STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Basis of Financial Statements

STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION designs, develops, manufactures and markets automotive access control products including mechanical locks and keys, electronically enhanced locks and keys, steering column and instrument panel ignition lock housings, latches, power sliding door systems, power lift gate systems, power deck lid systems, door handles and related products for primarily North American automotive customers. We also supply global automotive manufacturers through a unique strategic relationship with WITTE Automotive (“WITTE”) of Velbert, Germany, and ADAC Automotive (“ADAC”) of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Under this relationship, STRATTEC, WITTE and ADAC market the products of each company to global customers under the “VAST” brand name. STRATTEC products are shipped to customer locations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, South America, Korea, China and India, and we provide full service and aftermarket support for our products. We also maintain a 51 percent interest in a joint venture, STRATTEC Advanced Logic LLC, which exists to introduce a new generation of biometric security products based on the designs of Actuator Systems, our partner and the owner of the remaining ownership interest.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidated results of STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION, its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, STRATTEC de Mexico, and its majority owned subsidiaries, ADAC-STRATTEC, LLC and STRATTEC POWER ACCESS LLC. STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. STRATTEC de Mexico is located in Juarez, Mexico. ADAC-STRATTEC, LLC and STRATTEC POWER ACCESS LLC have operations in El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico. Equity investments in Vehicle Access Systems Technology LLC (“VAST LLC”) and STRATTEC Advanced Logic, LLC (“SAL LLC”) for which we exercise significant influence but do not control and are not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for using the equity method. VAST LLC consists primarily of three wholly owned subsidiaries in China, one wholly owned subsidiary in Brazil and one joint venture entity in India. SAL LLC is located in El Paso, Texas. We have only one reporting segment.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 27, 2015, which has been derived from our audited financial statements, and the related unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the financial statements and notes thereto included in the STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION 2015 Annual Report, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to our Form 10-K on September 4, 2015.

New Accounting Standards

In August 2014, the FASB issued an update to the accounting guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued.  An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This accounting update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted.  We do not expect that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an update to the accounting guidance for the recognition of revenue arising from contracts with customers. The update supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance and outlines a single comprehensive model for revenue recognition based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in the exchange of goods and services. The guidance update also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The guidance update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and becomes effective for us at the beginning of our 2019 fiscal year.  We are currently assessing the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

6

In February 2015, the FASB issued an update to the accounting guidance that amends current consolidation guidance by modifying the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities or voting interest entities, eliminating the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with variable interest entities. The update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Derivative Instruments

We own and operate manufacturing operations in Mexico.  As a result, a portion of our manufacturing costs are incurred in Mexican pesos, which causes our earnings and cash flows to fluctuate due to changes in the U.S. dollar/Mexican peso exchange rate.  We have contracts with Bank of Montreal that provide for bi-weekly Mexican peso currency forward contracts for a portion of our estimated peso denominated operating costs. The current peso currency forward contracts, which were effective as of September 27, 2015, include settlement dates that begin on October 16, 2015 and end on June 21, 2016. The contracts provide for the purchase of Mexican pesos at an average U.S. dollar / Mexican peso exchange rate of 16.00. The total outstanding U.S. dollar notional amount of the forward contracts totaled $13.5 million at September 27, 2015. No forward contracts were in place during fiscal 2015 or outstanding as of June 28, 2015. Our objective in entering into these currency forward contracts is to minimize our earnings volatility resulting from changes in exchange rates affecting the U.S. dollar cost of our Mexican operations. The Mexican peso forward contracts are not used for speculative purposes and are not designated as hedges.  As a result, all currency forward contracts are recognized in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at fair value and changes in the fair value are reported in current earnings as part of Other (Expense) Income, net.

The fair market value of all outstanding Mexican peso forward contracts in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was as follows (thousands of dollars):

	September 27, 2015		June 28, 2015
Not Designated as Hedging Instruments:
Other Current Liabilities:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and borrowings under our credit facility approximated book value as of September 27, 2015 and June 28, 2015. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid for a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

The Rabbi Trust assets fund our amended and restated supplemental executive retirement plan and are included in Other Long-term Assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 assets during the three month period ended September 27, 2015.

Equity (Loss) Earnings of Joint Ventures

We hold a one-third interest in a joint venture company, VAST LLC, with WITTE and ADAC. VAST LLC exists to seek opportunities to manufacture and sell all three companies’ products in areas of the world outside of North America and Europe. Our investment in VAST LLC, for which we exercise significant influence but do not control and are not the primary beneficiary, is accounted for using the equity method.

The following are summarized statements of operations for VAST LLC (in thousands):

During 2013, we acquired a 51% ownership interest in a newly formed joint venture company, SAL LLC, which was formed to introduce a new generation of biometric security products based upon designs of Actuator Systems LLC, our partner.

SAL LLC has a $1.5 million revolving credit facility (the “SAL Credit Facility”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A., which is fully guaranteed by STRATTEC. The SAL Credit Facility has a maturity date of February 16, 2016.Outstanding borrowings under the SAL Credit Facility as of September 27, 2015 and June 28, 2015 totaled $1.05 million and $995,000, respectively. SAL LLC is considered a variable interest entity based on the STRATTEC guarantee. STRATTEC is not the primary beneficiary and does not control the entity. Accordingly, our investment in SAL LLC is accounted for using the equity method. STRATTEC had a recorded liability related to the guarantee of $1.05 million and $995,000 at September 27, 2015 and June 28, 2015, respectively, which amounts were equal to the estimated fair value of the guarantee as of these balance sheet dates. The guarantee liability is included in Other Current Liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. STRATTEC’s proportionate share of the guarantee based on our ownership percentage in SAL LLC totaled $536,000 and $507,000, respectively, as of September 27, 2015 and June 28, 2015, and accordingly, our investment in SAL LLC included these amounts at these balance sheet dates. Our joint venture partner did not guarantee their proportionate share of the SAL Credit Facility. As a result, we recorded a loss equal to our partner’s proportionate share of the fair value of the STRATTEC guarantee based upon their ownership interest in the joint venture of $488,000 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 and $27,000 during the three months ended September 27, 2015.

SAL LLC maintains a license agreement with Westinghouse allowing SAL LLC to do business as Westinghouse Security. Payments under the license agreement were guaranteed by STRATTEC. As of September 27, 2015 and June 28, 2015, STRATTEC has a recorded liability equal to the estimated fair value of the future payments due under this guarantee of $250,000. The liability is included in Other Long-term Liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. STRATTEC’s proportionate share of the guarantee of these payments based on our ownership percentage in SAL LLC totals $127,000, and accordingly, our investment in SAL LLC as of September 27, 2015 and June 28, 2015 included this amount. Our joint venture partner did not guarantee their proportionate share of the payments required under the license agreement. As a result, we recorded a loss of $123,000 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 which was equal to our partner’s proportionate share, based upon their ownership interest in the joint venture, of the fair value of the STRATTEC guarantee.

During fiscal 2015 and during the three months ended September 27, 2015, loans were made from STRATTEC to SAL LLC in support of operating expenses and working capital needs. The outstanding loan amount totaled $250,000 and $100,000 as of September 27, 2015 and June 28, 2015, respectively. A valuation reserve of $250,000 and $100,000 was recorded as of September 27, 2015 and June 28, 2015, respectively, in connection with these loans. The corresponding loss related to this valuation reserve was included in Equity (Loss) Earnings of Joint Ventures in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in each respective period.

