Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s applicable rules and forms. Disclosure
controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be in this report is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily
applies its judgment in evaluating the possible controls and procedures. Each reporting period, we carry out an
evaluation, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons
performing similar functions, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
Based on management’s evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or
persons performing similar functions, have concluded that, as of September 27, 2013, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports
that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the applicable rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated
to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing
similar functions, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal
quarter ended September 27, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
