BUSINESS
We are a
Florida corporation and a public holding company engaged through our two,
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Capstone Industries, Inc., a Florida corporation,
(“Capstone”) and Black Box Innovations, LLC, a Florida limited liability
company, (“BBIL”). Capstone produces and sells consumer goods in North America,
which products are manufactured abroad for Capstone by contract manufacturers,
especially manufacturers in the Peoples' Republic of China. Black Box
Innovation, LLC is currently inactive. BBIL produces and sells computer memory
products, which are also manufactured for BBIL by contract manufacturers in
China. BBI operates as a division of Capstone and Capstone personnel provide the
labor and services necessary to operate BBIL. This allows BBIL to utilize
Capstone’s existing relationships with retailers as well as reduce operational
startup costs by sharing expenses such as labor costs, office space rental and
Products Liability and General Insurance. Once BBIL products generate sufficient
revenues and sales volume can support operations, BBIL will begin running as an
independent subsidiary with its own personnel. For both subsidiaries, we sell
the products through regional and national distributors and
retailers.
We are a

The Audit
Committee is responsible for providing oversight to Company’s accounting and
financial reporting processes and the audit of the Company’s financial
statements. The Audit Committee monitors the Company’s external audit process,
including auditor independence matters, the scope and fees related to audits,
and the extent to which the independent registered public accounting firm may be

results of the external audit with regard to the adequacy and appropriateness of
our financial, accounting and internal controls over financial reporting. It
also generally oversees Company’s internal compliance programs. The function of
the Audit Committee is not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of
management and the independent registered public accounting firm, nor can the
Audit Committee certify that the independent registered public accounting firm
is “independent” under applicable rules. The Audit Committee members are not

authority to retain outside legal, accounting or other advisors as it deems
necessary to carry out its duties and to require the Company to pay for such
expenditures.
The Audit

