Internal control over financial reporting includes the controls themselves, monitoring and internal auditing practices
and actions taken to correct deficiencies as identified.
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.
Our management assessed the effectiveness our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.
Our management’ s assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in
“Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. Our management’ s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial
reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management
reviewed the results of its assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Based on this assessment, our
management determined that, as of December 31, 2007, we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm who audited our consolidated financial statements
included in this Report, has issued a report on our internal control over financial reporting, which is included herein.
