Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision
and with the participation of the Company's management, including our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial
reporting based on criteria established in the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, the Company's
management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2005.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, has audited
management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of
March 31, 2005 as stated in their report which appears in Item 8 of this Report.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
