Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including

our principal executive officer and

principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and

procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report as such

term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)

and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Based

on this evaluation, our management, including our principal executive

officer and principal financial officer,

concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 25, 2022,

to ensure that all material

information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit

under the Exchange Act is accumulated

and communicated to them as appropriate to allow timely decisions

regarding required disclosure and that all such

information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the

time periods specified in the SEC’s rules

and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The continued acquisition integrations and systems implementation activity

carried over from prior quarters when

considered in the aggregate, represents a material change in our

internal control over financial reporting.

During the quarter ended June 25, 2022, post-acquisition integration

related activities continued for our dental and

medical businesses acquired during prior quarters.

These acquisitions, the majority of which utilize separate

information and financial accounting systems, have been included

in our condensed consolidated financial

statements since their respective dates of acquisition.

Additionally, we continued systems implementation activities

related to the upgrade of the warehouse management system

for our Australian dental business.

All continued acquisition integrations and systems implementation activity

involve necessary and appropriate

change-management controls that are considered in our quarterly assessment of

the design and operating

effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide

only reasonable, not absolute, assurance

that the objectives of the internal control system are met.

Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control

system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that

all control issues, if any, within a company

have been detected.
