INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective income tax rates for the period ending June 28, 2014 were based upon the projected estimated annual income tax rate. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 28, 2014 was 40.2%. The income tax provision in the six months ended June 28, 2014 included the recognition of approximately $117 of tax expense related to certain market based stock awards that were not earned and additional expenses related to the true-up of the year-to-date provision pertaining to the revision of the annual estimated tax provision.

The Company's effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 29, 2013 was 21.6%. The difference between the effective rates and the statutory rates for the six months ended June 29, 2013 was the result of the domestic manufacturing deduction used to develop the 2013 estimated tax rate and the inclusion of a $202 non-taxable settlement gain associated with a company-owned insurance policy. In addition, $157 in federal tax credits were recognized as a result of tax legislation passed in January 2013.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income tax positions according to FASB guidance relating to uncertain tax positions. Unrecognized tax benefits were $303 and $291 at June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively.  Such benefits, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate. There was $12 and $0 of interest or penalties accrued as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013.  The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly during the next twelve months.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to United States federal income taxes, as well as income taxes in a number of state jurisdictions.  The tax years subsequent to 2009 remain open to examination for U.S. federal income taxes.  The majority of state jurisdictions remain open for tax years subsequent to 2009.  A few state jurisdictions remain open to examination for tax years subsequent to 2008.
