PART II
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Based on our management’s evaluation, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as of December 31, 2006, the end of the period covered by this report, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)) were ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer reached the conclusion expressed in the preceding paragraph because, we failed to prepare and report the information required by Part III of Form 10-K within the time period as specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. This information was required to be included in our 2006 Form 10-K, or filed by amendment or incorporated by reference therein from our definitive proxy statement by April 30, 2007.
We believe that our failure to prepare and file with the SEC the information described above within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the SEC resulted from an inadequacy in our disclosure controls and procedures, which we have remediated in the second quarter of 2007 by improving our disclosure controls and procedures and implementing a remediation measure by appointing one employee specifically responsible for monitoring SEC reporting deadlines that reports directly to the CEO.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in the evaluation that occurred during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Our officers, directors and 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms so filed. Based solely on review of copies of such forms received, we believe that, during the last fiscal year, all filing requirements under Section 16(a) applicable to our officers, directors and 10% shareholders were timely met.
Code of Business Conduct
The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to directors, officers, and all employees of the Company. Viewpoint’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on the Company’s web site at www.viewpoint.com under the Company tab. The Company intends to post on its web site any amendments to, or waivers from its Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to any employees.

Shareholders Nominations for Director Nominees
No material changes have been made to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors since we described the procedures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Our nominating and corporate governance committee will propose the slate of directors to be put up for election at our annual shareholders meeting.
Audit Committee
We currently maintain an audit committee. The audit committee recommends the appointment of our independent registered public accountants, reviews our internal accounting procedures and financial statements and consults with and reviews the services provided by our independent registered public accountants, including the results and scope of their audit. The audit committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Raney (chair), Weatherson and Jones, each of whom is independent, within the meaning of applicable SEC and NASDAQ, rules. Mr. Raney has been designated as an audit committee financial expert, as currently defined under the SEC rules implementing the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. See “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence—Director Independence.” We believe that the composition and functioning of our audit committee complies with all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as NASDAQ and SEC rules and regulations.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Overview of Compensation Program
The Company’s Compensation Committee is empowered to review and approve the annual compensation and compensation procedures for the Company’s executive officers, which currently include the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, and the Executive Vice President and General Counsel. This Compensation Discussion and Analysis presents information about the compensation of the executives named in the Summary Compensation Table (the “named executives”). The Committee develops executive compensation philosophy and it establishes and annually reviews and approves executive compensation programs and practices. The Committee also reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to these compensation decisions, and evaluates the performance of the Company’s executives.
Objectives of Compensation Program
The objectives of Viewpoint’s compensation program are to encourage and reward performance, to align employee financial interests with long-term shareholder value, and to attract and retain outstanding employees. Viewpoint’s compensation philosophy is to offer a package including a competitive base salary, a competitive bonus incentive based on individual and corporate achievement goals, equity-based incentives, and competitive benefits. Executive officers receive total compensation packages in line with their responsibilities and expertise.
Reward Performance. Performance is measured through achievement of corporate financial goals and individual strategic and operational goals. Base salary and bonus are designed to reward annual achievements and be commensurate with the executive’s scope of responsibilities, demonstrated leadership abilities, and management experience and effectiveness. In particular, in 2006 a plan was put into place to provide a discretionary cash bonus pool for 2006 if the Company’s overall financial performance met certain adjusted operating income targets. As these financial targets were not met in 2006, cash bonuses were not paid to employees in 2006 pursuant to the 2006 bonus plan. In addition, equity incentive compensation in the form of stock options is determined taking into consideration performance levels, and are subject to vesting schedules that require continued service with the Company.
Achieve Alignment With Shareholder Value. We seek to align the interests of executive officers with those of our investors by evaluating executive performance on the basis of a key financial measurement, adjusted operating income, which we believe should closely correlate to long-term shareholder value. Key elements of compensation that align the interests of the named executives with shareholders include annual bonus awards, which are significantly based on achievement of this key financial metric, and equity incentive compensation, which links a significant portion of compensation to shareholder value because the value of the awards corresponds to stock price appreciation.
Attract and Retain. We attempt to attract and retain our executives by paying competitive compensation. In addition, equity incentives, which require continued service to vest, provide a key retention device.
