Note 2 — Income Taxes

An estimate of the annual effective tax rate is used at each interim period based on the facts and circumstances available at that time, while the actual effective tax rate is calculated at year-end. For the 13-week period ended November 2, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax expense of 40.1% of pre-tax income. In the prior year period, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of 45.6% of the loss before income taxes. During the 13-week period ended October 27, 2012, the Company reversed a portion of its reserve for uncertain income tax positions for which the statute of limitations expired. This adjustment resulted in an income tax benefit of approximately $205,000. For the 39-week period ended November 2, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax expense of 35.5% of pre-tax income. In the prior year period, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of 70.8% of the loss before income taxes. In addition to the activity noted in the prior year period, during the 13-week period ended July 28, 2012, the Company recorded state and federal employment tax credits totaling approximately $400,000 that related to prior year periods and in excess of previous estimates.
