Policies and Procedures for Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services

 

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services expected to be performed by Ernst & Young LLP in any fiscal year.  In addition, the Audit Committee has delegated authority to its Chairman to pre-approve additional non-audit services by Ernst & Young LLP, and ensures that the independent registered public accounting firm shall not be engaged to perform the specific non-audit services that are prohibited by law or regulation.  The Audit Committee Chairman must report any such additional pre-approved services at the next scheduled Audit Committee meeting.  There were no hours expended on the Ernst & Young LLP audit of the Company’s most recent financial statements by persons other than Ernst & Young LLP’s full-time, permanent employees.

Policies and Procedures for Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services

 

The Audit Committee pre-approves estimates of audit and non-audit services expected to be performed by Hein & Associates LLP in any fiscal year.  In addition, the Audit Committee has delegated authority to its Chairman to pre-approve additional audit and non-audit services by Hein & Associates LLP, and ensures that the independent auditors shall not be engaged to perform the specific non-audit services that are prohibited by law or regulation.  The Audit Committee Chairman must report the amount of any such additional pre-approved services at the next scheduled Audit Committee meeting.  The Audit Committee pre-approved 100% of Hein & Associates LLP fees for audit and non-audit services in fiscal 2003 and 2004.  There were no hours expended on the Hein & Associates LLP audit of the Company’s most recent financial statements by persons other than Hein & Associates LLP’s full-time, permanent employees.
