PART I
 
ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
 
 
General
 
Magnetek, Inc. (“Magnetek,” the “Company,” “we,” or “us” ) is a global provider of digital power control systems that are used to control motion and power primarily in material handling, elevator, and energy delivery applications.  Magnetek was founded in 1984 and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: MAG).  Our products are sold directly or through manufacturers’ representatives to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) for incorporation into their products, to system integrators and value-added resellers for assembly and incorporation into end-user systems, to distributors for resale to OEMs and contractors, and to end-users for repair and replacement purposes.  We operate in a single segment, Digital Power Control Systems.
 
Magnetek’s systems consist primarily of programmable motion control and power conditioning systems used in the following applications:  overhead cranes and hoists; elevators; coal mining equipment; and renewable energy sources.  We are North America's largest independent supplier of digital drives, radio controls, software and accessories for industrial cranes and hoists, and we are also the largest independent supplier of digital direct current (“DC”) motion control systems for elevators.  Customers include most of the industrial crane and hoist companies in North America and the world's leading elevator builders.  Our operations are located in North America, predominantly in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, the location of our headquarters.
 
Our goal is to become solidly positioned in markets offering long-term stability, excellent growth potential and profitability.  Our primary focus is on markets where we can apply both our industry expertise and our systems integration model to add value to our customers by improving their production, energy efficiency, manufacturing throughput or safety, while minimizing down time and maintenance costs.  We believe U.S. industry is in the midst of a shift from electro-mechanical power controls to digital power controls, and believe we are positioned to take advantage of this shift through many of our product offerings.  We also believe that wireless controls will be an area of strategic growth for us.  To that end, in February 2008, we acquired the assets and business of Enrange, LLC, a wireless control manufacturer providing radio remote controls for material handling, hydraulic and other industries.  The acquisition enhances our wireless technical expertise, expands our wireless control product portfolio, and allows us to penetrate additional markets.  We will continue to pursue internal growth opportunities in our core product lines, look to expand our current business model geographically, and also pursue external growth through acquisitions in our served or related markets, adding products, technology, market opportunities or capabilities that complement our existing business.  Our focus for the next 12 months will be directed toward aligning our resources and investments with the best growth opportunities, maximizing those opportunities through new product introductions and penetration of new markets.  At the same time, we’ll strive to effectively manage our cost structure and our assets to optimize cash flow and profitability.
 
Product Offerings
 
Magnetek is a leading provider of innovative power control and delivery systems and solutions for overhead material handling applications used in industries such as: aerospace, automotive, steel, aluminum, paper, logging, mining, ship loading, nuclear power plants, locomotive yards, and heavy movable structures.
 
Our material handling products include drive systems, radio remote controls, and braking, collision-avoidance, and electrification subsystems, sold primarily to original equipment manufacturers of overhead cranes and hoists.  We have a significant market share in North America in alternating current (“AC”) control systems and see revenue growth opportunities in DC control systems for retrofit applications and in wireless remote controls.
 
Magnetek also designs, builds, sells, and supports elevator application specific drive products and is recognized as a leader for DC high performance elevator drives, as well as AC drives for low and high performance traction elevators. Our elevator product offerings are comprised of highly integrated subsystems and drives used to control motion primarily in high-rise, high speed elevator applications.  Our products are sold mainly to elevator OEMs and we have a significant share of the available market for DC drives and subsystems used in high-rise elevators.  Magnetek elevator drives currently operate in many of the most recognizable high-rise buildings in the world. We believe opportunities for growth exist in available elevator markets through the introduction of new energy-saving product offerings, the expansion of the breadth of available product offerings to include competitive low-end products for lower performance AC applications, and the use of new product offerings to expand geographically.
 
Magnetek’s energy delivery product offerings include power inverters for fuel cells and wind turbines, which deliver AC power from these energy sources to the utility power grid.  We believe there are revenue growth opportunities in the wind and solar markets which are expected to grow rapidly in North America as these renewable sources of power become increasingly competitive from a cost standpoint with more traditional methods of power generation.  We also provide drives for underground coal mining equipment.
 