Implementing Objectives; Determining Compensation
The Committee relies on its judgment in making compensation decisions, after reviewing the performance of the Company and carefully evaluating an executive’s performance during the year against established goals, and considering peer comparisons. We generally do not adhere to rigid formulas or necessarily react to short-term changes in business performance in determining the amount and mix of compensation elements. We consider competitive market compensation paid by other companies. We strive to achieve an appropriate mix between equity incentive awards and cash payments in order to meet our objectives. Our mix of compensation elements is designed to reward recent results and motivate long-term performance through a combination of cash and
7
equity incentive awards. We believe the most important indicator of whether our compensation objectives are being met is our ability to motivate our named executives to deliver superior performance and retain them to continue their careers with Viewpoint.
Peer Comparisons and Role of Compensation Consultant. The company generally utilizes an independent compensation consultant to assist it in its review of executive compensation. The consultant provides market intelligence on compensation trends along with general views on specific compensation programs. The consultant does not recommend specific compensation levels for any of the executive officers. The consultant engaged by the Compensation Committee used several broad comparison groups in its analysis based on its determination that they were relevant comparison groups based on industry, size of company and other factors.
Role of Chief Executive Officer. Our CEO assists the Compensation Committee in reaching compensation decisions with respect to the named executives other than the CEO by evaluating their performance and recommending compensation levels to the Committee. The other named executives do not play a role in their own compensation determination, other than discussing individual performance objectives and achievement with the CEO.
Employment and Severance Agreements. The Company has employment agreements with our CEO, CFO and EVP/General Counsel. These employment agreements were effective in August 2005, April 2007 and June 2005, respectively. Our other employees serve at the will of the Board, which enables the company to terminate their employment with discretion as to the terms of any severance arrangement, subject to the Company’s general severance policy. This is consistent with the company’s performance-based employment and compensation philosophy.
Equity Grant Practices. The exercise price of each stock option awarded to our executive officers under our stock option plans is the closing price of Viewpoint stock on the date of grant. The date of grant is the date that action is taken approving the grant pursuant to the Compensation Committee’s authority, such as the date of the Committee’s meeting or the date of the action pursuant to a unanimous consent of the Committee, as applicable. In addition, the CEO annually has the authority to grant up to 50,000 stock options to any employee except executive officers of the Company. The date of the grant is the date formally approved in writing by the CEO.
Elements of Compensation Program
Viewpoint’s compensation program consists of three key elements — base salary, bonus incentive based on the Company’s overall performance, and equity incentives. Other than participation in broad based employee benefit plans, Viewpoint does not provide any perquisites to its executive officers, except for the CEO as described below.
Base salary. Base salaries for our named executives are determined with reference to the executive’s scope of responsibilities, contribution to company performance, experience, and breadth of knowledge. Typically the base salaries for executive officers are reviewed annually, with salary changes effective May 1 in connection with the annual review process. Adjustments in the base salaries of executive officers may also be considered at other times during the year if warranted by changing responsibilities or other factors.
Annual Cash Incentive Bonus. In 2006, our executive officers and certain other employees were eligible to participate in a cash incentive bonus. This bonus was intended to meet the objective of the Committee to include a component of executive compensation as at-risk incentive pay, and is consistent with recommendations made by the compensation consultant. Under this program, the aggregate pool that would be available for bonuses was determined based on the Company’s performance with respect to 2006 adjusted operating income targets that were established early in the year and were based on the Company’s approved budget. No bonuses were paid to named executives or other employees in 2006 pursuant to the 2006 bonus plan.
Equity Incentives. Viewpoint’s equity incentive compensation program is designed to recognize the scope of responsibilities, reward demonstrated performance and leadership, motivate future superior performance, align the interests of the executive with our shareowners’ and retain the executives through the term of the awards. As a result, each executive officer receives a significant stock option grant when he or she joins Viewpoint or is promoted to an executive officer position. Grant sizes are determined based on various subjective factors primarily relating to the responsibilities of the individual officers, their anticipated contributions to Viewpoint’s success and prior option grants. In addition, the Committee will periodically grant additional stock options to executive officers based on their responsibilities, performance and contributions during the preceding year, prior option grants and the need to retain such executives.
Stock options only have value to the extent the price of Viewpoint stock on the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price on grant date, and thus are an effective compensation element only if the stock price grows over the term of the award. In this sense, stock options are a motivational tool. The amount of equity incentive compensation granted in 2006 was based upon the strategic, operational and financial performance of the Company overall and reflects the executives’ expected contributions to the Company’s long term success.
