INCOME TAXES

We recorded income tax expense of approximately $6,498,000 related to income before income taxes of $16,505,000 for the 13 weeks ended December 28, 2014. For the 13 weeks ended December 29, 2013, we recorded $7,383,000 of income tax expense related to income before income taxes of $19,485,000. The effective income tax rates for the 13 weeks ended December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013 were 39.4% and 37.9%, respectively. The primary difference between these rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% is due to the effect of state taxes, non-deductible expenses, adjustments to reserves for uncertain tax positions, including any related interest, and mark-to-market adjustments made to measure the Warrants issued in connection with our 2014 Refinancing at fair value.

No significant cash tax payments were made during the 13 week period ended December 28, 2014. Due to our federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, and based on historical levels of performance, we do not expect to make any significant income tax payments in 2015, 2016, or 2017.
