ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, management of the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, or the “Exchange Act”) as of December 31, 2012 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective and provide reasonable assurance (i) to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission
rules and forms; and (ii) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or
submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended
December 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting. In addition, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company’s independent registered
public accounting firm, has attested to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The attestation report
is included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not
expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls will prevent or detect all possible
misstatements due to error and fraud. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls are,
however, designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are
effective at that reasonable assurance level.
