INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective income tax rate for the period ending March 28, 2015 is based upon the projected estimated annual income tax rate. The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 28, 2015 and March 29, 2014 approximate the Company's federal and state statutory rates.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income tax positions according to FASB guidance relating to uncertain tax positions. Unrecognized tax benefits were $400 at March 28, 2015 and December 27, 2014.  Such benefits, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate. There were no significant interest or penalties accrued as of March 28, 2015 and December 27, 2014.

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 2010 remain open to examination for U.S. federal income taxes.  The majority of state jurisdictions remain open for tax years subsequent to 2010.  A few state jurisdictions remain open to examination for tax years subsequent to 2009.
