NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
To Be Held on November 3, 2010

Dear Shareholder:

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE , that the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) of Anaren, Inc. (the “Company”) will be held on November 3, 2010, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time at the offices of Anaren Ceramics, Inc. located at 27 Northwestern Drive, Salem, New Hampshire 03079 for the following purposes:

	(1)	To elect three Directors to hold office for a term of three years and until their successors have been duly elected, and one Director to hold office for a term of one year and until his successor has been duly elected;

	(2)	To ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2011 fiscal year; and

	(3)	To transact such other business as may be presented at the Meeting.

We have elected to provide access to our Proxy materials primarily over the Internet under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “notice and access” rules. We believe that this process expedites shareholders’ receipt of Proxy materials, while lowering the costs of our annual meeting and conserving natural resources. On September 20, 2010, we mailed our shareholders a notice containing instructions on how to access the 2010 Proxy Statement, the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and vote on-line. The notice also included instructions on how you can receive a paper copy of your annual meeting materials. The proxy statement and the annual report are both available on line at http://investor.anaren.com/financials.cfm .

Shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 10, 2010 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Your vote is very important and we hope that you will attend the Meeting. However, whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, please vote by proxy as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions on your proxy card, or on your voting instruction form provided by your bank or broker. Because of a change in the NASDAQ rules, unlike previous annual meetings, your broker will NOT be able to vote your shares with respect to the election of directors if you have not given your broker specific instructions to do so.

There are three convenient ways for submitting your vote:

Voting by the Internet — You can vote via the Internet by visiting the website noted on your proxy card. Internet voting is available 24 hours a day. We encourage you to vote via the Internet, as it is the most cost-effective way to vote.
Voting by telephone — You can vote your shares by telephone by calling the toll-free telephone number indicated on your proxy card and following the voice prompt instructions. Telephone voting is available 24 hours a day.
Voting by mail — If you choose to vote by mail, simply mark your proxy card, date and sign it, and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided.

If you vote by telephone or Internet, you do not need to return your proxy card. Signing and returning the proxy card or submitting your proxy via Internet or by telephone does not affect your right to vote in person if you attend the Meeting and your shares are registered in your name. If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker, or other holder of record and your plan to vote in person at the Meeting, you must obtain a proxy card, executed in your favor, from the holder of record to be able to vote your shares at the meeting.


	By Order of the Board of Directors


	David M. Ferrara
	Secretary and General Counsel

Dated: September 20, 2010

ITEM ONE

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation and the By-Laws of the Company provide for a classified Board of Directors under which the Board is divided into three classes of directors, classes as nearly equal in number as possible, and a total board of not less than three or more than fifteen directors.

The first item to be acted on at the Meeting is the election of four Directors. Directors Patricia T. Civil, Matthew S. Robison and John L. Smucker will stand for re-election for terms of three years and until their respective successors shall have been duly elected and qualified. Director Louis J. DeSantis, who was elected by the Board of Directors in July, 2010, will stand for election for a term of one year, and if elected by the shareholders, will become a Class III Director. The nominees receiving a plurality of the votes represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting will be elected Directors.

It is intended that proxies solicited by the Board of Directors will, unless otherwise directed, be voted “FOR” the director nominees: Patricia T. Civil, Matthew S. Robison, John L. Smucker, and Louis J. DeSantis. In the event any nominee declines or is unable to serve, it is intended that the shares represented by such proxies will be voted for a successor nominee designated by the Board (or if no other person is so designated, for the remaining nominees). All nominees have indicated a willingness to serve, and the Board knows of no reason to believe that any nominee will decline or be unable to serve if elected. The Board Of Directors Unanimously Recommends The Election Of The Four Nominees.

The ten members of the Board who will continue in office after the Annual Meeting (including the nominees for re-election at the Meeting, if elected) are expected to continue to serve on the Board until their respective terms expire.

BOARD COMPOSITION, MEETINGS, COMMITTEES, AND COMPENSATION

Independence; Meeting Attendance

The Board currently consists of ten directors. Mr. Sala is Chairman of the Board and Dr. Wilemon is the Lead Independent Director. As Lead Director, Dr. Wilemon has the authority to call, schedule and chair executive sessions of the independent directors, which occurred four times in fiscal year 2010. After each executive session, Dr. Wilemon communicates with Mr. Sala to provide feedback and to effectuate the recommendations of the independent directors.

The Company’s Board of Directors is comprised of all independent Directors except for Messrs. Sala, Gerst and Roberts. Messrs. Sala and Gerst are employees of the Company. Since fiscal year 2007, Mr. Roberts was deemed by the Board not to be “independent” due to the amount of sales by the Company to SRCTec, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Syracuse Research Corporation (Mr. Roberts is the President and CEO of Syracuse Research Corporation). The Board has determined that Directors Patricia T. Civil, Louis J. DeSantis, Dale F. Eck, James G. Gould, Matthew S. Robison, John L. Smucker and Dr. David Wilemon (who collectively comprise 70% of the Board) are each “independent” as defined in the market place rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Under the rules of Nasdaq, to be considered independent, the Board must determine that a director does not have a direct or indirect material relationship with the Company.

The independent Directors and Mr. Roberts regularly meet in executive session at which management and employee Directors are not present. During the Company’s last fiscal year, the Board of Directors held five meetings with all Directors in attendance. Each Director also attended the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Related Party Transactions

The Board has adopted a policy concerning transactions with related persons. The policy requires the review, approval and monitoring of transactions involving the Company and our Directors, executive officers or their immediate family members to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest. These transactions, if any, are reported to and reviewed by the Secretary and General Counsel of the Company who provides a report to the full Board or independent members of the Board, as appropriate. Following this review, the Board determines whether any such transaction is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders by considering whether the terms are no less favorable than those available with unrelated third parties and the related person’s interest in the transaction. The Company will disclose the terms of related person transactions in its filings with the SEC to the extent required.

The Board has determined that because of the Company’s sales of components to SRCTec, Inc. in fiscal year 2010 were pursuant to a competitive bid process and the respective purchase orders are subject to the federal procurement regulations, the transactions do not constitute a “related party transaction” as defined in the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and, similarly, the transactions are in compliance with the Company’s policy regarding related party transactions.

David M. Ferrara, Secretary and General Counsel of the Company, is a member in the law firm of Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC, (“BS&K”) which has rendered and continues to render legal services to the Company. The legal services provided (and to be provided) to the Company are considered normal and customary in the ordinary course of business. Beginning in January, 2008, Mr. Ferrara became a part time employee of the Company. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company paid Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC $205,605 for services rendered by other BS&K attorneys and for related disbursements, in addition to paying Mr. Ferrara a base salary.

Corporate Governance Matters

Our Company’s business is operated by the guiding principles of honesty and integrity. Anaren’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (“Code of Conduct”), which has been in place since August 2002, and most recently amended in May 2010, and is available on the Company’s website (www.anaren.com), establishes ethical policies by which the Board of Directors, officers and every employee conducts the daily operation of the Company. Anaren’s Code of Conduct is reviewed with every Company employee to help ensure that all employees remain dedicated to Anaren’s founding principles of honesty and integrity. The Board’s Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee reviews corporate governance developments and recommends modifications to the Company’s Code of Conduct and various committee charters as appropriate. Consistent with this review, the Board adopted a Statement of Corporate Governance Guidelines and Principles (“Governance Guidelines”), which was revised in May, 2008 and provides an overview of the Company’s corporate governance philosophy and a summary of the Board’s responsibilities and duties regarding its oversight of the Company. The Company’s Governance Guidelines also identify the Company’s key policies, including the Code of Conduct. The Board also adopted a Disclosure Committee Charter to formalize the procedures of the Company’s Disclosure Committee that has been in place since the beginning of fiscal year 2005. The purpose of the Disclosure Committee is to help ensure that the Company’s public disclosures are materially accurate, timely and complete.

In a continuous effort to stay abreast of corporate governance developments, the Board encourages its members and the Company’s Secretary to attend various education programs. During fiscal 2010, Directors, Smucker and Sala, attended corporate governance programs.

