CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES  Disclosure Controls and Procedures  Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting  ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION  None  An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management,  including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the  Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of December 31, 2012. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management,  including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and  procedures were effective. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as  defined by Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). The Company’s  internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive  Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the  preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect  misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may  become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may  deteriorate.  Management has made a comprehensive review, evaluation, and assessment of the Company’s internal control over  financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal  control over financial reporting, management used the framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of  the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment, management concluded  that, as of December 31, 2012, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.  This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public  accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by  the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC permitting the Company to  provide only management’s report in the annual report.  There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended  December 31, 2012 that materially affected or were reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control  over financial reporting.
