TO THE SHAREHOLDERS:

         The annual meeting of shareholders of HMG/Courtland Properties, Inc.
(the "Company") will be held at 10:30 A.M., on Friday, July 25, 2003, at the
Grove Isle Club and Resort, 4 Grove Isle Drive, Coconut Grove, Florida for the
following purposes:

     1.   To elect a Board of Directors;

     2.   To act upon the renewal of the Advisory  Agreement between the Company
          and HMG Advisory Corp.;

     3.   To  transact  such other  business  as may  properly  come  before the
          meeting.

         The record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and
to vote at the annual meeting is June 13, 2003.

         Enclosed is a copy of the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders (Form
10-KSB) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

         It is important, whether or not you plan to attend the meeting in
person, that you fill in, sign and date the accompanying proxy and return it
promptly in the postage prepaid envelope which is enclosed for your convenience.
The signing and mailing of the proxy will not affect your right to vote your
shares in person if you attend the meeting and desire to do so.

                                           By Order of the Board of Directors

                                                    Lawrence I. Rothstein
                                                    President and Secretary





                                 PROXY STATEMENT
                                       OF
                         HMG/COURTLAND PROPERTIES, INC.

         The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors for use
at the annual meeting of shareholders and is being mailed with this Proxy
Statement to all shareholders on June 27, 2003. If a proxy card is properly
signed and is not revoked by the shareholder, the shares of common stock of the
Company (the "Shares") represented thereby will be voted at the meeting in
accordance with the instructions, if any, of the shareholder. If no instructions
are given, they will be voted for the election of Directors nominated by the
Board of Directors and for approval of the renewal of the advisory agreement
(the "Advisory Agreement") between the Company and HMG Advisory Corp. (the
"Adviser"). Any shareholder may revoke his proxy at any time before it is voted
by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company.

         Holders of Shares of record at the close of business on June 13, 2003
are entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting. On that date, there were
1,089,135 Shares outstanding. Each Share is entitled to one vote on all business
of the meeting. The holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares, present in
person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the meeting.
Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the
presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions are
counted in tabulations of the votes cast on proposals presented to stockholders,
whereas broker non-votes are not counted for purposes of determining whether a
proposal has been approved. As of June 13, 2003, Transco Realty Trust
("Transco"), 1870 South Bayshore Drive, Coconut Grove, Florida 33133, was the
beneficial owner of 477,300 Shares, or 44% of the outstanding Shares, and
Emanuel Metz, CIBC Oppenheimer Corp., One World Financial Center, 200 Liberty
Street, New York, New York 10281, was the beneficial owner of 59,500 Shares, or
5% of the outstanding Shares. Beneficial ownership is based on sole voting and
investment power.

         The Company has been advised by its officers and nominees for
directors, and their affiliated shareholders, Transco, Courtland Group, Inc.
("CGI") and T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. ("T.G.I.F.") that they intend to vote for the
election of each of the nominees and for the approval of the Advisory Agreement.
Such shareholders own in the aggregate 634,430 shares, or 58% of the outstanding
Shares. As a result, each of the nominees is expected to be elected as a
Director and the Advisory Agreement is expected to be approved. As noted below,
certain Directors of the Company are affiliated with principal shareholders of
the Company and are principal shareholders, directors and officers of the
Adviser. See "Election of Directors" below for information concerning holders
who may be deemed to own beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding Shares.

                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

         The entire Board of Directors will be elected at the annual meeting of
shareholders to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until
the election and qualification of their successors. In the event any nominee
should not continue to be available for election, proxies may be voted for the
election of a substitute nominee or the Board of Directors may elect to reduce
the number of Directors. The Board of Directors has no reason to anticipate that
any nominee will not be available for election. All of the nominees have been
elected previously by the shareholders.

         An affirmative vote by the holders of a majority of the Shares present
in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders is required for the
election of each Director.

         Set forth below is certain information about each current Director,
each nominee for Director and the Shares held by all Directors and executive
officers.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

         The Board of Directors held three meetings during 2002. During this
period all of the Directors of the Company attended at least 75% of the total
number of meetings of the Board and any Committee of which they were a member.

