PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
To be Held May 7, 2008

          This Proxy Statement is furnished to shareholders of Interphase Corporation, a Texas corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company for use at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held on May 7, 2008. Proxies in the form enclosed will be voted at the meeting if properly executed, returned to the Company prior to the meeting, and not revoked. The proxy may be revoked at any time before it is voted by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Company. This proxy statement is first being mailed to shareholders on or about April 4, 2008.

PERSONS MAKING THE SOLICITATION

          The accompanying proxy is being solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company. The cost of soliciting the proxies and the annual meeting will be borne entirely by the Company. In addition to the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited by personal interview, telephone, and telegram by directors and officers and employees of the Company. Arrangements may also be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock, $.10 par value (“Common Stock”), held of record by such persons, and the Company may reimburse them for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses they incur in connection with forwarding the solicitation material.

OUTSTANDING CAPITAL STOCK AND RECORD DATE

          The record date for shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the annual meeting is March 10, 2008. At the close of business on that date, the Company had issued, outstanding and entitled to be voted at the meeting 6,547,994 shares of Common Stock.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN AT THE MEETING

          The accompanying proxy, unless the shareholder otherwise specifies in the proxy, will be voted for the election as directors of the Company of the six persons named under the caption “Election of Directors”, and, in the discretion of the proxy holder, with respect to such other business as may properly come before the meeting.

          Where shareholders have appropriately specified how their proxies are to be voted, they will be voted accordingly. If any other matter or business is brought before the meeting, the proxy holders may vote the proxies at their discretion. The directors do not know of any such other matter or business.

2

QUORUM AND VOTING

          The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is necessary to constitute a quorum at the annual meeting. In deciding all questions, a holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote, in person or by proxy, for each share held in his or its name on the record date. Abstentions will be included in vote totals and, as such, will have the same effect on each proposal other than the election of directors as a negative vote. Because the six nominees for director who receive the most votes will be elected, any abstention will not be included in vote totals. Broker non-votes, if any, will not be included in vote totals and will have no effect on any proposal at this meeting.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Interphase’s Business Environment — Interphase Corporation is a leading provider of robust building blocks, highly integrated subsystems and innovative gateway appliances for the converged communications network. Building on a 30-year history of providing advanced I/O solutions for telecom and enterprise applications, and addressing the need for high speed connectivity, Interphase has established a key leadership role in delivering next generation AdvancedTCA^® and AdvancedMC^™ solutions to the marketplace.

Objectives and Philosophy of Our Compensation Programs

          Our executive compensation program is driven by our business environment and is designed to enable us to achieve our strategic priorities and adhere to Company values. The program’s objectives are to:

• Attract, motivate, and retain a team of talented leadership who help ensure our future success;

• Align executives’ interests with the interests of shareholders;

• Reward success as a management team in supporting overall business objectives and in obtaining key financial metrics in a lean and flexible environment;

• Provide a balance between short-term goals and long-term priorities to achieve immediate objectives while also focusing on increasing shareholder value over the long term; and

• Provide incentives that will stimulate executive behavior such as high performance, integrity, teamwork, and loyalty to achieve defined plan priorities, financial goals, and strategic objectives intended to provide shareholders with a superior rate of return.

          Our compensation programs must be competitive with other programs for similarly placed executives at companies within the telecom and general technology industries. Independent compensation consultants are periodically retained for advice and guidance in assessing whether our executive compensation program is competitive. Executive compensation programs impact all employees by setting general levels of compensation and by helping to create an environment of strategic priorities, incentives, and expectations. Because we believe the performance of every employee is important to our success, we are mindful of the effect executive compensation and incentive programs have on all of our employees.

          The guiding principles of our programs are:

• Enabling a high-performance organization;

• Competitiveness in the marketplace in which we compete for talent;

• Optimization of the cost to us and value to our executives;

• Global consistency with business-driven flexibility; and

• Conscientious and thoughtful decision-making and execution delivery.

          To this end, we will measure the success of our programs by:

13

• Overall business performance and executive engagement;

• Ability to attract and retain key executive talent;

• Costs and business risks that are limited to levels that optimize risk and return; and

• Executive understanding and perceptions that ensure program value equals or exceeds program cost.

