Item 11. Executive Compensation.
Overview
Compensation Philosophy
     The Company’s compensation program generally is designed to motivate and reward our executive officers and other personnel responsible for attaining financial objectives that will contribute to the overall goal of enhancing stockholder value. In administering the program, the Compensation Committee assesses the performance of our business and our employees relative to those objectives. The Company’s compensation program generally provides incentives to achieve annual and longer term objectives. The principal elements of the compensation plan include base salary, cash bonus awards and stock awards in the form of grants of stock options. These elements generally are blended in order to provide compensation packages which provide competitive pay, reward the achievement of financial objectives and align the interests of our executive officers and other high level personnel with those of our stockholders.
Compensation Program
     Base Salary. Base salary levels for executive officers are determined annually. In setting base salaries for officers and employees, the Compensation Committee considers the experience of the individual, the scope and complexity of the position, our size and growth rate, profitability, and the compensation paid by our competitors. The Compensation Committee generally approves, based upon in appropriate circumstances the recommendations of Israel Adan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the base salaries that are paid to the Company’s executive officers other than Mr. Adan, which is approved by the Compensation Committee. Overall, the Compensation Committee believes that the base salaries of its executive officers are approximately competitive with median base salary levels for similar positions with our peer companies. The Compensation Committee approved salary adjustments in December 2007, effective January 1, 2008, for Messrs. Aubin and Campbell of $7,364 and $4,307 respectively.
     Bonuses. The Company’s executive officers are eligible to receive bonus awards designed to motivate them to attain short-term and longer-term corporate and individual management goals. Bonuses are based on the attainment of specific Company performance measures established by the Compensation Committee early in the fiscal year, and by the achievement of specified individual performance objectives and the degree to which each executive officer contributes to the overall success of the Company and the management team. The annual bonus is paid in cash in an amount reviewed and approved, in appropriate circumstances on the recommendation of Mr. Adan, by the Compensation Committee and is ordinarily paid in the first quarter following the completion of each fiscal year. For the year ended December 31, 2007, bonuses were awarded to each of Messrs. Adan, Aubin and Campbell in the amounts of $25,000, $20,000 and $25,000 respectively.
     Stock Awards. To promote the Company’s long-term objectives, stock awards are made to directors, officers and employees who are in a position to make a significant contribution to our long-term success. The stock awards are made to directors, employees and consultants pursuant to our 1997 Stock Option Plan, in the form of qualified and nonqualified stock options with a exercise price of the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Compensation Committee has discretion to determine which employees and consultants will be granted stock options, the number of shares to be optioned and the terms and conditions of such options. The full Board of Directors conducts the administration of the option plan with respect to options granted to directors or to executive officers. Options currently outstanding generally vest over a five year period. In selecting recipients and the size of grants, the Compensation Committee considers various factors such as the potential of the recipient, the salary of the recipient and competitive factors affecting our ability to attract and retain employees, prior grants, a comparison of awards made to officers in comparable positions at similar companies and the performance of our business. The Company granted stock options to the named executive officers during the year ended December 31, 2007 to Messrs. Adan, Aubin and Campbell in the amounts of 100,000 shares, 15,000 shares and 15,000 shares, respectively. All grants were at a price of $1.95 which was the closing price on the day of grant.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
     The Board of Directors has adopted a policy regarding the review and approval of transactions with related persons, which provides that certain transactions in which the Company is a party must be approved by (i) the Audit Committee, and (ii) to the extent such transaction involves compensation, also by the Compensation Committee. Those transactions that require review and approval include transactions to which any executive officer, or board member or board member nominee, or any immediate family member or affiliate of any of the foregoing, is a party with the Company. Types of transactions excluded by the policy include transactions generally available to all of our employees and transactions involving solely matters of executive compensation, which transactions need only to be approved by our compensation committee.
     Transactions subject to review under this policy may proceed if the Audit Committee finds that the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party, and, to they extent they involve compensation, if they are also approved by the Compensation Committee.
Transactions with Related Persons during Fiscal Year 2007
     The Company was charged approximately $187,000 during fiscal year 2007 by its parent, Orbit-Alchut Technologies, Ltd., an Israeli publicly traded corporation which controls approximately 61.8% of the Company’s stock (the “Parent”), for administrative services. The Company also was charged approximately $1,261,000 for production services provided by Parent during fiscal year 2007. Mr. Stein beneficially owns approximately 56% of the outstanding equity of Parent, is a director of Parent and is the Vice-President of Operations of Parent.
     The Company was charged approximately $133,000 under a management services agreement during fiscal year 2007 by Ze’ev Stein Properties, Ltd, an Israeli corporation that is wholly-owned by Mr. Stein.
Director Independence

-10-


 

     The Board uses the standards set forth in rules promulgated by The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC in determining the independence of each member of its Audit Committee and its Compensation Committee. Applying these standards, the Board has determined that other than Mr. Stein, all members of the Company’s Audit Committee are each “independent” (as independence for audit committee members is currently defined under Rule 4350(d)(A)(i) and Rule 4350(d)(A)(ii) of the NASDAQ Manual).
     Our Board of Directors affirmatively determines the independence of each director and nominee for election as a director using the standards set forth in rules promulgated by The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC for determining the independence of a director, including the consideration of any relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the director’s responsibilities as a member of the Board. During the Board’s annual review of director independence, the Board determined that other than Mr. Stein, all of our directors are independent. Our Board determined that each of Mr. Jenach, Mr Ginat, Mr. Goffer and Mr. Dauber is an “independent director” as that term is defined under Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Manual.
     The Company does not currently have a separately designated nominating committee, or a committee performing similar functions. Applying the committee independence standards as set forth in the NASDAQ Manual with respect to all of the directors of the Company, Mr. Stein is not an independent director for purposes of his membership in a nominating committee, or a committee performing similar functions, were such a committee separately designated and created.