Our Company has consistently maintained above average corporate governance ratings, as reflected by its current Corporate Governance Quotient (CQO). As of September 1, 2010, the Company outperformed 84% of the companies in the Russell 3000 and 80% of the companies in the Technology: Hardware & Equipment Group. Our Company is very proud of these ratings and is committed to continue to strive toward corporate governance excellence.

COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Introduction

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is principally responsible for establishing, monitoring and administering the Company’s compensation philosophy, policies and practices regarding its executive officers. A primary goal of the Company’s compensation philosophy is to adequately align the interests of the shareholders with management to ultimately drive shareholder value. The Compensation Committee strives to ensure that total compensation paid to executive officers and key management employees is competitive, reasonable, yet at the same time, capable of attracting, retaining and motivating the executive officers and key management employees to achieve long term shareholder value. The Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) section beginning on page 18 provides details regarding the Company’s executive compensation policy, the material elements of the total compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers under such policy, and an explanation of how the Company determines the amount paid under each element of compensation.

The disclosure tables following the CD&A set forth the various elements of compensation paid to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, principal financial officer and the three most highly compensated executive officers other than the chief executive officer and principal financial officer. These five individuals are referred to under the SEC’s disclosure rules, and throughout the CD&A, as the “Named Executive Officers (“Named Executives”).” The Named Executives for fiscal 2010 are Lawrence A. Sala, President and Chief Executive Officer, George A. Blanton, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Carl W. Gerst, Jr., Vice Chairman and Chief Technical Officer, Mark P. Burdick, Senior Vice President and General Manager and Timothy P. Ross, Senior Vice President of Business Development. The terms “executive officers” and “key management” relate to the Company’s approximately 100 management and key technical personnel, including the Named Executives, who currently participate in the Company’s equity based compensation program. The first table, the Summary Compensation Table, provides in comprehensive form, the total compensation earned by the Named Executives during the past three fiscal years. The tables that follow provide additional information about the elements of compensation presented in the Summary Compensation Table.

The Compensation Committee is currently composed of four members, all of whom are (i) deemed “independent directors,” as the term is defined in the marketplace rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, (ii) qualified as a “non-employee director,” as defined under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (iii) qualified as an “outside director” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to the terms of the Compensation Committee’s written charter, which has been approved by the Board and is reviewed annually to ensure that it properly reflects the Committee’s responsibilities, duties and philosophy, the Compensation Committee has the authority to set the level of executive compensation.

The Compensation Committee has regularly engaged First Niagara Benefits Consulting, a wholly owned subsidiary of First Niagara Financial Group (“First Niagara”), to collect and update compensation information from the Company’s peer group and published survey sources. The Committee also uses First Niagara to analyze the total compensation earned by the Company’s executive officers, apprize the Committee on current trends in the area of executive compensation and to make recommendations to strengthen the Company’s compensation policies to align the Named Executives’ pay to the Company’s performance, and to improve the competitiveness of the Company’s executive compensation. First Niagara is completely independent and performs no other services for the Company.

The Compensation Committee does not delegate its duties to any other person; however, it does work with management to structure the Named Executives’ performance goals. After extensive review and consideration, the Committee presents its recommendations to the Board for its review and approval.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis contains statements regarding future performance targets and goals for the Company’s executive officers. These targets and goals are disclosed in the limited context of the Company’s compensation program and should not be understood to be statements of management’s expectations or estimates of results or other guidance. The Company specifically cautions investors not to apply these statements to any other context.

Philosophy and Objectives of the Compensation Program

The Compensation Committee continues to strive to develop, refine and implement an executive compensation program that rewards executive officers when the Company achieves its financial and strategic goals. At the same time, the Committee feels strongly that the program must be fully transparent, straightforward and understandable by both employees and our shareholders. The Committee generally targets overall compensation for executive officers to the 50 ^th percentile of compensation paid to comparable executives based upon peer group and survey data. The ultimate objective of the Company’s compensation program is to motivate the Company’s executive officers to achieve financial goals that increase the shareholders’ long-term value, yet not promote unreasonable risk taking. We believe this compensation philosophy encourages our executive officers to make decisions geared toward the long term success of the Company. Accordingly, compensation paid to the executive officers is predominantly performance based, and has a significant equity component. Although individual performance is viewed as being important, overall Company performance goals must be achieved before any executive officer is eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus. More specifically, the Company must be profitable, regardless of achievement of other corporate goals, for any executive officer to receive a bonus. Although the Compensation Committee intends for executive compensation to be driven by performance, it recognizes that salaries must stay competitive with comparable technology-based, microwave electronics manufacturing companies in order to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified executives. It is this mix of interests that drives the compensation structure outlined below.

Role of Compensation Consultant

Comparisons to Peer Group. In fiscal 2010, the Company utilized compensation information from the Company’s peer group and from published surveys to help establish compensation targets for its executive officers. The Company’s peer group includes the following microwave electronics component and subsystem manufacturers: Kopin Corporation, KVH Industries, Inc., Herley Industries Inc., Argon St. Inc., Powerwave Technologies, EMS Technologies, Inc., Pericom Semiconductor Corporation, CPI International, Inc., Spectrum Control, and DSP Group. First Niagara assists the Compensation Committee in gathering information on its peer group as well as gathering survey information published by Towers Watson Data Services’; Mercer Human Resources, and Economic Research Institute. First Niagara provided no services to the company or its management other than services related to the Company’s executive compensation program. In fiscal 2010, the Company primarily relied upon these broad databases, and other publicly available information, to determine appropriate levels and types of compensation. The Company believes that its executive compensation practices are consistent with the compensation philosophy of providing competitive compensation with appropriate incentive and equity-based components, without promoting inappropriate risk taking.

The Company Strives for Fairness in the Administration of Compensation. The Company strives to ensure that the compensation levels of its executive officers and key members of management accurately reflect the level of responsibility that each individual has within the Company. At the outset of each fiscal year the Named Executives and all participants in the Company’s Bonus Plan are informed of individual and Company-wide objectives to help

align individual performance with the goals and objectives of the Company. Individual base salaries are predicated on a number of factors including, the individual’s performance, level of responsibility, contributions to the Company’s success, and market data for comparable positions.

Role of Executive Officers in the Compensation Process. In establishing, reviewing and assessing the appropriateness of compensation levels and adjustments in compensation levels for the executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers the recommendation of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Lawrence A. Sala. Mr. Sala reviews the performance and compensation of each executive officer and the Company’s financial results versus established goals for the fiscal year just completed. Mr. Sala then makes recommendations to the Committee for the upcoming year’s financial objectives, base salary adjustments, cash incentive bonus opportunities and equity-based compensation grants based on the executive officer’s performance and comparative analysis of similar positions in the peer group and published survey data. Mr. Sala also makes restricted stock grant recommendations to the Committee for key management and key technical employees. The Committee, however, exercises its complete discretion in approving or modifying any compensation recommendation for any executive officer. Mr. Sala does not make any recommendations regarding his own compensation, nor does he vote on any compensation matters considered by the Committee, but is viewed as an additional resource to discuss executive officer and key management performance and compensation.

Compensation of the Named Executives

The Company’s compensation program for all executive officers, including the Named Executives, is comprised of the following elements:

Base Salary
Non-Equity Annual Bonus Plan (“Bonus Plan”)
Equity Based Awards
Benefits

The compensation program for key management is built around the philosophy of targeting market-median compensation with incentive components that reflect positive, as well as negative, Company and individual performance. It is not the Company’s practice to compensate any Named Executive in excess of the limits contained in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 162(m) generally limits the amount of compensation paid to the Named Executives in any one fiscal year that may be deducted by the Company for federal income tax purposes, unless the compensation is performance-based and the material terms of the applicable plan are disclosed to and approved by the Company’s Shareholders. The deduction limitation is currently $1 million. The Company’s 2004 Comprehensive Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended, has received shareholder approval and, to the extent applicable, was prepared with the intention that the incentive compensation would qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m).

