LANVISION SYSTEMS, INC.
10200 Alliance Road, Suite 200
Cincinnati, Ohio 45242-4716
PROXY STATEMENT
        The accompanying proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors (“Board”) of LanVision Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company” or “LanVision”), for use at the 2006 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (“Annual Meeting”). The Annual Meeting will be held on May 24, 2006 at 9:30 a.m., Eastern Time, or any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting will be held at the offices of LanVision Systems, Inc., 10200 Alliance Road, Suite 200, Cincinnati, Ohio 45242-4716. All holders of record of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), on April 3, 2006, the record date, will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the record date, the Company had 9,169,708 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote. A majority, or 4,584,855, of these shares of Common Stock will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.
      The proxy card, this Proxy Statement, and the Company’s fiscal year 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K will be mailed to stockholders on or about April 14, 2006.
Voting Rights and Solicitation of Proxies
      Stockholders are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held. Shares of Common Stock may not be voted cumulatively.
      The shares represented by all properly executed proxies which are timely sent to the Company will be voted as designated and each proxy not designated will be voted affirmatively. Any person signing a proxy in the form accompanying this Proxy Statement has the power to revoke it at any time before the shares subject to the proxy are voted by notifying the Corporate Secretary of the Company in writing or by attendance at the meeting and voting in person.
      The expense of printing and mailing proxy materials will be borne by the Company. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, solicitation may be made by certain directors, officers, and other employees of the Company by personal interview, telephone, or facsimile. No additional compensation will be paid for such solicitation. The Company will request brokers and nominees who hold shares of Common Stock in their names to furnish proxy materials to beneficial owners of the shares and will reimburse such brokers and nominees for the reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding the materials to such beneficial owners.
      The Company’s bylaws provide that the holders of a majority of all of the shares of Common Stock issued, outstanding, and entitled to vote, whether present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Shares that are voted “FOR”, “AGAINST” or “WITHHELD”, as applicable, with respect to a matter are treated as being present at the meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum and are also treated as shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting with respect to such matter. If a broker, bank, custodian, nominee, or other record holder of shares indicates on a proxy that it does not have the discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a particular matter (“broker non-vote”), then those shares will not be considered entitled to vote with respect to that matter, but will be counted in determining the presence of a quorum.
      All shares represented by valid proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted and, where a stockholder specifies by means of the proxy how the shares are to be voted with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted in accordance with the specification so made. If the stockholder fails to so specify, except for broker non-votes, the shares will be voted “FOR” the election of the Board’s nominees as directors and “FOR” the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to change the corporation name to “Streamline Health Solutions, Inc.”

Table of Contents

      J. Brian Patsy, a director and the co-founder of LanVision, and the three other directors of the Company, and the named executive officers, together beneficially own 1,265,498 shares of Common Stock. Messrs. Patsy, Levy, Phillips, and VonderBrink, have each indicated that they intend to vote for the election of all those nominated by the Board for election as directors and for the change in the Company name to Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. For information regarding the ownership of Common Stock by holders of more than five percent of the outstanding shares and by the management of the Company, see “Stock Ownership by Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”
      In accordance with Delaware law, a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available at the Annual Meeting at the offices of LanVision Systems, Inc., 10200 Alliance Road, Suite 200, Cincinnati, Ohio 45242-4716, on May 24, 2006, and for ten days prior to the Annual Meeting, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, at the office of the Company.
PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
      At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders will elect four directors, comprising the entire membership of the Board, each to hold office until a successor is duly elected and qualified at the 2007 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company or otherwise or until any earlier resignation or removal. Shares represented by the accompanying proxy will be voted for the election of the four nominees recommended by the Board, unless the proxy is marked in such a manner as to withhold authority to vote. All nominees standing for reelection are currently serving as members of the Board and have consented to continue to serve. If any nominee for any reason is unable to serve or will not serve, the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominee as the proxyholder may determine. The Company is not aware of any nominee who will be unable or unwilling to serve as a director. LanVision has not implemented a formal policy regarding director attendance at the Annual Meeting. Typically, the Board holds its annual organizational meeting directly following the Annual Meeting, which results in most directors being able to attend the Annual Meeting. All four current directors attended the 2005 Annual Meeting and it is the current expectation that all Directors standing for reelection will attend the 2006 Annual Meeting.
      Provided a quorum is duly constituted at the Annual Meeting, the affirmative vote by the holders of a plurality of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors is required to approve the election of directors. A broker non-vote and a withheld vote are not counted for purposes of electing the directors and will have no effect on the election. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer, will serve as the inspector of election for the election of the directors and the vote on the Company name change.
Nominees For Election As Directors
      The following incumbent directors are being nominated by the Board for reelection to the Board: Richard C. Levy, M.D., J. Brian Patsy, Jonathan R. Phillips, and Edward J. VonderBrink.

