INCOME TAXES

We recorded income tax expense of $156,000 related to loss before taxes of $2,171,000 for the 13 weeks ended March 31, 2019, and income tax expenses of $4,670,000 related to income before taxes of $13,062,000 for the 26 weeks ended March 31, 2019. Including the transactional impact of revaluing tax assets and liabilities, we recorded income tax expense of $927,000 related to income of $3,460,000 for the 13 weeks ended March 25, 2018 and, including the transactional impact of revaluing tax assets and liabilities, we recorded income tax benefit of $18,763,000 related to income of $19,097,000 for the 26 weeks ended March 25, 2018.

The effective income tax rate for the 13 and 26 weeks ended March 31, 2019 was negative 7.2% and a 35.8%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the 13 and 26 weeks ended March 25, 2018 was 26.8% expense and negative 98.3%.
The primary differences between these rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% are due to the effect of state taxes, non-deductible expenses, adjustments to reserves for uncertain tax positions, including any related interest, and mark-to-market adjustments to value the Warrants.

We file a consolidated federal tax return, as well as combined and separate tax returns in approximately 27 state and local jurisdictions. We do not currently have any federal or state income tax examinations in progress. Our income tax returns have generally been audited or closed to audit through 2012. See Note 11 for a discussion of our tax audits.

At September 25, 2018, we had approximately $63,048,000 of state net operating loss tax benefits. The Company consumed its federal net operating losses in the year ended September 30, 2018.
