Precision Computer Works is committed to ethical and socially responsible behavior and to full compliance with all applicable statutory, regulatory and other legal requirements, specifically including federal and state program requirements. Business with integrity is a core value for Precision, and nothing is more important to our company’s success than the strength of its reputation. This Code of Conduct is intended to foster a culture of ethical conduct and to ensure that all employees operating under the auspices of Precision abide by our rules and regulations.

Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations
Obeying the law, both in letter and in spirit, is the foundation on which this Company’s ethical standards are built. All employees and officers must respect and obey the laws, rules and regulations of the cities, states and countries in which we operate. Although employees and officers are not expected to know the details of each of these laws, rules and regulations, it is important to know enough to determine when to seek advice from supervisors, managers or other appropriate personnel.

Conflicts of Interest
A “conflict of interest” exists when a person’s private interest interferes in any way - or even appears to interfere - with the interests of the Company. A conflict situation can arise when an employee or officer takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her Company work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise when an employee or officer, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in the Company. Loans to, or guarantees of obligations of, employees and officers and their family members by the Company may create conflicts of interest and in certain instances are prohibited by law.

Corporate Opportunities
Employees and officers are prohibited from taking for themselves opportunities that are discovered through the use of corporate property, information or position without the consent of the Board of Directors. No employee or officer may use corporate property, information, or position for personal gain, and no employee or officer may compete with the Company directly or indirectly. Employees and officers owe a duty to the Company to advance the Company’s interests when the opportunity to do so arises.
 

Competition and Fair Dealing
We seek to outperform our competition fairly and honestly. We seek competitive advantages through superior performance, never through unethical or illegal business practices. Stealing proprietary information, possessing trade secret information that was obtained without the owner’s consent, or inducing such disclosures by past or present employees of other companies is prohibited. Each employee and officer should endeavor to respect the rights of and deal fairly with the Company’s customers, suppliers, competitors and employees. No employee or officer should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other illegal trade practice.

Record-Keeping, Financial Controls and Disclosures
All of the Company’s books, records, accounts and financial statements must be maintained in reasonable detail, must appropriately reflect the Company’s transactions, must be promptly disclosed in accordance with any applicable laws or regulations and must conform both to applicable legal requirements and to the Company’s system of internal controls.

Confidentiality
Employees and officers must maintain the confidentiality of proprietary information entrusted to them by the Company or its customers or suppliers, except when disclosure is authorized in writing by the Chief Financial Officer or required by laws or regulations. Proprietary information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors or harmful to the Company or its customers or suppliers if disclosed. It includes information that suppliers and customers have entrusted to us. The obligation to preserve proprietary information continues even after employment ends.