Committees of the Board of Directors

         The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee and a Stock Option
Committee. The Company does not have a Compensation Committee or a Nominating
Committee. Messrs. Arader, and Comita serve as members of the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee met three times during 2002.

         Messrs. Arader Bailey and Comita serve as members of the Stock Option
Committee. The Committee is authorized to grant options to officers and key
employees of the Company. The Stock Option Committee did not meet during 2002.

                          REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

         The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in
monitoring the in integrity of our financial statements, our independent
auditor's qualifications and independence, the performance of our independent
auditors, and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Board,
in its business judgment, has determined that all members of the Committee are
"independent," as required by applicable listing standards of the American Stock
Exchange. The Committee operates pursuant to a charter that was last amended by
the Board on June __, 2003. A copy of the current charter is attached to this
Proxy Statement as Annex A.

         Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and
integrity of the Company's financial statements, accounting and financial
reporting principles and internal controls and procedures designed to assure
compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The
independent auditors for the Company's 2002 fiscal year, BDO Seidman LLP, were
responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.




                                       5


         In performing its oversight role, the Audit Committee has, among other
things covered in its charter, reviewed and discussed the audited financial
statements with management and the independent auditors. The Committee has also
discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by
Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as
currently in effect. The Committee has received the written disclosures and the
letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board
Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as currently in
effect. The Committee has also considered whether the provision of non-audit
services by the independent auditors is compatible with maintaining the
auditors' independence and has discussed with the auditors the auditors'
independence.

         Based on the reviews, reports and discussions described in this Report,
and subject to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of the Committee
referred to in this report and in the charter, the Audit Committee recommended
to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

         The members of the Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in
the practice of auditing or accounting and are not necessarily experts in the
fields of accounting or auditing, including in respect of auditor independence.
Members of the Committee rely without independent verification on the
information provided to them and on the representations made by management and
the independent auditors. Accordingly, the Audit Committee's oversight does not
provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained
appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or appropriate
internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting
standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit
Committee's considerations, efforts and discussions referred to above do not
assure that the audit of the Company's financial statements has been carried out
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, that the financial
statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles or that BDO Seidman LLP is in fact "independent."

                         INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

         BDO Seidman LLP has served as our independent accounting firm since
January 1, 1995. In performing its oversight role, the Audit Committee reviewed
whether to retain BDO Seidman LLP as our independent accounting firm for the
2003 fiscal year as part of its regular process of recommending an independent
auditor to the Board. The Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors
the selection of BDO Seidman LLP as the Company's independent auditors for 2003,
and the Board has concurred in its recommendation. A representative of BDO
Seidman LLP is not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting.

directors and executive



                                       7


officers to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of
beneficial ownership and reports of change in beneficial ownership of the
Company's Shares. Such officers and directors are required by SEC regulations to
furnish to the Company copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file. Based
solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or
written representations that no other reports were required, the Company
believes that during 2002, its officers and directors of the Company complied
with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements.

receivables and payables involving related parties. The Company believes that
all of the transactions described below were on terms as favorable to the
Company as comparable transactions with unaffiliated third parties.

approximately $648,000 and $191,000, respectively. In March 2003 a cash payment
of $500,000 was received from the Adviser which brought the balance due from the
Adviser down to approximately $259,000. Such sum bears interest at the prime
rate plus 1% and is due on demand.

         Effective December 1, 1999, the Adviser began leasing its executive
offices from CII pursuant to a lease agreement. This lease agreement is at the
going market rate for similar property and calls for base rent of $48,000 per
year payable in equal monthly installments. Additionally, the Adviser is
responsible for all property insurance, utilities, maintenance and security
expenses relating to the leased premises. The lease term is five years.

CGI
---

         As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, CGI owed the Company $317,000 and
$300,000, respectively. In March 2003 a cash payment of approximately $17,000

Such sums bear interest at the prime rate plus 1% and are due on demand.

the amount of approximately $707,000 and $718,000, respectively. These amounts
are due on demand and bear interest at the prime rate. Also, T.G.I.F. owns
10,000 shares of the Company. The Adviser received a management fee of $18,000
per year from T.G.I.F for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.

