Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

 

In 1994, the Company, together with Electronics Corporation of India Limited (“ECIL”), an unaffiliated Indian company, formed ECIL-Rapiscan Security Products Limited, a joint venture under the laws of India. The Company owns a 36% interest in the joint venture, Mr. Chopra owns a 10.5% interest and Mr. Mehra owns a 4.5% interest. The remaining interest in the joint venture is owned by ECIL. The Company sells security and inspection kits to ECIL at a price no less favorable to the Company than the price the Company charges unaffiliated third parties for such products. To date, the Company’s portion of the earnings of ECIL Rapiscan has been immaterial to the Company’s financial results and results of operations.

 

The Company contracts for a portion of its automobile rental and messenger services from a business that was owned during the year ended June 30, 2008 by Mr. Chopra and his wife. The Company paid the business approximately $54,000 for such services during the year ended June 30, 2008. The Company contracts for printing services from a business owned by Mr. Chopra’s father-in-law, Madan G. Syal. Mr. Syal retired as a Director of the Company on June 30, 2004. The Company paid Mr. Syal approximately $42,000 for such printing services during the year ended June 30, 2008.

 

The Company believes that each of the foregoing transactions was on terms at least as favorable to the Company as those that could have been obtained from nonaffiliated third parties. The Company currently intends that any future transactions with affiliates of the Company will be on terms at least as favorable to the Company as those that can be obtained from nonaffiliated third parties.

 

The Audit Committee of Board of Directors reviews proposed transactions in which the Company and any person who is a member of the Board of Directors, a nominee to become a member of the Board of Directors, an executive officer of the Company, or any immediate family member of any of the foregoing would have a direct or material interest in the transaction and the amount of the transaction is not negligible. The review involves an evaluation, without participation by any member of the Audit Committee with a direct or material interest in the transaction, of whether the transaction would be on terms at least as favorable to the Company as those that could have been obtained from nonaffiliated third parties. This policy is supported by the Charter of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
