~~EXPLANATORY NOTE~~TABLE OF CONTENTS

Littelfuse, Inc. (“we” or the “company”) is filing this report on Form 10-Q/A because the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) approved, on February 4, 2014, management’s recommendation that the company’s previously issued financial statements included in the company’s quarterly report on form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2013, and filed on May 3, 2013 (“Original Form 10-Q”), should no longer be relied upon because of an error resulting from the treatment of tax deductions related to the company’s write-off of its investment in Shocking Technologies, Inc. The tax deductions were determined to be a capital loss for tax purposes, instead of an ordinary loss as the company had previously determined in consultation with a third party expert. The impact of correcting this error is to record a charge to income tax expense of $3.3 million relating to the company’s first fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2013. As a result, the income tax expense recorded by the company in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was understated by $3.3 million, producing an overstatement of net income of $3.3 million. The error was discovered in connection with the annual audit of the company for its fiscal year ended December 28, 2013.

On February 4, 2014, the Committee approved management’s recommendation that the company restate its financial statements for the three months ended March 30, 2013, by filing on this Form 10-Q/A an amendment to the Original Form 10-Q. Prior to the February 4, 2014, determination, management and the Audit Committee discussed these matters with Ernst & Young LLP, the company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The company filed an Item 4.02 current report on Form 8-K on February 5, 2014, relating to this matter.

The company believes the restatement constitutes a material weakness and that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by the Original Form 10-Q. Management has commenced steps to remediate the material weakness associated with the income tax valuation allowance misstatement. For more information on the material weakness and our remediation efforts, please see “Item 4 – Controls and Procedures” of this Form 10-Q/A.

~~This report on Form 10-Q/A restates in its entirety the Original Form 10-Q. The following sections of the Original Form 10-Q have been restated:~~

~~(1)~~
~~Item 1 of Part I, Financial Statements,~~
~~(2)~~
~~Item 2 of Part I, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and~~
~~(3)~~
~~Item 4 of Part I, Controls and Procedures.~~

~~Specifically the following sections have been restated or added:~~

~~(1)~~
~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets,~~
~~(2)~~
~~Consolidated Statements of Net Income,~~
~~(3)~~
~~Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income~~
~~(4)~~
~~Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,~~

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Littelfuse, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S.Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the consolidated balance sheet, statements of net income and comprehensive income and cash flows prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the period ended ~~March 30, 2013~~September 27, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December ~~28, 2013.~~27, 2014. For further information, refer to the company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto incorporated by reference in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December ~~29, 2012.~~28, 2013. The company evaluated subsequent events through the date of its financial statements when filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

~~Restatement~~2. Acquisition of ~~Financial Statements~~Businesses

The company accounts for acquisitions using the purchase method in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” The results of operations of each acquisition have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of the dates of the acquisition.

~~We account for the correction of an error in our previously issued financial statements in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 250,~~~~Accounting Changes and Error Corrections~~. In accordance with the disclosure provisions of ASC Topic 250, when financial statements are restated to correct an error, an entity is required to disclose that its previously issued financial statements have been restated along with a description of the nature of the error, the effect of the correction on each financial statement line item and any per share amount affected for each prior period presented, and the cumulative effect on retained earnings or other appropriate component of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position, as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. See Note 16.

~~2. Reclassifications and Adjustments~~

As disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012, the company determined that in late-November 2012 it began to exercise significant influence over Shocking Technologies (“Shocking”). Accordingly, the company began accounting for the investment in Shocking using the equity method and in accordance with ASC 323, retroactively recorded its proportional share of Shocking's operating losses, which amounted to approximately $4.0 million in 2012. See Note 6 for additional information related to Shocking.

