On November 2, 2011, TESSCO Technologies Incorporated (TESSCO or the Company) filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the period ended September 25, 2011. Therein, the Company discussed changes to its internal organization and presented business segment disclosures based on these changes. The Company is now filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to also provide historical segment information in a manner consistent with these internal organizational changes. While this information would have been reported over time as comparable prior period results in future quarterly and annual filings, the Company believes it is in the best interest of investors to be able to view this information at this time.
