6. Income Taxes

Effective tax rates were 37.5% and 37.9% for the 2013 first quarter and 2012 first quarter, respectively. Income tax provisions of $1,014 and $992 were recorded in the 2013 first quarter and the 2012 first quarter, respectively. At the end of each interim period, we make our best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year and the impact of discrete items, if any, and adjust the quarterly rate as necessary.

Generally, accounting standards require companies to provide for income taxes each quarter based on their estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year. The authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes allows use of the discrete method when, in certain situations, the actual interim period effective tax rate may be used if it provides a better estimate of income tax expense.

As of May 25, 2012, the Company had approximately $20.5 million of federal net loss carryforwards available to offset future income tax liabilities, which begin to expire in 2025. In addition, the Company has the ability to offset deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities created for such items as depreciation and amortization.
