COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our Board of Directors currently consists of seven directors. Directors are elected at each annual meeting of stockholders to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. There are no family relationships among any of our directors, officers or key employees.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

The Board does not have a policy regarding the separation of the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board as the Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company to make that determination based upon the position and direction of the Company, and the membership of the Board. The Board has determined at this time that the Company’s Chairman should be an Independent Director rather than the Chief Executive Officer.

CODE OF ETHICS

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. Our Code of Ethics is available on our website (www.bsdmedical.com) on our corporate governance page of the investor section of our website. We intend to post amendments to or waivers from our Code of Ethics (to the extent applicable to our chief executive officer, principal financial officer, or principal accounting officer) on our website.

AFFIRMATIVE DETERMINATIONS REGARDING DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The Board of Directors has determined each of the following directors to be an “independent director” as such term is defined in the NASDAQ Stock Market Listing Standards: Timothy C. McQuay, Michael Nobel, Douglas P. Boyd, Steven G. Stewart, and Damian E. Dupuy.

In this Proxy Statement, these five directors are referred to individually as an “Independent Director” and collectively as the “Independent Directors.”

MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

During fiscal year 2012, the Board of Directors met four times and no director attended fewer than 75% of the meetings of the Board or any of the Board committees of which a director was a member. In addition, on several occasions during fiscal year 2012, the Board of Directors took action by unanimous written consents in lieu of board meetings. Although we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by directors at our annual meeting, we encourage directors to attend and all but one director attended the last annual meeting.

The Board of Directors has formed an audit committee, a corporate governance and nominating committee and a compensation committee. Copies of the charters of our audit committee and our corporate governance and nominating committee are available on our website (www.bsdmedical.com) on our corporate governance page of the investor section of our website.

The Audit Committee. The Audit Committee, which held four meetings during fiscal year 2012, is responsible for reviewing and monitoring our financial statements and internal accounting procedures, recommending the selection of independent auditors by the Board, evaluating the scope of the annual audit, reviewing audit results, consulting with management and our independent auditor prior to presentation of financial statements to stockholders and, as appropriate, initiating inquiries into aspects of our internal accounting controls and financial affairs. The Board of Directors has adopted a written audit committee charter.

The members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Boyd, Stewart, Nobel and McQuay. Mr. Stewart is currently serving as the audit committee chairman and financial expert (Audit Committee Financial Expert). All members of the Audit Committee are Independent Directors.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, which held one meeting during fiscal year 2012, is responsible for identifying qualified individuals to become Board members, determining the composition of the Board and its committees, monitoring and assessing Board effectiveness, and developing and implementing our corporate governance guidelines. Additionally, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee recommends director nominees to our Board of Directors for the Board’s approval. The Board of Directors has adopted a written corporate governance and nominating committee charter.

The members of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee are Messrs. Boyd, Stewart, Nobel, McQuay and Dupuy. All members of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee are Independent Directors. Mr. McQuay is currently serving as the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee chairman.

The Board of Directors does not have an express policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates since the Board believes that its Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee can adequately evaluate nominees on a case-by-case basis. The Board has not previously received any recommendations for director candidates from stockholders, and has not adopted a formal process for considering director candidates who may be recommended by stockholders. However, the Company’s policy is to give due consideration to any and all such candidates, and in evaluating director nominees, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers the appropriate size of the Board, the needs of the Company, the skills and experience of its directors, and a candidate’s familiarity with our industry. Although the Company does not have a formal diversity policy relating to the identification and evaluation of nominees for director, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers many criteria in identifying and selecting nominees, and in the future may establish additional minimum criteria for nominees. A stockholder may submit a recommendation for director candidates to us at our corporate offices, to the attention of Harold R. Wolcott. We do not pay fees to any third parties to assist us in identifying potential nominees.

The Compensation Committee. The members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Boyd, Stewart, Nobel, McQuay and Dupuy. Mr. Boyd is currently serving as the Compensation Committee chairman. All members of the Compensation Committee are Independent Directors. Our Compensation Committee, which met one time during fiscal year 2012, does not currently have a charter. The Compensation Committee has responsibility for establishing and monitoring our executive compensation programs, and for making decisions regarding the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (as defined below). The agenda for meetings of the Compensation Committee is determined by the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee sets the compensation package of the Named Executive Officers and their annual bonus. For a further description of the Compensation Committee’s role, and the use of a compensation consultant, see “Executive Compensation” below.

