for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

   

Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

   

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures recorded by us are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and Board of Directors; and

 

   

Provide reasonable assurance regarding 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 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 and procedures may deteriorate.

Management has conducted its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2008, based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Management reviewed the results of the assessment with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Based on its assessment, management determined that, as of December 28, 2008, we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.

Management has conducted its evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2007 based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Management reviewed the results of the assessment with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Based on its assessment, management determined that, as of December 30, 2007, we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission provides an exemption, whereby companies undergoing acquisitions in the year of Section 404 internal control certification, can leave the acquired business out of the scope of testing and assessment, and as a result we have excluded from the scope of our assessment of internal control over financial reporting the operations and related assets of TCFS Holdings, Inc., which we acquired on November 13, 2007. At December 30, 2007 and for the period from November 13, 2007 through December 30, 2007, total assets and total revenues of TCFS Holdings, Inc. represented 50% and 5% of Susser Holdings Corporation’s consolidated total assets and total revenues as of and for the year ended December 30, 2007. TCFS Holdings, Inc. will be included in the evaluation of internal controls beginning in fiscal 2008.
