ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation
of our disclosure controls and procedures, which have been designed to ensure that information we are required to
disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
accurately and within the time periods specified in the Commission rules and forms. Our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, those controls and
procedures were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, we did not make any changes in our internal control over
financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting,
as such term is defined in Rules13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial
reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
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 risk that controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies may deteriorate.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2015 using the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that evaluation, management
believes that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2015.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, has been audited by
Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”), the independent registered public accounting firm who also has audited our
Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report. Ernst & Young’s report on our internal control over financial
reporting appears on the following page.
