EXPLANATORY NOTE





This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the “Amendment”) is filed by Global Telecom & Technology, Inc.. (“we,” “us,” “our,”, and the “Company”) to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 19, 2013 . The purpose of the Amendment is to include the information required by Items 10 through 14 of Part III of our Form 10-K. This information was previously omitted from our Form 10-K in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information in the above referenced items to be incorporated in our Form 10-K by reference from our definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after our fiscal year-end. We are filing this Amendment to include Part III information in our Form 10-K because a definitive proxy statement containing such information was not filed by April 30, 2013.





In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), new Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2 are furnished herewith. This Amendment does not amend or otherwise update any other information in our Form 10-K and our consolidated financial statements have therefore been omitted. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K and with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of our Form 10-K.

Information Relating to Corporate Governance and the Board of Directors





The Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board of Directors has determined, after considering all the relevant facts and circumstances, that each of Messrs. Bruno, Janzen, O’Brien,


3





Hackman, and Smith are independent directors, as “independence” is defined in the federal securities laws and the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.





Our bylaws authorize our Board of Directors to appoint among its members one or more committees, each consisting of one or more directors. Our Board of Directors has established three standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Governance Committee.





Our Board of Directors has adopted charters for the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committees describing the authority and responsibilities delegated to each committee by the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has also adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and a Whistleblower Policy. We post on our website, at www.gt-t.net, the charters of our Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committees and our Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Whistleblower Policy. These documents are also available in print to any stockholder requesting a copy in writing from our corporate secretary at our executive offices set forth in this report. We intend to disclose on our website any amendments to or waivers of a provision of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics made with respect to our directors or executive officers.





Interested parties may communicate with our Board of Directors or specific members of our Board of Directors, including our independent directors and the members of our various board committees, by submitting a letter addressed to the Board of Directors of Global Telecom & Technology, Inc. c/o any specified individual director or directors at the address listed herein. Any such letters will be sent to the indicated directors.





The Audit Committee





The purpose of the Audit Committee is (i) to oversee the accounting and financial and reporting processes of our Company and the audits of the financial statements of our Company, (ii) to provide assistance to our Board of Directors with respect to its oversight of the integrity of the financial statements of our Company, our Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, and the performance of our Company’s internal audit function, if any, and independent registered public accounting firm, and (iii) to prepare the report required by the rules promulgated by the SEC. The primary responsibilities of the Audit Committee are set forth in its charter and include various matters with respect to the oversight of our Company’s accounting and financial reporting process and audits of the financial statements of our Company on behalf of our Board of Directors. The Audit Committee also selects the independent registered public accounting firm to conduct the annual audit of the financial statements of our Company; reviews the proposed scope of such audit; reviews accounting and financial controls of our Company with our financial accounting staff; and, unless otherwise delegated by our Board of Directors to another committee, reviews and approves transactions between us and our directors, officers, and their affiliates.





The Audit Committee currently consists of Messrs. Bruno, Smith, and Delepine, each of whom is an independent director of our Company under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and under rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Board of Directors previously determined that all members of the Audit Committee meet the requirements for financial literacy and that Mr. Bruno qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Mr. Bruno serves as the Chairman of the Audit Committee.





The Compensation Committee





The purpose of the Compensation Committee includes determining, or recommending to our Board of Directors for determination, the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and any other executive officer of our Company who reports directly to the Board of Directors, and the members of the Board of Directors; determining, or recommending to the Board of Directors for determination, the compensation of


4





all other executive officers of our Company; and discharging the responsibilities of our Board of Directors relating to our Company’s compensation programs and compensation of our Company’s executives. In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Compensation Committee shall also be entitled to delegate any or all of its responsibilities to a subcommittee of the Compensation Committee. Information regarding our Company’s processes and procedures for the consideration and determination of executive and director compensation is addressed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis below. The Compensation Committee currently consists of Messrs. Janzen, Hackman, and Smith. Mr. Janzen serves as the Chairman of the Compensation Committee.





