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 or compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In conducting
this evaluation, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on our evaluation and those
criteria, our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.
The effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, has been audited by
Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm who also audited our consolidated
financial statements. Deloitte & Touche’s attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting appears on page F-2.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
Company’s fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