In August 2006, the Committee approved special retention option grants to approximately 40% of the employees of the Company, including the Company’s Interim CFO and EVP/General Counsel. These retention options were granted based on the significant ongoing contributions that each of these individuals was expected to make to Viewpoint in the future. These options “cliff-vest” at the end of three years in order to enhance the retention value of the options, and expire seven years from the grant date.
During December 2006, the Committee granted the Company’s Interim CFO and EVP/General Counsel additional retention options as a result of their acceptance of additional responsibilities with the Company and their performance. These options “cliff-vest” at the end of three years in order to enhance the retention value of the options, and expire seven years from the grant date.
In addition approximately 85% of the employees of the company receive annual option grants. All annual options granted have an exercise price equal to the closing price of Viewpoint’s common stock on the date of grant. The stock options granted become exercisable at the rate of 16 2/3% on the six-month anniversary of the grant date, then continue vesting in equal monthly amounts over the following 2 ½ years such that they are fully vested 3 years from the grant date. They have a maximum seven-year term. None of the named executive officers received annual grants in 2006. We believe that this vesting
8
schedule aids the company in retaining employees and motivating longer-term performance. Under the terms of the company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan unvested restricted shares are forfeited if the executive voluntarily leaves Viewpoint.
No Perquisites. We seek to maintain an egalitarian culture in our facilities and operations. Officers are not entitled to operate under different standards than our other employees. Except for a housing allowance and an insurance policy provided to the CEO, the Company does not provide perquisites or other personal benefits to officers, such as automobiles, permanent lodging or defraying the cost of personal entertainment or family travel. Our health care and other insurance programs are the same for all eligible employees, including officers. We expect our officers to be role models under our Code of Conduct, which is applicable to all employees, and officers are not entitled to operate under lesser standards.
Chief Executive Officer Compensation
In determining the compensation for the Company’s CEO, Patrick Vogt, for 2006, the Compensation Committee considered his performance against his financial, strategic and operational goals for the year. Like other executive officers, the key elements of compensation for Mr. Vogt are base salary, cash incentives, and equity incentives.
For fiscal 2006, Mr. Vogt’s base salary was $350,000. Pursuant to Mr. Vogt’s employment agreement, his bonus target was set at $125,000 or approximately 36% of his base salary, and his option target was set at 128,000 options. Based on the Company’s performance against revenue and adjusted operating income targets set by the board in 2006, Mr. Vogt did not receive any cash bonus or options in 2006.
Compensation of Other Named Executive Officers
In determining the compensation of each of the other named executive officers for 2006, the Committee compared their achievements against the performance objectives established for each of them at the beginning of the year. The Committee also evaluated the overall performance of the Company and their contributions to that performance, as well as, when relevant, the performance of and the business groups that each leads. As noted above Messrs Duignan and Graf received retention options granted in August and November 2006 and did not receive additional grants or cash bonus in 2006.
Compensation for Non-Employee Directors in 2006
Non-employee directors’ compensation is set by the Board at the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. In developing its recommendations, the Committee is guided by the following goals: compensation should fairly pay directors for work required in a company of Viewpoint’s size and scope; compensation should align directors’ interests with the long-term interest of shareholders; and the structure of the compensation should be simple, transparent and easy for shareholders to understand. The compensation committee generally reviews Board compensation annually. Like our approach with respect to executive compensation, when establishing compensation for nonemployee directors the Compensation Committee and the Board considers competitive market compensation paid by other companies.
The Company compensates each of its non-employee directors, other than Mr. Raney and Mr. Weatherson, as follows: each non-employee director is paid (i) $2,500 at the end of each fiscal quarter in which he or she is a director, (ii) $1,000 for each regular Board meeting he or she attends, and (iii) $500 for each Board committee meeting he or she attends; provided, however, that if more than one committee meeting is held on the same day or a Board meeting and one or more committee meetings are held on the same day, no more than the initial $500 or $1,000, as the case may be, is paid to any director for all such meetings attended by such director on such date. We paid no fees to members of the Board for meetings they attended by telephone in 2006.
