Assuming, hypothetically, that the relevant triggering events took place on January 31, 2016, the last day of fiscal 2016, Mr. Lanni would have been entitled to receive $230,000 under such agreement.



Non-Employee Director Compensation



The annual cash retainer payable in fiscal year ended January 31, 2016 to our non-employee directors was $7,800 per year. Additional annual retainers for the Audit Committee Chairman, Compensation Committee Chairman and Nominating and Governance Chairman were $2,400, $1,200 and $1,200, respectively. Effective May 1, 2013, the additional retainer paid to the Chairman of the Board was $84,000 based on the significant commitment required. Beginning January 1, 2016, the Chairman of the Board’s annual retainer was reduced to $54,000. Non-employee directors who serve on, but do not chair, a committee of the Board are not paid any separate annual retainers for service on such committee. No separate meeting fees are paid for attendance at any Board or committee meetings. From time to time we may grant equity-based compensation to our non-employee directors, but we do not have any formal policy under which such grants are made.

The following table details the cash retainers and fees, as well as equity compensation in the form of stock awards earned by our non-employee directors during fiscal 2016:

|ITEM 13. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
|-------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



Transactions with Related Persons



BroadwoodAmendment and Release Agreement



Since February 1, 2015, the Company has not been a party to, and has no plans to be a party to, any transaction or series of transactions in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.





Policy on Related Person Transactions



Our Board of Directors has adopted a written policy and procedures for the review of any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which the Company was or is to be a participant and one of our executive officers, directors, director nominees or a 5 percent shareholder (or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing), or any entity in which persons listed above, either individually or in the aggregate, have a greater than 10 percent ownership interest, each of whom we refer to as a “related person,” has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. We refer to these transactions as “related person transactions.” The policy is administered by the Audit Committee.



The policy calls for any proposed related person transaction to be reviewed and approved by our Audit Committee. Whenever practicable, the Committee will review, and, in its discretion, may approve the related person transaction in advance, but the policy also permits the Committee to consider and ratify transactions that have already occurred, when necessary. Any related person transactions that are ongoing in nature will be reviewed annually. The Committee will review and consider such information regarding the related person transaction as it deems appropriate under the circumstances. The policy also requires Committee review and approval of (1) any charitable contribution to an organization in which a related person serves as a director or trustee or is actively engaged in fund-raising and (2) any proposed transaction in which a related person may participate that involves a corporate opportunity of potential value to the Company. The policy provides that certain de minimis transactions do not create a material direct or indirect interest on behalf of related parties and, therefore, are not covered under the policy.



The Audit Committee may approve a related person transaction only if the Committee determines that, under all of the circumstances, the transaction is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. If the Audit Committee determines not to approve or ratify a related person transaction, the transaction shall not be entered into or continued, as the case may be. No member of the Committee will participate in any review or determination with respect to a related person transaction if the Committee member or any of his or her immediate family members is the related person.








Director Independence



The Board has determined that, except for Mr. Lanni, each individual who served as a member of the Board during fiscal year 2016 was an “independent director” within the meaning of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules. Mr. Lanni was not considered independent as he was employed by the Company as its President and Chief Executive Officer during fiscal 2015. Each of the Company’s current directors (excluding Mr. Lanni) are independent directors within the meaning of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules. While none of the Company’s securities are listed for trading on the NASDAQ stock market and the company is therefore not required to meet the NASDAQ Listing Rules, the Board has elected to maintain the independence standards of the NASDAQ Listing Rules.



|ITEM 14. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
|-------- | --------------------------------------



The Audit Committee has appointed Squar, Milner, Peterson, Miranda & Williamson LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2016.



Audit Fees

Audit-Related Fees



No expenses were incurred during fiscal years ended January 31, 2016 and 2015.



Tax Fees



In fiscal years ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, we engaged Squar Milner to assist us with preparation of the Company’s tax returns and incurred fees during these years of approximately $15,000, respectively.



All Other Fees



We paid Squar Milner approximately $11,000 each year for the audit of our Savings and Retirement Plan in fiscal year ended January 31, 2016 and fiscal year ended January 31, 2015, for the audits of our plan years ending December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.



Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures



It is the Company’s policy that all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm be approved in advance by the Audit Committee. All of the services provided in fiscal years ended January 31, 2016 and 2015 were pre-approved.
