In September 2003 we adopted a Code of Conduct that
applies to all directors, officers and employees of the
company. This includes a discussion of procedures that
employees should follow if they believe they have
knowledge of a violation of the Code of Conduct.

The company's whistle blowing policy
To meet and to comply with, amongst other things, the new corporate governance directives of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we have adopted procedures to receive, retain, and treat complaints from employees and others regarding concerns about questionable accounting, internal accounting controls, or other auditing matters. Complaints or concerns may be reported directly to the Audit Committee by one of the following means:
Employees (The following is an extract from our Code of Conduct. You can download a complete copy of our Code here.)
"We have a strong commitment to conduct our business in a lawful and ethical manner. We encourage our employees to talk to supervisors, managers or other appropriate personnel when in doubt about the best course of action in a particular situation and to report violations of laws, rules and regulations of this Code of Conduct. We prohibit retaliatory action against any employee, who, in good faith, reports a possible violation. It is unacceptable to file a report knowing it to be false.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") requires all publicly traded companies to establish procedures for the receipt and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters. The Act also requires employees to confidentially and anonymously report concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. This includes any circumstances where it is believed that fraud or other irregularities may be occurring within the Company.
Any persons wishing to report such accounting issues can be assured the situation will be handled with the highest level of anonymity and confidentiality. In addition, there is a high level of protection granted under the Act to persons reporting incidents. The Act states that the Company may not discharge, harass or in any manner discriminate against any individual providing information.
We encourage anyone with information regarding these matters to contact any member of Company's Audit Committee. If you wish to provide information anonymously, please mail it in a sealed envelope addressed to "Audit Committee - Complaint" and place it in a second envelope addressed to the Company's Audit Committee."
