PART I
Cautionary Statement
All statements included or incorporated by reference in this Report on Form 10-K, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are intended to be subject to the safe harbor provisions of such act. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, future competition and market conditions, new products, new system sales, statements concerning projected revenue, expenses, gross profit, gross margin and income, our accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments, the impact of our adoption of new rules on accounting, the future effectiveness of our expense and cost control and reduction efforts, the future market acceptance and performance of our products, implications of our lengthy sales cycle, and our future capital requirements. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectation, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs, and certain assumptions made by us. Forward—looking statements can often be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions, as well as variations or negatives of these words. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date of this Report and are based upon the information available to us at this time. Such information is subject to change, and we will not necessarily inform you of such changes. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward—looking statements as a result of various factors, some of which are set forth in “Risk Factors,” below. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
The Company
CAM Commerce Solutions, Inc. was incorporated in California in 1983, and reincorporated in Delaware in 1987. Our principal business is to provide total commerce solutions for small to medium size, traditional retailers and Web retailers. We offer complete retailing systems, consisting of software, hardware, installation, training, technical support services and web hosting services. We also offer comprehensive payment processing solutions and services that integrate with our retailing systems as well as other suppliers’ systems. These solutions are based on our open architecture software products for managing inventory, point of sale, sales transaction processing, accounting and payment processing. Sales, service, research, and development staff are located in California and Nevada, while our customers are located throughout the United States.
Payment Processing Services (X-Charge)
We market payment processing services to our customers. Our customers utilize our X-Charge software to process credit card transactions. The payment processing services are provided by a third party credit card payment processor. This generates revenues for us based on the number of credit card transactions processed for our customers.
X-Charge is integrated with our point of sale software, which allows our customers to integrate their payment processing with their point of sale system. This integration means they no longer need stand alone credit card terminals. When one of our retailers who is using X-Charge rings up a sale at the cash register and selects to take payment with a credit card, the X-Charge software automatically processes the transaction. It asks the operator to swipe the card on the cash register and then handles the approval, printing of the customer receipt on the cash register and all settlement functions and reporting. Thus, the sale takes place for the customer and the retailer in one transaction rather than the two transactions it would take to separately ring up the credit card on a stand alone credit

card terminal in addition to ringing up the sale on the cash register. Transactions are faster and more efficient with X-Charge.
Our X-Charge customer accounts can be broken up into two types. First, there are customers who have our own retailing solutions, such as Retail ICE, Retail Star, CAM-32, Profit$ or MicroBiz. Second, there are the customers of our resellers who are using a business software solution that the reseller has developed for their customers.
The revenues from X-Charge accounted for approximately 50%, 39%, and 26% of our total revenues for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The Systems
We offer the following turnkey systems:
  (1)   CAM32 — designed for hard goods retailers whose inventory is re-orderable in nature.
 
  (2)   Profit$ — designed for apparel and shoe retailers whose inventory is seasonable in nature, and color and size oriented.
 
  (3)   Retail STAR — a Windows-based system designed to incorporate multiple functions of both the CAM and Profit$ systems.
 
  (4)   Retail ICE — single-user derivative of Retail STAR.
 
  (5)   MicroBiz — a Windows-based system designed for single-store, hard goods retailers that are generally smaller in size than customers that utilize the CAM32 system.
Our systems offer the ability to obtain: (i) automated pricing of each item; (ii) billing for charge account customers; (iii) printing of a customer invoice; (iv) tracking of inventory count on an item by item basis; (v) computation of gross profit, dollars and/or percentage of each item; and (vi) tracking of sales by clerk and department by day and/or month. In addition, our systems provide full management reporting, including zero sales reports, inventory ranking, overstock and understock, sales analysis, inventory valuation (last cost, average cost and retail) and other reports. The systems can also provide integrated or interfaced accounting functions including accounts receivable, accounts payable, and general ledger. Our systems integrate Intel-based personal computers, computer point of sale stations, hand-held and table top barcode laser scanners, computer workstations, laser printers, and our software. Each system is configured to meet the customer’s particular needs and, as a result, the components included in each system, including the personal computer, printer, point of sale station and our software, depend on the needs, the size and the industry type of the customer.
We provide to each customer a turnkey system, which includes all of the hardware and the software as well as installation of the system at the customer’s premises, which is optional to the customer. All systems, except the MicroBiz and Retail ICE systems, are capable of handling multiple stores. In a multiple-store system, we either install a computer network or work with the existing network infrastructure of the customer. The server computer at each store communicates with the server computer at the customer’s main office. The main server computer compiles all information from the other locations for processing and reporting.
Inventory Management
We believe that inventory control is the most important and time consuming task facing the management of retail stores. Each of our systems was designed to address the retailer’s need for simpler and yet more accurate means of controlling a large and diverse inventory. All inventory information, once entered into the system, is updated for each sale that is transmitted from the point-of-sale station to the server computer. The following managerial reports are examples of the type of reporting that the systems are capable of providing:
  (1)   Popularity Ranking. The systems will report on the popularity of each item in the store by producing a report listing each item of inventory ranked according to the number of sales of each item. The report is generated automatically or manually, and can produce a list of daily, weekly, monthly, year-to-date and/or trailing 12 or 13 months of sales. The systems will also analyze popularity data and indicate to the retailer which particular items of inventory are needed and which items are overstocked.
 