As a result of this retroactive application of the equity method, certain items in the company’s interim results reported on their 2012 Forms 10-Q have been retrospectively restated, as shown in the following tables:

8.7. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

In determining fair value, the company uses various valuation approaches within the fair value measurement framework. Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Applicable accounting literature establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Applicable accounting literature defines levels within the hierarchy based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or identical assets or liabilities in less active markets, such as dealer or broker markets; and

Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable, such as pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques not based on market, exchange, dealer or broker-traded transactions.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value and their classification in the valuation hierarchy.

Investment in Polytronics

The company holds an investment in the equity securities of Polytronics as described in Note 5.4. Equity securities listed on a national market or exchange are valued at the last sales price. Such securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

~~Investment in Shocking Technologies, Inc.~~

The company holds an investment in an unconsolidated affiliate, Shocking Technologies, Inc. (“Shocking”), as described in Note 6, for which thevaluation model that was used to determine the fair value of Shocking at December 29, 2012, was a discounted cash flow model to value Shocking’s equity and then an option pricing method to allocate the equity value to the various classes of stock in Shocking’s capital structure, including Series C and common shares held by the company. Significant unobservable inputs used included an expected two years until liquidity event, a volatility of 35% and a risk free rate of 0.44%. The investment was categorized as Level 3.

~~13.~~ 11.Business Unit Segment Information

The company and its subsidiaries design, manufacture and sell circuit protection devices throughout the world. The company reports its operations by the following business unit segments: Electronics, Automotive, and Electrical. Each operating segment is directly responsible for sales, marketing and research and development. Manufacturing, purchasing, logistics, customer service, finance, information technology and human resources are shared functions that are allocated back to the three operating segments. The CEO allocates resources to and assesses the performance of each operating segment using information about its revenue and operating income (loss) before interest and taxes, but does not evaluate the operating segments using discrete balance sheet information.

Sales, marketing and research and development expenses are charged directly into each operating segment. All other functions are shared by the operating segments and expenses for these shared functions are allocated to the operating segments and included in the operating results reported below. The company does not report inter-segment revenue because the operating segments do not record it. The company does not allocate interest and other income, interest expense, or taxes to operating segments. Although the CEO uses operating income (loss) to evaluate the segments, operating costs included in one segment may benefit other segments. Except as discussed above, the accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the company as a whole.

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources. The CODM is the company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).

~~14.~~12. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI)

In February, 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-02 which requires companies to report, in one place, information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The new guidance allows companies to present this information on the face of the financial statements, if certain requirements are met. Otherwise, the information must be presented in the notes. If a company is unable to identify the line item of net income affected by any significant amount reclassified out of AOCI during a reporting period (including when all reclassifications for the period are not to net income in their entirety), the information must be reported in the notes. In addition, ASU 2013-02 requires detailed reporting about changes in AOCI balances. It requires companies to present details of current-period changes in AOCI for each component of other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements or in the notes. The company adopted the new guidance on December 30, 2012 and will be applied prospectively. There was no impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

The following table sets forth the changes in the components of AOCI by component (in thousands):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Littelfuse Overview

Littelfuse, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “company” or “Littelfuse”) ~~design, manufacture, and sell~~is the worldwide leader in circuit protection offering the industry's broadest and deepest portfolio of circuit protection products and solutions. The company’s devices protect products in virtually every market that uses electrical energy, from consumer electronics to automobiles to industrial equipment. The company’s worldwide revenue in 2013 was $757.9 million and net earnings were $88.8 million. The company conducts its business through three reportable segments, which are defined by markets and consist of Electronics, Automotive, and Electrical. The company’s customer base includes original equipment manufacturers, tier one automotive suppliers and distributors.

In addition to protecting and growing its core circuit protection business, Littelfuse has been investing in power control and sensing technologies. These newer platforms combined with the company’s strong balance sheet and operating cash flow, provide opportunities for ~~use~~increased organic and acquisition growth. The company has set a target to grow 15% per year, 5% organically and 10% through acquisitions.

