F. Income Taxes

As of September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, the Company had approximately $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of unrecognized income tax benefits.

The Company’s practice is to classify interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, the Company had $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, accrued for interest and penalties.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company received a $17.2 million refund from the Internal Revenue Service of an overpayment of its 2014 estimated tax. The refund resulted from the Tax Increase Prevention Act, H.R. 5771, that was enacted after payment of 2014 corporate estimated tax payments that were due on December 15, 2014. The Tax Increase Prevention Act allows the Company to claim accelerated tax depreciation on qualified property, plant, and equipment additions, and the research & development tax credit on its 2014 federal corporate income tax return.

The Company’s federal and state income tax returns remain subject to examination for three or four years depending on the state’s statute of limitations. The Company is being audited by two states as of September 26, 2015. In addition, the Company is generally obligated to report changes in taxable income arising from federal income tax audits.
