The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to assist in monitoring:

1.

The integrity of the Company’s financial reporting;

2.

The Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements regarding financial reporting practices; and

3.

The independence and performance of the Company’s independent accountants, the performance of the Company’s internal audit function, and the performance of the Company’s financial management.

Composition And Qualifications  

The Audit Committee shall be appointed by the Board of Directors and shall be comprised of three or more Directors (as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors), each of whom shall meet the independence requirements of the applicable nationally traded stock exchange. At least one member of the Audit Committee shall have accounting or related financial management expertise and each member of the Audit Committee shall be financially literate, as such qualifications are interpreted by the Board of Directors in its business judgment. No member of the Audit Committee shall receive any compensation from the Company other than director’s fees and fees for attending Committee meetings. No member of the Audit Committee shall serve on more than three public company audit committees without the prior approval of the Board of Directors.

Authority  

The Audit Committee can retain special legal, accounting or other consultants to advise it. The Audit Committee may request any officer or employee of the Company or the Company’s outside counsel or independent accountants to attend a meeting of the Audit Committee or to meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee can authorize payments (1) to the independent accounting firm for performance of the audit and (2) of any charges of advisers employed by the Audit Committee.

Responsibilities  

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for oversight of the Company’s independent accountants in connection with the preparation or issuing of an audit report or related work. In this capacity, the Audit Committee is directly responsible for the following:

1.

Oversight of all work of the independent accountants including resolution of any disagreements between the public accountants and management.

 

 

 



 

 

2.

The appointment or removal of the independent accountants. The appointment may be by way of designation of the independent accountant to be proposed for shareholder ratification at a meeting of shareholders.

3.

The compensation of the independent accountants including authorization and approval of their fees and the terms and conditions of their engagement letter.

4.

The independent accountants will report directly to the Audit Committee.

The Independent Accountants  

The Audit Committee shall obtain confirmation and assurance as to the independent accountants’ independence and compliance with Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In this connection, the Audit Committee shall pre-approve all audit and non-audit services performed by the independent accountants for the Company provided, however, that no service in the following categories shall be pre-approved:

1.

Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Company;

2.

Financial information systems design and implementation;

3.

Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports;

4.

Actuarial services;

5.

8.

Legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and

9.

Any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible for an accounting firm that audits the Company’s financial statements.

The prohibition on pre-approval shall not apply to a service specifically exempted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

 

2

 



 

 

The pre-approval requirement may be waived with respect to the provision of a non-audit service if: (i) the service is not in a category ineligible for pre-approval; (ii) the aggregate amount of all such services is less than 5% of the total payments by the Company to the independent accountant during the fiscal year in which the non-audit service is provided; (iii) such service is not recognized by the Company at the time of engagement to be a non-audit service and such service is promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit.

Any approval by the Audit Committee of a non-audit service shall be communicated promptly to the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer so that it may be disclosed to investors in the next periodic report filed pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act.

The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more of its designated members the authority to grant pre-approvals of non-audit services. Decisions of any member to whom authority is delegated shall be presented to the full Audit Committee at each of its scheduled meetings.

The Audit Committee shall receive attestations and reports from the independent accountants on the assessment made by the management of the Company of the effectiveness of the internal control structures and procedures of the Company for financial reporting. Such attestations shall not be the subject of a separate engagement. The Audit Committee shall periodically review with the independent accountants and the Company’s internal auditor the adequacy of the Company’s internal controls, and any significant findings and recommendations with respect to such controls.

The independent accountants shall report periodically to the Audit Committee (1) all critical accouning policies and practices to be used by the Company; (2) all alternative treatments of financial information within generally accepted accounting principles that have been discussed with management of the Company, the ramifications of the use of such alternative treatments and the treatment preferred by the independent accountant; and (3) all other material, written communications between the independent accountants and management of the

Company, such as any management letter or schedule of unadjusted differences. These matters shall be reported to the Audit Committee in a timely manner to facilitate its review of the Company’s annual and quarterly statements.

At least annually, the Audit Committee shall obtain and review a report by the independent accountants describing: the independent accountant’s internal quality control procedure; any material issues raised by the most recent quality control review or review by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board of the independent accountant or any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the past five years, respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm, any steps taken to deal with such issues and any rotation of the lead audit partner as required by law.

Nor, except as expressly set forth herein, is it the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct investigations, to resolve disagreements, if any, between management and the independent accountants or to assure compliance with laws and regulations and the Company’s corporate policies.
