Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income taxes |
9. | Income taxes:
(a) | The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of March 30, 2019, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions due to available tax loss carry forwards. The tax years 2012 through 2019 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 net deferred tax assets in the future. As a result, the Company has a non-cash valuation allowance of $19.3 million against the majority of the Company’s net deferred tax assets. The significant items comprising the Company’s net deferred tax assets at March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 are as follows:
