REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMPENSATION COMMITTEE The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is composed of a non-employee director. The Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors as to policies which govern both annual compensation and stock ownership programs for the Chief Executive Officer and certain other executive officers. Each year, salaries are determined and awards are made, if warranted, based upon the Company's performance. The Committee annually evaluates the Company's performance, executive compensation and incentive programs compared with our industry and with a broader group of companies. The Company's compensation programs are designed to reward executives for long-term strategic management and the enhancement of shareholder value, and are leveraged on the basis of performance in terms of both cash compensation and incentive plans, paying more with good performance and less when it is below standard. The Chief Executive Officer received a salary increase of 15% during 2002 reflective of his new duties. During 2003, the Compensation Committee will continue to carefully consider executive compensation in relation to the Company's performance compared to that of industry performance levels. The Company has no formal employment agreements. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE: John Creasy REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AUDIT COMMITTEE In accordance with its written charter, which was approved in its current form by the Board of Directors on June 22, 2000, the Audit Committee assists the Board in oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing, and the financial reporting practices of ACMAT. 4 The Audit Committee consists of three independent members (as independence is defined by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Exchange). Upon election to the Board of Directors, Mr. Andrew M. Sullivan will become a member and Chairman of the Audit Committee. In performing its oversight functions, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements of ACMAT as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002 with management and ACMAT's independent accountants. The Audit Committee also discussed with ACMAT's independent auditors all matters required by generally accepted auditing standards, including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, "Communication with Audit Committees" and discussed and reviewed the results of the independent auditors' examination of the financial statements. The Audit Committee obtained from the independent auditors a formal written statement describing all relationships between the auditors and ACMAT that might bear on the auditors' independence consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, "Independence Discussions with Audit Committees." The Audit Committee discussed with the auditors any relationships that may have an impact on their objectivity and independence and satisfied itself as to the auditors' independence. The Audit Committee also considered whether the provision of information technology services and other non-audit services by KPMG LLP, ACMAT's principal independent accountants, to ACMAT is compatible with maintaining KPMG's independence. Based on the above-mentioned review and discussions with management and the independent auditors, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that ACMAT's audited consolidated financial statements be included in ACMAT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
