EXPLANATORY PARAGRAPH
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Cavco Industries, Inc. (the “Company,” “our” or “we”) for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2015, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 10, 2015 (the “Original Filing”), and is being filed solely for the purpose of providing the information required by Items 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 of Part III to Form 10-K.
This information was previously omitted from the Original Filing in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information in the above referenced items to be incorporated in the Form 10-K by reference from our definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after our fiscal year end. We are filing this Amendment to include Part III information in our Form 10-K because a definitive proxy statement containing this information will not be filed by us within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K. The reference on the cover of the Original Filing to the incorporation by reference to portions of our definitive proxy statement into Part III of the Original Filing is hereby deleted.
In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), Part III, Items 10 through 14 of the Original Filing are hereby amended and restated in their entirety. Except as specifically set forth herein, this Amendment does not amend or otherwise update any other information in the Original Filing.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires Cavco directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of Cavco’s equity securities, to file initial reports of ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports of ownership with the SEC and NASDAQ. Such persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish Cavco with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file with the SEC.
Based solely on its review of the copies of such reports received by it with respect to fiscal year 2015 or written representations from certain reporting persons, Cavco believes that its directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of Cavco’s equity securities have complied with the filing requirements of Section 16(a) for fiscal year 2015 applicable to such persons.
Code of Conduct
Cavco has adopted a code of conduct that applies to Cavco directors and all employees, including Cavco’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Controller. Cavco has posted the text of its code of conduct on its Internet website at www.cavco.com. Cavco’s code of conduct will remain accessible on its Internet website. However, if Cavco ever desires to remove its code of conduct from its Internet website, then, prior to such removal, Cavco will either file its code of conduct as an exhibit to its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC or will undertake to provide a copy of the code of conduct to any person without charge.
Audit Committee
Our Audit Committee is composed of three directors, Messrs. Boor, Bunger and Greenblatt, who satisfy the independence requirements set forth in (1) Section 10A(m) of the Exchange Act and the rules adopted by the SEC thereunder and (2) applicable NASDAQ Rules. The Audit Committee functions under a charter, which was initially adopted by our Board on September 22, 2003, and was most recently amended on October 2, 2014. The Audit Committee Charter is posted on our website at www.cavco.com.
The Board has determined that William C. Boor, the Chairperson of the Audit Committee, meets the definition of “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined under SEC rules. Mr. Boor’s qualifications are described in his biography on page 2.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Introduction
The purpose of this compensation discussion and analysis (“CD&A”) is to provide information about each material element of compensation that we pay or award to, or that is earned by, our named executive officers. For fiscal year 2015, our named executive officers were Joseph H. Stegmayer, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer; Daniel L. Urness, our Executive Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer; and Charles E. Lott, President of Fleetwood Homes.

