PROXY STATEMENT
The following information is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the
Board of Directors of the Company for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the Meeting) to be held
on Wednesday, September 13, 2006, at 11:00 A.M., Atlanta time, at the Companys Corporate
Headquarters, 1945 The Exchange, Suite 300, Atlanta, Georgia. A copy of the Companys Annual
Report for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006, and a proxy for use at the Meeting are enclosed
with this Proxy Statement. This Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy first were mailed to
shareholders on or about August 15, 2006.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked, without compliance with any
other formalities, by any shareholder who attends the Meeting and gives oral notice of his or her
election to vote in person. In addition, any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be
revoked prior to the Meeting by delivering to the Secretary of the Company a notice of revocation
or a duly executed proxy for the same shares bearing a later date. All proxies of shareholders
solicited by the Company, which are properly executed and received by the President of the Company
prior to the Meeting, and which are not revoked, will be voted at the Meeting. The shares
represented by such proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon, and unless
specifically instructed to vote otherwise, the individuals named in the enclosed proxy will vote to
elect all the nominees as set forth in this Proxy Statement. Abstentions and broker non-votes
will be included in determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting, but will otherwise have
no effect on the election of the Directors. Absentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of negative votes on the proposal to increase
the number of the Companys authorized shares of Common Stock. Broker non-votes are proxies
received from brokers or other nominees holding shares on behalf of their clients who have not
received specific voting instructions from their clients with respect to non-routine matters. A
system administered by the Companys transfer agent will tabulate the votes cast.
The Company pays the cost of soliciting proxies. Copies of solicitation material may be
furnished to banks, brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for forwarding
to beneficial owners of shares of the Common Stock and normal handling charges may be paid for such
forwarding service. In addition to soliciting by mail,
Directors and regular employees of the Company, at no additional compensation, may assist in
soliciting proxies by telephone or other means.

appraise: (1) the integrity of the Companys financial statements and other external financial
information, financial reporting process and internal controls; (2) the Companys auditing process,

and to the requirements of applicable law. All actions of the Executive Committee are subsequently
submitted to the full Board of Directors for affirmation. The Executive Committee did not meet

NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS
Nominations Process. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for
considering and making recommendations to the Board concerning nominees to recommend to the
shareholders in connection with the Companys Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and nominees for
appointments to fill any vacancy on the Board. To fulfill these responsibilities, the Committee
periodically considers and makes recommendations to the Board regarding what experience, talents,
skills and other characteristics the Board as a whole should possess in order to maintain its
effectiveness. In determining whether to nominate an incumbent Director for re-election, the Board
and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluate each incumbents continued service
in light of the Boards collective requirements at the time such Director comes up for re-election.
When the need for a new Director arises (whether because of a newly created Board seat or a
vacancy), the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee proceeds by whatever means it deems
appropriate to identify a qualified candidate or candidates. The Committee reviews the
qualifications of each candidate. Final candidates are generally interviewed by one or more Board
members. The Committee then makes a recommendation to the Board based on its review, the results
of interviews with the candidate, and all other available information. The Board makes the final
decision on whether to invite the candidate to join the Board.
Director Qualifications. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for
considering and making recommendations to the Board concerning criteria for the selection of
qualified Directors. At a minimum, Directors should have high moral character and personal
integrity, demonstrated accomplishment in his or her field, and the ability to devote sufficient
time to carry out the duties of a Director. In addition to these minimum qualifications for
candidates, in evaluating candidates the Board and the Committee may consider all information
relevant in their business judgment to the decision of whether to nominate a particular candidate
for a particular Board seat, taking into account the then-current composition of the Board. These
factors may include: a candidates professional and educational background, reputation, industry
knowledge and business experience, and the relevance of those characteristics to the Company and
the Board; whether the candidate will complement or contribute to the mix of talents, skills and other
characteristics needed to maintain the Boards effectiveness; the candidates ability to
5
fulfill
the responsibilities of a Director and of a member of one or more of the Boards standing
committees; whether the candidate is independent; and whether the candidate is financially literate
or a financial expert.
Shareholder Nominations. Nominations of individuals for election to the Board at any meeting
of shareholders at which Directors are to be elected may be made by any Company shareholder
entitled to vote for the election of Directors at that meeting by complying with the procedures set
forth in Section 10 of the Companys Bylaws. Section 10 provides that notice of proposed
shareholder nominations must be given to the Secretary of the Company at the Companys principal
executive offices not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the meeting
at which Directors are to be elected, unless the notice of meeting is given less than sixty (60)
days prior to the meeting, in which case the notice of nomination must be received not later than