          All of our compensation and benefits for our executives described below have as a primary purpose the ability to attract, motivate, and retain highly talented individuals who will engage in the behaviors necessary to enable us to succeed in our mission while upholding our values in a highly competitive marketplace. We believe that the performance of our executives, considered in light of general economic and industry conditions, our company, and competitive conditions, should be another key basis for determining overall compensation. We also believe that compensation should not be based on the short-term performance of our stock, whether favorable or unfavorable, as we expect the price of our stock will, in the long-term, reflect our operating performance, and ultimately, the management by our executives. Beyond that, different elements are designed to engender different behaviors:

• Base Salaries are designed to attract and retain executives over time.

• Long-Term Incentives, generally performance-based restricted stock and restricted stock under the shareholder approved 2004 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (“LTSIP”), focus executives’ efforts on the behaviors within the recipient’s control that we believe are necessary to ensure the long-term success of the Company, as reflected in increases to the Company’s stock prices over a period of several years, growth in its earnings per share, and other elements.

• Annual Cash Incentives are designed to focus executives on the objectives listed in the Company’s plan priorities for a particular year, and other metrics as may be determined during the annual operating plan process.

• Change in Control and Termination Benefits are designed to facilitate the Company’s ability to attract and retain executives as the Company competes for talented employees in the marketplace where such protections are commonly offered. These benefits ease an executive’s transition due to an unexpected employment termination by the Company due to on-going changes in the Company’s employment needs. The Change in Control provisions encourage executives to remain focused on the Company’s business in the event of a rumored or actual fundamental corporate change.

14

          In particular, in determining total compensation, we stress a compensation philosophy that is performance driven with competitive base salaries, but high variability in incentives. We believe that our total compensation is competitive with comparable positions at companies in our industry.

Pay Elements of Our Compensation Programs

          To promote the objectives of our compensation programs, our compensation programs consist of the following principal elements:

Pay Element	What the Pay Element Rewards	Purpose of the Pay Element
Base Salary	•   Core competence in the executive role relative to skills, experience and contributions to the Company	•   To provide fixed compensation based on competitive market practice
Annual Cash Incentive	•   Contributions toward the Company’s achievement of specified revenue and net income/profitability metrics	•   To provide focus on meeting annual goals that lead to our long-term success
		•   To provide annual performance-based cash incentive compensation
		•   To motivate achievement of critical annual performance metrics
	Restricted Stock:
	•   Continued employment with the Company during a specified vesting period	•   To attract and retain the best people for the Company
Long-Term Incentives	Performance-based Restricted Stock:	•   To provide stock ownership to executives
	•   Achievement by executives of key performance metrics for Company success	•   To increase the executives’ interest in the Company’s welfare
	•   Continued employment with the Company during a specified vesting period	•   To promote the success of the Company’s business

15

Pay Element	What the Pay Element Rewards	Purpose of the Pay Element
Change in Control and Termination Benefits	•   Focused effort by our executives in the event of a rumored or actual fundamental corporate change	•   To retain executives and provide continuity of management in the event of an actual or threatened change in control

          The use of these programs enables us to reinforce our “pay for performance” philosophy, as well as strengthens our ability to attract and retain highly qualified executives. We believe that this combination of programs provides an appropriate mix of fixed and variable pay, balances short-term operational performance with long-term shareholder value, and encourages executive recruitment and retention. Additionally, the Compensation Committee maintains flexibility, enabling management and the Board to make decisions regarding executive compensation based on the needs of the business and to recognize different levels of individual contribution.

How Each Pay Element is Determined

          The components of our compensation program are determined as follows:

          Base Salary. Base salaries are determined based on competitive market practice and our ability to attract, motivate, and retain executives. Base salaries for our executive officers are reviewed on an annual basis, and adjusted where appropriate. Salary ranges are established for each executive officer based on the marketplace median for that position and a salary is assigned to the executive within that range based on individual performance, prior experience and contribution to the financial goals and strategic objectives of the Company. With the exception of Mr. Kalush who received a base salary adjustment in July 2007 and Ms. Shute who received a base salary adjustment in November 2004, executive base salaries had not been adjusted since 2000 except for promotion-related increases. During 2007, the Compensation Committee commissioned an independent compensation firm to conduct a comprehensive analysis of competitive companies. As a result of the firm’s findings a comparison group of 21 companies (“comparison group”) was selected from publicly traded U.S. companies classified under the Global Industry Classification System (GICS) as Communications Equipment, Computer Storage and Peripherals and Electronic Manufacturing Services. The 21 companies included in the comparison group were Airspan Networks, Avici Systems, Communications Systems, Dataram, Ditech Networks, Endwave, Isco International, Lantronix, Network Engines, NMS Communications, Packeteer, PC TTEL, Performance Technologies, Proxim Wireless, RF Industries, Radisys, Relm Wireless, Socket Communications, Staktek Holdings, Telknonet and Verso Technologies. Based on this comparison group and the findings of the independent firm, there was an adjustment made to base salaries in the first quarter 2008 for our executives.

