EXPLANATORY NOTE





We are filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 28, 2015, as filed on August 7, 2015 (the “Original Filing”), solely to respond to SEC Comments dated August 31, 2015. In accordance with the SEC Comments, we have amended “Item 4. Controls and Procedures” in its entirety. The Company has also included updated certifications of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as Exhibits 31 and 32 to this Amendment No. 1, as required by Rule 12b-15 promulgated pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


Other than as described above, this Amendment does not modify or update in any way disclosures made in the Original Filing. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing. This Amendment speaks as of the filing date of the Original Filing and does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the original filing date.


I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures





(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.


We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information related to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.


Conclusion regarding the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures


As of June 28, 2015, an evaluation was performed under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 28, 2015 due to the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting discussed below.


(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.


Remedial Measures


As reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2014 we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014.   Our management determined that our internal control related to financial reporting was not effective to ensure the effective design of internal control and that an effective evaluation and review of complex accounting matters had occurred prior to presentation to our external auditors.  We are in the process of remediating the identified deficiency in internal control over financial reporting. However, we have not completed all of the corrective remediation actions that we believe are necessary.


Management believes that significant progress has been made as of the date of this report, in remediating the underlying causes of the material weakness. We have taken, and will continue to take, a number of actions to remediate this material weakness. Among other things, we have engaged third party accounting advisors to assist with non-recurring and complex accounting matters.


We will continue to develop and implement policies and procedures to improve the overall effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Management believes the foregoing efforts will effectively remediate the material weakness. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, management may determine to take additional measures to address the control deficiency or determine to modify the remediation plan described above.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Other than the steps taken to remediate the material weakness described above, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 28, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
