ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Executive Chairman and Executive Vice President/Chief Financial Officer, its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15I and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2021, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the appropriate management on a basis that permits timely decisions regarding disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Executive Chairman and Executive Vice President/Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021, were effective.
The Company acquired certain assets and liabilities constituting the Barnes business (“Barnes”) on October 2, 2020. Management excluded Barnes from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2021. Barnes’ financial statements constitute 15% of total assets and 11% of total sales of the condensed consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
On October 2, 2020, the Company acquired Barnes. Because Barnes utilizes separate information and accounting systems, the Company has implemented internal controls over financial reporting for acquisition-related accounting and disclosures. The Company’s management is reviewing and evaluating its internal control procedures and the design of those control procedures related to the Barnes’ acquisition and evaluating when it will complete an evaluation and review of Barnes’ internal controls over financial reporting.