  (2)   Zero Sales Report. The systems provide a sales analysis on a monthly and year-to-date basis for inventory items for which no sales have been made. The analysis can be reported on a total sales basis or on a departmental or item level basis.

Table of Contents

  (3)   Inventory Tabulation and Valuation. The systems provide reports listing all inventory on hand, the valuation of such inventory on a cost and retail basis, the average cost of each item in inventory, and all items of inventory on order but not yet received.
 
  (4)   Automatic Purchasing. The systems provide a report listing all items that should be ordered based upon historical data stored in the system, including the number of items in inventory, the number on the shelf, the number on order and the minimum quantities required. Certain systems can also automatically provide a purchase order if desired.
 
  (5)   Pricing. The systems are capable of producing price stickers in various label formats, assigning Uniform Purchase Code numbers and printing barcodes directly upon the price labels for reading by laser scanners. In addition, if there is a price change, the systems will automatically update the pricing information and, if desired, print new pricing labels.
 
  (6)   Reports. The systems permit the retailer to produce customized reports and forms utilizing data in the system.
Accounting Management
We have developed our own accounting software called Retail STAR Accounting, which is integrated with Retail STAR and Retail ICE software products. The accounting modules include Sales Order, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, General Ledger, and Bank Reconciliation.
i.STAR
We provide retailers the ability to set up an Internet storefront with our i.STAR software that is integrated with Retail STAR and CAM32 systems. The Internet storefront is established within the system as a virtual store location in a chain of stores. The integrated accounting features (i.e., order processing and accounts receivable) are used to process, track, and ship the orders that are received from the Internet storefront. As a one source solution for our customers, we also provide a Web hosting service for i.STAR.
Service and Support
Customer service and support is a critical element in maintaining customer satisfaction. For a monthly fee, each purchaser of a system receives service and support from us. The service and support we provide includes:
  (1)   Technical Phone Support and Software Enhancements. We provide technical support by troubleshooting the customer’s systems problems via the telephone and via modem. We do not customize our software for particular customers, but we are receptive to comments from customers concerning our software. Such comments, together with planned enhancements to the software, result in improvements, which are provided without additional cost to all customers on a service contract.
 
  (2)   Installation and Training. In order to assure customers that they will be able to properly integrate our system into their business, we offer on-site installation and training on the use and application of our systems to each customer. The training can take place at our in-house training facilities or at the customer’s location. The amount of training required depends upon the knowledge and experience of the user plus the complexity of the business at which the system is being implemented. We also offer training to our customers via the telephone.
 
  (3)   Hardware Service. We offer hardware service to our customers on a time and materials billing basis. Our service representatives are trained to determine the source of the problem or malfunction in the hardware and, once determined, replace the defective component. Defective components are either repaired at our facility or sent to a manufacturer’s authorized service center for repair.
Marketing
Direct Sales
We market our systems and services primarily through our direct sales force consisting of 51 salespersons and sales associates, all of whom work exclusively for us. Our marketing efforts extend nationwide with offices in the states of California, Nevada, Washington, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Massachusetts, Texas and New Jersey. Each salesperson is assigned a specific geographical territory and is responsible for following up on sales leads in that territory. Each salesperson is provided with a sales kit and demonstration equipment. Each salesperson is trained by us to be able to define the needs of the potential customer, recommend a system configuration, and provide