The Directors Plan provided for the granting of non-qualified stock options to directors who were not employees of the Company to enable the Company to attract and retain high quality non-employee directors. Currently, 15,000 options have been granted under the Directors Plan to Dr. Levy. No additional options can be granted under the Directors Plan.

      The Board met seven times during fiscal year 2005 and approved actions by unanimous written consent five times. Standing committees of the Board currently include an audit committee and a compensation committee.
      The Board does not have a nominating committee as the Board of Directors has determined that it is not necessary and would have no direct benefit, at this time, because of the small size of the Company. All

nominees for election of directors at the 2006 Annual Meeting were nominated by the unanimous consent of the current Board, including all of the independent Directors. The Board does not have a formal policy for the consideration of Director Candidates. The Board is considering, at this time, increasing the number of directors to the Board of Directors. However, no decision has been made.
      In fiscal year 2005, all current directors attended all meetings of the Board and all committee meetings of the committees on which such directors served during the period for which each such director has been a director. Accordingly, all directors attended more than 75% of such meetings.

The Audit Committee met separately as a committee two times during fiscal year 2005. The Audit Committee also met as part of the whole Board of Directors to review each of the Company’s quarterly and annual financial statements filed on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K with management, prior to the filing of those reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Audit Committee Chairman separately discusses the Company’s financial reports with the auditors on a regular basis before such reports are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee’s functions include the engagement of the Company’s independent auditors, review of the results of the audit engagement and the Company’s financial results, review of the Company’s financial statements by the independent auditors and their opinion thereon, review of the auditors’ independence, review of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls and similar functions and approval of all auditing and non-auditing service performed by the independent auditors for the Company. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. VonderBrink is an audit committee financial expert for the Company and Dr. Levy, Mr. Phillips and Mr. VonderBrink are independent as that term is currently defined in The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. Marketplace Rules.
      The Audit Committee has established procedures through which confidential complaints may be made by employees, directly to the Chairman of the Audit Committee, regarding: illegal or fraudulent activity; questionable accounting, internal controls or auditing matters; conflicts of interest, dishonest or unethical conduct; disclosures in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings that are not accurate; violations of LanVision’s Code of Conduct and Ethics; or any other matters.
      The independent directors, Messrs. Levy (Chairman), Phillips, and VonderBrink, are presently the members of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee met two times during fiscal year 2005. The Compensation Committee reviews the performance of and establishes the salaries and all other compensation of the Company’s executive officers. The Compensation Committee also administers the Company’s 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan and is responsible for recommending grants of Equity Awards under the plan, subject to the approval of the Board.

PROPOSAL 2 — APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT OF THE CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE COMPANY TO
“STREAMLINE HEALTH SOLUTIONS, INC.”
Background
      LanVision Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, LanVision, Inc., have operated under the LanVision name since their inception. The LanVision name initially reflected the Company’s original concept of creating an enterprise wide electronic medical record that could be accessed by authorized personnel through the hospital or other healthcare institution’s intranet. Subsequently, the Company expanded its product and service offerings in a variety of ways, including the offering of software solutions that streamline healthcare processes that allow information to flow seamlessly throughout an organization. The Company anticipates that it will continue to expand into new areas of workflow and document management solutions that address business process improvement initiatives throughout the hospital enterprise.
      In February 2005, the Company adopted “Streamline Health” as its doing business (d/b/a) name but retained “LanVision Systems, Inc’ as its legal corporate name. The name “Streamline Health” was selected after extensive research and study on the Company’s philosophy, mission and target markets. Management believed that the name change would position the Company for enhanced growth in the healthcare marketplace and would allow the Company to capitalize on its specialties. In conjunction with the adoption of “Streamline Health” as the Company’s doing business name, the Company also adopted a new logo and created a new website located at www.streamlinehealth.net.
      Having operated under the “Streamline Health” doing business name for over a year, the Company’s Board of Directors and management have determined that the use of the new name has been successful and has helped the Company establish a stronger brand within its industry. Accordingly, for the reasons set forth above, the Board of Directors has approved, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to “Streamline Health Solutions, Inc.”
Effect of the Amendment
      Attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit 1 is the proposed amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the name change. Stockholders are urged to review Exhibit 1 in considering the amendment.
      If the amendment is approved by stockholders, the effective date of the amendment to change the Company’s legal corporate name will be the date that the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Company expects to file such amendment promptly following the Annual Meeting if the amendment is approved by stockholders.
      Changing the name of the Company will not have any effect on the rights of existing stockholders. The proposed name change will not affect the validity or transferability of currently outstanding stock certificates, and stockholders will not be requested to surrender for exchange any stock certificates they hold. The effect of the change will communicate to all interested parties, including potential stockholders, more accurately the nature of the products and services being offered by the Company.
      Vote Required and Board of Directors’ Recommendation
      The affirmative vote of two thirds of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is required for approval of this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining if a quorum is present but will have the same effect as a negative vote on the proposal.
      The Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” approval of the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to “Streamline Health Solutions, Inc.”

