Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance
that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of
September 24, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable
assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported as and when required.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the
quarter ended September 24, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, these internal controls.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control
over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
Company’s assets, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
