ANNUAL
MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO
BE HELD NOVEMBER 17, 2009
INTRODUCTION
The 2009
Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of Imagenetix, Inc., a Nevada corporation,
will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn located at 17240 Bernardo Center Drive,
San Diego, California 92128, beginning at 3:00 p.m., local time, on November 17,
2009.
A proxy
card is enclosed for your use.
YOU ARE SOLICITED ON BEHALF OF THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO SIGN AND RETURN THE PROXY CARD IN THE ACCOMPANYING
ENVELOPE
. No postage is required if mailed within the United
States. We will pay the costs related to soliciting proxies,
including preparing, assembling and mailing the proxies and soliciting material,
as well as the cost of forwarding such material to the beneficial owners of our
common stock. Our directors, officers and regular employees may,
without compensation other than their regular compensation, solicit proxies by
telephone or personal conversation. We may reimburse brokerage firms
and others for expenses in forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners
of our common stock.
Any
shareholder giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before its use at the
Annual Meeting either by:
|
·
|
giving written notice of
revocation to our Secretary before the Annual Meeting or at the Annual
Meeting before the proxy is
used;
|
|
·
|
submitting a duly executed proxy
with a later date to our Secretary;
or
|
|
·
|
appearing at the Annual Meeting
and voting his or her stock in
person.
|
Proxies
will be voted as specified by shareholders. Proxies that are signed
by shareholders, but lack any such specification, will be voted in favor of the
nominees for directors listed in this Proxy Statement and in favor of the
proposal to increase the number of shares available for granting under the 2000
Stock Option Plan. Abstention from a proposal set forth in the Notice of Meeting
is treated as a vote against such proposal. Broker non-votes on
either such proposal (
i.e.
, a card returned by a
broker because voting instructions have not been received and the broker has no
discretionary authority to vote) are treated as shares with respect to which
voting power has been withheld by the beneficial holders of those shares and,
therefore, as shares not entitled to vote on such proposal.
THE
BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTORS
LISTED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT, FOR APPROVAL OF AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF
SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANTING UNDER THE 2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN, AND FOR
RATIFICATION OF HJ ASSOCIATES & CONSULTANTS LLP AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS AS DESCRIBED BELOW.
We expect
that this Proxy Statement and the proxy card will be first mailed to
shareholders on or about October 19, 2009.
The terms
“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “company” or similar terms refer to Imagenetix,
Inc.
HOUSEHOLDING
OF ANNUAL MEETING MATERIALS
Some
banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be participating in the
practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports. This
means that only one copy of our Proxy Statement or Annual Report to Shareholders
may have been sent to multiple shareholders who share the same
address. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of either document
to any shareholder upon written or oral request to our Investor Relations
Department, Imagenetix, Inc., 10845 Rancho Bernardo Road, Suite 105, San Diego,
California 92127, telephone: (858) 674-8455. Any shareholder who
wants to receive separate copies of our Proxy Statement or Annual Report to
Shareholders in the future, or any shareholder who is receiving multiple copies
and would like to receive only one copy per household, should contact the
shareholder’s bank, broker, or other nominee record holder, or the shareholder
may contact us at the above address and phone number.
OUTSTANDING
SHARES
Only
record holders of our common stock at the close of business on October 9, 2009
will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On October 9, 2009,
we had 11,010,788 outstanding shares of common stock, each such share entitling
the holder thereof to one vote on each matter to be voted on at the Annual
Meeting. The holders of a majority of the shares (5,505,395 shares)
entitled to vote and represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting
will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual
Meeting. In general, shares of common stock represented by a properly
signed and returned proxy card will be counted as shares present and entitled to
vote at the Annual Meeting for the purposes of determining a quorum, without
regard to whether the card reflects an abstention (or is left blank) or reflects
a broker non-vote on a matter. Holders of shares of common stock are
not entitled to cumulate voting rights.
PROPOSAL
NO. 1
ELECTION
OF DIRECTORS
Nomination
Our
Bylaws provide that the number of directors of the corporation shall be as
established by the board of directors, but shall be no less than
one. As of the record date, the number of directors has been set at
five (5). At our last Annual Meeting, three directors were elected.