Base Salary

The Company uses the base salary element of total compensation to provide the foundation of a fair and competitive compensation opportunity for each Named Executive. Each year, the Company reviews base salaries, and targets base salary compensation at or near the median base salaries of the companies included in the Company’s peer group and survey data provided by First Niagara. Unlike the Bonus Plan, base salaries are not linked to the overall performance of the Company. However, other elements of total compensation are dependent on the determination of base salary, to the extent they are expressed as percentages of base salary (for example, the

cash incentive under the Bonus Plan is a percentage of the Named Executives’ base salary). Generally, the Compensation Committee starts the total compensation review for executives at its May committee meeting by reviewing compensation trends identified by First Niagara. Several elements are considered in setting base salaries, including (i) the size, scope and complexity of the executive officer’s responsibilities; (ii) the relationship of the executive officer’s pay to the base salaries of other senior officers and other management employees of the Company; (iii) the individual’s performance; (iv) economic and market conditions; and (v) whether the base salary levels are competitive and comparable to compensation paid to executives employed by the Company’s peer group and published survey data. The Committee also considers the historical performance of the Company and the contributions of each executive officer to those results when considering proposed adjustments to base salary. The salary levels for all Named Executives and key management employees are reviewed on an annual basis.

The Committee increased the base salaries of the Named Executives at its August 10, 2010 meeting for fiscal year 2011. Mr. Sala received a two percent increase based on the Committee’s review of his individual performance and base salary trends as reflected in the Company’s peer group and published survey data. Mr. Sala’s fiscal year 2011 base salary of $480,000 as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer is well supported by (i) competitive wage survey data, (ii) the Company’s peer group’s compensation of chief executive officers, and (iii) the Company’s strategic accomplishments and financial performance during the period Mr. Sala has served in this capacity.

The Compensation Committee also approved base salary increases for Messrs. Blanton, Burdick, and Ross of three percent, based on the Committee’s evaluation of the following factors: (i) competitive wage survey data, (ii) realization of a portion of the Company’s strategic accomplishments during fiscal year 2010, and (iii) individual performance. Messrs Blanton, Ross and Burdick received base salary increases for fiscal year 2011 of $7,000, $7,500 and $7,000 respectively, based on the Committee’s evaluation of the above noted factors. Mr. Gerst’s salary, pursuant to the terms of Amendment V of his employment agreement, remained unchanged. Please see the Summary Compensation Table presented in this Proxy Statement and the accompanying narrative disclosures for more information regarding the base salaries of the Named Executives for fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Non-Equity Annual Bonus Plan

In order to more closely align the compensation of Named Executives and other key employees to the Company’s performance, a non-equity annual bonus plan (“Bonus Plan”) is maintained in which approximately 10 percent of the Company’s employees participated in fiscal 2010. Bonus Plan award opportunities, expressed as a percentage of salary, are established for each participant. The Committee strives to set the respective Bonus Plan opportunities to be consistent with opportunities for comparable positions in the Company’s peer group and published survey data. The Bonus Plan is designed to provide a meaningful incentive to reward executive officers and other key management employees for their contribution toward the Company’s growth, profitability and cash flow for the fiscal year. Eligibility in the Bonus Plan is limited to key members of management and technical personnel who, because of their position, have the ability to impact the growth, profitability and overall success of the Company, as well as have the responsibility for succession planning and employee development. Bonus Plan opportunities for executive officers range from 20% to 100% of base salary. In the case of truly exceptional performance by an officer of the Company, the Committee in accordance with its charter, may exercise its discretion to recommend to the Board to increase a Bonus Plan payment by up to fifty percent.

Bonus Plan payments, when made, have historically totaled less than 10 percent of the annual operating income for the Company. There were approximately 100 participants in the 2010 Bonus Plan who were paid a total of approximately $1,630,000, of which $559,093 was paid to the executive officers of the Company. Total Bonus Plan payments for fiscal year 2010 represented approximately 9.0% of the Company’s operating income, including FAS 123R expense. The executive officers of the Company select the Bonus Plan participants on an annual basis.

Under the Bonus Plan in effect for the 2010 fiscal year, the Company’s achievement of specified performance criteria (the achievement of targeted annual net shipments, annual operating earnings, annual order bookings and annual operating cash flow goals outlined below for each Named Executive) entitled the Named Executives to receive a cash Bonus Plan payment. Each goal was equally weighted and was factored into the calculation to determine the Bonus Plan payment. Consistent with the Committee’s philosophy of aligning individual performance with enhancing shareholders value, executive officers, including Named Executives, were not eligible to receive any payments under the Bonus Plan if the Company was not profitable on an operating basis.

The specific Company financial goals and the results achieved in fiscal year 2010 for the Named Executives were as follows:


	Goal	Results Achieved	Percentage Achieved

Annual Net Shipments	$167-$184 Million	$168.8 Million	10.59%
Annual Operating Earnings	8.5%-15% of Net Sales	14.1% of Net Sales	86.15%
Annual Order Bookings	$170-$187 Million	$174.2 Million	24.71%
Annual Operating Cash Flow	$16-$28 Million	$28.1 Million	100.85%
Total Percentage Achieved			55.57%

The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer Bonus Plan opportunity for fiscal year 2010 was set by the Committee at 100% of his base salary. One hundred percent of Mr. Sala’s Bonus Plan opportunity was based upon the achievement of the Company financial goals identified above. As noted in the table, the actual fiscal 2010 results achieved were 55.57 percent of the Company’s financial goals. As a result, Mr. Sala’s Bonus Plan payment for fiscal 2010 was $261,181.

The Compensation Committee determined that the Company’s Senior Vice President of Finance, Chief Financial Officer & Treasurer, Mr. Blanton, Bonus Plan opportunity for fiscal year 2010 was 50% of his base salary. As with Mr. Sala’s bonus, Mr. Blanton’s Bonus Plan opportunity was based exclusively upon the achievement of the Company financial goals. Mr. Blanton’s Bonus Plan payment for fiscal 2010, based upon the results achieved, was $65,295.

The Company’s Senior Vice President of Business Development, Mr. Ross, had a Bonus Plan opportunity for fiscal year 2010 was 60% of his base salary. Similar to Messrs. Sala and Blanton, one hundred percent of Mr. Ross’ Bonus Plan payment was based upon the Company financial goals noted in the chart above. Mr. Ross’ Bonus Plan payment for fiscal 2010 was $80,021.

The Company’s Senior Vice President and General Manager, Mr. Burdick, Bonus Plan opportunity for fiscal year 2010 was set by the Committee at 60% of his base salary. Similar to all other Named Executives, one hundred percent of Mr. Burdick’s Bonus Plan opportunity was based upon the achievement of the Company financial goals as noted above. Mr. Burdick’s Bonus Plan payment for fiscal 2010 was $76,687.

The dollar amounts of each award paid to the Named Executives are set forth under the column entitled “Bonus” of the Summary Compensation Table. Mr. Gerst does not participate in the Company’s Bonus Plan.

Performance Metrics for Fiscal Year 2011

The Compensation Committee believes the changes to executive officer Bonus Plan metrics implemented for fiscal year 2008 and continued in 2009 and 2010 should be maintained. Bonus Plan payments for all executive officers for fiscal year 2011 will be based solely on the achievement of corporate financial performance objectives (“Corporate Goals”). In the case of general managers and certain other key management employees, Bonus Plan payments will be based on business unit performance to more closely align their Bonus Plan compensation with the success of their respective business unit. However, for officers, including the Named Executives, the Corporate Goals identified below will be solely used to determine any Bonus Plan payment. The Compensation Committee approved Corporate Goals for fiscal year 2011 with minimum and target thresholds as defined below:

2011 Corporate Goals


Performance Criteria	Target	Minimum
Annual Net Shipments:	$186 Million	$169 Million
Annual Operating Earnings:*	15% of Net Sales	12% of Net Sales
Annual Order Bookings:	$189 Million	$172 Million
Operating Cash Flow:	$29 Million	$21 Million

*	Excluding 123R expense and amortization of intangible assets and inventory step-up.

