Each named executive officer may receive anywhere from 0% to 150% of his or her target bonus level depending on the attainment of such objectives. A summary of the performance goal weightings for the Company’s named executive officers for Fiscal 2012 is as follows:

Named Executive Officer		Net Income				Working Capital				Personal Goals
