Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 2,
2010, the end of fiscal 2009. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework. Based on this assessment, management, under the supervision and with the participation of our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that, as of January 2, 2010, our internal
control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 2, 2010 has been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which
appears on page F-2 to our consolidated financial statements.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent
fiscal quarter (the fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information