The Corporate Goals identified above were approved by the Committee because in its judgment, these four goals collectively represent the best measurement of the Company’s performance and therefore are most likely to contribute to long term shareholder value. Officers’ 2011 Bonus Plan payment will be based on the average percentage achieved of each of the four Corporate Goals. However, as in years past, no Bonus Plan payment will be made if the Company is not profitable on an operating basis, regardless of achievement of the remaining three goals. In addition, the Bonus Plan does not guarantee any minimum Bonus Plan payment to any participant and bonus opportunities are capped as explained in the Non-Equity Annual Bonus Plan description found on page 20.

Equity Based Compensation

The Committee believes that the interests of the Shareholders are best served when a significant percentage of executive officers’ compensation is comprised of equity based and other long-term incentives that appreciate in value contingent upon increases in the share price of the Company’s stock. The granting of equity based compensation aligns the interests of key management, including the Named Executives, with those of the Shareholders. Therefore, it is the Compensation Committee’s intention to make grants of equity based awards to the Named Executives and other key employees at such times and in such amounts as may be required to help accomplish the objectives of the Company’s compensation program. The Compensation Committee has historically granted equity based compensation in the form of stock options and restricted stock to help create the opportunity for increased equity ownership by executive officers, to recruit key individuals, and to utilize vesting requirements to encourage those individuals to continue in the employ of the Company. The Company also has, on occasion, issued limited amounts of restricted stock to individuals for extraordinary performance.

The Compensation Committee generally makes annual equity based awards one time each year at the Committee’s regularly scheduled August meeting. In fiscal 2009, equity awards were made in November pending the approval by the Shareholders of an amendment to the 2004 Comprehensive Long Term Incentive Plan. The Committee has never manipulated the timing of equity based awards to take advantage of non-public material

information. All equity based awards are pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Comprehensive Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended, which imposes certain restrictions. Recipients of restricted stock grants must enter into agreements with the Company which set forth the specific terms and conditions, including limitations applicable to the equity based awards. Equity awards are generally based on a percentage of salary, and various percentages have been established for different organizational levels within the Company.

Beginning in fiscal year 2008, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved, modifying the Company’s equity based awards to further strengthen the executive officers’ focus on achieving long term growth and profitability goals for the Company. Equity awards granted for fiscal year 2008 were exclusively in the form of restricted stock. The Compensation Committee, with the assistance of First Niagara, reviewed market and industry trends and determined that the Company would benefit from granting restricted stock and not incentive stock options, which simplifies the accounting for equity based awards and increases retention of key management employees. The Committee decided to exclusively grant restricted stock because of its belief that restricted stock grants are more equitable to both the recipients and the Company due primarily to the accounting treatment associated with stock options. When stock options expire at a time when the closing price of the Company’s stock is below the strike price of the option the recipient receives no value yet the Company incurred expense at the time of the grant. Equity awards for fiscal years 2008, 2009, and 2010 consisted solely of restricted stock.

The Committee believes that it is appropriate for the majority of equity based awards to Executive Officers continue to be contingent upon the long-term performance of the Company. Therefore, the Committee decided that 65% of the executive officers total equity grant opportunity (“Total Grant Opportunity”), be based on the Company’s achievement of specific long-term corporate financial objectives (“Corporate Performance Based Grant”) and the remaining 35% of the Total Grant Opportunity be based on the individual executive’s performance (“Individual Performance Based Grant”). First Niagara assisted the Compensation Committee in determining the Total Grant Opportunity for each executive officer based upon peer group and survey data. For fiscal 2010, Mr. Sala’s Total Grant Opportunity was 160% of his base salary; Mr. Ross’ was 100% and Messrs. Blanton’s, Burdick’s and Gerst’s Total Grant Opportunity was 90% of their respective base salaries.

For the Individual Performance Based Grant, if the executive performs as expected, he or she will receive the entire Individual Performance Based Grant in a restricted stock grant subject to a 36 month time vesting requirement. For Mr. Sala, the formula to calculate his Individual Performance Based Grant is as follows:

Base Salary x 1.6% x 35% which calculates to a fiscal 2010 grant value of $268,800.

For the Corporate Performance Based Grant, the Compensation Committee established three year compound annual revenue growth rate (“CAGR”) and cumulative operating cash flow (“COCF”) targets based on the Company’s strategic long term goals. Based on the relative attainment of these goals, the executive officers will receive a percentage of the Corporate Performance Based Grant in the form of a restricted stock grant subject to a 48 month time vesting requirement.

For the Corporate Performance Based Grant, the percentage of the award attained is based on the Company’s financial performance (CAGR and COCF) over a three year rolling period compared to established targets. The Committee, consistent with the Company’s strategic objectives, established CAGR and profitability targets of 15% each, which when applied to the base year (fiscal 2007), resulted in a goal for fiscal year 2010 of $196 million in sales, and $77 million of COCF for the three year period ending June 30, 2010. Actual results for fiscal year 2010 were $168.8 million in sales and a three year (2008, 2009 and 2010) COCF of $68.5 million. The Company achieved a 9.4% CAGR (63% of target) and 89% of the COCF target which as illustrated in the Chart below, resulted in a Performance Factor of 0.6. Therefore the Executive Officers, including the Named Executives, earned 60% of their total performance based equity opportunity.

Based on these results, which are depicted in the chart below, the Compensation Committee, at its August 10, 2010 meeting, approved restricted stock grants for Executive Officers, including the Named Executives, and for key members of management. These grants were subsequently approved by the Board of Directors at its August 11, 2010 meeting. For Mr. Sala, the formula to calculate his Corporate Performance Grant is as follows:

Base salary x 1.6% x 60% x 65% which calculates to a fiscal 2010 grant value of $299,520.

The formula to calculate the Corporate Performance Based Grant is the same for the other Named Executives except, as noted above, the Compensation Committee approved Total Grant Opportunities equal to 90% for Messrs. Burdick and Blanton and 100% for Mr. Ross of their respective base salaries. Mr. Gerst’s equity grant was issued in connection with his service as a director and therefore was not performance based. See Fiscal 2010 Director Compensation Table found on pages 14 – 15 and the applicable footnote for more information regarding the value of Mr. Gerst’s stock award.

Because of the Committee’s view that the changes to the methodology used for granting equity based awards implemented for fiscal 2008 and continued for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 were successful in further linking Executive Officer compensation to the Company’s growth and profitability, the same methodology and criteria was approved for fiscal year 2011. Based on FY’08 results (which serves as the base year for establishing FY 2011 performance targets), net sales and COCF targets for FY’11 are $200 million and $79 million, respectfully.

Please see the Summary Compensation Table and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table presented in this Proxy Statement and the accompanying narrative disclosure for more information regarding the number and value of the stock awards received by each of the Named Executives for fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Stock Ownership Guidelines For Officers and Senior Management

Consistent with the Committee’s belief that ownership of the Company’s Common Stock by executive officers aligns their interests with those of the Company’s Shareholders and enhances retention of executives by providing them an opportunity to accumulate a meaningful ownership interest in the Company, the Compensation Committee in 2004 recommended, and the Board approved, the following Stock Ownership Guidelines for Directors, officers and senior management of the Company.


Position	Multiple	Time to Attain
President & CEO	3X Base Salary	48 months
Other Officers and Senior Management	2X Base Salary	48 months
Outside Directors	8X Annual Board	48 months
	Retainer Fee

The Stock Ownership Guidelines contemplate attainment of the specified levels within the stated time period following adoption of the Guidelines or, if later, following commencement of an individual’s service with the Company in a manner subjecting him or her to the Guidelines. As of June 30, 2010, Mr. Sala and the greater majority of the Company’s officers, senior management and outside Directors have ownership interests sufficient to meet the Stock Ownership Guidelines.

Retirement and Other Benefits

All salaried employees participate in a variety of retirement, health and welfare, and paid time-off benefits designed to enable the Company to attract and retain a talented workforce in a competitive marketplace. Health and welfare and paid time-off benefits help ensure that the Company has a productive and focused workforce. The Company utilizes pension, 401(k) savings plan and a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (which participation is limited to executive officers) to enable employees to plan and save for retirement.

