Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income taxes |
10. | Income taxes:
(a) | The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of March 26, 2016, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions due to available tax loss carry forwards. The tax years 2011 through 2016 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets to determine if any adjustments to its valuation allowances are required. As part of this analysis, the Company could not reach the required conclusion that it would be able to more likely than not realize the value of both its U.S. and Canadian net deferred tax assets in the future. As a result, the Company has a non-cash valuation allowance of $57.3 million against the full value of the Company’s net deferred tax assets. The significant items comprising the Company’s net deferred tax assets at March 26, 2016 and March 28, 2015 are as follows:

(b) | At March 26, 2016, the Company had federal non-capital losses of CAD$21.2 million ($16.0 million in U.S. dollars) available to reduce future Canadian federal taxable income and investment tax credits (“ITC’s”) in Canada of CAD$260,000 ($196,000 in U.S. dollars) available to reduce future Canadian federal income taxes payable which will expire between 2022 and 2035.
(c) | As of March 26, 2016, Mayors and another of the Company’s US subsidiary have federal and state net operating loss carry forwards in the U.S. of approximately $100.6 million and $91.1 million, respectively. Due to Section 382 limitations from the change in ownership for the year ended March 29, 2003, the utilization of approximately $35.3 million of the pre-acquisition net operating loss carry forwards is limited to approximately $953,000 on an annual basis through 2022. The federal net operating loss carry forwards expire beginning in fiscal 2020 through fiscal 2034 and the state net operating loss carry forwards expire beginning in fiscal 2018 through fiscal 2034. Mayors also has an alternative minimum tax credit carry forward of approximately $1.2 million to offset future federal income taxes.