The Company compensates Mr. Raney, the Chairman of the Audit Committee, as follows: (i) $5,000 at the end of each quarter for his services as a member of the Board and Chairman of the Audit Committee, (ii) $1,500 for each meeting of the Board he attends in person, and (iii) $750 for each meeting of the Audit Committee he attends in person. The Company pays fees to Mr. Raney for attending meetings of the Board and meetings of the Audit Committee regardless of whether a meeting of the Board and a meeting of the Audit Committee are held on the same day.
The Company compensates Mr. Weatherson, the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board, as follows: (i) $4,000 at the end of each fiscal quarter for his services as a member of the Board and Non-Executive Chairmen of the Board; (ii) $1,000 for each regular Board meeting he attends, and (iii) $500 for each Board committee meeting he attends; provided, however, that if more than one committee meeting is held on the same day or a Board meeting and one or more committee meetings are held on the same day, no more than the initial $500 or $1,000, as the case may be, is paid to Mr. Weatherson for all such meetings attended on such date.
Each non-employee director who joins the Board is automatically granted an option to purchase 20,000 shares of Company common stock on the date upon which such person first becomes a director. In the case of Mr. Raney, the Company agreed to increase this initial option grant to an option to acquire 50,000 shares. From 1995 through January 2006, each non-employee director has also automatically received an option to purchase 5,000 shares of Company common stock on the first trading day following January 1 of each year, provided the director has been a member of the Board for at least six months. On March 8, 2005, the Board of Directors resolved to increase the number of shares subject to this automatic annual grant to 12,000 and issued options to acquire 7,000 shares of Company common stock to the non-employee directors who would have been eligible to receive an option to acquire 12,000 shares if this increase had been in effect in January 2005. On February 14, 2006, the Board of Directors resolved to increase the number of shares subject to this annual grant to 15,000 for Mr. Weatherson, as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board.
9
The exercise price of each option granted to directors is equal to the fair market value of the Company common stock on the date of grant. The option granted to non-employee directors on the day they join the Board vests at a rate of one-eighth of the option shares upon the end of the first six-month period after the date of grant and one-forty-eighth of the remaining option shares per month thereafter for 3 and a half years, provided the optionee remains a director of the Company. The options granted to non-employee directors on the first business day of each year vests at the rate of one-half of the option shares upon the end of the first six-month period after the date of grant and one-twelfth of the remaining option shares per month thereafter, provided the optionee remains a director of the Company. Options have a term of ten years unless terminated sooner, whether upon termination of the optionee’s status as a director or otherwise pursuant to the operative stock option plan.
In accordance with the compensation arrangements described above, the following table sets forth certain information regarding compensation for the nonemployee members of our Board of Directors for 2006:

(1) This amount represents the compensation expense recognized by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2006, in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-based Payment (“FAS 123R”) with respect to stock options granted in 2006 and prior years. See “Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the SEC, for more information regarding assumptions utilized in determining this compensation expense.
(2) As of December 31, 2006, the aggregate number of outstanding option awards for each non-employee director was as follows: Stephen Duff 49,000; Samuel H. Jones 227,750; Dennis R. Raney 74,000; James J. Spanfeller 20,000; Harvey D. Weatherson 20,000.
(3) Thomas Bennett, James Crabbe, Stephen Duff, and Robert Rice are former members of our Board of Directors who left their positions on April 28, 2006, May 2, 2006, January 9, 2007, and February 13, 2006, respectively.
Tax Considerations
Sections 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the deductibility of compensation payments in excess of $1 million in any taxable year to our Chief Executive Officer and certain other executive officers that are employed by the Company at year end, unless the compensation qualifies as “performance-based” under federal law. In making compensation decisions, the Committee considers the effects of Section 162(m) together with other factors relevant to the Company’s business needs. The Company has historically taken, and intends to continue taking, appropriate actions, to the extent it believes desirable, to preserve the deductibility of compensation payments, including stock awards. However, the Committee also believes that there may be circumstances in which the Company’s interests are best served by maintaining flexibility in the way compensation is provided, whether or not compensation is fully deductible under Section 162(m). Accordingly, the Committee has not adopted a policy that all compensation paid must be tax- deductible and qualified under Section 162(m).
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of the members of the Compensation Committee is a former or current officer or employee of the Company. No interlocking relationship exists between any member of the Compensation Committee and any member of any other Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
Our compensation committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussions, the compensation committee recommended to our board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A.
The foregoing report is provided by the following directors, who constitute the compensation committee.
