This excerpt taken from the SLTC DEF 14A filed Oct 14, 2009. REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The information contained in this report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material,” to be “filed” with the SEC or be subject to Regulation 14A or Regulation 14C (other than as provided in Item 407 of Regulation S-K) or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in future filings with the SEC except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference into a document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee serves as the representative of the Board of Directors for general oversight of the financial accounting and reporting process, system of internal control, audit process and process for monitoring compliance with laws and regulations and the Company’s Standards of Business Conduct. In addition, the Audit Committee annually appoints an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the financial statements of the Company. The current members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Arnold (Chair), Sems and Howe. Mr. Sems was elected as a member of the Audit Committee in July 2008. Mr. Howe was elected to the Audit Committee in January 2009. Mr. Thanos and Ms. Zawatski served on the Audit Committee for all of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 but resigned from the Audit Committee on June 28, 2009. The Company’s management has primary responsibility for preparing the Company’s financial statements and financial reporting process. On September 21, 2005, the Company engaged its current independent registered public accounting firm, Armanino. Armanino is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the Company’s audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States since the date of its engagement. The Audit Committee has general oversight responsibility with respect to the financial reporting process and the overall scope of the Company’s audit, and it reviews the results of the audit as well as other services provided by the Company’s independent registered public account firm. As part of this process, the Audit Committee meets periodically with representatives of Armanino, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of our financial reporting. In this context, the Audit Committee hereby reports as follows:
Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for that fiscal year for filing with the SEC. Submitted by the following members of the Audit Committee: James Arnold, Jr., Chairperson Lloyd Sems Alan Howe