We intend to continue to build on our competitive strengths in established material handling and elevator markets and continue to invest in research and development to expand our product portfolio aimed at penetrating growing and emerging markets for digital power-based systems, such as renewable energy, particularly in the utility-scale solar market.

Seasonality
 
Our power control systems for material handling applications represented nearly 54% of our annual revenue in fiscal 2011.  Sales of these products tend to follow capital budgeting and spending patterns of the customer base.  As a result, our revenues are generally strongest in fiscal quarters ending in June and December, with relatively lower revenues in the fiscal quarters ending in March and September.
 
Backlog
 
Our backlog as of the end of fiscal 2011 was $21.0 million versus $22.8 million at the end of fiscal 2010.  The decrease in backlog is primarily due to a decrease of $7.4 million in our backlog of wind inverters, partially offset by an increase of $4.8 million in our backlog of material handling systems.  While we use our backlog figure as an indicator of future sales activity, we have historically had a significant amount of revenue derived from orders that are booked and shipped within the same reporting period.  We expect most of the orders in our backlog to be filled from July 2011 through December 2011.
 
Competition
 
Our primary competitors during fiscal 2011 included: Konecranes Inc., Cattron Group International, Conductix-Wampfler (a division of Delachaux Group), Control Techniques (a division of Emerson Electric), OMRON Corporation, Yaskawa, KEB GmbH, Fujitec, SMA, SatCon Technology, and Xantrex (a division of Schneider Electric).  Some of these companies have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources, larger product portfolios and greater brand recognition than us.
 
Competitive Strengths
 
We believe that we benefit most from competitive advantages in the following areas:
 
Technological Capabilities and Industry Expertise.  We emphasize and leverage our ability to provide custom-designed and customized solutions for power and motion control applications through digital power-electronic technology.  Our technical personnel possess substantial expertise in disciplines central to digital power systems and applications.  These include analog-to-digital circuit design, thermal management technology, and the application of microprocessors, digital signal processors and software algorithms in the development of smart power products.
 
Customer Relationships.  We have established long-term relationships with major manufacturers of cranes and hoists, elevators and mining equipment, among others.  We believe that these relationships have resulted from our reliability and responsiveness, readiness to meet special customer requirements based on innovative technology and application expertise, and the quality and performance of our products.
 
Product Breadth and Systems Sales Channels.  We provide a variety of products in each of our major product lines.  For material handling customers, we serve as a one-stop source providing a full range of crane controls as well as subsystems, including radio controls, brakes and electrification products.  We believe that our well established distribution network constitutes a significant competitive advantage in the North American material handling marketplace.
 
Competitive Weaknesses
 
We consider our primary competitive weaknesses to be our limited size and financial resources.  Based upon current plans and business conditions, we believe that available cash and short-term investments, borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, and internally generated cash flows will be sufficient to fund anticipated operational needs, capital expenditures and other commitments over the next 12 months.  However, some of our competitors have substantially greater financial resources than us.
 
Suppliers and Raw Materials
 
Virtually all materials and components that we purchase are available from multiple suppliers.  During fiscal 2011, raw material purchases accounted for approximately 76% of our total cost of sales.  Production of digital power control systems depends heavily on various electronic components as well as steel and aluminum enclosures and wire harnesses.  We seek to obtain competitive pricing on these raw materials by utilizing multiple suppliers and leveraging our total purchasing requirements.
 
Research and Development
 
Our research and development activities, which are conducted primarily in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, are directed toward developing new products, improving existing products and customizing or modifying products to meet customers’ specific needs.  Total research and development expenditures were approximately $4.4 million, $3.8 million and $3.5 million for our 2011, 2010 and 2009 fiscal years, respectively.
 
Intellectual Property
 
Magnetek holds numerous patents, trademarks and copyrights, and we believe that we hold or license all of the patent, trademark, copyright and other intellectual property rights necessary to conduct our business.  We generally rely upon patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secret laws to establish and maintain our proprietary rights in our technology and products.  There can be no assurance that any of our patents, trademarks or other intellectual property rights will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that any rights granted there under will provide competitive advantages to us.  In addition, there can be no assurance that patents will be issued from pending patent applications filed by us, or that claims allowed on any future patents will be sufficiently broad to protect Magnetek's technology.  Further, the laws of some foreign countries may not permit the protection of our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.  Although we believe the protection afforded by our patents, patent applications, trademarks and copyrights have value, Magnetek's future success will depend primarily on the innovative skills, technological expertise, research and development and management capabilities of our employees rather than on patent, copyright, and trademark protection.

