Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | 14. Income Taxes There was no income tax benefit for either the first quarter of 2014 or 2013 because there is no remaining potential to carry back losses to prior years and future realization of the benefit is uncertain. The Company’s effective tax rate was 0% for each of the three months ended March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013. The effective tax rate differs from the federal tax rate of 35% for both periods primarily due to the limitation of the income tax benefit due to the uncertainty of its future realization. Lakes has recorded income taxes receivable of $2.2 million as of March 30, 2014 and December 29, 2013 related to the Company’s ability to carry back 2012 taxable losses to a prior year and receive a refund of taxes previously paid. Deferred tax assets are evaluated by considering historical levels of income, estimates of future taxable income and the impact of tax planning strategies. Management has evaluated all available evidence and has determined that negative evidence continues to outweigh positive evidence for the realization of deferred tax assets and as a result continues to provide a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. As of March 30, 2014, Lakes had approximately $72.3 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards, which will begin to expire in 2022, and approximately $96.5 million of state net operating loss carryforwards, which will expire at various times depending on specific state laws. The Company is currently under IRS audit for the 2009-2011 tax years and is under audit by the State of California for the 2010 tax year. No adjustments have been made as a result of these audits. However, there is no assurance that the taxing authorities will not propose adjustments that are different from the Company’s expected outcome and that may impact the provision for income taxes.