4



Overview
Our executive compensation program for our named executive officers is relatively uncomplicated, consisting of cash compensation comprised of base salary and either a cash bonus or non-equity incentive compensation, as well as awards of options to purchase shares of our common stock or grants of restricted stock. Generally, we do not offer perquisites to our named executive officers. We do not have a defined benefit pension plan or any other similar retirement plan; however, our named executive officers are permitted to participate in Cavco’s 401(k) plan and other health and welfare programs that are generally available to all other full-time employees.
Compensation Committee
Our Compensation Committee of our Board (“Compensation Committee”) reviews and approves, or recommends to the Board for approval, all salary and other remuneration for our executive officers and oversees matters relating to our employee compensation and benefit programs. The Compensation Committee is comprised of David A. Greenblatt, its Chairperson, William C. Boor, and Jack Hanna. To the extent permitted by NASDAQ Rules and applicable legal requirements, the Compensation Committee may delegate specified duties and responsibilities to a subcommittee created by a vote of a majority of the members of the Compensation Committee. Each subcommittee shall have one or more members designated by the Compensation Committee, and shall be governed by such procedures as the Compensation Committee shall determine from time to time.
No member of the Compensation Committee is an employee of Cavco. The Compensation Committee operates pursuant to a written charter that sets forth its functions and responsibilities. The Compensation Committee Charter is posted on our website at www.cavco.com.
The Compensation Committee is charged with assisting the Board in:
assessing whether the various compensation programs of Cavco are designed to attract, motivate, and retain the senior management necessary for Cavco to deliver consistently superior results and are performance based, market driven, and stockholder aligned;
its oversight of specific incentive compensation plans adopted by Cavco, with the approval of the Compensation Committee, including stock plans and short term and long term incentive compensation plans for members of senior management of Cavco;
its approval, review and oversight of benefit plans of Cavco; and
its oversight of the performance and compensation of the Chief Executive Officer of Cavco and the other members of the senior management of Cavco.
Stockholder Approval of our Compensation Decisions
At the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Cavco’s stockholders approved the advisory (non-binding) vote on executive compensation with approximately 99.76% of the votes cast in favor of the proposal regarding the Company’s executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee considers this vote a validation of its approach to executive compensation and generally has continued its compensation processes and philosophy in making 2015 executive compensation decisions, with the exception of Mr. Stegmayer’s compensation whose compensation is set pursuant to his Amended and Restated Employment Agreement.
Objectives of Cavco’s Compensation Programs
Cavco’s executive compensation program is structured to achieve the following objectives:
to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified, energetic and talented executives necessary for Cavco to deliver consistently superior results;
to create an incentive to increase stockholder returns by establishing a direct and substantial link between individual compensation and certain financial measures that have a direct effect on stockholder values; and

5



to create substantial long-term compensation opportunities for individual executive officers based not only on long-term corporate performance but also on sustained long-term individual performance.
Role of Compensation Consultants
The Compensation Committee has authority to retain compensation consultants in determining or recommending executive or director compensation pursuant to its written charter (including the sole authority to approve such consultant’s fees and other retention terms). The Compensation Committee did not engage a compensation consultant during fiscal year 2015.
Benchmarking
Market pay levels are one of many elements used by Cavco to maintain competitive pay opportunities for our named executive officers. For fiscal year 2015, we considered our compensation peer group for benchmarking the named executive officer’s compensation to include the following industry participants: Skyline Corporation and Nobility Homes. Because manufactured housing peer group compensation data is somewhat limited, we also considered the following Arizona-based companies with whom we may compete with for executives and which were selected because, during our last fiscal year, each was publicly traded and roughly similar in size to Cavco in terms of annual revenue: AV Homes; Inventure Foods, Inc.; Knight Transportation, Inc.; Lifelock, Inc.; Limelight Networks, Inc.; Meritage Homes Corp.; Mobile Mini, Inc.; Taser International; and Universal Technical Institute, Inc.
In connection with its compensation decisions for fiscal year 2015, peer group compensation information was used as guidance to ascertain whether our named executive officers’ base salaries and incentive compensation programs are generally aligned with those positions in the peer group. While the Compensation Committee does review peer group compensation information, it is not the sole factor it considers in setting executive compensation. The Compensation Committee also takes into account other factors, including the responsibilities of the executive’s position, an executive’s compensation history, experience, performance, tenure, and Cavco’s performance. The Compensation Committee did not set compensation programs to be a specified percentage above or below, or equal to, the comparable compensation for the peer group. Mr. Stegmayer’s compensation is set by his Amended and Restated Employment Agreement. In setting compensation for Messrs. Lott and Urness, the Compensation Committee considered the input of the Chief Executive Officer, the historical compensation paid to such executive officers (and in the case of Mr. Lott, historical compensation paid both while employed by the Company and by his predecessor company), and certain historical compensation paid to operating executives of peer companies.

Role of Management in Establishing and Awarding Compensation
The Compensation Committee annually reviews and approves the base salary levels and incentive opportunity levels for Cavco’s named executive officers. Our Chief Executive Officer, with the assistance of our Human Resources Department and General Counsel, regularly provides information and recommendations to the Compensation Committee on the performance of Messrs. Lott and Urness, appropriate levels and components of compensation, including equity grants, as well as such other information as the Compensation Committee may request.
Following the conclusion of a fiscal year, the Compensation Committee makes compensation awards for the named executive officers, including awards under short-term and long-term incentive compensation plans. To assist the Compensation Committee with its review, management provides the Compensation Committee with peer group performance results and compensation data and other information as requested by the Compensation Committee.

Components of Executive Compensation
In structuring the specific components of executive compensation, Cavco is guided by the following principles:
compensation programs should be performance based, market driven and stockholder aligned;

6



annual compensation should be set within reasonable ranges of the annual compensation for similar positions with similarly-sized and similar types of companies that engage in one or more of the principal businesses in which Cavco engages;
a compensation program must have elements that are not solely performance based in order to be competitive in attracting and retaining talented executives;
bonus payments should vary with the individual’s performance and Cavco’s financial performance;
a significant portion of compensation should be in the form of long-term, equity-linked incentive compensation that aligns the interests of executives with those of the stockholders and that creates rewards for long-term sustained company performance and the achievement of Cavco’s strategic objectives; and
compensation programs should not encourage executives to take unnecessary risks.
The Compensation Committee attempts to structure its compensation programs to the named executive officers as performance-based compensation that is tax deductible. However, the Compensation Committee may award compensation that is or could become non-deductible when such awards are in the best interest of Cavco, balancing tax efficiency with long-term strategic objectives.
Base Salary
The Compensation Committee is responsible for recommending to the Board the base salary levels for the named executive officers. In developing salary amounts, the Compensation Committee conducts a general review of salaries for similar positions in our peer group. In setting base salary levels, the Compensation Committee also considers an executive’s compensation history, experience, performance, tenure, and potential for significant contributions to Cavco’s profitability.
The minimum base salary level payable to Mr. Stegmayer pursuant to his Amended and Restated Employment Agreement reached $500,000 in fiscal year 2014. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee may review the base salary levels at any time and, in its sole discretion, may adjust Mr. Stegmayer’s then current base salary; provided, however, that the Compensation Committee may not decrease Mr. Stegmayer’s then current base salary without his prior written consent. If the term of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement is extended, then the annual base salary of Mr. Stegmayer will be determined by the Compensation Committee in its reasonable business judgment provided that in no event may the Compensation Committee decrease the annual base salary of Mr. Stegmayer below that of any previous fiscal year during such renewal period. Mr. Stegmayer’s base salary for fiscal year ended March 28, 2015 was $500,000.
Messrs. Lott and Urness, who do not have employment agreements, were paid base salaries of $220,000 and $235,000, respectively, for fiscal year ended March 28, 2015. These officer's base salaries were established by the Compensation Committee based upon their consideration of, among other things, their past base salaries, peer group analysis, and the recommendations of the CEO. See the Summary Compensation Table on page 11.
Incentive Compensation
Incentive compensation for Mr. Stegmayer is based solely upon Cavco’s pre-tax income. Under the terms of Mr. Stegmayer’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, Mr. Stegmayer received non-equity incentive compensation in an amount equal to (i) 5% of the first $4 million of pre-tax income of the Company for the fiscal year, plus (ii) 6% of the next $16 million of pre-tax income of the Company for the fiscal year, plus (iii) 3% of pre tax income of the Company for the fiscal year above $20 million, provided that the cash award on pre-tax income of any material assets or businesses acquired after June 30, 2011 shall be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole judgment, in good faith, in consultation with Mr. Stegmayer. Based upon the above formula, a cash award of $1,679,845 was made to Mr. Stegmayer. However, because the cash award was made pursuant to the Cavco Industries, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2005 Plan"), which provides that for any fiscal year of the Company, a cash award may not exceed $1,000,000, Mr. Stegmayer repaid the excess sum of $679,845 to the Company in July 2015. The net non-equity incentive payment of $1,000,000 for the year ended March 28, 2015 is reflected in the Summary Compensation Table on page 11.

