The Audit Committee’s responsibilities are as set forth in its Charter, and can be found at the Company’s website at www.omegaflex.com. The Audit Committee’s primary responsibilities are to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight of the accounting and financial controls of the Company, and oversight of the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee selects the independent auditors, reviews the scope of the audit and the results of the audit, approves permitted non-audit services (such as tax services), and reviews the Company’s financial and disclosure controls procedures. The Audit Committee also oversees management’s efforts to establish and maintain a process for handling complaints or concerns relating to accounting or financial matters, as well as compliance issues generally.

 

The Audit Committee acts pursuant to the Company’s By-Laws and the Audit Committee Charter. The Audit Committee Charter is reviewed annually by the Audit Committee to determine the charter’s adequacy to respond to the issues raised in the course of the Audit Committee’s activities. The Audit Committee has acted under its charter. The Committee held 3 meetings, at which all members attended in person or by telephone, and consulted with each other and management as necessary to discharge its duties throughout 2005. The current members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Trainor (Chairman), Klink and Cianciolo. The Board of Directors has determined that both Mr. Klink and Mr. Cianciolo are an "Audit Committee Financial Expert" and that all three members of the Audit Committee are independent directors in accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, and applicable SEC rules and listing requirements. The Board of Directors has also determined that each of the Audit Committee members possess the education and experience as to provide them with a level of sophisticated knowledge in financial matters that are similar to the matters that the Company may encounter.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires directors and certain officers of the Company, as well as persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of the company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. To the Company's knowledge, based solely on its review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, during the year ended December 31, 2005, all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements were satisfied, except as follows: the Securities and Exchange Commission had declared the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10 effective as of July 22, 2005, and several insiders (Mestek, Inc., Kevin R. Hoben and Mark F. Albino) did not report their initial statement of ownership in the Company’s common stock within 2 business days after the Company’s Registration Statement became effective. However, such initial statements on Form 3 were filed by the above insiders on July 27, 2005, which was 3 business days after the Company’s Registration Statement became effective and prior to the effective date of the Spin-off of the Company from Mestek, Inc. As a consequence of the Spin-off, Mestek, Inc. distributed all of its equity interests in the Company to Mestek’s shareholders, and Mestek, Inc. no longer has any equity interests in the Company.

 

Code of Business Conduct

 

The Company has adopted a Code Of Business Ethics (“Code”) applicable to its principal executive officer, principal financial and accounting officers, its directors and all other employees generally. A copy of the Code may be found at the Company’s website www.omegaflex.com.

Notes to Summary Compensation Table

 

 

(1)

All our officers, and certain other key employees involved in our operations, historically have been paid annual bonuses based on the profitability of the business (“Bonus Policy”). Under the Bonus Policy, the bonus for an eligible executive officer is equal to a percentage (which may be different for each participant) of the amount by which our operating profits in each fiscal year exceed a specified return on the average net assets employed by us. The target in 2005 for return on average net assets employed was 20%. Messrs. Hoben, Albino, Treichel and Wilkinson were awarded bonuses under the Bonus Policy for 2005.

 

(2)

In accordance with the revised rules on executive officer compensation adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, amounts of Other Annual Compensation for 2005, 2004, and 2003 (which would include the incremental costs to us of perquisites and personal benefits paid to any executive officer), are excluded because they are less than $50,000 or less than 10% of the total annual salary and bonus compensation for each of the individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table. Such perquisites may include, among others, the compensation attributable to the personal use of a Company automobile and compensation attributable to personal use of club memberships primarily used for business purposes.

 

(3)

In accordance with the revised rules on executive officer compensation adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, amounts of All Other Compensation for 2005, 2004, and 2003

include: the cost of premiums for life insurance and AD&D having a benefit in excess of $50,000 under which we are not a beneficiary; the costs to us of the contributions by us to each executive officer under the 401(k) Plan sponsored by us or Mestek (whereby we match each $1.00 of employee contribution with $0.25 up to the first 6% of salary and bonus); and our contributions on behalf of each executive officer to the profit sharing plan sponsored by us or Mestek, whereby we contribute three percent (3%) of annual base salary up to the OASDI maximum of $90,000 (in 2005) and six percent (6%) of annual base salary for amounts of compensation in excess of the OASDI maximum of $90,000 for 2005 (as limited in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act), and also includes where applicable amounts imputed with respect to supplemental executive retirement plan, and to a defined benefit plan for employees of our U.K. subsidiary.

 

(4)

In accordance with the revised rules on executive compensation adopted by the SEC, amounts of long-term compensation have been omitted from the summary compensation table because there have been no grants of stock option awards, supplemental executive retirement plans, change in control agreements or restricted stock units to any of our executive officers in the fiscal years 2005, 2004, and 2003.

 

(5)

Mr. Hoben is employed under an agreement with us which is automatically extended for one-year periods unless we issue a six-month notice of termination, or Mr. Hoben issues a three-month notice of termination. The contract specifies a certain base salary to be reviewed annually by our Board of Directors . The base salary under this contract for 2005 was $169,215. The contract stipulates that Mr. Hoben was eligible to participate in the Omega Flex 1996 Stock Option Plan, and pursuant to the Plan and the vote of the Board, Mr. Hoben received an option in 1996 to purchase 100 shares (on a pre-split basis) of our common stock at $9,000 per share. Mr. Hoben exercised his option to acquire such shares in 2004. The contract provides for severance of one year’s salary if Mr. Hoben is discharged without cause, or severance of one month’s salary if he is discharged for cause. The contract provides for Mr. Hoben to be furnished with the use of a Company automobile and to be reimbursed for legitimate business expenses.

 

(6)

Mr. Albino is employed under an agreement with us which is automatically extended for one-year periods unless we issue a six-month notice of termination, or Mr. Albino issues a three-month notice of termination. The contract specifies a certain base salary to be reviewed annually by our Board of Directors . The base salary under this contract for 2005 was $129,087. The contract stipulated that Mr. Albino was eligible to participate in the Omega Flex 1996 Stock Option Plan, and pursuant to the Plan and the vote of the Board, Mr. Albino received an option to purchase 40 shares (on a pre-split basis) of our common stock at $9,000 per share. Mr. Albino exercised his option to acquire such shares in 2004.

 

(7)

Salary, bonus and certain personal benefits paid to Mr. Quinlan are paid in U.K. pounds sterling. To provide comparability, we have converted such amount to U.S. dollars using an average exchange rate of £1.82069, £1.8354, and £1.5126, for the years 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