BOARD ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT

Our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Company’s management of risk. The Board strives to effectively oversee the Company’s enterprise-wide risk management in a way that balances managing risks while enhancing the long-term value of the Company for the benefit of the stockholders. The Board of Directors understands that its focus on effective risk oversight is critical to setting the Company’s tone and culture towards effective risk management. To administer its oversight function, the Board seeks to understand the Company’s risk philosophy by having discussions with management to establish a mutual understanding of the Company’s overall appetite for risk. Our Board of Directors maintains an active dialogue with management about existing risk management processes and how management identifies, assesses, and manages the Company’s most significant risk exposures. Our Board expects frequent updates from management about the Company’s most significant risks so as to enable it to evaluate whether management is responding appropriately.

Our Board relies on each of its committees to help oversee the risk management responsibilities relating to the functions performed by such committees. Our Audit Committee periodically discusses with management the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including the Company’s risk assessment and risk management policies. Our Compensation Committee helps the Board to identify the Company’s exposure to any risks potentially created by our compensation programs and practices. Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee oversees risks relating to the Company’s corporate compliance programs and assists the Board and management in promoting an organizational culture that encourages commitment to ethical conduct and a commitment to compliance with the law. Each of these committees is required to make regular reports of its actions and any recommendations to the Board, including recommendations to assist the Board with its overall risk oversight function.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION 2012

Our Fourth Amended and Restated 1998 Director Stock Plan (“Director Stock Plan”) provides an annual retainer (“Annual Retainer”) in the amount of $60,000 to each non-employee director other than the Audit Committee Financial Expert, who is to receive $65,000. Of the Annual Retainer, $30,000 is to be paid in cash to each such director, other than the Audit Committee Financial Expert, who is to receive $35,000 in cash (the “Cash Payment”). The Cash Payment is payable in equal installments on May 1 and November 1 of each year in which each non-employee director continues to serve as a member of the Board. Each non-employee director is to receive the balance of the Annual Retainer in the form of shares of Common Stock (the “Common Stock Payment”). The portion of the annual retainer that is paid in common stock will be determined by reference to the fair market value of our Common Stock. The fair market value of the Common Stock will be determined by reference to the closing price, as reported by the NASDAQ Stock Market, of the Common Stock on May 1 of each year, the payment date of the Common Stock Payment.

COMMUNICATIONS WITH DIRECTORS

We have not adopted a formal process for stockholder communications with the Board. Nevertheless, we have tried to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. We believe our responsiveness to stockholder communications to the Board has been good. A stockholder may submit any communication with directors to us at our corporate offices, to the attention of Harold R. Wolcott.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF ALL THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES LISTED ABOVE.

PROPOSAL 2: ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or the Dodd-Frank Act, enables our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory (nonbinding) basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC” or “Commission”) rules.

As described in detail under the heading “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the overall objective of our executive compensation program is to help create long-term value for our shareholders by attracting and retaining talented executives, rewarding superior operating and financial performance, and aligning the long-term interests of our executives with those of our shareholders. Please read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 13 for additional details about our executive compensation programs, including information about the fiscal year 2012 compensation of our named executive officers.

We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for our Named Executive Officer compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our Named Executive Officers’ compensation. Accordingly, we will ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the 2012 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure.”

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the Named Executive Officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, we will consider our stockholders’ concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns. We currently plan to hold our next say-on-pay vote at the annual meeting expected to be held on or about February 2015.

A majority of the votes present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting is required to approve Proposal 2. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes against the proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote for this proposal. Proposal 2 is non-binding. If no voting instructions are given, the accompanying proxy will be voted FOR this Proposal 2.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO THE COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE RULES OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

PROPOSAL 3: RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

We are asking the stockholders to ratify the selection of Tanner LLC as the Company’s independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2013. A majority of the votes present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the selection of Tanner LLC. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes against the proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote for this proposal.