7



For the fiscal year ended March 28, 2015, under the terms of his plan, Mr. Urness is eligible to receive non-equity incentive compensation equal to (i) 0.8% of the first $23 million in pre-tax income of the Company, (ii) 0.5% of pre-tax income of the Company greater than $23 million and up to $30 million; and (iii) 0.3% of pre-tax income greater than $30 million. Based solely on this formula, for fiscal year ended March 28, 2015, Mr. Urness received nonequity incentive compensation in the amount of $248,313. See the Summary Compensation Table on page 11.
Under Mr. Lott’s incentive compensation plan, he is eligible to receive a cash payment equal to (i) 1.5% of fiscal year 2015 pre-tax income for each of the two business units he oversees up to target pre-tax income levels for each business unit, respectively (the “Target Bonus”); and (ii) 5% of the amount by which fiscal year 2015 pre-tax income exceeds target pre-tax income levels for each of the two business units he oversees (the “Improvement Bonus”). For fiscal year ended March 28, 2015, Mr. Lott received non-equity incentive compensation in the amount of $432,977, of which $340,840 was Target Bonus and $92,137 was Improvement Bonus. See the Summary Compensation Table on page 11.
Long-Term Compensation
The existing stock incentive program of Cavco, which is subject to annual review and may be revised or superseded in the future, is designed to provide incentive to the participants under such program, which include the named executive officers, to focus on maximizing Cavco’s return to stockholders and to plan and prepare properly for Cavco’s future. Stock options or grants of restricted stock may be granted at the fair market value on the date of the grant under the 2005 Plan.
Pursuant to his Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, in Fiscal Year 2015 Mr. Stegmayer earned supplemental long-term cash incentive payments consisting of (i) a special performance bonus, in the amount of $1 million, based upon the attainment of certain 4-year compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) performance targets, which was paid on February 13, 2015; and (ii) a cash award of $3 million, which was conditioned upon Mr. Stegmayer’s employment by the Company on December 31, 2014. The $3 million cash award is payable in six annual installments of $500,000 (plus interest thereon as provided in the agreement) of which the first installment was made on January 16, 2015.
On July 22, 2014, consistent with the terms of Mr. Stegmayer’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, Cavco granted to Mr. Stegmayer a non-qualified option to purchase 16,900 shares of common stock, which has a Black-Scholes value of 100% of Mr. Stegmayer’s base salary for fiscal year 2015, subject to minor rounding as provided in the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement. The grant to Mr. Stegmayer is subject to a four year pro-rata vesting schedule commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date. In determining the vesting of the awards made, the Compensation Committee followed the Company’s legal obligations set forth in Mr. Stegmayer’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement.
On July 22, 2014, consistent with Cavco’s objective of creating incentives for its executive officers to increase stockholder returns by establishing a direct and substantial link to executive compensation, Cavco granted nonqualified options to purchase 3,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Lott and options to purchase 4,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Urness. The grant to Mr. Lott was based upon the recommendation of Mr. Stegmayer. The grant to Mr. Urness represents a Black-Scholes value of 50% of Mr. Urness’ base salary for fiscal year 2015. These grants are subject to a four year pro-rata vesting schedule commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date, which is consistent with the Company’s past practice and typical vesting schedule.
Perquisites and Other Compensation
Cavco does not offer perquisites to its named executive officers. The named executive officers may participate in Cavco’s 401(k) plan and other health and welfare programs that are available to all other full-time employees.

