Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined
in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
‘‘Exchange Act’’)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period,
our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management’s Annual 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 Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have 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 has concluded that, as of February 26, 2011, we did not have any
material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and our internal control over
financial reporting was effective.
Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte &
Touche LLP, on our internal control over financial reporting is included after the next paragraph.
(c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our fourth fiscal quarter
ended February 26, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
