Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide a clear value for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This report focuses exclusively on executive compensation arrangements rather than financial performance results.
Material Changes
The primary material change reported is the execution of a new employment agreement with Danny Schoening, effective October 15, 2020. Key terms include:
- Term: October 15, 2020, through November 30, 2021.
- Base Salary: $284,645 per annum (unchanged).
- Performance Bonus: Target of 30% of base salary, tied to a rolling three-year operating plan. The Board retains discretion to adjust the bonus by up to 20%.
- Termination Provisions:
- For Cause/Death/Disability: Payment of accrued salary (and earned bonus in case of death/disability).
- Without Cause/Good Reason: Accrued salary plus six months' base salary as severance.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain financial guidance, outlook, or general risk factors. The only specific contingency noted relates to the employment agreement's "Good Reason" termination clause, which includes a change in control scenario (merger or sale of assets resulting in more than 66% ownership change) where the surviving entity fails to assume the agreement's obligations.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the full text of the Employment Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 for complete legal terms.
- Confirm the specific operating metrics and the three-year plan adopted by the Board that determine the performance bonus.
- Review subsequent filings to determine if the agreement was renewed or modified after the November 30, 2021, expiration date.