REPORT OF
THE COMPENSATION AND NOMINATING COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION
THE
FOLLOWING REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION AND NOMINATING COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED "SOLICITING MATERIAL" OR TO BE "FILED" WITH THE
COMMISSION, NOR SHALL SUCH INFORMATION BE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO ANY
FUTURE FILING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR EXCHANGE ACT, EXCEPT TO THE
EXTENT THAT THE COMPANY SPECIFICALLY INCORPORATES IT BY REFERENCE INTO SUCH
FILING.
OBJECTIVES
The
Compensation Committee is primarily responsible for reviewing the compensation
arrangements for the Company's executive officers, including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the Board, and for administering the Company's
stock-based compensation plans. The Compensation Committee was established in
January 2005. The Compensation Committee held two meetings in fiscal year 2008.
Larry Sloven and Jeffrey Guzy are committee members for 2008. The Company
believes that Mr. Guzy is an independent director under applicable NASDAQ
standards. Mr. Sloven is not deemed to meet those standards because of his
company's product development and outsourcing contract with the
Company.
On
February 5, 2008, the Board of Directors changed the Compensation Committee to
be the “Compensation and Nominating Committee” with the same membership as
stated above. The charter of the new committee is on the Company’s Web Site. The
Company is looking for independent directors to fill the Compensation Committee
and, until such candidates are found, Mr. Sloven is being asked to sit as a
member of the Compensation and Nominating Committee.
It is the
Company's objective to pursue compensation structures with the public
shareholders' interests and the Company's business objectives, reward
outstanding performance, be externally competitive and internally equitable, and
attract and retain best available executive talent. We seek to achieve this goal
through a straightforward compensation package that relies on equity
compensation and limits cash compensation and perquisites.
The
Company seeks to foster a performance-oriented culture, where individual
performance is aligned with organizational objectives. Company performance is
the primary measure of success upon which we structure our
compensation.
The
Compensation and Nominating Committee evaluates and rewards our executive
officers and directors based on their contribution to the achievement of short
and longer-term goals. Individual and departmental performance is factored into
salary increase decisions and stock option (long term incentive)
awards.
Executive
compensation is reviewed semi-annually, and adjustments are made to reflect
performance-based factors, as well as competitive conditions.
The
Compensation and Nominating Committee, together with our board, establishes
compensation for our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers
and administers the 2005 Equity Plan. The Compensation Committee has a written
charter, which is available on the Company Web Site (located at
http://www.chdtcorp.com).
The
purpose of our Compensation Committee is to:
•
discharge the board’s responsibilities relating to compensation of our executive
officers;
•
administer our stock option plans, stock purchase plans, restricted stock plans
and any other equity incentive plans adopted; and
• provide
disinterested administration of any employee benefit plans in which our
executive officers are eligible to participate.
The
Compensation and Nominating Committee did not use outside consultants in fiscal
year 2008. It used compensation arrangements by other microcap companies to
judge the appropriateness of the Company compensation arrangements.
The
Company compensates people with:
Cash
Compensation. Cash compensation consists of base salary and annual bonus
potential. Our compensation consultant assists us in analyzing similar or “peer”
companies to guide our determination of appropriate cash compensation. Our cash
compensation goals for our executive officers are based upon the following
principles: (1) compensation levels are comparable to industry levels as
adjusted for experience and skills of individual officers; and (2) pay should
retain key personnel.
Discretionary
Bonus Program. In addition to base salary compensation, the Company has a bonus
plan covering the executive officers pursuant to which cash bonus payments and
equity awards may be made. Bonuses are calculated based upon actual achievement
of pre-established goals.
Incentive
Program. The Company believes that performance is achieved through an ownership
culture that encourages ongoing performance by the executive officers. This is
best achieved through the use of stock-based option awards. All employees are
eligible to participate in our sole plan, the 2005 Equity Plan. We also issue
non-qualified stock options. Our equity compensation goals for the executive
officers are based upon the following principals: (1) incentive compensation
should retain key personnel and reward loyal and productive employees,
regardless of rank, and (2) individual awards of stock-based compensation should
reflect individual performance as well as the importance of retaining such
employee to our goal of achieving the Company’s then current strategic
goals.
Our sole
incentive plan is the 2005 Equity Plan, which allows us to grant stock options,
stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units,
performance shares, and other stock-based awards. Under our 2005 Equity Plan,
the Company can issue options to our officers, directors and employees to
purchase shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair
market value of such stock on the date of grant. The date of grant for the
executives is typically the date of a regularly scheduled board meeting, of
which we have at least six (6) per year, but can be made at the time of job
performance reviews.
Our
Company does not have a program, plan or practice to select option grant dates
(or set board meeting dates) to correspond with the release of material
non-public information.
The
Company does not have an Employee Stock Purchase Plan that provides employees
with the opportunity to purchase shares of the Common Stock. We will consider
adopting one in fiscal year 2008.
Our
practice was to make periodic annual equity grants to our executives. In
determining 2008 equity grants for executives, we considered the importance of
each employee to accomplishing our strategic goals.
Benefits.
The Company provides the following benefits to our senior executives generally
on the same basis as the benefits provided to all employees: (1) health care and
dental insurance; and (2) paid personal and vacation leave.
The
Compensation and Nominating Committee believes that these benefits are
consistent with those offered by other companies and specifically with those
companies with which we compete for employees.
CODE OF
ETHICS.
The
Company has a code of ethics that applies to all of the Company's employees,
including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer and
principal accounting officer, and its Board. A copy of this code is available on
the Company's website. The Company intends to disclose any changes in or waivers
from its code of ethics by posting such information on its website or by filing
a Form 8-K.
DIRECTOR
MEETINGS IN FISCAL YEAR 2008.
The Board
of Directors had five official meetings in fiscal year 2008. During fiscal year
2008, all of the directors attended 75% or more of all meetings of the Board,
which were held during the period of time that such person served on the Board
or such committee.
SECTION
16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's executive officers and
directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of
the Company's equity securities, to file reports of securities ownership and
changes in such ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and
greater than ten percent shareholders also are required by rules promulgated by
the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they
file.
Based
solely upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company or
other written representations, the Company believes that all Section 16(a)
filing requirements were met during fiscal year 2008 by the Company’s directors
and officers; except: Jeffrey Postal, a director, filed a Form 4 with the SEC on
February 8, 2008 to report previous issuances of shares of Common Stock to cash
out loans to the Company and a Form 3 with the SEC on February 7, 2008 to report
share ownership when he was initially appointed as a director. Mr. Postal is
unsure if paper filings for these transactions were made in the past and elected
to file in 2008 since there was no EDGAR record of such filings.

Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, as
well as information or proxy statements (except for information furnished to the
SEC that is not deemed to be “filed” for purposes of the Exchange Act).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, information furnished under Items 2.02 and 7.01

incorporated by reference into this Information Statement.
