Our report dated May 1, 2006, on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, expresses our opinion that Hooper Holmes, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, because of the effect of material weaknesses on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria and contains an explanatory paragraph that states that material weaknesses were identified in the following areas: inadequate financial statement preparation and review procedures; ineffective controls over the application of unapplied cash receipts; inadequate management oversight of subsidiaries’ financial information; inadequate review of customer contracts; and inadequate expertise in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
