Corporate Governance

The Board is responsible for formulating, reviewing and approving the Company’s strategies, budgets, major items of capital expenditure and corporate actions.

The Directors have responsibility for, and recognise the importance of implementing and maintaining, high standards of corporate governance, and intend that the company will comply with the QCA Corporate Governance Code in such respects as are appropriate for a company of its size, nature and stage of development. The Takeover Code applies to the Company and governs, inter alia, transactions that may result in a change of control of a company to which the Takeover Code applies.

The Board has established an Audit Committee and a Directors’ Remuneration Committee. The Audit Committee (which is comprised of Tony Sanders and invited guests) is responsible for ensuring that the financial performance of the Company is properly reported on and monitored and for meeting the auditors and reviewing the reports from the auditors relating to accounts and internal control systems. The Directors’ Remuneration Committee (which is comprised of Tony Sanders and invited guests) reviews the performance of executive directors and sets the scale and structure of their remuneration and the terms of their service agreements with due regard to the interests of all shareholders. In addition, the Nominations Committee (comprised of Tony Sanders and any guests for that meeting) makes recommendations on the appointment of further directors to the Board.

The Company operates a share dealing code for Directors as required by the AIM Rules.

The Board has also considered the guidance issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (Commonly known as the Turnball Report) concerning the internal requirements of the Combined Code. The Board intends to regularly review key business and financial risks facing the Group in the operation of its business.

Each year Shareholders are invited to an Annual General Meeting (“AGM”). The AGM is the main shareholder event of the year and provides an opportunity for Shareholders to question the Directors.
