Note H - Income Taxes

H .	Income Taxes

For the

three

quarters ended

March 27, 2020

and

March 29, 2019,

the Company’s effective income tax rate was

8.9%

and

24.6%,

respectively. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Tax Act”), a company is prohibited from recognizing certain foreign global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) deductions and credits when in a domestic loss position, but is required to include the foreign GILTI income inclusions. In the prior year, the Company recognized domestic income and recognized a net benefit of GILTI income inclusions and deductions which resulted in a net benefit of

0.67%.

In the current year, the benefit generated from domestic losses was reduced by the required GILTI foreign income inclusions and

GILTI deductions. The

$5,310

GILTI inclusion decreased the rate by

2.66%.

The Company determined that the carrying value of certain goodwill and intangibles exceeded the fair value and a

$27,603

impairment charge was calculated which resulted in a decrease to the effective tax rate of

13.79%.

Income generated in foreign jurisdictions and other tax preference items also impacted the rate.

As discussed in Note A, Basis of Presentation, the spread of the COVID-

outbreak has caused significant volatility and uncertainty in U.S. and international markets. On

March 27, 2020,

the U.S. government signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act includes many measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws, some of which were enacted under the Tax Act in

2017.

In addition, governments around the world are considering various forms of assistance. The full impact of the COVID-

outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the COVID-

outbreak will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, future results of operations, and income tax obligations.

The Company maintains valuation allowances when it is more likely than

not

that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will

not

be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in the tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is required, the Company takes into account such factors as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carry-back and carry-forward periods, and tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of realization of a deferred tax asset. In addition, all other available positive and negative evidence is taken into consideration, including all new impacts of tax reform. The Company has evaluated the realizability of the net deferred tax assets related to its operations and based on this evaluation management has concluded that

valuation allowances are required.

Accounting policies for interim reporting require the Company to adjust its effective tax rate each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate. Under this effective tax rate methodology, the Company applies an estimated annual income tax rate to its year-to-date ordinary earnings to derive its income tax provision each quarter.

The Company has approximately

$1,121

of unrecognized tax benefits, including related interest and penalties, as of

March 27, 2020,

which, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate. There was

significant change in the total unrecognized tax benefits due to the settlement of audits, the expiration of statutes of limitations or for other items during the quarter ended

March 27, 2020.

It appears possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next

twelve

months due to on-going audit activity.

Annually, the Company files income tax returns in various taxing jurisdictions inside and outside the United States. In general, the tax years that remain subject to examination in foreign jurisdictions are

2013

through

2019.

The tax year open to exam in the Netherlands is

2019.

The tax years open to examination in the U.S. are for years subsequent to fiscal

2016.

The state of Wisconsin income tax audit remains ongoing for the fiscal years

2011

through

2013.

It is reasonably possible that other audit cycles will be completed during fiscal

2020.
