INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective income tax rate for the period ending June 27, 2015 is based upon the projected estimated annual income tax rate. The effective income tax rate for the six months ending June 27, 2015 was 36.7% compared with an effective income tax rate of 39.7% for the six months ending June 28, 2014. The six months ending June 28, 2014 included the recognition of approximately $117 of tax expense related to certain market-based stock awards that were not earned.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income tax positions according to FASB guidance relating to uncertain tax positions. Unrecognized tax benefits were $400 at June 27, 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 June 27, 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.