International Operations
 
International sales accounted for 11% of our net sales in fiscal 2011.  We define international sales as sales of products manufactured by our facilities outside the U.S. that are sold outside of the U.S., as well as sales of products manufactured in the U.S. to purchasers outside of the U.S.   For our 2011, 2010 and 2009 fiscal years, revenues derived from domestic sales were $97.6 million, $71.1 million and $84.4 million respectively, and revenues derived from international sales were $12.2 million, $9.5 million and $13.8 million, respectively.  We hold assets in Canada and the United Kingdom totaling $5.2 million, of which $3.4 million are held in Canada and $1.8 million are in the United Kingdom.
 
Employee Relations
 
As of August 1, 2011, we had 120 salaried employees and 191 hourly employees, none of whom were covered by collective bargaining agreements with unions.  We believe that our relationships with our employees are favorable.
 
Available Information
 
Our Internet website address is www.magnetek.com.  Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to these reports that are filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are available free of charge at or through our website.
 
Environmental Matters
 
From time to time, Magnetek has taken action to bring certain facilities associated with previously owned businesses into compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Upon the subsequent sale of certain businesses, we agreed to indemnify the buyers against environmental claims associated with the divested operations, subject to certain conditions and limitations. Remediation activities, including those related to our indemnification obligations, did not involve material expenditures during fiscal years 2011, 2010 or 2009.
 
We have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state agencies as a potentially responsible party for cleanup costs associated with alleged past waste disposal practices at several previously utilized, owned or leased facilities and offsite locations. Our remediation activities as a potentially responsible party were not material in fiscal years 2011, 2010 or 2009.  Although the materiality of future expenditures for environmental activities may be affected by the level and type of contamination, the extent and nature of cleanup activities required by governmental authorities, the nature of our alleged connection to the contaminated sites, the number and financial resources of other potentially responsible parties, the availability of indemnification rights against third parties and the identification of additional contaminated sites, our estimated share of liability, if any, for environmental remediation, including our indemnification obligations, is not expected to be material.
 
For a discussion of environmental-related litigation matters in which we are engaged, please refer to Item 3 - “Legal Proceedings” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
We are involved from time to time in legal actions for product liability and other matters that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are also involved in legal actions associated with our discontinued business operations, including product liability, asbestos-related liability, patent matters, and environmental proceedings relating to cleanup costs associated with alleged past waste disposal practices at several previously utilized, owned or leased facilities and offsite locations. It is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of any of these unresolved legal actions or proceedings or the range of possible loss or recovery. A more detailed discussion of these matters appears in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, including a discussion of whether or not these unresolved matters will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations

Litigation—Product Liability
 
In August 2006, Pamela L. Carney, Administrator of the Estate of Michael J. Carney, filed a lawsuit in the Court of Common Pleas of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, against us and other defendants, alleging that a product manufactured by our Telemotive Industrial Controls business that we acquired in December 2002 contributed to an accident that resulted in the death of Michael J. Carney in August 2004. The claim has been tendered to our insurance carrier and legal counsel has been retained to represent us. We are defending the action on the basis of findings that the operator/owner of the product, Alleghany Ludlum Corporation, improperly maintained or modified the product, which led to its alleged failure.  In March 2010, our primary carrier, Travelers, denied coverage under a reservation of rights.  This followed our excess coverage carrier, AIG/AISLIC, denying coverage in June 2009.  Travelers has agreed to continue to pay defense counsel to defend the case and has authorized defense counsel to undertake the defense of the “pass through” vendor PDS.  Plaintiff’s claim for damages is unknown at this time. The case is in the discovery phase and no trial date has been set.
 
We have been named, along with multiple other defendants, in asbestos-related lawsuits associated with business operations we previously acquired, but which are no longer owned. During our ownership, none of the businesses produced or sold asbestos-containing products. With respect to these claims, we believe that we have no such liability.  For such claims, we are uninsured, contractually indemnified against liability, or contractually obligated to defend and indemnify the purchaser of these former Magnetek business operations.   We aggressively seek dismissal from these proceedings. Management does not believe the asbestos proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.
 