In September 2005, our board increased the number of directors to five and
elected Jeffrey McGonegal and Robert Burg to fill the two vacant directorships.
Our board has unanimously recommended and determined to nominate the current
five directors to be elected at the 2009 Annual Meeting. The process used to
nominate these directors is discussed below under the caption “Board Member
Nomination Process.” Directors elected at the 2009 Annual Meeting will hold
office until the next regular meeting of shareholders or until their successors
are duly elected and qualified.
All of
the nominees for directors are currently members of our board and have consented
to serve as directors, if elected. Each nominee will be elected by a
plurality of the votes cast. The five director nominees receiving the
highest vote totals will be elected. Shares represented by proxies that contain
instructions to “withhold” voting authority on one or more nominees will not
affect the election of nominees receiving a plurality of the votes cast. Our
board recommends a vote
FOR
the election of each of
the nominees listed in this Proxy Statement. Our board intends to
vote the proxies solicited on its behalf (other than proxies in which the vote
is withheld) for the election of each of the nominees as
directors. If prior to the Annual Meeting our board should learn that
any of the nominees will be unable to serve by reason of death, incapacity or
other unexpected occurrence, the proxies will be cast for another nominee to
be
designated by our board to fill such vacancy, unless a shareholder indicates to
the contrary on his or her proxy card. Alternatively, the proxies
may, at our board’s discretion, be voted for such fewer nominees as results from
such death, incapacity or other unexpected occurrence. Our board has
no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to
serve.
Board
Member Nomination Process
We have
not established a nominating committee. Our board has determined that because of
the relatively small size of the board and the value of all directors
participating in the process of nominations for board membership, it is in the
company’s best interests for the entire board to exercise the responsibilities
of nominations for board membership. In lieu of a charter, the board has adopted
principles, objectives and requirements in connection with the nomination
process that set forth guidelines and procedures for the selection and
evaluation of candidates for nomination as board members. Our board
reviews these principles, objectives and requirements periodically to determine
if a more formal policy should be adopted.
In
evaluating individual candidates for nomination for board membership, the board
will seek out individuals who have, at a minimum, the following
attributes:
|
·
|
High moral and ethical
character;
|
|
·
|
Readiness to share constructive
ideas, make independent decisions, work proactively and constructively
with other board members, and devote the time and energy necessary for
comprehensive and timely completion of all board member responsibilities;
and
|
|
·
|
Adequate education, training and
business experience, including knowledge of our business and the
nutraceutical and biopharmaceutical industries, to understand and make
well informed and well reasoned judgments on all matters within the scope
of the board’s
responsibilities.
|
In making
nominations for board membership, the board will consider recommendations from a
variety of sources, including from shareholders. All recommended candidates will
be evaluated under the same criteria. All candidates selected as a nominee for
director must be approved by a majority of the directors of our
board.

Additional
Information About the Board and Its Committee
General
Information.
Our board of directors manages our business and affairs.
Except for Mr. and Mrs. Spencer, all of our directors are independent directors,
as defined by current Nasdaq listing standards and the rules and regulations of
the SEC. Our independent directors may hold meetings, referred to as
“executive sessions,” at which only the independent directors are present.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, our independent directors did not
hold any executive sessions.
Our board
met or took action in writing two times during the fiscal year ended March 31,
2009. Our board established and maintains an Audit Committee. Each of
our directors is expected to make a reasonable effort to attend all meetings of
the board, applicable committee meetings and our Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
All of our directors then serving attended 75% or more of the aggregate meetings
of our board and all such committees on which they served during the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2009. It is anticipated that all of our directors now
serving will attend our 2009 Annual Meeting.
Audit Committee.
Our Audit Committee was established in accordance with section
3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the purpose
of overseeing accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of our
financial statements. The functions of the Audit Committee include reviewing our
financial statements, overseeing the financial reporting and disclosures
prepared by management, making recommendations regarding our financial controls,
and conferring with our outside independent registered public accounting
firm. In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for the
appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of our outside independent
registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee met or took action in
writing four times during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Mr.
McGonegal and Mr. Spencer served as the Audit Committee during 2009 and are the
current members of the Audit Committee, of which Mr. McGonegal is
Chairman. Only Mr. McGonegal is deemed an independent director
serving on the Audit Committee.
Compensation
Committee.
We have not established a compensation committee. Our board
has determined that because of the relatively small size of the board and the
value of all directors participating in the process of evaluating and reviewing
compensation issues, it is in the company’s best interests for the entire board
to exercise the responsibilities over compensation. In lieu of a charter, the
board has adopted principles, objectives and requirements in connection with the
compensation process that set forth guidelines and procedures for the evaluation
and setting of compensation levels for executive
officers.
Shareholder
Communications with Our Board.
Any shareholder wishing to send
communications to our board may send a letter to the board, c/o Corporate
Secretary, at Imagenetix’s address listed above. Any such communication must be
clearly labeled “Security Holder-Board Communication” and must include a signed
statement as to the submitting shareholder’s current status as a shareholder and
the number of shares currently held. All communications that are reasonably
related to Imagenetix or its business will be directed by the Corporate
Secretary to the board, or particular board members, not later than the next
regularly scheduled meeting of the board. The Corporate Secretary has
the authority to discard or disregard or take other appropriate actions with
respect to any inappropriate communications, such as unduly hostile, illegal or
threatening communications.
Shareholders
wishing to submit a recommendation for board membership may do so by sending a
letter to the board, c/o Corporate Secretary, at Imagenetix’s address listed
above, which is clearly identified as a “Director Nominee Recommendation” and
contains the following information:

biographical sketch and resume of the
candidate;
|
|
·
|
Contact information for the
candidate and the shareholder making the
recommendation;

A document evidencing the
candidate’s willingness to serve as a director if elected;
and
|
|
·
|
A signed statement as to the
submitting shareholder’s current status as a shareholder and the number of
shares currently held.

determined pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R), but excludes any impact of
assumed forfeiture rates. At March 31, 2009, there were options for 80,000
shares of our common stock outstanding to Messrs. Burg and McGonegal each, and
options for 34,000 shares of our common stock outstanding to Mr.
King.
Directors’
Fees.
Each outside director receives $3,600 cash compensation
annually. Mr. McGonegal receives an additional $6,400 for being the
chairperson of the audit committee and Mr. Burg receives an additional $2,025
for being the chairperson of the compensation committee.
Option
Grants.
All of our directors are eligible for grants of
options under our 2000 Plan. As disclosed in the Executive
Compensation and Other Benefits section below, in June 2008 and pursuant to the
2000 Plan, we granted to Mr. and Mrs. Spencer five-year options to purchase
30,000 and 20,000 shares of our common stock each. Also in June 2008, we granted
to Messrs. Burg, King, and McGonegal, as non-employee directors, five-year
options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock each. The exercise price of
each of their options is $0.65 per share, the fair market value of the common
stock on the date of the grant. All of the options granted vest 50% on grant and
50% on the one year anniversary of the grant.
We
estimate the fair value of the options issued to our officers and directors at
the issuance date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following weighted-average assumptions used for those options issued during the
year ended March 31, 2009: dividend yield of zero percent; expected volatility
of 61%, risk-free interest rates of 3.54%; and expected life of 5
years.
PROPOSAL
NO. 2
TO
INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES
ISSUABLE
UNDER OUR STOCK OPTION PLAN
Introduction
In
August 2000 we adopted a Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") which provides for
the grant of stock options intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" and
"nonqualified stock options" (collectively "stock options") within the meaning
of Section 422 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
"Code"). Stock options may be issued to any of our officers, directors, key
employees or consultants.
The
purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain the best available personnel,
provide additional incentives to our employees for superior performance and to
promote the success of our business.
We
initially reserved 800,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan
and in 2004 the shareholders approved an increase to 1,500,000 shares, of which
1,499,000 options have been granted to executive officers, employees and
consultants at prices ranging from $0.31 to $2.00 per share. The Plan is
administered by the Compensation Committee, who reviews the recommendations of
management to determine which individuals shall receive stock options, the time
period during which the stock options may be exercised, the number of shares of
common stock that may be purchased under each stock option and the stock option
price.
The per
share exercise price of incentive stock options may not be less than the fair
market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. The
aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date the stock option is
granted) of the common stock that any person may purchase under an incentive
stock option in any calendar year pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock
options will not exceed $100,000. No person who owns, directly or indirectly, at
the time of the granting of an incentive stock option, more than 10% of the
total combined voting power of all classes of our stock is eligible to receive
incentive stock options under the Plan unless the stock option price is at least
110% of the fair market value of the common stock subject to the stock option on
the date of grant.
No
incentive stock options may be transferred by an optionee other than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of an optionee,
the stock option may only be exercisable by the optionee. Except as otherwise
determined by the Board of Directors, stock options may be exercised only if the
stock option holder remains continuously associated with us from the date of
grant to the date of exercise. The exercise date of a stock option granted under
the Plan may not be later than ten years from the date of grant. Any stock
options that expire unexercised or that terminate upon an optionee's ceasing to
be employed by us will become available once again for issuance. Shares issued
upon exercise of a stock option will rank equally with other shares then
outstanding. No stock options will be granted by us at an exercise price less
than 85% of the fair market value of the stock underlying the option on the date
the option is granted.
In
Support of the Proposal
Stock
options constitute a key part of our incentive and retention programs at
Imagenetix because we believe that equity compensation encourages employees to
act like owners of the business, motivating them to work toward our success and
rewarding their contributions by allowing them to benefit from increases in the
value of our shares.
We also
believe it is in our best interests to increase the number of shares authorized
for issuance under the Plan from 1,500,000 shares to 2,000,000 shares, in order
to satisfy anticipated stock options necessary to attract and retain
personnel.
Vote
Requirements
Our board
recommends a vote
FOR
this proposal to increase the number of shares issuable under out 2000 Plan. The
affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast by the holders of shares
present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to
vote is necessary for approval. Shareholders may vote “FOR,”
“AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” on the approval of the increase proposal. If you ABSTAIN
from voting on the proposal, your abstention has the same effect as a vote
against the proposal. If you hold your shares in street name and do
not provide voting instructions to your broker or nominee, your shares will be
considered to be “broker non-votes” and will not be voted on the proposal as
your broker or nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote under the
rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Therefore, shares represented by a proxy
card indicating any broker non-vote will not be counted in determining whether
the proposal has been approved. Unless a contrary choice is specified
on the proxy card, proxies solicited by our board will be voted
FOR
approval of the increase
proposal.
PROPOSAL
NO. 3
RATIFICATION
OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The
Company is asking the stockholders to ratify the appointment of HJ Associates
& Consultants LLP as the Company’s independent registered accountants for
the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010.
In the
event the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Board of Directors
will reconsider its selection. Even if the selection is ratified, the Board of
Directors, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different
independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the
Board of Directors feels that such a change would be in the Company’s and its
stockholders’ best interests.
HJ
Associates & Consultants LLP has audited the Company’s financial statements
annually since fiscal 2006. Its representatives will be present telephonically
at the Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to
do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Pre-Approval
Policies and Procedures
All
services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm are
subject to pre-approval by our Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has
authorized each of its members to approve services by our independent registered
public accounting firm in the event there is a need for such approval prior to
the next full Audit Committee meeting. The Audit Committee has also adopted
policies and procedures that are detailed as to the particular service and that
do not include delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to
management under which management may engage our independent registered public
accounting firm to render audit or non-audit services. Any interim approval
given by an Audit Committee member and any such engagement by management must be
reported to the Audit Committee no later than its next scheduled meeting. Before
granting any approval, the Audit Committee (or a committee member if applicable)
gives due consideration to whether approval of the proposed service will have a
detrimental impact on the independence of the independent registered public
accounting firm. The Audit Committee pre-approved all services provided by HJ
Associates & Consultants LLP in fiscal 2009 and 2008.

Executive
Compensation Program
Our
executive compensation program has three principal components: base salary,
equity based awards (historically these have been in the form of stock options),
and profit sharing bonuses. Our primary objective in determining base salaries
is to provide a fair but conservative level of compensation to our executive
management that can be sustained through a wide range of industry conditions
without unduly and inappropriately burdening the company during lean conditions.
Our primary objective in granting equity based awards is to provide appropriate
incentive to our executive management to generate long term growth in the value
of the company. Our primary objective in granting profit sharing bonuses is to
reward executive management for their successes in generating profitability and
positive cash flow. We believe that these three components to our executive
compensation program are complementary to each other and provide a balance of
long term and short term incentives to management and operational flexibility to
the company that best serves the interests of the company.
Base Salaries.
Historically, base salaries for our executive management have been
adjusted infrequently and typically as a result of changes in responsibilities.
In setting and adjusting base salaries for our executive management, we take
into account the potential impact of the individual on the company and corporate
performance, the skills and experience required by the position, the individual
performance and potential of the executive officer, and market data for
comparable positions in companies in comparable industries and of comparable
development, complexity and size. We believe base salaries for our executive
management have provided fair but conservative minimum compensation relative to
peer companies in our industry.
Equity Based
Awards.
We have granted equity based awards under our 2000 Plan
periodically to achieve an appropriate balance of outstanding options to provide
ongoing incentive to executive management to build value in the company over
time. As indicated above, historically our equity based awards have been in the
form of stock options, and we have no current plans to grant other forms of
equity based awards. The number of stock options we have granted to executives,
including our Chief Executive Officer, has been based upon a number of factors,
including base salary level and how such base salary level relates to those of
other companies in our industry, the number of options previously granted,
individual and corporate performance during the year, the number of options
being granted to other executives, and management’s recommendations. The board
determines the number of options to be granted to an executive based upon its
overall subjective assessment of these factors. There are no formulas, objective
criteria or other established relationships between the factors taken into
account and the number of options granted to the executive.
We
typically grant options on dates we believe the market value of our stock is at
relatively low levels to maximize the incentive offered by the stock option
awards. The designated grant date for all
options
that have been granted has always been the date the award was made. We have had
no historical practice of awarding options on dates near company public releases
of material information, and it is our policy not to do so.
In June
2008 and pursuant to the 2000 Plan, we granted to Mr. and Mrs. Spencer five-year
options to purchase 30,000 and 20,000 shares of our common stock each. Also in
June 2008, we granted to Messrs. Burg, King, and McGonegal, as non-employee
directors, five-year options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock each. The
exercise price of each of their options is $0.65 per share, the fair market
value of the common stock on the date of the grant. All of the options granted
vest 50% on grant and 50% on the one year anniversary of the grant.
Profit Sharing
Bonuses.
Under our executive officer profit sharing program, which the
board adopted in 2009, each executive officer shall receive a bonus equal to six
(6%) of the Company’s net income before taxes and research and development
expenses during the prior fiscal year up to a maximum of fifty (50%) of their
salary. Bonuses are awarded only for years in which we are
profitable.
All
bonuses paid to our named executive officers in 2009 under the profit sharing
programs are reflected in the “Summary Compensation Table” above.
Potential
Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control.
Effective
as of August 7, 2009, we entered into employment agreements with Mr. and
Mrs. Spencer and Mr. Giffhorn to serve as our President and Chief Executive
Officer, Secretary, and Chief Financial Officer, respectively (the
Employees). These employment agreements have 24 month terms with
automatic 24 month renewals. The employment agreements provide that the
Employees may voluntarily terminate their employment with a thirty day written
notice to us. The employment agreements also provide that if the
Employees are involuntarily terminated (excluding for cause), we will pay the
Employees twenty-four months’ salary as severance pay.
The
employment agreements contain change of control provisions that provide
severance pay and other benefits in the event of a change of control. The
Agreements provide for severance payments of three times the executive’s annual
base salary in the event the executive’s employment is terminated, either
voluntarily with “good reason” or involuntarily, during the one-year period
following a change in control. Severance payments to the Employees under the
change of control provisions would be in lieu of any severance otherwise due
them under their employment agreements discussed above.
