Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management,
under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our 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. Based on its evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over
financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Deloitte & Touche, LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the financial
statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on our internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, which is included herein.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter ended December 31,
2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting.
