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). Under the supervision and with the participation of our man-
agement, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial and Accounting Officer, we
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework
in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway

that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of November 30, 2004.
Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of November 30,
2004 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered certified public accounting firm as
stated in their report, which is included in this 2004 Annual Report.
