We refer to your assessment of internal control over financial report. Please amend your Form 10-K to revise the disclosure to provide a statement as whether or not internal control over financial report is effective. Refer to Io Item 308(T)(a)(a) of Regulation S-K.
Response: (Page number 35.) The disclosure has been revised to read as follows:
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). 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.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, using the criteria established inInternal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
