Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We, as management of THQ Inc. and its subsidiaries (the ‘‘Company’’), are responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed
by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or
persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and
other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts
and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the Company; and
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition,
use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
Management has conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting as of March 28, 2009 based on the control criteria established in a report entitled
Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission. Based on such assessment, we have concluded that the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting is effective as of March 28, 2009.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated
financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K, has issued an audit report on our
internal control over financial reporting. That report appears on page 103.
