Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management (with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer)
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on
the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of August 29, 2009.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has also audited the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of August 29, 2009, as stated in their
attestation report which is included under Item 8 of this Report.
