objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible
controls and procedures. Based upon the above evaluation, we believe that our controls provide such reasonable assurances.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2015 that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) for the Company. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable
assurance to Charters management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial
statements.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of 2015. In making this assessment,
we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal
Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on management’s assessment utilizing these criteria we believe that, as of
December 31, 2015, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
Our independent auditors, KPMG LLP, have audited our internal control over financial reporting as stated in their report on page
F-2.