The Company’s tax-qualified 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) allows employees to contribute a percentage of their base salaries to the 401(k) Plan on a pre-tax and/or after-tax basis, subject to various limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Company provides a matching contribution, on a dollar for dollar basis, up to 5 % of the contributing participant’s salary.

The Company also provides retirement benefits through the Anaren Microwave, Inc. Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”). The Pension Plan is available to all Company employees hired on or before August 15, 2000. All of the Named Executives are participants in the Pension Plan, except Mr. Blanton who was hired in June, 2008.

All Company officers, including the Named Executives, participate in the non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”). The Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan was established in recognition of Internal Revenue Code limits on the amount of annual compensation that may be taken into account for Pension Plan and 401(k) Plan purposes, and in recognition of Internal Revenue Code limits on employee elective deferrals to the 401(k) Plan, as a percentage of their salaries. The Named Executives may

elect to defer cash awards payable under the Bonus Plan and base salary into the Deferred Compensation Plan described under the section entitled “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan” on page 35. The Company also makes contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan, equal to 5% of the participant’s base salary.

Perquisites. Although perquisites are not a key element of the Company’s compensation program, the Company’s Named Executives, along with certain other senior level executives, are provided a limited number of perquisites. The Company provides the following perquisites:

Each executive officer and key management employee, including the Named Executives, participate in group health, dental, life and other welfare benefits plans on the same terms and conditions that apply to other employees of the Company.
The Company reimburses Mr. Sala, pursuant to Mr. Sala’s employment agreement, premiums on life insurance and disability insurance policies owned by Mr. Sala. The amount of the reimbursement is identified in the Summary Compensation Table. The Company provides similar reimbursement to the Company’s Chief Technical Officer and Vice Chairman of the Board, pursuant to Mr. Gerst’s employment agreement.

Please see the Summary Compensation Table and accompanying narrative disclosures presented in this Proxy Statement for more information on perquisites and other personal benefits the Company provides to the Named Executives.

Employment Agreements. The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Messrs. Sala and Gerst. These individual agreements generally provide for severance or other benefits following the termination, retirement, death or disability of such Named Executives. On May 12, 2010, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved, Amendment V to Mr. Gerst’s original employment agreement, which extends the term of Mr. Gerst’s employment as a full time employee through June 30, 2011, and maintains his salary at $187,500. On December 30, 2008, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved Amendment III which provided for an agreed upon date for Mr. Gerst to receive severance payments owed to Mr. Gerst pursuant to his original employment agreement. Both Messrs. Sala’s and Gerst’s agreements also include change in control provisions, and are more fully described on pages 40-42. The Company has also entered into Change in Control Agreements with Messrs. Blanton, Burdick, Ross, Thygesen, Porcello, and Amy Tewksbury, Senior Vice President of Human Resources. Such change in control provisions are “triggered” upon a change of control and an involuntary termination or constructive termination of the Executive Officer within two years following a change in control. The Change in Control Agreements are more fully described on pages 38-40 of this Proxy Statement.

The Company currently has a succession plan to help assure a smooth transition with respect to any changes that may occur in senior management. In the event of such changes, the Compensation Committee will consider appropriate transition agreements with key officers of the Company consistent with the purposes of the succession plan. The terms and conditions of any such transition agreements will be recommended by management and approved by the Compensation Committee.

Conclusion

The Compensation Committee has reviewed all components of the Chief Executive Officer’s and the Named Executives’ compensation, including salary, non-equity bonus and long-term equity incentive compensation, the dollar value of all benefits as well as the Company’s obligations under its pension plans. Based on this review, and the information provided by First Niagara, the Compensation Committee believes the Chief Executive Officer’s and the Named Executives’ total compensation to be reasonable and appropriate.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the CD&A with management. Based upon its review and discussions with management, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the CD&A be included in this Proxy Statement.

(1)	Under the Company’s fiscal 2010 individual management incentive plan (collectively, the “Bonus Plan”), the Named Executives are entitled to an incentive bonus based upon corporate goals measured against pre-established targeted goals. The number reflected in this column is the actual amount paid to the Named Executives based upon the Company’s performance during fiscal year 2010. The maximum and target amounts of the Bonus opportunities in fiscal year 2010 are set forth in the Grants of Plan Based Awards Table on page 28.

(2)	The amounts in this column reflect the dollar amount recognized by the Company for financial statement reporting purposes for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, 2009, and 2008 (before reflecting forfeiture), in accordance with FAS 123R. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in footnote 11 to the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K. These amounts reflect the Company’s accounting expense for these awards and do not correspond to the actual value that may be recognized by its Named Executives.

(footnotes continued on the following page)

	used in the calculation of these amounts are included in footnote 11 to the Company’s audited financial statements for the respective fiscal years included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K. These amounts reflect the Company’s accounting expense for these option awards and do not correspond to the actual value that may be recognized by its Named Executives.

(4)	The amounts in this column reflect the aggregate change in the actuarial present value of the Named Executive’s accumulated benefit under the Anaren Microwave, Inc. Pension Plan and the change in the market value of assets contained in Anaren, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan. In fiscal year 2009, each named executive, other than Mr. Gerst, incurred a loss in their respective deferred compensation accounts greater than the positive change in their Pension Plan value and for this reason there is zero dollars recorded. Mr. Gerst’s change in Pension Plan value exceeded his loss and the difference is reflected in this column. No earnings are deemed above-market or preferential on compensation deferred under the Company’s non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan. All contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan are invested in investment options selected by the Named Executive from the same array of options offered to employee participants in the Company’s 401 K Plan.

(5)	All Other Compensation consists of contributions by the Company to the Company’s 401(k) Salary Savings Plan in the amount of $12,250 (FY 2010), $11,500 (FY 2009) $17,746 (FY 2008) for Mr. Sala, $12,250 (FY 2010), $10,750 (FY 2009), for Mr. Blanton, $9,274 (FY 2010), $11,500 (FY 2009), $8,913 for Mr. Gerst, and $12,250 (FY 2010), $11,000 (FY 2009), $9,985 (FY 2008) for Mr. Ross and $12,250 (FY 2010), $10,249 (FY 2009), $9,099 (FY 2008) for Mr. Burdick; contributions to a non-qualified deferred compensation plan covering the named executives in the amount of $23,500 (FY 2010), $22,000 (FY 2009) $20,000 (FY 2008) for Mr. Sala, $11,750 (FY 2010), $10,750 (FY 2009) for Mr. Blanton, $9,375 (FY 2010), $9,375 (FY 2009) for Mr. Gerst, $12,000 (FY 2010), $11,000 (FY 2009) $10,000 (FY 2008) for Mr. Ross, and $11,500 (FY 2010), $10,000 (FY 2009), $9,200 (FY 2008), for Mr. Burdick; premiums for additional disability insurance in the amount of $11,482 (FY 2010), $12,184 (FY 2009), $15,486 (FY 2008) for Mr. Sala, $4,760 (FY 2010), $4,815 (FY 2009) for Mr. Blanton, $5,844 (FY 2010), $6,431 (FY 2009), $5,525 (FY 2008) for Mr. Ross, and $5,925 (FY 2010), $6,255 (FY 2009), $4,299 (FY 2008) for Mr. Burdick, and reimbursement for premiums on life insurance policies owned by Mr. Sala in the amount of $14,166 (FY 2010), $13,238 (FY 2009) (FY 2008) and $23,800 (FY 2010), $23,110 (FY 2009) for Mr. Gerst.

Grants of Plan-Based Awards

We have provided the following Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table to provide additional information about stock awards granted to our Named Executives during the year ended June 30, 2010. All restricted share awards were made under the Anaren, Inc. 2004 Comprehensive Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended. The table also includes the threshold, target and maximum annual incentive awards the Named Executives could have earned for 2010. The table does not include restricted share awards granted under the 2004 Plan for fiscal year 2010 performance, described on pages 23 and 24, because those awards were granted in fiscal year 2011 in accordance with the Company’s normal granting schedule.

(1)	Under the non-equity Bonus Plan, each Named Executive has a “target” bonus opportunity in an amount equal to a specified percentage of his salary. In the case of truly exceptional performance by an officer, the Compensation Committee may exercise its discretion to recommend to the Board to increase a bonus payment to that officer by up to fifty percent. The Compensation Committee did not recommend any additional bonus payments for fiscal year 2010. See pages 20-22 for a detailed discussion of the Bonus Plan payments granted to each of the Named Executives.

(2)	Sixty-five percent of the restricted stock granted to the Named Executives on November 5, 2009, based on fiscal year 2009 performance, is subject to forfeiture until the fourth anniversary of the date of grant, and the remaining thirty-five percent until the third anniversary of the date of grant. Equity grants to the Named Executives, based on fiscal year 2010 performance, totaled 33,909 restricted shares for Mr. Sala; 9,900 for Mr. Blanton; 11,250 for Mr. Ross; 9,696 for Mr. Burdick and 8,857 for Mr. Thygesen, and are subject to the same forfeiture periods (65% - four years, 35% - three years) as applicable to the fiscal year 2009 grants.

(3)	During the applicable vesting period, the Named Executive has all of the rights of a Shareholder including the right to vote such shares at any meeting of the Shareholders and the right to receive all dividends. Nonvested shares may not be sold, exchanged or otherwise transferred.

(4)	As described in more detail in the CD&A, Non-Equity Annual Bonus Plan Section found at pages 20-22, the Named Executives have been paid their respective bonus payments for the fiscal year 2010 and are not entitled to any future payouts. The specific amounts are listed under the “Bonus” column in the Summary Compensation Table found on page 28.

Retirement Plan Benefits

Pension Plan

The Company maintains a non-contributory Pension Plan for the benefit of all employees over the age of 21 who have completed one year of service and were hired on or before August 15, 2000. Effective August 15, 2000, the Company amended the Pension Plan, and as a result, employees hired or rehired by the Company after August 15, 2000 are not eligible to participate in or to accrue benefits under the Pension Plan. The Company pays all amounts required to provide retirement income benefits. The Pension Plan provides fixed benefits to be paid upon retirement at a specific age. Pension expense, including amortization of prior service cost over 30 years, was $613,000 for fiscal 2010.

The table below shows the present value of accumulated benefits payable to Named Executives, including the number of years of service credited to each such Named Executive under the Pension Plan, determined using interest rate and mortality rate assumptions consistent with those used in the Company’s audited financial statements for fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Employees who have attained at least twelve years of service and are at least 55 years of age can retire and receive a proportionately reduced benefit.

Under the Internal Revenue Code, the maximum annual benefit payable at age 65 is $195,000 for 2010. The maximum compensation that could be considered for all participants, including Messrs. Sala, Gerst, Burdick, and Ross, is $245,000 for 2010. These benefit and compensation limits are indexed to increases in the Consumer Price Index.

The credited years of service as of June 30, 2010 under the Pension Plan for each of Messrs. Sala, Gerst, Burdick, and Ross, are 26, 43, 30, 28, respectively.

Potential Payment on Termination or Change of Control

The Company has entered into agreements that provide severance benefits to the Named Executives upon termination of their employment under certain circumstances. The following tables describe the potential payments and benefits to which the Named Executives would be entitled upon termination of employment pursuant to the respective Employment Agreement or Change of Control Agreement assuming a June 30, 2010 termination date under such agreement.

The amounts shown in the tables below do not include payments and benefits to the extent they are provided on a nondiscriminatory basis to salaried employees generally upon termination of employment. These include:

Accrued salary and vacation pay;
Regular pension benefits under the Company’s Pension Plan; and
Distribution of plan balances under the Company’s 401(k) Plan.

Under the terms of Mr. Sala’s Employment Agreement, he is entitled to post-termination payments in the event that he is no longer employed by the Company because of non-renewal of his Employment Agreement at the expiration of its term, involuntary termination without cause, voluntary termination with good reason, change of control, death, or disability. The triggers for post-termination payments by the Company or its successor under Mr. Sala’s Employment Agreement are set forth in the description of the Employment Agreement on pages 32-35.

(1)	Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, upon non-renewal of Mr. Sala’s Employment Agreement at the end of its term, Mr. Sala would be entitled to severance pay equal to three times his base salary at the time of termination plus fifty percent of the amount of the base salary calculation. Payments required pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid in three substantially equal installments, with the first installment paid 180 days following the date Mr. Sala’s employment ends, and with the second and third installments paid on the last business day of the ninth and twelfth calendar month, respectively, following the date Mr. Sala’s employment ends. For the period during which the amount set forth in this column is paid, Mr. Sala shall be eligible to continue to participate in the Company’s medical, dental, disability (short term and long term) and group term and whole life insurance plans, but not in any other fringe benefit plan, as if Mr. Sala was an active, full time employee. Mr. Sala’s right to COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s group health benefit plans shall commence on the first day of the month following the date of the last payment made to Mr. Sala upon end of the term, provided he pays 100% of the applicable premiums.

(2)	In the event the Company terminates Mr. Sala for reasons other than cause (as such term in defined the Employment Agreement) the compensation set forth in this column shall be paid in a single sum 180 days following termination. For

(footnotes continued on the following page)

	the period during which the amount set forth in this column is paid, Mr. Sala shall be eligible to continue to participate in the Company’s various insurance benefit plans as described in footnote 1 above medical, dental, disability (short term and long term) and group term and whole life insurance plans, but not in any other fringe benefit plan, as if Mr. Sala was an active, full time employee. Mr. Sala’s right to COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s group health benefit plans shall commence on the first day of the month following the date of the last payment made to Mr. Sala upon end of the term provided he pays 100% of the applicable premiums.

(3)	In the event Mr. Sala voluntarily terminates his employment for good reason (as the term is defined in the Employment Agreement), the compensation set forth in this column shall be paid in a single sum 180 days following termination. For the period during which the amount set forth in this column is paid, Mr. Sala shall be eligible to continue to participate in the Company’s medical, dental, disability (short term and long term) and group term and whole life insurance plans, but not in any other fringe benefit plan, as if Mr. Sala was an active, full time employee. Mr. Sala’s right to COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s group health benefit plans shall commence on the first day of the month following the date of the last payment made to Mr. Sala upon end of the term.

(4)	In the event Mr. Sala’s employment is terminated within two years after a “change of control” (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement), Mr. Sala shall receive the payments set forth in this column. If any portion of the amounts paid to, or value received by Mr. Sala following a “change of control” constitutes an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 280G, then the parties shall negotiate a restructuring of payment dates and/or methods (but not payment amounts) to minimize or eliminate the application of Section 280G. If an agreement to restructure payments cannot be reached within 60 days of the date the first payment is due, then payment shall be made without restructuring. In that case, Mr. Sala shall be responsible for all taxes and penalties payable by him as a result of his receipt of an “excess parachute payment”.

(5)	The Company shall offer to retain Mr. Sala’s services, on an independent contractor basis, as a consultant to the Company for a period of 12 months at an annual consulting fee rate equal to his base salary in effect at the time of termination. Furthermore, the Company shall provide Mr. Sala with fringe benefits, or the cash equivalent of such benefits, identical to those currently provided for the period during which Mr. Sala is retained as a consultant.

(6)	Mr. Sala is entitled to receive $15,000 to retain professional outplacement services through a company of Mr. Sala’s choice.

(7)	The amount set forth in this row assumes that Mr. Sala was paid the 2010 Management Incentive Payment as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table.

(8)	To the extent the fringe benefits provided during the consulting period are deemed taxable benefits, the Company shall reimburse Mr. Sala for taxes owed by him on such benefits and tax reimbursement.

(9)	During the Disability Period, Mr. Sala shall be entitled to 100% of his base salary pursuant to the Company’s short term disability policy (and supplemented, if necessary, by Mr. Sala’s accrued but unused sick leave), reduced by any other benefits to which Mr. Sala may be entitled for the disability period on account of such disability, including, but not limited to, benefits provided under New York’s Workers’ Compensation law.

