| 1. | Mr. Nick A. Caporella, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. George R. Bracken, Executive Vice President- Finance, do not receive any cash compensation from the Company as their services are provided through CMA. As described above in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Management Services Agreement – Compensation”, we pay an annual base management fee equal to one percent of our consolidated net sales for the services that CMA provides, which include, among other things, the services of Mr. Nick A. Caporella and Mr. Bracken and other senior and corporate personnel who are not included in the table above. The amounts set forth with respect to Mr. Nick A. Caporella under the caption “Management Fee Plus All Other Compensation” include the total management fees paid by us to CMA (which is compliant with the presentation requested by the Commission). The amounts with respect to Mr. Joseph G. Caporella under the caption “Management Fee Plus All Other Compensation” represent a car allowance, retirement and health benefits. (See “Retirement, Health and Other Benefits” above and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” below.) The amounts set forth with respect to Mr. Bracken under the caption “Management Fee Plus All Other Compensation” represent payments to him by CMA and the amounts described in footnote 3 below. |
| 2. | No options were granted during the fiscal years presented. |
| 3. | Amounts represent the annual compensation expense recognized for stock option awards computed in accordance with GAAP pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 718 based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. (See Note 10 to the Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the assumptions utilized.) Options held by our Executive Officers generally vest over five to nine-year periods and are expensed in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that the annual compensation expense provides an additional meaningful measure of the value of these options for any given fiscal year and therefore has been included as supplementary information. |
| 4. | Mr. Nick A. Caporella has not been awarded stock options, therefore, his total does not differ from the SEC recommended total. GAAP option expense for Mr. Bracken is included in “Management Fee Plus All Other Compensation”, therefore his GAAP total is reflected in that column. |
