The 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the Annual Meeting) of the Company was held on July

an amendment to the Section 1(a) of Article IV of the Companys Bylaws to reduce the authorized
number of the Companys directors to a minimum of four and a maximum of seven directors; (ii) the
election of five directors to serve until the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their
successors are elected; (iii) approval of the adoption of the Companys 2011 Equity Incentive Plan,
which sets aside a total of 750,000 shares (subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan) of the
Companys common stock for the grant of options, restricted shares and other equity incentives to
the Companys officers and other key employees and directors; and (iv) ratification of the
appointment of Squar, Milner, Peterson, Miranda & Williamson LLP as the Companys independent
registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2012. Only shareholders
of record as of May 31, 2011 (the Record Date) were entitled to notice of and to vote at the
Annual Meeting.

below.
