We, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an
evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of the end of the
period covered by this Annual Report, that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company (as defined in Rules 13a-
15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control system as of January 31, 2015. In making its assessment, we used the recently issued criteria set
forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this
assessment, management concluded that it maintained effective internal control over financial reporting, as of January 31, 2015.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report covering our internal control over financial
reporting, as stated in its report which begins on page F-1 of this Annual Report.
