Audit Committee and Charter
We do not have a separately designated audit committee of the board. Audit committee functions are performed by our board of directors, all of whom are deemed independent as they do not hold positions as officers of our Company. Our audit committee is responsible for:
(1)
Selection and oversight of our independent accountant;
(2)
Establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters;
(3)
Establishing procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by our employees of concerns regarding accounting and auditing matters;
(4)
Engaging outside advisors; and,
(5)
Funding for the outside auditory and any outside advisors engagement by the audit committee.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
None of our directors or officers have the qualifications or experience to be considered a financial expert. We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because of our limited operations, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
As of the date of this report, we are not subject to section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