The Nominating and Governance Committee





The purpose of the Nominating and Governance Committee includes selecting, or recommending to our Board of Directors for selection, the individuals to stand for election as directors at each annual meeting of our stockholders or, if applicable, a special meeting of our stockholders, overseeing the selection and composition of committees of our Board of Directors, overseeing our management continuity planning processes, and reviewing and updating our corporate governance policies, as applicable. The Nominating and Governance Committee identifies and reviews the qualifications of new director nominees consistent with selection criteria established by our Board of Directors and recommends the slate of nominees for inclusion in our Company’s proxy statement. The Nominating and Governance Committee’s process for selecting nominees to our Board of Directors is described in more detail under “Nominating and Governance Committee’s Process for Selecting Nominees to the Board of Directors” below. The Nominating and Governance Committee is also responsible for conducting the periodic evaluation of the performance of our Board of Directors and its committees and for considering questions of independence and possible conflicts of interest of members of our Board of Directors and executive officers. The Nominating and Governance Committee currently consists of Messrs. Delepine, Janzen and O’Brien. Mr. Delepine serves as the Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee.





Nominating and Governance Committee’s Process for Selecting Nominees to the Board of Directors





The Nominating and Governance Committee considers candidates for membership to our Board of Directors who are suggested by its members and other Board of Directors members, as well as by management, stockholders and other interested parties. The Nominating and Governance Committee may also retain a third-party search firm to identify candidates from time to time upon request of the Nominating and Governance Committee or the Board of Directors.





Stockholders can recommend a prospective nominee for our Board of Directors by writing to our Corporate Secretary at our Company’s corporate headquarters setting forth, as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director (a) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (b) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (c) a description of the capital stock of our Company owned beneficially or of record by the person, and (d) any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement, and whatever additional supporting material the stockholder considers appropriate. Any stockholder nominating a person for election as a director shall provide our Company’s Corporate Secretary with (1) the name and record address of such stockholder, (2) a description of the capital stock of our Company owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder, (3) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by such stockholder, (4) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the persons named in its notice, and (5) any other information relating to such stockholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement. Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected.





The Nominating and Governance Committee’s assessment of a nominee’s qualification for Board of Directors membership includes, among other things, the following criteria:


5





●
The diversity, age, background and experience of the candidate;


●
The personal qualities and characteristics, accomplishments and reputation in the business community of the candidate;


●
The knowledge and contacts of the candidate in the communities in which we conduct business and in our industry or other industries relevant to our business;


●
The ability and expertise of the candidate in various activities deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors; and


●
The fit of the candidate’s skills, experience and personality with those of other directors in maintaining an effective, collegial and responsive Board of Directors.





The initial determination to seek a Board of Directors candidate is usually based on the need for additional Board of Directors members to fill vacancies or to expand the size of the Board of Directors, although the decision can also be based on the need for certain skill sets or qualifications, such as financial expertise. The Nominating and Governance Committee’s process for identifying and evaluating nominees for director is the same no matter who makes the recommendation.





Once the Nominating and Governance Committee has determined, in consultation with other board members if appropriate, that additional consideration of a candidate is warranted, the Nominating and Governance Committee may, or it may request third parties to, gather additional information about the prospective candidate’s background, experience and independence. Following review of this information, if the Nominating and Governance Committee determines it is appropriate to proceed, the Nominating and Governance Committee or other members of the Board of Directors will generally interview the prospective candidate. The Nominating and Governance Committee then evaluates the prospective nominee against the standards and qualifications set forth above and such other relevant factors that the Nominating and Governance Committee or the Board of Directors deems appropriate, including the current composition of the board and the candidate’s personal qualities, skills, characteristics and experience. Although we do not have a formal diversity policy, to foster and maintain a diversity of viewpoints, backgrounds and experiences on the Board of Directors, the Nominating and Governance Committee evaluates the mix of personal qualities, skills, characteristics and experience of the directors and assesses the nominees and potential candidates in the context of the current composition of the Board of Directors and our requirements.





