To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
ABC Corporation and Subsidiaries
Anywhere, USA
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ABC Corporation and Subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of
income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2010. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial
statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of ABC Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion,
such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements
taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the
criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 28, 2011, expressed an unqualified
opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