In the event the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will consider it as a direction to select other auditors for the subsequent year. Even if the selection is ratified, the Board or Audit Committee, in their discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year we determine that such change would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

Tanner LLC audited the Company’s financial statements for fiscal years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011. Its representatives will be present at the annual meeting, and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following discussion and analysis provides information regarding our executive compensation objectives and principles, procedures, practices and decisions, and is provided to help give perspective to the numbers and narratives that follow in the tables in this section. This discussion will focus on our objectives, principles, practices and decisions with regards to the compensation of Harold R. Wolcott, President and Dennis P. Gauger, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, our named executive officers (“Named Executive Officers”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2012.

Executive Compensation Objectives and Principles

The overall objective of our executive compensation program is to help create long-term value for our shareholders by attracting and retaining talented executives, rewarding superior operating and financial performance, and aligning the long-term interests of our executives with those of our shareholders. Accordingly, our executive compensation program incorporates the following principles:

Compensation should be based upon individual job responsibility, demonstrated leadership ability, management experience, individual performance, and Company performance.

Compensation should reflect the fair market value of the services received. We believe that a fair and competitive pay package is essential to attract and retain talented executives in key positions.

Compensation should reward executives for long-term strategic management and enhancement of shareholder value.

Compensation should reward performance and promote a performance oriented environment.

Executive Compensation Procedures

We believe that compensation paid to our executive officers should be closely aligned with our performance and the performance of each individual executive officer on both a short-term and a long-term basis, should be based upon the value each executive officer provides to us, and should be designed to assist us in attracting and retaining the best possible executive talent, which we believe is critical to our long-term success. To attain our executive compensation objectives and implement the underlying compensation principles, we follow the procedures described below.

Role of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has responsibility for establishing and monitoring our executive compensation programs and for making decisions regarding the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. The agenda for meetings of the Compensation Committee is determined by the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee sets the compensation package and annual bonus of the Named Executive Officers. Our President, Mr. Wolcott, suggests items to be considered by the Compensation Committee from time to time, including the compensation package for the other Named Executive Officers; and participates in meetings in which the compensation package of the other Named Executive Officers is discussed.

The Compensation Committee relies on its judgment in making compensation decisions after reviewing our performance and evaluating our executives’ leadership abilities and responsibilities with our Company and their current compensation arrangements. The Compensation Committee assessment process is designed to be flexible so as to better respond to the evolving business environment and individual circumstances.

At our 2011 annual meeting of stockholders, over 95% of the votes cast were in favor of our executive compensation program. When designing our executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee considered, among other things, the 2011 voting results and other feedback we received from our stockholders and determined not to make any significant changes to the design of our executive compensation program.

Role of Compensation Consultant. We have not engaged a compensation consultant since 2006.

Elements of Compensation

Our executive compensation objectives and principles are implemented through the use of the following elements of compensation, each discussed more fully below:

Base Salary

Annual Incentive Bonuses

Stock-Based Compensation

Other Benefits

Base Salary. The Compensation Committee approved the salaries of all our executive officers for fiscal year 2012. Base salaries are offered to ensure that our executive officers receive an ongoing level of compensation. Salary decisions concerning these officers were based upon a variety of considerations consistent with the compensation philosophy stated above. First, salaries were competitively set relative to both other companies in the medical products industry and other comparable companies. In determining the salaries for our executives in fiscal 2012, the Compensation Committee considered the compensation of some of the public companies in the biotechnology industry. The Compensation Committee considered each officer’s level of responsibility and individual performance, including an assessment of the person’s overall value to the Company. In addition, internal equity among employees was factored into the decision. Finally, the Compensation Committee considered our financial performance and our ability to absorb any increases in salaries.

Annual Incentive Bonuses. Annual incentive bonuses are designed to reward extraordinary performance by our executives. For fiscal years 2012 and 2011, the Compensation Committee did not precisely define the parameters of a bonus program for the Named Executive Officers, and no bonuses were awarded to the Named Executive Officers.

