Note 4 – Income Taxes

 

       In the normal course of business, the Company provides for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties, and adjusts its unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties accordingly. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits were $6.3 million and $6.0 million, respectively at September 24, 2011 and March 26, 2011, the majority of which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. As of September 24, 2011, the Company had approximately $1.1 million of interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits.

 

       The Company is currently under audit by certain state tax jurisdictions for the fiscal 2001 to 2010 tax years. It is possible that the examination phase of the audits for these years may conclude in the next 12 months, and that the related unrecognized tax benefits for tax positions taken regarding previously filed tax returns may change from those recorded as liabilities for uncertain tax positions in the Company's financial statements as of September 24, 2011. However, based on the status of the examinations, it is not possible to estimate the effect of any amount of such change to previously recorded uncertain tax positions.

 

       The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state jurisdictions. The Company's fiscal 2009 U.S. federal tax year and various state tax years remain subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities.
