ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this annual report, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”). This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of
our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on this evaluation,
these officers have concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by
Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, are effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, such as this
annual report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules
and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Design and Evaluation of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our management included a report of their
assessment of the design and effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as part of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report and the independent registered public
accounting firm’s attestation report are included in Item 8 under the caption entitled “Management’s Report on
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” and “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” and are
incorporated herein by reference.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended
December 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over
financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
