Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Regulations promulgated by the SEC require the Company to disclose in this Management Proxy Circular and Proxy Statement any reporting violations with respect to the 2007 fiscal year, which came to the Company’s attention based on a review of the applicable filings required by the SEC to report such status as an officer or director or such changes in beneficial ownership as submitted to the Company.

Other than Form 4s for each of our officers and directors for option grants that should have been filed on or before September 22, 2006, which were actually filed on October 5, 2006 and October 10, 2006, we believe that our directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, have complied with all filing requirements of Section 16(a) for fiscal year 2007 applicable to such persons.

Item 11.

Executive Compensation.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Objectives and Overview

The Company seeks to provide total compensation to its executive officers that is commensurate with responsibilities and competitive in terms of total potential value, and that is tailored to the unique characteristics of the Company, in order to create an executive compensation program that adequately rewards executive officers for their roles in creating value for the Company’s stockholders. In the video game and entertainment accessory and software industry, where the Company competes for talent, base salary, annual cash bonuses, long-term equity compensation and employee perquisites are significant components of a competitive executive compensation program. The Company intends to be competitive with other similarly situated companies in its industry to permit it to attract and retain individuals with the skills necessary for the Company to execute its business plan.

In structuring its compensation program for executive officers, including the named executive officers who appear in the compensation tables following this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Company’s fundamental objectives are to:

•

Attract and retain talented executive officers who can contribute to the achievement of the Company’s goals, most notably, the increase in shareholder value;

•

Align the interests of the Company’s executive officers with the near, medium and long-term goals of the Company and the Company’s shareholders, employees and other stakeholders;

•

Focus executives on achievement of the Company’s goals in a manner that fosters team performance and team focus;

•

Reward superior performance by the Company as a whole, and to a lesser extent superior individual performance; and

•

Accomplish these objectives effectively while managing the total cost of the Company’s executive compensation plan.

To accomplish these objectives the Company employs two overarching principles in structuring its executive compensation. First, the Company believes that a significant portion of an executive’s overall compensation opportunity should be at risk and based upon the performance of the Company. As a result, if the Company fails to achieve its financial goals, and/or if the Company’s share price does not increase, significant portions of the total executive compensation package are not realized. The Company implements this principle by using variable elements, such as performance-based cash bonuses and equity incentive awards, as a significant portion of the total executive compensation package. Second, in structuring the performance-based elements of its compensation program, the Company seeks predominantly to reward overall performance by the Company, and only to a lesser extent, to reward individual executive performance. The Company believes this is appropriate to foster an environment of team work and to maximize the performance of the Company as a whole, as opposed to individuals within the Company. As a result, two significant variable components of executive compensation, namely management bonus plan awards and equity incentive awards, are most heavily weighted

to Company goals and Company performance. The bonus plan rewards achievement of stated Company financial metrics, with individual performance playing a smaller role. Equity awards are intended to align the incentives of the recipients with those of the Company’s shareholders.

Designing the Executive Compensation Program

The Company’s executive compensation program is designed and implemented principally by the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee with input from a number of sources, including the full Board, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and such additional compensation information as the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee deem appropriate. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee does not delegate, to management or any other parties, its duties to review the Company’s executive compensation program, which it reviews annually.

In determining compensation for executive officers, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee annually reviews information which it deems relevant. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee also evaluates the Company’s performance and generally determines whether the compensation elements and levels that it provides to its executive officers are appropriate relative to their counterparts, in light of each executive officer’s individual contribution to the Company’s performance. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee does not believe that it is appropriate to establish compensation levels based on compensation provided by other companies. Instead, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee relies upon its judgment in making compensation decisions, after reviewing the performance of the Company and carefully evaluating each executive officer’s individual performance and the Company’s performance during the year.

The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee directly determines the compensation package provided to the Chief Executive Officer based on the Chief Executive Officer’s individual performance and the performance of the Company, receiving input as it deems appropriate. In addition to being reviewed and approved by the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee, the compensation package for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer is reviewed and approved by the full Board, other than the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. For named executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, as well as for the Company’s other executive officers, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations for each individual’s compensation package to the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee. In making these recommendations the Chief Executive Officer considers the individual’s performance, the individual’s contribution to Company performance and input from the Company’s Human Resources Department. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee discusses these recommendations with the Chief Executive Officer. The Committee further reviews and discusses these recommendations in executive session without any members of management present.

Elements of Executive Compensation

The Company seeks to achieve the objectives of its executive compensation program through a mix of cash and equity compensation, plus appropriate health, welfare and other benefits. The specific elements of executive compensation are described below:

Base Salary. The Company provides base salary to provide a stable annual salary at a level consistent with what it believes to be approximately the middle of the range of the “market rate” for the functions performed for companies with characteristics similar to those of the Company. Base salary for executive officers, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, is determined on the date of hire, and evaluated annually thereafter or on any material change of duties, position, or in the market for compensation of such executive officers. In determining base salary for executive officers, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee considers individual and Company performance, potential of the executive officer to contribute to the long-term success of the Company, scope of responsibilities, experience and competitive salary practices.

