Our board of directors determined that when a director's services are outside the normal duties of a director, we compensate the director at the rate of $1,000 per day, plus expenses, which is the same amount we pay a director for attending a one-day Board meeting. We classify these amounts as consulting expenses, included in personnel and consulting expenses.

 

At December 31, 2013, $2,618,000 of the outstanding Notes were payable to related parties; $2,518,000 to the chairman of our Board, Peter Brennan, and $100,000 to another director, Stan Yarbro.