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
      For fiscal year 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board was at all times comprised entirely of non-employee independent directors. The Compensation Committee met two times during fiscal year 2005 and is charged with responsibility for reviewing the performance and establishing the compensation of the Company’s executive officers on an annual basis. The Compensation Committee also administers the Company’s 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan, the Company’s 1996 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan, the Company’s 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan and the Company’s 1996 Stock Purchase Plan and is responsible for recommending grants of equity awards under such plans, unless otherwise directed by the Board.
      The compensation plans provide for each executive officer: an annual salary, a performance-based annual bonus incentive, and equity awards under the existing 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan in order to provide long-term incentives and in order to ensure that management’s long-term interests are aligned with those of other stockholders. The compensation plans also has severance arrangements in place for certain executive officers. The goal of the committee is to provide a methodology for achieving overall compensation that is competitive with other comparably sized technology companies. The compensation plans for Mr. Patsy, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the other named executive officers (Mr. Geers, Bridge and Vick)

were virtually the same for fiscal year 2005 as 2004, except for a modest increase in the base salary in fiscal 2005 and a target revenue bonus that was added in 2005. However, no discretionary bonuses were paid to Mr. Geers or Mr. Vick in 2005 as they were in 2004. On January 27, 2006 the Compensation Committee amended the employment agreements of the named Executive Officers of the Company for the period February 1, 2006 through January 31, 2007 to increase the base salary as noted elsewhere in this Proxy under the heading Employment Agreements and establish the fiscal year 2006 executive bonus arrangement.
      On January 27, 2006, the Compensation Committee adopted executive bonus arrangements for fiscal year 2006. The arrangement is not contained in a formal written plan, but a summary of the plan follows.
      The plan provides for the payment of a specific “target profit” bonus based upon achieving 100% of LanVision’s targeted operating profit (excluding all operating profits resulting from a merger or acquisition in fiscal year 2006) as established by the Compensation Committee. Participating executives will be entitled to payment of 100% of the “target profit” bonus if LanVision achieves 100% of the targeted operating profit. Executives may receive a reduced bonus, provided that LanVision’s actual operating profit is greater than 80% of the targeted operating profit. If the Company achieves 80% or less of the targeted operating profit no profit bonuses are earned under this component of the plan. At greater than 80% but less than 100% of the targeted operating profit, the payments are reduced so that, for example, achieving 90% of the targeted operating profit would result in the payment of only 25% of the target profit bonus. If LanVision exceeds the targeted operating profit, then the bonuses are increased by an accelerated bonus percentage. For example, if LanVision exceeds the targeted operating profit by 100%, then the bonuses earned would be 250% of the “target profit” bonuses. There is no upper limitation of the payment of the bonuses for this component that exceed the targeted operating profit amounts.
      The fiscal year 2005 bonus plan was similar to the 2006 plan noted above. However it also contained a second component. The second component of the plan provided for the payment of a target revenue bonus based upon achieving 100% of targeted revenues, excluding the sale of third party hardware and software. If less than 100% of the targeted revenues were achieved, then no revenue bonus would be earned under this component of the plan. If 100% of the targeted revenues were achieved, then the target revenue bonuses associated with this portion of the plan would have been paid at 100%. If the targeted revenues were exceeded, then the revenue bonuses would be increased by the percentage that the revenues exceed the target revenues. For example, if LanVision had achieved 130% of the targeted revenues, then the bonuses earned would have been 130% of the target revenue bonus. There was no upper limitation of the payment of the bonuses for this component if it exceeded the targeted revenue amounts. No bonus was paid in 2005 for the second component as the target revenue was not achieved. However, the Company exceeded the operating profit target and, accordingly, 2005 bonuses were paid in accordance with the operating profit component of the 2005 plan.
      The fiscal year 2004 and 2003 bonus targets were based upon management’s ability to achieve specific operating results. If the results of operations targets were achieved, then each Executive Officer would receive a specified percentage of a targeted bonus amount established by the Compensation Committee for each Executive Officer. If the target was exceeded, the bonus payable would be a multiple of the excess percent. If the target was not met, the bonus payable would be reduced by a multiple of the percent missed. No Bonuses were earned in fiscal year 2004 and 2003 under these plans.
      In 2002, the Compensation Committee engaged the firm of Towers Perrin to conduct an executive compensation and benefits review of appropriate salary ranges, as well as management incentive plan ranges, etc. Based, in part, on this review as well as revenue and earnings results, the ability to achieve strategic business plans and goals, and evaluations of overall performance, the committee adjusted the total compensation including potential bonuses of the executive officers in 2005 and made additional adjustments, approximating a cost of living increase to some executives, in 2006.
      The Compensation Committee believes that stock options and other equity awards can be an effective incentive to attract and retain Executive Officers and key employees of the Company and to encourage stock ownership by these persons so that they acquire or increase their proprietary interest in the success of the

