6. Income Taxes


In prior years, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on substantially all of its deferred tax assets.  The effective tax rate was 11.6% and 25.3% for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2014, respectively compared to (18.4)% and (5.8)% for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2013, respectively. The income tax expense recorded in the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2014 represents state and withholding taxes, return-to-provision adjustments, adjustments to uncertain tax position reserves, and tax expense recorded in foreign jurisdictions. The income tax expense recorded in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2014 represents state and withholding taxes, return-to-provision adjustments and adjustments to uncertain tax position reserves, partially offset by tax benefits recorded in foreign jurisdictions.