Notwithstanding the existence of the SAL Credit Facility described herein, as a result of STRATTEC’s guarantee of such credit facility and as a result of borrowing limitations imposed by the bank under such credit facility, effective with our fiscal 2015 fourth quarter, 100 percent of the funding for SAL LLC was being made by STRATTEC through loans and guarantees. Therefore, effective with our fiscal 2015 fourth quarter, STRATTEC began recognizing 100 percent of the losses of SAL LLC through Equity (Loss) Earnings of Joint Ventures in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Credit Facilities and Guarantees

STRATTEC has a $30 million secured revolving credit facility (the “STRATTEC Credit Facility”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A. ADAC-STRATTEC LLC has a $10 million secured revolving credit facility (the “ADAC-STRATTEC Credit Facility”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A, which is guaranteed by STRATTEC. The credit facilities both expire August 1, 2018. Borrowings under either credit facility are secured by our cash balances, accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets located in the U.S. Interest on borrowings under both credit facilities is at varying rates based, at our option, on the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.0 percent or the bank’s prime rate. Both credit facilities contain a restrictive financial covenant that requires the applicable borrower to maintain a minimum net worth level. The ADAC-STRATTEC Credit Facility includes an additional restrictive financial covenant that requires the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. As of September 27, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Outstanding borrowings under the credit facilities were as follows (in thousands):

SAL LLC has a $1.5 million revolving credit facility (the “SAL Credit Facility’) with BMO Harris Bank N.A., which is fully guaranteed by STRATTEC. Interest on borrowings under the SAL Credit Facility is at varying rates based, at SAL LLC’s option, on LIBOR plus 1.0 percent or the bank’s prime rate. The SAL Credit Facility has a maturity date of February 16, 2016. Outstanding borrowings under the SAL Credit Facility as of September 27, 2015 totaled $1.05 million. As of September 27, 2015, STRATTEC had a recorded liability related to its guarantee of this credit facility of $1.05 million, which amount is equal to the estimated fair value of the guarantee as of September 27, 2015.

SAL LLC maintains a license agreement with Westinghouse allowing SAL LLC to do business as Westinghouse Security. STRATTEC guaranteed payments under the Westinghouse agreement. As of September 27, 2015, STRATTEC has a recorded liability related to this guarantee of $250,000, which amount is equal to the amount of future payments required under the agreement and the estimated fair value of the guarantee as of September 27, 2015.

Commitments and Contingencies

We are from time to time subject to various legal actions and claims incidental to our business, including those arising out of alleged defects, alleged breaches of contracts, product warranties, intellectual property matters and employment related matters. It is our opinion that the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. With respect to warranty matters, although we cannot ensure that future costs of warranty claims by customers will not be material, we believe our established reserves are adequate to cover potential warranty settlements.

In 1995, we recorded a provision of $3 million for estimated costs to remediate an environmental contamination site at our Milwaukee facility. The facility was contaminated by a solvent spill, which occurred in 1985, from a former above ground solvent storage tank located on the east side of the facility. The reserve was originally established based on third party estimates to adequately cover the cost for active remediation of the contamination. Due to changing technology and related costs associated with active remediation of the contamination, an updated analysis and estimate was obtained during fiscal 2010. As a result of this analysis, the reserve was reduced by approximately $1.1 million, to $1.5 million in 2010, to reflect the revised monitoring and remediation cost estimate. From 1995 through September 27, 2015, costs of approximately $493,000 have been incurred related to the installation of monitoring wells on the property and ongoing monitoring costs. We continue to monitor and evaluate the site with the use of these groundwater monitoring wells. An environmental consultant samples these wells one or two times a year to determine the status of the contamination and the potential for remediation of the contamination by natural attenuation, the dissipation of the contamination over time to concentrations below applicable standards. If such sampling evidences a sufficient degree of and trend toward natural attenuation of the contamination at the site, we may be able to obtain a closure letter from the regulatory authorities resolving the issue without the need for active remediation. If a sufficient degree and trend toward natural attenuation is not evidenced by sampling, a more active form of remediation beyond natural attenuation may be required. The sampling has not yet satisfied all of the requirements for closure by natural attenuation. As a result, sampling continues and the reserve remains at an amount to reflect the estimated cost of active remediation. The reserve is not measured on a discounted basis. We believe, based on findings-to-date and known environmental regulations, that the remaining environmental reserve of $1.4 million at September 27, 2015 is adequate.

Other (Expense) Income, net

Net other (expense) income included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income primarily included foreign currency transaction gains and losses, unrealized losses on peso forward contracts and Rabbi Trust gains and losses. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulted from activity associated with foreign denominated assets held by our Mexican subsidiaries. We entered into the Mexican Peso currency forward contracts to minimize earnings volatility resulting from changes in exchange rates affecting the U.S. dollar cost of our Mexican operations. The Rabbi Trust assets fund our amended and restated supplemental executive retirement plan. The investments held in this Trust are considered trading securities.

Income Taxes

The income tax provisions for the three month periods ended September 27, 2015 and September 28, 2014 were affected by the non-controlling interest portion of our pre-tax income and a lower statutory tax rate for income subject to tax in Mexico as compared to the statutory tax rate for income subject to tax in the U.S.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the applicable period using the treasury stock method. Potential dilutive common shares include outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock awards.

A reconciliation of the components of the basic and diluted per-share computations follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended
	September 27,2015		September 28, 2014
Net Income Attributable to STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION	$	3,273	$	9,300

Basic Earnings Per Share	$	0.92	$	2.63
Diluted Earnings Per Share	$	0.90	$	2.55

We consider unvested restricted stock that provides the holder with a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends to be a participating security.

As of September 27, 2015 and September 28, 2014, options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock-based Compensation

We maintain an omnibus stock incentive plan. This plan provides for the granting of stock options, shares of restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. As of September 27, 2015, the Board of Directors had designated 1,850,000 shares of common stock available for the grant of awards under the plan. Remaining shares available to be granted under the plan as of September 27, 2015 were 225,239. Awards that expire or are canceled without delivery of shares become available for re-issuance under the plan. We issue new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises.

12

Nonqualified and incentive stock options and shares of restricted stock have been granted to our officers, outside directors and specified employees under our stock incentive plan. Stock options granted under the plan may not be issued with an exercise price less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. Stock options become exercisable as determined at the date of grant by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The options expire 5 to 10 years after the grant date unless an earlier expiration date is set at the time of grant. The options generally vest 1 to 4 years after the date of grant. Shares of restricted stock granted under the plan are subject to vesting criteria determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the time the shares are granted and have a minimum vesting period of three years from the date of grant. Restricted shares granted have voting rights, regardless if the shares are vested or unvested. Restricted shares granted prior to August 2014 have dividend rights, regardless if the shares are vested or unvested. Commencing in August 2014 and thereafter, shares of restricted stock awarded to participants are not entitled to receive any cash dividends if they are unvested as of the record date. The restricted stock grants issued to date vest 3 to 5 years after the date of grant.

The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The resulting compensation cost for fixed awards with graded vesting schedules is amortized on a straight line basis over the vesting period for the entire award. The fair value of each restricted stock grant was based on the market price of the underlying common stock as of the date of grant. The resulting compensation cost is amortized on a straight line basis over the vesting period.

As of September 27, 2015, there was $368,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options granted under our omnibus stock incentive plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 0.8 years. As of September 27, 2015, there was approximately $2.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock grants outstanding under the plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.4 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for any future changes in estimated and actual forfeitures of awards granted under our omnibus stock incentive plan.