including age, address, principal occupation, the number of shares of stock of the Company
beneficially owned by such nominee, and such other information as would be required to be disclosed

of shares by such nominee or with the solicitation of proxies by such nominee for his or her
election as a Director. Information must also be disclosed by and about the shareholder proposing
to nominate that person. The chairman of a shareholder meeting may refuse to acknowledge the
nomination of any person not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.

it include in the Boards slate of Director nominees for a shareholders meeting a nominee
submitted to the Company by a shareholder who has beneficially held at least five percent (5%) of
the Companys outstanding Common Stock for at least two (2) years. In order for the Committee to
consider such nominees, the nominating shareholder should submit the information about the nominee
and nominating shareholder described in Section 10 of the Bylaws to the Secretary of the Company at
the Companys principal executive offices within the time period prescribed by Rule 14a-8 under the
Exchange Actgenerally, at least one hundred twenty (120) days before the first anniversary of the
date that the Companys Proxy Statement was released to shareholders in connection with the

that the Board and the Committee consider such shareholders nominee for inclusion with the Boards
slate of nominees for the shareholders meeting, and should submit information demonstrating that
the shareholder has beneficially owned at least five percent (5%) of the Companys outstanding
Common Stock for at least two (2) years. The nominating shareholder and shareholders nominee
should undertake to provide, or consent to the Company obtaining, all other information the Board
and the Committee may request in connection with their evaluation of the nominee.
6
The shareholders nominee must satisfy the minimum qualifications for Director described
above. In addition, in evaluating shareholder nominees for inclusion with the Boards slate of
nominees, the Board and Committee may consider all relevant information, including: the factors
described above; whether there are or will be any vacancies on the Board; the size of the
nominating shareholders Company holdings and the length of time such shareholder has owned such
holdings; whether the nominee is independent of the nominating shareholder and able to represent
the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole; and the interests and/or intentions
of the nominating shareholder.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Companys Directors, certain

Stock of the Company to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission reports of changes in
ownership of the Common Stock of the Company held by such persons. These persons are also required

APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF AN AMENDMENT TO
THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE
NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
General
The Companys Articles of Incorporation currently provides for authorized capital stock
consisting of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share.
On May 25, 2006, the Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder approval, an
amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common
Stock to 10,000,000 shares (the Amendment), with all seven (7) Directors voting in favor of
approval.
Purpose and Effect of the Amendment
The proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock has been deemed
advisable by the Board of Directors in order to, among other purposes, provide additional
authorized shares of Common Stock in order for the Company to have flexibility with respect to the
conduct of its business, including the possibility of using Company stock as consideration in
acquiring other businesses, and other possible financing alternatives, and in order for the Company
to continue to appropriately provide equity incentive compensation to its employees. As further
described below, the Company has a limited amount of authorized Common Stock available to raise
capital and/or acquire other businesses and issue equity awards. Accordingly, the Board of
Directors believes that it is in the best interests of the Company to authorize additional Common
Stock, and thereby provide the Company with additional flexibility with respect to its ability to
issue additional Common Stock.
If the Amendment is approved, the additional authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
may be issued from time to time for such proper corporate purposes as may be determined by the
Board of Directors, without further action or authorization by the shareholders. In addition to the
possible acquisition of other businesses/companies, the raising of capital, or the issuance of
equity incentives to employees and other eligible participants in the Companys equity compensation
plan, such other corporate purposes
may include, without limitation, the declaration of stock splits and/or stock dividends or the
issuance of warrants or other instruments to acquire Common Stock.
During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006, the Company issued a total of 335,203 shares of
Common Stock in conjunction with a ten percent (10%) stock dividend.
As of June 30, 2006, 3,695,336 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding and an
additional 163,266 shares are held by the Company as treasury stock. As of the same date, options
to purchase an aggregate of 1,069,390 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding under the
Companys 2000 Stock Award Plan. Further, as of June 30, 2006, the Company has issued warrants to
purchase a total of 55,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company issued these warrants for the
purchase of Common Stock in connection with a business acquisition.
Accordingly, because the Company has issued, and reserved for issuance under outstanding
awards, an aggregate of approximately 4,819,726 shares, or approximately 96%, of its total
5,000,000 shares of currently authorized Common Stock, the Board of Directors believes that it is
necessary and prudent for the Company to amend its Articles of Incorporation to increase the
Companys authorized shares of Common Stock to 10,000,000 shares to allow the Company to issue
additional shares of Common Stock for the purposes described above, and for any other lawful
purpose.
The possible future issuance of shares of equity securities consisting of Common Stock or
securities convertible into Common Stock, such as the issuance of any stock options or stock
appreciation rights, could affect the current shareholders of the Company in a number of ways,
including the following:
|
|
|
diluting the voting power of the current holders of Common Stock; |
|
|
|
|
diluting the market price of the Common Stock, to the extent that the shares of Common
Stock are issued and sold at prices below current trading prices of the Common Stock, or if
the issuance consists of equity securities convertible into Common Stock, to the extent
that the securities provide for the conversion into Common Stock at prices that could be
below current trading prices of the Common Stock; |
|
|
|
|
diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock; and |
|
|
|
|
making the payment of dividends on Common Stock potentially more expensive. |
The increase in authorized shares of Common Stock may have an incidental anti-takeover effect,
although that is not the intention of this proposal. Additional shares could be used to dilute the
stock ownership of parties seeking to obtain control of the Company, and the increase in authorized
shares discourages the possibility of, or renders more difficult, certain mergers, tender offers or
proxy contests. For example, without further shareholder approval, the Board of Directors could
sell shares of Common Stock in a private transaction to purchasers who would oppose a takeover,
thereby potentially
11
preventing a transaction favored by a majority of independent shareholders
under which shareholders would have received a premium for their shares over then-current market
prices. The Company is not aware of any pending or proposed effort to obtain control or change
management of the Company.
If the Amendment is approved by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting, the Amendment will
become effective upon the filing of Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the
Secretary of State of the State of Georgia. If the Amendment is approved, all or any part of the
additional authorized shares of Common Stock may be issued following such approval without further
approval from the shareholders, except to the extent required by law, for those purposes and on
such terms as the Board of Directors may determine to be appropriate. The Company is not currently
subject to any law which would require further shareholder approval prior to the issuance of shares
of Common Stock.
No Appraisal Rights
