The Potential Realizable Value is calculated based on the fair market value on the date of grant, which is equal to the exercise price of options granted in 2005, assuming that the stock appreciates in value from the date of grant until the end of the option term at the compounded annual rate specified (5% and 10%). Potential Realizable Value is net of the option exercise price. The assumed rates of appreciation are specified in rules of the SEC and do not represent the Company’s estimate or projection of future stock price. Actual gains, if any, resulting from stock option exercises and common stock holdings are dependent on the future performance of the common stock and overall stock market conditions, as well as the option holders’ continued employment through the exercise/vesting period. There can be no assurance that the amounts reflected in this table will be achieved.

Board Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors consists entirely of directors who have never served as officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Committee determines and administers the compensation of the Company’s executive officers. Set forth below are the principal factors underlying the Committee’s philosophy used in setting compensation.

Compensation Philosophy — At the direction of the Board of Directors, the Committee endeavors to ensure that the compensation programs for executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries are competitive and consistent in order to attract and retain key executives critical to the Company’s long-term success. The Committee believes that the Company’s overall financial performance should be an important factor in the total compensation of executive officers. At the executive officer level, the Committee has a policy that a significant proportion of potential total compensation should consist of variable, performance-based components, such as stock options, stock awards and bonuses, which can increase or decrease to reflect changes in corporate and individual performance. These incentive compensation programs are intended to reinforce management’s commitment to enhancement of profitability and stockholder value.

The Committee takes into account various qualitative and quantitative indicators of corporate and individual performance in determining the level and composition of compensation for the chief executive officer and other executive officers. The Committee considers such corporate performance measures as net sales, open orders, net income, earnings per share and similar quantitative measures. The Committee also appreciates the importance of achievements that may be difficult to quantify, and accordingly recognizes qualitative factors, such as successful supervision of major corporate projects, demonstrated leadership ability and contributions to industry and community development. For 2005, the most important qualitative factors in determining incentive compensation awards to executive officers were the Committee’s assessments of their contributions to the Company’s sales, acquisitions, increased revenues, and improved capital structure.

The Committee also evaluates the total compensation of the Company’s chief executive officer and other executive officers in light of information regarding the compensation practices and corporate financial performance of similar companies in the Company’s industry. However, the Committee does not target a specific percentile range within the peer group compensation structure in determining compensation for executive officers. From time to time, the Committee also receives assessments and advice regarding the Company’s compensation practices from independent compensation consultants.

Relationship of Performance to Compensation — Compensation that may be earned by the executive officers in any fiscal year consists of base salary, cash bonus and stock-based compensation. Salaries are reviewed periodically and adjusted as warranted to reflect sustained individual performance. The Committee focuses primarily on total annual compensation, including incentive awards and cash bonuses, rather than base salary alone, as the appropriate measure of executive officer performance and contribution.

The executive officers receive incentive compensation awards based on individual goals and milestones established for each officer at the beginning of each year and other factors as determined by the Committee. Such officers receive compensation for the subsequent attainment of these goals.

The Company’s various stock option plans authorize the Committee to make grants and awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, non-vested stock units and other stock-based awards. The Committee grants such compensation to executive officers, as well as other employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries below the executive officer level, as it deems appropriate.

In approving grants and awards under the stock option plans, the quantitative and qualitative factors and industry comparisons outlined above will be considered. The number and type of awards previously granted to and held by executive officers is reviewed but is not an important factor in determining the size of current grants.

To the extent readily determinable and as one of the factors in its consideration of compensation matters, the Committee considers the anticipated tax treatment to the Company and to the executives of various payments and benefits. Some types of compensation payments and their deductibility (e.g., the spread of exercise of non-qualified options) depend upon the timing of an executive’s vesting or exercise of previously granted rights. Further, interpretations of and changes in the tax laws and other factors beyond the Committee’s control also affect the deductibility of compensation.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation — Mr. O’Donnell entered into an employment agreement, effective September 1, 2004 for a five year term, renewable at the option of Mr. O’Donnell for an additional five year term. For 2005, his employment agreement provided for an annual salary of $250,000, related to various capital transactions, acquisitions, financings, integration of the business units acquired and revenue growth. The amounts of Mr. O’Donnell’s bonuses will be determined by the Compensation Committee based upon a combination of factors, weighted heavily toward operating results of the Company. Mr. O’Donnell did not receive a bonus for 2005.

The Compensation Committee has not yet considered 2006 compensation of executive officers, but will do so as it meets in 2006.

