General
The Company is led and controlled by the Board of Directors, chaired by Harry Hyman, with two Executive Directors
and three independent Non-Executive Directors. The Chairman is responsible for leadership of the Board and
ensuring its effectiveness in all aspects of its role. The Non-Executive Directors constructively challenge and help
develop proposals on strategy. The Board has adopted a formal schedule of matters specifically reserved to the
Board for its decision concerning key areas across the Group's activities, thereby ensuring that all major decisions
affecting the Group are taken at Board level. This list of matters reserved to the Board can be found
here.
The Directors recognise the importance of sound corporate governance commensurate with the size and nature of the
Company and the interests of its Shareholders. The Directors therefore intend to comply with the principles of the
Quoted Companies Alliance Corporate Governance Code for Small and Mid-Size Quoted Companies ("QCA Code").
The UK Corporate Governance Code does not apply to companies quoted on AIM.

The audit committee comprises three independent Non-Executive Directors and meets at least twice each year. The
audit committee is chaired by Chris Spencer and the other members are Quentin Spicer and Harry Hyman.

Company, including its annual and interim accounts and the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls and risk
management systems; (ii) auditors'

and advises the Board on, risk management and control systems and the implementation of codes of conduct. In

the QCA Code), recommendations to the Board with regard to any changes of the Directors and maintenance of an
appropriate succession plan for Directors. In addition, the remuneration and nomination committee prepares an
annual report on the remuneration and nomination policies of the Company. The remuneration of the Non-Executive
