Note 5 – Income Taxes:
 
The Company expects its effective tax rate for the 2016 fiscal year to be different from the federal statutory rate due to state taxes. The effective tax rate for the twelve week period ended April 15, 2016 was 39.6% to cover federal and state taxes as well as the federal alternative minimum tax.
 
We recorded an income tax provision of $2,208 for the twenty-four week period ended April 15, 2016, related to federal and state taxes, based on the Company's expected annual effective tax rate. Our provision for the twenty-four week period ended April 17, 2015 was zero. The effective income tax rate differed from the applicable mixed statutory rate of approximately 37.7% primarily due to the valuation allowance reversal on our deferred tax assets in fiscal 2015.
 
As of April 15, 2016, the Company did not have any outstanding federal or state net operating loss carryforwards.
 
Our federal income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the fiscal years ended on or about October 31, 2012 through 2014. We are subject to income tax in California and various other state taxing jurisdictions. Our California state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the fiscal years ended on or about October 31, 2011 through 2014.
