Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by
this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of
the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) and a report of KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, on
the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting are incorporated by reference to Item 8,
"Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this report.
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended
