The Audit Committee, which has Terms of Reference agreed by the board and available to shareholders on request, meets at least three times a year to: review the company's accounting policies; to monitor the integrity of the company's financial statements and announcements; to review internal control and risk management systems and compliance procedures; and to make recommendations to the board to be put to shareholders for their approval in general meeting in relation to the appointment, re-appointment and removal of the external auditor and to approve the remuneration and terms of engagement of the external auditor.
 
During 2008 the committee met three times with each committee member attending all meetings. A full systems review was carried out by the auditors, shortly after the company's shares were listed on AIM, and a detailed report was made to the committee. Meetings are attended, by invitation, by the managing director and the commercial director .
