Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of other members of
management, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rules 13a- 15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the
period covered by this report. Based on such evaluations, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective (at the reasonable
assurance level) to ensure that the information required to be included in this report has been recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure
that the information required to be included in this report was accumulated and communicated to management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period that
have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial
reporting.
