Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered LEDC’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of LEDC’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of LEDC’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control existswhen thedesignoroperationofacontroldoesnotallowmanagement or employees, in thenormal course ofperforming their assigned functions, to prevent,ordetect andcorrect, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses my exist that have not been identified