          Annual Cash Incentives. Executive bonuses are intended to link executive compensation with the attainment of defined Company goals on an annual basis. Each fiscal year during the annual planning process, the Compensation Committee, after consulting with management of the Company, establishes business and financial targets for the Company. Annual bonus targets are established based upon these business and financial targets. Annual bonuses for our executives are reviewed and paid in February after the audit of the Company’s financial results is substantially completed. For 2007, executive bonuses were

16

based upon the achievement of certain minimum revenue and net income targets. The revenue achievement accounts for 60% of the bonus calculation while the net income achievement accounts for 40%. A certain percentage achievement in the revenue portion will result in a specified percentage payout of the 60% portion of the bonus and likewise for the net income portion. The table below shows the percentage achievement and the resulting payout percentages based on the 2007 bonus plan. For 2007, the Compensation Committee approved revenue and net income achievement targets at the 100% achievement levels were higher than the actual revenue and net income achieved in 2006.

Revenue		Net Income
Achievement %	Payout %	Achievement %	Payout %
0.0 — 87.9	0	0.0 — 29.9	0
88.0 — 88.9	10 — 20	30.0 — 74.9	10 — 54
90.0 — 92.9	20 — 35	75.0 — 100.0	56 — 100
95.0 — 97.4	50 — 75	100.1 +	100.1 +
97.5 — 100.0	75 — 100
100.1 — 109.0	100 + 2X
	Accelerator
109.1 —	100 + 3X
	Accelerator

The revenue accelerators apply only to the achievement in excess of 100%, therefore a 101% revenue achievement equals a 102% revenue payout. The maximum bonus payout is capped at 200% of the total bonus pool. The sliding scale of target performance is used by the Compensation committee in determining bonuses to be paid to the executives; however the Compensation Committee has full and complete discretion in making its final bonus determinations for a portion (approximately 20%) of the bonus pool. As shown in the Summary Compensation Table, no executive bonuses were paid for 2007.

          Long-Term Incentives. We had regularly granted stock options to our executives since 1998 under the shareholder approved Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan. Beginning in 2004, a new program was adopted under the 2004 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan, which was also approved by shareholders, in response to emerging best practices in the competitive marketplace. This program, which in addition to incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options allows for grants of stock appreciation rights and phantom stock, restricted stock, and performance shares, replaced the traditional stock option program under the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan.

          The Compensation Committee approves grants under the 2004 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan that provide additional incentives and align the executives’ long-term interests with those of the shareholders of the Company by tying a portion of executive compensation to the long-term performance of the Company’s stock price. Annual equity grants for our executives are reviewed in February after the audit of full year financial results is substantially completed. This is the Company’s principal long-term incentive to executives.

          The Compensation Committee recommends equity to be granted to an executive with respect to restricted stock or performance-based restricted stock based on the principal following elements including, but not limited to:

• President and Chief Executive Officer’s recommendation;

• Relevant and validated external market data on executive compensation;

17

• Management role and contribution to the management team;

• Job responsibilities and past performance;

• Future anticipated contributions;

• Corporate performance; and

• Existing vested and unvested equity holdings.

          Determination of equity grant amounts is not made in accordance with a strict formula, but rather is based on objective data synthesized to competitive ranges and to internal policies and practices, including an overall review of both individual and corporate performance and the value of equity grants of comparable executives at comparable companies performed by outside executive compensation consultants hired by the Compensation Committee. Equity grants may also be made to new executives upon commencement of employment and, on occasion, to executives in connection with a significant change in job responsibility. We have not been granting stock options in recent years, but rather have been granting restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock. The Compensation Committee believes annual equity grants more closely align the long-term interests of executives with those of shareholders and assist in the retention of key executives.

