Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable
assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial
statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems
determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31,
2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
The Company’s independent auditors have issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. This report appears on the following page.
