Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by
this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over
financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an assessment of our
internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on the assessment,
management concluded that, as of January 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting is effective. The
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2009, has been audited by Deloitte & Touche
LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