          Retirement Benefits, Welfare Benefits, and Additional Benefit and Perquisites. We provide standard employee benefit programs to our executives, including a 401(k) plan and welfare plans such as medical, dental and life insurance benefits, which are generally available to all employees. We are very mindful of the total cost of benefits and the impact they have on all employees. Therefore, with only one exception related to a life insurance premium of approximately $1,600 per year paid by the Company for the CEO, executives do not receive any benefit or perquisite which is different than the rest of our eligible employees, nor do they receive any benefit at a lower cost than the rest of our eligible employees.

Tax Deductibility Considerations

          At this time, based on our current executive compensation structure, we do not believe it is necessary to adopt a policy with respect to qualifying executive compensation in excess of $1 million for deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, except with respect to the 2004 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan.

Compensation Committee

          The Compensation Committee has overall responsibility for our executive compensation policies as provided in a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, which is available on the Company’s website at www.interphase.com. The Compensation Committee is empowered to review and approve the annual compensation and compensation procedures for our seven executives: the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Vice President of Global Sales and Customer Support, the Vice President of Engineering, the Vice President of Strategic Marketing, the Vice President of Human Resources and Administration, and the Vice President of Operations and Fulfillment. The Compensation Committee does not delegate any of its functions to others in setting compensation.

          When establishing base salaries, cash bonuses and equity grants for each of the executives, the Compensation Committee considers the recommendations of the President and Chief Executive Officer, the executive’s role and contribution to the management team, responsibilities and performance during the past year and future anticipated contributions, corporate performance, and the amount of total compensation paid to executives in similar positions at comparable companies as provided by an independent compensation firm.

18

          The Compensation Committee generally sets the compensation of the executives at levels that are competitive with similarly situated technology companies. When setting the compensation of each of the executives, the Compensation Committee considers all of the factors set forth above, but does not assign any specific weighting or apply any formula to these factors. The Compensation Committee gives consideration to the recommendations of the President and Chief Executive Officer and may accept or adjust those recommendations. The Compensation Committee also makes the sole determination of the compensation of the President and Chief Executive Officer.

Summary Compensation Table

          A summary compensation table has been provided below and includes individual compensation information on the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and our four other most highly paid executive officers at the end of 2007, as well as one of our executive officers who retired prior to December 31, 2007, whose total compensation for 2007 exceeded $100,000, whom we refer to in this proxy statement as the named executive officers.

Pension Benefits and Non-Qualified Defined Contribution Plans

          None of our named executive officers participate in or have account balances in qualified or non-qualified defined benefit plans or non-qualified defined contribution plans sponsored by us. The Compensation Committee, which is comprised solely of “outside directors” as defined for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, may elect to adopt qualified or non-qualified defined benefit or non-qualified contribution plans if the Compensation Committee determines that doing so is in our best interests.

Summary of Termination and Change in Control Arrangements

          The following summaries set forth potential payments payable to our named executive officers upon termination of employment or a change in control of the Company under their current employment agreements, certain current stock option agreements and/or restricted stock agreements, and our other compensation programs. The descriptions set forth below are summaries of the terms of the respective

23

employment agreement or stock agreement and are qualified by reference to the provisions of such agreements.

     Gregory B. Kalush. Mr. Kalush’s employment agreement provides for the following termination and severance arrangements:

• Termination due to Non-Renewal of Employment Agreement or Termination Without Cause. The Company, or Mr. Kalush, can terminate the employment relationship by electing not to renew the employment agreement and giving the other party at least thirty (30) days written notice prior to the expiration of the then current term. If Mr. Kalush elects not to renew his employment agreement, it is treated as a resignation and handled as stated below under “Termination by the Executive (Resignation)”. If the Company elects not to renew Mr. Kalush’s employment agreement, or terminates Mr. Kalush without cause, then Mr. Kalush will be entitled exclusively to the following severance arrangements:

1.	Severance Payments. Mr. Kalush will be paid severance in the amount of three (3) years’ base salary, payable in semi-monthly installments at the current base salary rate at the time. Severance payments will be reduced by any compensation Mr. Kalush receives from other employment during the three (3) year severance period.
2.	Incentive Stock Option Conversion to Non-Qualified Stock Options with Extended Exercise Period. If Mr. Kalush has any vested but non-exercised and non-expired Incentive Stock Options at that time (specifically excluding any non-qualified stock options or stock options granted to Mr. Kalush as a director), then the Company will grant a fully-vested non-qualified stock option to Mr. Kalush for the same number of vested shares not exercised and at the same exercise price, with a three-year exercise period beginning on that date.
3.	Non-Qualified Stock Options Provided with an Extended Exercise Period. The exercise period of all non-qualified stock options which have been granted to Mr. Kalush (specifically excluding Mr. Kalush’s incentive stock options and stock options he may have received as a director), which are vested on the date of his termination will be extended three (3) years beginning on the date of Mr. Kalush’s termination.

• Termination by the Executive (Resignation): If Mr. Kalush resigns or elects not to renew his employment agreement, he is entitled to exercise vested stock options for a period of 90 days following his resignation as an employee of the Company. For vested stock options granted for his service as a director of the Company, Mr. Kalush is entitled to exercise vested stock options for a period of ten years from the grant date of such options in a manner consistent with other directors.

• Termination due to Death or Disability. In the event Mr. Kalush’s employment is terminated due to death or disability, Mr. Kalush will be entitled to the following:

1. Severance Payments. Mr. Kalush will be paid severance payments in the amount of two (2) years’ base salary, payable in semi-monthly installments at the current base salary rate at the time of Mr. Kalush’s death or disability.

24

2.	Bonus Payment. Mr. Kalush will receive payment of two (2) years’ of his annual bonus. The bonus amount will be the greater of the prior fiscal year’s executive bonus payment or 100% of Mr. Kalush’s bonus target for the year in which his employment terminates due to death or disability.
3.	Extended Exercise Period for Non-Qualified Stock Options and Conversion of Incentive Stock Options to Non-Qualified Stock Options.

• The exercise period of all non-qualified stock options which have been granted to Mr. Kalush (specifically excluding Mr. Kalush’s incentive stock options and stock options he may have received as a director), which are vested on the date of his death or disability will be extended three (3) years beginning on the date of Mr. Kalush’s death or disability.

• After Mr. Kalush’s death or disability, and termination of employment due to death or disability, if any of his incentive stock options (specifically excluding any non-qualified stock options or stock options granted to Mr. Kalush as a director), which are vested are not exercised prior to their termination, then the Company will grant a fully vested non-qualified stock option to Mr. Kalush or his estate for the same number of shares not exercised at the same exercise prices, with a three-year exercise period beginning on the date of Mr. Kalush’s death or disability.

          If Mr. Kalush’s employment terminates for any reason other than overt misconduct, he would be entitled to the following:

• Outplacement Services. Mr. Kalush will be entitled to reimbursement for outplacement consulting fees and expenses up to a maximum of 15% of his then current salary.

• Gross Up Payment. Mr. Kalush will be entitled to a gross up payment if he incurs any excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended on “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code as a result of the receipt of any payments under his agreement. He is entitled to receive a gross up payment such that the net amount retained by Mr. Kalush is equal to the amount of payments that Mr. Kalush is entitled to receive under his agreement.

          If a tender offer or change in control occurs, Mr. Kalush is entitled to receive the following:

• Acquisition of Shares by One Investor. If during the term of Mr. Kalush’s agreement one investor accumulates 20% or more of the outstanding common stock of the Company (referred to as an “Acquisition”), then in lieu of any other severance program provided for in Mr. Kalush’s agreement and summarized above, Mr. Kalush will receive immediately following the Acquisition the following:

• A payment in the amount of two (2) years’ base salary at the current base salary amount;

25

• An immediate payment equal to two (2) years’ of his annual bonus. The bonus amount will be the greater of the prior fiscal years’ bonus payment or 100% of Mr. Kalush’s bonus target for the year in which the Acquisition occurs;

• Upon the date of the Acquisition, the exercise period of Mr. Kalush’s non-qualified Stock Options that are vested at that time (specifically excluding Mr. Kalush’s incentive stock options and stock options he may have received as a director) will be extended for three (3) years, beginning on the date of Mr. Kalush’s termination; and

• If any of Mr. Kalush’s incentive stock options, including the options that fall within the definition of Mr. Kalush’s incentive stock options, which are vested are not exercised prior to their termination, then the Company will grant a fully-vested non-qualified stock option to Mr. Kalush for the same number of vested shares not exercised and at the same exercise price, with a three-year exercise period beginning on the date of Acquisition.

