The Original 8-K reported the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by Sunrich LLC (“Sunrich”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, of all outstanding shares of Dahlgren & Company, Inc. (“Dahlgren”) for cash consideration of $44 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, plus an earn-out based on predetermined targets over the two years following the Acquisition.

ITEM 9.01.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired

The Consolidated Balance Sheets of Dahlgren & Company, Inc. and Subsidiary as of September 25, 2010 and September 26, 2009, and the related Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income, Stockholders’ Equity and Cash Flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 25, 2010, with accompanying Consolidated Supplementary Information, are included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Amendment.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information

The following Unaudited Pro-forma Consolidated Financial Statements are included as Exhibit 99.2 to this Amendment: Unaudited Pro-forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three quarters ended October 2, 2010; Unaudited Pro-forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2009; and Unaudited Pro-forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as at October 2, 2010.

The Unaudited Pro-forma Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with:

(1)           the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Pro-forma Consolidated Financial Statements;

(2)           the accompanying Appendix 1 to Unaudited Pro-forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three quarters ended October 2, 2010;

The pro-forma adjustments in the Unaudited Pro-forma Consolidated Financial Statements are based upon available information, the estimates and assumptions set forth in the notes to the Unaudited Pro-forma Financial Statements and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual amounts could differ. The pro-forma adjustments are directly attributable to the transactions described therein and are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of the Company. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Unaudited Pro-forma Consolidated Financial Statements have been made. The unaudited pro-forma consolidated financial information is for informational purposes only, is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have been achieved had the applicable transactions been consummated on the dates indicated, and should not be construed as being representative of the Company’s future results of operations or financial position.