Employment, Severance, and Change in Control Agreements
Mr. Stegmayer’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is currently in its first extended term and will automatically extend for successive one-year periods unless the Board or Mr. Stegmayer elects not to renew the term by notice to the other at least 90 days prior to the end of the then current term. The Agreement provides for (a) a minimum base annual salary of $500,000, subject to periodic review and adjustment by the Compensation Committee, but in no event can the base salary be reduced without Mr. Stegmayer’s consent; (b) non-equity incentive compensation in an amount equal to (i) 5% of the first $4 million of pre-tax income of the Company for the fiscal year, plus (ii) 6% of the next $16 million of pre-tax income of the Company for the fiscal year, plus (iii) 3% of pre-tax income of the Company for the fiscal year above $20 million, provided that the cash award on pre-tax earnings of any material assets or businesses acquired after June 30, 2011 shall be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole judgment, in good faith, in consultation with Mr. Stegmayer; and (d) an annual grant of options to acquire shares of the Common Stock of the Company, the value of which shall equal 100% of Mr. Stegmayer’s then base salary using the Black-Scholes option value model (vesting criteria and vesting timing shall be at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee). Notwithstanding the Agreement, the amount of non-equity incentive compensation payable to Mr. Stegmayer in any year is subject to a $1,000,000 cap pursuant to the 2005 Plan.
The Agreement includes a supplemental long-term cash incentive which was achieved by Mr. Stegmayer on December 31, 2014. This long-term incentive consisted of (i) a special performance bonus, in the amount of up to $1 million, which was conditioned upon the attainment of the following 4-year CAGR performance targets, using the Company’s pre-tax earnings for the four fiscal quarters ended on December 31, 2010 as a base year (i.e., calendar year 2010) compared to the four fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2014 (i.e., calendar year 2014): below 30%, vesting is 0%; 30%, vesting is 50%; 40%, vesting is 80%; and 50% and greater, vesting is 100% (computed on a pro-rata basis); and (ii) a cash award of $3 million, which was conditioned upon Mr. Stegmayer’s employment by the Company on December 31, 2014, subject to the exceptions discussed below.
The special performance bonus in the amount of $1 million was paid on February 13, 2015. The cash award of $3 million is payable in $500,000 increments (together with simple interest at 5% per annum on the unpaid balance) between January 1 and January 30 in each of the years 2015 through 2020. The first installment was paid on January 16, 2015. There are no further supplemental long-term cash incentive amounts available to Mr. Stegmayer under the Agreement.
The Agreement includes provisions for certain payments to be made upon his termination or resignation. If Cavco terminates Mr. Stegmayer’s employment and such termination constitutes a Termination for Cause (as defined in the employment agreement), or if Mr. Stegmayer voluntarily resigns prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the employment agreement) of Cavco and such resignation does not constitute a Termination for Good Reason (as defined in the employment agreement), then Mr. Stegmayer is entitled to receive only his then current base salary on a pro rata basis to the date of such termination or resignation. If prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, Mr. Stegmayer dies or becomes Disabled (as defined in the employment agreement), or if Cavco terminates his employment and such termination constitutes a Termination Without Cause or Mr. Stegmayer terminates his employment and such termination constitutes a Termination for Good Reason, then Mr. Stegmayer shall be entitled to the following: (a) continued payment of his then current base salary for each fiscal year under the remaining term of the employment agreement plus one year following the expiration of the term; (b) a single lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to two times his Average Annual Bonus (as defined in the employment agreement) for the preceding two fiscal years; and (c) continued health insurance benefits for a period of 18 months. If within two years after the occurrence of a Change in Control of Cavco: (a) Cavco terminates Mr. Stegmayer’s employment and such termination constitutes a Termination Without Cause; or (b) Mr. Stegmayer voluntarily resigns his employment for any reason, then in each case Cavco must pay to Mr. Stegmayer a lump sum termination payment equal to two times the sum of his then current base salary and Average Bonus. The Agreement also provides that Mr. Stegmayer will not disclose any confidential information of the Company during or after the term of the agreement.

During his employment with the Company and for a period of two years following his resignation or termination (and in no event for a period of less than four years from the effective date of the employment agreement), Mr. Stegmayer is precluded from engaging in any business or associating with any entity that is actively engaged in any competitive business with the Company or any of its affiliates, in any geographic area in which the Company conducts business or sells products.
The table below reflects the amount of compensation that would have been payable to Mr. Stegmayer in the event of termination of his employment, as provided in the Agreement. The amounts shown assume that termination was effective as of March 28, 2015, and are estimates of the amounts that would have been paid to Mr. Stegmayer upon his termination. The actual amounts that would be payable can be determined only at the time of termination. We have not included below any accrued but unpaid salary or payment of accrued and vested benefits and unused vacation time, as those amounts would be paid in the event of termination of employment for any reason. Equity awards that are not subject to acceleration and the value of health benefits, which is nominal, are not included below.

