The Audit Committee is informed of and approves all services Gregory & Associates provides. The Audit Committee pre-approves the annual audit fee, tax services, and non-routine SEC filing reviews, as well as the fees for all large projects that are expected to cost more than $50,000. In addition, it has pre-approved $100,000 for items that relate to routine accounting consultations related to items such as new accounting pronouncements, routine SEC filings requiring consents, and routine tax consultations. Upon performance of such services, the Audit Committee is informed of and approves the matters to which such consultations relate. Upon approval by the Audit Committee, the amount is added back to the pre-approved $100,000.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stockholders’ shares present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote is required.

If stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Gregory & Associates, the adverse vote will be considered a directive to the Audit Committee and the Board to select other auditors for the next fiscal year.