Compensation Committee Interlocks and insider participation
      The following non-employee directors serve on the Compensation Committee: Jonathan R. Phillips Richard C. Levy, M.D. and Edward J. VonderBrink. No member of the Compensation Committee is or was an officer or employee of the Company or the subsidiary of the Company. No director or Executive Officer of the Company serves on any board of directors or compensation committee that compensates any member of the Compensation Committee.
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
      The Audit Committee, which operates under a Charter approved by the Board of Directors (attached as Appendix A), oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Committee reviewed the audited financial statements that are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K with management, which review included a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.
      The Committee is comprised of the three independent non-employee directors of the Company and held two meetings during fiscal year 2005. The Audit Committee also met as part of the whole Board of Directors to review each of the Company’s quarterly and annual financial statements filed on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K with management, prior to the filing of those reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Committee reviewed with Ernst & Young LLP, the independent auditors, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Committee under generally accepted auditing standards. In particular, the Committee has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP those matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communications with Audit Committees) and the required communications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
      Ernst & Young LLP also provided to the Committee the written disclosures required by Independent Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Committee discussed the independent auditors’ independence with the auditors themselves.
      The Committee discussed with the Company’s independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their audit. The Committee meets with the independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.
      In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and the Board approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Committee has selected Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent auditors for fiscal year 2006.

      In addition, the Audit Committee preapproved the payment of up to $109,000 in audit fees for the above audit and an additional payment of up to $35,000 for tax fees that includes the preparation and review of various tax returns required to be filed by LanVision and $10,000 for consulting services relating to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other miscellaneous tax consulting services. It is the policy of the Audit Committee to preapprove all services provided by Ernst & Young LLP. The Committee also concluded that Ernst & Young LLP’s provision of non-audit services, as described above, to LanVision is compatible with Ernst & Young LLP’s independence.
      In connection with the audit of the fiscal year 2005 financial statements, LanVision entered into an audit engagement agreement with Ernst & Young LLP which set forth the terms by which Ernst & Young LLP would perform the audit services for LanVision. That agreement, which was similar to past engagement letters, is subject to alternative dispute resolution procedures and an exclusion of punitive damages. The Audit Committee has determined that the terms and conditions of the Ernst & Young LLP audit engagement agreement are similar to the other three largest registered public accounting firms, and a common business practice between companies and their audit firms. Although the provisions of the audit engagement agreement limits the ability of the company should a dispute arise, the Company does not believe that such provisions limit the ability of investors to seek redress from the firm.

  •  Review the experience, rotation and qualifications of the senior members of the independent auditors’ team.

  •  Meet with the independent auditors and management of the Company to review the scope of the proposed audit and timely quarterly reviews for the current year and the procedures to be utilized, the adequacy of the independent auditor’s compensation, and at the conclusion thereof review such audit or review, including any comments or recommendations of the independent auditors.
 
  •  Review with the independent auditors and financial and accounting personnel, the adequacy and effectiveness of the accounting and financial controls of the Company, and elicit any recommendations for the improvement of such internal controls or particular areas where new or more detailed controls or procedures are desirable. Particular emphasis should be given to the adequacy of internal controls to expose any payments, transactions, or procedures that might be deemed illegal or otherwise improper. Further, the Audit Committee periodically should review Company policy statements to determine their adherence to the code of conduct.
 
  •  Review reports received from regulators and other legal and regulatory matters that may have a material effect on the financial statements or related Company compliance policies.
 
  •  Inquire of management and the independent auditors about significant risks or exposures and assess the steps management has taken to minimize such risks to the Company.
 
  •  Receive communication from the independent auditors prior to the filing of the Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as applicable, regarding the matters described in SAS No. 61 including significant adjustments, management judgments and accounting estimates, significant new accounting policies, disagreements with management and any other matters required to be communicated to the Audit Committee when they have been identified in the conduct of interim financial reporting review. The Chairman of the Audit Committee may represent the entire Audit Committee for purposes of this review.
 
