“The taxpayer's conflicts of interest and compensation policy ("policy") is straight-forward and addresses the disclosure and resolution of conflicts of interest in the following manner: conflicts of interest - no director or officer of the taxpayer does business with or receives any money from the taxpayer, so no such conflicts have arisen. If any conflicts of interest should arise they will be dealt with in accord with the policy, which, inter alia, provides: a. The board of directors is required to determine alternatives, if any, to the proposed transaction or arrangement with the interested person; b. The board is required to determine whether the taxpayer can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity unrelated to interested person; and, c. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable with a person or entity unrelated to interested person, the board is required to determine whether the transaction or arrangement is in the taxpayer's best interest and for its principal benefit and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to the taxpayer and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination.”
