Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | 13. Income Taxes Income tax expense was $0.2 million for the six months ended June 28, 2015, which was attributed entirely to alternative minimum tax. There was no income tax benefit for the six months ended June 29, 2014 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 (9.9)% and 0% for the six months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014, respectively. For the six months ended June 28, 2015, the effective tax rate differs from the federal tax rate of 35% due to the alternative minimum tax, permanent differences and the limitation of the income tax benefit due to the uncertainty of its future realization. For the six months ended June 29, 2014, the effective tax rate differs from the federal tax rate of 35% 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 $2.1 million and $2.2 million as of June 28, 2015 and December 28, 2014, respectively, 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 June 28, 2015. The Company is currently under IRS audit for the 2009-2013 tax years and the IRS has proposed certain adjustments to the tax filings for those years. However, Lakes believes it is more likely than not that it will prevail in challenging the proposed adjustments and maintains that the positions taken were proper and supported by applicable laws and regulations. Lakes does not believe, when resolved, that this dispute will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. However, an unexpected adverse resolution could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements in a particular quarter or fiscal year. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company was notified by the State of California that their audit of Lakes for the 2010 tax year had been completed and resulted in no adjustments.