Pension and Postretirement Benefits

We have a qualified, noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (“Qualified Pension Plan”) covering substantially all U.S. associates. Benefits are based on years of service and final average compensation. Our policy is to fund at least the minimum actuarially computed annual contribution required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Plan assets consist primarily of listed equity and fixed income securities. Effective December 31, 2009, an amendment to the Qualified Pension Plan discontinued the benefit accruals for salary increases and credited service rendered after that date.  On April 2, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a resolution to terminate the Qualified Pension Plan.  The termination of the Qualified Pension Plan is subject to the Internal Revenue Service’s (“IRS”) determination that the Qualified Pension Plan is qualified on termination.  We believe it will take 18 to 24 months to finalize the complete termination of the Qualified Pension Plan after obtaining IRS approval.  We have not yet received IRS approval that the qualified plan is qualified on termination. Additionally, we have amended the Qualified Pension Plan to provide that participants are 100 percent vested in their accrued benefits as of the effective date of the plan termination, to adopt a new standard for disability benefits that will apply when the plan’s assets are distributed due to the termination, to add a lump sum distribution for employees and terminated vested participants who are not in payment status when Qualified Pension Plan assets are distributed due to the termination and to make certain other conforming amendments to the Qualified Pension Plan to comply with applicable laws that may be required by the IRS or may be deemed necessary or advisable to improve the administration of the Qualified Pension Plan or facilitate its termination and liquidation.  We also intend to make contributions to the Trust Fund for the Qualified Pension Plan to ensure that there are sufficient assets to provide all Qualified Pension Plan benefits as of the anticipated distribution date.  The financial impact of the plan termination will be recognized as a settlement of the Qualified Pension Plan liabilities.  The settlement date and related financial impact have not yet been determined.

We have historically had in place a noncontributory supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”), which prior to January 1, 2014 was a nonqualified defined benefit plan that essentially mirrored the Qualified Pension Plan, but provided benefits in excess of certain limits placed on our Qualified Pension Plan by the Internal Revenue Code.  We froze our Qualified Pension Plan effective as of December 31, 2009 and the SERP provided benefits to participants as if the Qualified Pension Plan had not been frozen.  Because the Qualified Pension Plan was frozen and because new employees were not eligible to participate in the Qualified Pension Plan, our Board of Directors adopted amendments to the SERP on October 8, 2013 that were effective as of December 31, 2013 to simplify the SERP calculation.  The SERP is funded through a Rabbi Trust with BMO Harris Bank N.A.  Under the amended SERP, participants received an accrued lump-sum benefit as of December 31, 2013 which was credited to each participant’s account.  Subsequent to December 31, 2013, each eligible participant receives a supplemental retirement benefit equal to the foregoing lump sum benefit, plus an annual benefit accrual equal to 8 percent of the participant’s base salary and cash bonus, plus annual credited interest on the participant’s account balance.  All then current participants as of December 31, 2013 are fully vested in their account balances with any new individuals participating in the SERP effective on or after January 1, 2014 being subject to a five year vesting period.  The SERP, which is considered a defined benefit plan under applicable rules and regulations, will continue to be funded through use of a Rabbi Trust to hold investment assets to be used in part to fund any future required lump sum benefit payments to participants.  The foregoing amendments to the SERP did not have a material effect on our financial statements.  The Rabbi Trust assets had a value of $2.2 million at September 27, 2015 and $2.3 million at June 28, 2015, respectively, and are included in Other Long-Term Assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

14

We also sponsor a postretirement health care plan for all U.S. associates hired prior to June 1, 2001. The expected cost of retiree health care benefits is recognized during the years the associates who are covered under the plan render service. Effective January 1, 2010, an amendment to the postretirement health care plan limited the benefit for future eligible retirees to $4,000 per plan year and is subject to a maximum five year coverage period based on the associate’s retirement date and age. The postretirement health care plan is unfunded.

Net periodic benefit costs under these plans are allocated between Cost of Goods Sold and Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

The following tables summarize the net periodic benefit cost recognized for each of the periods indicated under these plans (in thousands):

	Pension Benefits						Postretirement Benefits

Item 2

STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION’s accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto and its 2015 Annual Report which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to its Form 10-K on September 4, 2015. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to years refer to fiscal years.

Outlook

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, we experienced stronger sales demand for our components from our major North American automotive customers, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, General Motors Company and Ford Motor Company, as it relates to light trucks and both sport and car based utility vehicles in comparison to passenger cars likely influenced by lower gas prices. If gas prices continue to remain low over the next six to nine months, we anticipate this consumer buying trend to continue through the remainder of the 2016 fiscal year.

Analysis of Results of Operations

Three months ended September 27, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 28, 2014

	Three Months Ended
	September 27, 2015		September 28, 2014
Net Sales (in millions)	$	96.5	$	122.2

Net sales to each of our customers or customer groups in the current year quarter and prior year quarter were as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended
	September 27, 2015		September 28, 2014
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles	$	28.5	$	32.0
General Motors Company		18.8		44.9
Ford Motor Company		13.6		11.8
Tier 1 Customers		17.7		17.0
Commercial and Other OEM Customers		11.0		9.1
Hyundai / Kia		6.9		7.4
	$	96.5	$	122.2

The decreased sales to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in the current year quarter were due to lower customer vehicle production volume primarily on the Dodge and Chrysler Minivans for which we supply components. The decrease in sales to General Motors Company in the current year quarter was attributed to incremental service sales of $28 million shipped in the prior year quarter for parts used to support a recall campaign. Increased sales to Ford Motor Company in the current year quarter were attributed to increased product content on locksets and latches, in particular for the new F-150 pick-up truck.  Sales to Tier 1 Customers during the current year quarter increased slightly in comparison to the prior year quarter.  These customers represent purchasers of vehicle access control products, such as latches, fobs, and driver controls, that we have developed in recent years to complement our historic core business of locks and keys.  The decrease in sales to Hyundai / Kia in the current year quarter was due to higher levels of sales in the prior year quarter resulting from a significant ramp-up in production of parts for a new model introduction for which we supply components.

	Three Months Ended
	September 27, 2015		September 28, 2014
Cost of Goods Sold (in millions)	$	80.0	$	94.2

17

Direct material costs are the most significant component of our cost of goods sold and comprised $53.3 million or 66.6 percent of cost of goods sold in the current year quarter compared to $60.1 million or 63.8 percent of cost of goods sold in the prior year quarter. The reduction in material costs of $6.8 million or 11.3 percent between these quarterly periods was due to reduced sales volumes in the current year quarter over the prior year quarter as discussed above. The increasein material costs as a percent of cost of goods sold is the result of reduced sales of service parts as discussed above, which typically have lower material cost percentages as compared to parts sold for new vehicle production.  

The remaining components of cost of goods sold consist of labor and overhead costs which decreased $7.4 million or 21.7 percent in the current quarter as compared to the prior year quarter as the variable portion of these costs decreased due to the reduction in sales volumes between quarters. Also impacting the reduction in labor and overhead costs in the current quarter as compared to the prior year quarter was a decrease of $3.3 million in expense provisions for the accrual of bonuses under our incentive bonus plans, a reduction of approximately $2.4 million in the U.S. dollar value of our Mexican operations due to a favorable Mexican peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate, a lump sum bonus totaling $311,000 paid to our Milwaukee represented hourly workers during the prior year quarter resulting from a the ratification of a new 4-year labor contract and higher costs associated with new product launches during the prior year quarter, which impacts were partially offset by the benefits of a more favorable absorption of the fixed portion of our labor and overhead costs during our prior year quarter due to the higher sales volumes in the prior year quarter. The average U.S. dollar / Mexican peso exchange rate increased to approximately 16.37 pesos to the dollar in the current year quarter from approximately 13.15 pesos to the dollar in the prior year quarter.

	Three Months Ended
	September 27, 2015			September 28, 2014
Gross Profit (in millions)	$	16.5		$	28.1
Gross Profit as a percentage of net sales		17.1	%		23.0	%

The reduction in gross profit in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter was the result of the reduction in sales and a less favorable product mix, partially offset by the reduction in cost of goods sold as discussed above. The reduction in gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter was the result of reduced sales of service parts related to the General Motors customer recall campaign noted above, which typically have higher gross profit margins as compared to gross profit margins on parts sold for new vehicle production, and reduced customer production volumes resulting in less favorable absorption of our fixed manufacturing costs. These unfavorable impacts to the gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales were partially offset by a decrease in expense provisions for the accrual of bonuses under our incentive bonus plans, a reduction in the U.S. dollar value of the cost of our Mexican operations due to a favorable Mexican peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate, a lump sum bonus paid to our Milwaukee represented hourly workers during the prior year quarter resulting from the ratification of a new 4-year labor contract and higher costs associated with new product launches during the prior year quarter, all as discussed above.

Engineering, selling and administrative expenses in the current year quarter and prior year quarter were as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	September 27, 2015			September 28, 2014
Expenses (in millions)	$	10.6		$	13.2
Expenses as a percentage of net sales		11.0	%		10.8	%

Engineering, selling and administrative expenses decreased approximately $2.6 million between periods. The reduction in these costs in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter was due to reduced expense provisions for the accrual of bonuses under our incentive bonus plans.

Income from operations in the current year quarter was $5.9 million compared to $14.9 million in the prior year quarter. This reduction was the result of decreased sales and reduced gross profit margins in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter, partially offset by a reduction in engineering, selling and administrative expenses, all as discussed above.  

18

The equity (loss) income of joint ventures was comprised of the following in the current year quarter and prior year quarter (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	September 27, 2015			September 28, 2014
Vehicle Access Systems Technology LLC	$	133		$	376
STRATTEC Advanced Logic, LLC		(426	)		(186	)
	$	(293	)	$	190

VAST LLC’s operations in both China and Brazil were negatively impacted during the current year quarter by both a slow-down in automotive sales and impacts of foreign currency as it relates to purchases of components outside of their local markets. We anticipate VAST do Brasil will require a capital contribution of approximately $1 million collectively by all VAST partners to fund operations during the remainder of fiscal 2016.

STRATTEC is not the primary beneficiary and does not control STRATTEC Advanced Logic, LLC (“SAL LLC”). Accordingly, our investment in SAL LLC is accounted for using the equity method. Notwithstanding the existence of the SAL Credit Facility described herein, as a result of STRATTEC’s guaranty of such credit facility and as a result of borrowing limitations imposed by the bank under such credit facility, even though we maintain a 51 percent ownership interest in SAL LLC, effective with our fiscal 2015 fourth quarter, 100 percent of the funding for SAL LLC was being made through loans from STRATTEC to SAL LLC and the guaranty of the SAL Credit Facility. Therefore, effective with our fiscal 2015 fourth quarter, STRATTEC began recognizing 100 percent of the losses of SAL LLC. In addition, the following losses were included in our current quarter equity loss of joint ventures for SAL LLC (thousands of dollars):

Loss on Loan to SAL LLC	$	150
Loss on Guaranty of SAL LLC Credit Facility	$	27

During the current year quarter, a loan in the amount of $150,000 was made from STRATTEC to SAL LLC in support of operating expenses and working capital needs. A valuation reserve of $150,000 was recorded related to this loan. As of September 27, 2015, the outstanding loan amount from STRATTEC to SAL LLC totaled $250,000. The related valuation allowance related to this loan also totaled $250,000.

SAL LLC has a $1.5 million revolving credit facility with BMO Harris Bank N.A., which is fully guaranteed by STRATTEC. As of September 27, 2015, STRATTEC had a recorded liability equal to the estimated fair value of the guarantee of $1.05 million, which amount is equal to outstanding borrowings on the SAL LLC credit facility as of September 27, 2015. STRATTEC’s proportionate share of the guarantee, based on our ownership percentage in SAL LLC, totals $536,000, and accordingly we have increased our investment in SAL LLC as of September 27, 2015 by this amount. Our joint venture partner did not guarantee their proportionate share of the SAL LLC credit facility. As a result, STRATTEC recorded a loss equal to our partner’s proportionate share of the guarantee based on their ownership interest in the joint venture of $27,000 in the current quarter and $488,000 in our fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2015.

Included in other (expense) income, net in the current year quarter and prior year quarter were the following items (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	September 27, 2015			September 28, 2014
Foreign Currency Transaction Gain	$	957		$	786
Unrealized Loss on Peso Forward Contracts		(896	)		-
Rabbi Trust Loss		(164	)		(27	)
Other		71			29
	$	(32	)	$	788

Foreign currency transaction gains during the current year quarter resulted from activity associated with foreign denominated assets held by our Mexican subsidiaries. We entered into the Mexican Peso currency forward contracts to minimize earnings volatility resulting from changes in exchange rates affecting the U.S. dollar cost of our Mexican operations. Our Rabbi Trust assets fund our amended and restated supplemental executive retirement plan. The investments held in the Trust are considered trading securities.

Our effective tax rate was 31.4percent for the current year quarter. Our effective tax rate for our fiscal year ended June 28, 2015, before the impact of a net reduction in our liability for unrecognized tax benefits was 30.2 percent. The increase in our current year quarter effective tax rate from our fiscal 2015 effective tax rate was the result of the impact of the non-controlling interest portion of our pre-tax income during each period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Outstanding Receivable Balances from Major Customers

Our primary source of cash flow is from our major customers, which include Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, General Motors Company and Ford Motor Company. As of the date of filing this Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of our major customers are making payments on their outstanding accounts receivable in accordance with the payment terms included on their purchase orders. A summary of our outstanding receivable balances from our major customers as of September 27, 2015 was as follows (in millions):

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles	$	18.5
General Motors Company	$	8.7
Ford Motor Company	$	6.8

Cash Balances in Mexico

We earn a portion of our operating income in Mexico, which is deemed to be permanently reinvested. As of September 27, 2015, $10.2 million of our $20.0 million cash and cash equivalents balance was deemed to be permanently reinvested in Mexico. Cash balances in Mexico will be used for future capital expenditures and future plant expansion in Mexico. We currently do not intend nor foresee a need to repatriate these funds. We expect existing domestic cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operations to continue to be sufficient to fund our operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities, such as regular quarterly dividends and capital expenditures, for at least the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. Should we require more capital in the U.S. than is generated by our operations domestically, for example to fund significant discretionary activities, such as acquisitions of businesses and share repurchases, we could elect to repatriate future earnings from foreign jurisdictions or raise capital in the U.S. through borrowings under our revolving credit facility. These alternatives could result in higher effective tax rates, increased interest expense, or other dilution of our earnings.

Cash Flow Analysis

	Three Months Ended
	September 27, 2015			September 28, 2014
Cash Flows from (in millions):
Operating Activities	$	4.0		$	9.2
Investing Activities	$	(4.0	)	$	(7.2	)
Financing Activities	$	(5.1	)	$	0.6

Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.0 million during the current year period compared to $9.2 million during the prior year period. The change in operating cash flow between periods was due to a reduction in our operating profit in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter as discussed above under Analysis of Results of Operations. The overall change in working capital requirements, which includes the net amount of our accounts receivable, inventories, other assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities levels, in the current year quarter was consistent with the prior year quarter.

Significant cash payments impacting net cash provided by operating activities during both the current year quarter and prior year quarter included cash payments made under our incentive bonus plans and cash payments for Federal, state and foreign income taxes.  Cash payments under our incentive bonus plans totaled $5.2 million in the current year quarter compared to $7.3 million during the prior year quarter. Cash payments made for Federal, state and foreign income taxes totaled $954,000 during the current year quarter compared to $1.1 million during the prior year quarter.

20

Net cash used by investing activities of $4.0 million during the current year quarter and $7.2 million during the prior year quarter included capital expenditures of $3.9 million and $7.0 million, respectively. Capital expenditures during each period were made in support of requirements for new product programs and the upgrade and replacement of existing equipment. Prior year quarter capital expenditures of $2.1 million were also made for the purchase of an additional facility in Juarez, Mexico. Net cash used by investing activities during the current year quarter included a loan to our joint venture, STRATTEC Advanced Logic LLC, in support of operating expenses and working capital needs. Net cash used byinvesting activities during the prior year quarter also included a loan to our joint venture, VAST LLC. A loan of $215,000 was made by each partner, STRATTEC, WITTE and ADAC, in support of VAST LLC’s purchase of the non-controlling interest in VAST do Brasil and in support of funding operating costs of the Brazil entity.

