Item 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

 

William R. Cullen, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and a director, owed us $172,773 as of March 31, 2004. This debt arose between April and November 2000 (prior to the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) and has not been modified since the obligation was incurred. The loan accrues interest at a rate of 8% per year, is full recourse and is payable on demand. We believe that this transaction is on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party. The board of directors has determined that any permitted transactions with officers, directors or principal shareholders will be approved by the disinterested directors and will be on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party. The board of directors will obtain independent counsel or other independent advice to assist in that determination.

Pre-Approval Policy for Services of Independent Auditors

 

The Audit Committee follows established procedures for pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor. Prior to engaging the independent auditor for the next year’s audit, the committee solicits a proposal from the independent auditor detailing the scope of services for each of the categories described above as well as a budget. The committee reviews and approves the services by category. The fees are budgeted and the committee receives periodic reports from the independent auditor of the actual fees incurred by category. If additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval are required and exceed $15,000 in the aggregate, then the committee requires specific pre-approval before engaging the independent auditor. The committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. That member or members must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the committee at its next scheduled meeting.