Director Compensation
Only non-employee directors are compensated for service as a director. Upon commencement of service, non-employee directors receive a one-time grant of an option to purchase 10,000 shares of Cavco common stock. Effective March 29, 2015, non-employee directors receive annual compensation in the form of a $40,000 retainer fee, a grant of an option to purchase 4,000 shares of Cavco common stock on the anniversary of the director’s election to the Board, and an additional $2,500 for each Board meeting attended in person and $1,500 for each meeting attended by telephone. Members of Board committees also receive a fee of $1,500 for each committee meeting attended in person or by telephone. The chairperson of the Audit Committee receives an additional $10,000 per year for such service and the chairperson of the Compensation Committee receives an additional $4,000 per year for such service. All Board members are reimbursed for reasonable expenses of attending Board and committee meetings.
All options awarded to non-employee directors have a seven-year term and a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock of Cavco on the date of grant. All options awarded prior to April 1, 2010, become exercisable at the rate of 25% on the date of grant and 25% on the following three anniversaries of the date of grant. Options awarded on or after April 1, 2010, become exercisable at the rate of 50% on the date of grant and 50% on the first anniversary of the date of grant. All rights to exercise the options terminate within four months of the date that the non-employee director ceases to be a director of Cavco for any reason other than death or disability; in the case of a director’s death, the options terminate fifteen months thereafter and in the case of disability and resulting termination of the directorship, then the options terminate six months after such date of termination. However, if the non-employee director held the position for at least ten years, the options will vest on the date that the non-employee director ceases to be a director and all rights to exercise the options will terminate three years thereafter, but in no event may the options be exercised later than seven years from the date of grant.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
Cavco has established policies and other procedures regarding approval of transactions between Cavco and any employee, officer, director, and certain of their family members and other related persons, including those required to be reported under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. These policies and procedures are generally not in writing, but are evidenced by long standing principles set forth in our code of conduct or adhered to by our Board. As set forth in the Audit Committee Charter, as and to the extent required under applicable federal securities laws and related rules and regulations, and/or the NASDAQ Rules, related party transactions are to be reviewed and approved, if appropriate, by the Audit Committee. Generally speaking, we enter into such transactions only on terms that we believe are at least as favorable to Cavco as those that we could obtain from an unrelated third party.
Director Independence
The Board has determined that, other than Joseph H. Stegmayer, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, that each of the current members of the Board is an “independent director” for purposes of the NASDAQ Listing Rules and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act, as the term relates to membership on the Board and the various committees of the Board. NASDAQ’s independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director has not been an employee of the Company within the past three years and has not engaged in various types of business dealings with the Company. In addition, as further required by NASDAQ rules, our Board has made an affirmative subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
Annually, each director and executive officer of the Company is obligated to complete a general Director and Officer Questionnaire and a non-employee Director is obligated to complete a Non-Management NASDAQ Director Independence and Committee Compliance Questionnaire which require disclosure of any transactions with the Company in which the director or executive officer, or any member of his or her family, have a direct or indirect material interest.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures pre-approving all audit and permissible non-audit services performed by Ernst & Young LLP. Under these policies, the Audit Committee pre-approves the use of audit and specific permissible audit-related and non-audit services up to certain dollar limits. Services that do not come under this authority must be pre-approved separately by the Audit Committee. In determining whether or not to pre-approve services, the Audit Committee determines whether the service is a permissible service under the SEC’s rules and, if permissible, the potential effect of such services on the independence of Ernst & Young LLP.
The aggregate fees billed for professional services by Ernst & Young LLP in the last two fiscal years are reported in the following table.
