  2. To date, this Committee has no knowledge of any incompliance with the operating and accounting guidelines and policies of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
  3. This Committee has met with the representative of the firm of external auditors and evaluated the performance both of the firm and the auditor responsible therefor. The firm is responsible for expressing an opinion on the fairness of the Company’s financial statements and their compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards. At the current time, we believe the performance of the firm and its auditors to be satisfactory.
  4. This Committee approved the designation of the External Auditor and the payment for auditing and for additional services, ensuring that its independence in no way appears to be compromised.

  1. During the year, nothing worthy of note was observed with regard to the accounting, internal controls, or internal and external auditing, nor were there any complaints relating to irregularities on the part of Management. In the opinion of this Committee, the Company continues to make significant progress with its corporate governance and internal control systems.