A change
of control would be deemed to have occurred upon:
|
·
|
the sale or other transfer of all
or substantially all of our
assets;
|
|
·
|
the approval by our shareholders
of a liquidation or dissolution of the
company;
|
|
·
|
any person, other than a bona
fide underwriter, becoming the owner of more than 40% of our outstanding
shares of common stock;
|
|
·
|
a merger, consolidation or
exchange involving the company, but only if our shareholders prior to such
transaction own less than 50% of the combined voting power of the
surviving or acquiring entity following the transaction;
or
|
|
·
|
the current members of our board,
or future members of our board who were approved by at least a majority of
our current board, ceasing to constitute at least a majority of the
board.
|
Compensation
Policies
The board
approves the compensation for our executive officers. With respect to all
eligible recipients, the board also administers our 2000 Plan and determines the
participants and the amount, timing and other terms and conditions of awards
under the Plan.
The
primary compensation policies are to:
|
·
|
establish
the compensation philosophy and policy for our executive
officers;
|
|
·
|
review
and evaluate the performance of the President and Chief Executive Officer
and other executive officers and approve their annual compensation
packages;
|
|
·
|
review
and approve, or recommend to the full board, executive incentive
compensation plans and stock based plans in which executive officers and
members of the board are eligible to
participate;
|
|
·
|
supervise
and oversee the administration of the 2000 Plan;
and
|
|
·
|
have
sole authority to retain and terminate executive compensation
consultants.
|
The
board has not used any compensation consultants in determining or recommending
the amount or form of executive compensation.
AUDIT
COMMITTEE REPORT
Membership
and Role of the Audit Committee
The
current members of the Audit Committee are Mr. McGonegal and Mr. Spencer. Mr.
McGonegal serves as Chairman of the Audit Committee. Mr. McGonegal is

committees regarding their independence. The primary function of the
Audit Committee is to assist the board in fulfilling its oversight
responsibilities by reviewing the financial information that will be provided to
the shareholders and others, the systems of internal and disclosure controls
that management and the board have established, and the audit process, and by
overseeing our accounting and financial reporting processes, the audits of our
financial statements, and our independent registered public accounting
firm. The Audit Committee’s primary duties and responsibilities are
to:
|
·
|
be directly responsible for the
appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of our
independent registered public accounting
firm;
|
|
·
|
approve all engagements of our
independent registered public accounting firm to render audit or non-audit
services prior to such engagement, or pursuant to policies and procedures
that are detailed as to the particular service and that do not include
delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to
management;
|
|
·
|
evaluate our quarterly financial
performance as well as our compliance with laws and
regulations;
|
|
·
|
oversee management’s
establishment and enforcement of financial policies and business
practices;
|
|
·
|
review and determine approval of
all related party transactions required to be disclosed by us under SEC
rules and regulations;
|
|
·
|
Establish procedures for the
receipt, retention and treatment of complaints we receive regarding
accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and for the
confidential, anonymous submission by our employees of concerns regarding
questionable accounting or auditing
matters;
|
|
·
|
investigate any matter brought to
its attention within the scope of its duties;
and
|
|
·
|
provide an open avenue of
communication among the independent registered public accounting firm,
financial and senior management, counsel, internal audit
personnel and our
board.
|
All
services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm, H.J.
& Associates and Consulting LLP, are subject to pre-approval by our Audit
Committee. The Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures are
described below under the caption “Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm—Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.”
Review
of Our Audited Financial Statements for the Fiscal Year ended March 31,
2009
The Audit
Committee has reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 with management. The Audit Committee
has discussed with HJ Associates & Consultants LLP, our independent
registered public accounting firm, the matters required to be discussed by
Statement on Auditing Standards Nos. 61, as amended (Communication with Audit
Committees), and 90 (Audit Committee Communications).
The Audit
Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from HJ
Associates & Consultants LLP regarding their independence as required by
applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board for
independent auditor communications with audit committees.
Based on
the Audit Committee’s review and discussions noted above, the Audit Committee
recommended to our board that our audited financial statements be included in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 for
filing with the SEC.