CII - Grove Isle
----------------



                                       9


         In 1986, CII acquired from the Company the rights to develop the marina
at Grove Isle for a promissory note of $620,000 with interest payable at an
annual rate equal to the prime rate. The principal matures on January 2, 2006.
Interest payments are due each January 2. Because the Company consolidates CII,
the note payable and related interest income are eliminated in consolidation.

         The Company holds a demand note due from CII bearing interest at the
prime rate plus 1% with an outstanding balance of $3,111,000 and $2,508,000 as
of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. During 2002 and 2001, advances from
the Company to CII totaled $769,000 and $1,553,000, respectively. Repayments
from CII to the Company during 2002 and 2001 were $166,000 and $400,000,
respectively. Accrued and unpaid interest is capitalized and included in
advances. Because CII is a 95%-owned consolidated subsidiary of the Company, the
note payable and related interest are eliminated in consolidation.

         The Company's demand note from Grove Isle Yacht Club Associates (GIYCA,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of CII) was repaid during 2002. As of December 31,
2001 the outstanding balance was $243,000. Accrued and unpaid interest of
approximately $11,000 was also repaid by GIYCA. During 2001 advances from the
Company to GIYCA totaled $2,000. Repayments from GIYCA to the Company during

rate plus 1% with an outstanding balance as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 was
approximately $1,100,000, in principal and accrued interest. No payments were
made in 2002 and 2001, and accrued and unpaid interest was not capitalized.
Because the Company consolidates SBA, the note payable and related interest
income is eliminated in consolidation.

Exercised Stock Options and Related Promissory Notes
----------------------------------------------------

         On August 24, 2000, certain officers and directors of the Company
exercised all of their stock options and purchased a total of 70,000 shares of

                            OF THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT

         The Advisory Agreement. At the 2002 annual meeting of shareholders, the
advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Company and HMG
Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser") was amended and renewed for a one-year term
expiring on December 31, 2003. On April 11, 2003, the Board of Directors
approved, subject to shareholder approval, the renewal of the Advisory Agreement
between the Company and the Adviser for a term commencing January 1, 2004, and
expiring December 31, 2004.

         Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the renewal must be approved
by the holders of a majority of the Shares. If the shareholders approve the
Advisory Agreement, it will be amended and renewed for a one-year term.

         The Adviser is majority owned by Mr. Wiener with the remaining shares

of the Adviser are as follows: Maurice Wiener, Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive officer; Lawrence I. Rothstein, President, Treasurer, Secretary and
Director; and Carlos Camarotti, Vice President - Finance and Assistant

         The following description of the Advisory Agreement contains a summary
of its material terms.

         General Provisions. The Advisory Agreement is not assignable without
the consent of the unaffiliated Directors of the Company and the Adviser. The
Advisory Agreement provides that officers, directors, employees and agents of
the Adviser or of its affiliates may serve as Directors, officers or agents of
the Company.

         Duties of Adviser. The Adviser in performing its duties under the
Advisory Agreement is at all times subject to the supervision of the Directors
of the Company and has only such authority as the Directors delegate to it as
their agent. The Adviser counsels and presents to the Company investments
consistent with the objectives of the Company and performs such research and
investigation as the Directors may request in connection with the policy
decisions as to the type and nature of investments to be made by the Company.
Such functions include evaluation of the desirability of acquisition, retention
and disposition of specific Company assets. The Adviser also is responsible for
the day-to-day investment operations of the Company and conducts relations with
mortgage loan brokers, originators and servicers, and determines whether
investments offered to the Company meet the requirements of the Company. The
Adviser provides executive and administrative personnel, office space and
services required in rendering such services to the Company. To the extent
required to perform its duties under the Agreement, the Adviser may deposit into
and disburse from bank accounts opened in its own name any money on behalf of
the Company under such terms and conditions as the Company may approve.

         Allocation of Expenses. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser pays:
all salary and employment expenses of its own personnel and of the officers and
employees of the Company who are affiliates of the Adviser; all of the
administrative, rent and other office


                                       11


expenses (except those relating to a separate office, if any, maintained by the
Company) relating to its services as Adviser; and travel (to the extent not paid
by any party other than the Company or the Adviser) and advertising expenses
incurred in seeking investments for the Company.

