We are implementing an enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system, including complementary systems that support
our operations and financial reporting, which is expected to significantly impact our business and financial transaction and
reporting processes. This implementation, which is occurring in phases globally over several years, began with a roll-out
to our Canadian subsidiary in April 2012 and is scheduled to go live in the United States in the second quarter of 2014. The
implementation of a worldwide ERP system and associated systems affects the processes that constitute our internal control
over financial reporting and will require continued testing for effectiveness as the implementation progresses.
There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended
December 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
Our independent auditors have issued an audit report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2013, which is included herein.
