Director compensation

      In 2003, directors who were not officers or employees of EVCI, were paid fees of $2,000, and travel expenses, for attending in person each meeting of the board of directors and each audit committee meeting.

      In 2003, our 1998 incentive plan authorized the automatic grant of an option to purchase 7,500 shares of common stock to non-employee directors on the date on which he or she first became a non-employee director. On March 1, 2003, each non-employee director was also automatically granted an option to purchase 7,500 shares of common stock under the 1998 incentive plan.

      Options that are automatically granted under the 1998 incentive plan to non-employee directors vest in three annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant and have a term of ten years. The exercise price of options granted to non-employee directors is 100% of the fair market value per share of common stock on the date of grant. A non-employee director who has been granted stock or options by EVCI under a consulting or other arrangement is ineligible to receive any subsequent automatic grants unless the board determines otherwise.

Employment agreements

      Each of Dr. Buntzman, Dr. McGrath, and Mr. Goldenberg has an employment agreement with EVCI.

      The agreement with Dr. Buntzman expires December 31, 2006, and provides for his employment as Chairman of EVCI and Chairman and Chancellor of Interboro Institute. He is required to spend a minimum of three days per week performing his duties and his annual salary is currently $325,620. He is also required to coordinate his performance with EVCI’s Chief Executive Officer and to refrain from being employed by or managing any other business.

      The agreement with Dr. McGrath expires December 31, 2006, and provides for his employment as Chief Executive Officer and President of EVCI and Chief Executive Officer of Interboro. He is required to spend his full business time performing his duties and his annual salary is currently $259,000.

      The agreement with Mr. Goldenberg expires December 31, 2006, and provides for his employment as Chief Financial Officer of EVCI and Interboro. He is required to spend his full business time performing his duties and his annual salary is currently $189,000.

      Dr. Buntzman’s and Dr. McGrath’s agreements expressly permit salary increases and bonuses as the board determines. Each employment agreement entitles the officer to participate in the health, insurance, pension and other benefits, if any, generally provided to our employees. Dr. Buntzman’s agreement entitles him to additional life insurance equal to three times his annual salary. Each of the three employment agreements also provides that, until 18 months after the termination of employment with EVCI, the officer may not induce employees to leave the employ of EVCI or its subsidiaries and may not participate in any capacity in any business activities, within 75 miles of any college, school or office operated by EVCI or its subsidiaries, that compete with the business then being conducted by them. The current annual salaries of Dr. Buntzman, Dr. McGrath and Mr. Goldenberg reflect an increase, effective January 1, 2004, of 8% over their annual salaries in 2003.

7


     EVCI can terminate the employment of the officer upon permanent disability or for cause. If terminated upon death or permanent disability, a lump sum payment is due of 12 months’ salary, in the cases of Drs. Buntzman and McGrath, and three months’ salary, in the case of Mr. Goldenberg. In addition, benefits would continue for 12 months, in the case of Drs. Buntzman and McGrath, and six months in the case of Mr. Goldenberg.

      If the employment of Dr. Buntzman or Dr. McGrath is terminated by EVCI without cause or by such officer for good reason, EVCI must continue to pay such officer’s salary and continue his benefits for 36 months. If Mr. Goldenberg’s employment is terminated by EVCI without cause or by him for good reason, EVCI must continue to pay his salary for the unexpired portion of the employment term and continue his benefits for six months.

      Cause, good reason, permanent disability and benefits are defined terms in each employment agreement.

Change of control agreements

      EVCI has agreements in the same form with each of Dr. Buntzman, Dr. McGrath, and Mr. Goldenberg providing for payments to such officer, in the event his employment with EVCI is terminated after a change in control of EVCI during the term of the agreement. A change of control means any of the following:

      The agreement expires December 31, 2005, but is subject to automatic extension for successive one-year terms, unless otherwise terminated by either party. The agreement requires severance payments to the officer of 2.99 times the sum of his base salary and the highest annual bonus, if any, paid to such officer during the three previous years and the continuation of his health insurance benefits. These payments are required to be made in equal installments over a 36-month period and insurance benefits are required to be continued for 36 months. However, the total payments made to the officer pursuant to the agreement or otherwise as a result of the officer’s employment termination cannot exceed an amount that would make the payments non-deductible by EVCI under the Internal Revenue Code.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

     Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP, were the auditors of our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. The following table shows the audit fees we were billed by GGK for 2003 and 2002 and the fees we were billed in 2003 and 2002 by GGK for its other services.

  2003   2002
 
 
Audit fees $ 134,433          $ 128,330
Audit related fees   13,500     10,154
Tax fees   44,400     13,854
 
 
Total $ 192,333   $ 152,338
 
 

     Audit fees were for the audit of EVCI’s annual financial statements, review of financial statements included in EVCI’s 10-QSB quarterly reports, and services that are normally provided by independent auditors in connection with our other filings with the SEC. This category also includes advice on accounting matters that arose during, or as a result of, the audit or review of our interim financial statements.

     Audit related fees were for regulatory compliance audits for Interboro.

     GGK has a continuing relationship with American Express Tax and Business Services Inc. GGK leases auditing staff from AMEX TBS who are full time, permanent employees of AMEX TBS. GGK partners provide non-audit services through AMEX TBS. As a result of this arrangement, GGK has no full time employees and, therefore, none of the audit services performed for were provided by permanent full-time employees of GGK. GGK manages and supervises the audit and audit staff and is exclusively responsible for the opinion rendered in connection with its examination.

     Tax fees were for services provided by AMEX TBS in the preparation of corporate tax returns and for advice related to the utilization of EVCI’s net operating loss carryforward.

     As part of its duties, our audit committee pre-approves audit and non-audit services performed by our independent auditors in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the auditors’ independence. Our audit committee does not delegate to management its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by our independent auditors.
