(the "Company") as of December 31, 20X7 and 20X6, the related statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20X7, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements").

We also have audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20X7, based on Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated February 12, 20X8 expressed an unqualified opinion.
Basis for Opinion (Comment d) These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express reasonable assurance (Comment e) on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards (Comment f). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of all (Comment g)misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