To maximize shareholder value, the company’s primary strategic goals are to:

●

Grow organically faster than its markets;

●

Double the pace of acquisitions;

●

Sustain high-teens operating margins;

●

Improve return on investment; and

●

Return excess cash to shareholders.

The company serves markets that are directly impacted by global economic trends with significant exposures to the consumer electronics, automotive, industrial and mining end markets. The company’s results will be impacted positively or negatively by changes in these end markets.

Electronics Segment

The Electronics segment sells passive and semiconductor components and modules primarily into the global consumer electronics, general industrial and telecommunications markets. The core electronics markets are characterized by significant Asia competition and price erosion. As a result the company is focusing additional efforts on higher growth, less price sensitive niche markets and higher-power industrial applications. The Hamlin acquisition in 2013 expands the company’s product offering into reed switches which are used in a wide variety of electronic products and go through the same channels as the company’s core electronics products.

Automotive Segment

The Automotive segment is comprised of passenger vehicle circuit protection, commercial vehicle products and sensors. The primary growth drivers for these businesses are increasing global demand for passenger and commercial vehicles and increasing content per vehicle for both circuit protection and sensing products. The move away from internal combustion engines to hybrid and electric drive systems that require more circuit protection is expected to be an additional growth driver. The Hamlin acquisition in 2013 significantly expands the company’s position in automotive sensors.

Electrical Segment

The Electrical segment derives its revenues from power fuses, protection relays and custom products selling primarily into the industrial, mining, solar and oil and gas markets. Custom products sales, after several years of strong growth, have declined due to several large Canadian potash mining projects nearing completion. The company intends to expand this business by moving into new markets such as non-potash mining and oil and gas. Protection relay sales have also slowed due to the general slowdown in the ~~electronics, automotive and electrical markets throughout the world.~~ global mining market.

The automotive segment experienced $0.2 million in favorable currency effects in the ~~first~~third quarter of 2014 primarily due to sales denominated in Korean won. Excluding currency effects, net sales increased $10.1 million or 14% year-over-year.

Electrical sales decreased $0.4 million or 1% to $29.2 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $29.6 million in the third quarter of 2013 primarily from declines in custom and relay sales into the mining market and power fuses into the industrial market. These declines more than offset incremental sales of $5.5 million from the SymCom acquisition. The electrical segment experienced $0.1 million in unfavorable currency effects in the third quarter of 2014 primarily from sales denominated in Canadian dollars. Excluding incremental sales from SymCom and currency effects, net sales decreased $5.8 million or 20% year-over-year.

On a geographic basis, sales in the Americas increased $8.2 million or 9% to $97.9 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $89.7 million in the third quarter of 2013 due primarily to incremental sales of $5.5 million from SymCom offset by $0.1 million in unfavorable currency effects from sales denominated in Canadian dollars. Excluding incremental sales from acquisitions and currency effects, the Americas sales increased $2.9 million or 3% due to the increase in automotive and electronics sales partially offset by decreased electrical sales.

Europe sales increased $4.1 million or 11% to $39.6 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $35.5 million in the third quarter of 2013 mainly due to strong demand for electronics and automotive products and $0.2 million in favorable currency effects.

Asia-Pacific sales increased $4.3 million or 6% to $80.1 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $75.9 million in the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to strong demand for automotive and electronics products and $0.2 million in favorable currency effects primarily from sales denominated in Korean won. Excluding currency effects, net sales increased $4.1 million or 5% year-over-year.

Gross profit was $87.4 million or 40% of net sales for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $81.0 million or 40% of net sales in the same quarter last year. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2013 included a $0.4 million non-cash charge to cost of goods sold for inventory that was stepped-up to fair value as a result of the Hamlin acquisition.

Total operating expense was $47.3 million or 22% of net sales for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $43.4 million or 22% of net sales for the same quarter in 2013. The increase in operating expenses primarily reflects incremental operating expenses of $2.3 million from the SymCom acquisition and $1.1 million of expenses to effect changes in the company’s legal structure that will enable the up-streaming of cash to the U.S.

Operating income for the third quarter of 2014 was approximately $40.1 million compared to operating income of $37.6 million for the same quarter in 2013 primarily due to higher sales partially offset by higher operating expenses as described above.

Interest expense was $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2013 and is primarily related to the company’s revolving credit facility.

Foreign exchange loss (gain), reflecting net gains and losses from balance sheet revaluation, was approximately $0.1 million of income for the third quarter of 2014 and $1.5 million of expense for the third quarter of 2013 and primarily reflects fluctuations in the Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar.

Other (income) expense, net, consisting of interest income, royalties and non-operating income and expense was approximately $2.3 million of income for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $1.4 million of income in the third quarter of 2013.

Income before income taxes was $41.2 million for the third quarter of 2014 compared to income before income taxes of $36.5 million for the third quarter of 2013. Income tax expense was $11.3 million with an effective tax rate of 27.3% for the third quarter of 2014 compared to income tax expense of $9.5 million with an effective tax rate of 26.1% in the third quarter of 2013. The higher effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2014 was primarily due to more income earned in high tax jurisdictions.

Net income for the third quarter of 2014 was $29.9 million or $1.32 per diluted share compared to net income of $27.0 million or $1.19 per diluted share for the same quarter of 2013.

Results of Operations –Nine Months, 2014 compared to 2013

Net sales increased $85.7 million or 15% to $645.4 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to $559.7 million in the first nine months of 2013 due primarily to an incremental $51.8 million from business acquisitions. The company also experienced $4.0 million in favorable foreign currency effects in the first nine months of 2014 as compared to 2013. The favorable foreign currency impact primarily resulted from sales denominated in euros. Excluding incremental sales from acquisitions and currency effects, net sales increased $29.9 million or 5% year-over-year.

Electronics sales increased $41.8 million or 15% to $313.7 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to $271.9 million in the first nine months of 2013 due primarily to strong organic growth in fuse products and incremental sales of $16.3 million from the Hamlin acquisition.

Gross profit for the first nine months of 2013 included a $2.1 million non-cash charge to cost of goods sold for inventory that was stepped-up to fair value as a result of the Hamlin acquisition. Excluding the impact of these charges, gross profit was 39% for the first nine months of 2014 and 40% for the first nine months of 2013. The decline in gross margin is primarily attributable to lower sales in the Electrical market.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of ~~March 30, 2013, $231.8~~September 27, 2014, $365.3 million of the ~~$246.9~~$378.3 million of the company’s cash and cash equivalents was held by foreign subsidiaries. Of the ~~$231.8~~$365.3 million held by foreign subsidiaries, approximately ~~$20.5~~$17.7 million could be repatriated with minimal tax ~~consequences.~~ consequences as of September 27, 2014.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, in conjunction with the post-merger integration of Hamlin, the company expects to repatriate over $90.0 million of cash to the U.S. from various overseas subsidiaries.The company expects to maintain its foreign cash balances (other than the aforementioned ~~$20.5~~$90.0 million) for local operating requirements, to provide funds for future capital expenditures and for potential acquisitions. The company does not expect to repatriate these funds to the U.S. in the foreseeable future. The company is also in the process of reviewing and revising its internal legal structure to optimize its ability to use cash.

The company historically has financed capital expenditures through cash flows from operations. Management expects that cash flows from operations and available lines of credit will be sufficient to support both the company’s operations and its debt obligations for the foreseeable future.