appropriate price quotes. Upon the execution of a typical sales contract, we are generally able to ship and install an entire system within four to six weeks. We are paid directly by the customer. Compensation for salespeople is based on a percentage of contract prices for each system sold.
Brochures, Trade Shows, and Advertising Media
We market our systems by advertising in trade journals, on the Internet, and in other print media targeted at retail businesses, by attending industry specific trade shows, by using sales promotional DVDs, and by direct mail advertising.
Sources of Supply
The computer hardware, which make up our systems, consist primarily of standard components purchased by us from outside distributors and includes products such as Intel-based personal computers, Hewlett-Packard printers, Symbol Technologies hand-held laser scanners and portable data terminals, and Epson receipt printers. For most computer hardware components, we have more than one source of supply. We do not maintain a significant inventory of hardware component parts.
Customers
We have a wide base of customers with no single customer accounting for 10% or more of our revenues.
Backlog
We purchase component hardware for our systems based upon system purchase orders and our forecast of demand for our products. Orders from customers are usually shipped by us pursuant to an agreed upon schedule. Orders, however, may be canceled or rescheduled by the customer with a minimal penalty. For this reason, we believe backlog information is not indicative of our future sales or business trends and is subject to fluctuation . However, as of September 30, 2007, backlog was approximately $471,000, as compared to $719,000 on September 30, 2006. This backlog is based upon purchase orders placed with us which we believe are firm orders that will be filled during fiscal year 2008.
Competition
The industry in which we operate is highly competitive. We compete with suppliers dedicated to servicing just one type of business and software suppliers that provide functions similar to our software to a variety of types of businesses. Most competitors sell their products through independent dealers on a regional and national basis. We sell our systems on a direct sales basis.
We consider our systems to have greater capabilities for the small and medium size retailers than suppliers of other systems. We believe that we offer unique software features, including i.STAR (fully integrated Web store), gift card processing, and integrated accounting software. Included among such capabilities are ongoing software enhancements and a service organization in place to support the customer after the initial sale, if a support contract was purchased. We compete on the basis of product features, customer support, and our direct sales force against competitors that typically compete on the basis of lower pricing.
We also compete with vertical market suppliers of automated retail systems, which include hardware and software intended for use by a particular retail industry segment. Some of these suppliers compete with us on the basis of lower pricing.
Our ability to meet competition will depend upon, among other things, our ability to maintain our marketing effort, increase the capabilities of our systems through ongoing enhancements and improvements, and obtain financing when, and if, needed.
Intuit and Microsoft both offer competing point of sale software products. These products were either acquired or licensed from existing competitors in our marketplace. We have successfully competed against these products in the past. We believe our software products with their strong feature set will allow us to continue to compete successfully against Intuit and Microsoft’s products, but there is no assurance of this because of the significant financial resources available to Intuit and Microsoft and their ability to market and modify their products.

Patents and Trademarks
We have obtained federal trademark registration for the following trademarks: Retail STAR, Retail ICE, A-Trade and X-Charge. We are not aware of any infringement on our trademarks, nor of any claim that our trademarks infringe on the rights of any other party.
We rely on a combination of trade secrets, copyright laws, and technical measures to protect our proprietary software. The software included in a system is not accessible by customers for purposes of revisions or copying, because we do not release the software source code to customers. We do not hold any patents and believe that our competitive position is not materially dependent upon patent protection. We believe that most of the technology used in the design and manufacture of most of our products is generally known and available to others. Consequently, there are no assurances that others will not develop, market and sell products substantially equivalent to our products, or utilize technologies similar to those used by us.
Seasonality
We experience a decline in demand for new systems from late November through early January because many retailers are reluctant to purchase and implement a point-of-sale system during their busy season. To offset our slow season for system sales, we have built a base of recurring revenue from existing customers primarily through our X-Charge payment processing service. The revenue from this service increases during the retailers’ busy season because of the increase in credit card sales.
Software Development
We develop our software using a modular approach, wherever possible, which allows a programmer to incorporate, replace or delete parts of an existing computer software program into a new program without affecting the operation of the remaining parts of the program. The incorporation of existing software, which has already been fully tested, into new product designs reduces the time and expense that we would otherwise incur in developing and enhancing our products.
We spent approximately $1,963,000, $1,808,000, and $1,706,000 on software development, including amounts capitalized during the years ended September 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. We anticipate we will continue to incur software development costs in connection with enhancements and improvements of our software and the development of new products. These activities may require an increase in our programming and technical staff.
Employees
As of September 30, 2007, we had 196 full time employees, including 18 employed in finance, administration and executive officers, 22 in programming and quality assurance, 61 in sales and marketing, 20 in training and installation, 67 in technical support and customer service, and 9 in operations.
None of our employees are represented by a labor union and we believe that we enjoy harmonious relationships with our employees.
Environmental Regulations
There has been no material effect on us from compliance with environmental regulations.
Foreign Operations
We do not engage in business outside of the United States.
Information Available on Our Website and Elsewhere
We make available free of charge on our internet website at www.camcommerce.com, our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Our SEC filings, as well as those of other companies that file electronically with the SEC, are available at the SEC’s

