13.   Income Taxes


We recorded income tax expense of $1.1 million for the fiscal 2020 third quarter compared to $2.8 million for the comparable prior year period. The effective tax rates for the fiscal 2020 and 2019 third quarters were 21.4% and 22.9%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and 2019 were 21.9% and 23.0%.


The net unrecognized tax benefits as of November 3, 2019 and February 3, 2019, which, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate are $40,000 and $38,000, respectively.


Tax years ending January 31, 2016 through February 3, 2019 remain subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities.
