This excerpt taken from the COGO 10-K filed Mar 16, 2009. MANAGEMENTS REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) for Cogo Group, Inc. (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Group). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, transactions and dispositions of our assets, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company, and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives. 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 policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of Cogos internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In its evaluation, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management believes that as of December 31, 2008, the Companys internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria. The Boards managements assessment of the effectiveness of the Companys internal controls over financial reporting excluded those of Long Rise Holdings Limited, a company acquired during 2008. Long Rise Holdings Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company whose total assets of RMB 34.8 million and total revenue of RMB 37.3 million included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008. If adequately disclosed, companies are allowed to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of internal control over financial reporting during the first year of an acquisition while integrating the acquired company under guidelines established by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on our assessment and the criteria described above, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting was effective. The Companys independent registered public accounting firm has issued an audit report on managements assessment of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