Internet website at www.sec.gov. You may also read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20549. Information on the operation of the public reference room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
Before deciding to buy, hold or sell our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to the other information contained in this Report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. The risks and uncertainties described below are what we consider our most significant risks, but they are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known or that are currently deemed immaterial may also affect our business. If any of these known or unknown risks or uncertainties actually occurs, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. In that event, the market price for our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.
The growth in our X-Charge payment processing business is primarily the result of adding new customers.
The revenue from our payment processing services grew by approximately 51% from fiscal 2006 to fiscal 2007 and accounted for approximately 50% of all revenue in fiscal 2007. This growth was due primarily to adding new customers, rather than increases in revenue from existing customers. We may not be able to continue to add new customers at the same rate in the future, in which case, our revenue growth may slow down substantially.
We would be adversely affected by the loss of a single payment processor.
Global Payments processes the payment transactions for our merchants, which represents about 95% of our total payment processing revenues. If Global Payments were to cease doing business with us for any reason, we would have to attempt to move these merchants to a new payment processor or processors. This would be extremely disruptive to our business and we could lose a substantial number of X-Charge accounts to our competitors in the process. The disruption in business, which could include the inability to collect revenues from Global Payments on payment processing transactions, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
Our original core business of computer system sales is in decline.
The sales of turnkey computer systems for the retail market declined by approximately 8% in fiscal 2007. This decline is due to market factors outside of our control and may continue. We cannot predict if and when a turn around in our system sales will occur. In response to this decline, we have shifted our business emphasis to the processing of credit card payments and other similar transactions, but still continue to strive for improvement in our system sales.
The population of our target customers is declining.
Our target customers are small-to-medium size retailers. These target customers are under intense competitive pressure from large retail chains such as Wal-Mart and others. These large retailers are gaining market share at the expense of our target customers. This intense competition causes some small retailers to go out of business, and others to consolidate with other small regional retail chains. This results in a shrinking population of our target customers. This also causes our target customers to be more cautious about capital spending for their retail business. These factors can cause substantial fluctuations in our revenues and in our results of operations. This current trend in the retail industry may exist indefinitely and could seriously impact our revenue and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our stock is thinly traded. Accordingly, you may not be able to resell your shares of common stock at or above the price you paid for them.
Our common stock has historically maintained a low trading volume of shares per day. This trend is likely to continue.

6


Table of Contents

We face intense competition in the retail point of sale industry, which could reduce our market share.
Intuit and Microsoft both offer competing point of sale software products. These products were either acquired or licensed from our competitors. Although we have successfully competed against these products in the past, both Intuit and Microsoft have significant financial resources to market and modify their products, and, therefore, we may not be able to continue to successfully compete against them in the future.
We may face patent or proprietary rights litigation in the future.
Although we believe that our products do not infringe on any third party’s patents, we may become involved in litigation involving patents or proprietary rights. Patent and proprietary rights litigation entails substantial legal and other costs, and we may not have the necessary financial or management resources to defend or prosecute our rights in connection with any litigation.
Other factors which may affect operating results include:
    the availability and pricing of competing products and the resulting effects on sales;
 
    the effectiveness of expense and cost control efforts;
 
    the ability to develop and deliver software products to market in a timely manner;
 
    the rate at which present and future customers adopt our new products and services in our target markets;
 
    the effects of new and emerging technologies;
 
    the ability to retain and hire key executives, management, technical personnel and other employees that are needed to implement business and product plans;
 
    the level of orders received that can be shipped in a fiscal quarter.
Due to all of the foregoing factors, and the other risks discussed in this report, you should not rely on past operating results as an indication of future performance.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
 
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
 
We lease approximately 26,000 square feet of space in Fountain Valley, California. This facility houses our corporate headquarters, which includes executive and administrative offices, service and support staff, system integration staff, and our inventory warehouse. The lease will expire on March 31, 2010.
In addition, we lease approximately 20,500 square feet of office space in Henderson, Nevada from our Chief Executive Officer pursuant to a ten-year lease that expires on March 31, 2017. The facility houses our research and development team, our inside sales team and X-Charge group. We also have various immaterial leases for sales offices throughout the country.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
Other than the ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business that we are involved in or threatened with from time to time, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our properties are subject.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
 