Net cash used in financing activities during the current year quarter of $5.1 million included repayments of borrowings under credit facilities of $4.5 million, $466,000 of regular quarterly dividend payments to shareholders and $1.6 million of dividend payments to non-controlling interests in our subsidiaries, partially offset by $1.0 million of additional borrowings under credit facilities and $483,000 of proceeds received from stock option exercises and related excess tax benefits. Net cash provided by financing activities of $631,000 during the prior year quarter included $1.5 million of additional borrowings under credit facilities and $440,000 of proceeds received from stock option exercises and related excess tax benefits, partially offset by $427,000 of regular quarterly dividend payments to shareholders and $882,000 of dividend payments to non-controlling interests in our subsidiaries.

VAST LLC Cash Requirements

No cash capital contributions were made to VAST LLC during the current year quarter or the prior year quarter. We currently anticipate that both VAST China and Minda-VAST Access Systems have adequate debt facilities in place over the next fiscal year to cover each businesses’ future operating and capital requirements. VAST do Brasil, due to economic conditions in Brazil, will likely require additional capital contributions of $1 million in the aggregate by all VAST partners to fund operations during the remainder of fiscal year 2016.  STRATTEC’s portion of the capital contributions is anticipated to be $333,000.

STRATTEC Advanced Logic, LLC Cash Requirements

Beginning with the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, STRATTEC provided 100 percent of the financial support to fund the start-up operating losses of STRATTEC Advanced Logic, LLC due to our partner’s inability to contribute capital to this joint venture. We anticipate STRATTEC will continue to fund 100 percent of the start-up costs through fiscal year 2016.

Future Capital Expenditures

We anticipate capital expenditures will be approximately $15 million in fiscal 2016 in support of requirements for new product programs and the upgrade and replacement of existing equipment. To date, through the end of our 2016 fiscal first quarter capital expenditures totaled $3.9 million.

Stock Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program to buy back outstanding shares of our common stock. Shares authorized for buy back under the program totaled 3,839,395 at September 27, 2015. A total of 3,655,322 shares have been repurchased over the life of the program through September 27, 2015, at a cost of approximately $136.4 million. No shares were repurchased during the three month periods ended September 27, 2015 or September 28, 2014. Additional repurchases may occur from time to time and are expected to continue to be funded by cash flow from operations and current cash balances. Based on the current economic environment and our preference to conserve cash for other uses, we anticipate modest or no stock repurchase activity for the remainder of fiscal year 2016.

Credit Facilities

STRATTEC has a $30 million secured revolving credit facility (the “STRATTEC Credit Facility”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A. ADAC-STRATTEC LLC has a $10 million secured revolving credit facility (the “ADAC-STRATTEC Credit Facility”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A, which is guaranteed by STRATTEC. The credit facilities both expire August 1, 2018. Borrowings under either credit facility are secured by our cash balances, accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets located in the U.S. Interest on borrowings under both credit facilities is at varying rates based, at our option, on LIBOR plus 1.0 percent or the bank’s prime rate. Both credit facilities contain a restrictive financial covenant that requires the applicable borrower to maintain a minimum net worth level. The ADAC-STRATTEC Credit Facility includes an additional restrictive financial covenant that requires the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. Outstanding borrowings under the STRATTEC Credit Facility totaled $3.0 million at September 27, 2015 and $7 million at June 28, 2015. The average outstanding borrowings and weighted average interest rate on the STRATTEC Credit Facility loans were approximately $3.7 million and 1.2 percent, respectively, during the three months ended

21

September 27, 2015. There were no borrowings under the STRATTEC Credit facility during the three months ended September 28, 2014. Outstanding borrowings under the ADAC-STRATTEC Credit Facility totaled $3.5 million at September 27, 2015 and $3.0 million at June 28, 2015. The average outstanding borrowings and weighted average interest rate on the ADAC-STRATTEC Credit Facility loans were approximately $3.1million and 1.2percent, respectively, during the three months ended September 27, 2015. The average outstanding borrowings and weighted average interest rate on the ADAC-STRATTEC Credit Facility loans were approximately $3.5 million and 1.2 percent, respectively, during the three months ended September 28, 2014.

STRATTEC Advanced Logic LLC (“SAL LLC”) has a $1.5 million revolving credit facility (the “SAL Credit Facility’) with BMO Harris Bank N.A., which is fully guaranteed by STRATTEC. Interest on borrowings under the SAL Credit Facility is at varying rates based, at SAL LLC’s option, on LIBOR plus 1.0 percent or the bank’s prime rate. The SAL Credit Facility currently has a maturity date of February 16, 2016. Outstanding borrowings under the SAL Credit Facility as of September 27, 2015 totaled $1.05 million. As of September 27, 2015, STRATTEC had a recorded liability related to the guarantee of $1.05 million, which amount is equal to the estimated fair value of its guarantee of this credit facility as of September 27, 2015.

SAL LLC maintains a license agreement with Westinghouse allowing SAL LLC to do business as Westinghouse Security. STRATTEC guaranteed payments under the Westinghouse agreement. As of September 27, 2015, STRATTEC has a recorded liability related to this guarantee of $250,000, which amount is equal to the amount of future payments required under the agreement and the estimated fair value of the guarantee as of September 27, 2015

Inflation and Other Changes in Prices

Inflation Related Items:  Over the past several years, we have been impacted by rising health care costs, which have increased our cost of associate medical coverage. A portion of these increases have been offset by plan design changes and associate wellness initiatives. We have also been impacted by increases in the market price of zinc and brass and inflation in Mexico, which impacts the U. S. dollar costs of our Mexican operations. We have negotiated raw material price adjustment clauses with certain, but not all, of our customers to offset some of the market price fluctuations in the cost of zinc. We have contracts with Bank of Montreal that provide for bi-weekly Mexican peso currency forward contracts for a portion of our estimated peso denominated operating costs. Refer to discussion under Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk included herein.

Joint Ventures and Majority Owned Subsidiaries

We participate in certain Alliance Agreements with WITTE Automotive (“WITTE”) and ADAC Automotive (“ADAC”). WITTE, of Velbert, Germany, is a privately held automotive supplier. WITTE designs, manufactures and markets automotive components, including locks and keys, hood latches, rear compartment latches, seat back latches, door handles and specialty fasteners. WITTE’s primary market for these products has been Europe. ADAC, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, is a privately held automotive supplier and manufactures engineered products, including door handles and other automotive trim parts, utilizing plastic injection molding, automated painting and various assembly processes.  

The Alliance Agreements include a set of cross-licensing agreements for the manufacture, distribution and sale of WITTE products by STRATTEC and ADAC in North America, and the manufacture, distribution and sale of STRATTEC and ADAC products by WITTE in Europe. Additionally, a joint venture company, Vehicle Access Systems Technology LLC (“VAST LLC”), in which WITTE, STRATTEC and ADAC each hold a one-third interest, exists to seek opportunities to manufacture and sell each company’s products in areas of the world outside of North America and Europe.  

VAST do Brasil services customers in South America. Effective March 21, 2014, VAST LLC purchased the remaining non-controlling interest in VAST do Brasil. VAST Fuzhou, VAST Great Shanghai and VAST Shanghai Co. (collectively known as VAST China), provide a base of operations to service our automotive customers in the Asian market. VAST LLC also maintains branch offices in South Korea and Japan in support of customer sales and engineering requirements.