         The Company is required to pay all expenses of the Company not assumed
by the Adviser, including, without limitation, the following: (a) the cost of
borrowed money; (b) taxes on income, real property and all other taxes
applicable to the Company; (c) legal, accounting, underwriting, brokerage,
transfer agent's, registrar's, indenture trustee's, listing, registration and
other fees, printing, engraving, and other expenses and taxes incurred in
connection with the issuance, distribution, transfer, registration and stock
exchange listing of the Company's securities; (d) fees and expenses of advisors
and independent contractors, consultants, managers and other agents employed
directly by the Company; (e) expenses connected with the acquisition,
disposition or ownership of mortgages or real property or other investment
assets, including, to the extent not paid by any party other than the Company or
the Adviser, but not limited to, costs of foreclosure, costs of appraisal, legal
fees and other expenses for professional services, maintenance, repairs and
improvement of property, and brokerage and sales commissions, and expenses of
maintaining and managing real property equity interests; (f) the expenses of
organizing or terminating the Company; (g) all insurance costs (including the
cost of Directors' liability insurance) incurred in connection with the
protection of the Company's property as required by the Directors; (h) expenses
connected with payment of dividends or interest or distributions in cash or any
other form made or caused to be made by the Directors to holders of securities
of the Company, including a dividend reinvestment plan, if any; (i) all expenses
connected with communications to holders of securities of the Company and the
other bookkeeping and clerical work necessary in maintaining relations with
holders of securities, including the cost of printing and mailing checks,
certificates for securities and proxy solicitation materials and reports to
holders of the Company's securities; (j) to the extent not paid by borrowers
from the Company, the expenses of administering, processing and servicing
mortgage, development, construction and other loans; (k) the cost of any
accounting, statistical, or bookkeeping equipment necessary for the maintenance
of the books and records of the Company; (1) general legal, accounting and
auditing fees and expenses; (in) salaries and other employment expenses of the
personnel employed by the Company who are not affiliates of the Adviser, fees
and expenses incurred by the Directors, officers and employees in attending
Directors' meetings, and fees and travel and other expenses incurred by the
Directors and officers and employees of the Company who are not affiliates of
the Adviser.

         Expenses relating to the grant of options to all officers and employees
of the Company under a plan approved by the shareholders of the Company are
borne by the Company.

         Remuneration of the Adviser. For services rendered under the advisory
agreement that was in effect during 2002, the Adviser was entitled to receive as
regular compensation a monthly fee equal to the sum of (a) $55,000 (equivalent
to $660,000 per year) and (b) 20% of the amount of any unrefunded commitment
fees received by the Company with respect to mortgage loans and other
commitments which the Company was not required to fund and which expired within
the next preceding calendar month. In 2002 and 2001, the Adviser's annual
regular compensation amounted to $660,000.

         On September 20, 2002, shareholders approved (effective January 1,
2003) the


                                       12


amendment and renewal of the Advisory Agreement, and increased the Adviser's
regular compensation to $75,000 per month, or $900,000 per year, and continued
to receive the additional fee of 20% of the amount of any unrefunded commitment
fees received by the Company as outlined above. The Adviser continues to receive
the incentive compensation outlined below.

         The Advisory Agreement also provides that the Adviser shall receive
incentive compensation for each fiscal year of the Company equal to the sum of
(a) 10% of the realized capital gains (net of accumulated net realized capital
losses) and extraordinary nonrecurring items of income of the Company for such
year, and (b) 10% of the amount, if any, by which Net Profits of the Company
exceed 8% per annum of the Average Net Worth of the Company. "Net Profits" is
defined as the gross earned income of the Company for such period (exclusive of
gains and losses from the disposition of assets), minus all expenses other than
non-cash charges for depreciation, depletion and amortization and the incentive
compensation payable to the Adviser, and minus all amounts expended for mortgage
amortization on long-term mortgage indebtedness, excluding extraordinary and
balloon payments. "Average Net Worth" is defined as the average of the amount in
the shareholders' equity accounts on the books of the Company, plus the
accumulated non-cash reserves for depreciation, depletion and amortization shown
on the books of the Company, determined at the close of the last day of each
month for the computation period.

