Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2006 was $3,168,000 which did not give effect to the unvested, and therefore unrecorded, contingent deferred bonus obligation of $1,617,000, before related income tax effects. The reduction in the unrecorded deferred balance in 2007 principally results from changes made in 2006 to the compensation plan for the Capital markets staff as more fully explained in note 7 to the 2006 consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company modified the compensation plan for institutional sales staff of the Capital Markets group. Commissions are now paid to the sales staff on a quarterly basis compared to annual payments which were in effect for 2006. The effect of this change lowered cash and commissions payable by approximately $462,000 at September 30, 2007 as compared to the balances that would have resulted from the plan that was in effect for 2006.