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

The selected financial data as of September 30, 2005 and for the years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 have been derived from our audited financial statements not included herein. The data is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included elsewhere in this report by incorporation by reference.
Note (B) Information for Item 8 is included in our financial statements as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 2007, and our unaudited quarterly financial data for the two years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, on pages 12 through 24 and page 28, respectively, of our 2007 Annual Report to Stockholders which is hereby incorporated by reference. The reports of the independent registered public accounting firms are included on pages 25 and 26 of the Annual Report to Stockholders.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Interest Rate Risk
At September 30, 2007 and 2006, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $22,047,000 and $15,196,000, respectively. At September 30, 2007 and 2006, we also held $6,388,000 and $8,457,000, respectively, of marketable available-for-sale securities consisting of debt instruments and certificate of deposits that bear interest rate risk. We place substantially all of our interest bearing investments with major financial and corporate institutions to limit risk. A 10% decline in interest rate yields would have resulted in a decrease in interest income of approximately $132,000 and $97,000 for the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Equity Price Risk
We do not invest in available-for-sale equity securities, and, therefore, are not subject to significant equity price risk.

Table of Contents

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
We do not operate internationally and, therefore, are not subject to market risk from changes in foreign exchange rates.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
None.
ITEM 9AT. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our fourth quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Overview
Our Compensation Committee has responsibility for setting our overall compensation strategy and aligning it with our business goals. This includes determining the compensation of our chief executive officer and other executive officers, overseeing our equity incentive plans and other benefit plans and ensuring that our compensation programs are fair, reasonable and competitive. In determining compensation, the Compensation Committee seeks to ensure that the compensation of our executive officers that aligns their interests with the interests of our stockholders. The Compensation Committee must also review and approve all forms of deferred compensation and incentive compensation, including stock option grants, stock grants, and other forms of incentive compensation granted to our executive officers.
Compensation Philosophy and Program Objectives
Our executive compensation program is designed (i) to attract and retain outstanding executive officers capable of leading the company to fulfillment of its business objectives, and (ii) to establish an appropriate link between executive compensation and achievement of our strategic and financial performance goals, including the enhancement of shareholder value. Our compensation program is specifically designed to reward our executive officers for individual performance, years of experience, contributions to our financial success, and creation of stockholder value. Our compensation philosophy is to provide overall compensation levels that (i) are sufficient to attract and retain talented executives and to motivate those executives to achieve superior results, (ii) align executives’ interests with our corporate strategies, our business objectives, and the long-term interests of our stockholders, (iii) enhance executives’ incentives to increase our stock price and maximize stockholder value, and (iv) are consistent with our constant focus on controlling costs. In many instances we build our compensation elements around long term retention and development together with annual rewards based on specific focus areas.
In hiring and retaining executive management, we compete with a variety of companies, including larger companies with greater resources. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee believes it is appropriate to offer executives, subject to performance goals being met, long-term incentive compensation that is intended to align their interests more closely with those of all stockholders. These long-term equity incentive grants are generally targeted to a composite group of companies. Based upon its deliberations and analysis, the Compensation Committee believes that within the framework defined above our executive compensation practices provide an overall level of compensation that is competitive with the level of compensation of companies of similar size, complexity, revenue and growth potential, and that its executive compensation practices recognize the caliber, level of experience and performance of our management.
Assessing Executive Performance and Results
The Compensation Committee assesses the performance of the chief executive officer and it works with the chief executive officer in determining the performance assessments of the other executive officers. Performance is assessed and recognized through the annual planning and budget process. During this process, key strategies and