Effective April 30, 2015, VAST LLC executed an agreement to become a 50:50 joint venture partner with Minda Management Services Limited an affiliate of both Minda Corporation Limited and Spark Minda, Ashok Minda Group of New Delhi, India (collectively “Minda”).  VAST acquired a fifty percent equity interest in the former Minda-Valeo Security Systems joint venture entity, based in Pune, India, for approximately $12 million.  This joint venture entity was renamed Minda-VAST Access Systems (“Minda-VAST”). The portion of the purchase price paid by each VAST LLC partner, STRATTEC, WITTE and ADAC, totaled $4 million during fiscal 2015. Minda-VAST has operations in Pune and Delhi and is expected to have annual sales in excess of approximately $40 million during our fiscal year 2016. Minda and its affiliates cater to the needs of all major car, motorcycle, commercial vehicle, tractor and off-road vehicle manufacturers in India.  They are a leading manufacturer in the Indian marketplace of security & access products, handles, automotive safety, restraint systems, driver information and telematics systems for both OEMs and the aftermarket.

22

The VAST LLC investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The activities related to the VAST LLC joint ventures resulted in equity earnings of joint ventures to STRATTEC of approximately $133,000 during the three months ended September 27, 2015 and approximately $376,000 during the three months ended September 28, 2014. During the three months ended September 27, 2015 and September 28, 2014, no cash capital contributions were made to VAST LLC. During the quarter ended September 28, 2014, STRATTEC made a loan of $215,000 to VAST LLC, to support VAST LLC’s purchase of the non-controlling interest in VAST do Brasil and to fund the operating costs of the Brazilian entity.

ADAC-STRATTEC LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed in fiscal year 2007 to support injection molding and door handle assembly operations in Mexico. ADAC-STRATTEC LLC was 51 percent owned by STRATTEC and 49 percent owned by ADAC for all periods presented in this report. An additional Mexican entity, ADAC-STRATTEC de Mexico, is wholly owned by ADAC-STRATTEC LLC. ADAC-STRATTEC LLC’s financial results are consolidated with the financial results of STRATTEC and resulted in increased net income to STRATTEC of approximately $647,000 during the three months ended September 27, 2015 and approximately $662,000 during the three months ended September 28, 2014.

STRATTEC POWER ACCESS LLC (“SPA”), was formed in fiscal year 2009 to supply the North American portion of the power sliding door, lift gate and deck lid system access control products which were acquired from Delphi Corporation. SPA was 80 percent owned by STRATTEC and 20 percent owned by WITTE for all periods presented in this report. The financial results of SPA are consolidated with the financial results of STRATTEC and resulted in decreased net income to STRATTEC of approximately $1.1 million during the three months ended September 27, 2015 and increased net income of approximately $76,000 during the three months ended September 28, 2014.  

STRATTEC Advanced Logic, LLC (“SAL LLC”), was formed in fiscal 2013 to introduce a new generation of biometric security products based upon the designs of Actuator Systems LLC, our partner and the owner of the remaining ownership interest. SPA was 51 percent owned by STRATTEC for all periods presented in this report. The initial capitalization of SAL LLC totaled $1.5 million. STRATTEC’s portion of the initial capitalization totaled $765,000. Our investment in SAL LLC, for which we exercise significant influence but do not control and are not the primary beneficiary, is accounted for using the equity method. The activities related to SAL LLC resulted in an equity loss of joint ventures to STRATTEC of approximately $426,000 during the three months ended September 27, 2015 and approximately $186,000 during the three months ended September 28, 2014. Notwithstanding the existence of the SAL Credit Facility described herein, as a result of STRATTEC's guaranty of such credit facility and as a result of borrowing limitations imposed by the bank under such credit facility, even though we maintain a 51 percent ownership interest in SAL LLC, effective with our fiscal 2015 fourth quarter, 100 percent of the funding for SAL LLC was being made by STRATTEC through loans. Therefore, STRATTEC began recognizing 100 percent of the losses of SAL LLC through Equity (Loss) Earnings of Joint Ventures in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income as of our fiscal 2015 fourth quarter. In addition, the following losses were included in our Equity (Loss) Earnings of Joint Ventures for SL LLC for the three months ended September 27, 2015 (thousands of dollars):

Loss on Loan to SAL LLC	$	150
Loss on Guarantee of SAL LLC Credit Facility	$	27

See further discussion under Equity (Loss) Earnings of Joint Ventures included in Notes to Financial Statements herein.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposure to market risk is limited to fluctuations in raw material commodity prices, interest rate fluctuations on borrowings under our secured revolving credit facilities and foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with STRATTEC’s foreign operations. We do not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes.

Interest Rates: We are subject to interest rate fluctuations on borrowings under our revolving credit facilities. At September 27, 2015, we had $6.5 million of outstanding borrowings under our credit facilities. The interest expense related to borrowings under the credit facilities during the three months ended September 27 was $21,000. A 10% increase or decrease in the interest rate on our borrowings would not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Foreign Currency: We are subject to foreign currency exchange rate exposure related to the U.S. dollar costs of our manufacturing operations in Mexico. A portion of our manufacturing costs are incurred in Mexican pesos, which causes our earnings and cash flows to fluctuate due to changes in the U.S. dollar/Mexican peso exchange rate.  We have contracts with Bank of Montreal that provide for bi-weekly Mexican peso currency forward contracts for a portion of our estimated peso denominated operating costs. The current peso current forward contracts, which were effective as of September 27, 2015, include settlement dates that begin on October 16, 2015 and end on June 21, 2016. The contracts provide for the purchase of Mexican pesos at an average U.S. dollar / Mexican peso exchange rate of 16.00. The total outstanding U.S. dollar notional amount of the forward contracts totaled $13.5 million at September 27, 2015. No forward contracts were in place during fiscal 2015 or outstanding as of June 28, 2015. Our objective in entering into these currency forward contracts is to minimize our earnings volatility resulting from changes in exchange rates affecting the U.S. dollar cost of our Mexican operations. The Mexican peso forward contracts are not used for speculative purposes and are not designated as hedges.  As a result, all currency forward contracts are recognized in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at fair value and changes in the fair value are reported in current earnings as part of Other (Expense) Income, net.  

The fair market value of all outstanding Mexican peso forward contracts in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was as follows (thousands of dollars):

	September 27, 2015		June 28, 2015
Not Designated as Hedging Instruments:
Other Current Liabilities:
Mexican Peso Forward Contracts	$	896	$	-

The pre-tax effects of the Mexican peso forward contracts are included in Other (Expense) Income, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and consisted of the following (thousands of dollars):

	Three Months Ended
	September 27, 2015		September 28, 2015
Not Designated as Hedging Instruments:
Unrealized Loss	$	896	$	-

Raw Materials Commodity Prices: Our primary raw materials are high-grade zinc, brass, nickel silver, aluminum, steel and plastic resins. These materials are generally available from a number of suppliers, but we have chosen to concentrate our sourcing with one primary vendor for each commodity or purchased component. We believe our sources of raw materials are reliable and adequate for our needs. However, the development of future sourcing issues related to using existing or alternative raw materials and the global availability of these materials as well as significant fluctuations in the market prices of these materials may have an adverse effect on our financial results if the increased raw material costs cannot be recovered from our customers. Given the significant financial impact on us relating to changes in the cost of our primary raw materials, we now attempt to quote quarterly material price adjustments for changes in our zinc costs in our negotiations with our customers. Our success in obtaining these quarterly price adjustments in our customer contracts is dependent on separate negotiations with each customer. It is not a standard practice for our customers to include such price adjustments in their contracts. We have been successful in obtaining quarterly price adjustments in some of our customer contracts. However, we have not been successful in obtaining the adjustments with all of our customers.

24

Item 4 Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at reaching a level of reasonable assurance. It should be noted that in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. We have designed our disclosure controls and procedures to reach a level of reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A—Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 4, 2015.

The Board of Directors has periodically increased the number of shares authorized for repurchase under the program, most recently in August 2008. The program currently authorizes the repurchase of up to 3,839,395 shares of our common stock from time to time, directly or through brokers or agents, and has no expiration date. Over the life of the repurchase program through September 27, 2015, a total of 3,655,322 shares have been repurchased at a cost of approximately $136.4 million. No shares were repurchased during the three month period ended September 27, 2015.

