In accordance with SEC rules, the Group is required to include in the Pay versus Performance table the “most important” financial performance measure (as determined by the Company) used to link compensation actually paid to our CEO and other named executive officers to Company performance for the most recently completed fiscal year. The Group determined that the annual budget-to-actual performance of the Company meets this requirement. This performance measure compares the actual diluted earnings per share to the forecasted diluted earnings per share for the calendar year. The forecasted diluted earnings per share is adopted during the budget process by the Board of Directors each year. By adhering to budgets, management is able to demonstrate to the Board, stockholders and customers that the Company is effective at managing controllable costs and has the ability to efficiently execute its business plan.