Revolving Credit Facilities

On ~~June 13, 2011~~May 31, 2013, the company entered into a ~~domestic unsecured financing agreement, which expires on June 13, 2016, consisting of a~~new credit agreement with ~~certain commercial banks that provides~~J.P. Morgan Securities LLC for up to $325.0 million which consisted of a ~~$150.0 million~~ revolving credit facility ~~with a potential to increase up to~~of $225.0 million ~~upon request~~and an unsecured term loan of $100.0 million. The new credit agreement is for a five year period. On January 30, 2014, the company ~~and agreement with~~increased the ~~lenders.~~unsecured revolving credit facility entered into on May 31, 2013, by $50.0 million thereby increasing the total revolver borrowing capacity from $225.0 million to $275.0 million. At ~~March 30, 2013,~~September 27, 2014, the company had available ~~$55.4~~$92.9 million of borrowing capacity under the revolving credit ~~facility~~agreement at an interest rate of LIBOR plus ~~1.250% (1.45%~~1.50% (1.65% as of ~~March 30, 2013)~~September 27, 2014). The credit agreement ~~replaced~~replaces the company’s previous credit agreement dated ~~July 21, 2006 and term loan agreement dated September 29, 2008, and, unless terminated earlier, will terminate on~~ June 13, ~~2016.~~ 2011 which was terminated on May 31, 2013.

This arrangement contains covenants that, among other matters, impose limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, future mergers, sales of assets, payment of dividends, and changes in control, as defined in the agreement. In addition, the company is required to satisfy certain financial covenants and tests relating to, among other matters, interest coverage and leverage. At ~~March 30, 2013,~~September 27, 2014, the company was in compliance with all covenants under the revolving credit facility.

The company also had $0.8 million outstanding in letters of credit at ~~March 30, 2013.~~September 27, 2014. No amounts were drawn under these letters of credit at ~~March 30, 2013.~~September 27, 2014.

Cash Flow

The company started ~~2013~~2014 with ~~$235.4~~$305.2 million of cash and cash equivalents. Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately ~~$16.0~~$103.8 million for the first ~~three~~nine months of ~~2013~~2014 reflecting ~~$11.5~~$79.9 million in net income and ~~$19.8~~$39.3 million in non-cash adjustments (primarily ~~$10.7 million in impairment charges and $7.8~~$31.2 million in depreciation and amortization) offset by ~~$15.2~~$15.4 million in net changes to various operating assets and liabilities.

Changes in operating assets and liabilities for the first ~~three~~nine months of ~~2013~~2014 (including short-term and long-term items) that impacted cash flows negatively consisted of increases in accounts receivables ($9.7 million), inventory ($4.1 million) and prepaid and other assets ($2.1 million), decreases in accrued expenses (including post-retirement) ($7.1 million) and accrued payroll and severance ($~~7.3 million), accrued expenses (including post-retirement) ($4.6 million) and accrued taxes ($0.6~~1.2 million). The increase in accounts receivables was due to increased sales in the first ~~quarter.~~nine months. The ~~decrease~~increase in ~~accrued payroll and severance was due primarily~~inventory resulted from higher stock levels to ~~payouts for the 2012 management incentive plan which occurred in the first quarter.~~meet increased demand. The decrease in accrued expenses was due primarily to ~~a $5.0~~$9.9 million in pension ~~contribution~~contributions made during the first quarter. Changes ~~that had~~having a positive impact on cash flows were ~~decreases in inventories ($3.6 million) and prepaid expenses and other ($1.0 million) and~~ increases in accounts payable ($~~2.4~~3.0 million) and accrued and deferred taxes ($5.8 million).