Termination of Qualified Pension Plan, description	On April 2, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a resolution to terminate the Qualified Pension Plan. The termination of the Qualified Pension Plan is subject to the Internal Revenue Service’s (“IRS”) determination that the Qualified Pension Plan is qualified on termination. We believe it will take 18 to 24 months to finalize the complete termination of the Qualified Pension Plan after obtaining IRS approval. We have not yet received IRS approval that the qualified plan is qualified on termination. Additionally, we have amended the Qualified Pension Plan to provide that participants are 100 percent vested in their accrued benefits as of the effective date of the plan termination, to adopt a new standard for disability benefits that will apply when the plan’s assets are distributed due to the termination, to add a lump sum distribution for employees and terminated vested participants who are not in payment status when Qualified Pension Plan assets are distributed due to the termination and to make certain other conforming amendments to the Qualified Pension Plan to comply with applicable laws that may be required by the IRS or may be deemed necessary or advisable to improve the administration of the Qualified Pension Plan or facilitate its termination and liquidation.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

We own and operate manufacturing operations in Mexico.  As a result, a portion of our manufacturing costs are incurred in Mexican pesos, which causes our earnings and cash flows to fluctuate due to changes in the U.S. dollar/Mexican peso exchange rate.  We have contracts with Bank of Montreal that provide for bi-weekly Mexican peso currency forward contracts for a portion of our estimated peso denominated operating costs. The current peso currency forward contracts, which were effective as of September 27, 2015, include settlement dates that begin on October 16, 2015 and end on June 21, 2016. The contracts provide for the purchase of Mexican pesos at an average U.S. dollar / Mexican peso exchange rate of 16.00. The total outstanding U.S. dollar notional amount of the forward contracts totaled $13.5 million at September 27, 2015. No forward contracts were in place during fiscal 2015 or outstanding as of June 28, 2015. Our objective in entering into these currency forward contracts is to minimize our earnings volatility resulting from changes in exchange rates affecting the U.S. dollar cost of our Mexican operations. The Mexican peso forward contracts are not used for speculative purposes and are not designated as hedges.  As a result, all currency forward contracts are recognized in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at fair value and changes in the fair value are reported in current earnings as part of Other (Expense) Income, net.

The fair market value of all outstanding Mexican peso forward contracts in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was as follows (thousands of dollars):

	September 27, 2015		June 28, 2015
Not Designated as Hedging Instruments:
Other Current Liabilities:

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]

New Accounting Standards

New Accounting Standards

In August 2014, the FASB issued an update to the accounting guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued.  An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This accounting update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted.  We do not expect that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an update to the accounting guidance for the recognition of revenue arising from contracts with customers. The update supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance and outlines a single comprehensive model for revenue recognition based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in the exchange of goods and services. The guidance update also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The guidance update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and becomes effective for us at the beginning of our 2019 fiscal year. We are currently assessing the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued an update to the accounting guidance that amends current consolidation guidance by modifying the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities or voting interest entities, eliminating the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with variable interest entities. The update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract]

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation

We maintain an omnibus stock incentive plan. This plan provides for the granting of stock options, shares of restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. As of September 27, 2015, the Board of Directors had designated 1,850,000 shares of common stock available for the grant of awards under the plan. Remaining shares available to be granted under the plan as of September 27, 2015 were 225,239. Awards that expire or are canceled without delivery of shares become available for re-issuance under the plan. We issue new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises.

Nonqualified and incentive stock options and shares of restricted stock have been granted to our officers, outside directors and specified employees under our stock incentive plan. Stock options granted under the plan may not be issued with an exercise price less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. Stock options become exercisable as determined at the date of grant by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The options expire 5 to 10 years after the grant date unless an earlier expiration date is set at the time of grant. The options generally vest 1 to 4 years after the date of grant. Shares of restricted stock granted under the plan are subject to vesting criteria determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the time the shares are granted and have a minimum vesting period of three years from the date of grant. Restricted shares granted have voting rights, regardless if the shares are vested or unvested. Restricted shares granted prior to August 2014 have dividend rights, regardless if the shares are vested or unvested. Commencing in August 2014 and thereafter, shares of restricted stock awarded to participants are not entitled to receive any cash dividends if they are unvested as of the record date. The restricted stock grants issued to date vest 3 to 5 years after the date of grant.

The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The resulting compensation cost for fixed awards with graded vesting schedules is amortized on a straight line basis over the vesting period for the entire award. The fair value of each restricted stock grant was based on the market price of the underlying common stock as of the date of grant. The resulting compensation cost is amortized on a straight line basis over the vesting period.

A summary of stock option activity under our stock incentive plan for the three months ended September 27, 2015 was as follows:

As of September 27, 2015, there was $368,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options granted under our omnibus stock incentive plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 0.8 years. As of September 27, 2015, there was approximately $2.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock grants outstanding under the plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.4 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for any future changes in estimated and actual forfeitures of awards granted under our omnibus stock incentive plan.

Pension and Postretirement Benefits

Compensation And Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]

Pension and Postretirement Benefits

Pension and Postretirement Benefits

We have a qualified, noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (“Qualified Pension Plan”) covering substantially all U.S. associates. Benefits are based on years of service and final average compensation. Our policy is to fund at least the minimum actuarially computed annual contribution required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Plan assets consist primarily of listed equity and fixed income securities. Effective December 31, 2009, an amendment to the Qualified Pension Plan discontinued the benefit accruals for salary increases and credited service rendered after that date.  On April 2, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a resolution to terminate the Qualified Pension Plan.  The termination of the Qualified Pension Plan is subject to the Internal Revenue Service’s (“IRS”) determination that the Qualified Pension Plan is qualified on termination.  We believe it will take 18 to 24 months to finalize the complete termination of the Qualified Pension Plan after obtaining IRS approval.  We have not yet received IRS approval that the qualified plan is qualified on termination. Additionally, we have amended the Qualified Pension Plan to provide that participants are 100 percent vested in their accrued benefits as of the effective date of the plan termination, to adopt a new standard for disability benefits that will apply when the plan’s assets are distributed due to the termination, to add a lump sum distribution for employees and terminated vested participants who are not in payment status when Qualified Pension Plan assets are distributed due to the termination and to make certain other conforming amendments to the Qualified Pension Plan to comply with applicable laws that may be required by the IRS or may be deemed necessary or advisable to improve the administration of the Qualified Pension Plan or facilitate its termination and liquidation.  We also intend to make contributions to the Trust Fund for the Qualified Pension Plan to ensure that there are sufficient assets to provide all Qualified Pension Plan benefits as of the anticipated distribution date.  The financial impact of the plan termination will be recognized as a settlement of the Qualified Pension Plan liabilities.  The settlement date and related financial impact have not yet been determined.

We have historically had in place a noncontributory supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”), which prior to January 1, 2014 was a nonqualified defined benefit plan that essentially mirrored the Qualified Pension Plan, but provided benefits in excess of certain limits placed on our Qualified Pension Plan by the Internal Revenue Code.  We froze our Qualified Pension Plan effective as of December 31, 2009 and the SERP provided benefits to participants as if the Qualified Pension Plan had not been frozen.  Because the Qualified Pension Plan was frozen and because new employees were not eligible to participate in the Qualified Pension Plan, our Board of Directors adopted amendments to the SERP on October 8, 2013 that were effective as of December 31, 2013 to simplify the SERP calculation.  The SERP is funded through a Rabbi Trust with BMO Harris Bank N.A.  Under the amended SERP, participants received an accrued lump-sum benefit as of December 31, 2013 which was credited to each participant’s account.  Subsequent to December 31, 2013, each eligible participant receives a supplemental retirement benefit equal to the foregoing lump sum benefit, plus an annual benefit accrual equal to 8 percent of the participant’s base salary and cash bonus, plus annual credited interest on the participant’s account balance.  All then current participants as of December 31, 2013 are fully vested in their account balances with any new individuals participating in the SERP effective on or after January 1, 2014 being subject to a five year vesting period.  The SERP, which is considered a defined benefit plan under applicable rules and regulations, will continue to be funded through use of a Rabbi Trust to hold investment assets to be used in part to fund any future required lump sum benefit payments to participants.  The foregoing amendments to the SERP did not have a material effect on our financial statements.  The Rabbi Trust assets had a value of $2.2 million at September 27, 2015 and $2.3 million at June 28, 2015, respectively, and are included in Other Long-Term Assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We also sponsor a postretirement health care plan for all U.S. associates hired prior to June 1, 2001. The expected cost of retiree health care benefits is recognized during the years the associates who are covered under the plan render service. Effective January 1, 2010, an amendment to the postretirement health care plan limited the benefit for future eligible retirees to $4,000 per plan year and is subject to a maximum five year coverage period based on the associate’s retirement date and age. The postretirement health care plan is unfunded.

