This excerpt taken from the MRVL 10-Q filed Jul 9, 2007. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting As required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, also conducted an evaluation of our "internal control over financial reporting" as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) to determine whether any changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal third quarter of 2007 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, except as noted above, we noted no additional changes have occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. This excerpt taken from the MRVL 10-K filed Jul 2, 2007. Internal control over financial reporting Also, we have audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that Marvell Technology Group Ltd. and its subsidiaries did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 27, 2007, because of the effect of not maintaining (i) an effective control environment and (ii) effective controls over the accounting for and disclosure of its stock-based compensation expense, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companys management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on managements assessment and on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal 88 control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed 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. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) 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 (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 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. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in managements assessment as of January 27, 2007: This excerpt taken from the MRVL 10-K filed Apr 13, 2006. Internal control over financial reporting Also, in our opinion, managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 8, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2006 based on criteria established in | EXCERPTS ON THIS PAGE:
