Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting as of June 27, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the
framework established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission and concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control
over financial reporting as of June 27, 2009.
The Company’
s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has audited the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as of June 27, 2009, as stated in its audit report which is
included herein.