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately ~~$13.9~~$65.3 million and included ~~$5.4~~$19.4 million in capital spending and ~~$8.5~~$52.8 million for the acquisition of SymCom offset by $6.8 million in ~~expenditures for~~proceeds from sales of short-term investments.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately ~~$11.3~~$41.5 million and included ~~$10.0~~$56.8 million in net proceeds from borrowing and ~~$5.8~~$14.6 million from the exercise of stock options, including tax benefits, partially offset by debt issuance costs of $0.1 million, cash dividends paid of ~~$4.4~~$15.5 million and the repurchase of common stock for $14.3 million. The effects of exchange rate changes decreased cash and cash equivalents by ~~approximately $2.0~~$6.9 million. The net cash provided by operating activities combined with the effects of exchange rate changes less net cash used in investing and financing activities resulted in ~~an $11.5~~a $73.1 million increase in cash, which left the company with a cash and cash equivalents balance of ~~$246.9~~$378.3 million at ~~March 30, 2013.~~September 27, 2014.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was ~~3.0~~2.3 at the end of the ~~first~~third quarter of ~~2013~~2014 compared to ~~2.9 at year-end 2012 and~~ 2.5 at the end of the ~~first~~third quarter of ~~2012.~~2013 and 2.7 at year-end 2013. Days sales outstanding in accounts receivable was approximately 5756 days at the end of the ~~first~~third quarter of ~~2013~~2014 compared to 6158 days at the end of the ~~first~~third quarter of ~~2012~~2013 and 5859 days at year-end ~~2012.~~2013. Days inventory outstanding was approximately 6170 days at the end of the ~~first~~third quarter of 2014 as well as at the end of the third quarter of 2013 ~~compared to 69 days~~and at ~~the~~ year-end ~~2012 and 71 days at end of the first quarter of 2012.~~2013.

~~Outlook~~Outlook

~~The company’s sales and order rates have rebounded during~~Sales for the first quarter. The electronics business is showing signs of improvement while the electrical and automotive passenger vehicle markets continue to grow modestly. The commercial vehicle business appears to be recovering but still faces headwinds in key end markets. Protection relays and custom products have been negatively impacted by the slowdown in mining andfourth quarter are expected to ~~show further weakness~~follow normal seasonal patterns which will call for slightly softer Automotive sales and a moderate decline in ~~the second half of 2013 as several large projects near completion. Sales for the second quarter of 2013 are expected to increase between 4% and 9%~~Electronics sales compared to the ~~first~~third quarter of ~~2013.~~2014. The Electrical segment is expected to remain weak due primarily to continued softness in the mining market. The company issued the following guidance for the fourth quarter of 2014:

●

Sales for the fourth quarter are expected to be in the range of $201.0 million to $211.0 million which represents 4% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.

●

Earnings for the fourth quarter are expected to be in the range of $1.05 to $1.19 per diluted share, excluding any special items.

●

Capital expenditures are expected to increase to approximately $11.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 due to spending on a new building at the company’s Philippines site and several large equipment purchases.

The company also made the following comments regarding 2015:

●

After a relatively strong first half of 2014, electronics market growth has slowed. We see a continuation of modest growth in 2015.

●

Global car build rates have moderated after several years of above-trend growth. We see this slower growth environment continuing through 2015. However, our program wins for fuses and sensors give us confidence that we can continue to grow our automotive sales faster that the market.

●

The overall electrical business is expected to have moderate growth in 2015 driven primarily by the beginnings of a recovery for custom products and the ramp up of new products at SymCom.

The statements in this section and the other sections of this report that are not historical facts are intended to constitute “forward-looking statements” entitled to the safe-harbor provisions of the PSLRA. These statements may involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, risks relating to product demand and market acceptance, economic conditions, the impact of competitive products and pricing, product quality problems or product recalls, capacity and supply difficulties or constraints, coal mining exposures reserves, failure of an indemnification for environmental liability, exchange rate fluctuations, commodity price fluctuations, the effect of the company’s accounting policies, labor disputes, restructuring costs in excess of expectations, pension plan asset returns less than assumed, integration of acquisitions and other risks which may be detailed in the company’s other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those indicated or implied in the forward-looking statements. This report should be read in conjunction with information provided in the financial statements appearing in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December ~~29, 2012.~~28, 2013.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices.

~~Interest~~Interest Rates

The company had ~~$94.0~~$276.5 million in debt outstanding ~~under revolving credit facilities~~ at ~~March 30, 2013,~~September 27, 2014 at variable interest rates. While 100% of this debt has variable interest rates, the company’s interest expense is not materially sensitive to changes in interest rate levels since debt levels and potential interest expense increases are small relative to earnings.

Foreign Exchange Rates

The majority of the company’s operations consist of manufacturing and sales activities in foreign countries. The company has manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Denmark, China, Lithuania and the Philippines. During the first ~~three~~nine months of ~~2013,~~2014, sales to customers outside the U.S. were ~~66.1%~~62.2% of total net sales. Substantially all sales in Europe are denominated in euros and substantially all sales in the Asia-Pacific region are denominated in U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, Korean won, Chinese yuan or Taiwanese dollars.

The company’s foreign exchange exposures result primarily from sale of products in foreign currencies, foreign currency denominated purchases, employee-related and other costs of running operations in foreign countries and translation of balance sheet accounts denominated in foreign currencies. The company’s most significant long exposure is to the euro, with lesser long exposures to the Canadian dollar, Japanese yen and Korean won. The company’s most significant short exposures are to the Chinese yuan, Mexican peso and Philippine peso. Changes in foreign exchange rates could affect the company’s sales, costs, balance sheet values and earnings. The company uses netting and offsetting intercompany account management techniques to reduce known foreign currency exposures where possible. From time to time, the company has utilized derivative instruments to hedge certain foreign currency ~~exposures deemed to be material.~~exposures.

~~Commodity~~Commodity Prices

The company uses various metals in the manufacturing of its products, including copper, zinc, tin, gold and silver. Prices of these commodities can and do fluctuate significantly, which can impact the company’s earnings. The most significant of these exposures is to copper, zinc, ~~gold,~~silver, and ~~silver~~gold where at current prices and volumes, a 10% price change would affect annual pre-tax profit by approximately ~~$2.2~~$1.2 million for copper, ~~$0.7~~$0.9 million for zinc, ~~$0.4 million for gold, and~~ $0.8 million for ~~silver.~~silver and $0.3 million for gold. From time to time, the company has utilized derivative instruments to hedge certain commodity exposures deemed to be material.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

~~Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures~~

With the participation of our management, including the company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the company has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form ~~10-Q/A.~~10-Q. Based upon ~~(1)~~ that evaluation (2) the fact that the company’s previously issued financial statements included in the company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the first fiscal quarter of 2013 should no longer be relied upon because of errors in those financial statements and ~~(3)~~ the fact that the company ~~would restate those financial statements~~is in the process of remediating the material weakness, which is expected to ~~make~~be completed by the ~~necessary accounting adjustments,~~fourth quarter of 2014, the company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period ended ~~March 30, 2013.~~September 27, 2014.

The errors resulted from the 2013 year-end treatment of tax deductions related to the ~~company's~~company’s write-off of its investment in Shocking Technologies, Inc. The tax deductions were determined to be a capital loss for tax purposes, instead of an ordinary loss as the company had previously determined in consultation with a third party expert.

Material Weakness and Related Remediation Initiatives

On February 4, 2014, the company concluded there was a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act as it relates to deferred tax valuation allowance accounting at March 30, 2013. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statement will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weakness in internal control over financial reporting relates to the company’s evaluation of the income tax considerations, including deferred tax valuation allowances relating to the write-off of its investment in Shocking Technologies, Inc. during the first quarter of 2013. Management has commenced steps to remediate the material weakness associated with this misstatement and has begun the process of implementing an enhanced process to review and approve the income tax accounting treatment for any material items that are of an unusual or complex nature.In accordance with the company’s internal control over financial reporting compliance program, however, the material weakness designation cannot be remediated fully until the remediation processes have been operational for a period of time and successfully tested. Such remediation is ~~not~~ anticipated to be ~~complete until later~~completed in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except as has been described above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the ~~three months~~period ended ~~March 30, 2013,~~September 27, 2014, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Reference is made to Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 for the Certification statements issued by the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the company’s disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting, as of ~~March 30, 2013.~~September 27, 2014.
