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 August 2, 2014, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of 38.4% of the loss before income taxes. In the prior year period, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of 47.2% of the loss before income taxes. The decrease in the rate from prior year reflects discrete tax credits received in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 that related to prior years. For the 26-week period ended August 2, 2014, the Company recorded an income tax expense of 39.8% of pre-tax income. In the prior year period, the Company recorded an income tax expense of 31.1% of pre-tax income.
