Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial
officers and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the Company;
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its 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 risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive and financial officers,
we assessed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 2, 2016, based on criteria for effective
internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management
concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 2, 2016 based on the
specified criteria.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 2, 2016 has been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included
herein.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended January 2, 2016, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
