Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
Our 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 U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our
transactions and dispositions of our assets;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts
and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our
directors; and
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use,
or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
Our management 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 this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over
financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 has been audited by
KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in Item 15(a)
of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
