Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Such officers, directors and 10% Stockholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based solely upon information provided to us by individual officers, directors and 10% Stockholders, we believe that all of these filing requirements were satisfied by the Company’s officers, directors, and 10% Stockholders in fiscal 2004.

(2)   Weighted average grant price of all stock options granted to employees in fiscal 2004.
 
(3)   Appreciation for all stockholders is calculated using the average exercise price for all employee optionees of $2.77 granted during fiscal 2004, and using the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on July 31, 2004 of 24,871,348.

(1)   All options held by the Company’s chief executive officer and the named executive officers were granted under the Company’s 1989 Stock Option Plan or the Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan. All options granted under the 1989 Stock Option Plan and the 1996 Stock Option Plan are immediately exercisable. However, the Company can repurchase shares issued upon exercise of those options, at the exercise price, to the extent of the number of shares that have not vested if the optionee’s employment terminates before all of the optionee’s option shares become vested. The amounts under the headings entitled “Exercisable” reflect vested options as of July 31, 2004, and the amounts under the headings entitled “Unexercisable” reflect option shares that have not vested as of July 31, 2004.
 
(2)   Mr. Caccamisi’s employment with the Company was terminated on April 30, 2004.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

     No member of the Compensation Committee is or has been an officer or employee of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries or had any relationship requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K (Certain Relationships and Related Transactions).

Director Compensation

     During fiscal 2004, each non-employee director was paid a retainer of $3,000 for each quarter. Additionally, each non-employee director was paid $1,000 for the regularly scheduled and special meetings of the board of directors he or she attended and $250 for participation in each telephonic meeting that is not considered a regularly scheduled or special meeting of the board of directors. Total director fees earned in fiscal 2004 were $95,750.

     All non-employee directors participate in the Company’s 1992 Director Stock Option Plan. Non-employee directors receive, upon their initial election or appointment to the board of directors, stock options to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, having an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Thereafter, each non-employee director will receive options to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on the anniversary date of his or her election or appointment to the board of directors. All of these options vest in equal amounts monthly over a three-year period but cease vesting at the time the director ceases to be a director.

     The compensation of our employee directors is discussed under “Executive Compensation” above.

Employment Contracts; Termination of Employment and Change in Control Agreements

     The Company has not entered into any employment agreements with members of its senior management. However, the Company has entered into change-in-control agreements, also called parachute agreements, with members of its senior management, which provide that if the officer is terminated within a specified amount of time after a “change in control” of the Company (as that term is defined in the parachute agreements), in any of the following ways:

    by the Company other than for cause, the officer’s death, retirement or disability, or
 
    by the officer for “good reason,”

the Company will pay to the officer an amount one times his or her current year’s salary and will accelerate the vesting schedule of his or her unvested stock options.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
Audit Fees

     The Company paid fees in the amount of $185,150 and $339,500 for professional audit services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements and the reviews of the financial statements included in the Company’s 10-Qs, for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The services included work generally only the independent auditor can reasonably be expected to provide, such as those in connection with statutory and regulatory filings.

Audit — Related Fees

     The Company paid fees in the amount of $44,450 and $25,500 for professional audit services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP related principally to the audits of employee benefit plans, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and merger and acquisition due diligence, for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Tax Fees

     The Company paid $67,455 and $69,350 for professional tax services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP during the fiscal years ended July 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Other Fees

     All fees paid to Ernst & Young LLP by the Company are reported under the fee categories listed above. There were no other fees paid during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004. The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of services covered by the two preceding paragraphs is compatible with maintaining the independent auditors’ independence from the company.