11


Table of Contents

objectives are established for both the short and long term. During the initial planning meeting and then each quarter, results are reviewed against the plan and budget. We do not use specific quantitative targets or formulas to assess executive performance or determine compensation.
Although the compensation process is managed and driven and decisions made by the Compensation Committee, the views of certain of our executive officers are taken into account in connection with setting the compensation of other executive officers. Executive officers participate in the preparation of materials requested by the Compensation Committee for use and consideration at Compensation Committee meetings and the Compensation Committee has the opportunity to meet with each of the executive officers at various times during the year to assess performance. In assessing the performance of the executive officers, the Compensation Committee does not assign specific weights to the factors considered.
Our chief executive officer prepares recommendations regarding the individual and corporate performance goals and objectives of our other officers that are periodically established. Additionally, the chief executive officer recommends compensation and other terms of employment for these officers. The Compensation Committee reviews and considers these recommendations in its deliberations, taking into account the officer’s success in achieving his or her individual performance goals and objectives and the corporate performance goals and objectives deemed relevant to the officer as established by the Compensation Committee. The chief executive officer may be present during these deliberations, but does not vote.
The same criteria are key elements in the assessment of the chief executive officer’s performance by the Compensation Committee. The Board of Directors determines, in its sole discretion, the compensation and other terms of employment of our chief executive officer, based on the Compensation Committees’ recommendation and evaluation of the chief executive officer’s performance in light of relevant corporate performance goals and objectives. The chief executive officer is not present for the discussion and does not participate in the decisions regarding his compensation.
Elements of Compensation
Our executive compensation program has two major elements, fixed salary and incentive compensation. Incentive compensation consists of cash bonuses and non-qualified stock options. Our compensation program also consists of providing our senior executive officers with employee benefits that are generally available to all of our employees including, matching contributions to a defined contribution (401(k)) retirement plan and health insurance benefits. The mix of fixed salary and incentive compensation is determined by the Compensation Committee to provide the right balance of market competitiveness and align the executive’s incentive compensation with business performance and stockholder return.
Salary
Salary is intended to compensate executive officers at a level which is appropriate for an executive in his or her position, consistent with experience and capabilities and in an amount which is competitive with the level of compensation paid by companies of similar size, complexity, revenues and growth potential. The Compensation Committee reviews the salary information of a broader survey group of similar sized companies in the industry and a peer group of companies and uses such information as a guideline in establishing the salary for each executive officer. We believe that offering competitive salaries gives us the opportunity to attract and retain talented managerial employees.
Incentive Bonuses
The Compensation Committee believes that the relative portion of an executive officer’s compensation that is variable rather than fixed should increase as the scope and level of the individual’s business responsibilities increase. This allows us to more closely match total compensation with our actual performance. Accordingly, the calculation of annual incentive bonus payments under our senior management incentive plan for executive officers is determined based on the company’s actual performance measured against objective performance criteria approved by the Compensation Committee as described below.

12


Table of Contents

Performance goals are established on an annual basis in connection with our budgeting process. These measures are believed to best reflect the short-term performance of the company, as they are directly influenced by management’s actions and exclude investment income and other non-operating factors that affect pre-tax income. For fiscal 2007, achievement of the target bonus was based on achieving specified pre-tax income goal. The Compensation Committee believes the goals set are challenging, but achievable. When appropriate, the Compensation Committee will subsequently consider adjusting the targets to take into account developments which occur after the budget process has concluded.
Bonuses are based on achievement of pre-tax income goals and are intended to motivate short-term financial performance of the company. It is intended that high levels of achievement will provide executives with above average levels of current compensation, and that lower levels of achievement will provide executives with below average levels of current compensation.
Stock Options Compensation
We no longer grant stock options to executives as a form of compensation.
Employee Benefit Programs
Our 401(k) plan is based on employee contributions and partial company matching. The Compensation Committee believes that the contribution levels to the 401(k) plan are typical and necessary to recruit and retain qualified executives.
We cover the cost of health care benefits for executives and their families. The terms of our health care programs for both current employees and retirees do not discriminate in scope, term or operation in favor of our executive employees.
All salaried employees are entitled to payment of salary for any accumulated but unused vacation days upon termination of employment.
Deferred Compensation Plan
We do not have a deferred compensation plan.
Miscellaneous Benefits
We do not provide special perquisites and benefits to executive officers. Executive officers are compensated through salary and incentive compensation only. We do not provide cars, private air travel, family travel reimbursement or other special travel benefits to executive officers. Except for the 401(k) plan described above, we have no pension or retirement plan. We do not maintain lodging for the benefit of executive officers or reimburse executive officers for lodging expenses except in connection with business travel, including company requested relocations. We do not provide tax planning assistance, financial planning or other personal services to executive officers nor do we reimburse executive officers for any such services. Except for the tax gross ups in connection with a change in control described below, we do not provide tax assistance to executive officers. We do not provide club memberships or other personal social or entertainment benefits to executive officers, nor do we reimburse executive officers for any such costs. We do not make loans or provide guarantees to executive officers.
Allocations Between Forms of Compensation
Executive compensation is designed to be comprised of 55% to 65% of fixed salary and 35% to 45% of variable compensation based on performance factors.
CEO Performance and Compensation
Within the framework described above, the Compensation Committee evaluates the performance of our chief