(10)	Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, the Company shall treat as immediately exercisable each unexpired stock option held by Mr. Sala that is not exercisable or that has not been fully exercised, so as to permit Mr. Sala (or his beneficiary) to purchase any portion or all of the Common Stock not yet purchased pursuant to each such option until the tenth anniversary of the date the option was granted. The value (based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on June 30, 2010 minus the option exercise price) of unvested outstanding stock options that would have been vested upon a change of control of the Company.

(11)	The Company shall also waive all restrictions on any stock granted to Mr. Sala so as to permit Mr. Sala to dispose of any restricted stock previously granted to him. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control the amount indicated represents the value (based on the closing price of $14.94 for the Company’s Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market on June 30, 2010).

In addition to the amounts set forth in the chart above, in the event of an involuntary termination without cause, voluntary termination with good reason, or a change of control, Mr. Sala is entitled to receive the difference between the total purchase price (plus capital improvements) paid by Mr. Sala for his home in the Syracuse area and the proceeds of the sale of such home following the termination of his employment if Mr. Sala elects to move outside of the metropolitan Syracuse area in order to find new employment. In order to receive any payment, Mr. Sala must establish to the satisfaction of the Board that he is unable despite reasonable efforts to sell the home

within one year from the date of termination for a sum equal or greater to the purchase price (plus capital improvements) or, in lieu thereof, the Company may purchase the home for a sum equal to the price Mr. Sala paid for it (plus capital improvements). It is not possible at this time for the Company to determine the cost associated with this relocation expense.

Except as required in the course of his employment, Mr. Sala’s Employment Agreement prohibits Mr. Sala, either during or after his employment, from disclosing or using in any way, without the Company’s prior written consent, any confidential business or technical information or trade secrets acquired in the course of Mr. Sala’s employment by the Company. Mr. Sala’s Employment Agreement also contains a covenant not to compete that prohibits Mr. Sala from, either directly or indirectly, owning, managing, operating, controlling or participating in the ownership, management, operation or control of or be connected as an officer, employee, partner, director, individual proprietor, lender, consultant or otherwise, or have any financial interest in, or aid or assist anyone else in the conduct of any entity or business which principal business directly competes with the Company or any of its affiliates for a 36 month period following the termination of his employment. Mr. Sala’s ownership of not more than 5% of the voting stock of any publicly held corporation shall not constitute a violation of the covenant not to compete. Upon a breach of the covenants described in this paragraph, the Company may offset and/or recover from Mr. Sala immediately any and all of the post-termination compensation paid to him, in addition to any and all other remedies available to the Company under law or in equity.

Change in Control Agreements with Mark P. Burdick, Timothy P. Ross, Gert R. Thygesen, George A. Blanton, and Amy Tewksbury. The Company has change of control agreements dated June 22, 2007 with Messrs. Burdick, Ross, and Thygesen and Amy Tewksbury, which replaced their individual change of control agreements which expired on June 30, 2006. The Company also entered into a Change of Control Agreement dated September 22, 2008 with George Blanton the Company’s CFO. The agreements provide that in the event the employee’s employment with the Company ceases for reasons other than voluntary resignation or for “cause” (as such term is defined in the agreement) within one year following a “change of control”, (as the term is defined in the Agreement), the Company must pay the employee a severance benefit equal to 200% of his or her base annual salary if the employee has 20 or more years of service with the Company or a severance benefit equal to 100% of his or her base salary if the employee has less than 20 years of service, plus the incentive bonus paid to the employee in the two years prior to the change of control. Payments under the respective Change of Control Agreements shall be made in substantially equal installments over a 24 month period and commence with the Company’s first regular payroll following such executive’s termination of employment, unless such executive is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code), in which case payments shall not commence until the first day of the first month that begins 180 days after the executive’s termination of employment. If the executive dies prior to receiving all of the payments due under the Change of Control Agreement, then any unpaid amounts will be paid to such Named Executive’s designated beneficiary. Also, if the executive becomes re-employed at any time during the first 12 month period, in which severance payments are made, the Company shall have no further obligation after the 12 month period has expired. If the executive becomes employed after the 12 month period, but before expiration of the 24 month period, all severance payments and insurance benefits will cease upon commencement of the executives new employment. In addition, the Company must treat as immediately exercisable and disposable, respectively, all unexpired stock options and shares of restricted stock previously granted to the employee by the Company, and must permit the employee to continue to participate in applicable Company benefit plans for the period during which he or she is receiving severance payments.

(1)	The amounts set forth in this column reflect 200% of the executive’s base salary (provided the executive has 20 or more years of service and 100% if less than 20 years of service) plus an amount equal to the sum of the previous two years’ management incentive bonus payments earned by the executive.

(2)	Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, the Company shall treat as immediately exercisable each unexpired stock option held by the executive that is not exercisable or that has not been fully exercised, so as to permit the executive to purchase any portion or all of the Common Stock not yet purchased pursuant to each such option until the tenth anniversary of the date the option was granted. The amount indicated represents the net value (i.e., the excess of the fair market value of the stock minus the exercise price of an option) of all unvested options as of June 30, 2010 (based on the closing price of $14.94 for the Company’s Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market on June 30, 2010). The Company shall also waive all restrictions on any stock granted to him so as to permit the executive to dispose of any restricted stock previously granted to him.

(3)	In the event the executive’s employment is terminated within one year after a change of control (as such term is defined in the Change of Control Agreement), the executive shall receive the payments set forth above. If any portion of the amounts paid to, or value received by the executive following a “change of control” constitutes an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 280G, then the parties shall negotiate a restructuring of payment dates and/or methods (but not payment amounts) to minimize or eliminate the application of Section 280G. If an agreement to restructure payments cannot be reached within 60 days of the date the first payment is due, then payment shall be made without restructuring. In that case, the executive shall be responsible for all taxes and penalties payable by him as a result of his receipt of an “excess parachute payment.”

Except as required in the course of an executive officer’s employment, the Change of Control Agreement prohibits each executive, either during or after his employment, from disclosing or using in any way, without the Company’s prior written consent, any confidential business or technical information or trade secrets acquired in the course of such executive’s employment by the Company. The agreements also contain a covenant not to compete that prohibits each executive from, either directly or indirectly, owning, managing, operating, controlling or participating in the ownership, management, operation or control of or be connected as an officer, employee, partner, director, individual proprietor, lender, consultant or otherwise, or have any financial interest in, or aid or assist anyone else in the conduct of any entity or business which principal business directly competes with the Company or any of its affiliates for a 24 month period following the termination of his employment. The executive’s ownership of not more than 5% of the voting stock of any publicly held corporation will not constitute a violation of the covenant not to compete. Upon a breach of the covenants described in this paragraph, the

Company may offset and/or recover from such executive immediately any and all of the post-termination compensation paid to him, in addition to any and all other remedies available to the Company under law or in equity.

Certain Agreements with Directors and Executive Officers

Employment Agreement with Lawrence A. Sala. Effective July 1, 2006, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Sala. The agreement, which replaced Mr. Sala’s prior agreement dated July 1, 2001, provides for Mr. Sala’s continued employment as President and Chief Executive Officer through June 30, 2011 or such earlier date as may result pursuant to the terms of the agreement. The agreement provides for a base annual salary of $350,000 or such greater amount as the Board of Directors may determine, plus annual incentive bonus opportunity pursuant to the Incentive Plan and participation in certain insurance plans.

The agreement terminates automatically in the event of Mr. Sala’s death and the Company may terminate the agreement upon Mr. Sala’s disability or for specified cause as defined in the agreement. In the event the agreement is terminated due to Mr. Sala’s death, the Company will continue payment of his base salary to a designated beneficiary for a period of 26 weeks, and if termination is due to death or disability the Company must treat as immediately exercisable and disposable, respectively, all unexpired stock options and shares of restricted stock previously granted to him by the Company. In the event Mr. Sala’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company for reasons other than for cause, death or disability, or by Mr. Sala for “good reason” (as defined in the agreement), the Company will be obligated to pay severance to Mr. Sala in an amount equal to three years’ base salary at such date, plus fifty percent of the amount of severance pay in lieu of incentive bonus payments. The Company must also defray certain costs associated with obtaining new employment and relocation in connection with such termination.

