5. Income Taxes


The effective tax rate was (43.4)% and 6.4% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 4, 2015, respectively compared to (8.7)% and 46.4% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2014, respectively.  The components of income tax expense in both periods were primarily foreign and state taxes as we currently have a valuation allowance recorded on substantially all domestic deferred tax assets.   As there was a valuation allowance recorded on substantially all domestic deferred tax assets in both periods, income tax expense on domestic income was offset by a reversal of a portion of the existing valuation allowance.  The change in the effective rate was primarily driven by the change in pre-tax results for the respective periods.
