MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING  The company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over  financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f)). 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 March 31, 2010. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the  Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in  Internal Control— Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment we believe that, as of March 31, 2010, the company’s  internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.  Deloitte & Touche LLP, the company’s registered public accounting firm that audited the company’s financial  statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of  the company’s internal control over financial reporting which appears on page F-3.