Following this evaluation, if the Nominating and Governance Committee believes that the prospective candidate is qualified for nomination, generally the Nominating and Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the full Board of Directors, and the full Board of Directors will make the final determination whether the candidate should be nominated to the Board of Directors.





Board Leadership Structure





Our Chairman of the Board position is separate from the position of Chief Executive Officer. Separating these positions allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on our day-to-day business, while allowing the Chairman of the Board to lead our Board of Directors in its fundamental role of providing advice to, and oversight of, management. Our Board recognizes the time, effort and energy that the Chief Executive Officer is required to devote to his position in the current business environment, as well as the commitment required to serve as our Chairman, particularly as the Board’s oversight responsibilities continue to grow. Our Board believes that having separate positions is the appropriate leadership structure for our Company at this time and allows each of the positions to be carried out more effectively than if one person were tasked with both the day-to-day oversight of our business as well as leadership of our Board. Our Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer work closely together to set the agenda for meetings of the Board of Directors and stockholders and to facilitate information flow between the Board of Directors and management.





6





Our Board of Directors has the necessary flexibility to determine whether the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer should be held by the same person or by separate persons based on the leadership needs of our Company at any particular time.





Role of the Board of Directors in Risk Oversight





The Board of Directors has an active role in overseeing our risk management. In this regard, the Board of Directors regularly reviews and discusses information presented by management regarding our business and operations risks, including information and risks related to our long-term business strategy, actual and planned financial position and operational performance, industry trends and their potential impact on us, our competitive positioning, potential acquisitions and divestitures, our technology and market direction and regulatory and compliance matters, among others. The Board also reviews and approves corporate goals and budgets on an annual basis. While the Board of Directors has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process, various committees of the Board also have responsibility for risk management, as described below. Senior management regularly reports to the Board or the appropriate Committee of the Board on areas of material risk to our Company, which may include financial, legal and regulatory risks, and operational and strategic risks.





The Audit Committee oversees management of financial risks, including but not limited to accounting matters, tax positions, insurance coverage and security of our Company’s cash reserves. In particular, the Audit Committee focuses on financial risk, including internal controls, and receives an annual risk assessment report from our Company's internal auditors. The Audit Committee discusses with management major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including our risk assessment and risk management policies. The Compensation Committee oversees risk management as it relates to our compensation plans, policies and practices in connection with structuring our executive compensation programs and reviewing our incentive compensation programs for other employees, and in this regard the Compensation Committee strives to create incentives that encourage a level of risk-taking behavior consistent with our Company's business strategy. The Compensation Committee discusses with management whether our compensation programs may create incentives for our employees to take excessive or inappropriate risks which could have a material adverse effect on our Company. The Nominating and Governance Committee manages risks associated with the independence and possible conflicts of interest of the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Governance Committee charter also requires the Nominating and Governance Committee to review our Company’s risk exposure relating to its functions and to provide guidance to the Board regarding its overall risk oversight responsibilities. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board of Directors is regularly informed about such risks by committee reports as well as advice and counsel from expert advisors.





Board and Committee Meetings





Our Board of Directors held a total of 8 meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, in addition to taking action by unanimous written consent on 2 occasions. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the Audit Committee held a total of 6 meetings, the Compensation Committee held a total of 9 meetings and the Nominating and Governance Committee held 3 meetings. During 2012, no director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of our Board of Directors, and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all Committees of our Board of Directors on which he was a member. We encourage each of our directors to attend the annual meeting of stockholders. Two members of our Board of Directors were present at our 2012 annual meeting.





Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance





Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, officers, and persons that own more than 10% of a registered class of our Company’s equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors, and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC


7





regulations to furnish our Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon our review of the copies of such forms received by us during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, we believe that each person who, at any time during such fiscal year, was a director, officer, or beneficial owner of more than 10% of our common stock complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements during such fiscal year.





ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION





Compensation Discussion and Analysis





Executive Summary. During 2012, our management team accomplished many performance goals. GTT successfully integrated an acquisition, expanded its core network assets, grew distribution channels, and completed its strongest sales year. Revenue increased to $107.9 million, an 18.3% increase over 2011. These accomplishments demonstrate a substantial effort and achievement by our management and establish the basis for the bonuses our Compensation Committee approved for 2012. In addition, the goals established for 2012 are based in part on the continued momentum of our management in accomplishing growth. The Company maintains two equity compensation plans, the 2011 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan and the 2006 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan, which we refer to collectively as the Equity Incentive Plan.





We have prepared the following Compensation Discussion and Analysis to provide you with information that we believe is necessary to understand our executive compensation policies and decisions as they relate to the compensation of our named executive officers as identified in our Summary Compensation Table.





Objectives. We operate in a highly competitive and challenging environment. To attract, retain, and motivate qualified executive officers, we aim to establish wages and salaries that are competitive with those of executives employed by similar firms in our operating industries. Another objective of our compensation policies is to motivate employees by aligning their interests with those of our stockholders through equity incentives, thereby giving them a stake in our growth and prosperity and encouraging the continuance of their services with us or our subsidiaries. Given our relative size, we have determined to take a simple approach to compensating our named executive officers and to avoid other forms of compensation, such as awards under long-term cash incentive plans, non-qualified defined benefit plans and pension plans.





Our compensation program is designed to reward performance, both individual performance and the performance of our Company as a whole. While base salaries for our executives should reflect the marketplace for similar positions, a significant portion of their compensation is earned based on our financial performance and the financial performance of each executive’s area of responsibility. In March 2012, we established, and our Compensation Committee approved, quantifiable performance objectives for our Chief Executive Officer and members of our senior leadership team related to our 2012 performance. These objectives are described in greater detail under Annual Incentives (Cash Bonuses) below. We strongly believe in measurement of quantifiable results and this emanates from our belief that sustained strong financial performance is an effective means of enhancing long-term stockholder value.





Compensation Program Administration and Policies. The Compensation Committee, which is comprised exclusively of independent directors, has general responsibility for executive compensation and benefits, including incentive compensation and equity-based plans. Specific salary and bonus levels, as well as the amount and timing of equity grants, are determined on a case-by-case basis and reflect our overall compensation objectives as our desire to retain and motivate our employees manifests itself in how compensation is allocated to our named executive officers. Initial compensation elements for our named executive officers were established in employment agreements each has entered into with us. Those employment agreements provide for specified salaries (consistent with our objectives with respect to compensation) and some of them also contemplate potential bonus awards and equity grants to be awarded


8





at the discretion of the Compensation Committee with reference to both our performance and the performance of the individual executive.





All employment agreements with executives are reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee on an individual case basis. Similarly, the Compensation Committee serves as the administrator of our Equity Incentive Plan, and is authorized to grant equity awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. Finally, the Compensation Committee is responsible under each of the employment agreements to determine the extent to which each executive may be entitled to any bonus payments based upon individual and/or Company performance (as contemplated by the terms of those agreements).





Pay Elements. We provide the following pay elements to our executive officers in varying combinations to accomplish our compensation objectives:


●
Base salary;


●
Annual bonus incentives;


●
Equity-based compensation (e.g., stock options and restricted stock grants) pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan;


●
Certain modest executive perquisites and benefits; and


●
Payments with respect to severance of employment and/or upon change-of-control.








We fix each executive’s base salary at a level we believe enables us to hire and retain individuals in a competitive environment and to reward satisfactory individual performance and a satisfactory level of contribution to our overall business goals. We utilize cash bonuses to reward performance achievements within the past fiscal year, and similarly, we utilize equity-based compensation under our Equity Incentive Plan to provide additional long-term rewards for short-term performance achievements, which we believe encourages similar performance over a longer term.





In order to maintain competitive pay, the Compensation Committee engaged Pearl Meyer & Partners in 2012 to conduct a review of our total compensation program for the executive officers and to provide feedback to management and the Compensation Committee regarding the competitiveness and reasonableness of such compensation structure. Prior to finalizing executive compensation levels and performance incentives for 2013, the Compensation Committee received Pearl Meyer & Partners confirmation that, in its view, our executive pay levels and incentives were within the range of competitive practice. Pearl Meyer & Partners did not provide any additional services to our Company during 2012.