         If and to the extent that the Company requests the Adviser, or any of
its directors, officers, or employees, to render services for the Company, other
than those required to be rendered by the Adviser under the Agreement, such
additional services are to be compensated separately on terms to be agreed upon
between such party and the Company from time to time, which terms must be fair
and reasonable and at least as favorable to the Company as similar arrangements
for comparable transactions of which the Company is aware with organizations
unaffiliated with the Adviser. The Adviser received $30,000 in 2000 and 2001 for
managing certain of the Company's affiliates.

         Set forth below is the aggregate compensation paid to the Adviser
during the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002.

         Brokerage Fees Paid the Adviser. Under the Advisory Agreement, the
Adviser and its affiliates are prohibited from receiving from the Company any
brokerage or similar fees for the placement of mortgages or other investments
with the Company. However, the Adviser and its affiliates can receive normal
brokerage commissions from borrowers in connection with transactions involving
the Company, provided that such commissions are fully disclosed to all Directors
of the Company and the Directors approve of the transaction and that such
commissions (which to the extent paid by the borrower and retained by the
Adviser or its affiliates may reduce the yield to the Company) are fair and
reasonable and in accord with the prevailing rates in the locality in which the
transaction is consummated for the type of transaction involved. The Adviser and
its affiliates may, subject to the same terms and conditions, receive normal
brokerage commissions from sellers, buyers, lessees and other parties with whom
the Company engages in transactions.

         The members of the Audit Committee shall be appointed, and may be
removed, by the Board.

III.     Meetings

         The Audit Committee shall meet as often as it determines, but not less
frequently than quarterly. The Audit Committee shall periodically meet with
management and the independent auditor in separate executive sessions. The Audit
Committee may request any officer or employee of the Corporation or the
Corporation's outside counsel or independent auditor to attend a meeting of the
Committee or to meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Committee.









IV.      Committee Authority and Responsibilities

         The Audit Committee shall have the sole authority to appoint or replace
the independent auditor. The Audit Committee shall be directly responsible for
the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including
resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor
regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit
report or related work. The independent auditor shall report directly to the
Audit Committee.

         The Audit Committee shall preapprove all auditing services and
permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be
performed for the Corporation by its independent auditor, subject to the de
minimus exceptions for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of
the Exchange Act which are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the
completion of the audit. The Audit Committee may form and delegate authority to
subcommittees consisting of one or more members when appropriate, including the
authority to grant preapprovals of audit and permitted non-audit services,
provided that decisions of such subcommittee to grant preapprovals shall be
presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

         The Audit Committee shall have the authority, to the extent it deems
necessary or appropriate, to retain independent legal, accounting or other
advisors. The Corporation shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined
by the Audit committee, for payment of compensation to the independent auditor
for the purpose of rendering or issuing an audit report and to any advisors
employed by the Audit Committee.

         The Audit Committee shall make regular reports to the Board, review and
reassess the adequacy of this Charter annually and recommend any proposed
changes to the Board for approval and annually review the Audit Committee's own
performance.

         The Audit Committee shall also:

          1. Review and discuss with management and the independent auditor the
     annual audited financial statements, including disclosures made in

     Form 10-KSB.

          2. Review and discuss with management and the independent auditor the
     Corporation's quarterly financial statements prior to the filing of its

     the quarterly financial statements and disclosures made in management's
     discussion and analysis.



                                                                     Page 1 of 4



          3. Discuss with management and the independent auditor any significant
     financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the
     preparation of the Corporation's financial statements, including any
     significant changes in the Corporation's selection or application of
     accounting principles, any major issues as to the adequacy of the
     Corporation's internal controls and any special steps adopted in light of
     material control deficiencies.

          4. Review and discuss reports from the independent auditors on:

               (a)  All critical accounting policies and practices to be used

               (b) All alternative treatments of financial information within
          generally accepted accounting principles that have been discussed with
          management, ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures
          and treatments, and the treatment preferred by the independent
          auditor.

               (c) Other material written communications between the independent
          auditor and management, such as any management letter or schedule of
          passed adjustments.

          5. Discuss with management the Corporation's earnings press releases,
     including the use of "pro forma" or "adjusted" non-GAAP information, as
     well as financial information and earnings guidance provided to analysts
     and rating agencies. Such discussion may be done generally (consisting of
     discussing the types of information to be disclosed and the types of
     presentations to be made).

