ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Not applicable.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a) —
15(e) and 15(d) — 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the end of the Company’s fiscal
year ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (its principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) have concluded that the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is
designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the
preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance
with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of
September 30, 2007. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2007, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
was effective based on these criteria.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has issued an audit report on the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which follows.
