THE QUOTED COMPANY ALLIANCE (QCA) CODE

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

The Directors recognise the importance of good corporate governance and have chosen to apply the Quoted Companies Alliance Corporate Governance Code (the ‘QCA Code’). The QCA Code was developed by the QCA as an alternative corporate governance code applicable to AIM companies. The underlying principle of the QCA Code is that “the purpose of good corporate governance is to ensure that the Company is managed in an efficient, effective and entrepreneurial manner for the benefit of all shareholders over the longer term”. It is the Board’s job to ensure that Ethernity Networks is managed in terms of this underlying principle of the QCA Code, with effective and efficient decision-making. Corporate governance is an important part of that job, reducing risk and adding value to our business.

 The Company addresses the key governance principles defined in the QCA Code as outlined in the table below. We will provide annual updates on our compliance with the code.

Directors’ Responsibilities

Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and the Group and of the profit or loss for each period. In preparing those financial statements, the Directors are required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed with any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company and the Group will continue in business.

The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