Each compensation element and its purpose are further described below.





Base Salary. Base salary is intended to compensate the executive for the basic market value of the position and the responsibilities of that position relative to other positions in our Company. The base salary for each of our executives is initially established through negotiation at the time of hire, based on such factors as the duties and responsibilities of the position, the individual executive’s experience and qualifications, the executive’s prior salary and competitive salary information. Generally, the Chief Executive Officer will recommend annual base salary (and changes thereto) with respect to the other executives to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee will determine the Chief Executive Officer’s base salary by reference to the same criteria.





We annually review our base salaries, and may adjust them from time to time based on market trends. We also review the applicable executive’s responsibilities, performance and experience. We do not provide formulaic base salary increases to our executives. If necessary, we realign base salaries with market levels for the same positions in companies of similar size to us represented in compensation data we review, if we identify significant market changes in our data analysis. Additionally, we intend to adjust base salaries as warranted throughout the year for promotions or other changes in the scope or breadth of an executive’s role or responsibilities.


9





In the first Quarter of 2013, the Compensation Committee approved base salaries for our executive officers. The 2013 base salaries for our executive officers reflect the annual review based on performance, compensation of market comparables and promotional increases.





Annual Incentives (Cash Bonuses). We provide a cash bonus opportunity to all of our executive officers. We pay bonuses for the previous fiscal year generally after the filing of our audited financials with the SEC. Generally, bonuses are payable to the extent provided in the employment agreements negotiated with individual executives as approved by the Compensation Committee. Those employment agreements that provide for the payment of cash bonuses contemplate that they are based upon an evaluation of both our Company’s performance and the performance of the individual executive and/or at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. Individual performance is measured based on the achievement of quantifiable performance objectives established by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of our fiscal year. We believe linking cash bonuses to both Company and individual performance will motivate executives to focus on our annual revenue growth, profitability, cash flow and liquidity, which we believe should improve long-term stockholder value over time.





In March 2012, the Compensation Committee met to determine the performance objectives for the bonus payments to our senior executives. The target bonus payments would be made based on achievement of 2012 goals as follows: 20% based on revenue plan attainment, 20% based on net sales plan attainment, 40% based on adjusted EBITDA attainment and 20% based on personal performance objectives. For employees other than senior executives, the payments would be based on a different combination of attainment of the same goals.





Equity-Based Compensation. Each employment agreement with our named executive officers provides for certain specified initial grants of restricted stock and/or stock options. Our Compensation Committee believes that granting additional shares of restricted stock and/or stock options on an annual basis to existing executives provides an important incentive to retain executives and rewards them for our short-term performance while also creating long-term incentives to sustain that performance. Generally, grants of restricted stock and stock options vest over four years and no shares or options vest before the first day of the succeeding fiscal year (the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the options were actually granted).





Equity Granting Policy. We do not have any practice, policy, or program allowing for timing of equity grants in relation to our current stock price or material non-public information. We expect that we will typically approve equity awards to current employees during the first Compensation Committee meeting of each year. The grant date for stock option grants is the date upon which the Compensation Committee approves the grant of stock options to the particular employee. The Compensation Committee gave Mr. Calder the authority to grant equity awards for employee promotions and new hires of our Company up to 20,000 shares per employee. The grant date for equity awards made by Mr. Calder is generally the first day of the month following the month in which the employee was promoted or our new employee began his or her employment. The exercise price for stock option grants is set in accordance with the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan, which establishes the price as fair market valued determined by reference to the closing price of the common stock on the day preceding the grant.





Executive Perquisites and Benefits. Our philosophy is to provide executives with limited perquisites. The value of the perquisites (if any) and benefits provided to our named executive officers is set forth in the Summary Compensation table of this prospectus, and their aggregate cost for all of our executives in 2012 was $49,393.





Payments with Respect to Severance of Employment and/or Upon Change of Control. The employment agreement between us and Richard Calder, our Chief Executive Officer, Chris McKee, our General Counsel and Michael Bauer, our Chief Financial Officer contains certain terms and conditions relating to payments, accelerated vesting of option and restricted stock grants, and continuation of health benefits in the event of the severance of employment with us or upon our change of control. The specific


10





terms and conditions relating to severance payments and accelerated vesting of option and restricted stock grants for Mr. Calder, Mr. McKee and Mr. Bauer are summarized below and graphically displayed in the section entitled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control.”

Overview of Director Compensation





We compensated non-employee members of our Board of Directors through a mixture of cash and equity-based compensation. We paid each non-employee director annualized compensation of $35,000, paid in four equal installments at the end of each calendar quarter during which the non-employee director served as a member of our Board of Directors. Each chairperson of a standing committee received additional annualized compensation of $5,000, paid in four equal installments at the end of each calendar quarter during which the director served as the chairperson of the particular committee. We reimbursed our directors for reasonable travel and other expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of our Board of Directors.





All retainers and meeting fees were paid in cash, stock or a mixture of cash and stock, at each director’s election. Employees who also serve as directors received no additional compensation for their services as a director.

The firm of J.H. Cohn LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the consolidated financial statements of our Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our Company anticipates that J.H. Cohn LLP will provide assistance during 2013 with respect to review of our Company’s quarterly filings with the SEC.




The aggregate fees billed to our Company by J.H. Cohn LLP for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

Audit Fees consist of fees incurred for the audits of our annual financial statements and the review of our interim financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the first three quarters of each fiscal year.(2)

Audit-Related Fees consist of fees incurred for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under the category “Audit Fees.”





The charter of our Audit Committee provides that the duties and responsibilities of our Audit Committee include the pre-approval of all audit, audit-related, tax, and other services permitted by law or applicable SEC regulations (including fee and cost ranges) to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. Any pre-approved services that will involve fees or costs exceeding pre-approved levels will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Unless otherwise specified by the Audit Committee in pre-approving a service, the pre-approval will be effective for the 12-month period following pre-approval. The Audit Committee will not approve any non-audit services prohibited by applicable SEC regulations or any services in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent registered public accounting firm, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported by the Code and related regulations.





To the extent deemed appropriate, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to the Chairman of the Audit Committee or any one or more other members of the Audit Committee provided that any member of the Audit Committee who has exercised any such delegation must report any such pre-approval decision to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee will not delegate to management the pre-approval of services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm.





Our Audit Committee requires that our independent registered public accounting firm, in conjunction with our Chief Financial Officer, be responsible for seeking pre-approval for providing services to us and that any request for pre-approval must inform the Audit Committee about each service to be provided and must provide detail as to the particular service to be provided.





The Audit Committee oversees our Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of its financial statements, including the performance and compensation of our Company’s independent auditor. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the


24





reporting process, including the systems of internal controls and the certification of the integrity and reliability of our Company’s internal controls procedures. 
 In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed our Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and our Company’s Sarbanes-Oxley implementation plan with our Company’s management. The Audit Committee alsoreviewed with J.H. Cohn LLP, our Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the results of their audit. The Audit Committee has also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 Communication with Audit Committees, as amended, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T. This discussion included, among other things, the quality of our Company’s accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant estimates and judgments, and the clarity of disclosure in our Company’s financial statements, including the disclosures related to critical accounting policies and practices used by our Company. The Audit Committee has reviewed permitted services under the rules of the SEC as currently in effect and discussed with J.H. Cohn LLP their independence from management and our Company, including the matters in the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3526 Communication with Audit Committees, and has considered and discussed the compatibility of non-audit services provided by J.H. Cohn LLP with that firm’s independence. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed the rules of the SEC that pertain to the Audit Committee and the roles and responsibilities of Audit Committee members.





Based on its review of the financial statements and the aforementioned discussions, the Audit Committee concluded that it would be reasonable to recommend, and on that basis did recommend, to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