Stock-Based Compensation. Each Named Executive Officer is eligible to participate in the Stock Incentive Plan, which provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance awards, other stock-based awards, and cash-based awards to selected employees, non-employees and directors. Stock-based compensation is designed to more closely align the interests of management with those of our shareholders. Historically, we have issued options pursuant to this incentive plan, and typically these options vest ratably over a term of up to 5 years as determined by the Compensation Committee. Recent stock option grants vest over 3 years. We do not have any policies for allocating compensation between long-term and currently paid out compensation or between cash and non-cash compensation or among different forms of non-cash compensation. Although we do not have any formal policy for determining the amount of stock options or the timing of our stock option grants, we have historically granted stock options to high-performing employees (i) in recognition of their individual achievements and contributions to our company, and (ii) in anticipation of their future service and achievements. There were no stock options granted to the Named Executive Officers during fiscal 2012.

Other Benefits. Our Named Executive Officers receive the same benefits that are available to all other full time employees, including the payment of health, dental, life and disability insurance premiums.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Code Section 162(m) limits the amount that we may deduct for compensation paid to our principal executive officer and to each of our three most highly compensated officers (other than our principal financial officer) to $1.0 million per person, unless certain exemption requirements are met. Exemptions to this deductibility limit may be made for various forms of performance-based compensation. In the past, annual salary and bonus compensation to our executive officers has not exceeded $1.0 million per person, so the compensation has been deductible. In addition to salary and bonus compensation, upon the exercise of stock options that are not treated as incentive stock options, the excess of the current market price over the option price, or option spread, is treated as compensation and accordingly, in any year, such exercise may cause an officer’s total compensation to exceed $1.0 million. Under certain regulations, option spread compensation from options that meet certain requirements will not be subject to the $1.0 million cap on deductibility. While the Compensation Committee cannot predict how the deductibility limit may impact our compensation program in future years, the Compensation Committee intends to maintain an approach to executive compensation that strongly links pay to performance.

The Compensation Committee reviews and considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the IRS Code. In certain situations, the Compensation Committee may approve compensation that will not meet the requirements of IRS Code Section 162(m) in order to ensure competitive levels of total compensation for its executive officers.

Material Issues Relating to Fiscal 2013 Compensation

The Separation Agreement and Release of All Claims (the “Agreement”) entered into between the Company and Mr. Gauger provides that Mr. Gauger will be paid a total of $97,200, the equivalent of six (6) months of his current base salary. Such amount will be paid to Mr. Gauger in accordance with our customary payroll policies, including the withholding of appropriate state and federal income tax. The first payment to Mr. Gauger will be made on January 11, 2013. Additionally, the Company will pay a portion of COBRA insurance payments for Mr. Gauger until the earlier of June 30, 2013, or the date that Mr. Gauger becomes eligible to participate in a health insurance plan of another employer, or the date that Mr. Gauger is no longer eligible for COBRA coverage. Under the Agreement, Mr. Gauger has agreed to provide the Company with not more than 10 hours of consulting services each week through June 30, 2013, at a rate of $100 per hour.

Our Board of Directors has appointed William S. Barth as our new Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary. Mr. Barth commenced his employment with us on December 10, 2012, and will assume the duties of Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary effective January 1, 2013, upon the departure of Mr. Gauger. Mr. Barth’s annual salary will initially be $200,000, and he will be granted options pursuant to our Stock Incentive Plan, as amended.

Medizintechnik purchases equipment, which it installs, and component parts to service the BSD hyperthermia therapy systems that Medizintechnik sells to its customers in Europe. For the fiscal years 2012 and 2011, BSD had revenue of $333,663 and $1,063,495, respectively, from the sale of systems and various component parts sold to Medizintechnik. As of August 31, 2012 and 2011, accounts receivable from Medizintechnik were $33,257 and $408,323, respectively. Dr. Gerhard W. Sennewald, one of BSD’s directors and significant stockholders, is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Medizintechnik and its sole stockholder. Management believes the terms of the transactions with Medizintechnik were arms length and fair to the Company.

The Company does not have a formal written process for reviewing related person transactions. The Company expects that the Audit Committee will review for potential conflict of interest situations, on an ongoing basis, any future proposed transaction, or series of transactions, with related persons, and either approve or disapprove each reviewed transaction or series of related transactions with related persons.
