4 – Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements
Item
4.01. Changes in Registrant's
Certifying Accountant.
On February 23, 2010, STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION (the "Company") dismissed
Grant Thornton LLP as its independent public accountants and appointed Deloitte
& Touche LLP as its new independent public accountants. The
decision to dismiss Grant Thornton and to retain Deloitte & Touche was
approved by the Company's Audit Committee on February 23, 2010.
Grant
Thornton's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for each
of the fiscal years ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008 did not contain an
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During
the Company's two most recent fiscal years and through February 23, 2010, there
were no disagreements with Grant Thornton on any matter of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure
which, if not resolved to Grant Thornton's satisfaction, would have caused them
to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on the
Company's consolidated financial statements for such years; and there were no
reportable events, as listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of SEC Regulation
S-K.
The Company has provided Grant Thornton with a copy of the foregoing disclosures
and has requested that Grant Thornton review such disclosures and provide a
letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission as specified by Item
304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. A copy of Grant Thornton's letter
to the Securities and Exchange Commission is attached to this report as Exhibit
16.1.
During the fiscal years ended June 28, 2009 and June 29, 2008, and the
subsequent interim period through February 23, 2010, the Company did not consult
with Deloitte & Touche regarding any of the matters or events set forth in
Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