Samuel H. Jones, Jr., Chairman
James J. Spanfeller

Employment Agreements
The Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Vogt in August 2005 for a term ending on December 31, 2009. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $350,000, a signing bonus of $50,000, and an annual cash incentive bonus of $128,000 and an annual incentive stock option grant of 125,000 shares if the Company achieves certain annual revenue growth and operating income targets as set forth by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Mr. Vogt was granted an option to acquire 1,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.36 per share, the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the day of commencement of Mr. Vogt’s employment. However, if Mr. Vogt’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause (as defined) or by Mr. Vogt for good reason (as defined), Mr. Vogt is entitled to receive an amount equal to his base salary. In addition, if Mr. Vogt’s employment is terminated within one year following a change in control of the Company (as defined), Mr. Vogt would be entitled to receive two times his base salary and all options issued to Mr. Vogt would immediately vest and become exercisable.
In addition, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Duignan in April 2007 under which Mr. Duignan agreed to serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Company and the Company agreed to pay to Mr. Duignan a base salary of $220,000 per year and to grant to Mr. Duignan an option to acquire 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The agreement further provides that if Mr. Duignan’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause (as defined) or is terminated by Mr. Duignan for good reason (as defined), Mr. Duignan will receive an amount equal to his base salary and the unvested portion of all stock options held by Mr. Duignan would immediately vest and become exercisable. In addition, if Mr. Duignan’s employment is terminated within one year following a change in control of the Company (as defined), Mr. Duignan would be entitled to receive his base salary and all options issued to Mr. Duignan would immediately vest and become exercisable.
The Company also entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Graf effective in June 2005, under which Mr. Graf agreed to serve as General Counsel of the Company and the Company agreed to pay to Mr. Graf a base salary of $200,000 per year and to grant to Mr. Graf an option to acquire 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The agreement further provides that if Mr. Graf’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause (as defined) or is terminated by Mr. Graf for good reason (as defined), Mr. Graf will receive an amount equal to his base salary and the unvested portion of all stock options held by Mr. Graf would immediately vest and become exercisable. In addition, if Mr. Graf’s employment is terminated within one year following a change in control of the Company (as defined), Mr. Graf would be entitled to receive his base salary and all options issued to Mr. Graf would immediately vest and become exercisable. Mr. Graf’s base salary was subsequently increased to $220,000 by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors effective January 1, 2006 and to $250,000 by the Compensation Committee effective January 1, 2007.
The Company entered into an employment agreement with its former Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Mitchell, in July 2003 under which Mr. Mitchell agreed to serve as Chief Financial Officer for a two-year term. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $225,000, a minimum annual bonus of $25,000, and an annual discretionary bonus based on the achievement of management-based objectives of up to $50,000. In accordance with the agreement, the Company granted to Mr. Mitchell an option to acquire 350,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.77 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day immediately preceding the commencement of Mr. Mitchell’s employment. The agreement further provides that the Company will grant to Mr. Mitchell an option to acquire an additional 150,000 shares of common stock on the first anniversary of his starting date at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on that day. In November 2003, the Company granted Mr. Mitchell an option to acquire 200,000 shares of common stock in satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to grant to Mr. Mitchell the option to acquire 150,000 shares of common stock on the first anniversary of his starting date pursuant to the employment agreement. The option to acquire 200,000 shares was immediately vested and was granted at an exercise price of $.82 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. In addition, the Company agreed that twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of the shares subject to the option to acquire 350,000 shares of common stock granted to Mr. Mitchell vested three months after the first day of Mr. Mitchell’s employment and the remaining shares vest at the rate of 1/21 per month. However, if Mr. Mitchell’s employment is terminated by the Company after the first anniversary of Mr. Mitchell’s employment, 100% percent of the shares subject to issued options would vest in Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Mitchell would be entitled to receive a payment equal to his base salary. In addition, if the Company enters into an agreement with a third party that leads to a change in control after the first anniversary of Mr. Mitchell’s employment and Mr. Mitchell’s employment is terminated within one year following the change in control, Mr. Mitchell would be entitled to receive two times his base salary and the options issued to Mr. Mitchell would immediately vest and become exercisable. Mr. Mitchell left the Company in November 2006 and no payments were made to Mr. Mitchell pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company’s directors, certain officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s securities, to file with the SEC reports of ownership and changes in ownership of Company common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater-than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
