   While Mr. Burstein is not an independent director, as defined by such standards (due to his relationship to a law firm that represents LAZARE KAPLAN INTERNATIONAL INC), the Board has determined that Mr. Burstein's membership on the Audit Committee is required by the best interests of LAZARE KAPLAN INTERNATIONAL INC and its stockholders, because Mr. Burstein has served on the Audit Committee of the Company for many years, and, as a result, he is very familiar with the work and responsibilities of the Committee, and the financial analysis that is required. That determination was also based on the Board's belief that Mr. Burstein's extensive prior professional experience would enhance the Committee's effectiveness in fulfilling its responsibilities. The Compensation Committee is responsible for recommending to the Board of Directors policies with respect to compensation and benefits of the Chairman of the Board and the Vice Chairman of the Board and President of LAZARE KAPLAN INTERNATIONAL INC and for fixing the compensation and benefits of the other executive officers of the Company. The Stock Option Committee is responsible for administering LAZARE KAPLAN INTERNATIONAL INC's 1988 Stock Option Incentive Plan (the '1988 Plan') and LAZARE KAPLAN INTERNATIONAL INC's 1997 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the '1997 Plan' and the 1997 Plan together with the 1988 Plan, collectively, the 'Plans'), including the designation of employees to be granted options, prescribing the terms and conditions of options granted under the Plans, interpreting the Plans and making all other determinations deemed necessary for the administration of the Plans. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002, there were four meetings of the Board of Directors, three meetings of the Audit Committee, one meeting of the Compensation Committee and one meeting of the Stock Option Committee. Each incumbent director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board and all of the committees thereof on which he served during the fiscal year. All outside directors receive a fee equal to $1,250 per quarter.