We also filed claims in the Federal-Mogul bankruptcy proceedings to recover attorney’s fees for the defense of asbestos-related claims. In May 2007, we entered into a settlement agreement with Federal Mogul under which we were entitled to receive amounts from a settlement trust established under Federal-Mogul’s reorganization plan and funded by insurance proceeds. We were entitled to receive 15% of the first $20 million and 10% of the next $25 million of insurance proceeds, up to a maximum of $5.5 million, in exchange for withdrawing our bankruptcy claims and objections to the reorganization plan and execution of certain releases. In January 2009, we received a payment of $1.0 million under the settlement agreement, which brought the total proceeds received under the settlement agreement to $5.5 million, the maximum amount to which we were entitled.  The consolidated statements of operations include $0.5 million of income from the settlement trust in results of discontinued operations for fiscal year 2009.  This amount represents primarily the recovery of previously incurred legal fees for the defense of these asbestos related lawsuits.  Several insurance carriers filed a declaratory judgment action relating to insurance coverage for such previously acquired businesses, seeking a determination that no coverage is available under the policies. Federal-Mogul, us and other defendants filed responsive pleadings and motions relating to the case, and the court granted the motions to stay the declaratory judgment action. Some of these insurers appealed such ruling but the ruling was upheld on appeal in November 2008.  Management does not believe the asbestos proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.
 
Given the nature of the above issues, uncertainty of the ultimate outcome, and inability to estimate the potential loss, no amounts have been reserved for these matters.
 
Litigation—Patent Infringement and Related Proceedings
 
In August 2008, we filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, County Department, Law Division, against Kirkland & Ellis, LLP (“K&E”). The lawsuit involves a claim for breach of professional responsibility arising out of K&E’s representation of Magnetek in the patent infringement action, Ole K. Nilssen v Magnetek, Inc. We allege that, as a result of K&E’s negligent breach of professional duty in failing to discover or investigate the existence of prior art and prior misconduct which would have made Nilssen’s patent claim unenforceable or invalidated his patent, we suffered an arbitration award and judgment in the amount of $23.4 million, which judgment was ultimately settled by the payment to Nilssen of $18.75 million. We are seeking damages in the amount of $18.75 million, reimbursement of reasonable costs and attorneys fees incurred in the proceeding to vacate the arbitration award and settlement thereof, and costs incurred in connection with this lawsuit. On April 5, 2010,

the Circuit Court of Cook County dismissed the complaint against K&E for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.  The Court relied upon a then recent Illinois appellate decision in which the Court held that attorney malpractice cases arising out of the prosecution or defense of federal patent claims raised federal questions for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.  An appeal has been taken to the Illinois Appellate Court.  On April 7, 2010, we filed a substantially identical complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.  The new federal complaint seeks damages in the amount of $18.8 million, plus any additional damages as may be warranted by the evidence introduced at trial.  On June 7, 2010, K&E entered a motion in federal court to have our complaint dismissed as being “time-barred” or filed beyond the applicable two year statute of limitations.  We filed its responsive brief on July 15, 2010, arguing, among other things, that the doctrine of equitable tolling applies effectively suspending the running of the statute of limitations.  On June 30, 2011, the Illinois Appellate Court reversed the Circuit Court of Cook County and remanded the case to the trial court.  K&E filed a petition for rehearing with the Appellate Court which request was denied on July 28, 2011.

As we previously reported, Universal Lighting Technologies, Inc. (“ULT”) and Nilssen entered into a consent judgment in April 2008, for dismissal, on collateral estoppel grounds, of the patent infringement lawsuit filed by Nilssen against ULT.  We had provided the defense in the lawsuit pursuant to an indemnification claim from ULT subject to the terms of the sale agreement under which ULT purchased Magnetek’s lighting business in 2003.  In September 2009, Nilssen and ULT entered into a settlement agreement relating to attorney’s fees.  Under the settlement agreement, Nilssen paid to Magnetek an amount of $0.75 million as attorney’s fees as well as a nominal amount for costs.  However, if Nilssen files a Rule 60 Motion and is successful such that ULT ceases to be the “prevailing party” and is no longer entitled to attorney’s fees, then we are obligated to refund the $0.75 million attorney’s fees settlement amount.  As such, the amount paid to us represents a contingent gain and accordingly, is included in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of July 3, 2011.  At present, further proceedings are stayed pending the outcome of separate appellate matters.
 