13


Table of Contents

executive officer and determines the officer’s salary and bonus on an annual basis. The Compensation Committee sets qualitative objectives and responsibilities for the chief executive officer consistent with our business model. These include creating shareholder value through revenue and profit growth, strategic planning and new product development, enhancement of stockholder value and effective Board and stockholder communications.
Accounting and Tax Implications
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits deductions for executive compensation in excess of $1 million, except for certain compensation which qualifies for a performance-based exception. Certain types of compensation in excess of $1 million are deductible by us if performance criteria are specified in detail and are contingent on stockholder approval of the compensation arrangement. The equity grants under our stock option plans are not subject to deduction limit. Cash compensation paid to our named executive officers did not exceed the Section 162(m) thresholds in fiscal 2007.
While the Compensation Committee will continue to consider deductibility under Section 162(m) with respect to future compensation arrangements with executives, deductibility will not be the only factor used in ascertaining appropriate levels or modes of compensation. Since corporate objectives may not always be consistent with the requirements for full deductibility, it is possible that the Compensation Committee may, in the future, enter into compensation arrangements where the payments are not fully deductible under Section 162(m).
Beginning on October 1, 2005, we began accounting for stock-based compensation in accordance with the requirements of SFAS 123(R).
Change in Control agreements
We have change in control agreements in place with Geoffrey Knapp, our Chief Executive Officer, and Paul Caceres, our Chief Financial Officer. The agreements require each officer’s position, duties, title, authority and responsibilities to be at least commensurate with those held prior to any change in control. If after a change in control the executive is terminated without cause or resigns due to a reduction in authority and responsibilities, the officer will receive payments equal to 299% of their base salary and a bonus based on their compensation from the fiscal year ended prior to the year in which the termination takes place. The agreements include a provision for participation in the Company’s benefit plans, including medical, disability and life insurance, and fringe benefits, for 18 months following termination other than for cause after a change of control. The agreements also include provisions to gross up payments made following termination of employment after a change in control in order to eliminate, to the extent possible, the effect of the excise tax on such payments that might be imposed by Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code to the extent possible. If a triggering event of a change in control was to occur on the last business day of the most recently completed fiscal year, the agreement calls for a lump sum payment of $1,360,000 to Mr. Knapp and $900,000 to Mr. Caceres, in addition to the applicable gross up payments. Each agreement is for a term of 12 months and automatically renews on an annual basis.
A “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if: (i) a third person, including a “group” as defined in Article 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, becomes the beneficial owner of shares of the company (a) having 30% or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of directors of the company in 1996; and (b) having 30% or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of directors of the company in 1997 and thereafter; or (ii) as the result of, or in connection with, any cash tender or exchange offer, merger of other business combination, sale of assets or contested election, or any combination of the foregoing transactions (a “Transaction”), the persons who were directors of the company before the Transaction shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the company or any successor to the company.
Compensation of Directors
The compensation plan for non-employee directors has changed. Beginning in fiscal 2006, they each receive $5,000 for every Board meeting they attend. Prior to fiscal 2006, they were each granted options to purchase 7,500 shares of common stock when they were elected at the annual stockholders meeting each year. The non-employee directors are Walter Straub, David Frosh, and Donald Clark. These directors were also eligible to be reimbursed for their expenses in attending meetings of the Board of Directors and committees of the Board. Directors who are employees of the company receive no compensation for serving on the Board of Directors.

