This excerpt taken from the NM 6-K filed May 31, 2007. Accounting Controls. The Company and its subsidiaries maintain systems of
“internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that comply with the requirements of the
Exchange Act and have been designed by, or under the supervision of, their
respective principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, 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, including, but not limited to internal accounting controls
sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed
in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii)
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to
maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in
accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv)
the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at
reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
differences. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of
Sale Information and the Prospectus, there are no material weaknesses in the
Company’s internal controls.
