Mr. Alex Trevino, Jr. serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company under an employment agreement effective March 1, 1998.  In the absence of notice of termination, the term of the agreement is automatically extended for additional two-year terms.  Under the agreement, Mr. Trevino receives an annual base salary, certain benefits, and an annual incentive bonus based on a formula recommended by the Board’s Compensation Committee and approved by the Board.

Effective March 1, 2004, Mr. Anthony R. Maresca who serves as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and Mr. A. Stephen Trevino, who serves as Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Company, entered into employment agreements with the Company.  Each agreement provides for an annual base salary, certain benefits, and an annual incentive bonus based on a formula recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board.  The agreements provided for the grants of restricted shares of common stock of the Company outlined above, and contain change of control provisions.

No Other Agreements

There are no other employment agreements between the Company and other executive officers or employees of the Company and no other executive officers are entitled to any payments upon termination or a change of control that are not generally available to all of the Company’s employees.
 
-44-

162(m) Tax Deductibility
 
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the deductibility of certain otherwise deductible compensation in excess of $1.0 million paid to the Named Executive Officers. It is the policy of the Compensation Committee to attempt to have all executive compensation treated as tax-deductible compensation wherever, in the judgment of the Compensation Committee, to do so would be consistent with the objectives of the compensation plan under which the compensation is paid. However, this policy does not rule out the ability to make awards or to approve compensation that may not qualify for the compensation deduction. The Compensation Committee may elect to approve awards or grant compensation to executive officers which are not deductible by the Company under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
 
None of the executive officers of the Company has served on the board or on the compensation committee of any other entity, any of whose officers served either on the Board or on the Compensation Committee of the Company.
 
Report of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is committed to achieving the stated objectives by acknowledging and rewarding contributions made by the Company’s executive officers to the overall performance of the Company.  Compensation arrangements for executive officers generally consist of a combination of fixed base salary, performance-based cash bonuses, and long-term incentives utilizing common stock of the Company.

The Committee considers competitive compensation offered for similar responsibilities by other organizations, including the compensation offered by a peer group of companies. The Committee compares the Company’s total compensation, as well as each major component of compensation, with the peer group for overall competitiveness. Although the Committee reviews peer group information for guidance, it does not exclusively target executive compensation to specific compensation levels at other companies. The Committee uses a variety of resources, including publicly available data and published compensation surveys, in order to establish compensation levels in a highly competitive environment for executive leadership.  Additionally, the committee may utilize the services of outside compensation experts.

The Committee met a total of four times in fiscal 2007 and continued its practice of reviewing total compensation for the Company’s executive officers. Total compensation includes base salary, annual cash bonus, long-term incentive compensation, perquisites and other benefits.

Audit fees are fees for the audit of our fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and reviews of consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Audit-related fees are fees that principally relate to assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audits and reviews of our consolidated financial statements and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.

Tax fees are fees for tax compliance, planning and advisory services other than those that relate specifically to the audits and reviews of our consolidated financial statements.

All other fees are fees that relate to consulting services.

The Audit Committee has determined that the non-audit services rendered by BDO are compatible with maintaining the firm's independence.

Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services

The Audit Committee has the sole authority to approve the scope of the audit as well as all audit fees and terms. The Audit Committee must pre-approve any audit and non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee will not approve the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm to perform any services that the independent registered public accounting firm would be prohibited from providing under applicable securities laws or American Stock Exchange requirements. In assessing whether to approve the use of our independent registered public accounting firm to provide permitted non-audit services, the Audit Committee tries to minimize relationships that could appear to impair the objectivity of our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee will approve permitted non-audit services by BDO only when it will be more effective or economical to have such services performed by BDO than another firm. No fees were paid for non-audit related professional services for which the pre-approval process by the Audit Committee was waived.
