An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures inthe consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, includingthe assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whetherdue to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant tothe Company's preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true andfair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit alsoincludes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of theaccounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of theconsolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour audit opinion.
