Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our 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. 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 established policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the results of this evaluation, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included in Item 15(a)(1) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting

 

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s 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. 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 established policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management has completed its evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004.  In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria described in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 

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.  Management’s assessment identified the following material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004:

 

(i) As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not maintain effective control over the accuracy and completeness of maintenance and services revenues and deferred revenues.  Specifically, effective controls were not in place to recognize maintenance and services revenue in the appropriate period.  This control deficiency resulted in the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, for the first and second quarters of 2004 and for the first, second and third quarters of 2003.  Additionally, this control deficiency could result in a misstatement of maintenance and services revenue and deferred revenue that would result in a material misstatement to annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.  Accordingly, management determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

 

(ii) As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not maintain effective control over property and equipment.  Specifically, effective controls were not in place to verify the existence of certain property and equipment.  This control deficiency did not result in an adjustment to the Company’s consolidated financial statements; however, it could result in a misstatement of property and equipment that would result in a material misstatement to annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.  Accordingly, management determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

 

(iii) As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not maintain effective control over the period-end financial reporting

process.  Specifically, review and approval controls over quarterly financial results and related disclosures did not operate as designed for a sufficient period of time to demonstrate that they operate effectively.  This control deficiency did not result in an adjustment to the Company’s consolidated financial statements; however, it could result in a misstatement of accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.  Accordingly, management determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

 

Because of the material weaknesses discussed above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 based on the criteria in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework.