• If at any time during the term of one of Mr. Kalush’s Restricted Stock Agreements an Acquisition occurs, then, effective on the date of such Acquisition, all of Mr. Kalush’s unvested shares of restricted stock will be released from the forfeiture restrictions and fully vested.

• Tender or Exchange Offer.

• If any person or entity makes a tender offer or exchange offer for the common stock of the Company whereby such person or entity would own more than 20% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company (referred to as the “Tender Offer”), then immediately upon making the Tender Offer, all of Mr. Kalush’s unvested shares of restricted stock will be released from the forfeiture restrictions and fully vested.

• The unvested shares that are accelerated and released are referred to as “Accelerated Shares”. Any Accelerated Shares are subject to the following restrictions:

1.	the Accelerated Shares shall be tendered to the tender offeror pursuant to the Tender Offer;
2.	if the Tender Offer is not completed, then Mr. Kalush will transfer the Accelerated Shares back to the Company, the acceleration of the Accelerated Shares will be rescinded, Mr. Kalush will be placed in the same position with respect to the Accelerated Shares as he would have been had the Tender Offer never been made and the acceleration had never occurred; and
3.	any assignee or transferee of the Accelerated Shares by will or by law of descent and distribution or otherwise will be subject to the restrictions described in the agreement.

     Thomas N. Tipton, Jr. Mr. Tipton’s employment agreement provides for the following termination and severance arrangements:

• Termination Without Cause or Non-renewal. In the event the Company elects not to renew Mr. Tipton’s agreement, or if Mr. Tipton is terminated without cause, he shall receive an amount equal to six (6) months severance pay based on his base salary at the time of termination, payable in bi-monthly or bi-weekly installments, subject to reduction by any compensation Mr. Tipton receives from other employment during the severance period.

26

If at any time during the term of the Restricted Stock Agreement, one investor accumulates 20% or more of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, then, effective as of the date of such accumulation by that investor, all of Mr. Tipton’s unvested shares of restricted stock will be released from the forfeiture restrictions and fully vested.

     Randall E. McComas. Mr. McComas’ employment agreement provides for the following termination and severance arrangements:

Report of the Compensation Committee

March 27, 2008

To the Board of Directors of Interphase Corporation:

We have reviewed and discussed with management the Company’s Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

Based on this review and these discussions, we recommend to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in Interphase’s annual report on Form 10-K and proxy statement on Schedule 14A.

THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

Michael J. Myers, Chairman
Paul N. Hug
Christopher B. Strunk

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

          During 2007, the Compensation Committee was composed of Mr. Myers, Mr. Hug and Mr. Strunk. None of the Company’s executive officers served during the year ended December 31, 2007 as a director or member of the compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any other entity, whose executive officers served on our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

CERTAIN RELATED TRANSACTIONS

          During 2007, the Company was not a party to any transactions that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

          Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of the Common Stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and furnish the Company with a copy. Based solely on the Company’s review of the copies of such forms it has received, the Company believes that all of its officers, directors, and greater than ten percent shareholders complied with all filing requirements applicable to them during the reporting period ended December 31, 2007.

RELATIONSHIP WITH INDEPENDENT PUBLIC AUDITORS

          Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) served as the independent auditors of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. The Company’s Audit Committee pre-approves all services performed by the Company’s principal auditor. A representative of Grant Thornton is expected to be present at the annual meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement and will be available to answer appropriate shareholder questions. At its May 2008 meeting, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors will conduct its review of the independent auditors’ performance, independence, qualifications and quality controls and will make its formal decision as to the retention of the independent public auditors to audit the

31

Company’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2008, which is expected to be Grant Thornton.

Audit Fees

          During 2007 and 2006, the Company retained its principal auditor, Grant Thornton, to provide services in the following categories and amounts:

	2007		2006
Audit Fees	$	174,004	$	144,375
Audit-Related Fees		2,500		—
Tax Fees		76,934		19,873
All Other Fees		—		—
Total	$	253,438	$	164,248

          The Grant Thornton Audit Fees for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were for professional services rendered for the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company, including quarterly reviews.
