.
 
1.
Timely Completion of Financial Reports:
 
 
a.
Upon the timely completion of each 10Q and 10K, including all XBRL and rule 404 filing requirements in accordance with SEC guidelines, you will receive a bonus of $250 per quarter, equal to $1,000 per year.

a.
Monthly Production Planning.  You will be responsible for overseeing preparation of work orders in accordance with a monthly production plan.  The plan will be coordinated with sales/customer service and a monthly meeting (at minimum) will be coordinated and held by you to communicate the production needs for the month.  Upon completion of three monthly meetings each month, you will be compensated an additional $250 per quarter or $1,000 per year.

4.
Inventory Control:
 
 
a.
Prepare a quarterly review of Inventory, including maintaining control over Inventory of serums and blood products which are currently not included in inventory for the most part.  This needs to be put under better control, (-70, -20 inventory, samples etc.) we need to assign value and ensure that the materials are not incurring shrinkage and prepare and maintain a schedule of Inventory cycle counts to be completed.  Upon the timely completion of this goal, which we will review, you will receive a bonus of $250 per quarter, or $1,000 per year.