In addition, if the termination occurs as a result of a “change of control,” the Company must pay severance to Mr. Sala in an amount equal to three years’ base salary at such date, plus fifty percent of the amount of severance pay in lieu of incentive bonus payments and offer to retain Mr. Sala as an independent contractor consultant for a period of 12 months at an annual consulting fee equivalent to his base salary as in effect on the date of termination, with fringe benefits during the 12 month consulting period, and must treat as immediately exercisable and disposable all unexpired stock options and shares of restricted stock previously granted to him by the Company. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, a “change of control” shall be deemed to have occurred if:

	(i)	any “person” including a “group” as determined in accordance with Section 13D(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is or becomes a beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities;

In the event that Mr. Sala’s employment continues for the entire term of the agreement and the Company and Mr. Sala are unable to negotiate a new employment agreement, the Company will be obligated to pay severance to Mr. Sala in an amount equal to three years’ base salary at such date, plus fifty percent of the amount of severance pay in lieu of incentive bonuses, and permit Mr. Sala to continue to participate in the Company’s various insurance benefits plans, as if he remained an active employee of the Company.

Employment Agreement with Carl W. Gerst, Jr. The Company had previously entered into an employment agreement dated February 14, 2004 with Carl W. Gerst, Jr., Chief Technical Officer and Vice Chairman of the Board of the Company, providing for Mr. Gerst employment through June 30, 2007. On May 16, 2007, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors approved an Amendment to Mr. Gerst’s agreement which continued the agreement, as originally written, through and including June 30, 2008. On May 14, 2008, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved Amendment II to Mr. Gerst’s original Employment Agreement, which extended the term of Mr. Gerst’s employment as a full time employee through June 30, 2009, reduced his salary to $187,500 commensurate with a 25% reduction in work hours, permitted Mr. Gerst to receive severance payments in fiscal year 2009 provided in his original Employment Agreement, and eliminated the Company’s prior obligation under Amendment I to make up any lost life insurance benefits in the event Mr. Gerst deceased during the term of the Amendment. On December 30, 2008, the Board approved Amendment III of Mr. Gerst’s Employment Agreement for the purpose of establishing a date for the Company to pay Mr. Gerst severance payments owed to Mr. Gerst pursuant to his original employment agreement and complying with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Amendment generally affected the timing, but not the amount of compensation and benefits that may be received by Mr. Gerst pursuant to the Employment Agreement, and additionally implemented other related technical changes. In January, 2009, pursuant to Amendment III, the Company paid Mr. Gerst all severance payments owed totaling $683,794. On May 13, 2009, Amendment IV of Mr. Gerst’s employment agreement was approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board to extend the term of Mr. Gerst’s employment as a full time employee through June 30, 2010. On May 13, 2010 the Compensation Committee and the Board approved Amendment V which provides for Mr. Gerst’s continued employment as a full time employee through June 30, 2011. All other terms of the original employment agreement that were in effect at the time of the amendment remained unchanged.

The agreement terminates automatically in the event of Mr. Gerst’s death and the Company may terminate the agreement upon Mr. Gerst’s disability or for specified cause as defined in the agreement. In the event the agreement is terminated due to Mr. Gerst’s death, the Company will continue payment of his base salary to a designated beneficiary for a period of 90 days, and if termination is due to death or disability; the Company must treat as immediately exercisable and disposable, respectively, all unexpired stock options and shares of restricted stock previously granted to him by the Company. In the event Mr. Gerst’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company, (other than for cause), due to death or disability, by Mr. Gerst for “good reason” (as defined in the agreement), or due to a “change of control” (as defined above), the Company must treat as immediately exercisable all unexpired stock options previously granted to him by the Company. The value of Mr. Gerst’s unexpired stock options if accumulated due to a change of control as of June 30, 2010 is $3,204. Mr. Gerst would also be eligible, upon a change of control, to receive non qualified deferred compensation in the amount of $214,8324.

The Company has entered into Change Of Control agreements with Messrs. Blanton, Burdick, Ross, Porcello, Thygesen and Amy Tewksbury which are described in detail on page 38.

ITEM TWO

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, was retained by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors to perform the annual examination of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Audit Committee also retained Deloitte & Touche LLP to advise the Company in connection with various other matters as described below.

The Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte to serve as the Company’s independent registered public account firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, subject to ratification of the appointment by the Shareholders. Although Shareholder ratification is not required, the Board of Directors has determined that it would be desirable to request an expression from the Shareholders as to whether or not they concur in this appointment. Deloitte was initially engaged to be the Company’s principal independent registered public accounting firm after completion of a request for proposal process in December 2008. Management considers Deloitte, to be well qualified to act in this capacity and therefore recommends that Shareholders vote in favor of ratification. It is anticipated that a representative of Deloitte will be present at the Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement and to answer questions of Shareholders.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed to the Company by KPMG LLP and Deloitte & Touche, LLP for professional services rendered for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010:


	2009	2010

Audit Fees ⁽¹⁾	$457,582	$559,000
Audit-Related Fees	$ 0	$ 0
Tax Fees	$ 0	$ 0
All Other Fees ⁽²⁾	$ 26,000	$ 20,000

(1)	For 2009 and 2010, includes fees attributable to both KPMG LLP, and Deloitte & Touche, LLP.

(2)	Includes fees incurred in connection with the filing of the Company’s Form S-8 Registration Statement on March 31, 2010.

All services provided, or to be provided, by the Company’s independent public accountants are subject to a pre-approval requirement of the Audit Committee. In accordance with the Company’s Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee (or Audit Committee Chairperson as provided in the Charter) pre-approved all fees paid to the Company’s auditors for fiscal years 2009 and 2010.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices of the Company, in addition to legal and regulatory compliance. The Committee is comprised of four Directors who, in the business judgment of the Board of Directors, are independent as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and by Marketplace Rule 4200 of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Board of Directors has determined that all of the Committee members be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements and that the Committee’s former chairman, Dale F. Eck, and current chairperson, Ms. Patricia T. Civil in the opinion of the Committee and the Board, have the requisite experience to be designated as an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities are fully described in its Charter. Each year, the Audit Committee conducts a review and reassesses the adequacy of the Committee’s Charter to assure continuing compliance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, The Nasdaq Stock Market and related regulatory initiatives.

The Audit Committee reports as follows:

Review of Audited Financial Statements with Management.

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited, consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2010 and Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting with the management of the Company. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements, and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the consolidated financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles. The discussions with management included the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles utilized, the reasonableness of significant accounting judgments, and the clarity of disclosures. The Audit Committee also discussed with the Company’s senior management and independent registered public accounting firm the process for certifications by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer which are required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Review of Financial Statements and Other Matters with Independent Public Accounting Firm.

The Audit Committee has discussed with Deloitte the audited consolidated financial statements and those matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, “Communication with Audit Committees,” as adopted by the Public Accounting Oversight Board including the review and approval, in advance, of all fees paid to the independent registered public accounting firm.

Throughout the year, the Audit Committee monitored matters related to the independence of Deloitte. The Audit Committee obtained from Deloitte a formal written statement describing all relationships between Deloitte and the Company that might bear on its independence consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (“Independence Discussions with Audit Committees”), as adopted by the Public Accounting Oversight Board. In concluding that the independent registered public accounting firm is independent, the Committee concluded, among other things, that the non-audit services provided by Deloitte did not compromise its independence. Consistent with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Committee has adopted additional policies to ensure the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm, such as prior committee approval of non-audit services and rotation of the lead audit partner.

Recommendation that Financial Statements be Included in Annual Report.

Based on the above-mentioned reviews and discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the report on internal controls related to the financial reporting of the Company be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s directors, officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock (collectively, “Reporting Persons”) to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of the Common Stock. Such persons are required by regulations of the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all such filings. Based on its review of the copies of such filings received by it and written representations of Reporting Persons with respect to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company believes that all Reporting Persons complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
