The Audit Committee has adopted a policy regarding the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services to be
provided by our independent accountants. The policy requires that KPMG LLP seek pre-approval by the Audit
Committee of all audit and permissible non-audit services by providing a description of the services to be performed and
specific fee estimates for each such service. The Audit Committee has delegated to the Chairman of the Audit Committee
the authority to pre-approve audit-related and permissible non-audit services and associated fees up to a maximum for
any one audit-related or non-audit service of US$50,000, provided that the Chairman shall report any decisions to pre-
approve such audit-related or non-audit services and fees to the full Audit Committee at its next regular meeting for
ratification. One-hundred percent (100%) of the Audit-Related Fees and Tax Fees billed by KPMG during fiscal 2006
and fiscal 2005 were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
