Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the
Company (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control system as of February 2, 2013. In making its assessment, we
used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control -
Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management concluded that it maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting, as of February 2, 2013.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report covering our
internal control over financial reporting, as stated in its report which begins on page F-1 of this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change was made in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
