−Removed: and other named executive officers of our Company (collectively, the “named executive officers”) for Fiscal 2021.
+Added: COMPENSATION PHILOSPOPHY
+Added: Compensation Committee believes that the Company must maintain short and long-term executive compensation plans that enable us to attract
+Added: and retain well-qualified executives.
+Added: Furthermore, we believe that our compensation plans must also provide a direct incentive for our
+Added: executives to create shareholder value.
+Added: A well-designed executive compensation plan will align the interests between the executives and
+Added: the shareholders as well as creating a positive environment of goals, performances and rewards.
+Added: believe that our executive compensation should reflect the success of the management team, rather than the individual, in attaining the
+Added: key operating objectives such as revenues growth, operation cost reduction, fund raising and the appreciation of the stock price.
+Added: measurement should be established to reward the performance.
+Added: We will also evaluate our executive compensation package by comparison to
+Added: similar companies to ensure the competitiveness of our compensation.
+Added: furtherance of this philosophy, the compensation of our executives generally consists of three components:
+Added: base salary, annual cash incentives
+Added: and long-term performance-based incentives.
+Added: base salaries for executive officers are initially determined by evaluating the responsibility of the position and the experience and
+Added: the skill sets of the individual.
+Added: Also taken into consideration is the competitiveness of the marketplace for executive talent, including
+Added: a comparison of base annual salaries with comparable positions within similar companies.
+Added: we award cash bonuses to our management employees and other employees, based on their personal performance in the past year and overall
+Added: performance of our Company.
+Added: The overall performance of our Company includes the revenue growth, reduction of the operation expenses,
+Added: fund raising and the stock price appreciation.
+Added: Term Compensation - Stock Option Grants
+Added: have utilized stock options to motivate and retain executive officers and other employees for the long-term.
+Added: We believe that stock options
+Added: closely align the interests of our executive officers and other employees with those of our stockholders and provide a major incentive
+Added: to building stockholder value.
+Added: Options are typically granted annually and are subject to vesting provisions to encourage officers and
+Added: employees to remain employed with the Company.
+Added: Our stock options are usually granted at a price equal to or above the fair market value
+Added: of our common stock on the date of grant.
+Added: As such, executive officers and employee only benefit from the grant of stock options if our
+Added: stock price appreciates.
+Added: Generally, we try to tie bonus payments to our financial performance.
+Added: However, if an individual has made significant
+Added: contributions to our Company, we will provide them with a bonus payment for their efforts even if our Company’s financial performance
+Added: has not been strong.