          6. Discuss with management and the independent auditor the effect of
     regulatory and accounting initiatives as well as off-balance sheet
     structures on the Corporation's financial statements.

          7. Discuss with management the Corporation's major financial risk
     exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such
     exposures, including the Corporation's risk assessment and risk management
     policies.

          8. Discuss with the independent auditor the matters required to be
     discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 relating to the conduct
     of the audit, including any difficulties encountered in the course of the
     audit work, any restrictions on the scope of activities or access to
     requested information, and any significant disagreements with management.

          9. Discuss with management and the independent auditor whether there
     were any accounting adjustments that were proposed by the independent
     auditor but were determined by management as being immaterial or otherwise
     not necessary.

          10. Review any disclosures made to the Audit Committee by the
     Corporation's


                                                                     Page 2 of 4


     CEO and CFO during their certification process for the Form 10-KSB and Form
     10-QSB about any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of
     internal controls or material weaknesses therein and any fraud involving
     management or other employees who have a significant role in the
     Corporation's internal controls.

     Oversight of the Corporation's Relationship with the Independent Auditor

          11. Review and evaluate the lead partner of the independent auditor
     team.

          12. Obtain and review a report from the independent auditor at least
     annually regarding (a) the independent auditor's internal quality-control
     review procedures, (b) any material issues raised by the most recent
     internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the firm, or by any
     inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities within
     the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried
     out by the firm, (c) any steps taken to deal with any such issues, and (d)
     all relationships between the independent auditor and the Corporation.
     Evaluate the qualifications, performance and independence of the
     independent auditor, including considering whether the auditor's quality
     controls are adequate and the provision of permitted non-audit services is
     compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence, and taking into
     account the opinions of management. The Audit Committee shall present its
     conclusions with respect to the independent auditor to the Board.

          13. Ensure the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner
     having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner
     responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law. Consider whether,
     in order to assure continuing auditor independence, it is appropriate to
     adopt a policy of rotating the independent auditing firm on a regular
     basis.

          14. Establish policies for the Corporation's hiring of employees or
     former employees of the independent auditor who participated in any
     capacity in the audit of the Corporation.

          15. Discuss with the independent auditor any issues on which the
     auditor's national office was consulted by the Corporation's audit team.

          16. Meet with the independent auditor prior to the audit to discuss
     the planning and staffing of the audit.

Compliance Oversight Responsibilities

          17. Obtain from the independent auditor assurance that the audit:

               (a) contains procedures designed to provide reasonable assurances
          of detecting illegal acts that would have a direct and material effect
          on the financial statements;


                                                                     Page 3 of 4


               (b) contains procedures designed to identify related party
          transactions that are material to the financial statements or
          otherwise require financial statement disclosure; and

               (c) includes an evaluation of the Corporation's ability to
          continue as a going concern during the ensuing fiscal year.

          18. Obtain reports from management and the independent auditor
     relating to the conformity by the Corporation and its subsidiary/foreign
     affiliated entities with applicable legal requirements and the
     Corporation's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Review reports and
     disclosures of affiliated party transactions. Advise the Board with respect
     to the Corporation's policies and procedures regarding compliance with
     applicable laws and regulations and with the Corporation's Code of Business
     Conduct and Ethics.

          19. Establish procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of
     complaints received by the Corporation regarding accounting, internal
     accounting controls or auditing matters, and the confidential, anonymous
     submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or
     auditing matters.

          20. Discuss with management and the independent auditor any
     correspondence with regulators or governmental agencies, any employee
     complaints and any published reports which raise material issues regarding
     the Corporation's financial statements or accounting policies.

          21. Discuss with the Corporation's General Counsel or outside counsel
     legal matters that may have a material impact on the financial statements
     or the Corporation's compliance policies.

V.  Limitations of Audit Committee's Role

         While the Audit Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth
in this Charter, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct
audits or to determine that the Corporation's financial statements and
disclosures are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and applicable rules and regulations. Nor is it
the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct investigations or to assure
compliance with laws and regulations and the Corporation's internal policies.
These are the responsibilities of management and the independent auditor.
