NOTE 10 – INCOME
TAXES
 
Accounting standards require that all tax positions be analyzed using a two-step approach. The first step requires an entity to determine if a tax position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. In the second step, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis, that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. In the first six months of 2015, the Company decreased its liability for unrecognized tax benefits by $0.1 million. As of July 5, 2015, the Company had accrued approximately $27.2 million for unrecognized tax benefits. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company’s deferred tax asset as of July 5, 2015 reflects a reduction for $21.9 million of these unrecognized tax benefits.