Net periodic benefit costs under these plans are allocated between Cost of Goods Sold and Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

The following tables summarize the net periodic benefit cost recognized for each of the periods indicated under these plans (in thousands):

	Pension Benefits						Postretirement Benefits

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

We are from time to time subject to various legal actions and claims incidental to our business, including those arising out of alleged defects, alleged breaches of contracts, product warranties, intellectual property matters and employment related matters. It is our opinion that the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. With respect to warranty matters, although we cannot ensure that future costs of warranty claims by customers will not be material, we believe our established reserves are adequate to cover potential warranty settlements.

In 1995, we recorded a provision of $3 million for estimated costs to remediate an environmental contamination site at our Milwaukee facility. The facility was contaminated by a solvent spill, which occurred in 1985, from a former above ground solvent storage tank located on the east side of the facility. The reserve was originally established based on third party estimates to adequately cover the cost for active remediation of the contamination. Due to changing technology and related costs associated with active remediation of the contamination, an updated analysis and estimate was obtained during fiscal 2010. As a result of this analysis, the reserve was reduced by approximately $1.1 million, to $1.5 million in 2010, to reflect the revised monitoring and remediation cost estimate. From 1995 through September 27, 2015, costs of approximately $493,000 have been incurred related to the installation of monitoring wells on the property and ongoing monitoring costs. We continue to monitor and evaluate the site with the use of these groundwater monitoring wells. An environmental consultant samples these wells one or two times a year to determine the status of the contamination and the potential for remediation of the contamination by natural attenuation, the dissipation of the contamination over time to concentrations below applicable standards. If such sampling evidences a sufficient degree of and trend toward natural attenuation of the contamination at the site, we may be able to obtain a closure letter from the regulatory authorities resolving the issue without the need for active remediation. If a sufficient degree and trend toward natural attenuation is not evidenced by sampling, a more active form of remediation beyond natural attenuation may be required. The sampling has not yet satisfied all of the requirements for closure by natural attenuation. As a result, sampling continues and the reserve remains at an amount to reflect the estimated cost of active remediation. The reserve is not measured on a discounted basis. We believe, based on findings-to-date and known environmental regulations, that the remaining environmental reserve of $1.4 million at September 27, 2015 is adequate.

Other (Expense) Income, net

Net other (expense) income included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income primarily included foreign currency transaction gains and losses, unrealized losses on peso forward contracts and Rabbi Trust gains and losses. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulted from activity associated with foreign denominated assets held by our Mexican subsidiaries. We entered into the Mexican Peso currency forward contracts to minimize earnings volatility resulting from changes in exchange rates affecting the U.S. dollar cost of our Mexican operations. The Rabbi Trust assets fund our amended and restated supplemental executive retirement plan. The investments held in this Trust are considered trading securities.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share (''EPS'')

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the applicable period using the treasury stock method. Potential dilutive common shares include outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock awards.

A reconciliation of the components of the basic and diluted per-share computations follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Basic Earnings Per Share	$	0.92	$	2.63
Diluted Earnings Per Share	$	0.90	$	2.55

We consider unvested restricted stock that provides the holder with a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends to be a participating security.

As of September 27, 2015 and September 28, 2014, options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

We hold a one-third interest in a joint venture company, VAST LLC, with WITTE and ADAC. VAST LLC exists to seek opportunities to manufacture and sell all three companies’ products in areas of the world outside of North America and Europe. Our investment in VAST LLC, for which we exercise significant influence but do not control and are not the primary beneficiary, is accounted for using the equity method.

During 2013, we acquired a 51% ownership interest in a newly formed joint venture company, SAL LLC, which was formed to introduce a new generation of biometric security products based upon designs of Actuator Systems LLC, our partner.

SAL LLC has a $1.5 million revolving credit facility (the “SAL Credit Facility”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A., which is fully guaranteed by STRATTEC. The SAL Credit Facility has a maturity date of February 16, 2016. Outstanding borrowings under the SAL Credit Facility as of September 27, 2015 and June 28, 2015 totaled $1.05 million and $995,000, respectively. SAL LLC is considered a variable interest entity based on the STRATTEC guarantee. STRATTEC is not the primary beneficiary and does not control the entity. Accordingly, our investment in SAL LLC is accounted for using the equity method. STRATTEC had a recorded liability related to the guarantee of $1.05 million and $995,000 at September 27, 2015 and June 28, 2015, respectively, which amounts were equal to the estimated fair value of the guarantee as of these balance sheet dates. The guarantee liability is included in Other Current Liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. STRATTEC’s proportionate share of the guarantee based on our ownership percentage in SAL LLC totaled $536,000 and $507,000, respectively, as of September 27, 2015 and June 28, 2015, and accordingly, our investment in SAL LLC included these amounts at these balance sheet dates. Our joint venture partner did not guarantee their proportionate share of the SAL Credit Facility. As a result, we recorded a loss equal to our partner’s proportionate share of the fair value of the STRATTEC guarantee based upon their ownership interest in the joint venture of $488,000 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 and $27,000 during the three months ended September 27, 2015.

SAL LLC maintains a license agreement with Westinghouse allowing SAL LLC to do business as Westinghouse Security. Payments under the license agreement were guaranteed by STRATTEC. As of September 27, 2015 and June 28, 2015, STRATTEC has a recorded liability equal to the estimated fair value of the future payments due under this guarantee of $250,000. The liability is included in Other Long-term Liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. STRATTEC’s proportionate share of the guarantee of these payments based on our ownership percentage in SAL LLC totals $127,000, and accordingly, our investment in SAL LLC as of September 27, 2015 and June 28, 2015 included this amount. Our joint venture partner did not guarantee their proportionate share of the payments required under the license agreement. As a result, we recorded a loss of $123,000 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 which was equal to our partner’s proportionate share, based upon their ownership interest in the joint venture, of the fair value of the STRATTEC guarantee.

During fiscal 2015 and during the three months ended September 27, 2015, loans were made from STRATTEC to SAL LLC in support of operating expenses and working capital needs. The outstanding loan amount totaled $250,000 and $100,000 as of September 27, 2015 and June 28, 2015, respectively. A valuation reserve of $250,000 and $100,000 was recorded as of September 27, 2015 and June 28, 2015, respectively, in connection with these loans. The corresponding loss related to this valuation reserve was included in Equity (Loss) Earnings of Joint Ventures in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in each respective period.

Notwithstanding the existence of the SAL Credit Facility described herein, as a result of STRATTEC’s guarantee of such credit facility and as a result of borrowing limitations imposed by the bank under such credit facility, effective with our fiscal 2015 fourth quarter, 100 percent of the funding for SAL LLC was being made by STRATTEC through loans and guarantees. Therefore, effective with our fiscal 2015 fourth quarter, STRATTEC began recognizing 100 percent of the losses of SAL LLC through Equity (Loss) Earnings of Joint Ventures in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