Deductibility of Compensation

Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), a public company generally will not be entitled to a deduction for non-performance-based compensation paid to certain executive officers to the extent such compensation exceeds $1.0 million. Special rules apply for “performance-based” compensation, including the approval of the performance goals by the stockholders of the Company.

The Company has not adopted any formal policy with respect to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. However, the Compensation Committee generally structures compensation to be deductible and considers cost and value to the Company in making compensation decisions, which would result in non-deductibility. The Board has on occasion made decisions resulting in non-deductible compensation.

The undersigned members of the Compensation Committee have submitted this report to the Board.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee of the Board is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of the Company’s accounting functions and internal controls. The Audit Committee is currently composed of two directors, each of whom meets the independence requirements of the SEC.

Management is responsible for the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and financial reporting process including its system of internal controls. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and expressing (i) an opinion on whether the Company’s financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and (ii) an opinion on whether management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes. The Board of Directors has determined that Pamela Jarratt, the Chairman of the Audit Committee, is an audit committee financial expert and is independent.

In connection with these responsibilities, the Audit Committee met with management and the independent registered public accounting firm to review and discuss the December 31, 2005 consolidated financial statements and obtained from management their representation that the Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees), which includes, among other items, information regarding the conduct of the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee also received written disclosures from Jewett Schwartz & Associates, LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Audit Committee discussed with Jewett Schwartz & Associates, LLP that firm’s independence from the Company and its management. The Audit Committee has further considered the compatibility of the services provided by Jewett Schwartz & Associates, LLP with that firm’s independence.

The Audit Committee operates under a written charter, which was adopted by the Board and is assessed annually for adequacy by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee held seven meetings during fiscal 2004, including meetings with the independent registered public accounting firm, both with and without management present. In performing its functions, the Audit Committee acts only in an oversight capacity. It is not the responsibility of the Audit Committee to determine that the Company’s financial statements are complete and accurate, are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or present fairly the results of operations of the Company for the periods presented or that the Company maintains appropriate internal controls. Nor is it the duty of the Audit Committee to determine that the audit of the Company’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) or that the Company’s registered public accounting firm is independent.

Based upon the Audit Committee’s review and discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

John Gore Transactions: On May 31, 2005, John H. Gore left all positions he held with and the Company and the Company settled all obligations of Mr. Gore personally, FCW Realty and Go Commercial Leasing, companies in which Mr. Gore owns and/ or controls through his wife Helen Gore. All obligations owed to Mr. Gore and related obligations owed by various entities controlled by Mr. Gore were considered settled. The Company recognized a gain on settlement of this obligation amounting to $434,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The settlement included a charge-off of $429,000 for a receivable owed to us by a related entity of Mr. Gore for salaries, rent, materials and reimbursement of leasehold improvements which arose because we paid these expenses on behalf of Mr. Gore’s company. This was offset by cancelling $485,000 of compensation we owed Mr. Gore in 2004 for his personal guarantees.

The settlement included the cancellation of 556,098 shares of common stock issued to a related entity of Mr. Gore valued at $684,000 in exchange for a $250,000 obligation due in installments over a 12 month period. The Company paid to the related party of Mr. Gore $62,500 on July 28, 2005 and on October 31, 2005. The balance was due in two equal installments of $62,500 on January 31, 2006 and April 30, 2006. The December 31, 2005 balance was $125,000 and is included in related party payables.

The settlement also included Mr. Gore’s entry into a non-compete agreement for a period of three years in return for 600,000 shares of common stock valued at $396,000 and payment of $55,000 . The cost of this agreement will be amortized over the term of the non-compete agreement. The unamortized portion of the non-compete agreement at December 31, 2005 is $377,000. In addition, Mr. Gore was issued 341,500 shares of restricted common stock for his personal guarantee of lease obligations to various financial institutions in 2005. The stock is valued at $150,000 and is being amortized over the remaining term of the lease obligation.

Lefebvre Transactions: Mr. Lefebvre owns a significant interest in an insurance brokerage company which provides exclusive services to CDS; specifically accident and occupational hazard insurance and the contract liability program for CDS. The total commission earned by his company from CDS premiums amounted to $690,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 and $195,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Executives Voluntary Conversions of Debt to Stock. During 2005, the Company issued 601,472 and 146,181 shares of common stock in exchange for the extinguishment of accrued liabilities owed to its Chief Executive Officer, Francis O’Donnell and its Chief Financial Officer, Susan Weisman for $322,413 and $72,038 of accrued wages and interest, respectively.
