PART II
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. As required by Securities and Exchange Commission Rules 13a-15(b) we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (who is also the Chief Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.
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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.
     Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In making its assessment, management used the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on its evaluation, management has concluded that, as of March 31, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting had a material weakness related to our financial reporting process. A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant 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.
     The application of our policies and procedures did not provide for effective oversight and review of our financial reporting process. Specifically, (i) application of our policies and procedures did not include adequate management review of manually prepared schedules and (ii) our consolidation process is manually intensive and includes a significant amount of top-sided journal entries. This material weakness resulted in material errors in our consolidated financial statements that were corrected prior to the issuance of our 2008 consolidated financial statements.
     Management concluded that this material weakness largely resulted from the excessively manual-intensive nature of our consolidation process, exacerbated by insufficient resources relating to: the incremental reporting requirements resulting from the acquisition of Saitek in November 2007, and the ensuing integration of the financial operations of the five Saitek operating companies, including the need to develop controls and procedures consistent with public company standards for U.S. GAAP reporting in the Saitek operating entities, which previously were not subject to such reporting requirements.
     This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
     Except for that described below, there has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting. Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies which may be identified during this process.
Remediation of Material Weakness
     Upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Company has formed a Remediation Committee comprised of certain positions within key functional areas of the Company, chaired by the Chief Financial Officer and reporting jointly to the President/Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Audit Committee, to develop and implement a remediation plan to address the material weakness as well as other internal control deficiencies identified from the completion of the Company’s evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting.
     To remediate the material weakness described above, the Company has implemented or plans to implement the remedial measures described below. In addition, the Company plans to continue its evaluation of its controls and procedures and may, in the future, implement additional enhancements:
  •   We have begun to develop and implement new reporting instructions and checklists for the newly-acquired foreign subsidiaries’ accounting functions.
 
  •   We intend to pursue alternatives to upgrade our information technology tools to minimize the manual process currently required to record, process, summarize and report information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
  •   We will consider retaining additional senior accounting personnel with specific responsibilities to improve the oversight and review of financial reporting.
 
  •   We will consider additional management reviews of manually prepared schedules.
