Item 5.02.  Departures of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(d) On February 7, 2008, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Advanced Photonix, Inc. (the “Company”) acting upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) approved the following increases in the annual base salaries for Richard D. Kurtz, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Robin Risser, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Steve Williamson, Chief Technology Officer (CTO): An increase in Mr. Kurtz’s annual base salary from $188,700 to $241,000 effective as of April 1, 2007 and from $241,000 to $295,000 effective as of April 1, 2008; an increase in Mr. Risser’s annual base salary from $188,700 to $203,150 effective as of April 1, 2007 and from $203,150 to $225,000 effective as of April 1, 2008; and an increase in Mr. Williamson’s annual base salary from $185,000 to $195,650 effective as of April 1, 2007 and from $195,650 to $210,000 effective as of April 1, 2008.

The Committee’s recommendation for such salary increases was based in part upon its review and analysis of an executive compensation report prepared by an independent compensation consultant retained by the Committee at the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year and the fact that there had been no salary adjustments in fiscal years 2006 and 2007. The compensation report revealed that the executive salaries were significantly below market as compared to the peer companies identified by the consultant. These increases place the salaries of the executives at the median of salary levels within such peer group.
