FORM 10-K
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC
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, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In accordance with the SEC’s published guidance, the
internal control over financial reporting of Protectron, which was acquired on July 8, 2014, was excluded from
our evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 26, 2014. As of
September 26, 2014, Protectron’s assets and equity represent approximately 5.8% and 6.7% of our assets and
equity, respectively. For fiscal year 2014, Protectron’s revenue and net income each represent approximately
1.0% of our revenue and net income.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal
quarter ended September 26, 2014 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 for the registrant, 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.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 26,
2014. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992).In
accordance with the SEC’s published guidance, the internal control over financial reporting of Protectron, which
was acquired on July 8, 2014, was excluded from our evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of September 26, 2014. As of September 26, 2014, Protectron’s assets and equity represent
approximately 5.8% and 6.7% of our assets and equity, respectively. For fiscal year 2014, Protectron’s revenue
and net income each represent approximately 1.0% of our revenue and net income. Based on our assessment,
management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
September 26, 2014.
Our internal control over financial reporting as of September 26, 2014, has been audited by Deloitte &
Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report provided following the
Index to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements, which is presented following Item 15 of this report.
