The Board of Directors and Its Committees
The board of directors held eight meetings
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. No current director
attended fewer than 80% of the total number of meetings held
by the board or committees of the board on which he served.
Directors are expected to attend all meetings. All of our
directors are expected to attend the Annual Meeting. Five
directors attended last years Annual Meeting. The board
of directors currently has three standing committees: the
audit committee, the compensation committee and the nominating
committee. The committees receive their authority and assignments
from the board of directors and report to the board of directors.
Each committee operates under a charter that has been approved
by the board of directors. Three members of the board are
independent. Stockholders who wish to communicate with one
or more directors may do so by mailing such communications
to the Companys principal offices 107 Audubon Road,
#5, Wakefield, MA 01880, attention: Diane Ryan, Chief Financial
Officer. The Chief Financial Officer will then relay all communications
to the appropriate director(s).
Director Independence
The Board has reviewed each of the directors relationships
with the Company in conjunction with Section 121 (A) of the
listing standards of the American Stock Exchange (AMEX)
and has affirmatively determined that three of our directors,
Michael Turmelle, Dr. Michael Szycher and David Eisenhaure,
are independent of management and free of any relationship
that would interfere with their independent judgment as members
of the Audit Committee.
Audit Committee
The Board has designated from among its members an Audit Committee,
which consists of Mr. Michael Turmelle (Chairman), Dr. Michael
Szycher and Mr. David Eisenhaure, all of whom are independent
members under the AMEX listing standards. Mr. Turmelle meets
the requirements to qualify as an audit committee financial
expert as defined in 401(h) of Regulation S-K. The Audit
Committee has the responsibility to ascertain that the Companys
financial statements reflect fairly the financial condition
and operating results of the Company and to appraise the soundness,
adequacy and application of accounting and operating controls.
The Audit Committee recommends the independent auditors to
the Board, reviews the scope of the audit functions of the
independent auditors and reviews the audit reports. The Audit
Committee is responsible for pre-approving all audit related
services and fees. The Audit Committee held a meeting each
quarter during fiscal 2006. The responsibilities of the Audit
Committee are outlined in a written charter available for
review on the Companys website: www.implantsciences.com.
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee, which met one time during fiscal
2006, had two members, Mr. David Eisenhaure (Chairman) and
Mr. Michael Turmelle both of whom are independent board members
under the AMEX listing standards. The Compensation Committee
reviews and determines on both an annual and an as-needed
basis the compensation of the Companys chief executive
officer (the CEO). The Compensation Committee
determines all elements of the CEOs compensation, including
salary, bonus, options, benefits and all other aspects of
the total compensation package based on the compensation earned
by a CEO in a similar corporation and industry. Additional
responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are outlined
in a written charter available for review on the Companys
website: www.implantsciences.com.
No person serving on the Compensation Committee at any time
during fiscal 2006 was a present or former officer or employee
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. During fiscal 2006,
other than Dr. Armini, no executive officer of the Company
served as a member of the board of directors or compensation
committee (or other board committee performing equivalent
functions) of another entity. In addition, none of the members
of the Compensation Committee had any relationships with the
Company or any other entity that require disclosure under
the proxy rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. During
fiscal 2006, Dr. Armini served on the board of directors of
CardioTech International, one of whose executive officers
served on the Companys Board or Compensation Committee
as well as on the board of directors of CorNova.
Nominating Committee
The members of the nominating committee are Messrs. Szycher,
Eisenhaure and Turmelle. The committee selects nominees for
election as our directors. The committee will give the same
consideration to a nominee for election to the board of directors
recommended by a stockholder of record if such recommendation
is timely in accordance with, and is accompanied by the information
required by, our By-laws. The nominating committee met two
times during fiscal 2006.
Code of Conduct and Ethics
Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Ethics which
is applicable to all our directors, officers, employees, agents
and representatives, including our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, principal accounting officer
or controller, or other persons performing similar functions.
We have made available on our website copies of our Code of
Ethics and charters for the committees of our Board and other
information that may be of interest to investors.
