The effective income tax rates for both periods were based upon the estimated rate applicable for the entire fiscal year adjusted to reflect any significant items related specifically to interim periods. *Deferred income taxes.* As of June 27, 2020, we recorded a deferred tax liability (net of valuation allowance) of $7.3 million in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.

The valuation allowance is subject to periodic review and adjustment based on changes in facts and circumstances and would be reduced should we utilize the state NOLs and tax credits against which an allowance had previously been provided or determine that such utilization was more likely than not. *Uncertainty in income taxes.
