Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act).
As of the end of the period covered by this Report, our management evaluated, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and
Principal Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based
on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded, as of that time, that our disclosure controls
and procedures were effective.
Management’s 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
Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-
15(f). Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and
Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how
well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with
respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
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 assessment and those criteria, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012.
Ernst & Young, LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm who also audited our consolidated financial statements, has issued an
attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, which is included herein.
Changes in internal controls
During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-
15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
None.
