Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
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 management, including our CEO and CFO, 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
Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework,
our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
January 30, 2010.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, has audited our
Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and have issued a
report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 30, 2010. Their
report appears as part of the ‘‘Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm’’ on page F-2
of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
fiscal quarter ended January 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