Litigation—Other
 
In November 2007, a lawsuit was filed by Antonio Canova in Italy, in the Court of Arezzo, Labor Law Section, against us and Power-One Italy, S.p.A. Mr. Canova is a former Executive Vice President of Magnetek and was Deputy Chairman and Managing Director of our former Italian subsidiary, Magnetek S.p.A. Mr. Canova asserted claims for damages in the amount of 3.5 million Euros (approximately US$4.9 million) allegedly incurred in connection with the termination of his employment at the time of the sale of our power electronics business to Power-One, Inc. in October 2006. The claims against us relate to a change of control agreement and restricted stock grant.  We believe the claim is without merit and intend to vigorously defend against it.

In October 2010, we received a request for indemnification from Power-One, Inc. (“Power-One”) for an Italian tax matter arising out of the sale of our power electronics group to Power-One in October 2006. With a reservation of rights, we affirmed our obligation to indemnify Power-One for certain pre-closing taxes.  The sale included our Italian company, Magnetek, S.p.A., and its wholly owned subsidiary, Magnetek Electronics (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. (the “Power-One China Subsidiary”). The tax authority in Arezzo, Italy, issued a notice of audit report in September 2010 wherein it asserted that the Power-One China Subsidiary had its administrative headquarters in Italy with fiscal residence in Italy and, therefore, is subject to taxation in Italy.  In November 2010, the tax authority issued a notice of tax assessment for the period of July 2003 to June 2004, alleging that taxes of approximately 1.9 million Euros (approximately US$2.7 million) were due in Italy on taxable income earned by the Power-One China Subsidiary during this period.  In addition, the assessment alleges potential penalties calculated at 120% of the tax amount claimed together with interest in the amount of approximately 2.6 million Euros (or approximately US$3.7 million) for the alleged failure of the Power-One China Subsidiary to  file its Italian tax return.  The Power-One China Subsidiary filed its response with the provincial tax commission of Arezzo, Italy in January 2011. The tax authority in Arezzo, Italy issued a tax inspection report in January 2011 for the periods July 2002 to June 2003 and July 2004 to December 2006 claiming that the Power-One China Subsidiary failed to file Italian tax returns for the reported periods.  We believe the Italian tax claims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against them.
 
Litigation - Environmental Matters
 
From time to time, we have taken action to bring certain facilities associated with previously owned businesses into compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Upon the subsequent sale of certain businesses, we agreed to indemnify the buyers against environmental claims associated with the divested operations, subject to certain conditions and limitations. Remediation activities, including those related to our indemnification obligations, did not involve material expenditures during fiscal years 2011, 2010 or 2009.
 
We have also been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and certain state agencies as a potentially responsible party for cleanup costs associated with alleged past waste disposal practices at several previously utilized, owned or leased facilities and offsite locations. Our remediation activities as a potentially responsible party were not material in fiscal years 2011, 2010 or 2009.  Although the materiality of future expenditures for environmental activities may be affected by the level and type of contamination, the extent and nature of cleanup activities required by governmental authorities, the nature of our alleged connection to the contaminated sites, the number and financial resources of other potentially responsible parties, the availability of indemnification rights against third parties and the identification of additional contaminated sites, our estimated share of liability, if any, for environmental remediation, including our indemnification obligations, is not expected to be material.

