MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL 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 Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision of our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used criteria issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework
(2013). Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as of
December 31, 2014.