  •  Review the financial statements contained in the annual report to shareholders with management and the independent auditors to determine that the independent auditors are satisfied with the disclosure and content of the financial statements to be presented to the shareholders. Review with financial management and the independent auditors the results of their timely analysis of significant financial reporting issues and practices, including changes in, or adoptions of, accounting principles and disclosure practices, and discuss any other matters required to be communicated to the committee by the auditors. Also review with financial management and the independent auditors their judgments about the quality, not just acceptability, of accounting principles and the clarity of the financial disclosure practices used or proposed to be used, and particularly, the degree of aggressiveness or conservatism of the organization’s accounting principles and underlying estimates, and other significant decisions made in preparing the financial statements.
 
  •  Review and discuss with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer all matters such officers are required to certify in connection with the Company’s Forms 10-Q and 10-K or other filings or reports.
 
  •  Provide sufficient opportunity for the independent auditors to meet with the members of the Audit Committee without members of management present. Among the items to be discussed in these meetings are the independent auditors’ evaluation of the Company’s financial and accounting, personnel, and the cooperation that the independent auditors received during the course of audit.
 
  •  Review accounting and financial human resources and succession planning within the Company.
 
  •  Report the results of the annual audit to the Board of Directors. If requested by the Board of Directors, invite the independent auditors to attend the full Board of Directors meeting to assist in reporting the results of the annual audit or to answer other directors’ questions (alternatively, the other directors may be invited to attend the Audit Committee meeting during which the results of the annual audit are reviewed).
 
  •  On an annual basis, obtain from the independent auditors a written communication delineating all their relationships and professional services as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1,

  Independence Discussions with Audit Committees. In addition, review with the independent auditors the nature and scope of any disclosed relationships or professional services and take, or recommend that the board of directors take, appropriate action to ensure the continuing independence of the auditors.
 
  •  Pre-approve all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for the Company by the independent auditors. The Committee shall establish policies and/or guidelines for the permissible scope and nature of any permitted non-audit services in connection with its annual review of the audit plan and shall review such policies and guidelines with the Board.
 
  •  Oversee the regular rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit.
 
  •  Establish clear policies and/or guidelines for the Company’s hiring of partners, employees or former partners or employees of the independent auditors.
 
  •  Obtain from the independent auditors any reports required to be furnished to the Committee under Section 10A of the Exchange Act or an assurance that Section 10A of the Exchange Act has not been implicated.
 
  •  Review and approve all related party transactions (the term “related party transaction” referring to transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to SEC Regulation S-K, Item 404, or any successor provision thereto).
 
  •  Establish procedures and require the Company to obtain or provide the necessary resources and mechanisms for (i) the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and (ii) the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of the Company of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.
 
  •  Prepare the report of the Audit Committee in the Annual Meeting Proxy Statement disclosing whether or not the committee had reviewed and discussed with management and the independent auditors, as well as discussed within the Audit Committee (without management or the independent auditors present), the financial statements and the quality of accounting principles and significant judgments affecting the financial statements. In addition, disclose in the proxy statement that the Audit Committee has:
  1.  reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management;
 
  2.  discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by SAS No. 61;
 
  3.  received certain disclosures from the auditors regarding the auditors’ independence as required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, and discussed with the auditors the auditors’ independence; and
 
  4.  concluded whether, based on such review and discussions, anything has come to the attention of the members of the Audit Committee that caused the Audit Committee to believe that the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
  •  Submit the minutes of all meetings of the Audit Committee to, or discuss the matters discussed at each committee meeting with, the Board of Directors.
 
  •  Investigate any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties, with the power to retain outside counsel for this purpose if, in its judgment, that is appropriate.
 
  •  To the extent it deems necessary or appropriate, to retain independent legal, accounting or other advisors. The Audit Committee shall also have the authority, to the extent it deems necessary or

  appropriate, to ask the Company to provide it with the support of one or more Company employees to assist it in carrying out its duties. The Company shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined solely by the Audit Committee, for payment of compensation to the independent auditors for the purpose of rendering or issuing an audit report and to any other advisors employed by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may request any officer or employee of the Company or the Company’s outside counsel, independent auditors or other advisors to attend a meeting of the Audit Committee or to meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Audit Committee.
 
  •  Review the Company’s disclosure in the proxy statement for its annual meeting of shareholders that describes that the Committee has a charter and has satisfied its responsibilities under this Charter for the prior year. In addition, include a copy of this Charter in the appendix to the proxy statement at least triennially or the year after any significant amendment to the Charter.