Annual Cash Bonuses. In addition to base salary, a substantial portion of total potential compensation for executive officers may be provided through the opportunity to earn annual cash bonuses. Annual performance bonuses are intended to motivate executives to achieve the Company’s short-term goals, and are directly tied to meeting one or more pre-established company financial goals and on individual executive performance. Cash bonus award payments are based upon the degree of success in meeting these goals. In June 2007, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee adopted a bonus award program for executive officers and employees based upon achievement of total Company financial performance goals and individual performance objectives. For executives that report to our Chief Executive Officer 75% of each executive’s target bonus potential is based on the total company performance goals and 25% is based on individual performance goals. In December 2006, the Board approved bonus awards to the executive officers based on expected fiscal year 2007 Company performance. The bonuses were increased in June 2007 to reward and reflect the substantial improvement in the Company’s 2007 performance against prior year results and expectations.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation. Long-term incentive compensation generally includes awards granted under the Company’s stock option plan. Stock options are the only awards available for grant under the Company’s stock option plan. The objective of equity compensation awards is to align executive officers’ interests with the longer term interests of shareholders. These awards, which are at risk and dependent on the creation of incremental shareholder value over several years, represent a portion of the total compensation opportunity provided for the executive officers. Award sizes are based on level of responsibility, the individual’s potential to make significant contributions to the Company, individual performance, and award levels at other similar companies.

Other Benefits Programs. The Company’s executive compensation program also includes what it believes to be competitive benefits plans and programs, including a 401(k) savings plan and health and welfare benefits, such as medical, dental, vision care and life insurance benefits. In addition, from time to time, the Company provides executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that it and the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee believe are reasonable and consistent with its overall compensation philosophy to enable the Company to attract and retain the services of high-quality executive officers. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the types and levels of perquisites that are provided to executive officers. Mr. Richardson is also provided a car allowance.

Severance Benefits. Upon termination of employment, most of our executive officers are entitled to receive severance payments under employment agreements or offer letters. In determining whether to approve and setting the terms of such severance arrangements, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee recognizes that executives, especially highly ranking executives, often face challenges securing new employment following termination. In addition, severance benefits are a component of compensation packages that are competitive with those of the Company’s competitors. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee reviews and determines the severance benefits provided to executive officers in connection with reviewing employment agreements and offer letters. Information regarding the severance benefits to which our named executive officers are eligible is provided under the heading “Employment Agreements; Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control” below.

Section 162(m) Treatment Regarding Performance-Based Equity Awards

Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, a public company is generally denied deductions for compensation paid to the chief executive officer and the next four most highly compensated executive officers to the extent the compensation for any such individual exceeds one million dollars for the taxable year. The Company’s executive compensation programs are designed to preserve the deductibility of compensation payable to executive officers, although deductibility will be only one among a number of factors considered in determining appropriate levels or types of compensation.

Conclusion

With compensation based on annual base salary, performance-based bonuses, long term equity incentives and employee perquisites and severance arrangements, the Company seeks to achieve its executive compensation goals with a plan that is designed to be simple, clear and understandable to employees and investors, and without the more complex types of compensation practices used by some companies. No loans or loan policy exists with respect to executive officers. There are no deferred compensation programs in effect aside from the qualified Section 401(k) plan and no Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan or similar plans exist for executive officers. While future events may dictate the addition of different or additional compensation methods, there is no present plan to change the simple compensation policy now in effect.

Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee Report

The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this Proxy Statement with management. Based on such review and discussions, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 and in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2007 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Related Party Transactions

From April 1, 2006 to the present, there have been no (and there are no currently proposed) transactions in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000 to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries was (or is to be) a participant and in which any executive officer, director, nominee for director, 5% beneficial owner of the Company’s Common Stock or member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had (or will have) a direct or indirect material interest. Geofrey Myers, a director of the Company, is a partner of Lang Michener LLP, a law firm we retained to perform certain legal services in fiscal years 2006 and 2007. We paid Lang Michener LLP $113,069 for legal services in fiscal year 2006 and $56,753 in fiscal year 2007. These fees did not exceed 5% of Lang Michener LLP’s total revenues in either year.

Board of Directors

The Company’s Board of Directors consists of five members. Four of the Company’s directors are independent under the requirements set forth in the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) listing rules and National Instrument 58-101—Corporate Governance. For a director to be considered independent, the Board of Directors must determine that the director does not have a material relationship with the listed company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment. The Board of Directors has established guidelines to assist it in determining director independence, which conform to the independence requirements of the AMEX listing rules and National Instrument 58-101—Corporate Governance. In addition to applying these independence guidelines, the Board of Directors considers all relevant facts and circumstances in making an independence determination, and not merely from the standpoint of the director, but also from that of persons or organizations with which the director has an affiliation. The Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Brown, Myers, Molyneux and Woodward are independent.

The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of KPMG LLP, and has concluded that the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the independence of the Company’s auditors.

Audit Committee Policy Regarding Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of the Company’s Independent Auditors

The Company’s Audit Committee has established a policy that all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditors will be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. The Audit Committee considers whether the provision of each non-audit service is compatible with maintaining the independence of the Company’s auditors. Pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent auditors and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date.
