FORM 10-K
Based on management’s evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have
concluded that, as of September 25, 2015, 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 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.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal
quarter ended September 25, 2015 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 25,
2015. 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 (2013). Based
on our assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was
effective as of September 25, 2015.
Our internal control over financial reporting as of September 25, 2015, has been audited by Deloitte &
Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report provided following the
Index to Consolidated Financial Statements, which is presented following Item 15 of this report.
Item 9B. Other Information.
None.