Employment agreements
Geoffrey Knapp, Chief Executive Officer, and Paul Caceres, Chief Financial Officer, each have 12-month employment agreements that renew automatically on an annual basis. On December 20, 2006, the Company amended the employment agreements. Other than each executive’s base salary, the terms of the employment agreements are substantially identical. Severance payment for termination other than for cause was increased in 2006 from 100% of the executive’s base salary and annual bonus in the fiscal year prior to the year in which the termination occurred to 299% of such amount. In addition to terminations for good reason by the executive because of a breach of the employment agreement by the company or substantial adverse change in his authority or responsibilities, the executive may also terminate the agreement and receive the severance payment if he is required to be based or perform services at an office or location other than the one he is based at immediately prior to a change of control, except for reasonable travel requirements. The agreements provide a minimum annual base salary of $326,500 for Mr. Knapp and $207,000 for Mr. Caceres. The agreements also include a provision for annual bonuses to be paid based on achieving annual performance goals.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
As noted above, the members of the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 were Walter Straub, Donald Clark, and David Frosh. Neither Walter Straub nor Donald Clark has ever been an officer or employee of our company. David Frosh was formerly employed by our company as President from June 1996 to March 2001. None of our executive officers served as a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of such committee, the entire Board of Directors) or as an executive officer of another entity during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.
No member of the Compensation Committee had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction or series of similar transactions that have occurred since the beginning of our fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, or in any currently proposed transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or are to be a party in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000.
1993 Stock Option Plan
In April 1993, our stockholders approved our 1993 Stock Option Plan (the “1993 Plan”) under which non-statutory options may be granted to key employees and individuals who provide services to us, at a price not less than the fair market value at the date of grant. The options are exercisable based on vesting periods as determined by the Board of Directors and expire ten years from the date of grant. The 1993 Plan expired in April 2003. At the time, options exercisable for all 1,200,000 shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under the 1993 Plan had been granted.
2000 Stock Option Plan
In April 2000, our Board of Directors approved our 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”) under which non-statutory options may be granted to key employees and individuals who provide services to us, at a price not less than the fair market value at the date of grant. The options are exercisable based on vesting periods as determined by the Board of Directors and expire ten years from the date of grant. The 2000 Plan was not formally approved by our stockholders. The 2000 Plan allows for the issuance of an aggregate of 750,000 shares of our common stock. The 2000 Plan term is unlimited in duration. Options for 538,000 shares of our common stock have been granted under the 2000 Plan as of September 30, 2007.
Information required to be disclosed for options, warrants and rights is hereby incorporated by reference to our 2007 Annual Report on pages 21-24; footnote 5 “Share-Based Compensation.”
401(k) Plan
In July 1991, we adopted a contributory profit-sharing plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which covers substantially all employees. Under the plan, eligible employees are able to contribute up to 15% of their compensation. Our contributions are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. We made a matching contribution of $176,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.

(4)   Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable, or will become exercisable within 60 days from September 30, 2007, are deemed outstanding, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of any other person. The total amount of these shares with respect to which all of the above have rights to acquire beneficial ownership in sixty (60) days are as follows: Geoffrey Knapp 50,000; Paul Caceres 35,000; Walter Straub 70,000; David Frosh 22,000; and Donald Clark 26,000. To our knowledge, each person named in the table has the sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by such person or entity.
We do not know of any arrangements, including any pledge of our securities by any person, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the company.
The following table sets forth the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, the weighted- average exercise price of such options, and the number of shares remaining available for issuance as of the end of the company’s most recently completed fiscal year.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS, RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
 
On December 19, 2006, we renewed a lease agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, Geoffrey D. Knapp, for approximately 20,500 square feet of office space in Henderson, Nevada. The lease is for a ten-year term that commences upon the completion of the building expansion space, which occurred on April 13, 2007. The initial rent of $25,949 per month is subject to annual percentage increases equal to the increases, if any, in the Consumer Price Index. No rent adjustment, however, shall be less than two percent (2%) nor greater than four percent (4%).
In accordance with our written Related Party Transactions Policy, out Audit Committee reviewed and approved this related party transaction, finding that the lease is on terms no less favorable to the company than those generally available from third parties. Pursuant to our Related Party Transactions Policy, our Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving the terms and conditions of all related party transactions. Any material financial transaction with an officer, director, 5% or more shareholder or immediate family member of any of the foregoing would need to be approved by our Audit Committee.
In determining whether to approve or ratify a related party transaction, our Related Party Transactions Policy requires the Audit Committee to review the material facts of the transaction and take into account, among other factors the Audit Committee may deem appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms

generally available to or from an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction.
There were no transactions required to be reported under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules since October 1, 2006 where our related party transactions policies and procedures did not require review, approval or ratification or where such policies and procedures were not followed.
Our Board of Directors consists of Geoffrey Knapp, Walter Straub, David A. Frosh and Donald A. Clark. Mr. Straub, Mr. Frosh and Mr. Clark meet the criteria for independence as required by NASDAQ Global Market listing standards. These three individuals are the members of our Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

(3)   Breakdown of the total fees is as follow: Ernst & Young LLP-$106,000 and McGladrey & Pullen, LLP- $52,000
We appointed Ernst & Young LLP as our new independent registered public accounting firm in June 2007. McGladrey & Pullen, LLP was our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2005 fiscal year through June 2007.
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies
Our Audit Committee has adopted detailed pre-approval policies and procedures pursuant to which audit, audit-related and tax services, and all permissible non-audit services, are pre-approved by category of service. All of these services were pre-approved in fiscal years 2006 and 2007. The fees are budgeted, and actual fees versus the budget are monitored throughout the year. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent accountant for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, we will obtain the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee before engaging the independent accountant. The policies require the Audit Committee to be informed of each service, and the policies do not include any delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to management. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated will report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee no later than at its next scheduled meeting.
