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 control 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 31, 2012 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 31, 2012.
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 concerning the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting as of March 31, 2012. That report is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
