Wilhelmina International, Inc.

Filing Date	Source Excerpt
2005-05-02	The Audit Committee is currently comprised of James Risher, who is not an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Audit Committee is only comprised of one director although the Charter of the Audit Committee provides that at least three directors shall serve as members of the Audit Committee.

During fiscal 2004, up until the Newcastle Transaction, the members of the Audit Committee were Gary D. Becker, Justin L. Ferrero and Stephen M. Wagner. The Audit Committee meets with the independent auditors and management representatives, recommends to the Board of Directors appointment of independent auditors, approves the scope of audits and other services to be performed by the independent auditors, considers whether the performance of any professional services by the auditors other than services provided in connection with the audit function could impair the independence of the auditors and reviews the results of audits and the accounting principles applied in financial reporting and financial and operational controls. The independent auditors have unrestricted access to the Audit Committee and vice versa. The Board of Directors has determined that James Risher satisfies the "audit committee financial expert" criteria established by the SEC. The Audit Committee held two meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. James Risher is independent as independence is defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASD listing standards.