Bridgeport, Connecticut Facility

In 1986, we acquired the stock of Universal Manufacturing Company (“Universal”) from a predecessor of Fruit of the Loom (“FOL”), and the predecessor agreed to indemnify us against certain environmental liabilities arising from pre-acquisition activities at a facility in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Environmental liabilities covered by the indemnification agreement included completion of additional cleanup activities, if any, at the Bridgeport facility and defense and indemnification against liability for potential response costs related to offsite disposal locations. Our leasehold interest in the Bridgeport facility was assigned to the buyer in connection with the sale of our transformer business in June 2001. FOL, the successor to the indemnification obligation, filed a petition for Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in 1999 and we filed a proof of claim in the proceeding for obligations related to the environmental indemnification agreement. We believe that FOL had substantially completed the clean-up obligations required by the indemnification agreement prior to the bankruptcy filing. In November 2001, we entered into an agreement with FOL involving the allocation of certain potential tax benefits and we withdrew our claims in the bankruptcy proceeding. We further believe that FOL’s obligation to the state of Connecticut was not discharged in the reorganization proceeding.

In October 2006, Sergy Company, LLC (“Sergy”), the owner of the Bridgeport facility, filed a lawsuit in Superior Court, Fairfield, Connecticut alleging that we are obligated to remediate environmental contamination at the facility. The case was transferred to the Complex Litigation Docket, Waterbury, Connecticut. Sergy filed an amended complaint alleging a breach of lease obligations and violation of Connecticut environmental statutory requirements, which allegations were denied in our amended answer, affirmative defenses and counterclaims.  Sergy amended its complaint to include additional claims against us under the Connecticut Transfer Act. In January 2011, we reached an agreement in principle with Sergy to resolve the lawsuit, including a payment by us to Sergy in the amount of $85 thousand.   The settlement is contingent upon reducing the agreed terms to writing and obtaining certain approvals to support ongoing groundwater remedial measures.

In January 2007, the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) requested parties, including us, to submit reports summarizing the investigations and remediation performed to date at the site and the proposed additional investigations and remediation necessary to complete those actions at the site. DEP requested additional information from us relating to site investigations and remediation. We retained an environmental consultant to review and prepare reports on historical operations and environmental activities at the Bridgeport facility. In November 2009, we submitted our site summary report and proposed work plan to the DEP and in October 2010 submitted a revised work plan to the DEP.  The DEP agreed to the scope of our work plan in November 2010.  We have recorded a liability of $0.4 million related to the Bridgeport facility, representing our best estimate of future site investigation costs and remediation costs which are expected to be incurred in the future. The liability is included in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of July 3, 2011.
 
In April 2008, the Commissioner of Environmental Protection (“CTCEP”) filed an action in Superior Court, Judicial District of Hartford-New Britain at Hartford seeking injunctive relief against Sergy and us, which action was commenced after Sergy cut off power to the Bridgeport facility, thereby disabling a groundwater pump and treatment system previously installed by FOL and currently operated by us. Although we entered into a stipulation with Sergy relating to the start-up and operation of the groundwater pump and treatment system, the CTCEP filed a request to amend the complaint to assert additional claims and to seek further remedies, including injunctive relief and civil penalties, for alleged failure to investigate and remediate pollution under the Connecticut Transfer Act.  In September, 2008 the Hartford Court ordered the case transferred to the Waterbury Court. The lawsuit against us was settled with the CTCEP by means of a stipulation for judgment in compromise and settlement which was approved by the Court in November 2010.  The stipulation, which included payment by us to the CTCEP of $5 thousand, resolves all liability for past activities and requires us to conduct limited additional investigation pursuant to an approved work plan.

FOL’s inability to satisfy its remaining obligations to the state of Connecticut related to the Bridgeport facility and any offsite disposal locations, or in the event a final settlement cannot be achieved and an unfavorable ruling in the lawsuit with the owner of the Bridgeport facility, or the discovery of additional environmental contamination at the Bridgeport facility could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
           Our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 3, 2011.
 
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
           Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed 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.  Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) 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 (iii) 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 Company’s financial statements.
 
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 3, 2011, the end of our fiscal year.  Our management’s assessment was based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
 
Based on the assessment, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of July 3, 2011, the end of our fiscal year.  This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
 
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even effective internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and presentation of financial statements.  Also, projections of any evaluation about the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
(c) Changes in Controls and Procedures
 
           No change in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period ended July 3, 2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.
 
ITEM 9B.  OTHER INFORMATION
 
           No other information is required to be reported for matters not disclosed on Form 8-K during the period ended July 3, 2011.
 
PART III
 
ITEM 10.  DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