Under Georgia law, shareholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to this
proposal.
Vote Required and Recommendation of the Board
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Common Stock of the
Company represented and voted at the Annual Meeting, assuming the presence of a quorum, is required
to increase the number of authorized shares of the Companys Common Stock from 5,000,000 shares to
10,000,000 shares.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of the Amendment.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The objectives of the Companys Executive compensation program are to enhance the
profitability of the Company, and thus shareholder value, by aligning employee compensation with
the financial interests of the shareholders of the Company, and to attract, motivate, reward and
retain skilled employees, including Executive Officers, who contribute to the long-term success of
the Company. In furtherance of these goals, the Companys compensation program for Executive
Officers includes base salary, annual incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation.
At the discretion of the Board of Directors, selected Executive Officers may participate in the
Senior Management Deferral Plan, which is designed to permit eligible employees to defer a portion
of their incentive compensation. The Compensation Committee approves the compensation of the
Companys Executive Officers, based in part or by the recommendation of the CEO.
14
Salary. The Compensation Committee determines base salaries for the Executive Officers,
including the CEO, based upon the financial performance of the Company or subsidiary, as the case
may be, and upon the individuals level of responsibility, qualifications, time with the Company,
contribution, performance, and the compensation levels of similarly positioned executives in
comparable companies. Evaluation of these factors is subjective, and no fixed, relative weights
are assigned to the criteria considered.
Incentive Compensation. The Company is committed to attracting skilled employees by offering
competitive compensation programs. Accordingly, the Company has an annual incentive bonus program
that covers all full-time employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Executive
Officers. At the beginning of each fiscal year, with recommendations from management, the
Compensation Committee approves a specific consolidated net earnings target and an incentive bonus
opportunity for each Executive Officer, generally expressed as a percentage of such officers base
salary. The incentive bonus that can be earned by Executive Officers, or any full-time employee, is
contingent on the Company achieving consolidated net earnings, and is derived by a formula tied to
the level of attainment of the consolidated net earnings target, or in the case of those Executive
Officers who are presidents of operating segments, tied partially to the level of attainment of the
consolidated net earnings target and partially to the level of attainment of a net earnings target
for the operating segment. All Executive Officers receive any earned incentive bonuses in two (2)
installments, payable six (6) months apart. To qualify to receive an incentive bonus installment,
a plan participant must be actively employed by the Company at the time of such payment. The
Company retains discretion to terminate or amend the plan at any time.
The Company has a 401(k) plan (the Plan) that covers eligible employees meeting certain
service requirements. Pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, eligible employees may make salary
deferrals (before tax) of up to one hundred percent (100%) of their total compensation per plan
year, subject to a specified maximum annual contribution as determined by the Internal Revenue
Service. The Plan also includes provisions that authorize the Company to make discretionary
contributions. Such contributions, if made, are allocated among all eligible employees as
determined under the Plan. The trustees under the Plan invest the assets of each participants
account as directed by the
participant. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006, the Company made employer matching
401(k) contributions to the Plan for all participating employees totaling approximately $63,000.
Stock Awards. The Board of Directors adopted the 2000 Stock Award Plan on May 26, 2000. The
Companys shareholders approved the 2000 Stock Award Plan on August 23, 2000. It is the intent of
the 2000 Stock Award Plan to provide the means through which employees, including Executive
Officers, can build a financial stake in the Company, so as to align the employees economic
interests with those of shareholders. The 2000 Stock Award Plan is designed to play an integral
role in the ability of the Company to attract and retain key employees, directors, consultants, and
independent contractors. The Company believes that equity ownership among employees is an
incentive which can enhance the Companys growth, profitability, and, accordingly, shareholder
value.
15
The Executive Officers were not awarded any stock options or shares of restricted stock during
the Companys fiscal year ended April 30, 2006.
In June 2006, the Compensation Committee awarded 312,000 stock appreciation rights to
employees, directors and certain independent contractors under the 2000 Stock Award Plan.
Compensation Deductibility Policy. The Company does not anticipate that Section 162 (m) of
the Internal Revenue Code, which limits the tax deduction for certain executive compensation
exceeding $1,000,000, will have any impact on the compensation policies of the Company.
The tables included in this Proxy Statement and accompanying narrative and footnotes reflect
the decisions covered by the above discussion.
Submitted by the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Directors.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the fiscal
year ended April 30, 2006, with management and the independent auditors,
Deloitte & Touche LLP. Management made representations to the Audit Committee that the Companys
consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The discussions with the independent auditors also included the matters required by
Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees).
The independent auditors provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and the
letter regarding its independence, as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1
(Independence Discussion with Audit Committees). This information was discussed with the
independent auditors.
Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committees review of the
representations of management, and the report and independence letter of the independent auditors,
the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that
16
the audited consolidated financial
statements be included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, to be filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006.
Submitted by the Audit Committee of the Companys Board of Directors.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Currently, each independent Director is paid a retainer of $600 per month and a fee of $1,300
for each Board of Directors meeting attended. In addition, independent Directors who are members
of a committee of the Board of Directors are paid a fee of $600 for each committee meeting
attended. The chairman of the Audit Committee is paid an additional fee of $10,000 annually.
Inside Directors receive no retainer fee or other renumeration of any kind for service on the Board
of Directors or committee of the Board of Directors.
Directors Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company maintains a Directors Deferred
Compensation Plan (the Deferred Compensation Plan) under which each member of the Board of
Directors may elect to defer to a future date receipt of all or any part of his or her compensation
as a Director and/or as a member of a committee of the Board. For purposes of the Deferred
Compensation Plan, compensation means the retainer fees and meeting fees payable to such
Directors by the Company in their capacities as Directors or as members of a committee of the Board
of Directors, respectively, but excludes awards of restricted stock, or stock options, stock
appreciation rights or other equity incentives.
The Deferred Compensation Plan is administered by the Executive Committee of the Board of
Directors. A committee member may not participate in any decision relating in
any way to his or her individual rights or obligations as a participant under the Deferred
Compensation Plan.
The Company will make payments of deferred compensation and the accumulated earnings on such
deferred compensation, pursuant to the provisions of the Deferred Compensation Plan at the time
specified by each participant, in a lump sum, subject to the Deferred Compensation Plans
restrictions and limitations, or, at the sole discretion of the participant, in no more than five
(5) equal annual installments. For the year ended April 30, 2006, three (3) members of the Board
of Directors participated in the Deferred Compensation Plan.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services
Pursuant to its Charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for the pre-approval of all audit
services and all permissible non-audit services to be performed for the Company by the independent
public accountant. To help fulfill this responsibility, the Committee has adopted an Audit and
Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy. Under the Policy, all auditor services must be
pre-approved by the Audit Committee either (1) before the commencement of each service on a
case-by-case basiscalled specific pre-approval; or (2) by the description in sufficient detail
in an appendix to the Policy of particular services that the Audit Committee has generally
approved, without the need for case-by-case considerationcalled general pre-approval. Unless a
particular service has received general pre-approval, it must receive the specific pre-approval of
the Committee, or one of its members to whom the Committee has delegated specific pre-approval
authority. The appendix to the Policy describes the services which have received general
pre-approval. These general pre-approvals allow the Company to engage the independent
accountant for the enumerated services subject to fee limits per engagement and aggregate limits
per service for a fiscal year. Any engagement of the independent public accountants pursuant to a
general pre-approval must be reported to the Audit Committee at its next regular
19
meeting. The
Audit Committee periodically reviews the services that have received general pre-approval and the
associated ranges of fees. The Policy in no way delegates to management the Audit Committees
responsibility to pre-approve services performed by the independent public accountant.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND COMMUNICATING WITH THE BOARD
The Company has adopted a code of ethics applicable to its employees, Directors and Executive
Officers, including the Chief Executive Officer and senior financial officers. The code of ethics
is available at the Companys Website, www.servidyne.com, through the Investor Relations
and then the Corporate Governance links. The charters for the Audit Committee, Compensation
Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are also available at that website.
Shareholders wishing to communicate with the Board of Directors may do so by writing to the
Board in care of the Secretary of the Company, 1945 The Exchange, Suite 300, Atlanta, Georgia,
30339-2029. The Companys management may first review, sort and summarize such communications, and
screen out any solicitations for goods or services and similar inappropriate communications
unrelated to the Company or its business.
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
Proposals of shareholders intended to be presented at the Companys 2007 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of Rule 14a-8(e) of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and shareholder nominations proposed for inclusion in the Companys Proxy Statement and
form of proxy for that Meeting, must be received by the Company at its executive offices on or
before March 26, 2007, in order to be eligible for inclusion in the Proxy Statement and form of
