REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of SYSCO Corporation (“SYSCO”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting for the company. SYSCO’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of published financial
statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those
systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation
and presentation.
SYSCO’s management assessed the effectiveness of SYSCO’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007.
In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of
June 30, 2007, SYSCO’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
