The Company’s compensation program for each of its named executive officers consists of the following elements:

Base Salary. The salaries of our named executive officers are designed to provide a reasonable level of compensation that is affordable to the Company and fair to the executive. The base salary of our PEO is contractual, and all salaries are reviewed annually. Base salary increases, if any, are made based on the review of competitive salaries, as well as an evaluation of the individual officer’s responsibilities, job scope, and performance.

Bonuses. The bonus plan of our PEO is contractual while other bonuses are totally discretionary as to who will receive a bonus and the amount of any such bonus. The Compensation Committee may recommend to the Board that annual bonuses be paid based on accomplishments that exceed expectations during the fiscal year.

The Company believes that the salaries paid to its named executive officers are consistent with market rates, and the Company does not provide for equity-based compensation. The Compensation Committee bases its annual bonus considerations on each individual’s performance within the executive’s sphere of responsibilities, and on the Company’s overall performance as measured by net income. While total shareholder return factors into Compensation Committee discussions, annual bonus considerations are not tied to shareholder return.

401(k) Plan

The Company has a defined contribution profit sharing plan covering eligible employees. The Plan is voluntary with respect to participation and is subject to the provisions of ERISA. The plan provides for participant contributions of up to 25% of annual compensation, as defined by the plan. The Company contributes an amount equal to a match of the first three percent (3%) contributed by the employee plus fifty percent (50%) of the next two percent (2%) contributed by the employee with a maximum contribution of four percent (4%). The Company may contribute an additional amount from its profits as authorized by the Board. The Company made no additional contributions in fiscal 2025. Participants in the plan are immediately vested in their and the Company’s contributions, plus actual earnings thereon. The Company’s fiscal 2025 contributions to the plan on behalf of named executive officers are included in the “All Other Compensation” column in the “Summary Compensation Table” above.

Stock Incentive Plan

None.

Executive Employment Agreements

The Chief Executive Officer’s compensation is governed largely by his employment agreement with the Company, originally effective April 1, 2002, as amended. The current employment agreement expires on July 31, 2025. The employment agreement currently provides that Mr. Grossblatt’s base annual salary (since April 1, 2007) is $352,000. Additionally, Mr. Grossblatt is entitled to bonus compensation for each fiscal year of the Company in which the Company earned pre-tax net income in such fiscal year in excess of a percentage, pre-determined by the Board, of shareholders’ equity as of the start of the fiscal year (which is 4% for the fiscal years ended March 31 2025 and 2024), as follows: 3% of all (after the 4% threshold) pre-tax net income up to $1 million, 4% of pre-tax net income from $1-$2 million, 5% of pre-tax net income from $2-$3 million, 6% of pre-tax net income from $3-$4 million, 7% of pre-tax net income over $4 million. Mr. Grossblatt is also entitled to life, health and disability insurance benefits, medical reimbursement, automobile allowance, and Company paid retirement plan contributions.

If the Employment Agreement is not renewed by the Company or is terminated by Mr. Grossblatt for good reason, Mr. Grossblatt is entitled to receivehis compensation through any balance of the employment term plus a lump sum payment equal to his last 12 months base salary and bonus, health benefits for three years, and an additional lump sum payment payable on each of the first three anniversaries of the termination equal to the 401(k) plan contribution the Company would have made on behalf of the Company had he remained employed by the Company.

If Mr. Grossblatt’s employment is terminated following or in anticipation of a “change of control” of the Company, Mr. Grossblatt will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to his base salary for the balance of the Employment Agreement’s term and the amount of Mr. Grossblatt’s last bonus plus three times Mr. Grossblatt’s last 12 months base salary and bonus. In addition, Mr. Grossblatt is entitled to receive health benefits for three years, and an additional lump sum payment payable on the anniversary of the termination equal to the 401(k) plan contribution the Company would have made on behalf of the Company had he remained employed by the Company for three years. Mr. Grossblatt will receive an amount equal to three times his base salary for the last 12 months and the amount of his last bonus, limited to 2.99 times Mr. Grossblatt’s average annual taxable compensation from the Company which is included in his gross income for the five taxable years of the Company ending before the date on which the change of control occurs.

If the Employment Agreement is terminated by the Company due to Mr. Grossblatt’s death, Mr. Grossblatt’s estate is entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to his base salary for the greater of the balance of the Employment Agreement’s term or one year, reduced by any individual life insurance benefits the premiums for which are paid for by the Company, plus the amount of his last bonus and the amount of the Company’s last 401(k) plan contribution made on behalf of Mr. Grossblatt. In addition, Mr. Grossblatt’s estate is entitled to the health insurance and medical reimbursement benefits for the longer of the balance of the term or three years following the date of death, or the cash equivalent thereof.

If the Employment Agreement is terminated by the Company due to Mr. Grossblatt’s disability, Mr. Grossblatt is entitled to thecontinuation of the payment of his base salary for the balance of the term, reduced by any group or individual disability income insurance benefits the premiums for which are paid for by the Company and Social Security disability benefits paid to Mr. Grossblatt. In addition, Mr. Grossblatt is entitled to the health insurance and medical reimbursement benefits and a payment equal to the 401(k) plan contribution the Company would have made on behalf of the Company had he remained employed by the Company, for the longer of the balance of the term or three years following the date of disability, or the cash equivalent thereof.

The Employment Agreement generally prohibits Mr. Grossblatt from competing with the Company during the term and during anysubsequent period during which he receives compensation from the Company.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

The table below shows the estimated incremental value transfer to Harvey B. Grossblatt, the only named executive officer who is contractually entitled to compensation upon termination or a change in control, under various scenarios relating to a termination of employment. Please refer to the discussion titled “Executive Employment Agreements”, above, in this Executive Compensation Section for a description of the circumstances that would trigger payments and benefits upon termination or a change in control. The tables below assume that such termination occurred on March 31, 2025, the last day of the Company’s 2025 fiscal year. The Company’s stock price on the last business day of its 2025 fiscal year was $1.78. The actual amounts that would be paid to any named executive officer can only be determined at the time of an actual termination of employment and would vary from those listed below. The estimated amounts listed below are in addition to any other benefits that are available to employees generally.

Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information

We do not have any formal policy that requires us to grant, or avoid granting, equity-based compensation to our executive officers at certain times. The timing of any equity grants to executive officers in connection with new hires, promotions, or other non-routine grants is tied to the event giving rise to the award (such as an executive officer’s commencement of employment or promotion effective date). As a result, in all cases, the timing of grants of equity awards, including stock options, occurs independent of the release of any material nonpublic information, and we do not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of equity-based compensation.

During the year ended March 31, 2025, there were no equity grants made to our executive officers during any period beginning four business days before the filing of a periodic report or current report disclosing material non-public information and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of such report with the SEC.

Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

At the annual meeting of stockholders held on November 7, 2024, the stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers. An advisory vote on executive compensation is held every year.

Director Compensation

During the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, Mr. Grossblatt, the Company’s president and chief executive officer, received no additional compensation for serving as a director. For the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, each outside director was entitled to a $10,000 annual fee for annual service as a director. Directors’ compensation is payable in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock (“Shares”) (computed at the closing price as reported by the NYSE MKT on the date of the payment).

The following table summarizes the compensation paid to directors for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025:
