In March, 2005, the Board of Directors created a new position of presiding director, whose primary responsibility is to preside over periodic sessions of the Board of Directors in which management directors do not participate. The presiding director also advises the Chairman of the Board and Committee chairs with respect to agendas and information needs relating to the Board and Committee meetings, provides advice with respect to the selection of Committee chairs and performs other duties that the Board may from time to time delegate to assist the Board in the fulfillment of its responsibilities. The non-management members of the Board of Directors have designated Eric J. Schmertz to serve in this position. Shareholders and other parties interested in communicating directly with the presiding director or with the non-management directors as a group may do so by writing to Presiding Director, Wilshire Enterprises, Inc., 1 Gateway Center, Newark, New Jersey 07102.

Independence

Since the adoption of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in July 2002, there has been a growing public and regulatory focus on the independence of directors. The American Stock Exchange (the “AMEX”) has adopted amendments to its definition of independence. Additional requirements relating to independence are imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with respect to members of the Audit Committee. All of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors, and, accordingly, all members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee of the Board, have been determined to be “independent” pursuant to the definition contained in the AMEX’s Corporate Governance Rules and under the SEC’s Rule 10A-3.

Board of Directors’ Meetings

The Board of Directors of the Company holds periodic meetings as necessary to deal with matters which it must consider. The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating Committee. During 2006, the full Board met a total of 13 times, the Audit Committee 3 times, the Compensation Committee 4 times and the Nominating Committee acted by unanimous consent. Each Board member attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the Board and committee meetings (of committees on which each such director served) held during 2006.

Executive Committee

The Board of Directors has an Executive Committee, which consists of S. Wilzig Izak (Chair), W. Martin Willschick and Eric J. Schmertz. This Committee may exercise all authority of the full Board with the exception of specified limitations relating to major corporate matters.

The Audit Committee

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors serves to: (a) oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company, internal controls of the Company, and audits of the financial statements of the Company; (b) assist the Board of Directors in its oversight of: (i) the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, (ii) the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence, (iv) the performance of the Company’s internal audit functions and its independent auditors, and (v) the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company; and (c) prepare the Audit Committee report for inclusion in the proxy statement as required by the SEC.

The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Willschick (Chair), Mr. Schmertz and Mr. Donnenberg.

The Board of Directors has determined that W. Martin Willschick constitutes an “audit committee financial expert”, as such term is defined by the SEC. As noted above, Mr. Willschick - as well as the other members of the Audit Committee - has been determined to be “independent” within the meaning of SEC and AMEX regulations.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board serves to: (a) assist the Board in establishing and maintaining compensation and benefits policies and practices that support the successful recruitment, development and retention of talent in order to achieve the Company’s business objectives and optimize long-term financial returns; and (b) assist the Board in discharging its responsibilities for compensating the Company’s executives.

The members of the Compensation Committee are Mr. Schmertz (Chair), Mr. Wachtel and Mr. Berger.

Nominating Committee

The purposes of the Nominating Committee are to: (a) identify and screen individuals qualified for nomination to the Board; (b) recommend to the Board director nominees for election at each meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected and recommend to the Board individuals to fill any vacancies on the Board that arise between such meetings; and (c) recommend to the Board directors for appointment to each committee of the Board.

The members of the Nominating Committee are Mr. Berger (Chair), Mr. Wachtel and Mr. Donnenberg.

For a description of Ms. Izak’s business background, see “Board of Directors”.
   
(2) Mr. Elenio joined the Company in September, 2006 as its Chief Financial Officer. He served as Chief Financial Officer of WebCollage, Inc. (a private company engaged in on-line content syndication) from March, 2006 to September, 2006, and as Interim Chief Financial Officer of TWS Holdings, Ltd. (a private company engaged in business process outsourcing) from November, 2005 to March, 2006. Prior to that he served as Chief Financial Officer and a director of RoomLinx, Inc. (a public company which provides wireless high-speed network solutions to the hospitality industry) from December, 2003 to November, 2005, and as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of GoAmerica, Inc. (a public company which provides online wireless relay services to the deaf and hard of hearing community) from January, 1999 to August, 2003.
 
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires our directors, officers, and stockholders who beneficially own more than 10% of any class of our equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with respect to our equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All reporting persons are required to furnish us with copies of all reports that such reporting persons file with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a). Based on our review of the copies of such forms received by us or written representations from such reporting persons, each such reporting person filed all of their respective reports pursuant to Section 16(a) on a timely basis during 2006 except that Mr. Elenio, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, filed late a Form 3 reporting his ownership upon becoming an executive officer and a Form 4 reporting his grant of restricted stock, Mr. Ugelow, the Company’s former chief financial officer, filed late a Form 4 reporting the forfeiture of his restricted stock upon his resignation and Mr. Pryor, the Company’s former president, filed late a Form 4 reporting the sale of shares by him as custodian for his child. These failures to file in a timely manner were inadvertent, and the filings were made as soon as the failures to file were noted.
 
Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller and persons performing similar functions. A copy of the Code of Ethics is available on the Company’s website (http:// www.wilshireenterprisesinc.com) under the caption “Corporate Policies.”

Item 11. Executive Compensation
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
General

During 2006, the SEC substantially revised the disclosures that we are required to make with respect to executive compensation. As part of the SEC’s revised executive compensation discussion requirements, issuers must provide a “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in which issuers explain the material elements of their compensation of executive officers by describing the following:

·
the objectives of the issuer’s compensation programs;
     
  ·
the conduct that the compensation programs are designed to reward;
     
  · 
the elements of the compensation program;
     
  · 
the rationale for each of the elements of the compensation program;
     
  ·
how the issuer determines the amount (and, where applicable, the formula) for each element of the compensation program; and
     
  · 
how each element and the issuer’s decisions regarding that element fit into the issuer’s overall compensation objectives and affect decisions regarding other elements of the compensation program.
 
Our compensation philosophy is dictated by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The duties and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee, which consists entirely of independent directors of the Board, include the following:
 
·
administer the employee benefit plans of the Company designated for such administration by the Board;
     
  ·  establish the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (subject to the terms of any existing employment agreement);
     
  ·
with input from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, establish or recommend to the Board the compensation of the Company’s other executive officers (subject to the terms of any existing employment agreements); and
     
  · 
monitor the Company’s overall compensation policies and employment benefit plans.
 
S. Wilzig Izak, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, participates in determinations regarding the compensation and design of our benefit programs for all employees, including our other executive officers. However, she does not participate in determining her own compensation.

Our Compensation Objectives and the Focus of Our Compensation Rewards

We believe that an appropriate compensation program should draw a balance between providing rewards to executive officers while at the same time effectively controlling compensation costs. We reward executive officers in order to attract highly qualified individuals, to retain those individuals in a highly competitive marketplace for executive talent and to motivate them to perform in a manner that maximizes our corporate performance.

We view executive compensation as having two key elements:

·
a current cash compensation program consisting of salary and cash bonus incentives; and
     
  ·
long-term equity incentives reflected in grants of stock options and/or restricted stock awards.
 
We do not provide executive officers with significant perquisites or other benefits.

We annually review our mix of short term performance incentives versus longer term incentives. We do not have set percentages of short term versus long term incentives. Instead, we look to provide a reasonable balance of those incentives.

In connection with establishing the compensation of our executive officers for 2006, we engaged a consultant. However, in an effort to save costs, the Compensation Committee decided to increase the Chief Executive Officer’s salary by an amount which was less than the increase recommended by the consultant. See “Salary” below. We compare our salaries and other elements of compensation against the salaries and other compensation measures of other public companies in our industry by reviewing the proxy statements of such other companies. However, we do not prepare formal benchmarking studies. The Compensation Committee believes that the compensation paid to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer is less than the compensation paid to chief executive officers at other comparably sized real estate companies.

Specific Elements of Our Compensation Program

We have described below the specific elements of our compensation program for executive officers.

Salary. We pay salaries to our Named Officers in order to fairly compensate them for their day-to-day responsibilities in managing our business. Ms. Izak’s salary of $218,000 for 2006 represented a relatively small increase over her salary of $200,000 for both 2005 and 2004. The amount of her increase in salary for 2006 was less than the amount recommended by the Company’s outside consultant. Mr. Elenio joined the Company as Chief Financial Officer in September 2006 at an annual salary of $175,000, which the Compensation Committee believes is commensurate with his experience.

Bonus. Bonuses are designed to motivate executives by rewarding their individual performance and contribution to the Company’s financial performance. In connection with the Company’s continuing efforts to contain costs, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer did not receive a bonus for 2006.
 
-6-


Long-Term Incentive Compensation. We provide long-term incentives to our executive officers through our 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. We refer to this as our Stock Option Plan. Our Stock Option Plan permits the grant of stock options and restricted stock awards. Stock options and restricted stock awards were granted to our Chief Executive Officer in prior years, but not in 2006. Mr. Elenio received a restricted stock award of 25,000 shares upon joining the Company as Chief Financial Officer in September 2006. A total of 8,333 shares of the restricted stock awarded to Mr. Elenio vest on September 5, 2007, and the remaining 16,667 vest on September 5, 2008. The Compensation Committee may grant additional stock options or restricted stock awards to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in the future in its discretion.

Compliance with Sections 162(m) and 409A of the Internal Revenue Code

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code denies a deduction to any publicly held corporation for compensation paid to certain “covered employees” in a taxable year to the extent that compensation exceeds $1,000,000 for a covered employee. Certain performance-based compensation that has been approved by our shareholders is not subject to this limitation. As a result, stock options granted under our Stock Option Plan are not subject to the limitations of Section 162(m). However, restricted stock awards under our Stock Option Plan generally will not be treated as performance-based compensation. Restricted stock award grants made to date under the Stock Option Plan have not been at levels that, together with other compensation, approached the $1,000,000 limit. Also, since we retain discretion over cash bonuses, those bonuses also will not qualify for the exemption for performance-based compensation. Since none of the Company’s executive officers had compensation in excess of $1,000,000 for 2006, Section 162(m) was not applicable.

It is also our intention to maintain our executive compensation arrangements in conformity with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, which imposes certain restrictions on deferred compensation arrangements. We are in the process of reviewing and modifying, as necessary, our deferred compensation arrangements since the enactment of Section 409A in 2004 in order to remain compliant with provisional guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 409A.

Summary of Cash and Certain other Compensation
 
The following table sets forth, for the year ended December 31, 2006, a summary of the compensation earned by our Chief Executive Officer, our current Chief Financial Officer, our former Chief Financial Officer and our former President. We refer to the executive officers named in this table as the “Named Officers.”

(1)
Mr. Elenio joined the Company as Chief Financial Officer in September, 2006 at an annual salary of $175,000.
   
(2) Mr. Pryor previously served as the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer. On January 16, 2007, the Company delivered a letter to Mr. Pryor, notifying him that his employment with the Company terminated effective February 16, 2007. Also, on January 16, 2007, and after the letter referred to in the preceding sentence was delivered, the Company received a letter from Mr. Pryor, dated January 16, 2007, in which Mr. Pryor notified the Company that he was resigning from his employment with the Company effective as of January 14, 2007.
   
(3) Mr. Ugelow resigned as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer effective August 11, 2006.

In the table above:

·
when we refer to “stock awards”, we are referring to the dollar amount recognized by us for financial statement purposes in accordance with FAS 123R, an accounting pronouncement which governs the manner in which we account for equity based compensation; in calculating such dollar amounts, we have made the assumptions described in Note 6 of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2006; the amount for Mr. Elenio in the table above reflects the fair market value of the 25,000 restricted stock awards granted to him at $4.50 per share (a total of 8,333 shares of the restricted stock awarded to Mr. Elenio vest on September 5, 2007, and the remaining 16,667 vest on September 5, 2008);
     
  · in calculating the “stock awards”, we have disregarded any estimate of forfeitures relating to service-based vesting conditions; for 2006, for all grantees of stock awards and option awards under our plans, forfeitures amounted to $8,482; and
     
  · 
“all other compensation” includes the following:
     
 
-8-

 
  · 
for Ms. Izak: $12,000 for a travel allowance and $16,769 for unused vacation pay;
     
  · for Mr. Elenio: $2,760 for unused vacation pay and $10,000 as consideration for a waiver executed by him in connection with the previously disclosed amendment to the Company’s Stockholder Protection Rights Agreement in December 2006 (similar waivers were also executed by the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and other members of the Board of Directors, without compensation). Mr. Elenio and such other persons agreed in their waivers that the stock options and restricted stock granted to them under the Company’s stock option plans would not automatically vest in connection with such December 2006 amendment;
     
  ·
for Mr. Pryor: $12,000 for a travel allowance; and
     
  ·
for Mr. Ugelow: $1,125 for a travel allowance, $4,308 for unused vacation days from 2005 until Mr. Ugelow’s resignation in August 2006 and $6,969 as reimbursement for medical insurance premiums waived by Mr. Ugelow.
 
Grants of Plan Based Awards

The following table sets forth, for each of the Named Officers, information regarding awards that we granted to each Named Officer in 2006 under our 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. None of the Named Officers received an option grant during 2006, and Mr. Elenio was the only Named Officer to receive a restricted stock award. Messrs. Pryor and Ugelow are no longer with the Company.

Employment Agreements and Other Arrangements with Executive Officers

On March 29, 2004, the Company provided S. Wilzig Izak, the Chairman of the Board, with a severance agreement. The agreement provides that on termination of her employment for any reason other than termination for Cause (as defined), she will receive a payment equal to $200,000.

On April 24, 2004, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Daniel C. Pryor, who initially served as Vice President-Business Development until June 30, 2004 and, thereafter, as the President and Chief Operating Officer. The term of Mr. Pryor’s employment agreement was through June 30, 2007. Under the agreement, Mr. Pryor received an annual base salary of $250,000 per year plus $1,000 per month as a car allowance. He was entitled to an annual bonus and stock options as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, or the Committee that administers the Company’s stock option plan, as the case may be. The agreement provides that in the event that the agreement is terminated other than for “Cause” (as defined in the agreement), or in the event of a Change in Control Event (as defined in the Company’s 1995 Stock Option and Incentive Plan), all non-vested options shall automatically vest. In addition, in the event that the agreement is terminated other than for Cause, the Company shall continue to pay Mr. Pryor’s base salary through the Expiration Date. In addition, upon a Change in Control, Mr. Pryor may elect to terminate his employment and receive a lump sum payment equal to twice his then current annual salary, subject to certain limitations. The agreement prohibits Mr. Pryor from competing with the Company for a period of two years from the expiration date and contains certain restrictions on soliciting customers and employees of the Company for the same period.

On January 16, 2007, the Company delivered a letter to Mr. Pryor, notifying him that his employment with the Company terminated effective February 16, 2007. Also, on January 16, 2007, and after the letter referred to in the preceding sentence was delivered, the Company received a letter from Mr. Pryor, dated January 16, 2007, in which Mr. Pryor notified the Company that he was resigning from his employment with the Company effective as of January 14, 2007.

The Company entered into a letter agreement with Seth Ugelow, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. Mr. Ugelow’s employment was “at will”; however, if the Company terminated his employment without cause, he would be entitled to receive the greater of 16 weeks of severance pay or any severance payments provided to him under the Company’s severance policy in effect at the time of such termination. In addition, the letter agreement provided that upon a Change in Control (as defined in the letter agreement), Mr. Ugelow may elect to terminate his employment and receive a lump sum payment equal to the sum of six months of salary plus 50% of any cash bonus paid to him during the previous 12 month period. The agreement prohibits Mr. Ugelow from competing with the Company for a period of six months after his employment terminates and contains certain restrictions on soliciting customers and employees of the Company for the same period. Mr. Ugelow resigned from the Company effective August 11, 2006.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
 
Each of Messrs. Berger, Donnenberg, Schmertz, Wachtel and Willschick has been determined to be “independent” within the meaning of SEC and AMEX regulations. Accordingly, all of the members of the Company’s Compensation, Nominating and Audit Committees are independent.

There have been no related party transactions requiring disclosure under the SEC’s rules since January 1, 2006.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has adopted written procedures governing related party transactions. The procedures require the Audit Committee to approve in advance any related party transaction. On a quarterly basis, the Audit Committee makes inquiry of management and the other directors of the Company to determine whether any of these persons is aware of any related party transactions. By “related party transaction,” we mean a transaction between the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and an executive officer, director or immediate family member of an executive officer or a director, on the other hand.

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services
 
In accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Audit Committee’s charter, all audit and audit-related work and all non-audit work performed by the Company’s independent accountants is approved in advance by the Audit Committee, including the proposed fees for such work. The Audit Committee is informed of each service actually rendered and differences between the proposed fees and the final fees, if any.

Audit Fees

The aggregate fees incurred by the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 for professional services rendered by J.H. Cohn LLP, the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, in connection with (i) the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements and (ii) the review of the financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q were $137,000 and $161,500, respectively.

Audit-Related Fees

The Company incurred $5,361 and $47,600 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, for assurance and related services by J.H. Cohn in connection with the performance of the audit and review of the Company’s financial statements.

Tax Fees

The Company did not incur any fees for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 for professional services rendered by J.H. Cohn for tax compliance, tax advice or tax planning.

All Other Fees

The Company incurred $7,210 and $13,699 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, for other services rendered by J.H. Cohn, including work related to their attendance at Audit Committee meetings and the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In 2005, the Company incurred fees from Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s prior public accountants, in the amount of $16,500 for their review of SEC filings.

Of the time expended by the Company’s principal accountants to audit the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, less than 50% of such time involved work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.


The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of the Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees are compatible with maintaining the independence of the Company’s principal accountant.

Applicable law and regulations provide an exemption that permits certain services to be provided by the Company’s outside auditors even if they are not pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Company has not relied on this exemption since the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was enacted.
